- Is it safe to try channeling or overchanneling other colors?
Need to get this one out of the way quickly, since it affects our training schedule. (Channeling may speed up skill acquisition for its respective color.)
While channeling
White would be nice, we don't have anything useful to train with
Black and
Green. Besides, we're at 0
Green motes.
-> low priority, ask later
Advice for handling Indira? During the Jewel Seed incident specifically? How should we respond to Indira's desire to be acknowledged as a proper Agni? Any major hot-button topics to avoid? Should we try interacting with her regularly, with the aim of shifting her alignment?
The most important concern overall. How we initially interact with Indira will set the tone for the relationship, and has the potential to affect the lives of hundreds of billions on the MGLN plane. We need to know whether it's possible to keep Indira from stirring up trouble, or if conflict between us is inevitable. What are the best approaches Neph has seen for dealing with Indira? I'm perfectly fine spending two or three Q&A sessions if need be.
We didn't use the clones for social shortcuts (dialogue trial runs), we shouldn't exploit Neph either. Besides, 1 year is far too short to see all consequences of e.g. reinstating her as an Agni.
Foresight places our first meeting with Indira
after the JS incident, right now she probably hasn't even visited Kladenets yet.
-> only ask about pitfalls, don't fall into the 'Golden Limit' trap
Low-hanging stuff on Nanoha's plane we don't know about, or tech we should prioritize grabbing?
Important for planning what to do after the Jewel Seed incident, especially if we decide to head to Thedas before the war ends. Should we activate Kladenets? Leviathan? Agni relics we need to grab before Indira does? Most of these concerns are time-sensitive.
-> Added for later, not relevant for several weeks
- Tips on Siofra's origin/affinities?
Less essential, but useful for training. More importantly, not something we can otherwise learn except through painstaking trial-and-error.
-> Already on list
- Nanoha's mage gift?
Low priority overall, but we're thinking about performing the operation soon, so it might get bumped up. The mage-gift will be a permanent increase in Nanoha's capabilities, and we received a previous hint from Neph about turning Nanoha into a demigod, so there's value in querying Neph about it.
The transfer is soon, later changes are far harder, and Jade cares about Nanoha. Bonus for potentially being urgent enough to ask without raising Neph's channeling cost.
-> High priority
Possible repercussions of giving out immortality technology. Repercussions meaning "ancient eldrich gods actively smashing civilizations".
No indication of Eldrazi involvement, AIs deliberately avoid perfection due to
Golden Limit + Frida (unrelated to immortality thought ban), handing out immortality
isn't a no-brainer (wars and revolutions have started for less)
-> ask later
Question about Earth being special (it and only it seems to exist in several planes in a close-to-similar state) - we are going to be operating on Earth for at least a bit, and Nanoha's parents live there. So, if, say, during great parade of the planets, MGLN's celestial bodies (which seem to be full of, if not consist of, archeotech) emit some sort of mana magic pulse that purges all active mana mages, or do something else, we need to know.
3 in 9 (PMMM, MGLN, Girl Genius) is insignificant versus humanity being present on
all of them. 1 year precog has no realistic possibility to find out whether the reason behind that is humanity being special or our plane selection being artificial.
Threats to life/magic are
completely unrelated to the question and would have already been mentioned by Neph if something risking an entire plane would pop up.
-> not added
How long it'd take to make a summon bond with Sigurd? How much it'd clash with our other plans?
Knowing wouldn't change the duration. We have a full schedule on the king-seeker plane, so spending time with him before the JS incident is in direct conflict with setting up our kingdom. He doesn't mind waiting a month, so we have even less of a reason to hurry.
-> not added
Also, interesting in general: Book of Darkness can win against everyone involved. Meaning Jail + Precia, Olivie, and us. What the hell happened to it? Agneyastra should be, roughly, its equal alone.
Agneyastra doesn't
absorb linker cores (she can't use extracted LC) or spell knowledge, nor does she have a Guardian Knights equivalent. Imagine Nachtwal got Jade or Olivie. The Book of Darkness is an SSS rank planet-killer for a reason. The entire TSAB failed to stop it last time.
Who is the optimum candidate for transplanting the Mage gift into Nanoha?
As I understand it, Agneyastra can take
any colored mage gift and add her optimizations. So basically, the optimal donor is someone who sees his magic potential as a curse. Let's not incur a permanent cost increase if we can ask Agneyastra first.
-> ask Agneyastra instead
