Okay. One last thing before I go and be productive. What's my job, besides opinion giver?

What skills do you have to offer?
Join the military. We cold use more people to fill in those positions.
I'm willing to do this if necessary, but I've always been more of a diplomat, since I'm good at debating 'n' stuff. I'm still a good shot with a sniper rifle. I know lots about computers, and a fair amount of chemistry.
Already have a diplomat. Engineering corps has leader, Debating should be lead to the politicians, and chemistry is for losers who aren't bureaucrats.

If you want any form of bio-weapons, gas, etc. you need a chemist.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Lots of catching up to do. Anyway:


1. Moon base. What happened to the lunar resort? The totally legal business we were going to pitch. Although I will follow Misko if he still disagrees.
2. Iron Tomato's Job. As far as I can see:
Chemical Weapons Development
Field Diplomacy  (no, I have no idea as to what that entails either)
Military Computing
That one Sniper.
Some non-military role.

Your choice.

Wait. Do we have a Public Relations Officer yet? Iron Tomato could fill that role.

I think Corai's on that. I seem to be unofficially advising us on how to make us not look completely cuckoo, as well.

Productivity session ended. I could be the military weapons designer, to combine chemical weapons designer and military computing.

What about fighters/bombers?
I want command of one of them. Britishness, planes are genetic etc etc. Probably bomber command, seeing as that involves more mapping of things and considering more in depth implications, whereas fighters are more just putting fighters where other planes are. Actually, both are pretty complex, but bombers are still probably a thing that would be better? I kind of forgot my point here.

I'd suggest not leaving an AI in full control of ANY possible colonies, or else it will end up like the Dune prequels, only possibly less bad.

Do you mean that Brainfreez makes super weapons, or that Brainfreez is a super weapon himself?

Exactly.
Chemical Weapons Development
IT'S MINE! If anyone is gonna be developing horribly crippling and mutilating gasses, it'll be me.

I take offense to that last one! Fear my clouds of ETHICAL gas! (Now with a fresh minty taste and 20% more nerve damage!)

P.E.A.C.E Stamp of Approval! 100% ethical!
Thank you. Much appreciated.

Airforce currently is my field, though I'll give you the Airforce Strategic and Practical Planning Department ASPPD (which means you'll do all the work and still be subordinate to me) if I get control of our space navy (merchant and military, thank you very much).

1. Helgoland: I take it we should combine the airforce and navy then?
2. Fighter & Bomber command are both available if wanted (see crew roster)
3. We were actually considering using brainfreez as a WMD at one point...
