Research bonus AI/Robotic with specialized Rampant.
My bad.
Also there are more abilities.
Unfortunately for you the AI is VERY crazy and corrupted making it impossible to tell what more is there, but you KNOW its there. Just not what exactly.
JAL was kind enough to tell what it could 'remember' and help with.
JAL is currently in the Reboot Phase and is coming online nicely. Good news is this gives you time to place him somewhere...safe. When he is fully online next turn his gestate ability will kick in giving him a HUGE bonus to whatever action you assign.
Awakened abilities next turn will be the following
HAX: There is nothing you can't hack tech or organic. Psi or magic it don't matter you can hack ANYTHING!
Assembled Bot Corruption: When activated nearby inorganic materials will be assembled together create corrupted machines.
Assembled Brood Corruption: When activated organic materials will be combined to create organic brood units.
Crazed Code: When activated all nearby tech will go haywire randomly becoming corrupted, turning into Madtek, or flat out exploding enough as we as more! During the temporary haywiring all tech is considered 'compromised' allowing JAL to operate with impunity.

Plans have been developed.
Mindy in particular was excited to work with JAL claiming that Psionic AI were extremely rare for some weird reason. Something about giving people the creeps it could read their minds but being perfectly fine if the AI would know all porn habits through their browser history and how when you get down to it what little difference there is.
JAL can handle devastating the zombie's psy and surviving the backlash. More due to it being impossible for him to go more insane then he already is.
After the plans the zombie horde proceeded to clash with our defenses. The zombies unfortunately are led by psi and smart zombies as well as other mutated strains were present within the horde.
That was when a strange bomb went off coating nearby zombies. Which proved a useful coverup for a much more insidious infectious agent was launched...
After that a terrible chain reaction began to infuse the zombie horde. While at the same time our scanners started going INSANE readings of psi. Which only seemed to be growing more intense as time wore on...

When JAL proceeds to hack into the zombie Hivemind it starts to get kick back with OVERWHELMING power. So much so that Mindy is sent flying but JAL somehow barely manages to hang on.
That was when a psychic scream was issued from all the zombies mouths.

All zombies in range of the psychic calling no matter their strain is headed towards you.
normal Psi zombies can only manipulate their own strain and they are considered the worse zombie terrors. Fortunately they are ultra rare. Its rare for a zombie horde to even possess a smart zombie much less psi ones...
A SUPER psi zombie is no longer limited to their own strain and thus results in the most powerful of zombie threats. They can forcefully fuse together multiple strain hordes into the legendary super horde.
A super zombie horde is said to be a relic of the Fall as ever since the zombies declined they haven't been able to put together a super one...this is mostly true. Nowadays only a super psi zombie can forge a super zombie horde together and that is only possible by combining multiple strains. Single strain super hordes meanwhile are indeed extinct.

Alter the land around our base, make me something resembling a cross between helms deep and the hot gates.

The expansions were to be mostly to known locations like the, now deserted, bandit city and equipped with a smaller scale version of our production facilities along with our various robots to enable them to work more effectively.
I consider the old bandit city incredibly important seeing as if anyone colonises it they may find the underground rail-road we have with it and draw a conclusion we don't want. Plus it eliminates a weakness in our defences, admittedly only we know about. Plus the rail-road makes it easy for us to defend them, by sending troops from the tower, or to assist in their expansion by transporting equipment over.

I assume this is what it comes under but equip all of our population we can with bolt-action rifles and teaching them to reload, aim and fire. They can learn to use them beyond that on the front-line.
Focus on getting the guns into the hands of our "New arrivals" from when the bandit city fell, chances are they have the needed skills.

We will never know 'just' how JAL managed to make a mere 100 bots so nasty as to take the entire lab with for the sake of making sure none got out alive.

We can't win this with our untrained people. Even with a cirt I feel that it would only buy us time.
We would need to do something with the psi powers or a crazy combo of our hero abilities to have a chance.

