I would not call it an Aurane, it could have worked if Heremtia had chosen to play along, also he might have been influenced.

It working hinged on Hermetia dropping the ball and not thinking through the ramifications of blowing open a completely new scandal right on the heels of the first one. Which required her to do something idiotic and shortsighted.
And if he was manipulated, then this was not an Aurane, but an Aedon.
Fair enough.

Seriously though, you'd think a domain registrar would be better at picking a name.
...Then again considering the contents of the internet going with an ambiguous name like that might just be the result of a startling amount of honesty about how their product is used.

Alright. Long story short, this is bad. Apparently the Illithid had managed to infiltrate the leadership of the Purples, because what just happened is some grade A bullshit. This now leaves us with the Golds firmly directing foreign policy, while the Purples have to consolidate themselves and lay low while the furor of the whole mess dies down. Thus, we need to move in multiple directions to actually get shit done here.
[X] Plan Screw This, Bring the A-Game
-[X] In regards to the Golds
--[X] Use the favor and goodwill to let Hermetia make connections to the Gold leadership and influential figures in their power-block. This is standard cozying up with the local rulers.
--[X] Try to figure out where the internal divisions in the block are drawn, which figures are the most influential and especially who is the leader of fringe-elements of the group.
--[X] The goal of this, which Viserys will not even tell Hermetia, is to find our how one could splinter the Golds as a faction and if there are elements in their block that can be co-opted to start a reactionary splinter-group to serve as a catspaw.
-[X] In regards to the Blues
--[X] Start hiring low-skilled workers for construction projects in Sorcerers Deep to reshape the seafloor for stability, kelp farming, fish farming, oyster farming, snail farming and other ressource gathering efforts.
--[X] Also hire coral-shapers to expand the sea-quarters of SD and improve harbors across the Imperium.
--[X] Cite security concerns to have people vetted by the Inquisition before hiring them.
--[X] This allows the Inquisition to get some agents into Vialesk and gives them access to the power-base of the Blues.
--[X] Carefully approach the Blue leadership before implementing this, talking about your honest desire for those workers and that you would like to help them root out spies in the wake of the recent revelations. Be open and friendly with them, citing your efforts in public healthcare and welfare as proof that you are a natural ally of the little people.
--[X] Secret Agenda: Exploit this to get a feeling of what their base wants, what their problems are und how you could shift the populist movement to your advantage.
-[X] In regards to the Greens
--[X] Keep up efforts to get in contact with them and keep cordial relations, with the cited goal of being allowed to use AG-vessels within the SoI of Vialesk and to keep berthing rights there.
--[X] Also see about the Greens feelings about a potential agreement of pro-active threat management. (Which means the Imperial military murdering shit that the Greens want gone for an appropriate payment in some form.)
--[X] Secret Agenda: Look for ambitious people and potential defectors. Also look into acquiring military technology to improve AG-vessel performance underwater.
-[X] In regards to the Purples
--[X] Keep Hermetia away from them. That well is poisoned.
--[X] Instead, set up clandestine meetings directly between Viserys and potential new leaders of the power-block, using deniable ACSEC and Iron Bank assets to set them up under the guise of trade talks.
--[X] Same as with the Golds, get a deeper understanding for the Purples internal structure and divisions, and the leaders of different wings of the block.
--[X] Not So Secret Agenda: See about playing kingmaker or subverting the block to your own purposes.
-[X] In regards to the former leader of the Purples
--[X] It's extremely likely that he was subverted by the Illithid an even if not, he should have some valuable intel.
--[X] Keep a close eye on him and monitor his movements with deniable assets. Look for any trips he makes that lead him further away from Vialesk.
--[X] Secret Agenda: The observation is meant to reveal any contacts he has with outsiders, but also to see about getting a chance to abduct him and get a good look at his memories. Decide on the viability and necessity of this once you have more information about him.
-[X] In regards to other cities.
--[X] Make some inquiries with other places about construction ordinances, trade rights and so on to prepare for potentially building a Terminus there instead of in Vialesk.
--[X] Also look into the viability of creating a mobile Terminus by constructing steel frames that will then be filled out by coral construction, using a number of AG-engines to move the base around. Also make sure you can easily re-activate the Terminus after moving it without having to start the enchanting from scratch.

