Questions:
2. For the vote on what to do with Xiǎobāo, had we chosen to give him to Marianne, would it still be possible to learn of New Heaven's secret victory condition from him? I'm assuming the answer is no, because Marianne would be the one deciding how to handle him?
3. Does Kallen still carry emotional baggage from the time Lelouch flipped her expectations, by not choosing her as Knight of Honor? Is there a Character Arc or Social Action we can pursue to address it on-screen, because it hasn't come up as a Kallen-SL option in Phase 1, and I'm wondering if Kallen's gotten over it.
innocent Euphie.
Lelouch is getting so much press, supported by the vi Britannia's popularity amongst the masses, and such scandalous gossip, that Guinevere can't suppress it despite owning multiple media outlets:
Also, while I do support siring a child with Sayoko, I dread the AP Drain required to properly support and nurture the kid (and give Euphie proof). After all, we still need to look for a handler for Xiǎobāo, and now Lelouch is becoming a father. I don't envy Lelouch's sleep schedule and workload for the next few turns.
While it was a surprise, everything worked out fine and Lelouch is already thinking of playing a joke on Gino ("I will, however, reserve the right to allow him to believe otherwise for a little while longer.)
Make no mistake, the root cause of this situation began with Euphemia (last turn's busy schedule, change in lifestyle, etc) so our lack of screentime with Gino shouldn't have come into play, and we took Euphie's SL action this turn which thankfully resolved things.

Word Choice: Had a weird time parsing this sentence. Why is it "whittled down to"?
Shouldn't it be "have been whittled down as the remaining possibilities for the father"?
Questions:
1. This result has already played out and is a really minor nitpick, but I just wanted to confirm if this was an oversight. Since this roll was for Diplo, the +5 Personal Diplomacy bonus from Kaguya should have applied, right?
2. For the vote on what to do with Xiǎobāo, had we chosen to give him to Marianne, would it still be possible to learn of New Heaven's secret victory condition from him? I'm assuming the answer is no, because Marianne would be the one deciding how to handle him?
3. Does Kallen still carry emotional baggage from the time Lelouch flipped her expectations, by not choosing her as Knight of Honor? Is there a Character Arc or Social Action we can pursue to address it on-screen, because it hasn't come up as a Kallen-SL option in Phase 1, and I'm wondering if Kallen's gotten over it.
I'm expecting Guinevere to be absolutely livid with Lelouch's antics lol. Think about it, Guinevere prides herself on being THE trendsetter, the "chief influencer of Brittania's cultural zeitgeist," and our Romantic Tour is getting so much attention that Guinevere is forced to drag her newborn child on a tour around the country to compete with us. We're forcing The First Princess to scrap her agenda just to react and keep up with the headlines we're generating, courtesy of sweet
Lelouch is getting so much press, supported by the vi Britannia's popularity amongst the masses, and such scandalous gossip, that Guinevere can't suppress it despite owning multiple media outlets:
She got aggravated by a temporary upstaging last year, not to mention our continued streak of popularity this Year. Suffice to say, we've no doubt earned Guinevere's hatred and/or rivalry by now; we've now upstaged her twice and she probably thinks of Lelouch as an upstart commoner who doesn't know his place - just like his mother, it's hilarious.
Also, while I do support siring a child with Sayoko, I dread the AP Drain required to properly support and nurture the kid (and give Euphie proof). After all, we still need to look for a handler for Xiǎobāo, and now Lelouch is becoming a father. I don't envy Lelouch's sleep schedule and workload for the next few turns.
We hired 3 Types of Mercenaries from Duke Stadtfeld last turn and will likely plan to begin Invasions with their help on the weaker Pirate bases either this year or the next, perhaps once we've taken an action to build up our currently meager conventional Ground forces, since we focused heavily on elite KMF squadrons.
No, the current situation is fine as is, it's stated right there in the results: "Reveal Euphemia & Gino's Relationship without Negative Consequence,"
While it was a surprise, everything worked out fine and Lelouch is already thinking of playing a joke on Gino ("I will, however, reserve the right to allow him to believe otherwise for a little while longer.)
Make no mistake, the root cause of this situation began with Euphemia (last turn's busy schedule, change in lifestyle, etc) so our lack of screentime with Gino shouldn't have come into play, and we took Euphie's SL action this turn which thankfully resolved things.

