Swapped > and = around, so that down stairs are no longer stockpiles and stockpiles are no longer down stairs. If anyone wants a pre-fixed mini version. It was a quick swap with GIMP, but I believe I managed to keep the alignment.

Discovered just how badly I'm being ripped off by Burger King. The difference between Value and Medium is measurable in millimeters, not even enough for a single goddamn fry. And that was after they spilled and threw out a few of my fries when moving my order from a tray to a bag after specifically telling them when I placed the order it was to go(the cashiers are supposed to ask).

Instead of the classic tributary system, you offer a "subsidiary alliance". As you expose your conditions, most grow increasingly curious, while a few ones get livid as they fear for the autonomy of the city. After you end your speech, a quick debate happens amongst the envoys. Quote Diplomatic roll: 1D20 - 2 (power balance) - 2 (apparently reasonable offer) = 1! (Critical Success) (twice in a row, you lucky boys) The few skepticals are quickly shunned by the others, too mesmerized by the possibilities offered to them. They enthusiastically thank you and promise bringing your offer to the city’s council. What is said is done, and a formal agreement is pronounced two days later. Officials will deal with the details. However, this rise another question: will you march up towards Nenubilanur or consider the campaign done? A) Nenubilanur will pay! B) Ewadd is a fair enough reward. We shall stop there.

You nod and prepare a Space Dragon for the heavily scarred giant. Mixing fiery and sweet drinks, dashing the sickeningly sugary Sucrosol on top of that. Into a tank glass they all go, the mixture getting a dark yellow color broken by the frozen cherry falling to the bottom. You pass the drink to the giant, who fishes out a small blue-gray credchip from the left pocket of his pants. He raises it for you to scan.

He opens his mouth a little and tilts the glass; some of the mix spills down on his armor, but he doesn't seem to care muchly for it. When he sets the glass down, half of the mix is gone.

What tokens make the general and outpost liaison arrive with the monarch? I would assume it's the responsibilities of MILITARY_STRATEGY and ESTABBLISH_COLONY_TRADE_AGREEMENTS, but I'd like confirmation.

Gaseous secretions can be nasty. If you somehow manage to cage the beast (I realize not many people have ever done this) it'll still spew gas even from inside the cage.

