noun
noun: requisition; plural noun: requisitions
1.
an official order laying claim to the use of property or materials.

Greetings. Knights!

The discovery of new elevator shafts located west of Haven has prompted Spiral HQ to begin a campaign to capture several Battlepod storage areas located on Tiers 1, 2, and 3 for use as transit bases for expeditions into the Clockworks. The storage areas possess energy conduits designed to service inactive Battlepods running under the flooring, making the areas valuable as gear recharging stations for parties descending into the Clockworks. Intel from Emberlight gremlins indicate the storage areas may also be the testing ground for a prototype Crimson Order weapon, so watch out for anything that tries to crush/blast/shoot/slice you into oblivion, which I suppose isn't really helpful. Good luck!

(~return to exposition~)

Operation Requisition is a minigame available to guilds who have purchased the 2F Expansion War Room. The Operation can be played as tiers 1, 2, and 3, with damage, monsters, and supporting turrets being scaled accordingly. Tier 1 OpR costs 8,000 crowns to unlock, Tier 2 OpR costs 16,000 crowns to unlock, and Tier 3 OpR costs 50,000 crowns to unlock. Once Operation Requisition is purchased, guild members can access OpR by going to the War Room (the room in the center of the guild hall with the twin banks of computers), right clicking a computer, and clicking "Enter Operation".

Each Operation Requisition staging ground consists of a large, open floor similar to the last level of Shroud of the Apocrea, except with a Clockwork Tunnels theme. In the center of the floor is the Spiral Power Core. A respawning Mecha Turret is located at each corner of the Power Core.
If the Power Core is destroyed by monsters, your guild looses any progress it made on the operation, however the guild does not have to purchase the operation again.

Interspaced randomly throughout the OpR floor are Battlepods with a randomly chosen holographic monster family symbol hovering above them. Each Battlepod has four nearby spawners that spawn monsters corresponding with the monster family symbol above the battlepod, as well as four monster turrets providing defense (Gun Puppies for Gremlin and Construct, Howlitzers for Fiend and Undead, Polyps for Jelly and Beast). Each Battlepod can support a maximum of 10 monsters excluding the turrets. If a monster is defeated, a new one will spawn in 7 seconds. OpR monsters don't drop Heat, Crowns, or loot. (You'll see why in a bit.)
Only one monster from each battlepod will spawn if no knights are currently active in the OpR, 5 monsters will spawn if 3 knights are loaded into the OpR and 10 monsters from each battlepod will spawn if 5 or more knights are loaded in to the OpR. Each OpR only has one instance, so only a limited number of knights can participate at one time. (Different OpR tiers have different instances, and nothing is shared between the tiers except for Operation Tokens.)

If a Battlepod is destroyed by Spiral Knights or spawned friendly Mecha Knights, a Lockdown point marker with a holographic symbol of the Spiral Order floating above it replaces the battlepod, and the guild gains five Operation Tokens. However, after a five-minute shield, monsters from the nearby intact battlepods will seek out the point marker and attempt to destroy it, ignoring defenses and nearby knights unless attacked by the Knights or the defenses.
Health of the point markers is scaled to tier.
In the event of a point marker being destroyed, a Battlepod that spawns monsters from a randomly chosen family will appear in its place and two Operation Tokens are lost. Any defenses or boosters that the point marker is powering are also destroyed. Monsters who participated in the destruction of the point marker will return to their respective battlepods after the marker is destroyed. Monsters can only detect point markers inside of their aggro range (identical to the ranges currently in use).

Every point marker in a Tier 3 OpR deposits 500 crowns into your guild treasury per week as well as 5 units of energy to the guild energy wells (if applicable). There are a maximum of 25 Battlepods to destroy in the entire floor of each OpR.
Every Tier 2 point marker deposits 150 crowns into your guild treasury every week.
Every Tier 1 point marker deposits 75 crowns into your guild treasury every week.

Operation Tokens can be used to purchase defenses and amplifiers for your guild's point markers and Power core from Bulwark, a Stranger merchant who resides in the upper left corner of the War Room. Each point marker can only power defenses and amplifierswithin a 15-tile by 15-tile range.
Each defense and amplifier takes up 1 tile of space.

Defenses and amplifiers:

Mecha Turret. The standard laser turret that appears in certain missions, or in the Jelly Farms where they can be activated for energy. (These ones are free to use once you purchase them.) Damage and health is scaled according to tier. Not much to say here.
Cost: 10 Operation Tokens.

Mecha Knight Constructor: Builds 1 friendly Mecha Knight every 20 seconds and can support a maximum of 5 mecha knights. Health and damage of the Mecha Knights and the constructor is scaled according to tier. These Mecha Knights are allied versions of the hostile Tier 1,2, and 3 Mecha Knights instead of the incompetent knockoffs currently in use. (Should apply to the pickups too, really.)
Cost: 15 Operation Tokens.

Death from Above: Summons down a rocket strike on any monsters that get within range. Health and damage scale according to tier.
Cost: 30 Operation Tokens.

Autogun Turret: A version of the Mecha Turret with less damage per shot and range, but a greater rate of fire. Painted in Spiral Order colors and fires cyan rounds instead of yellow ones.
Cost: 10 Operation Tokens.

Mining Drone: Each drone adds 25 crowns to the weekly crown bonus of the point it is placed at. Mining Drones only function if they are within a 10 tile by 10 tile radius of a point marker.
Cost: 10 Operation Tokens

Energy Amplifier: Each amplifier adds 1 extra unit of energy to the guild energy wells (if applicable) every week. Energy Amplifiers only function if they are within a 10-tile by 10 tile radius of a point marker.
Cost: 15 Operation Tokens

As there is only a limited amount of space around each point marker to place down defenses and amplifiers, a balance between the two would be ideal.
For instance, a point with only amplifiers will get rekt almost immediately by monsters with no Knights to protect it, while a point with only defenses only generates a small amount of resources each week.
