Season: Prosperity (3 months left)
Well, I guess it’s time to convene all the ministers now for the new Consula!
It’s been over a year since the last one disbanded, after a terrible incident that I don’t have the permission to share with you at this time. Despite this, our current period is currently a trial period under the new conditions.
As you all remember, our job is to arrange for our city to function properly, but as you all experienced in “Madness”, anything can go wrong. Just recently, our city was attacked by an entity known under the category of ‘Mystical’ Thralls. Luckily for us, the damage was minimal as they behave in a manner similar to known zombies and happen to lack a ‘Master’ presence in their group, and are also a relatively small group. At the moment, the bodies are being transferred for processing and research.
And speaking of processing, I suppose I must introduce each of you to the current data that is relevant to your role.
Let’s get started then:
Crayfish Lobster
aah31415
| Name | Crayfish Lobster |
|---|---|
| Position | Water Management |
| Race | Human |
| History | Worked in robot creation and plumbing previously |
| Look | Their skin might look a bit like that of a crayfish… Otherwise pretty standard. |
You are responsible for the water and all the water supply in the city as you wrote and I hope that is correct.
At the present time, the water supply is stable - the aquifer of the caldera on which the city is built is enough to provide for the near future. Indeed, the greatest concern is the instability that, according to my predictions, the near future will be accompanied by the appearance of more rainwater, which could perhaps increase the amount of water available but also lead to problems in the sewage system and supply if not handled properly. I legitimately transfer full control of all water supply systems to you. I hope that you will use this wisely and for the prosperity of the city.
Aipvebp
| Name | Aipvebp - thoughtful in Flying Rainbow language. |
|---|---|
| Position | Health |
| Race | Flying Rainbow - A species of the Falcatakely family that uses feathers to create symbols and communication, and used to be most knowledgeable magicians in the Nameless World they came from before some of the Flying Randow was transported to this world. |
| History | Separated from their family as at a young age, and started apprenticeships to doctors in what was then known in the old times as the Middle East to earn pay. Eventually found helping and treating people to be their life’s calling (as Flying Rainbows do no have Male or Female pronouns), and hoping to give back the kindness given to them by Earth Society when they were young. Also wishes to learn of the magic found in this world, as it is part of Flying Rainbow Culture. |
| Look | Looks like an ancient Toucan-like bird from Earth’s Cretaceous Period, but with rainbow features and very colorful features, can hold things, and fly. |
Aipvebp! It’s great to have a respected representative from the Flying Rainbow.
I understand that you are the Minister of Health, and with experience related to medicine, there is no one more suitable for the position than you, and this is at a good time! Currently, from my official records and records, in several districts there is an increase in morbidity throughout the city, especially in areas where there are ongoing poverty reduction programs. From a military perspective, the good news is that there is no news of an increase in morbidity on the military side, but there is a slight shortage of medical personnel in both data. With your knowledge, it is more than welcome to get to the bottom of things.
Mush Room
| Name | Mush Room |
|---|---|
| Position | Agriculture and Irrigation |
| Race | Sentient Fungi - A fungi that has developed humanoid features such as thick “limbs” of Mycelium as well as spore brains |
| History | Appeared from the ground(as usual for his species) 2 years ago and has since tried to learn as much as possible to achieve his dream. |
| Look | https://terraria.wiki.gg/images/Truffle.png?97c95f is what I was thinking basically |
Mush Room! The room is literally full of mush!! It’s a bad joke, I know.
Anyway, assuming that mushrooms and agriculture go well together, you’re sure to get along great.
And if you mean getting along: there are two points that will cross your mind - the hydroponic areas are showing signs of recovery since the last viral attack that wiped out part of the yield. The traditional paddy fields are showing an increase in the amount of yield they produce thanks to the rich volcanic soil in recent years, but they need to be cleared to see that the fertility data of the area is normal.
I think it would be appropriate for you to contact the Minister of Water to make sure that there is no problem with the water passage.
On the other hand, there is a serious problem with the whole issue of animal food - we don’t have enough space to provide a supply of such food to the residents - both in terms of the number of residents and in terms of area. Right now it’s not critical in the near future, but I want to attribute this just to be on the safe side.
