Turn 9: You were not expecting to Pull out Arizona, but she is a very helpful addition to your non-existent Navy. On another hand, Macon had decided to do an Overhead spotting of Oahu to see if we missed anything, and it turns out we did miss something. A memorial to the Pacific theatre that is positively crawling with human souls. This could be useful... (Discovered Memorial. Memorials are large concentrations of Human souls that can be used to gain large amounts of powerful and competent gremlins. However, it cannot be used forever, and once it's used up, you will need to find a new one. Stats: Adds +50 to all gremlin success rolls, d20 for actual recruits is turned into d100 and any number under 50 is re-rolled. 3/3 uses of Memorial remaining.)
RER: 76 (Good small result! In the survey, Macon also found a small cache of resources for you to use. +10 Material.)
