You decide to send a rescue party in her last known direction. They depart just as the sun sets, carrying a few guns, water, and basic medical supplies. Hopefully, they can find her alive and figure out what is so dangerous about that direction.

Happiness: 4
Population: 6
Wealth: 1
Security: 3
As you are reviewing the data from the latest vault census, an alarm triggers in you system!
A dust cloud has appeared on the horizon! It is heading straight for the work site!
The workers retreat back inside the vault, and your guards fall back to a few makeshift barricades in front of the vault entrance. The ones armed with guns take up the best covered positions, while the remaining guards equipped with tasers cover the flanks and take position just inside the vault.
As before, a few of the unknown vehicles begin to circle the worksite, but this time the bulk comes to a stop and the riders dismount. there are about a dozen on foot, and two circling. They certainly look human, but it is impossible to tell as they are completely covered in rags and clothing.

A nervous guard fires his gun against orders! The bullet strikes the dirt near one of the outsiders!
Immediately, a dozen weapons appear in the hands of the enemy! They are mostly armed with an assortment of small arms, with an smg or two between them. The center one appears to be wearing metal armor. They don't begin firing at your men, but they are clearly agitated and begin to shout and brandish weapons.

Fortunately, your commander steps in and handles the situation perfectly. She visibly strips the offending guard of his gun and makes clear apologetic gestures to the outsiders. The outsiders calm down, though they keep their weapons out. Your men remain on alert, much more conscious of trigger discipline now.

The apparent leader of the outsiders steps forward with a bodyguard and begins to talk to you commander. Apparently, they speak perfect english. After a few moments they enter they vault together, and a heavy contingent of your security falls in to escort them. Upon reaching your office, they seem a little in awe.
"Oh great mechanical mind, I approach you settlement on behalf of the warlord Nirus"
You get the feeling that he has never met an AI before.
"The emergence of your vault was of great surprise to us, but we do not wish for war. Your vault lies within the territory of Lord Nirus. Given the circumstances, he has made you a most generous offer. In return for a small tax, you will be allowed to retain your autonomy, and we will protect your vault from the many dangers of this world. Do you accept these terms?"

A) "These terms are acceptable. You will have your tax."
B) Attempt to negotiate for better terms.
C) Have the commander execute the arrogant fool on the spot, and then return to the surface to fight off the rest of his forces.
D) Politely refuse his extortion, and have your commander escort him from the vault.

((Please decide on a design now. Map will be posted next update))

We have no wealth. choosing A will literally kill us.

Design ideas?  Maybe something we can trade to the warlord.

The tax will not be immediately. You will have time to raise money.
On principle, I try not to give you options that would instantly end the game without at least a little warning. :P

((No design was posted so I will roll for it whenever you guys get something worked out.))

You agree to the most reasonable terms of Nirus. The envoy is delighted to have accomplished his task so readily, and is very impressed with the finality of your decision. It seems he is used to lengthy negotiations in these situation, and your speed and his general ignorance of your nature has left him a little in awe of AI. He thanks you profusely and expresses admiration for your vault and the efficiency of your society. Before he leaves he has one of his men coordinate with your mapmaker to give you a general idea of your surroundings. The Tax will be due just before the time of your next census. Nirus will send a party to collect it.

 
Spoiler: Map (click to show/hide)

Some of the scouts have been discussing the new settlements. They want to send a few parties to the nearby settlements to take stock of the situation and see about opening trade. They estimate that they could just make it to the enclaves or Niruse's Settlement as they wouldn't have to return the same day. They would likely need money to purchase accommodations at the sites, but unfortunately you have no wealth to spare.

A) Outfit expeditions to Niruses city to the south.
B) Outfit expeditions to the enclaves
C) Send an expedition to Niruses city and rely on the good will of the people to shelter your envoy.
D) Send an expedition to the Enclaves and rely on the good will of the people to shelter your envoy.
E) Send no expeditions. We can not afford it.

Albert suggests implementing a tax once again, to help cover new costs.

A) Implement an annual Tax
B) Implement a bi annual Tax. (Twice a year)
C) Our people endure enough without a tax. We will find another way to fund ourselves.

((You would normally decide production now, but if you want to wait until you have a design then you can do production next time.))

Oops, I missed the design prompt.

I think there shouldn't option other than: "See if they're charitable or will take our people as slaves."

Let's see what pharmaceuticals we could develop from our crops. Medicine's a great trade good.

What if we made some kind of ATV truck?  We could make a limited number and it would be actually useful for trade.

If no one posts a full design by later tonight, I'm just going to flip between the two suggestions for the update.
