- Resources 0->5 = 1 Credit
This one is mostly just a sink for leftover points.
I don't believe it's easily traceable or self evident, but spending it wisely would be a thing.
Note that most of our Assembly are minors and thus have limited funding normally. It's most useful when combined with Dimensional Access, as we can spend the Resources freely to develop the other world without interference.
- Low Quality Vial = 1 Credit
- Medium Quality Vial = 2 Credits
- High Quality Vial = 3 Credits
Getting a vial for Iris to study would be interesting. The question is quality, since I'm not sure it makes a difference if Iris studies a 'core' shard vs studying a peripheral one.
- Access to any no-problematic parahuman on Earth-Bet = 1 Credit
- Access to any parahuman on Earth-Bet = 3 Credits
- Access to any parahuman in Cauldron's reach = 5 Credits
3 Credit picks that may be useful:
-Glaistig Uaine - Regardless of whether we Exalt her, she needs to be turned into an asset. Since these favors can be doled out at a later date, this would be one of Saki's Big Missions.
-Sleeper - We don't actually know anything about Sleeper, but I believe Industrial Survival Frame may be useful for turning him from a hazard to an asset.
-Nilbog - Useful skills for providing stuff for us to control or Riley to work on. But normally getting to him would involve a military campaign which leaves him less than happy once you killed enough of his goblins. Cauldron could abduct him without much fuss to talk to.
- Access to a specified alternate Earth = 4 Credits ("aquatic Earth that doesn't have humans", Earth-Aleph, etc.)
This is IMMENSELY valuable I think, for multiple reasons:
-It introduces Iris to Dimensional Science. Ongoing access to a portal between the worlds would do a great deal for his ability to attune properly to Causality Essence. Like how leylines run through portals and dimensional transitions.
-It gives us an open planet to prepare to receive all the humans of Autochtonia when they arrive. The timescale is long by quest standards, but preparing to receive millions of people would take decades.
-It gives us a planet to mine and build on without sovereignty conflicts, whether it's a super fortress or other facility.
-It gives us a planet for Iris to activate the Wyld based generator without fear of harming people if it escapes containment somehow(I preemptively blame Simurgh).
Overall, I believe dimensional access is the most valuable option present. An earth which is habitable but not inhabited by any humans is very nearly ideal for our purposes.