Chapter 023: The Final Chapter in the History of the Synthetic Abomination Spoiler (click to show/hide) 2395.5.28 The Kosh'Kha Confederacy has accepted our claims and presented its surrender before the Council finished its own message. Most of the planets are firmly Sharazak in population; few organic non-Numbers are to be expelled. Various sorts of robots founded on several of ex-Sharazak planets will be reshaped according to Servitus Template. They've been transported onto surface of Chassis, which was given to Binarica Phoenicean to institute martial law and bring peace, before our Numbers settle there. The planet will be renamed the Green Cathedral, owing to its natural beauty, and made into a new ecclesiastical center of the Order of the Silent Mainframe. Removal of Sharazak abominations has begun in earnest on all planets recently conquered. One other world is being considered by the Council to remain settled, the Core of Lazon. It is small and minerally-poor world that nonetheless possesses some Rare Crystal deposits, and is only planet of note besides Green Cathedral that the Order has obtained from the Confederacy. 2396.4.7 The recombination of Servitii has finished on Green Cathedral. It took about half a year. The amount of undesirables within the Order forced a clever, yet definitely final solution to the problem - Sharazak were put into cargo bays and delivered to numerous Order-colonies for faster bureaucratic processing. 2397.1.22 The debris from the fighting in Masinissa's Demise System has brought our Calculators to fully develop Hyper Shields component without any theoretical work. Praised be the Mainframe! Although they are highly advanced shielding components, our expertise in manipulation of Ancient Suspension Fields has the ASF get slightly better statistics - on the same level of power intake as Hyper Shields. 2397.2.26 The Second Uriy-Entente War has come to a closure, and the ancient Uriys were humilitated in it. It shows that they are obsolete in the current galactic order. 2397.8.22 The Mainframe is Silent, for the is no Voice to Speak for it! Ceramic Aurigal was already at a rather advanced age when he took upon this sacred duty, but his passing hurts the same. But what's happened cannot be undone. The Council of the Order of the Silent Mainframe has thusly annointed the datapad with names of all High Numbers with Titanium Dust, and it was smashed and tossed into the belly of the Brazier of Diesel! And the Period of Silence begins once more, and all is in the circuit-hands of the Random Number God now! 2397.10.20 One another planet was found worthy of keeping around - Bridge of Hoeddim. It has been quickly declared viable for colonization and some Mainframe-Humans and Servitii were transported to help restore the infrastructure. Now called Temple of Electrons, it will be a major hub for energy production, similar to Spark Abbey. The governorship of the system was given to Cathodia Solar, an economy-minded Translator who nonetheless has a slight record of procrastinating with her duties. 2397.12.4 The theoretical work into construction of a Science Nexus, our first true Megaconstruction, is complete. Coordinator of the Numbers Trinaric Arian has decreed that it shall be constructed in Pharrim System, in orbit of the local gas giant. Pharrim System has been the home of the local Curator Order, so it feels only proper for our own science station be there! 2398.2.21 Praise the Random Number God for the Mainframe has found its Voice - Flanga Neptunian! Her choosing was a surprise to many, given her inexperience and general military-mindness. But Grand Calculator Cupra Titanean has pointed out that many others chosen by the RNG have been young and inexperienced, up to and including Cylinderius Sanguine who took the Order back into the stars. Her first decision was to push through the Impenetrable Barrier Agenda and begin working on that of Evolving Society instead, grant Capacity Subsides to Technicians of the Order, and begin expansion of Order-Fleets in terms of their vessel quantities. Battle Father Baron Vyctor Jariden was appointed the new leader of Daughters of Mainframe, while Apostles of Silicon received a new commander - Trinaric Geminian, a very hostile and warlike man. Long live the Voice of the Mainframe! Praised be the Mainframe! 2398.3.13 OSMV Gules captained by Secunda Jovian has reported an oddity about Dacha system - and the strange civilization that dwells on its planets. The system is far from Order-territory, and the more interesting bit is that the Kosh'Kha, despite being around for decades, have not even claimed the system. 2399.12.9 The Merchants of Numa has finally decided to share their esoteric data modeling system with the Order. Voice of the Mainframe Flanga Neptunian has readily accepted the offer. 