Rolled 80 (1d100)
>>47358921
It's unlikely anyone is going to save us. I'm sure bane is trying, but even they can't fight this fall level event. They are zombies our dead only make them grow. They are not going to run out anytime soon.
We are going to have to make a sacrifice and leave like bane company did during the purge of bandits. We can only survive at the moment. It sucks balls, but we have to make a move that gets as many people as we can out. We have good powerful heroes and a crazy AI that can build a base. If we Bad Assimilation we just might be able to handle the madness.
Otherwise we need to zombies to attack each other from a combo I can't piece together at the moment.
Maybe using Bad Assimilation (When used on hostile target causes them to go haywire. ) Bot Out (if used on hostile forces they temporarily gain the rampant trait. ) Then throwing some of JAL's powers to make them attack each other.
>>47358891
The problem is that any such combo I can think is going to make our civ irrevocably insane.

What does this mean? Does it mean we can become mutants?
>>47359096
If we have to run then there is one way that I am certain won't be blocked. The underground train tunnel to the destroyed bandit city. We just need to hope that the Zed don't figure out where we went.

We can set the tower to blow and collapse the tunnel.
Or just funnel the into in tunnel making it a soon to be murder hole.
>>47359179
I would prefer to leave the tower undamaged, or to at least take all of our production and refining shit or else we are basically a dead group.
>>47359207
We got JAL to make it for us. They even said they could, it just takes time for harder stuff. We got Bobo who built our tower and the CEO with corp codes. I think we can work things out.

I will back this plan assuming you will listen to what i have to say.
We need guns; pistols; rifles; shotguns and anything else we can in the hands of our people now. Even if they only take two of the enemy down each they shall still buy us more time for our escape.
Below our tower lies a tunnel, to the now destroyed ex-super prison turned bandit city. We used it to move all our goods to them, meaning it is big enough to escape some, not all, of our resources out of here in the short term. The longer we hold the more we can save. We should start with systems which aren't in use; our data banks, refining systems and resources. Followed by our non-combat population and our various infrastructure. After which we take our industry and army out and blow the tunnel.
I suggest moving in this order as if it works, then up until the last moment we will still be making tanks for the front. Yet if our defence fails then at least some of our civ will have gotten out.
I call it the Moscow plan, for we shall be like Stalin and in the face of an ever closer front-line merely move everything out of the reach of the enemy.

Forces sent out to eke out resources despite the heavy fighting. We knew it would be risky but it would be worth it. After all how many of them out there can afford to take the risk? Much less actually doing so?
Besides the massive amount of psi materials we brought in there was also an unexpected development.
More psi awakenings have occurred and those who already had psi found it further enhanced. The combination of psi storm and combat danger did a fantastic job at bringing out the psy trait in our population.
At this point psy awakened actually make up a significant minority of our population.
It used to be 1 in a 100.
Now its 1 in 10 have psy.
This psy storm is a dream come true for triggering awakenings and drawing out normally rare psi materials. Sadly we DID suffer some losses of life...but the price it was WORTH IT!
If this was the Pre Fall days everyone would of enjoyed a significant bonus.
Meanwhile a certain AI was established in the former biolabs...we noticed only two things. One was a sudden psi vortex appeared near the labs slurping up the psi storm. The Second was a transmission claiming that the work done is 'harmless' because of clones who apparently 'damages will be transferred unto'. Somehow this insures 'safety' how we have no idea but according to the people stationed at the labs...once you can get over the creepy factor its shockingly safe things that SHOULD kill you...somehow leave you perfectly unharmed(albeit with a clone taken to the dump) and there are 'benefits'.
Naturally there was some shuffling as some people ran away from those labs without looking back while others ran TO it. Apparently there are some risk takers who consider it worth the potential benefits of staying there.Gods save them.

Combat is ongoing but seems to be finally slowing down...or spreading out. We aren't entirely sure. Can't detect shit with the psy storm raging outside.