Crimson
| Name | Crimson |
|---|---|
| Position | Biology/Biotechnology |
| Race | Flesh horror. A siphonophore-like colonial organism. They can alter their appearance by repositioning their zooids, for example taking on a more humanoid or serpent-like appearance, they can even mimic the body structure of other species. Zooids can be specialized for different functions, and some have even figured out how to make zooids that can produce electric shocks or spray acid. They are parasitic organisms that inhabit a colossal subterranean superorganism and can eat pretty much anything organic. |
| History | Found their way out of their colossal superorganism home and was the one to make official contact between their species and the city. Desiring to bring lasting prosperity to both and to learn about the surface world as much as possible. |
| Look | Kind of resembles the monster from the horror game Carrion. A decent-sized creature comprised of deep red worm-like zooids, and prefers to configure itself in a multi-limbed serpent or vaguely Chinese dragon-like structure. |
The other ministers here don’t seem to have noticed your appearance, Mr… Miss… Them Crimson. But I suppose that’s natural when it comes to you.
Very well - I updated earlier that some of the bodies of the last wave are being autopsied but we won’t get any answers until next month. Other than that, I want him to contact the Minister of Health about the increase in morbidity in case there is a possible biological link.
Technologically, we have evidence of silicone life from the attack that occurred 3 months ago, indicating that there are other life forms that could cause problems, but at the same time, also an opportunity to see if we can try out biomimicry to see if we can incorporate the properties of these silicone life forms, which have no defined name or estimated knowledge of what category they could fit into. I suppose you might also like to see how we can define such entities.
Eris Hart
| Name | Eris Hart (familiar…) |
|---|---|
| Position | Occult and Spiritual matters |
| Race | Hastrivy: A weird vine-like plant creature that completely disguises itself as a strangely beautiful human, posessing a pale and almost porcelain-like face. No one can differentiate it from a regular human without a closer look. When exposed to the world, its vines are said to posess a strange allure, and an uncanny ability to manipulate fate in some way. No one knows the exact origins of this race or its singular identified member, but there are rumours that they are the spawn of an ancient forgotten god of luck and misfortune…. |
| History | Ever since her appearance in the city, Eris has always been admired by the various circles interested in the occult and the world of gods and spirits for her immense knowledge and expertise. After successfully leading a gathering of sorcerers in banishing a god that almost wiped out a large portion of the city, admiration for her only grew and a society of followers formed around her, which supported and aided her into gaining her minister position. |
Mr. Eris, I suppose your expertise in spiritual matters could help in this matter:
Recently, there has been evidence from a group of people in the working district and also among the minor districts of the possibility of an external influence that could be connected to a recent case of mysterious information about connecting to the above entities. I have mentioned that I do not exactly believe in an external entity that could be involved, but I suppose you would like to look into it.
In addition to that, we have a detention facility where there are interdimensional entities that according to the researchers’ documentation - ‘possibility of Divine that could possibly transfer qualities to mortals’ and I quoted. If this is true, we can try to weaponize them to increase our defense capabilities for the better! I guess I will leave the further details to you to delve into.
Kaxylopsen Cerabel
| Name | Kaxylopsen Cerabel |
|---|---|
| Position | Minds and Psyonics |
| Race | |
| History | His true origins are unknown, it is supposedly a being whose mind ascended its physical vessel, becoming a purely psyonic entity; because of this he can change physical vessels, or even just manifest as cloud of psyonic energy when not bound to a body. |
| Look |
I suppose Psyonics are beyond my programming, so I think it’s best to leave these matters to you.
As I mentioned to Eris Hart, there is evidence of external influences that can be linked to external influence in the transient and minor regions. I want you to also look into whether there is an external influence and decide for yourself whether it is worth it for us to go deeper into the brain space of those affected if and when it does exist, or find a way to block the influences.
Also, with your knowledge, I think you might be able to help investigate the whole matter of mental communication between people. It could certainly help us take advantage of situations in the event of a disruption in the electrical systems currently in military and civilian use. A backup plan wouldn’t hurt. But if you have any other ideas, I’m all ears to hear from the expert.
