I know, but I meant what I wrote. That technology enables you to create more medicines, at larger batches, and has already drawn attention. So you can start with the next-largest size, instead of starting at Small.

Pod of Rebirth
This machine is capable of altering a person's appearance, from mere haircuts to radical morphological changes, such as the removal of all traces of Mutation within a single day at its longest. Unfortunately, the requirements for its operation are such that only a dedicated and large power plant could hope to keep it in operation continuously. It also has a handy instruction manual to set up the changes yourself!
(+40 to Biology.)

Click to shrink...

Is that +40 from using-up the pod, or is it just from having the manual for what it could do?

2x Dying Light

I now want to give one to Aria, so if some other Knight tries to peel her out of PD, she can ring their head hard enough to make them see stars.

Tidestrider
The only thing we know about this machine is that it supposedly has been used in ocean-going ships to swiftly part waters. Anything else must be uncovered by deliberate activation, which is fraught with dangers.

Click to shrink...

... Are there even bodies of water large enough nearby to try this?

Eyes of Règle
These biomechanical eyes were recovered from deep within the Forest, within a guarded and secluded, almost fortress-like laboratory, where corpses upon corpses were piled against the doors to the chamber in which they were hidden. The corpses all faced outwards, and what weapon-shaped object remained tells well of what must have happened. It was a battle to see these safe, one that ended in a grand and terrible slaughter.
(Eyes of Règle - Painlessly attach themselves to the user, allowing them to discern when lies, and what kind of lies, are being told. They can be manually shut down.)

Direct combat or the dance of politics. What will she focus on?

I'm thinking the perfume, because she will live long enough that assassinations' would be the most likely danger to her, and the Artifact eyes.


I'm also wondering if we should make a coil gun focused military unit. 12 people would be enough to cover 3 types of guns...

Oh, and now I'm unsure about the prosperity mechanics for Norqod. Looking at the Industry District, its pretty consistent that mechanically complicated or high skill options cost Low-Class prosperity. On the other hand, its mainly chemical industries that give Low-Class prosperity, which I'm kind of leery about due to how dangerous that can be.

Don't forget that a hand-crafted weapon is eesentially an engagement ring in Slatnan. So the question is, do they get engaged or do they stay as they are for a little while longer.

We did implement both safety protocols and safety equipment, which improved a bit of the Low-Class prosperity since people aren't so much at risk.

According to the Regions of Slatnan sheet it has a higher population and a higher percentage of mutated then Zulmni.(180,000 and 11% to Zulmni's 140,000 3%) Or is it that Zulmni has a history of religious mutilation of mutated?

Sure, let's go with that.

Honestly, I figure that given our center of operations is right next to Mirn, the BHVs already have some access to our services and our influence makes things a bit less bad than the other locations - which is why I put Mirn last in line for fixing. At this point, it's a three month difference.
