while the nanites would help with keeping Riley out of the Birdcage, they're not anything Wlyd can't do already and we can always invest in Medicine to make them ourselves eventually
No, this is not something Wyld can do. There is a major difference between one person working on one patient at a time, and a permanent regeneration upgrade which can be mass produced.
For one, it works on Wyld herself, greatly mitigating her inability to heal herself.
Frankly, thats pretty unrealistic anytime soon. To get that level of worship going we would have to basically perform absurd miracles. Would likely not be happening until after Auto has been summoned (if then).
Not really? If you count the actual number of persons needed we have enough for Cult N/A within most states of America.
Creation and Autochtonia's's Cult values are based on premodern population counts. Earth Bet is a modern, urbanized population, and I'd point out that New York on it's own has more people living in it than most of the Roman Empire put together had.
And I would expect manufacturing souls would be slow and expensive enough that we could not possibly make enough for everyone in time.
Also not strictly true. Creation's soul production is a fully automatic and unmaintained mechanism, which keeps up with soul loss to Oblivion, ghosts hanging around, soulsteel forging, Raksha predation AND the birth rate. While in the First Age, it also had to deal with producing new souls for Solars pulling entire countries complete with population out of the Wyld
The biggest challenge is generating the Essence to power it and actually constructing it, but a large scale prayer engine should be able to run the necessary power to fuel it in order to make any souls. And once you can translate souls to Essence production, the rate will grow logarithmically to the limits of the Ewer of Souls 2.0's ability to plant them in hosts, followed by running out of people to plant them in.
We would need to set up Loom and Lethe equivalents, which would be a monumental undertaking (likely would need help of Auto or atleast divine ministers).
We have Autochton's fetich soul right here. Iris is capable of the job, especially working with the more pliable Causality Essence. The big challenge is doing it
fast.
Bad Girl, No Biscuit is sort of canon end Riley. She's not as cheerful as she could be, and she's kind of resigned to the fact that she's made some pretty bad choices. Also, perhaps making some amends?
Sounds about right pegging it as handling her as a penitent criminal rather than a victim.
Respect My Authority is well, Taylor is the moral compass upon which Riley's new world operates and she wants to make her proud and have her say good girl. Or something, I'm not a hundred percent sure on this, because I was tired at the time and I think I forgot a large chunk of it.
This serves well for our longer term loyalties.
Though it's disturbing to displace Jack Slash's spot in her psychology like that.
This isn't just addressed to you, but knowing this quest, I'm guessing that in less than four days, something big will come up that will force us to delay Exalting the next candidate by at least a week.
This is something that is predictable yes.
I mean, something like that has ALWAYS happened to date. Gromweld is not in the habit of putting pointless things up to vote.
Earth Bet is not currently susceptible to Weaving, and won't be for a long time IC. When we WILL need sorcery we will need it bigtime.
Hence our Ori candidates being groomed for the role.
Noting that we may be able to help Iris with a Weaving Engine even prior to the demesne, by working in concert to split the load.