Buddy
| Name | Buddy |
|---|---|
| Position | Cuteness |
| Race | “Talking” Dog, specifically a labrador. |
| History | The Event brought along with it many tragedies, and among them one of the saddest may have been the almost total annihilation of dogs; the very few that remained became a commodity that only the very richest in the city could afford. So when the son of an infamous buisnessman registered his dog, Buddy, for a ministerial election he quickly gained everyone favour, a beacon of hope in the post-apocaliptic Sublimpolis, he shattered every record becoming the most voted figure ever; now no one actually wanted to put a dog in charge of something important, but to not upset the population they just invented a new position for the dog, the minister of cuteness thinking no harm would came of it. One day, however, the dog suddenly gained the ability to talk! To most this was explained as a miracle caused by the power of love, but the actual truth, known to very few, is much more simple: the buisnessman, seeing an oppurtunity to expand his power on the city, installed a small loudspeaker in the dogs collar, to make him say whatever he wants. |
| Look | White labrador, very cute. Almost the cutest dog you have ever seen. |
And I thought I’ve seen crazy things, but a talking dog? I think this is the most normal thing I’ve seen of all the consoles here. Welcome!
I’ll treat you like humans, there’s already a shortage of dogs like there used to be.
And speaking of which - we have a very serious shortage of everything cute. Literally. Most of the residents are mainly busy surviving and getting through another day without their minds and bodies succumbing to the madness that’s happening around. I hope that with your perspective, it will help to implement a plan that can increase the morale of the residents with cuteness and I believe, it can work. From the traditional cute animals - dogs, cats, parrots, weasels and fish are still found and are mainly common among human residents, but there is also the presence of sugar worms, dust bunnies and Flaffinoli (a semi-transparent minor sheep, category ‘interdimensional creature’) are mainly common among the minors.
I believe you have a lot of work to do in this area.
Drakonis Tekki
| Name | Drakonis Tekki |
|---|---|
| Position | Defense |
| Race | Sapient AI |
| History | An entity of unknown origin, he has been curled around the inner district since the city’s founding, acting as a wall around the core of the city. His metal body has resisted all attempts to pry at it, but now that his central consciousness has been awakened by D.O.O.M., he has begun to move, revealing himself to be a Sapient AI with a massive robotic form. |
| Look | Appearance: While prone to shifting, he currently appears as something similar to a an Eastern Dragon, forged from silvery and black metal with green, glowing lines across his frame. He also controls nanotechnology to an extent, and is capable of making metallic soldiers that he uses to interact with other ministers and the main populous |
I’m glad there are more AIs than me. It also means I can shift the military responsibility to you in terms of defense.
I mentioned that we got through a wave of Thralls a few moments ago with minimal damage to the wall or the military equipment the city holds.
At every point on our wall we have advanced laser guns built from alien technology scavenged in the wasteland from outside. We don’t know 100% about how this technology functions, but what is certain is that they are excellent against most types of armor. Their disadvantage is that their energy consumption is extremely high, which makes them unusable in the long term without burdening our delicate electrical system.
In addition, the army contains about 1500 Mechs that humans can operate properly. Each of them is a tedious work process to build one, but in peak conditions, we are able to build about 100 every week. Our main problem, and it’s your business, is that we currently have a shortage of inorganic resources, which shouldn’t worry you right now, but it’s for your own good.
Most of our military uses powder-based firearms or heavy cold weapons. We have a regular army with a fixed budget. Hope that’s all that’s relevant to you.
A. B. I.
| Name | A. B. I. (Abi) |
|---|---|
| Position | [BATTLE SYSTEM] |
| Race | Sapient AI |
| History | It is I, Abi. Abi was created many years ago as a hyper-intelligent war system that could be used disposably to fight (DATA MISSING). However during the chaos many chunks of data within Abi went missing, so I apologize if my details are Insufficient. Abi was created by uploading the brain of scientist ‘Dr. Moli (DATA MISSING’, he exhibits strange personality quirks such as talking in third person and erratic speech patterns. |
| Look | Abi doesn’t really look like anything due to his digital nature, although he will upload himself into various machinery. Abi’s main form is a 7 foot tall humanoid machine that has 6 tentacle -like flexible arms coming out of his shoulders. Abi can connect to large weaponry and fire with extreme accuracy, one pitfall of his design is due to him being an uploaded human and NOT a true artificial intelligence meaning he must take psychological breaks and must be stimulated. |
AI definitely stands out in this console and I’m more than happy!