3rd Month Turnvote proposal (0.3)
Hero Character and Strategic Assets proposal
Research Actions
MAs
Major Action (taken as a Free Action by most of the characters):
To Cut Out the Goat's Heart: The time for waiting is at an end. The travesties of Qohor cannot wait longer in light of looming Reconquest, and the sister-state of Norvos is sure to act against you if left alone, surrounded by all sides. It is time to bring the fire to both cities… and hope the Bearded priests will see the reason sooner than the eldritch spawns of Black Goat might.
Hero Character and Strategic Assets proposal
[] Stars, Eclipsed: It is clear now, that the Court of Stars will not bow down before you with the Reconquest you are posed to wage in but a few months. As you cannot afford to fight such a polity simultaneously with the rest of enemy factions in Westeros, the only solution is ending them before your forces move upon Westeros in full.
-[] Before you can bring down all the power of Companions on the Court in truth within their own realm, it stands to reason to destroy all the assets they command outside of it, first.
-[] Goals: Eliminate the presence of Court of Stars in Westeros, with extreme prejudice. Bonus Goals: Capture all high-ranking members and leaders possible for sacrifice to fuel OG-backed intervention into the Feywild.

[] Hells' Spears, Blunted: The hold of the Devils cannot be allowed to close fully upon the Slavers' Bay. A full armed intervention isn't possible... for now. So for months on it shall remain, that your best agents shall scheme and kill in these foreign lands in order to but slow down the might of the First closing in on his prise... Whatever his true plans might be, unknown to you just yet.
-[] Goals: Counter-scheming, assassination, sabotage. Morals boundaries are all off, stop the Devils and Lady of Spears at any cost.

The travesties of Qohor cannot wait longer in light of looming Reconquest, and the sister-state of Norvos is sure to act against you if left alone, surrounded by all sides. It is time to bring the fire to both cities… and hope the Bearded priests will see the reason sooner than the eldritch spawns of Black Goat might.

Changelog:
[] "Fluff" and "goals" added to all Major Actions lacking them before.
-[] Maybe re-read them in case y'all disagree with my phrasing or the basic ideas of the actions?
[] Slight RA-assignment readjustment, in order to finish the Powered Armor with Valeria. She was really dedicated to finishing it in her interlude.
[] Maelor preparing the shop to not draw suspicion or "legal" trouble in case he leaves and we have no replacement for him hor months.
-[] Frankly, I'm not seeing Maelor managing much more than what he already did establishing a way in, and keeping him there keeps him as irrelevant as humanly possible.
Which is annoying.

I'd use this vote right here as the game-plan from now on and allocate resources as necessary.

About that, any preference in city?
We could try to stop the tainted Graces in Astapor, but weve had our most activity there last month, so maybe more assets in Mereen or Yunkai would be better?
Also I'm not fully certain that a small army of golems and undead is already the best option, particularly not if we can use them against Qohor or the CoS.

This feel like something that'll annoy our current Triton citizens. Isn't that already their niche? Or are they too nomadic for that to be part of their normal skillset and jobs, @DragonParadox?
If all we want is information and not goodwill, wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to divine all this and send a few people to drink with the locals? No need to hire them all!
Legally, right?
This sounds like it should be an action per city, or at least an interlude per city. And maybe name the target cities in the vote?
There are more jobs in the underwater economy than there are workers currently, so it should not annoy anyone.

Gotcha, will edit in a few minutes.
Hermetia-appropriate actions will be these, then?
And this being Viserys-specific MAs?
And these being an Inquisition-and-below level abstracted MA?
Just trying to sort what will go being an MA (DP needs reminder of this sort of stuff, lest it is forgotten forever) and what goes to Hermatia herself.
I kinda skipped most of the ark, I have no idea what city are we best to target now.
I assume we'll vote on that as we go? :/
The golems and the undead are "you can put this in a bag and throw them at an enemy if needed"-sort of asset-allocation.
The Soulforged Undead wearing Lead armor with a Blood Clor in them are supposedly invisible to Divination, so they are mostly fine as well, if not the sneakiest around.

We have how many Tritons? About 2,000 or so? Who all were nomads until recently?
It's a non-issue. It's not their niche, unless you think their niche is "everything maritime".
Divination doesn't get us contacts though and I don't want to throw up too many awkward questions by magically knowing things we shouldn't. It also keeps their attention more on our obvious moves then on the secret ones we want to cover up.
... of course ...
Do you have the post for me with the description of the other cities?
And a general report would be fine.
