Well, I am using Chrome without problems so I think the problem is on your end Gregg. Maybe you miss an update or something. Worst case, just use firefox.

I just updated Chrome, and it was working fine yesterday. It's just that the console itself won't load, and it's only on SV, while working fine on SB, and only on Chrome. It's an incredibly annoying, and also very specific problem.

I've always wished there was more Gaia in this quest, and now there's finally a chance to get more Gaia!

One more primordial in the mix, delicious.

Gaia's the youngest Primordial. The only one who was never diminished. The gods in Yu-Shan are even more terrified of her than they are of Autochthon. Even Luna's a bit scared of Gaia, and Luna was literally made for Gaia.

Tidbit: The Kukla is named after an even more powerful being, an apocalypse god who Theion ordered imprisoned long before the Unconquered Sun was created. If you think letting the elemental Kukla out is bad, letting the god Kukla out is really, REALLY Bad. Sol's Titan-Unleashing Clarion can be used to call forth either Kukla, if he deems fit.

Because even if Ebeli achieved her Motivation of studying the Devas of a Free Primordial, more information is always good! Plus, we must get closer to completing the Trifecta! There's only that other one random Primordial out in the Wyld after Gaea right?

-[x] Send an Infallible Messenger to our Bright Star and have him sent a prayer to UC so he can get Gaeia to work on the Kukla.
 
[X]Pray to the Bureau of Seasons about the situation and see if they can send reinforcements or blessings, or possibly the location of the Kukla.

Glories: Unconquered Sun, page 12. Here:

Article:
Titan-Unleashing Clarion: Conviction: This Charm is one of the spoils inherited from the Unconquered Sun's victory in the Primordial War. Taking a reflexive action to raise his horn to his lips and blast a world-cracking note of judgment (which costs only one mote), the Unconquered Sun sunders the demon realm and summons any jouten of a Yozi to appear before him. This Charm can also summon the Kukla or any other Greater Elemental Dragon, as well as horrors imprisoned beneath or beyond Creation since prehistory such as the legendary apocalypse god after whom the first Greater Elemental Dragon was named. Beings summoned by the Charm accept and obey any singular task the god gives to them like a successfully bound demon would, after which they return to their prison. Unlike a demon, however, such creatures cannot be told how to do a task, only what must be done. They apply their own horrid precepts to the challenge and are free to do so in any way that satisfies the letter of the command. The obvious inherent dangers have kept the Unconquered Sun from deploying this Charm in recorded history. Yet, should any of the titans unleash wrath such as the Three Spheres Cataclysm upon Creation again, the Highest of Holies will not hesitate to draw the offender into the path of the attack.

That might be related to the 'Apocalypse Jouten' mentioned in Gunstar Autochthonia.

Implying we don't already have her attention to an extent, what with Luna and all.

- [X] Also get on the line with the Incarnae. This is the kind of existential threat Sol was made to defend against, the Maidens could help keep any of the Void cancer Hunhow's throwing around from metastasizing into the Loom of Fate (or at least lock the Kukla down by trapping it in a closed loop of ocean or otherwise abusing their admin access to the Loom) and Luna can work out what the Minister of Revelation is playing at here and thwart it.

The risk here is that Gaia's actual personality traits are rather nebulous in canon Exalted (as far as I'm aware): there's no real list of her Third Circle souls or Gaian Excellency description to give us a picture of her Intimacies and way of handling things. Would she be happy to see Autochthon return? Does she feel gratitude to him for letting her and Luna be together, or is she unable to forgive him for unleashing the Exalted upon Creation and leaving their siblings crippled or dead?

My main reason for choosing to bring her in on this is that we've kind of reached the Godzilla Threshold: an entire Direction is at stake if we can't shut this down. Best-case, some or all of the West becomes an empty expanse of microbe-rich ocean while Hunhow and his thralls head off to fuck things up elsewhere. Worst-case, Hunhow infects the Kukla with Void corruption, said contamination spreads to anything the Void-Kukla passes over, and up to a quarter of Creation ends up corrupted beyond salvaging and starts killing the rest of Creation like necrotising fasciitis spreading up a necrotic limb.

Hence why I'm also voting to phone up Sol Invictus and co, because to be dead honest this is a situation where we need to maximize the amount of force being brought to bear on the problem - and also it means we can delegate one of our Circlemates to go find the Eye with Autochthon, because I really don't want to risk Hunhow having unleashed the Kukla as a distraction so he can grab a chunk of our Autochthon's anatomy and start screwing with it.
 
In canon, we know very little about Gaia. She has a reciprocated Intimacy of Love towards Luna, likely embodied in a Third Circle. The Five Elemental Dragons that regulate the Poles are some of Gaia's Third Circles, and Pasiap is not her fetich. Her Pangea jouten, all her other jouten except the Emerald Mother, and the vast majority of her devas (known as kami) haven't been seen since shortly after the end of the Primordial War, when she decided to leave Creation aboard Gnosis in search of the Shining Answer. Every single god in Yu-Shan who remembers the War is even more afraid of her than Autochthon, because she was never diminished.

All else is speculation.

While my idea was more 'He wakes up Kukla and Kukla shatters Creation', I may amend that idea to 'he first infects Kukla with the Void Cancer' because that would be even better. Because that's the sort of disaster you could see through your eyelids.