I assume that what is relevant to Drakonis Tekki is also relevant to you from a military perspective.
Although, I want to internalize that we also have special teams in the holding whose purpose is to collect information from beyond the city walls. With the last wave, we managed to create a window where they can operate and collect possible information in the wilderness outside.
This team is excellent for reconnaissance, terrain analysis and monitoring the stability of elements that could threaten. But we have a shortage of manpower for a justified reason of professional risk, which is a pointer. In the last scouts, they discovered the location of a ruined city that could serve us as a source of resources that our city needs more than ever, but that’s for your holding. I would also like you to contact other ministers while we are not afraid of an approaching wave. In the event that there is evidence, you will be the first to know.
I guess now that everyone knows everyone, I can officially open the console!
In general, regarding the city and the current situation:
The number of residents in our city is divided into 2 categories - humans, the majority of the population reaches around 4.3 million people and minors - sapiens species or races, refugees who came from the ‘Madness’ and do not show any risk to the main human population, reaching 700K units.
So the population of our city is about 5 million more or less. Our doors are open to receive refugees seeking shelter from the wilderness, but you have the power to change this in a ‘democratic’ debate if you wish to raise this.
In terms of resources - apart from the resources I raised with the ministers responsible for them, there are a number of points I must touch on:
In terms of electricity generation - most of our energy comes from geothermal energy that comes deep into the caldera’s magma pocket and all the energy is transferred to the city’s residents. With the increasing number of people, we are concerned that we could enter an energy shortage. I will raise this issue here as well in a democratic debate.
In terms of building resources - most of our resources are quarried or hewn from the walls of the caldera, which are mainly basalt stones, giving our city its black color, but other materials - iron, heavy metals and coal, are a big problem. Right now we have enough in warehouses to survive, but if by chance this were to be interrupted in any way, we would only have a month before the stock runs out and it would be a very serious problem.
The amount of the working population reaches at least 97.9% working, which is an all-time high, but it also causes morale erosion if not done right.
Right now we don’t have to worry about money, it will be on me for at least the next 3 months and our budget is open to experimentation.
Speaking of 3 months:
I guess I have to predict the upcoming season that our city will go through.
And that is:
Prosperity!
Prosperity means that anything related to resources - organic and inorganic - will have a better chance of working in our favor! This is excellent news for a fledgling console, but also a risk that this confidence could mask the danger outside and catch us off guard. But at least we don’t have to fear any attack unless we have decidedly bad luck.
—
And speaking of luck:
I have three prediction cards to get things started:
-
Blue
-
Yellow
-
White
As I mentioned - I can’t say what my prediction will be for the choices you make until the end of the month [in-game], so it’s up to you to choose which card to match your choices.
You have 2 votes to make. I want to remind you that you can choose the same card multiple times for your vote, but only one card per vote.
If you want to raise an important issue regarding the things I raised, you are welcome to invite everyone to a democratic vote through me. I guess that’s all for our first console. You are welcome to discuss and decide what to do for the city. I’m here for anything
I also have a popularity meter that I will organize soon, but we will see.
Hope you make good choices that will convince people to believe in you, or to go into depression.

Vote 1, blue card: Conduct research on the silicone based life with caution
Vote 2, white card: Conduct research regarding making the walls able to self-repair, perhaps these silicone based life could help with that?
2 Likes
Was it explained yet what the card colors do?
It was explicitly stated that they would not be explained yet.
Anyway, my votes:
1, Yellow Card: Contact other ministers about potential defensive concerns within their sectors so I may know about them. Use my nanotech bodies for this, hiding my true form from the other ministers and any potential enemies by remaining still.
2, White Card: Use the nanotechnology under my command to blanket the surrounding area, inside and outside the city, providing a basic overview of threats in the area and a basic scan on available inorganic resources
Also, Doom, I would like to note that you used my characters name for Animalia’s character in addition to mine
