selling my vote to whoever adds a cannai summon attempt btw
Done, with a caveat about only doing so if we have time to heal before reaching Oro.
Unnecessary —> unnecessarily. @Sir Stompy , you have this error as well.
Thanks, that's a big help. Fixed.
Spellcheck: "News" blackout, not "new" blackout.
Thank you, I appreciate it. Fixed.
Oh, speaking of which, @Left-Hand Mutant , did you give up on the asking-Oro-to-prefabricate-substrate thing? If so, why?
....I'd gotten less sanguine about our ability to create scores of RER onsite, so it seemed less important.
On reflection, sending that message, plus that we have the means to protect Leaf, seems useful. I'll probably add it back in when I get home.
Raincheck on this, but a part of me is going "ALARM ALARM SCREAMING IN KAGOME" at the suggestion of disclosing Naruto's secret orders. I make no comment on whether it is a good idea or not yet, but am simply voicing my paranoid concern.
This is a good instinct, and I appreciate it. I also appreciate the distinction between "alarm bells" an "bad idea".
In this case the damaging part of the secret; "Naruto is pursuing rift research against AMITY injunction" is something Oro already knows, as Naruto recruited him to do said research.
But I'd like more eyes on this, let me know what you think.
Suggestion: Also include Iron Earth Rune to prevent the obvious burrowing shenanigans.
Done.
I'd coach this as us suggesting that involving Leaf should be done from the start: something like "Has Leaf been linked in yet?" or similar could be said.
That's a much better frame, thank you. Implemented.
@Left-Hand Mutant
While I understand well your opposition to the bioseals, what's the problem with the EM Nuke dead man's switch? Seems like something we'd want to have no matter what.
Great question, glad you're asking.
Given that we're playing very nice with Oro in the initial meeting, and have almost no additional firepower to offer unless he joins up with Leaf, I expect he'll play nice and use our runes to enlist Leaf's assistance, so we're pretty safe until the Riftwar happens.
And the Riftwar is just to high-risk an event to have Hazou hooked up to a deadman switch that can kill human civilization. A 1/5th chance that we win but Hazou dies and needs rezing isn't great, but a 1/5th chance that we win but EM goes public is much worse.
Plus, if we lose, I'd rather risk Pain/AMITY than just end everything.
And I think it makes Oro *less* happy to keep us around as a long-term risk.
Does that all make sense to you?
