OK reply's all done.

damn my deers are the cause of 1.3% of deaths

Since Silpes is gone and the cult was his brainchild, I'm thinking we ought to fill in the blanks and get a slightly more concrete image of what this group is.

My idea right now would be that it's leadership is made up of a comittee, maybe 10 or 12 people, of political leaders, industrialists and bankers from the non-dominant nations of the region who want to overturn the existing order and put themselves at the top. The religious aspect is just for show and to attract "useful idiots". Like a combination of Metal Gear Solid's Philosophers organization and the Xenogear's Ethos organization. If we go this route I'll make Caetuna one of the comittee members.

I'm open to other ideas too.

all inactive nations please join the forum. We could use more activity.

I know someone who's a writer and a couple friends in a D&D group, I'll see if I can get them interested in this.

Excellent. Once the Hades storyline concludes I intend to do the Royal Wedding obviously set a few months later

I also want to float this out, how do people feel about a short time skip after Hades hits, where tech level is like what we see in the cyber punk genre due to a new element on Hades allowing for computers to jump a generation or two.

I’m not opposed to the idea however I’m not very familiar with the genre.

I have hinted before at a somewhat more advanced society than ours with the passing references to overhead vehicles in the capital.

reply done. I was envisioning Katakura coming back to base with Ryan's team first. I do want to have the Empress meet Katakura. if she is going to Orience perhaps that happens after or would you like to do it before she leaves for the country.

I also plan to have Ryan and possibly his team meet with her too.

We can do that, Katakura can go with Ryan while the rest of her team and who ever from Acamos finish interrogating the cultists and prep for infiltrating Orience.

We can go with that. I wasn’t expecting anyone from Ryan’s team to go to Orience but i can make it work or am I misunderstanding you?

I meant interrogating the two surviving cultists at the Acamos base. But if you want to make a joint operation out of it, I'm fine with that too.

Long game, I plan to have the two surviving black ops guys make it back to Orience to try to find out what the deal was with that boarder operation just to have Caetuna try to kill them for knowing too much, and they go on the run and eventually encounter an anti government/cult movement at the same time as Henri and Claude, and Katakura and her people do. I'll have them sabotage a planned Orience attack on the Spaceport the day before launch.

I’d think I’d rather go with the two cultist being interrogated at the base and have Ryan and Felix join in. I don’t think Ryan would have any interest in going to Orience.

Before Katakura leaves I was thinking of having Ryan, Felix and the rest of Ryan’s team meet with the Empress along with Katakura.

After the interrogation is done a representative of Her Majesty arrives and says their presence at the Imperial Palace is requested.

oh god i just bought back dinosaurs 💀

You know... we were talking about bringing the region to a tech level seen in cyberpunk media... genetically engineering dinosaurs wouldn't be outside possibility with that tech level.

reply done. I was thinking after Katakura questions Sutlar a bit Ryan and Felix gets involved again as it takes a bit for him to finally talk.

We can do that. I'll set it up so Katakura tries to be nice at first but then starts hinting towards violence, and Ryan and Felix step in.

At the end we have the whole thing as a scripted good cop/bad cop thing they planned ahead of time.

I like it.

Plus I was thinking of having Ryan's voice be more baritone and it was all along. We could retcon it. If your familiar with the actor Luke MacFarlane im thinking his voice sounds similar to that. I never really specified the specifics of his voice.
