I looked at the description of the ability of the third level, and it says "The player asks one question per dot of Ren about the past, present, or future of the current story."
Has there been a change in the mechanics of this ability?

Ohhhhhhhhhh, okay that's my bad I thought you were using the Tier 1 level of the Utterance, not the Tier 3 level. If you are using the Tier 3 then you are all good. Its mechanics have not been changed, sorry for the confusion.
Has the Awestruck status expired on Hannah and George?
Since using "Secrets plucked from heaven" will take a little time compared to the options suggested in the text, is it possible to choose what Helel will do in the remaining time?
For example, can she help restore the tomb and at the same time try to understand the changes that Cory made to its sacred geometry, or study the records of Cory that remained in the tomb in order to find out what kind of help he provided to his allies?

Yes; it expired during the previous update.
No, it's not; if that ends up being the chosen plan, Helel will spend the next update doing her divinations (and the next vote will probably be on what she decides to do with that information).

[X] Plan: Sweeping Tracks
-[X] Run interference with English Heritage outside of Suffolk.
-[X] Find Dorothea Brand in Dunwich.
-[X] Library 2 (Occult, spiritual Wounds on the world, and their inhabitants) A Sheriff's Badge (Vestige 2) which helps the wearer convince others to commit violence. An old hat from the California Gold Rush and faded photos from the start of photography, of friends whose names you don't remember.

[x] Plan: Solidify control
-[x] Run interference with the Bury St Edmunds town authorities.
-[x] Get Andrew Rosser, Suffolk English Heritage supervisor, on your side.
-[x] Library 2 (Occult, the bargains and offerings of the Devourer). A Shining Coin (Vestige 2) that when shown to another can inflame their greed. A series of Levantine poems on parchment and a vase that once held flowers from the coast of Cyprus, now long dead and the vase left empty.
If this is going to be the base of our cult, we need to make sure it's secure. To that end, we get the cult itself to make nice with the town authorities and help cover up any waves we might have made today (we did just drop a meteor on this town, and Cory is out there ready and liable to cause trouble for us). Meanwhile, we get Andrew Rosser on side so that we can exercise control over this site in a more legitimate capacity.
As for the loot vote, I'll admit I'm mostly voting based on what I don't want to be out there in the wild. All the magic items have the potential to be dangerous, but I think this option has the scariest possible library contents. Especially since we know there's now an enemy sorcerer on the loose who's already been experimenting with things related to the Devourer.

I'm changing my vote and if @Don Alverzo doesn't mind, then I suggest making these additions to this plan.
- Let George or Hannah call Andrew and tell him that Helel is a representative of a private charity and the Suffolk English Heritage Department is one of the potential candidates for a grant, but before making her choice, Helel needs to talk to him in a private setting.
- At the beginning of the meeting, Helel begins to make small talk along the way praising the quality of the work of the Suffolk English Heritage Department. (This is done in order to activate friendly help and enhance the impression to get an Informed state)
- - If the previous action did not have the desired success, Helel activates a Shiny Coin to make Andrew more vulnerable to generous promises.
- After the conversation, Helele says that Andrew fits her criteria and removes the cover from his face, allowing him to see her dead nature.
- After Andrew can clearly think to explain that Helel is the defender of humanity from the destructive dark forces that she needs his help in return, he will receive power, money, knowledge, magical power and protection. Also to tell about the fact that warlocks are wandering nearby now, because of their reckless experiments, people have already begun to die, to reinforce this with a reminder of a person who died from an animal attack. At the end of the speech, use the Informed state and invite him to join the cult.
- - If he doubts and is under the influence of a Shiny Coin, then offer him a part of his power right now by giving him the gift of persuasion and if he agrees, then put a pillar point in him.

I'll be honest, I don't really like that level of micromanaging in quests unless it's specifically requested by the QMs. I trust that when an option is provided, the QMs will allow us to carry it out competently without having us detail every step of the process. You're welcome to vote however you like, of course, but I don't think I'll be adding any of that to my plan.

I'm honestly in a similar position here; @Fghubyygvb explaining all those details in the post is great, and it gives me and the other writers an idea of what they're looking for, but we would prefer it if you stayed relatively tame when it comes to the micromanaging, especially in the plans themselves.
So, to answer your question Fghu, the plan is reasonable, but I'd ask you to keep very detailed stuff like that to suggestions, unless we ask for it.

I'm glad to hear you liked it! I'm sorry for the lapse in writing; I've been very busy and frankly more than a little over-stressed by starting up my Masters'.
Im not talking about the lapse in your writing, but commenting about the rarity of ' Mummy: The Cursed" fanfiction in general. There is only one other fanfic taht has them that i know, and that one is a crossover between multiple chronicles of darkness splats (Im talking about "stealing dreams" fanfic on this site, a crossover with Persona, and it also got changelings and vampires and others in it).
Any chance you can reccomand any othe arisen fanfics, or quests?