I mean, if Gino's part in things did fully go to the tabloids, at this point nobody would care past "DO THE PRINCE'S CONQUESTS KNOW NO BOUNDS??". As far as the public was concerned Gino would just become one more piece of the harem and maybe a few yaoi fangirls would spontaneously combust after creating sounds that should only come out of bats.
I would like to see Gino sneak into the facility through a third story window only to have us sitting there with a glass of wine. We could mess with his head so damn much.

...thank you? So much? I can't wait to go through and correct that extensive list of typos.
I'm sure it will be... fun.
1) I erred on the side of not applying it given that Lelouch couldn't personally go and meet with the garrison commanders and, instead, had to have him summoned. It was discourteous and he got away with it through a high roll which meant the man was already on the way and Lelouch used the urgency of the situation to seize control of things. I almost made that roll a Martial instead, but it was really fringe in any case.
2) I'll take a pass on answering this, since the exact details of secret victory conditions are a little up in the air, only the broad strokes have been sketched out due to chaos dice. The answer would ultimately rely on subsequent choices Lelouch made.
3) Lelouch does not know the details, but his understanding of the matter would be that Kallen's feelings in regards to his KoH pick are complicated. As far as your question on actions/character arcs go...
As always, the best option is usually to ask.
I think I'm going to call the vote soonish, after I eat and get a few chores done. So... three hours on the clock?
It's a pretty clear mandate:

@Slayer Anderson would Kaguya's reroll and bonuses to personal diplo actions apply to any rolls required to get her to accept us spying on Japan? I would like to know before I vote on the subject.

The roll is a personal action roll, not a diplomacy roll, so that bonus wouldn't apply. Neither would the reroll given that it is, again, a personal action and not a diplomacy roll.
Nunnally's emergency reroll would apply, though, if the roll fails remarkably.

...don't know whether to be annoyed you managed an on-the-dot crit or relieved the exploding roll isn't higher.
Why not both, then? Both, yes, that's good.

Thanks for the answers. Was unsure whether the Kallen+Jeanne shared SL action would've also covered the KoH baggage as well, so I asked a semi-rhetorical question to confirm there.
As for possible choices, does that imply giving Xiaobao to Marianne still allowed for a degree of control/updates from his progress? I was assuming handing him to Marianne meant Lelouch was taking Xiaobao off his plate and not pursuing any leads with him?
I'm asking to see if we passed over Marianne as a possible Handler option for Xiaobao, assuming we lost access to him if we didn't keep him on base.

It would depend on subsequent choices and factors Lelouch doesn't know about. He would have some say in matters, or believes he would, but beyond that I can't say.

Kaguya being even slightly willing to work with us instead of starting to subvert everything in a range of greatly-somewhat hostile manner was a DC100 roll, wasn't it? I continue to be increasingly amazed how we keep this house of cards from collapsing when thinking about our choices.
Anyway, at least Jaeger will be ecstatic and ranting about how he was right all along. That sweet satisfaction of being vindicated in your research after being dismissed by everyone and then hunted around the world by a secretive conspiracy (that you now also get a pretty solid proof about)? That must feel pretty damn good.
If we had rolled higher would it have caused the birth of the Black Knights in this setting? We were so close to seeing Lelouch go into extreme charisma mode.
With the base DC being 50 I think we easily managed to get our advisors on board with this result. And as no omake bonuses were applied then the modifiers from our Kaguya and Kallen choices either caused a DC increase over 130 or we managed to get them on board. If we got lucky then it should really help us going forward. Having our entire inner court on the same page and not scratching their heads and wondering what our actions are for will be helpful. Even if it just means they can give advice from their own unique perspective.
I wonder what ideas Milly will have for Stewardship actions now that she knows our goals and the importance of space. She was looking for an interesting project for herself after all. And I'm starting to feel sorry for Hashima as Jeager will start pestering her to get to the moon ASAP. The dreaded water spray bottle might need an upgrade. Maybe dual weilding it together with a rolled up newspaper. At least I doubt he will now see our space program as a distraction from his own projects.
Either way the rolls were generous for us this Personal turn.
I just realized something. Will this briefing count as the dreaded anime recap episode?

Theoretically yes but: 1. Cornelia would probably be too busy freaking out about becoming an aunt and probably pressuring Gino into marriage with Euphie to beat him to a pulp 2. Euphie didn't get pregnant so what Cornelia would do to Gino is purely academical.Euphie giving birth count as both?
