Last time a wedding went down and a mishap during the honeymoon led to a very magical realm. Upon exiting the MCs found themselves deep in republic turf which they easily escaped.
Alas they have yet to fix the problem besides that one which occurred upon the exiting...
So until then research was done and money was made.
What do?

I say the CEO and Dervish the Broker should go about setting up deals and see if we can keep other corps from smearing the good's name.
Master Mind works to set up false copies of the brood machines. If someone tries to take it they will exploded into infestation bombs and damage them. If possible having the explosion waiting till the most targets will be hit.

Illegal actions of have been performed with the broodification of technicians. Typical for a corp especially a MEGA! Just make sure you don't get busted...or use copious amounts of bribery if you do.

I suppose now would be a great time to invest in superior anti-metallic weaponry which will help not only against robots but also ships.
Let's have the Brood start to engineer some more superior Anti-Metallic forces, perhaps some variation on the archtypical "Rust Monster"
Rather than just soley acting on rust alone, it should also incorporate some acidic stomach acids as well as microscopic metallic catalyst spores meant to accelerate the degredation of steel and metal.
They should be able to be deployed en masse, like in swarms, withering away be it with their teeth and tendrils or even simply smashing their caustic bodies on enemy metals,making them useful as an anti-ship measure.

The outsider rift as its name implies is a rift from this universe to others. Naturally it is a place crawling with things not of this reality making it extremely dangerous. The rift is however very unstable and not commonly used. This doesn't mean there aren't outsiders there and the strange treasures that developed there have lured many over. We thanks to the Infernal Captain have identified no less then four concentrations of very exotic and rare material nodes there as well as sights of other interest. Sadly the outsider presence there is thick and there are other treasure hunters around too.

Petyr makes plans to attend the super classes. He will likely be quite busy...
CEO meanwhile transfers funs to Dervish as requested. Dervish then proceeds to buy supplies on the black market to augment the brood chem pods to produce goods that may entice some of the outsiders. This will likely however require extensive mutation of the brood pods. Luckily Dervish got the materials for it and now the brood is proceeding to develop the mutation for them. Its tricky however as it involves stuff not of this universe. Ixel plans to resort to brute forcing measures by using psi as a guide and magic as the power.
It will however consume extensive amount of the goods that Dervish acquired and take time.
Meanwhile some additional outsiders were hired. Mostly a bunch of demons but a few elementals also signed on.

While Petyr is busy on his super classes, and Abigail prepares for her own school trips, let us proceed with the takeover of the Ruined Planet.
From what I've learned of the Brood and Machines, technology is inherently ordered and not very adaptable to change at the basic level.
And from what we've discovered of the Rift, much of the material here is disorder and chaos embodied.
Have the new mercs and the Infernal captain go and collect more samples as they can, then use them as a weapon against the Guardians. This should fuck up their technology!
buuuuut before we deploy it.

Petyr ponders upon the significance of the Guardians and WHY they are still guarding.
Admittedly, we were very battle hungry and wanted to expand our domain while providing a training ground for our forces, yet it may be these Guardians are guarding something important or valuable. . .or dangerous.how many times have we pressed upon some serious defenders only to finally beat them and it turns out what they were guarding is MUCH worse
For that matter why is this planet and the previous owners dead in the first place.
The Spy and the Spy Network are ordered this time to go on more archeological raids, and Petyr has the Black Laboratory take direct interest in finding out more of the Guardians history , and see if there's any clues if they are guarding only because their owners died, or because they are guarding something else entirely.

Admittedly, a war civ and with the idea of less of a focus stats like in normal civ and more focus on hero but at the same time no stats makes it harder to guage how powerful we are and we need to rely on anon based notes to remember what we have (Many thanks to you Delim and the anon that makes those pictures).
