Projects The Phoenix Project I am working with the Remnants on this. Hopefully they haven't forgotten about it. The attached PMs cover it in detail but here is what I'm inputting this turn.

Investment 1. Use the +++ loyalty to encourage my dwarves, who should have an easier time blending in with humans than a lot of supernaturals, to like the humans more and want to help them. And then start running youth and aid organizations in Toronto and Ottawa to help the lower class and increase the prosperity of the two cities.

2. Use ++ wealth to begin funding the new organizations to help the poor especially youth organizations.

3. Use my ++ influence to look for suitable candidates among the human politicians. I kind of hope the Remnants help with this since they have higher subtlety and influence than me. Looking for one who is honest, idealistic, and has a lot of integrity. If we find a suitable candidate we will try and swear them to secrecy and then basically tell them who we are, and what we want to do. Which is encourage Canada to prosper so that they will become more open and in time be willing to accept the presence of the supernatural.

Goals 1. Hoping for an increase in strength from transformed youths willing to help me, which should also result in some loyalty due to the Dragon Blood trait.

2. Also increased influence from backing our political candidate and also helping make our organization look more humanitarian. Of course I'm not really expecting results for a while, but hopefully long term we'll also see a wealth bonus as the areas prosperity increases. Mascul Cartel

Iormungad himself comes down to continue negotiations with the Mascul Cartel. "Your operation sounds promising. However you caught us at a bad time. We have only [++++ wealth] and [++ strength] to aid you in expanding your operations into Buenos Aires. (I'm hoping the way I'm casually discussing quantities that are equal to most of their stats will impress them.) We will aid you and perhaps next quarter we will be able to send more." "In return however we want a piece of the pie. At least 40% of what the profits you earn in Buenos Aires, as well your cartel's aid in expanding our branches into Chile and once Buenos Aires is under control Argentina. (I'm willing to bargain down to 30% for a correspondingly larger share of Santiago, which is basically what I'm asking. To help them take control of Buenos Aires and in return I get a share of control in both Santiago and Buenos Aires.) Now I'm not entirely certain whether the mascul is made up of mortals or not. So this next bit will have two sections. If they are mortals:

"In addition to our other aid Hyperion has secured access to an experimental military drug, don't ask us how, called DB. It makes you stronger, faster, tougher. I'm sure an organization such as yourself could find a use for it in this plan." If they aren't mortal, or have a good grasp of the supernatural, hopefully I can tell if they do.

"In addition to our other aid Hyperion can supply you with Dragon's Blood. I'm sure you've heard the myths. They're all true ingesting the blood of dragons makes you stronger, faster, and tougher, and better able to use magic. And unlike other people who might try and sell you Dragon's Blood we can guarantee that it is both pure and real." Iormungand smiles as he says this last line.

Investments 1. ++ strength to actually help the Mascul muscle in on Buenos Aires

2. ++++ wealth to both fund the Mascul and set up new branches of Hyperion in Santiago, and possibly Buenos Aires if it becomes safe and I have anything left. Both Chile and Argentina have extensive mineral resources, and Chile in particular encourages foreign investment, so I should be able to get some profitable business going fairly easily.

3. Iormungand will be setting up the businesses and if necessary providing extra muscle.

4. I'm hoping that they'll accept the Dragon's Blood and the loyalty bonus from it will make merging with them easier.

5. Also Dwarven Ingenuity should help me wring profit out of this even if I don't have the resources to expand very much once everything I use to actually help the Mascul is taken out.

Goals 1. Wealth obviously from exploiting South American mineral reserves with my expert dwarven miners, and from getting a cut of the Mascul profits.

2. Influence with the Mascul. Angling for a merger with them eventually, and maybe getting their leader as a VIP.

Actions

Strength: ++++ 1. Send ++ to help the TLDT-TS. They should be using ++ influence to help me in return. If not the deal is of course off. The dwarves will also have instructions to pay attention to things so that when they come back they can tell me what the TLDT-TS needed them for.

2. Use ++ to help the Mascul Cartel.

Subtlety: + 1. Used to scout out Santiago and aid the Mascul in their Buenos Aires operations.

Wealth: +++++ + 1. Use ++ to fund Project Phoenix.

2. ++++ is used to concert with the Mascul Cartel.

Knowledge: ++++ 1. +++ Used to help the rest of the alliance research mental wards.

2. + begins working out the feasibility of rune casters. I'd like costs for single rooms, and for conference calls if possible, as well as actually starting work on a single room under my base in Toronto

Loyalty: +++ 1. +++ used for project Phoenix.

Influence: ++ (++ from the TLDT-TS) 1. ++ used for project Phoenix

2. The ++ influence from the TLDT-TS will be used to expand my presence in Kinshasa. I'm not really looking to expand here, but the OSA never paid my price to leave entirely so I want to maintain a toehold. Hopefully if OSA decides to expand here and is looking to stop me they'll be expecting an influx of wealth or strength, and not be prepared for influence from another faction entirely.

VIPS 1. Iormungand will be helping the Mascul

2. Chief Glasock set up the conference with the American powers

3. Councilor Hrimes investigated Kinshasa and will be directing the influence bought from the TLDT-TS to most effectively set up a small branch office and being mining operations.

Traits 1. Dragon Blood - Hopefully aid me with the Mascul

2. Dwarven Ingenuity - Hopefully aid me in two things. Leveraging my wealth to most effectively invest in Santiago. I'm also hoping it will help me to wring a little bit of wealth out of Kinshasa.

3. Gold is Life - Since this is negative I really hope it doesn't come into play. Obviously all my dwarves and Iormungand will be trying their best to gain wealth without spending any capital assets, (I.E. losing wealth)
