DNT_WAR_HARV_LANG_1 |
Grah! Old honourable warrior retires! Death! Death! Warrior remuneration! |
WAR_HARV_DESC_1 |
I open a list of military achievements that’s waiting for upload. There are images of distant battles, bloodied robots and vast explosions. A covering note clearly expects something in return, but the author chose not to send it. |
WAR_HARV_OPT_A_1 |
Send war record |
WAR_HARV_OPT_B_1 |
Edit war record |
WAR_HARV_RES_A_1 |
Celebratory barks and howls spill from audio speakers. I take the warrior’s reward. |
WAR_HARV_RES_B_1 |
I amend the war record with colourful nonsense and send it. The terminal flashes as it records my image. |
DNT_WAR_HARV_LANG_2 |
Grah! Vy’keen High Command demands your Sentinel kill count! |
WAR_HARV_DESC_2 |
Military insignia and images of recently destroyed Sentinels fill the screen. Alien propaganda imagery takes glory in the destruction. I can respond with a numerical value, and nothing else. |
WAR_HARV_OPT_A_2 |
Input a huge number |
WAR_HARV_OPT_B_2 |
Input a small number |
WAR_HARV_OPT_C_2 |
Input a zero |
WAR_HARV_RES_A_2 |
A strange, strangled military fanfare starts playing. Someone impressed by my claims sends through a reward. |
WAR_HARV_RES_B_2 |
A small reward payment is sent through the facility’s systems. |
WAR_HARV_RES_C_2 |
An angry warrior’s face screams at me from the screen. A security laser appears from the ceiling and takes its best shot. |
DNT_WAR_HARV_LANG_3 |
Grah! Pathetic warrior! You displease my ancestors! Accept my offspring mating proposition! Accept dowry tribute! |
WAR_HARV_DESC_3 |
I find an image of a young warrior. The picture makes it look virile and impressive. Its tendrils are outstretched. It looks rich, and of good breeding stock. The look in its eyes is… sultry? The message gives me two options. |
WAR_HARV_OPT_A_3 |
Accept |
WAR_HARV_OPT_B_3 |
Refuse |
WAR_HARV_RES_A_3 |
Speakers throughout the facility play orchestral music. I receive a generous gift. |
WAR_HARV_RES_B_3 |
A warrior elder appears on-screen and curses me. |
DNT_WAR_HARV_LANG_4 |
Grah! Pathetic coward! Face my duel challenge! The chosen weapon is in your facility! Death! Death! |
WAR_HARV_DESC_4 |
I find a picture of a deserted plain, a diagram of two aliens in combat and images of a chosen form of multi-tool weaponry. The images then seem to show the weapon locked inside a planetary trading vault… The message sounds angry, and as if one of these creatures occupies the moral high ground. I can accept, or refuse. |
WAR_HARV_OPT_A_4 |
Accept |
WAR_HARV_OPT_B_4 |
Refuse |
WAR_HARV_RES_A_4 |
Dramatic music plays. The storage vault opens, with a multi-tool inside. |
WAR_HARV_RES_B_4 |
I hear an angry ranting alien through the terminal speakers. |
DNT_WAR_HARV_LANG_5 |
Grah! Gek war approaches! Vy’keen High Command request weapon reserve inventory! High Command send missing equipment! |
WAR_HARV_DESC_5 |
A huge list of equipment is waiting to be sent off-world. It’s a stock list of some sort: everything has been confirmed and ticked off. |
WAR_HARV_OPT_A_5 |
Send stock list |
WAR_HARV_OPT_B_5 |
Uncheck one item and send |
WAR_HARV_OPT_C_5 |
Uncheck many items and send |
WAR_HARV_RES_A_5 |
I receive units and thanks. |
WAR_HARV_RES_B_5 |
Warrior High Command sends me a multi-tool technology blueprint. |
WAR_HARV_RES_C_5 |
Warrior High Command is displeased. An angry General bellows at me and electrifies the facility. |
DNT_WAR_HARV_LANG_6 |
Grah! Today child experiences Vy’keen war ceremony! Tradition demands gift! Aggression left, defence right! Enemy blood! Death! Death! |
WAR_HARV_DESC_6 |
I find an off-world message intended for a creature posted in this station. It’s oddly sentimental. Images of an infant warrior can be seen, then a picture of the same creature as a bloodied adolescent – proudly biting into the throat of a hoofed beast. In the final image a young warrior salutes its family as it leaves a distant world. There are two locked storage vaults at my feet. The message is programmed to release only one… |
WAR_HARV_OPT_A_6 |
Choose the storage vault on the left |
WAR_HARV_OPT_B_6 |
Choose the storage vault on the right |
WAR_HARV_RES_A_6 |
A contented snarling sound plays. The vault contains an exosuit technology blueprint. |
WAR_HARV_RES_B_6 |
A contented snarling sound plays. The vault contains a multi-tool technology blueprint. |
DNT_WAR_HARV_LANG_7 |
Grah! Vy’keen war preparation nears completion! Death to the unsuspecting Gek! |
WAR_HARV_DESC_7 |
Someone is building a nuclear warhead. The plans that have been set in motion are unmistakable. A complicated sequence of technology blueprints and isotopic chemical reactions is waiting for the final addition of Thamium9 to be complete. There are countless lives on an unknown planet, far out in the cosmos, that could one day end due to this war factory’s work… |
WAR_HARV_OPT_A_7 |
Complete warhead manufacture |
WAR_HARV_OPT_B_7 |
Attempt to deconstruct warhead |
