[X] New Plan
Stewardship (Choose Three):
[X] Moonshot, Part 1
With your corporations insights into powered flight, it was only natural for Vales council to come to you with questions regarding the potential to go beyond the atmosphere. Beyond the theoretical benefits of remote platforms placed in orbit, the temporal anomaly surrounding the moon has been a mystery for countless generations, one you are now in a unique possibility to investigate. It will, of course, take years before anything major is done... But this is the first step
. Cost: 50 Upkeep: 0 Success on: ??? Rewards: High Altitude Dust Research, ???. +10 to roll if taken with "CC: Verticality". +10 to roll if taken with Lunatic Dream.
[X] Communications Online
It is an absolute priority among every kingdom for Vale's CCT tower to be rebuilt, as quickly as possible. But while Cheshire Crafts is among the companies asked to contribute, it won't be solely your project... unless you take the opportunity to push for a complete overhaul of the system, and assume total control over the construction. Direct access from the ground up to the lynchpin of international communications is a valuable prize indeed...
Cost: 350 Upkeep: 150 Success on: 20/50/80. Rewards: Unrestricted backdoor hardware access to Vale's CCT tower. Potential for contracts for backdoor access to all CCT towers, period. +200 Income, International Reputation Gains.
[X] The Trap Springs
It's time. It's an intricate setup, relying on obscure portions of international trade regulations, some legal lassitudes extended to the Great Academies, and manipulation of public opinion on multiple continents, but you hold Mistral's council in check. You
will extend your reach there, whether the councilors approve or not. And if you play your role well... you'll do it and be met with international applause.
Cost: 100 Upkeep: 100. Success on 50/80/110. +15 if taken with "Foreign Affairs". +15 if taken with "Faunus Foibles". +10 if taken with "Buisness Ties". Rewards: Cheshire Crafts able to operate in Mistral. New markets mean new clients. +400 income. Major influence increase in Mistral. Major influence increase in foreign Faunus approval, in Mistral and elsewhere. ???.
Martial (Choose One):
[X]
The Waste Land
Anna Creon Moore, the Spring Maiden, is active once more in the peripheries of Vale. This is something to take note of, especially given her possible ties to Team HERO, and your invitation from Artoire to attend a meeting where the maidens will apparently be present. Go find her, and while you're at it, gather some more samples of her magic to analyze.
Success on: ???. Rewards: A meeting. ???.
Diplomacy (Choose Two):
[X] Business Ties
The Schnee Dust Company holds incredible wealth. Now, you need to ensure that you can actually
make use of all those resources. You'll need to put on an elaborate charade, fooling those watching both Cheshire Industries and the Schnee Dust Company, as well as those invested in both corporations... But the gains will be immense. In this weave of false politics, you'll be able to "persuade" Weyland Schnee to support your bid in Mistral, without observers batting an eye.
Success on: 20/50/80 Rewards: Increased access to Schnne Dust Company resources, decreased suspicion gain chances in Atlas. +100 Income.
[X] Faunus Foibles
You've spent ten years building a reputation among the Faunus as a philanthropist and visionary. It's time to cash that in. The state of Faunus relations in Mistral is significantly worse than in Vale, but even so, when tens of thousands march in unified protest, the kingdom will be forced to take note. It's time for change in Mistral. It's time for change in the world.
Success on: 20/40/90. Rewards: Major protests in favor of Faunus rights in Mistral. Political unrest, giving Cherise Cheshire an "in". Potential major international reputation/influence gains.
Intrigue (Choose Two) (+15 to Vale Based Rolls):
[X] Royal Flush
Mistral and Atlas are cooperating on a taskforce meant to locate the missing Jewel of Winter, and its thief. While you have some passive insight into the goings-on of this group through Weyland, surely it would be remiss of Vale's Anti-Royalist taskforce to not contribute to this effort when necessary?
Success on: 30/60/90. Rewards: Reduced detection chances. Additional information. ???.
