Largely because I want to get something that'd let us get something a bit more exotic (and effective) than an ordinary, perfectly mundane rifle.

Glimmer Farms:

(Easy) 1 + 4 + 1 = 6

As it turns out, it isn't that hard to create 'Spirit Crystals'. Step one is to fill a tank with finished Spirit Brew. Step two is to drop in a 'seed' of already existing Spirit Crystal. Step three, seal the tank. Step four, trace squiggly symbols onto the tank and boil for precisely three point one four days. Step five: siphon away the Spirit Brew residue and remove a large, faintly blue crystal. We're still not sure what to do with the crystal...

Well, cutting cubes of the Spirit Crystal and dropping them into an alcoholic beverages reduces hangover and adds a hallucinogenic effect similar to the result of drinking pure Spirit Brew, but weaker. So that's an excellent use.

The one thing everyone's confused about is why the designer of this project named it... Farms. He must have been drunk at the time. Fairly normal around here.

Brew Master's Apron:

(Normal) 3 + 1 = 4

We've adapted and improved a protective garment into a proper uniform for our soldiers. A canvas jumpsuit with not one but two removable layers! A respirator facemask for protection from fumes and other gasses! Pouches for booze and ammunition! Unmentionables!

No indicators of rank whatsoever!

Probably not an issue.

Air Vehicles:

Shuttle Disks: (4 Ore, 4 Oil, Unknown)
Our Fortress-City came with a small supply of these odd Shuttle Disks, large floating disks that we could fit several large buildings on the backs of. They possess no combat ability, but they're very effective transports. Their method of levitation is unknown, not dependent on the engines they use for propulsion at unfortunately Slow speeds, and as of yet we cannot produce any more, meaning we stand to lose TC if they are destroyed.
Provides 2 Universal TC. Non-Produceable.

Weapons:

Basic Rifle: (1 Ore)
A lever-action rifle capable of sending one bullet at a time out to Medium range. Possesses no magazine.

Basic Pistol: (1 Ore)
A simple four-shot semi-automatic revolver capable of sending out bullets fairly quickly out to Short range.

Supporting Technology:

Spirit Spirits:
A most wonderful blue alcoholic beverage that induces extreme drunkenness, total memory loss, glowing blue eyes, odd hallucinations(possibly involving spirits, we're not sure), and most importantly of all, a complete lack of hangovers.

Glimmer Farms: (Produces 1 Spirit Crystal)
Vats we fill with Spirit Spirits, drop in seed Spirit Crystal, seal, and then boil with the assistance of squiggly runes. After 3.14 days, they can be unsealed, the remaining Spirit Spirits extracted, and hunks of Spirit Crystal removed, cut into cubes, and added to our drinks.
Provides 1 Spirit Crystal.

Brewer's Apron: (Cheap)
A layered canvas jumpsuit with a wide variety of pouches to hold booze and ammunition. Comes with a facemask that does a decent job at filtering out fumes and gasses. Does not come with any indicators of rank.

Crystal Gem Power

By drinking a solution of diluted brew mixed with crystals, we hope to induce communication with these visions, and we are going to try and communicate with them.

Repost:

Firebottles

So we have a brew that catches fire now. Good enough. Now, let's gently boil it down to a low-density gel, and bottle it in a cylindrical flask with the catalyst added in before firing via a ball wrapped in brew-soluble coating.

Spirit Possession
We are now making bullets for our basic rifles and pistols out of Spirit Crystal instead of lead or iron or whatever we dug up. By carving specific symbols passed down from our ancestors, we can invoke those ancestors to guide the bullet's path, making a near-miss into a hit, and a hit into a guaranteed kill.

Further, the vengeful spirits of our fallen will affect the enemy hit by one of these suckers - if they don't die, they will be plagued by violent visions, but we are aiming to kill. A kill however, leaves a vessel empty, prime for possession by the spirits of our side. The corpse will usually rise after a couple of minutes, attacking the enemy from behind their lines, and will last until the crystal bullet fully disolves. Usually somewhere around half a day, we estimate.

Sprit Possession:

(Very Hard) 3 + 1 - 2 = 2

The good news is we now have exploding bullets. The bad news is they always explode right after they're created and we have no idea why.

Investigate the Ship - Chemical Plants: (1) Doomblade

[flabort]

Well, what can we learn from this?
Try for technology before magic? Or make it so Magic is less better understood before we make magic?

Investigate the Ship - Chemical Plants: (2) Doomblade, Flabort

I'd like to learn more about our failure here, and this would seem to be the only way to do it.

Or in words similar to our GM's style of writing:
"No magic, study magic."
