This is one of, if not my favourite series of quest that got started here this episode. Knowing that in the grim dark future, bureaucracy is even more over the top and frightening is just absolute great.
And Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Maybe also "Bill: Hero of the Galaxy" a bit, but those are major 40k inspirations in general. All of those come from 1950's-1970's and as we can see automation, PCs and even AI didn't beat the established dogmas of bureacracy even one bit. Who cares if you can digitally process and store billions of requests a second if all those requests can be denied, looped, derailed, ignored, gaslighed, turned into return request, confirmations and billions of other things?😅 Plus Warp travel puts a fat nail in any attempt to centralisation and standardisation of governance in 40k anyway. Astropaths play "broken telephone" with each message since they're not machines and all physical goods travel with insane degree of randomness.
I harvested the heck out of those trauma kits. Glorious, glorious trauma kits. Uh. Not that I was constantly getting injured or anything of the sort. Emperor forfend.
It feels like A.A. stands for adminstratum alcoholics. So far the best adeptus we’ve interacted with is the amasecus, which funnily enough was made from an adminstratum ship.
I have a feeling that since it's Jae's personal quest, it's not yet over and we'll soon be reminded of both Asterix&Obelix AND Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy. I'm pretty sure that we'll be seeing both bribery and combat with other people in ques. Meeting Adeptus Administratum makes one respect AdMech😅 I hope you will go for option that will allow to recover Von Valancius seals. I also makes me question - have Theodora not promoted a SINGLE interstellar merchant during her rule? On a topic of planet improvements, I'd say go for the Shild of Whatever for the escort ship and for Cappella Biologis for those medkits. Your time is also a precious resource and Maglevs are mostly flavour even if I'm a fan of building new infrastructure. So better pursue projects that give some payout plus they won't drag time as they're on separate planets and don't compete for rare resource bottleneck. I do wonder if escort ship is respawning though? P.S.: Complacency is a bad word chosen for this stat, though it maybe suits the setting. Just view it as prosperity. It's NOT a negative stat that needs to be balanced with security(authority) and efficiency(exploitation), you can go for it freely.
I'd prioritize those medkits too. Sure you're probably not going to be injured often enough at this point you desperately need it but it being renewable makes it worth doing now imo. Plus the flavor text for it was interesting.
Plain restoration of the Spire seems like a no brainer since it gives the most colony stats ie it's a long term option, however I really am leaning heavily into space elevator/ship berth as Koronus Expanse desperately needs more navy infrastructure. The fact that each project is followed by decisions(which one can't look up on wiki to spoil themselves), also means that due to following Abelard suggestion, hive denizens are already gone from it, they were resettled and given jobs even if it pisses off nobility. Let's just say that the other two options would eventually build too, just not on a tight timetable Valen has right now. And not by burying dying people alive😅
Filth of the Expanse, hmm... I do wonder if taking that upgrade would cause an event where Vladym grows more hostile towards you because Dargonus' black market trade starts to intrude on his turf. Might that conflict with Valen's earlier desire to gain Vladym's favor by being a better partner than the other two Rogue Traders?
My theory would be to get whatever gets you both faster. If the maglev train greases the gears for the kits, then that. If not, then the kits are clearly more useful.
Kafka would be proud of the Administratum.
Ah yes, the mightiest of eldritch horrors that reduces even the most stalwart souls into gibbering madmen. Bureaucracy.😒
The Space DMV -- you never know when it will strike!

The Administratum quest line reminds me of the portion of the The Twelve Tasks of Asterix animated film.

The escort ship really helps out in the space battles.

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only... forms 😧

I would think building upon the ruins of a already destroyed city, would at the very least compromise the stability of the new hive
39:15 Yes! Vindicationnnnn!
Ah yes the Space-DMV Quest
Like and good video.👍👍 Great work as always.