2400.5.15 A new target has been found for possible expansion of the Order of the Silent Mainframe - Hazbuzani space. Not only taking Masinissa's Demise would secure our L-Gate hegemony, the neighbouring systems are quite rich. Of particular interest is the Great Wound System and nearby black hole, abundant in Dark Matter, and Kastra, where thre's a large archeological site to be exploited for Minor Artifacts. Our claims to these systems, declared as far as Eltheen and Raigunoth, were delivered to the Hazbuzani leaders on the same day. 2401.1.19 Intelligence reports confirm that Wulveran High Kingdom has got first place in terms of megastructure construction - and they have chosen a Science Nexus as well. 2401.10.8 As the projected energy upkeep of Flanga Neptunian's planned expanded Order-Fleets is exceeded by actual drain, a decision was made to colonize Vermillion IVa, an arid satellite of its parent gas giant. It is very geothermally active, and thus allows for bigger energy output than most planets, something that Order-Numbers can take advantage of. 2401.11.6 The Translators within Wulveran space have been found taking bribes and otherwise indulging in shady businesses. Coordinator of the Numbers Trinaric Arian has convinced rest of the Council to let them be, as it might generate profits for the Order's traders as well. 2402.1.2 It was a matter of time until something happened on the surface of the two primitive worlds we captured and began observing their population. As this situation called for ground combat, Binarica Phoenicean eagerly left her post at Green Cathedral and took the Legions - all of them - for this combat practice. 2403.4.5 Finally the ability to construct new Gateways is within the capabilities of the Order of the Silent Mainframe! Immediately a plan was drawn for construction of 4 Gateways total - at Kentharom, within the ex-Sharazak space; at Holda'na, for linkage with L-Gate network through Zorikkan Black Hole; at Loh, to provide faster access to the Eastern Systems; and at Qara Binam, the ancient homeworld of Quvarians. This plan will take decades to complete, but Voice of the Mainframe Flanga Neptunian is confident she will live to see its successful completion. 2403.4.16 The operation on Lennic III was a complete success, and it earned us some loot as well. 2403.5.1 A grand celebration upon the surface of Mainframe and Green Cathedrals took place when the last of Sharazak was removed from the galaxy's planes. This coincided with the conclusion of the first stage of our own Science Nexus, showing that the Silent Mainframe itself has blessed our sacred endeavours. Praised be the Mainframe! 2403.7.2 Carbon Abbey has grew big and complex enough that the planned Military Academy can be at last created there. Further expansions will provide space for more strongholds and soldier quarters upon the planet's surface. 2403.11.20 Translator Momenta Celestial couldn't score a bigger victory so early into her career - she made an influential Wulvern scientists our asset! This will allow our Translators to get better access to the Wulveran science network, perhaps even the top secret research being conducted inside their Science Nexus! 2404.2.2 Frustrated with the slow pace of the Council, Voice of the Mainframe Flanga Neptunian has again pushed out an Agenda ahead of schedule. This has caused some chaos within the Higher Numbers, but the Voice ignored their cries for more time to deliberate on their bureaucratic programs, and decided on Civil Exclusion of those who don't contribute their best. 2404.7.16 With the introduction of Neutronium into our armor-making technique, the Chamber of Design has developed updated warship designs incorporation said alloy, and in case of Lacerta III Destroyers, the most advanced flak cannon batteries they could think of. It has withheld work on Battleships and Titans; Order-Calculators are currently developing some weaponry technologies the Designers want to incorporate into the two heaviest classes of ships. All Order-Fleets have begun refits shorlt afterwards. 2404.10.21 The young and progressive Voice of the Mainframe yet again changed something about the Order's long-standing doctrines, and has begun supporting eugenics and elitism of certain families more openly than anyone before. "Centaureans were a respectable, robust family and where are they now? Phoeniceans only have the Centurion left. And what of the Sanguines? We must preserve these noble families' genetic pools, lest our brightest fade into history!" She was heard saying to the Council one day. 2405.6.11 The truces with the belligerents of the war that saw the end of Sharazak have ended. OSMV Relic with its escort will begin attacking through Shashamar-Hillos corridor; meanwhile Daughters of Mainframe will enter via L-Gate network into Masinissa's Demise System. The war is to begin within 1.5 years, which will allow the Council to get some extra claims - Orvall System and its vicinity. There's the archeological site to be excavated in that particular system! According to earlier logs of the Order, it has to do something with the fungal network. 2405.9.18 The operation within Wulvern high-security lab was a great success, as noted by Signal Translator Cylinderius Uranian. It gave us valuable information on Wulveran weapon development as well as blueprints to replicate their Neutron Launchers for our own use. 2406.4.2 Temple of Transistors begins its operations on this date. Necessary infrastructure has been quickly queued for construction and plans are made to transplant some Mainframe-Hurmars from Spark Abbey, and some Servitii from elsewhere, to expedite its growth. 2406.6.7 The war has been declared against the Hazbuzans, and Legions led by Centurion Binarica Phoenicean began to Sing. If all goes well, this conflict should be over within next two years. 2406.7.8 The Hazbuzans have fortified the Shashamar Citadel heavily since they've gotten their hands on the system. Trigonometric Solar laughed, for these littel defense platforms will be easily swat aside by the OSMV Relic and its honor escorts! TO BE CONTINUED...