Train new security forces, and request volunteers from among our psions to form what will eventually become a special psi unit.
Seriously guys, our military is 73.
>>47368756
My reasoning is that while BANE and the paramilitary will always handle the heavy fighting, we lack the manpower for even basic security, which is a problem.
After we fix that, I suggest we explore the Preemo complex via our tunnel.
We should make a battle doctorine that properly uses the psions, 1 in 10 being psions is such a big number that maybe making power armour that are custom made for psions might be smart.
Rolled 55 (1d100)

I'll back the training. There is still fighting going on after all. Well could use a few other units as well. Corp guards, corp researchers and so on. Corp units of all we can make basically. The CEO would be great at leading them with his command focus on them. Sal should have the scouting down for the moment.
Concerning Psionic integration, I think the power amrmor is a good idea.
I'm also wondering why the Artillery Raiders wanted psi and magic stuff so much.
My suspicions is the usage of pre-cognizant artillery guidance. Being able to use psychic and magical powers to tell where an enemy is before sensors even get them, in addition they can pre-target their enemy with real time movement and lead their targets.
With enough skill it's also possible for them to guide the shells directly onto the targets too.

Command is especially scary because of how easily it combines with other traits.
Like Bonus WAR or RESEARCH if you have research units...because it ALL stacks.
Stacks can easily get really fucking scary especially if they fuse well and go well together.
However officer units ARE fragile. Like super fragile I follow real world logic where the stronger they are the more people they command is bullshit. It doesn't work like that while being strong DOES help what is most important is being a skilled commander.
So commanding units tend to be quite squishy even their heroes are squishy. Naturally given how they work its the enemy priority to kill your officers and why its important to guard them well. Given how hostile the setting is politics takes a backseat to results for the military allowing the problem of shitty peacetime military bullshit to be much more easily bypassed.
So officer quality is on average higher then in our world. Officer quality got improved yet again when politics and governance evolved high enough to discontinue officers who buy their way in. Now in many factions (further enough along the timeline/development) have yet better officers yet again.

What are Corps Units like in the post apoc?
In the Pre-Apoc Sci-Fi the Corps were super strong just like in borderlands, since money still existed and we had real megacorps. In Petyr and Abigails world the Corps were able to control their own PMC armies where in the post apocs the mercs seem to be more inedependent.
Rolled 45 (1d100)
>>47379414
Many mercs in the post apoc were actually former PMCs many of whom were 'affiliated' with a megacorp. With the fall and death of their parent corps they went 'rogue' but many of them kept their mercenary ways turning to the familiar Post Fall Mercs. They aren't the only paramilitary forces who went merc but they are most certainly the majority who did so.
Corps in the post apoc are either trying to reunite with other remnants(in which case allowing them to turn back into a proper mega or a basic pre fall corp) or striking out on their own to establish a new corp.
Pre Fall megacorp were indeed powerful they could even screw over many governments they were so strong. Some say its even a requirement. Naturally there were some powerful governments who even they had to play nice with.
Megacorps weren't the only powerful galactic merchant forces. One of the biggest reasons the legendary corporate council was founded was ACTUALLY to compete with them they were so powerful that the individual corps weren't but a bug in their eyes. The corps however the most powerful merchant group among humanity.
Corps units in the post apoc splintered heavily into their specializations assuming that is their specialization was worth keeping. Those that weren't degenerated even further into the survival and tribal groups. Corp units who stayed such however DO all carry a familiar bearing across corporate lines and the reason for this is the Corporate Code as stated by the Corporate Council. This similarity is so strong that even remnants from the same corp would actually be more different from each other but more similar to other corp remnants because of the corporate code! Their own corporate code not being as sacred or them diverting to much from it resulting in finding more similarities in other corp remnants then their own remnants.
Technically this means ALL corp remnants abide by the corp code UNLESS they go bandit hybrid! This IS however a closely guarded secret.
Rolled 71 (1d100)
>>47379699
As far as the other factions see turning bandit the same way each other and think that is ALSO true for the corps!
BUT its not!
By corp standards a corp ONLY turns bandit when they cease to abide by the Corporate Code. IN other words turning their backs on it! THEN and ONLY then will corps see another corp as a bandit!
This means Corps caught redhanded dealing with bandits and other unsavory factions while turned hostilish to other factions but other corp affiliated ones WONT so long as they still abide by the code!
Thereby creating a bit of a grey area...where naturally the corps exploit the hell out of.
Yet at the same time there might be a corp who turns their back on the corporate code but ISN'T seen as a bandit force by non corp forces! Yet as far as the corps are concerned they vilest traitors and the worse of heretics TM.
This something that confuses other factions resulting in a strange bit grey zone for both areas.
Corp units Post Fall are generally real specialist and commonly viewed as being very greedy that many say took a big part in why the Fall happened. Problem is though...corp expertise is no joke so despite the distaste for it other factions are forced to suck it up. Especially as talent and skill largely died with the Fall. People don't got much choice if expertise is a concern and the Post Fall Corps forces are VERY skilled for it was that expertise that saw them through it.
This does mean however the Post Fall corps view others even lower still because of their lack of wealth and skill. A good way to earn their respect however is by being good at what you do and by being rich!
In this regard the corps are real polite and nice to Think Tanks, Paramilitary, other corps and oddly enough even mutants for some reason.
GenerallyPost Fall corps are rather full of themselves with their noses high in the air unless you belong to those groups. In which case you have their respects and should you have both then even their admiration!