WAR_HARV_RES_A_7 |
The face of a delighted warrior appears on-screen. The factory’s trade vaults unlock. |
WAR_HARV_RES_B_7 |
I salvage a technology blueprint from the warhead. |
DNT_WAR_HARV_LANG_8 |
Grah! Foolish, pathetic, ignorant Gek Trade Federation believe peace treaty! Warrior give trade to pacify! Death soon! |
WAR_HARV_DESC_8 |
An off-world message has been sent here from a species of beaked traders. It looks like a signed contract, or maybe some sort of treaty. In response several offerings of valuable trade goods have been left in a vault by local warriors for exportation. Warrior High Command has sent a subsequent message to explain… |
WAR_HARV_OPT_A_8 |
Give trade goods |
WAR_HARV_OPT_B_8 |
Take trade goods |
WAR_HARV_RES_A_8 |
The Trader species thanks me from afar. I am sent units to pacify me further. |
WAR_HARV_RES_B_8 |
I remove the offerings. Diplomatic relations between two species are destabilised. |
DNT_WAR_HARV_LANG_9 |
Warrior! Gek peace treaty demands reparations. Insert Oxide and High Command will send replication recipe to appease Gek. The pathetic Gek must feel secure. Patience warrior! |
WAR_HARV_DESC_9 |
A signed contract, or treaty, is open on-screen. Military orders from an off-world commander can be seen below it, but have not been acted on by the warrior posted here. I notice a faint imprint on the terminal where an empty product recipe screen has been punched. The disobedient warrior has left a vault full of rare oxides untouched, still waiting to be fed into the first stages of production. |
WAR_HARV_OPT_A_9 |
Drop oxides into production machinery |
WAR_HARV_OPT_B_9 |
Take rare oxides |
WAR_HARV_RES_A_9 |
The oxides begin processing. Warrior High Command provide an appropriate reward. |
WAR_HARV_RES_B_9 |
I take the rare elements. Local warrior forces approve. |
DNT_WAR_HARV_LANG_10 |
Grah! Gek homeworld covert ops mission initiated! Surprise war! Death! Death! High command send equipment! Request! Request! |
WAR_HARV_DESC_10 |
This appears to be a staging post for an imminent military operation. On-screen plans show a trading ship that carries a very particular sort of cargo, that’s perhaps intended to persuade a distant planetary authority to allow the craft through their checkpoints. Covertly, however, the craft has been heavily modified – and also carries a phalanx of warriors carrying enhanced multi-tool technology. I can request further details on several aspects of the plan before I am detected, and shut out of the system. |
WAR_HARV_OPT_A_10 |
Investigate details of the cargo |
WAR_HARV_OPT_B_10 |
Investigate details of the trade ship |
WAR_HARV_OPT_C_10 |
Investigate details of the multi-tool |
WAR_HARV_RES_A_10 |
I receive the product blueprint of the cargo being used in the covert ops mission. |
WAR_HARV_RES_B_10 |
I receive a technology blueprint used by the covert ops ship. |
WAR_HARV_RES_C_10 |
I receive a technology blueprint used in the multi-tools of the covert ops mission. |
DNT_WAR_HARV_LANG_11 |
Vy’keen covert ops ended. Deleting covert ops language data. Databank alpha: Vy’keen internal security. Databank beta: pathetic Gek. Databank gamma: weak-minded Korvax. |
WAR_HARV_DESC_11 |
This is a military terminal, in a facility that seems recently vacated. Three huge databanks have been partially deleted, and will require heightened processing power to restore them. A rare silicate would likely do the trick. Databank alpha bares the emblems of the warrior race, but beta and gamma are otherwise unmarked. |
WAR_HARV_OPT_A_11 |
Restore databank alpha |
WAR_HARV_OPT_B_11 |
Restore databank beta |
WAR_HARV_OPT_C_11 |
Restore databank gamma |
WAR_HARV_RES_A_11 |
The revived databank provides more information on the language of the warrior species. |
WAR_HARV_RES_B_11 |
The revived databank provides information on the language of a distant trader species. |
WAR_HARV_RES_C_11 |
The revived databank provides information on the language of a distant electronic species. |
DNT_WAR_HARV_LANG_12 |
Grah! Pathetic distant warrior leave powerful multi-tool in storage vault! Avoid rare isotope usage in explosion - too powerful! Uncommon isotope required! |
WAR_HARV_DESC_12 |
The storage vault shows clear signs of tampering that has resulted in an explosive device being attached to its hinges. The bomb needs fuel for ignition, which would most likely blow the vault wide open. Though what the most suitable isotope would be isn’t clear. |
WAR_HARV_OPT_A_12 |
Use uncommon isotope |
WAR_HARV_OPT_B_12 |
Use rare isotope |
WAR_HARV_OPT_C_12 |
Report suspect device |
WAR_HARV_RES_A_12 |
The lock on the vault is blown clear off. I retrieve a new multi-tool that lies within. |
WAR_HARV_RES_B_12 |
The explosion is huge, and consumes the entire vault in flame. Shrapnel embeds itself in my knees and ankles. The pain is extreme. |
WAR_HARV_RES_C_12 |
An instant response and reward comes through from the warrior species’ High Command. |
