Maybe an overview of what Ozzyland is like? Or a better idea of what the Vlatava/Markovia border looks like?Edit: Is there anything fun and fast people would like to hear about?
I'll see if I can get the Ozzyland stuff but the "better idea of the Vlatava/Markovia border looks like" will be tricky to do in a manner that's meaningful (I can barely describe the California/Nevada border through text and I've seen that multiple times IRL).Maybe an overview of what Ozzyland is like?

Personally I'd be more inclined toward Kuma Shinken
Personally I'd think it'd be interesting for Cassandra to develop an interest in splicing when we get it so she can have some fun making chimeras. Maybe as a hobby. She's already interested in Enoch's work.Suffice to say Cassandra really is cool with a bunch of animals to the point where it's really difficult to narrow down an ideal pet.
So this isn't quite making chimeras but I will say that I did have an omake idea set some time in the future that had Cassandra getting involved with splicing and ending with her making herself some kind of spliced monstrosity.Personally I'd think it'd be interesting for Cassandra to develop an interest in splicing when we get it so she can have some fun making chimeras.

If it makes anyone more comfortable, I changed plan peaceful solutions to remove the special economic zone and replace it with a joint war recovery fund that Vlatava and Markovia will need to put money in to fund reconstruction and the enforcement of their agreement (such as having Serial Peacemaking guard the border for example)
The idea is to take money from Markovia to prevent them for having enough of it to fund an army, while being less involved than trying to subvert their entire economy.

I like this one more. Especially restrictions on spending money. But what would be the reason to suggest lenient tax and banking policies meant to encourage investors if it does not benefit us directly then? It looks like left overs from economic zone to me. Without economic zone it is even worse if it is applied to the entirety of Markovia.
Cursed Idea: What if we mind-switched Supergirl & Marie Louise Dahl?
1) Marie gains "adult body" (well, more mature than her current one)
2) Wade Eiling can interrogate Supergirl without need of "anti-Kryptonian measures"
3) Bastion gains (Marie-as-)Supergirl as member.
Everyone will profit... except Supergirl herself
I want Marie as an op diplomacy and other stat hero, not a Supergirl with unfamiliar powers and physical might to adapt to and none of the combat training to leverage them the actual Supergirl has. Like, we have a very simple way to use Diana feeling she owes us one for the warning and Kara feeling she owes Diana one for the rescue to recruit Supergirl in truth, subverting the incredibly high odds of an eventual reversal of any mind swap we engage in with Supergirl.
We have one, we just need to develop Life model decoy tech a little further, and we can provide her with a adult robotic body that looks human, specifically like herself without her condition. We can see about getting a team together next turn.In which case we owe Marie a way to help with her body issues, We nigked Ivo, etc we have habit of rewarding loyality. @King crimson can we have action for Lex to try to figure something out, we practice Englightened self interest.
I think LMD's can look however we want to right now the issues as I understand it are their brains can't act humans and the big issue of we haven't developed a robot version of some of the senses. You don't realize how much you miss something like tasting ice cream or feeling a cool breeze until you can't do it anymore.We have one, we just need to develop Life model decoy tech a little further, and we can provide her with a adult robotic body that looks human, specifically like herself without her condition.

I'm not fully sure of what you're asking me for.In which case we owe Marie a way to help with her body issues, We nigked Ivo, etc we have habit of rewarding loyality. @King crimson can we have action for Lex to try to figure something out, we practice Englightened self interest.
Is one of them magically transferring her soul to another body? I've already thought of that I just can't remember if I've mentioned it yet. Plus Fixit and the lmds have already given us an obvious and marketable option.I'm not fully sure of what you're asking me for.
If you are asking me for an option literally just for Lex to try and figure out a solution to Marie's body image problems, the answer is that no I will not give you one.
I can already think of three separate solutions of the top of my head to Marie's issues using actions and resources you already have without involving the mind swapping device. Randino above me mentions one of them and I don't believe the other two solutions I'm thinking of were ever meaningfully discussed by the thread.
Keep in mind that the three solutions I'm thinking of are solutions that I think you could easily shoot for now instead of something like learning enough about genetics to alter Marie's genetic code to alter her current body to basically rapidly grow into that of a more typical adult woman's, or training Ace and growing close to her and empowering her so she gets reality warping capabilities and using that to solve the problem. The solutions I'm thinking of aren't necessarily one turn fixes but they are solutions I do not think would be especially onerous for the thread.
This is method by which we would be making Marie into a robot.Robotic Conversion
Fixit's ability to convert a biological creature into a fully mechanical one holds interesting philosophical implications for the ship of Theseus problem and is a way for you to upgrade people past the limitations of humanity. While Fixit has proven to be capable of sanity and his methods leave people with a fully functional body, he has not yet fully mastered making robotic bodies that appear fully human, making this enhancement noticeable, and it seems to have affected his personality, though it's unclear how much of that stems from him suddenly having a radically different life thanks to being a robot and how much of that stems from a flaw in transferring the mind. This option is permanent and cannot be undone. This option cannot be combined with any other option.
This is how Marie feels about it, which is why we are pursuing LMD so we can combine fixits conversion with robot bodies roughly indistinguishable from a human being from typical observation.Marie Louise Dahl: Marie can take this option and is vaguely aware of its existence. She is heavily considering this option and sees a lot of appeal in it. Admittedly she is a touch unhappy with what her body would end up like after robotic conversion, but she is slowly coming around to the idea that it might be better than her current body. If Marie were to take this option, she would undoubtedly want to be upgraded to match up to her more idealized robotic body after the first treatment.
