Holy hell this has gotten a lot more complicated than I usually deal with. My turn might just be 60 minutes of weeping and slightly expanding the few sub-chains I can figure out. I'm set up to receive PM's now, so nothing can stop this catastrophe.

My turn is done, and the save pass on the EvilReaver. I'll write up the turn tomorrow, but it won't get posted until after Elf's to try and keep some semblance of sanity.

They said need me at the eleventh hour. I had no idea they meant literally. Here was I, a fresh graduate of the Aberdeen Engineering School just like our hero Montgomery Scott, preparing to continue the glorious work of bringing the machine to a virgin planet. I’d just completed the VR training, where I’d even built a plane! (didn’t get to fly it, but that’s pilot work anyway). I have to admit that I kinda cheated on the train training, but it would be OK as long as didn’t feature heavily in the…  Crap. That’s train tracks up there. Well I got enough training to figure out this was a coal mining outpost. Didn’t look like there was much for me to do out here, so I just had to figure out a way to get back to the main base in something like reasonable time.  Wheeeeee! I have a wee wander around the main base and see if I can spot any obvious problems. There’s a whole mess of unpowered radar dishes. Those suckers suck up juice like a Glasgow radiator, so I decide they were disconnected for a reason. I find a box filled with engines, which I’m going to assume is part of an ongoing project. I also have my first encounter with Logistics Robots. Hey there little guys! I have no idea what you do. Aberdeen Engineering School has failed me totally on the subject. And that’s when I realised I was miles out of my depth. I wasn’t worried though, I just took stock of my surrounding, dried my tears, and worked out what I could do to improve things round here. I found out the power situating was getting a little desperate. Also I found a chest filled with steam engines, so I guess that’s just providence or some such.  Steam engines for everyone! I ran out of space inside the base, so I just put them outside of the defensive perimeter. I’m sure this will prove to be an excellent idea. I'm feeling pretty clever about the whole endevour. The new engines are draining the water supplies down to nothing, so I stick down a big bunch of pumps at a nearby pristine pool, along with a chain of conveyor belts to feed some new boilers with coal. All great ideas.  Crap. Seems those stupid aliens didn’t think so, and tore a bloody great hole in my boilers. Luckily I found a chest filled with laser turrets! And since we now have the energy to power them, I throw those suckers down to defend my new boilers. I couldn’t find any walls to defend my lasers, so I improvise by building a wall of lasers around my lasers. That the kind of quick thinking you can thank Aberdeen School of Engineering for! I wander round the base again, fixing a whole bunch of little bits of damage that the aliens have done. Where I fix it, I put up some more of my patented Wall Lasers. I head back to the train station to beef up the security a bit.  I wander round the base again, and find we’ve gotten a shortage of coal further down the line. As you can see the set-up here is the problem. We need to be using both sides of that belt to double our capacity. I dismantle the belts here, and quickly re-arrange them. OK, that didn’t work. Neither did that. No. No. No. AAAAAAAnd there we go.  THERE SHUT UP IT’S PERFECT. Jimmy cricket, that took so goddamn much time. I gotta justify my time here, so it’s LASERS LASER AND MORE LASERS. In fact, screw it, I’m out of here. I’m off of this crappy planet. I’m going to get in the car I found in my pocket and do donuts round the base for the few minutes I’ve got left. Hopefully one of you smart-alexs can figure out how to build a stupid missile defense system.
