Slotting our best artifact into the Black Box (Hololithic Cube) gives us a +5 research bonus, but would cost us the +12 bonus that our only scientist is currently providing.

The Black Box also gives a 5% chance of an Artefact we use in research not getting used up. It's not a big chance but it means there is a dice roll for every Artefact we use. But I could post a second version without the Black Box. Expanding the smithy would be a good second choice because it boosts research and makes the military build-up we need to clear the Tower easier.

    The War Is Over! The Council Of Starlight Has Been Captured!
    In a frustratingly undramatic fashion, the Crusade against Starlight came to an end six weeks ago, as the Emperor and his bodyguards had captured the Council. Moving swiftly once the Flood had been broken, Emperor Elianus charged with his guard into the heart of the region, smashing apart several smaller remaining bands of the Flood, Mutants, and some Bandits. Reports are hard to come by once they entered the capital, but following army-units said that the entire complex had been silent, without the clamor and noise that a city housing a million people should produce. Instead, the only living being were the councilors. Even then, only two members, as the other ten, decided that they would rather end their lives than stand trial for their crimes against humanity and the people of Starlight. Their trial had been quick, and the sentence a foregone conclusion: Death. At the very least, we will be able to breathe freer, knowing that such monsters have been killed.

    Church Of Eden Still Reeling From The Scandal!
    Riots and unrest continue in the cities, as the COE is unable, or unwilling, as many say, to calm tensions among their followers. Other religions, adventures, Mutated, and thieves take advantage of the COE's weakness, grabbing everything that they can while trying to sway their followers. A situation in which only the Pilgrims seem to have taken the high road, setting up aid-stations, handing out free food to those displaced by the riots, and calling for an end to violence, even as their operations in the city of Tessen ground to a halt due to exceptionally heavy unrest. One was heard saying that, "Yes, he [Ex-Bishop Jesica] was, or probably still is an asshole. But that he had found love in the arms of someone [a Mutated] is proof enough that he still had a heart in him. Though it is disheartening to see that his children have grown up without him, and will now think that he hated them from the beginning." Strangely enough, the riots came back much more energetic the day the interview had been released.

    ***

    Spy-Network:​

    The Church Of Eden is in anarchy. They are either trying to calm their congregations, screaming at each other, or get beaten up by adventurers/guards when they try something "sketchy." The adventurers seem to have an extensive definition of "sketchy." They seem to do it without you needing to incentivize them.

    The Common People feel a mix of emotions, anger at the COE riots, happiness at the end of the Crusade, and relief (literally) since the sewers finished. The sewers have been completed without much fanfare and under budget, as expected.

    The Mutated find the hypocrisy of the Bishop delightful. They are pleased about the Pilgrims, and ever more join your ranks since the marriage.

    Nothing like complimenting a heretic by a group of filthy mutant lovers.

    Hopefully by the end of it they will no longer be the dominant religion... or really, as heavily dominating as they were.

    And we got a crit on this action. Hopefully, we don't have to spend any more actions after this, after all any trail should have gone cold by the next turn.

    Not bad, even after upkeep we should still have around 30-40 Materials.

    And we didn't get any dice roll for the Starlight war, so...

    Yeah, it's finished and we get our volunteers back. They probably reached veteran status too. We might want to start planning for that tower clearing action.

    Nothing surprising here. We might want to look for more secrets though, in case the COE somehow reorganizes itself.
     
    Okay, I'm looking at the Rumour Mill and I have to ask: Was the Nat 1 for the CoE 'Manage this charlie foxtrot' action? Because it really seems like it was...
