Lights... Camera... ACTION!!: A Hollywood Quest

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Hi Magoose here one of the guys helping Duke.

So we have some bad news.

The quest has been canceled as duke does not want to write it anymore.

I'm going to ask if I can take over for it, because I like this quest, and it would be a shame to kill it
TBF, Mags, you have been doing a lot of the heavylifting for the quest, so this will be in good hands. :)

To be clear to everyone, this is just me burning out on imagination of the quest, since my muse has been hitting me over the head a lot with so many different ideas that I just can't find myself too interested in this.

I'll still hang out here, though, since this still does have a sepcial place in my heart.

I'd like to thank you all for making this a wonderful experience while it lasted.

I'd also like to thank @Magoose, @Fluffy_serpent, and @Martin Noctis for doing so much to help prepare and write this quest. I couldn't have done it without you all. :D

I'll see you all around.

With so many regards, Duke William Of.

And with this, the Plan with the Hong Kong thingy gets the lead (if you count the 3 suspected sock puppets that is)...

Well, it will certainly be interesting in not a good way, too much faith in the CIA and a paragraph that was not even written by the QM...
At least you have the Autopass this turn.

    ---[X] Given current state of affairs with Carrie and the twins, instead of traveling to business men in Hong Kong, invite them and their representatives to negotiate these sales in LA on your dime; you also plan on having Mike and your dad there to help with negotiations.

One thing I don't understand, aren't we supposed to be able to create campuses during Lucasfilm's mini improvement turn?
why spend an action on it then?
 
...in the future, I'd like us to hire on Andre Braugher, Captain Holt B99 and much, much more, for more Lucasfilm projects.

Man is a phenomenal actor and accomplished so much, so it saddens me to know that he passed away a few days ago.

We have the write-in option... So yeah definitely.
why spend an action on it then?
And why are we doing this ask Orion Ultor ... he still takes the " China might renounce to Macao and Hong Kong" that @Kaiser Chris wrote like an "China will definitively renounce to Macao and Hong Kong" and he assumes that the CIA even wants to step on the MI6 shoes in Hong Kong.

My goodness. What is appealing about that waste of money and time that is called a campus? This will end in disaster. And all of this due to highly sus activity.

Damn, didn't expect him to go of all people in 2023. R.I.P. Captain Holt...

On that note, I'd also like to grab Lance Reddick in the future as well.

It was attractive when were promised by WoG that it would make it so that Macao and Hong Kong would never return to China...

Now that we know it wasn´t WoG and that the intent of the one who wrote it was not that, the attractive becomes a resounding 0

I always interpreted that as the fringe of the fringe in the CCP discussing that maybe Hong Kong and Macao were too corrupted. But anyone who even has a shred of modern chinees historic knowlege knows that HK and MC were always going to be demanded by China. Even if they have to do the second cultural revolution.

[X] Plan Sad Goose Learning to Fly

...Honestly. The idea of convincing china that it isn't worth getting Hong Kong is probably gonna be a tough ask. Possibly on the scale of convincing the Star Wars Empire a planet isn't worth conquering.

Short of an end of the one china policy, the closest we are gonna get is them merely content to sit back, and let the threat of conquest hang over Hong Kong as they leave reunification perpetually on the docket.

It could happen, but it isn't going to happen without a major shakeup in China.

Edit:
I would t call it a waste of time.

But the reaction rolls will be well worth it
.....Now I am divided
