Mountain+King+EoT+3

MIL: +++++- The army will take the newly designed clank-boarding anti-airship guns, thank the sparks very kindly, and use practice and non-sparky sights to figure out how to use these in combat. Where an inventor might not succeed, a pool of mechanics collaborating with some experienced artillery crews just might be able to calibrate them properly. (Using Military +++++- to try and finish what our sparks started.)

ECON: +++ Investing materials and employing workers to dig a pit and construct a containment shell for the Theosoph's infestation. They'll probably have to apply some spark to make it a long-term solution, but that's their problem. (Not sure if we'll get any benefit from this beyond saving the world.)

ECON: +++ Blinking in wonder that no one's detected any signs of the Big Dig yet, the Mountain King will authorize more resources to continue the tunnels out in all directions. (Increasing Mil, it looks like.) After some thought, he puts a moritorium on putting it through the borders of the major nations. No sense in antagonizing france, or england, or the other big players if it should come to light.

MOR: ++++- Seeing excellent progress on the big dig, the people of New Morlockia will throw their backs into continuing the project. It's a record year as a LOT of work gets done.

SPK: ++++- Using our scientists and newly-acquired clank knowledge to design and build new patrol clanks, in an effort to improve our fairly pathetic espionage defense, and incidentally improve the police forces of New Morlockia. (Attempting to increase ESPD)

ESPD: ++- After having the Birds of Prey acknowledge that they're reading our mail, a fairly big shakedown in the Department of Morlockian Espionage will be instigated, in an attempt to tighten up security and find the leaks. (Attempting to increase ESPD)

ESPO: + Making preparations to send the retrieved Glorious Army clank to the Kingdom of the Beshadowed sun, along with a copy of the notes from our sparks regarding the clank. (This will happen next turn, as soon as I get their agreement.)

WO: ++++ Sending Professor Pendleghast to talk a bit about our recent clank developments (but not the source) at Transpolygnostic university, in an attempt to attract some eager young minds to New Morlockia. (Increasing Spark)
