Conquered, Klos 5th-10th, 350 AC, winter, moon waning from gibbous to crescent.
In the days after the quarantine, the Programmers are temporarily (they hope) settled. Most of them are kept at Conquered, since they are used to living in small enclosed rooms. Mensa (who is working with President Ramil to reclaim Middex), Zelda, and a handful of others are brought back to Akton. The Presidents interview the Programmers, seek your input, and deliberate on their future. Gaal Lont suggests building a few new houses at Akton, to house them in case Middex is not quickly saved. Ramil concludes that many of the Programmers are unskilled beyond their computers, and are useless and paranoid outside of Middex. He suggests that having them go through military training might be the sudden shock they need to mold them into useful citizens.
The trial of the deconite enforcers is set to begin within the week. Arvak and Ragnor will be needed as witnesses. The Tribunal is having a hard time finding anyone willing or qualified to represent the accused. Reluctantly, they ask Zeebo (who offered his services in pre-turn 2) if he would like the job.
Zeebo: so far, you are swimming in smuggy joy about Zelda, and everyone (except Zelda who is almost as perfect as you) seems more nauseated than usual around you. Zelda has traveled to Akton, and is staying in the Bunker. When not working on the Middex problem or at R&D, she does hang around your apartment (unless you lock her out!) With further first aid and time, you heal up to 100 hp.
Arvak: you go to Sanctuary and tell tales of your recent exploits. Saving children from mutant monsters, despite grevious injury and biogenic infection, gets you big time brownie points with the healers and champions. And you score a few more whole-body applications of Malkar cream. You are back up to 124 hp. You look to get a new cape. The nice thing is that the Champion’s tailor has a number of oversized cloaks, and some in red. Anywhere else, you would have to get it custom made. She will sell it to you for 35 domars.
Phallon: Silas, the secretary of trade, wants a report on any potential artifacts, salvage, or other resources from your past few days. You are encouraged to mention anything, even if “owned, unattainable, or cursed”, since situations may change in the future, and the company can lobby with the government for future claims, etc… You are fully healed up to 131 hp.
Ragnor: As the moon phase wanes, your agitation fades away, leading to calm thoughts and pondering. President Ramil asks you your opinion on military training for the Programmers, since you helped train a bunch of random misfit badlanders last year, into the current core of the Akton Army. Also, it will be a new moon for the deconite enforcer trial. You will be a witness at your most diplomatic and thoughtful time. Would it serve the nation best for the previous murderous thugs to be executed, or is there another way? (See akton history, or pre-turns for past info) You heal up to 100 hp.
