Damnit people, this is why I said to keep the truce. Because now everyone's ganging up on the cats.
Also, don't forget to contact your local Eldritch Being(s), so that they can help with our mission to destroy the universe.

One, we should look into fusing Cat DNA with our soldiers

This comes up periodically, so I will reiterate. You do not currently have the capacity to do selective genetic manipulation at this point to the degree of splicing two random species together with desirable results. The Warriorborn do exist currently, but they are few in number and somewhat stigmatized. Their existence is as much a rumor as anything else, and there's more fiction about them than fact. Intelligent cats are similar. They exist, they fulfill their function, and they communicate with a select few understanding humans. However, their intelligence and ability to communicate is again mostly rumors, with those who know the truth isolated at the fringes of society, and they've made no move to join a side in the war.

Quote from: No Treaty
Ocker use improved blockade running to sneak back to Kasgyr.
Dionysus and Jupiter travel with improved blockade running back to kasgyr. Get their new skypaint.

Anguis II, Viperidae, and 4 Natalies (3 with comms, 1 without) travel from Kasgye to The Hive. 1 Comms Natalie scouting, the rest using Coordinated ambush. We cannot afford any piracy at this point, it would set the docks behind schedule.

One Natalie (without comms) scouts Glowcove.

The Burned Marines keep advancing, using survival tactics. Capture Burned Mountain!
While they're at it, do some squad reorganization and optimization to prepare for redeployment to a combat zone.
--->Marine Squad Siegmeyer: 1/4 Tower Shields | 3/4 Aetheric Pistols | 1/4 Witch-Hunters | Aetheric Grenades (1 per squad)
--->Marine Squad Sieglinde: 1/4 Silk Vests | 3/4 Aetheric Pistols | 1/4 Witch-Hunters | Aetheric Grenades (1 per squad)
--->Marine Squad Siegward: 3/4 Aetheric Pistols | 1/4 Witch-Hunters | Aetheric Grenades (1 per squad)
--->Marine Squad Siegfried: 1/4 Aetheric Pistols | 1/4 Witch Hunters | 2/4 Cutlasses
--->Marine Squad Sieghard: 4/4 Cutlasses
--->Marine Squad Siegbald: 2/4 Cutlasses
--->Marine Squad Siegrun: / [75%]

Marines at Blackstone! Use Prepared Bait and Strike, aided by whatever civilian resistance we can muster. We promise reinforcements are coming soon.
Also transfer 4 topaz pistols from Squad A to Squad B.
Evacuate any civilians not able to join militia to deeper within the spire.

Marines currently at Kasgyre, get lots of practice with your slings, because we're sending reinforcements to Blackstone soon and we can't afford to equip everyone.

No you don't get it, it completely failed, to the point that the design documents were disposed of, the militia critically failed. We rolled a one on the efficiency.

You do not understand. We have 38 marines stationed there. They had a good kill ratio last year. Nothing has changed, they will have a good kill ratio this year. It is a choice between losing 1 tile of ground and killing some Wreth, or losing 1 tile of ground, not killing Wreth, and having some fluff that gains us absolutely no advantage. Not having a militia is unfortunate, but it does not change the equation. It still benefits us slightly to contest the ground with defensive tactics.

Edit: Its not quite true that nothing has changed. We ram out of grenades but we have awesome camouflage now so it probably evens out.

Further endangering our citizens lowers morale. Negotiating a treat to protect them looks good.

I don't think morale matters except for fluff, and Looking good certainly doesn't matter.

LINES WE WILL NOT CROSS, REMEMBER THAT? THIS IS SOMETHING SIMILAR. Hopefully we get a buff from it, and if not it fits with our in game outlook, that there are some lines we will not cross.

Lines we do not cross was an event created by Draignean. This is an event created by us. Giving sides bonuses for events the players create themselves sets very bad precedent, so I doubt Draig will do it. The only bonus we will get is whatever Wreth grants us, and they aren't stupid or honourable enough to grant us anything. Only take it from us.

A good GM gives points for RP. This is RP. We have been amoral in the past, and the fluff surrounding it was... dark.

Cool. I still want the treaty. It's the right thing to do, and we must hold the moral high ground, an important factor to maintain our government.

Marines at Blackstone retreat and let Wreth advance. Use prepared bait and strike to set up traps and fortifications in the next territory back.
Also transfer 4 topaz pistols from squad A to B.

Marines currently at Kasgyre, get lots of practice with your slings, because we're sending reinforcements to Blackstone soon and we can't afford to equip everyone.

As resulting from Discord discussion. Lead balls for your rifles are now able to be purchased separately and used as sling ammunition. 1 ore per squad.
