To-Do List

[helvorn]

Here are Walt's outline process

1) Jaelah and maybe Arker set up a self-sufficiency foundation, look to hire management for it and deliver it a tranche of funding to start operations. First operations being to begin farming Metz’ plants on Aki and micro-business loans in Sector 268. If done properly, I might eventually reach the point each operation becomes self-sustaining and our future infusions mean expanding the non-profit foundation’s mission.
2) Metz works on the cyber-security and his other interests. Maybe Bilis and Roscoe create the corporation?
3) Mad Dog’s killers plus deal with whatever that thread unravels
4) Aster, shall we set up an initial Ruined City exploratory Scouts survey? You’ve already been there with your Omicron people before…all this. It’s Glisten, so Ciencia, would there be a Scout Service senior officer we could trust to begin gathering a the trusted agent Scout forces squadron we could take to the Pocket universe?
5) Get as many drones and grav bots along with charging stations and data collection devices into the Teleportals for Space Station, Tech World, Jungle World, and Farm World. Some are already operating there as we know…just need the CAD and fab chargers and data collectors. I’d like to load hundred’s of Recon Drones and Grav Spy Bots. I’d be happy to do this step over the next few days. Bona, William?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but numbers 1, 2, and the first part of four could at least begin now. Metz wants a couple weeks for #2. #3 is an uncertain timeline, and #4 could begin now but might take a few weeks to months to gather the right scouts and scientists. #5

Intermediate steps (in order):
1) Take Ciencia home
2) Go to the dark side of the galaxy

3 Jumps, no, Leaps plus whatever time we spend at each location. So, at least 1 month?

Long term (maybe not in order):
1) Get out to the Pocket Universe’s Portal, cross and see where the Hell it is. Could this be done by a small crew of Scouts as the first visitors as a Intermediate step?
2) Get the Lost and Found into the Pocket ‘Verse.
3) Collect all the data we can from our Recon Drones and Spy bots and create detailed maps and catalogue artifacts and facilities. Use that and any Scouting research to identify next steps.

Just a rough shell of a plan. I have to have left some things out and got things wrong. What other inputs and thoughts.

Jaelah brings up the following issues:

1. The pocket universe is both a blessing and a curse to the Imperium, as it must be both absolutely defended, and carefully utilized to benefit first the Imperium, and then their neighbors.
2. Sooner or later, the word will get out about the pocket universe and the Ancients tech therein. It may take a century, but it will happen.
3. The rate of tech advancement must be carefully regulated, which will require close coordination with the Imperial Crown.
4. Intelligence and communications gathering is an obvious first use of the new tech. Jaelah suggests constructing a Situation Room within the gate complex reserved for the Emperor and his designees, which will be a central, secure, and absolutely secret focus for all gathered intelligence and "out of time" communications. The Emperor then can best control what information gets passed along to whom.
5. Jaelah explains her benevolences program in more detail, explaining that she wants to start with small-scale projects on worlds which need it the most - even places outside the Imperium like District 268.
6. Whom else wants to be uplifted to Ancients status. That's not her specialty, but it is a question.
7. Which Imperial agencies and services will be operating in the pocket universe, and under whose command?
8. How soon would further galactic exploration start, considering the leap drive's range brings a large portion of it into reach?

Legal findings against Sternmetal Horizons.

Public ennoblement ceremony.

Follow up on strange starmap from long dead humans found in Ancients base.

Aster needs to retrieve the Dart found at Aki and brought to Glisten. She'll slip it aboard Yamaguchi and keep it at hand until they get back near the pocket universe.

Build and crew warships.

Mercenary unit license?

Your license is already in existence and has been upgraded to Class V. You can hire whoever you want and buy all the gnarly equipment you need. You even know a reputable dealer here at Banfi Starport. Maybe he could open a branch office on Yamagichi.

Start seeding Ansibles around to enable communications with recipients with one to other stations within ten parsecs. It is unknown if they can act as repeaters.

Walt needs to star the scouts to exploring the pocket universe when the player has time.
