That is the single line of explanation given as Roko herself is cut off at what would appear to be the start of a fiery rant that began in the early hours of the morning, as news of a raid, temples sacked, peopled kidnapped, throws the nation into shock.
The words remain on every Roko related channel for five hours until she is allowed back in, giving no explanation for her absence but instead calmly giving her most heartfelt apologies to all the victims, thoughts and prayers. But more than that, promises of vengeance. Swift, bloody and brutal, this would never happen under Yuuka after all, would it? Tomoko is no-
It is at that point that she is disconnected once again by Spectra Cobaltine.
Action 1; AMBULANT-Class Deconstructor Ship Factory (Consumes durasteel), Durasteel factory (Consumes iron to produce durasteel)
Anonymous orders are sent to Rokotopian workers, orders with Administrator class network clearance. Whatever they’re building it comes from the top, a new factory.
They’re written by an AI, that much is obvious given the complete lack of care for informing the workers what it is they’ll be constructing, but soon enough it becomes clear. Everyone knows what they’re building and why, but nobody dares whisper a word.
This is a factory that produces war materials. The first of its kind in the colony and the workhorse of all further combat, Durasteel.
For the first time since the first empire the Tarnish are going to war.
A second factory is queued up in a similar manner to the first, and explains the purpose of the durasteel. This factory makes monsters.
Whatever administrator designed this technological terror must be proud of it, so efficient in its brutality.
A durasteel armoured warship build to withstand a siege, each with a giant ambulatory monomolecular durasteel sawblade attachment connected to the deck, to literally hack enemy ships to pieces.
Any boarders who land atop the sloped deck will find no purchase against the turtleship hull, no way through the reinforced materials and no physical access to any controls from the outside.
There is no subtlety, none of the refined futurism of Tarnish sciences but instead the brutal Gunmetal solutions of an artificial intelligence who cares only for results on a limited timescale.
Action 2: Gemstone prospecting
The rarest materials necessary for a full return to the material world, these also have a significant use in chargeable weapons technology. Acquiring them will be important for both.
