Theosophs+EoT+8

Do you find it as funny as I do that the generation system has evolved into exactly what I did not want it to be when I started the Imperium line of projects? I intended the project to represent the emerging understanding and application of the substance, a sort of super project that would periodically crank out stats for me. The generation system was meant to serve to illustrate the level of progress and examples of technologies that level of progress meant were common or available. Now it has just turned into a series of projects. Oh well.

MIL: +++ Anti Monster Defense ++ Mutual defense pact. + Plant problem. See spark for contingencies. If the contingency is triggered, move this to Anti-Othar operations should he come to us. If he isn't coming to us, than have the military work on field testing new Imperium technologies and/or invest part of their budget in R&D.

ECON:+++++ +++++ +++++ Imperium Second Generation technology.

++ If Bulgaria and I are still working on the joint projects than send this to that. If not, that roll it into boosting the

MOR ++- See WO. And please inform Bulgaria that we are not viewing this as some sort of scheme, but that we didn't think they would do something moral without some kind of incentive. Please apologize for our cynicism.

SPK:+++++ +++++ + Loki was supposed to be working with us to help solve the plant problem. If they are not, than have the set aside Mil of shardplate equipped marines assist my sparks in bringing the problem under control. See if I can't retain a few samples for agricultural usage, possible weaponization, boarder defense, and improved carbon sequestration. If they are good at that they might help me with my cities by aiding in the life support systems. A non man eating version might allow me to do away with air filtration systems at all since it would fix pollutants and carbon into the soil as nutrients and produce oxygen.

Even if they do help, try to get samples for those purposes.

Finally, since that shouldn't take all my sparks, put the rest on Imperium work. And I think my morale is in need of some work. Would the floating cities make me immune to the monster attacks? That should be good for a big chunk of Morale right there.

ESPD:++++ Anti-Othar Operations. If however his path has been averted such that he is going in the other direction from us now, then use this for the WO project.

ESPO:- See ESPD.

WO ++ Holy Privateers Rehabilitation. The focus is on education and job training. We are not telling the hard core pirates to stop, we are teaching the kids valuable skills so they don't have to be pirates. Additionally the huge support structure of engineers, food producers, and other non combatants are being taught skills so as to allow them gainful employment. In short, we are going after the root of piracy, the economic conditions that make it viable for the individuals that perform it.

Holy Privateers Influence (++ WO ++++ esp d - esp o ++- morale) One note I want to make. The Loki Brigade don't have any of that or at most very minimal versions. They left it all behind in Norway. Yes that means they can't survive on their own. That's why they're pirates and do raids. So you can't really go after the root of piracy here, because every single one of them is a pirate and it is literally the basis of their culture and economy. They used to have ship yards, and farms, and villages to get new recruits out of, but all those things are back in Norway. It is not simply viable for them to be pirates its how they stay alive.