"Heyo I think you might want to know this but I detected an extremely powerful psion among the psy people we trained. In fact there were...two. Mindy also got one but she ain't admitting it!
As for my guy...I think the exposure to the Hunger Hivemind and Psi Storm messed him up good. Anyway he volunteered for some experiments IF he survives I'll give him back to you!
If not well...you still got the other one. Bye bye now its been a LOOONG time since I got to toy around with such powerful psi...hehehehehe."

With these boons and the reactivation of our labs plus JAL's activation we now have huge boons towards the completion of one of our oldest projects.
The mini-assembler technology for the autoproduction of ammunition for full-auto artillery and missile batteries that can fire huge ruonds of ordnance 24/7 with instant construction of ammo from resources on cannon, increasing speed, efficiency, and saftey.
Our Psi-Engineers can telepathically link with our best scientists and Mindy to coordinate research at literally the speed of thought.
Not just this but we now have an even bigger advantage through Sarah. Sarah is EXACTLY what we need for the miniaturization since she can telekinetically manipulate parts and pieces in ways no machine can truly replicate.
Think how hard it is for a machine or even a man with tools to build micro-constructs and nanites. But Sarah can get a clear mental image of the blueprints, parts and pieces and then through thought alone assemble them midair by manipulating the metals with her very mind to fit blueprints exactly.

If this works out maybe we can turn the ruins of preemo into our new secondary base?
bump
>>47383765
We'll have a lot of options when our teams come back, we might even have up to 3 new bases we can build.
I just want to finish the artillery project so that we can safely protect our new bases without having to have our military run this way and that.
If we could make super artillery that predicts enemy movement with psi powers and make it super mobile with psi powered hover abilities. Then figure out a way to teleport ammo to them with psi powers, then it would be a hard counter to zombie hordes, almost immune to bad terrain and with little resupply and ammo restrictions with an ability to engage zombies at a safe distance. Could support all our bases and be amazingly versatile!
>>47344547
You guys realiset here is a quest board now?
>>47385321
We know, please don't start the argument, we're here and we're gonna keep running here.
>>47385289
That is EXACTLY what I am trying to do.
I will forever be curious as to what the Artillery Bandits were using psi and magic for though.
This is my line of thinking:
We will never be good fighters. No matter what, we are a Corps, and all around us are paramilitary, bandits, mutants, zombies, ghouls all of which are deadly. No amount of training can change our nature unless we really get a super drill instructor or something, and even then we would be diverting precious manpower into our army which won't be as effective as someone who has been fighting all their lives.
But, this is how I've seen other Corps do it in game. They always hire paramilitary, and they rely on their specialty to build vehicles. Heavy tanks, super tanks, behemoths and more. It would be a lot more cost effective for us to become good tankers.
But even then, it still won't be enough. We aren't by any means the only tankers on the field, Preemo was churning out behemoths. Tanks are tough, strong, and a good defense and offense but we can't rely on them soley.
That's where the artillery comes in.
Artillery is the most direct form of combat from the home front to our enemies. It relies on our population's speciality, the ability to rapidly manufacture ammunition and armaments, and it provides the fastest form of delivery. It gives our population the ability to smash our enemies even though they are better fighters than us.
Through the use of our hired paramilitary to fill in the gaps in our military, the provision of power armor and weapons, the production of heavy tanks and behemoths to back them up, but most importantly the ability to support them all with intense and sustanied firepower from ranged is how we will win over our foes.
Remember that until the coalition came bearing down on them, Artillery Mountain was nigh unasailable under the arty bandits. And that was without tanks, or paramilitary, or power armor, or psi.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifWwj_Jp86A
>>47385435
This is how I envision our army composition will be in the future:
>Infantry:
Will consist primarily of hired mercenaries and allies like Bane and our Paramilitary overseer's. We will supply them with power armor, plasma weapons, and any other armaments and ammunition on request.
Our Psi-Infantry and any combat forces we happen to have will fullfil a primarily support role to Bane, likely as casters, blasters and telepathic comlinks. I suggest we train heavily on our forces to become expert combat engineers, the psi-people can help lift debris out of place, dig dirt into trenches, or reasaemble parts and damaged vehicles on the field.
>Tanks:
We will develop a main battle tank with all around flexibility. The mass production models we will give to our best pilots and fullfil a primarily support role, while any Super Tanks and advanced specialist vehicles we will give to Bane's best pilots.
>Heavy Vehicles:
Our behemoths will act as miniature mobile forts, in a sense. Primarily they will support our infantry and tanks via close range firepower and AA, likely we will have to convert them into Boom Towns and Sky Killa's
>Aircraft:
We'll need an all around aircraft we can produce en mass that fits what jobs we need. Maybe a VTOL design? Alternatively we develop a fighter class and a bomber class respectively.
>Long Range Support:
Our bases will house our advanced Artillery superweapons able to make an umbrella of protection that stretches for miles around any single base, able to deliver huge waves of ordnance and missiles to the battlefield and in an emergency our forces can fall back and man their additional close range defenses.
Each base will be able to support any other with massive tons of long range arty.

