Stat Cap: 37/39 Traits: Vaults of Flesh, Bloody Business, The City Must Be Fed, Expanded Tunnels, Assault Tunnelers, Commerce House, Sav Altulas Metro, Tunnel Diggers Actions:

MIL: 15 1. Everything will be patrolling the Gilded District and putting things in order for the security net. Making sure all my guild members, Ansigaris, and former Ambassadorial Guard are vetted and put into the network. I'm hoping this will also help counter any efforts made against me this turn since everyone is being cross checked and it should be harder to get agents into position.

WEL: 13 1. 4 goes into upgrading the Commerce House infrastructure so the SGA can have its own stats. 2. 1 goes to the Mercantile Guild to pay for letting me read messages with their espionage. 2. 8 goes digging out some more vaults under Dovel with the help of the tunneler beasts. If there is any extra then I would like it if it could be used to buy equipment for the security grid.

ESP: 4 1. 3 goes into counter espionage activities to prevent more infiltrators from getting into my territories. Hopefully a few other members of the SGA will be helping here. 2. The other 1 will investigate the riots with any Champions of Sovereignty agents who show up. If they don't show up then it will simply aim to look like its investigating, but in fact be guarding its own safety. I'm kind of worried about what might happen to 1 esp all by itself in hostile territory.

MAG: 7 (+1) 1. 7 will go into the Security Network. I will explain my plan more fully below. 2.Help research the wards in Desoui's chamber.

MOR: 7 1. Everything goes towards convincing my people, and the other non guild affiliated residents of Gilded of the benefits of this network and why they should be part of the network.

Rep: 0 1. This is basically just checking that the riots didn't affect my reputation anywhere but in Pepperstoch.

Inf: 2 1. Using my influence on the people of Gilded to the same purpose as morale. We've only done good things for Gilded, and this is a good thing too.

VIP: Urso Bloodhand Ok so here is the plan for the magical network. It's going to be like what I proposed before for the whole city, but on a smaller scale. A runic grid will be inscribed on the underside of Gilded. This will be the basis of the system. It will be charged with a spell which will actively tag anyone who enters the area of the grid. This spell will seek two things. Sausages and association with the Sausage Guild. This means that anyone eats sausage guild sausages in the city should be tagged with part of the spell.

The neat part of the spell however is the other part, association with the sausage Guild. The more closely associated and loyal to the Sausage Guild a person is the stronger a tag will be applied to them, simply because the spell has a better connection with them. So loyal members of the guild should be tagged by both aspects of the spell and have bright tags. Citizens of Gilded are fairly heavily associated with the Guild at this point, but they aren't actually part of it. So they'll get lesser tags. Members of the SGA are kind of associated with the Sausage Guild, but not as closely even as that, so they'll get weaker tags. Everyone else in the city who eats Sausage Guild sausage will only recieve that half of the spell. Guild officers and Guards will be issued Guild Seals which will imbue them with the ability to see these tags and immediately classify people into different levels of trust. Hopefully I will eventually be able to embed these seals into individuals so there isn't the possibility of them getting stolen but that's for later. Not only will they be able to see the level of the tag, but since it's magic it should show up through most walls and such. So people should have a much harder time hiding from my guards.

Now if this works the only people who won't be tagged will be vegetarians who aren't associated with the guild. But I doubt there are many of those working against the guild.

Now none of this has mentioned Bloodhand. He's the second part of the spell. The first part is the sausages and for that I will use a section of leviathan as a focus. But loyalty to the guild requires some kind of guild symbol. And Bloodhand is basically the core of the Sausage Guild. He represents it completely. So by using him and his connection to the sausage guild as a focus the spell should have something to focus on and target in other people.

I'm kind of hoping that this will also tie Bloodhand into the grid and boost him. Basically allowing him to sense everything that goes on in the Gilded District through his connection to the network as a kind of sixth sense, but that's a side objective.

Also when I am encouraging people to register for the sensor grid I mean that I would like them to donate sample they are closely connected with to better help the grid identify them. Blood would be best of course, but I only ask Sausage Guild workers for that. Otherwise maybe a mug they use often or a pen or something. Something small and not very valuable that they're will to send in, but which is something they use often. And all my men should be very polite and not force anyone to give something if they don't want to. This is strictly voluntary.

Also hopefully the Conductor will be lending his expertise to this. I should note that if he asks the Sausage Guild connection is both a test and a goal. If this works I should be able to use other things as a focus as well extending the grids tracking capabilities to areas he is interested in. Hopefully this will motivate him to provide focuses for other things.

Other members of the SGA may be helping as well. If they don't give their own instructions focus their efforts on creating a secondary grid connected to the Commerce Hall, hopefully it will build off of the work we did last turn securing it.

Misc. I expect the Blackfist to send me 1 mil as compensation for the attack. If they don't my mil should switch to guarding against another attack full time. If they do send a mil then I have special instructions for it. Basically I think fully trusting a high espionage hostile faction to just send a gift with no strings attached is kind of foolish. It might be real, but it might also be a Trojan Horse. So if they send it I want the people they sent isolated from the rest of the guild, and then donated directly to the Daimont University as guards as quickly and with as little contact with the sausage guild as possible. If the mil is trustworthy then great I just got some more influence on the University Board. If it's not then at least I'm not the one who has to deal with it.

Nothing is to be routed into the Fat Tippest Metro and the station should be closed off due to concerns over potential hostilities.