[X] Alice, Bob, and Eve
In addition to the improvements you've considered for the CCTT, you have some "improvements" in mind as well. Nothing so amateurish and simple as the faults in your original drafts, that you have no doubt that Atlas still exploits - this will be a masterpiece of design, apparently impregnable to all interference even with direct access, and yet
not. While you could push for this design either way, it would be much simpler if you had complete control over construction...
Success on: 40/60/80. +20 if taken with "Communications Online". Rewards: New CCTT is apparently secure, no longer relying on the original designs by Wrachïod Krom. Futureproof your surveillance.
Learning (Choose Two) (+20 to C.C. Rolls):
[X] CC: Dot Dot Dash
The CCT tower must be replaced. This is a perfect opportunity to advance your plans for modernization, which have been pushed to the wayside for some time. Increase the bandwidth a hundred times over, and you'll see color video explode in popularity. Prices for communications will fall, and the world will be drawn ever closer together... listening to one unified message. One that you permit.
Cost: 50. Upkeep: 0. Success on: 40/70/100. +20 if taken with "Communications Online". Rewards: Increased international reputation/influence. +150 income. Push the envelope on information transfer.
[X] CC: Biodata
Cheshire Crafts hasn't had a dedicated biology department... until now. Between your research into healing and prosthetics, and your
interesting information on the origin of Faunus, it's clear that this is a gap that needs to be filled. Create the department, and set them to work - there's already plenty for them to work on.
Cost: 50. Upkeep: 50. Success on: 20/50/80. Rewards: Progress on implant research. Progress on faunus/human gene analysis. Additional biological research unlocked.
Piety (Choose Three, One Bonus)(+10 to C.C. Rolls):
[X] Trail of Silver
Ozwald Ozpin's department has kindly asked you to provide your expertise in sifting through the resting place of the Silver Eyed Warrior, and uncovering it's secrets. While the thought of that knowledge being shared rankles, it's still a mystery that calls to you.
Success on: ???. Rewards: ???.
[X] CC: Unobtainium
There does not currently exist a material strong enough, and aura conductive enough, for prosthetics for Hunters to exist... except for Star Platinum. While you're far from being able to recreate the stuff of legends, you can still aspire to that lofty goal, though. There's untapped depths that Dust-infused metallurgy can go, and you'll be the one to plumb them.
Success on: 30/50/70. Rewards: Stronger, more aura-reactive alloys. Materials science advances.
[X] Lunatic Dream
Aurion talks of legends, ancient even in his time, of the moon-that-was: A whole, unbroken disk of silver light in the sky. He speaks of the calamity that struck, when the moon was broken, and of the nightmares that were born of the furious moons anger and rage. This is all apocryphal, but he
also speaks of a temple dedicated to the priestesses of the moon, and their ties to the seasons.
Success on: 40/70/100. Rewards: Investigate the origins of the Maidens, and their connection to the shattered moon. +10 to roll if taken with "Moonshot, Part One".
[X] Carol of the Bells
The Jewel of Winter has bonded to you, and even in scorching deserts a continent away, you can feel its chill comforting you. You broke your very form apart into ice and snow when you last drew on its strength... but even that felt like the slightest touch of the gem's true power. Investigate.
Success on: ???. Reward: ???.
Personal (1 Locked, 1 Free):
[x] Teaching (Locked)
You're taking some time off from preparing students for the Vytal festival, given your important duties in establishing the fledgling Shade academy, and in the increasing cooperation between Beacon and Haven. You're certain Clara and Arc will do fine in your stead. Success on 30/60/90. Reward: Teach Vale's future Huntsmen and Huntresses. +50 to roll from previous turns.
[X] Coronation
What have you accomplished, with your actions so far, and what will you do in the future? It has been a decade, an auspicious length of time. Those who cared for you, raised you... what would they think? What do they deserve? What obligations does a ring of Starmetal and a Maiden's Jewel place upon you? Consider these thoughts, and reflect.
Automatic Success. Gain: Conviction. Attunement with Em-Iâ.