>>47385435
I like your thinking, but maybe we should consider investing in drone tech. Drones as air support, and for resupply, or even fire-and-forget-psy powered suicide bomber drones. To a simmilar effect
>>47387208
Why not go the Psy puppet route, like without a Psy operator its just a hunk of junk. Think puppets, mentally controled legions of drones, a single psyker back home controls a fire team of 4. These four puppets would work in perfect unison sharing sight, perfectly synced firing lines and cooperative melee.
>>47387208
Absolutely.
Primarily the reason we're wanting to invest in the minifactories for our artillery pieces is for precisely that reason.
Instead of having to manufacture and produce ammunition at the factory, thereby having the danger and logistical issues of both storage and transport of high explosives, each single gun piece up to the largest is able to directly convert resources/materials into ammunition.
A Drone will simply be able to fly a big one ton block of resource onto a depositor and that will serve as its ammo source, making it less prone to exploding, safer, and faster.
In time we might also develop field recycler units to smelt scavenged scrap and wrecks into yet more steel which can then be loaded up into the guns.
Not to mention other drones for repair, recon, etc. stuff we've seen used in the game before.
>>47387338
These are all lovely objective but I feel we must expand, both to support larger armies, populations and projects but also to have back-up bases in case the tower is attacked, again.
Preemo will be first, followed by us making new bases; seeing as we have access to highly advanced production, refining and construction technologies we should be able to create some small, secure, hidden bunkers. All of which are just a smaller scale version of our tower.
>>47387208
>>47385592
I got a cool idea i also want to refine.
We can make top tier non combat scouting drones, and we give them out to everybody in our coalition under the pretense that we all contribute to a central map database for all of our members to use
Call it "Maticuco maps" and we have advertising space banner ads of course, >"10% off at crazy Bobo's power armor emporium"
>"Try the new McSupah Monster burrito"
>"Lonly hot local mutants in your area want to talk to you"
>>47387419
im for this...we already are in the mountains, why not after establishing in Old Preemo set up a base to form a triangle? Wherever that last point falls we make it an underground bunker that we access through tunnels via preemo and tower until it is 100% done, only then do we make its own unique entrance?
>>47387419
>>47387454
This is hard for me.
I'm not really for expansion because I feel if we're already having trouble holding one base with what we have, how can we expect to hold another base?
We'd be stretching ourselves thin without any means to militarily protect our other bases.
The only exception to this is if that second base is being built by JAL, who has been proven to be able to hold his own against the wasteland.
>>47387454
When the storm clears, I want us to retake Artillery Mountain as well.
