there were missions run to improve the power supply up here, but aside from that saul was right, mostly. i've been discussing options with the AI, as have a few other people i know of, but right now we're really all still in the planning/recon stages and don't have anything definite.

that's the one, i was part of the final stages in making that work

what we'd be looking at is reconnaisance and gathering information at key points during the development of the united earth, to find the right time/place to make changes. personally i'm going to look into the development of cloning, but that's still in the planning stages.
your own missions look like they were well done. to get a decisive result i think you'd need something dramatic to ensure public opinion remains completely against chemical weaponry, or to offer a viable alternative to it.

I Feel Like It Is Necessary To Acknowledge Our Successes When They Do Occur Lest We Let Dissidents Pretend That No Progress Is Being Made At All And The Rumors Of Idleness Become Reality
that right there is the only reason i think we need to be public about this stuff, but we can make people aware of our successes without divulging too much information
While Issues Like The Cloning And AI Seem Sufficiently Sensitive To Merit A Degree Of Secrecy I Do See The Merit In Making Public Low-Priority Non-Supply Missions Because Otherwise Transports Get Hung Up On Supplies As The Definition Of Mission Very Easily And Do Not Know How To Find Alternatives The Fraction Of Active Mission-goers Is Smaller Than It Has To Be
no matter what we find down in exsilium, i think it's pretty clear that fucking around in the past has even bigger consequences than we realized. if we're encouraging people to go on missions i'd want to make sure we're encouraging the right people

I Never Realized How Much We Owe To The Initiatives Late Tacticians Until It Was Too Late Transports On The Network Consistently Croon About How The Tactical Experts In Our Ranks Are Squandered And Dont Receive A Fair Say They Are Not Exactly Lining Up To Speak Out Now Though
but you're not wrong. transports might be better at planning head on attacks but i don't think many of us have experience with waging war through time travel quite like this.

even if you don't purposefully aim to make an alternative, it'll happen. but i'm not surprised to the technical expertise is hard to come by.
for the information part i've been working alongisde beetle.

for the private missions i mean, not the big ones
[Which sort of... makes her think about the fact she never went on any private missions, but she probably shouldn't think about it too hard.]
but you've got a point. the issue would just then be how to get people to actually follow mission outlines instead of fucking around
