Agents Of Empire/Turns/1/House Intrepid
Turn 1
House Actions
Shipping: An ad-hoc cultural mission boards the Titanicus: Seve, Rexx and the other Arabian Knights, plus an assortment of human and avestruz musicians, artists and stand-up comics. They head for the Imperial homeworlds.
Fighting: Novice military unit in J13, The Fightin' Fighters, move to K14, to protect the mine. They are led by Bram Lincoln Continental (Roger).
Exploration:Novice explorer unit in J13, The Lewison Clarks, move to K14, in preparation of a larger voyage. They hang out with The Fightin' Fighters and Bram.
Production: The basic warp crystal mine in K14, the Bonanza Mine, produces 1 raw unit. (Assuming that the later upgrading this turn does not interfere with it.)
Processing: None
Research: None
Building: The Bonanza Mine at K14 is upgraded from Basic(1) to Large(2), at a cost of 7 (assuming there's no House skill modifier to price.)
Landing: The Titanicus, narrowly avoiding hitting a comet as it exits the wormhole, lands on the fashionable and wealthy resort planet of Bikinia (somewhere close to the centre? I'm not really sure what it means to travel to the Senate, but that's the idea).
Trade: None
Politics: The Arabian Knights play a series of exhibition matches against local teams.
Character Actions
Bram Lincoln Continental (Roger): He travels with The Fightin' Fighters to K14. He is carrying 3 mega-credits worth of trade goods. His plan, upon eventually contacting the hostile avestruz currently in L14, is to sway them to join forces and fight for the Arroyo Provisional Government. (The cost of a novice military unit being 3.)
Seve Ballesteros (Iain): On the night before playing sector champions The Dukes of Prudence, Seve throws a beach party for local dignitaries (they're pretty laid-back on Bikinia; Hawaiian shirts are considered formalwear). He tries to drum up interest in starting an astro-polo League of Champions, with the finals to be held on Arroyo.
Seve also makes some bets on the outcome of the match. Rexx won't let him put the Titanicus up as a stake, so he offers an IOU for warp crystals and/or a personal appearance in further matches (i.e. skipping some actions in subsequent turns). In return, he's looking for something to fill the cargo hold, free transport (so we can travel and/or ship for a few turns without tying up the Titanicus), or ideally cold hard mega-credits.
Forecast End-of-Turn Resources
- Raw warp crystal: 1
- Mega-credits: 3 (held by Bram)
- Cargo ship: 0/5 cargo, docked in Bikinia.
