Guessing that most SI have say 1 or maybe 2 dots in Occult?

Indeed. They are not entirely clueless thanks to Harry.

Should we invite Murphy to that birthday party or should we spring it on her after the fact?
Also if we make a city god of Chicago does paying taxes count as a act of veneration to it? Also any civic festival.
With Olivia's higher purpose we have to have her talk to Murphy.
Did Molly feel the payment of demon ki being sacrificed to her? At the very least I don't think that it should take her by surprise.

Which is exactly why I am saying that we shouldn't sell IDU as "only if you swear yourself to me".
I am fairly sure that enlightenment is actually a much bigger deal here than IDU. If we are talking about the same thing. Because enlightenment is becoming an essence manipulator. And essence manipulation is a big thing in the modern world.
That's... arguable, actually. This assumes that SI will expand the range of their police activity in proportion to their capabilities, causing escalation. But we actually know that there's a whole community of practitioners, wildfae, and spirits in the city whose crimes / troubles are small time with little to no escalation potential. Yes, lack of knowledge is a limitation. But so is lack of capability. Yes, a mortal with a gun (possibly with special ammunition) likely can stop a minor magical criminal. But only (mostly) lethally. They are too human limited for other courses of action.

Awakening uncontrolled po souls in police officers is almost certain to lead to all sorts of terrible abuses of power. Also I think they would need to eat human flesh to recharge their ki. Being able to absorb ki from the air is a result of high level control*.
I said that you could ignore most the KODE character creation rules because of MIS, but they become very relevant without it.
*Olivia is likely to visit Last Station fairly frequently now. She can recharge without it, but a dragon nest makes things far faster.

Maybe we could get access to soul disciplines somehow? There are a few for defining variably healthy relationships across the Hun-Po divide.
The two parts of a soul make one person, they're supposed to work together. It seems reasonable to me that a major part of the problem is how Pos usually wake up and the Hun's reaction when unaware of what's going on. With a controlled awakening and a proper understanding of what to expect I think they should be able to work together in a much healthier way.
I get that they're supposed to be the part of humanity that touches on the demonic, but I find the idea that the human soul is incapable of healthy operation without one half absolutely dominating the other distasteful.

The best idea for how to organize a police force is literally Molly's world. Why don't we start with a program for exchanging experience and laws. This is what countries usually do. We are the head of the country, not just a powerful player with powers. Delegate!
Of course, our world doesn't deal with a bunch of uncontrollable factions and masquerade, but maybe a fresh perspective from the world of open magic will help them. For example, like with alchemy!

A sleeping po is working in harmony. It's not completely dominated every time someone gets hungry, sleepy or horny the Po is exercising influence.
It's a big thing, yes, but character wise you don't need a lot of Will and to deal with your bestial side every day.
Yes, that was the sense of an entirely new sense expanding.

Really want to get prayer eating now.
Which is why for SI fomorization is a better option. But IDU can also provide that. Mutations, of the kind Uju's plan was made of.

Yes that would work better. However we might want to start with the Alphas. They are already doing street level supernatural policing and it doesn't have the same sort of escalation problems. Also fomorization rules were obviously made with werewolves in mind so it is much easer to find mutations that work with their existing abilities.
You generally don't need to respire demon chi from an external source, the P'o spontaneously regenerates it over time.
Wan Kuei with transhuman enlightenment can get additional demon chi from defiled dragon neats, but that's a hazardous practice for them.
Dhampyrs can eat flesh to recharge their Yin and Yang Chi faster, but that's because of their half-damned nature as children of the Hungry Dead.

1. I said that she can recharge without it.
2. This is a basically a Akuma.
My point is that you can't recharge demon chi by eating people or by normal other ways of feeding. Speeding up demon chi regain is very hard for Wan Kuei or Dhampyrs to manage.
I doubt Alphas would agree. Not in the next year at least. They are very suspicious of Molly. They are wrong in their conclusions but they have good reasons for them. And I don't think giving out IDU to people who are not already working for Molly is a good idea - MIS being the main reason for that but you can come up with a lot of others too.

[X] Tell the Order that Olivia has been empowered through a combination of intense training to develop her natural talents and a spiritual boon you were able to bestow upon her. Such boons are not trivially granted, nor are they freely given, as earning that power requires one to enter our service.

I think that we could convince them with some Exalted empathy/leadership rolls and a good PowerPoint presentation.

I think we should take Harry with us. He should be there too, he is their friend after all!
Olivianoids might actually be in a really good place for balancing with their Pos after a fashion.
That higher purpose she has is something her Hun chose, but became something more through the empowerment of her Po. That implies to me that it's something it's come to be invested in too; a point where they're in perfect alignment.
Not all of them will necessarily have the same drive, but if having one is part of the build then it could be a cornerstone to hold their soul together.

It's also not really aware of what's going on. Being unable to be conscious and harmonious at the same time implies some things about the relationship.

How many dots of background is being a District Attorney? Of course even if it's only a single dot you are still going to need a few dots in law to be a competent District Attorney. Still something to think about for VEE.
Three dots should do it, but you cannot just buy that with XP, you need to get it though normal play or magic of some kind
