After the module....
Follow on mission...... After securing a cooperative (helpful?) Damocles.
Damocles drops this bombshell.
His Helium3 is nearly spent. In fact the original tank of Deuterium is gone and he is on the reserve tank of He3. Which is at 10%.......
Damocles needs either or faces a shutdown reactor in 18 -24 months.
A fusion power block buys time but, at reduced capacity. The fusion power block will not power the facility on the mainframe that is Damocles himself for 12 months.
Damocles needs either Deuterium in large quantities, He3 in a large quantity or both.
Damocles is querying his data banks for a solution. The Morrow Project team presents a capability that Damocles lacked..... The ability to travel outside the facility at great distance.
Damocles is asking (rather nicely in fact) for the Recon Team G-9 to mount a mission to K.I. Sawyer Air Force Base and Naval Station Great Lakes.
He needs the Recon Team to reconnect him to the Defense Network at those locations. Damocles cannot "see" the current state of the massive complex of "Igloos", the storage bunkers containing weapons, munitions, and critical spare parts.
Damocles will then need the Team to collect parts and bring them back to the facility. There Damocles intends to construct a processing facility to make deuterium on site.
Follow on for "Operation Lucifer"......
Recon G-5 and George Watkins of Science Team (unknown).
Damocles presents a solution to a 3 ton Soviet SS-17.. Bring him the plutonium...... Damocles does not need the rest of the carcass, though the inner casing does protect from radiation... assuming the Team or George Watkins can strip it down it may still be quite heavy say 500 to 800lbs.
This plutonium will assist Damocles in manufacturing a breeder reactor to make Helium 3 onsite for fusion power plants.
Damocles may make additional requests or may offer assistance in other ways..... Such as sending locals to assist Recon G-5 with bring the plutonium back.
Damocles will convert civilian vehicles to operate on methanol. The locals bring him parts and materials and Damocles can use his maintenance drones to make the conversion. Whether that is several snow mobiles and a sledge in winter or a large agricultural tractor with a freight wagon.
Good Luck!
