Something to consider for the Admiralty:
It kind of obliges us to take a Studying option at least five times in the next five months.

Sparing her had a total of around ~3700 words in stunts.
All the more reason to knuckle down and study, then!

Zao's political sway will do little to save you if you are revealed as Anathema for true. It's actually kind of useless in that regard. Also, a Satrapal Officer (or even governor) can delegate his duties however he likes! If your talent doesn't run in administration, all you have to do is find competent and trustworthy bureaucrats to manage that while you go off on safaris or whatever. Of course, that's not as easy as it sounds - not remotely - but neither is it impossible.
I wonder...

You don't even have Sail Favored! Seriously, you're not suited to be a captain at all. Maybe a really, really powerful marine. Or a one-man ship depopulator guy.
It's not just a matter of studying, it's a matter of XP expenditure.
Indeed. The others are not so reliant. You could save time, whereas employing Zao's leverage requires you to invest time.
Perhaps incorrectly! Operative would have a much easier time of finding Lea.
Very wise!

.....We don't know what happened to Syryns other than Zao probably interrogated her.The same Zao Rihaku said will likely just kill her after the interrogation unless "Ulyssian were there to talk him out of it or something."
.....
I'm going to be optimistic and say she's still alive and our side. She better fucking be.
Anyways I'm leaning toward operative and posting. It would be good to know that we wouldn't automatically lose the majority of the resources we gained in the Realm if our nature as an Anatema is ever revealed.
Undecided for Saery. Don't want to annoy Zao even more if we can help it
but she is our friend.
The West is the ocean place, so I have a feeling that's where the ocean army is predominantly stationed. If you wanted to go East you could choose to be an adventurer or take command of a Satrapy there.

You're not entirely off the mark. But you guys are going to have to be a lot more specific. Not just where vaguely, but specifically, and how - if you want the XP. But like I said earlier, this is explicitly an unfair test that you have no reason to be able to guess.

Wait. This is Ody we're talking about.
He disguised it as the places own funds. it's the most efficient thing, after all.

It's perfect! Webrowbeat ask Saery to come with us on our adventuring, and if she doesn't take it well there'll be plenty of tyrant lizards or Anathema or something to fail to save her from!

He disguised it AS Ambition and then stored it in his Anima?

I'm surprised the Admiralty is so popular. It does leverage Zao, but you are extremely mechanically unsuited for it compared to Operative or even House Sesus. Essentially you are relying on who you know rather that what you know, unless you guys really want to spend a lot of XP on Sail and Sail Charms over stuff like Better Listener.
Ulyssian doesn't have time to waste on that crap. He could be TRAINING!
And have you been a true friend to her?
But then how would you get it out?!

Still, if we're constantly deployed and far from the center of Immaculate power, it's harder for inquiries to be made. The risk of exposure is nowhere near what it would be as the head of House Sesus.
70,000 XP would suffice to push Sail up to 5. The Charms would be the really painful part, but a lot of Sail stuff is surprisingly broad in its potential applications...

Angry, angry about elves.
Optimally.
For were he is hiding the jade?
In his/nilul's anima.
Zao's office.
Buried in a seemingly random location.
Still inside of the Casino.

This option gives us large amounts of resources that won't vanish if we are outed and still allows us time to fuck off and do our own projects sometimes once we have subordinates in place. I bet we could grab Moon, and Nilul as subordinates. I imagine Nilul would live to be the ruler of a major court and hide from her father under our coattails at the same time.
What is Zao's and Ivory's view on telling Saery? Is having her as an ally in on the plan worth the risk to them?

Also, did he hide the winnings inside a secret compartment within Ambition, and then stored Ambition away in his anima?

Not really, but somewhat warmer and also colder? What he did is mechanically possible to do in the Exalted system, it doesn't require improvisation really.
And the rewards are commensurately lower! In many cases, anyway.
70,000 is no small sum, that's nearly two Evocations! And yes, Sail has some extremely useful Charms, but it's only remotely Charm-efficient if you're going to be actually using their pre-requisites, and you don't even have it Favored! That means longer training time, more XP, and fewer Charms per Essence level!

Because it's the biggest possible prize to be scored. Don't you guys want the potential challenge? What did we buy all those disguise Charms for, if not for this? We're much better suited for this than we are for the Admiralty.

Don't see a need, honestly.

Zao will of course say no. Ivory says some tripe about following your heart, you're not sure if Pearl's serious. Fucking Pearl.
No, the amount of jade we're talking here is bigger than Ambition's raw size. It's like, a daiklave-sized amount of jade.
As for getting his winnings out, did Uly convert it to jade, glue it together, and carry it out as a fake dailkave? Or did he intimidate the former casino owner dude into hauling it off to one of his Accursed stashes?
Edit: I had this idea before you mentioned the daiklave!

Please let Syryns still be alive and on our side.
I would like to remind everyone that we need to keep in mind what would happen if we're ever revealed as Anathema which could happen.
Especially since the Bromze Factions knows for a fact we are and are trying
to expose.
We might have less scrunity now but they are still plotting against us and you never know if they get lucky and do expose us. Even Odyissial fell.
Our choice needs to take in consideration of what could happen if our Anathema status is revealed.
