Re: Corco's Villa (IC)
Vassarious takes the Maximus form for inspection and will see if the mental connection is there with Kunifax while they are both here, or if they can sense splinter-Maximus. It may be valuable to experiment and see if he can alter the template enough to minimize the danger of Vassarious being manipulated and find a way to use the link to their advantage.
They discuss the potential plan of holo-Maximus sending out some visions to try and coordinate some action from the resistance, then followed by a big broadcast to signal the actions at the time they plan for the penetration of the temple. Vassarious double-checks with Kunnifax for the "Check-in" process and if there is any specific procedure with the solder at the guardpost, and if it would be questioned if he brought back a soldier or prisoner with him. Does Vassarious' burner phone get a signal down here? I'd like to be able to further coordinate with holo-Maximus once I've had the chance to talk to Halcyone. I'm tempted to leave the pen communicator if there isn't another option... |

Altering the template to stop the manipulation isn't terribly hard, but it also makes accessing the powers of the network correspondingly harder. (you can add penalties to control in exchange for taking penalties to access). Quote:

"Does that sound viable to you?" Vassarious takes one more good look at the data they have collected and cross-references it in their mind thinking of these new factors and magics, and considers how they might refine the plan, and if there is something else they should be asking about before departing.

In the afternoon, Halcyone escorts a CEO to a healing temple inside the main complex, and then has a bunch of down time while the healing takes place. Halcyone is able to get some time to access the priestly records from his pad. Quote:

How to get the resistance to go along with your plan is the big one I can think of.

Guide them to favor 'chaos over kill' tactics to minimize both their own and enemy losses.. they may all be united soon. If you are concerned for your safety here, reserve some of your messages to request guardians for the tomb as well." |

The route between the tunnel and the stones... You've got to get past a few walkers among the tombs, stay out of sight of a few guards on the walls, and evade a couple of gaurds responsible for the whole of the tomb itself... those guards at the tomb should be easy enough to invade, because there aren't enough to cover all of the entrances. The emperor himself will likely stay close to the tomb, because its the center of his power. He's not physically stronger than an immortal, but he can impede you with holograms and coordinate troops. And he's as strong as any other immortal. Quote:

It's the priest's pad. 50 years is a long time ago, especially as careers are concerned. Halcyone notices a pattern: most of the priests fitting the description are in the high priesthood now, or did very well for themselves before retiring. The current high priest of architecture (the one Vassarious bugged) is one of these individuals. He was just starting as an architecture priest 50 years ago. The absolute High Priest was a janitor of the emperor's tomb at that point in time. There are a few retired priests still alive as well.
