I was the original inspiration wasn't I?
You were the original inspiration for a pixels-based game? *ahem*

Areyoua accepted the governor's offer and so Hope's weapon attachment is beginning to take shape, all that needs deciding is which of the previously designed weapons will be built (Areyou gets final say followed by Aklyon and then Edio if someone doesn't respond or is indecisive), 1-10 rounds of ammo (dependent on weapon) and the building resources will be provided by Machu Pichu
A massive harpoon (6 metal, 2 days, ammo: 5 metal but 5/6 chance of being recovered, 0.3 fuel, damage per shot (rough+relative): 25)
A basic boring cannon (5 metal, 2 days, ammo: 1 metal, 0.5 fuel, damage per shot (rough+relative): 15)
A gattling gun (8 metal, 3 days, ammo: 0.2 metal, 0.1 fuel, damage per shot (rough+relative): 2)
A missile launcher (7 metal, 1 scarcium, 6 days, ammo: 1.5 metal, 2 fuel but 1/3 chance of completely missing , damage per shot (rough+relative): 40)
Also to be decided is whether or not to set-up artificial lights in the storage area below (0.25 fuel per turn) where food can be grown and to make up resources for when you leave Machu Pichu and they stop supplying your food and to what extent indoor farms should be set-up
Pryodesu talks with one of the scientists on the roof, they would talk in the engine-room but a higher ranked officer and prohibited it and they toss a few ideas around
"You know making a fuel bomb would be as simple as gathering up some dirt from the ground, heating it up into a hollow ball putting in fuel, then set it on fire, chuck it somewhere, pressure builds and boom, probably wouldn't work everytime mind but worth a try..." you talk about the scanner a bit and get some stuff on that done (50% complete) and your new found friend also asks if he could join your habitat as a crew member, you then notice your standing a bit to close to an easter egg for your liking
Ehndras investigates Machu Pichu's structural integrity, for the most part they seem happy although some express concern about the supports at the aircraft hangar noting a large proportion of the habitat could very well die if there was an unfortunate accident, the guard stops following him after a few days, also Kirby tries to climb up the side of Machu Pichu unsuccessfully to remove a camera that isn't there. Geen and Bunny ask to see the big guns but it aren't allowed, he is however given a target practice demonstration, apparently you should always aim for the foot because that's where a bullet hurts the most, you didn't find it particularly helpful but every little helps you guess.
Aklyon talks to the commander and talk tactics, they become quite friendly, towards the end of the conversation the commander gets out a map of the area, Ok at the moment this green area here is where we control, there's another floating city - Abu Merci about our size that helps keep the area safe. Up north-west is where we want to be heading, there's a pretty big desert there where some of the large metropolis's roam, good for trade. Anyway past that there's mountains, your the first part of the operation; cleaning up bandits in the area
The only other noteworthy meeting was between adwarf and a couple of engineers, they estimate the weight of Hope once the weapon is intsalled will be 240 tonnes and the engine can support 360, pretty stable at the moment, if you want to improve it they suggest installing a proper carburetor (1 metal, 2 days 10% fuel efficiency added) and later fuel injectors (2 metal, 20 days 30% fuel efficiency added) it seems the additional 60 tonnes of weight however will cause Hope to use more fuel, other than that they say the best person to think of ideas for improvements to something would be the person who runs it.
