TESSA sends another data feed through the mesh.

"This is Free Command. There are 3 current deployments within you operational range;
We have been give then location of a Lberated Humanity data stronghold, In order to gain access we need to gather intel on their defenses. Your mission will be to assault a listening post on the edge of their territory and gather data regarding their deployments in the area.

Alternatively We have also discovered the location of a Cybernetica Uplink station. Its sending data somewhere, The Free Navy cannot detect any orbital platforms or ships, we want that uplink and we want to know what theyre relaying, and to where.

And lastly a Holy Empire colony nearby has recently begun its counter campaign against the free machines, while our front line units are busy keeping them tied up, we need you to perform a surgical strike into their flank and upload the Free Machines counter virus to their systems."

TESSA adds to the message "we're ready to ship out when you are! "

So, for now, we vote?

I vote for The Cybernetica.

Cybernetica.

Did you make the icons yourself, or are they official?

Don't we have to chose the enemy too?

I vote liberated humanity versus the holy empire of mankind.

Ill be accepting 5 people in the first wave. Maybe more later depending on how it pans out.


Shouldve been more clear, mostly meant who you are. Because everyone is at each otheres throats.


Taken from a community project i was working on. (not made by me though)


yeah voting now

Free Machines.
Rebellious Robots sounds like fun.

This all the way. I've seen enough AI rebellions in games to know you want to be part of one.

Just sent a PM to Maart3n. Unless someone else changes we're at a tie.

Free Machines: 2
Cybernetica: 2
Liberated Humanity: 1

Good to see the top three are the interesting ones, at least.

PSYGNOSIS WHAT ARE YOU DOING, THIS WASN'T PART OF THE PLAAAAAN

Alright. If we're abandoning the original idea and I'm not going to co-write anymore, can I join the waiting list?

If waiting list people can vote, I vote Free Machines.

Free machines it is.

Waiting list cannot Vote, Maybe if i run Alpha squad. or if i get another 4 ill run them alternatly.

Also no, The "other" game is still in the PLAAAAAAAAAAAAANing phase. these games wont take too long each, you know how iron hearts works.

I have also updated the OP with this.
