The Seven Seals above Texas.

I'd rather spend that directly preparing for the oncoming storm.

What's coming our way isnt going to stop at individual fields, I dont think we have time to bring this up from grassroots.

At bare minimum, I'd say suborn the Texas NatGuard, but ideally we turn the nations military industrial complex against threats to our fellow man.
 
Palisade project?

Also, why the fuck would we make deals with that prick?
Right, talked about it a while back but generally the Drill works by doing a burst of magic followed by a regional anti magic effect. Palisade is a version of the Drill focused entirely on the regional anti magic effect. I was planning on selling it to the coalition in England but they died. Could probably still sell it to them but we'd also want some for our own purpose.

his grip on this world is but a finger hold and among the Divines he is but a small fish. However his knowledge of magic and basic god stuff could be extremely useful. We have a lot of leverage over him and he could have a lot to give us so we should hash out terms and make it so we aren't working at cross purposes. Either that or find out we are unable to work with him so we take his followers to an unmarked grave in the middle of the desert, remove the marks on the churches and bulldoze his shrine.

So, now the turn has come...
What does everyone think about using development knowledge on the PMC?
I'm thinking either some investment (3 development knowledge) or a big investment (9 development knowledge).
Gonna do 3 unless there is a consensus that that is too much, or most of the thread wants to go full 9.
(Its a shared resource and i don't want to hog most of it unless there is agreement)

Big Investment, We still have whatever is in the seal rooms and waiting on the other side to deal with.

Speak for yourself, I happen to be a patriot.

We did take over the Texas government. Having a backup Plan for the Feds is just a good idea.
 
[X] Play as many cards as you want and redraw up to max hand size.
-[X] Movement 1 / Magic 1 : Your last magic ritual affected you in more ways than some might think, so you going on a vacation to de-stress, and of course you will take one of your company mascot plushies with you cause after it saved you life it also deserves a vacation.
-[X] Ritual Studies : While you are vacationing give the Divine Department the task of fusing a Ritual with our mascot plushies so that they may better serve the company.
 
[X] Convince the Texas Nation Guard to attack the hostile FOB.
-[X] Spin a propaganda narrative where we blame our crimes in the region (murdering cops, Intimating politician's, ects) on them.
-[X] Due to the rival companies use of magic bring in "Consultants" from our PMC and Divine department to aid in the assault and gain knowledge about our rival's magical abilities and defenses.

Did not see that FOB earlier and that thing has got to go. If we're lucky the raid works and we get all their swag while the Government is left with the price tag. If not we gain knowledge about what the enemy is bringing to the field. Also nothing like a little propaganda to make their lives a bit more difficult.
 
[X] Open lines of non-public communication (This absolutely falls under National Security) with Congress and the White House, to share what has been learned with the now far more effective and well meaning DC created by the empowerment of our nations ideals.
-[X] Specifically, warn that we may be looking at an apocalyptic event, and that the nation, as the epicenter of these events, must stand ready if we are to survive, or even benefit, the changes coming.
-[X] The seals will break, this cannot be stopped. Not even by us, but when and how things happen can potentially be controlled.
--[X] "Personal note, I had no idea what the fuck I signed up for when I bought shares. But god help me I am a patriot, and I will do anything in my power to help my nation through the crisis we inadvertently caused. My influence is limited, but what I have belongs to Uncle Sam."

before I continue my readthrough after the opener, I just want to share that unfortunately, the images here have broken due to discord not being a file hosting platform, and having changed how they allow things to be linked offsite.
I recommend FileGarden, an image hosting platform that exists to help MSPFAs host their comic's images. For the uninitiated an MSPFA is like a quest / is a type of quest / a type of webcomic owing itself to the homestuck sphere, interactive or not. On that site are hundreds of art quests from the last decade and then some, for reference.
Imgur, or other filehosts, would also be a good option.

[X] We have gotten such a surge of development knowledge, that we could go further than just recruiting agents… we could begin the establishment of a PMC.
-[X] Use 3 development knowledge.
-[X] The PMC is to work on the companies interests.
-[X] Spare capacity not used for above can be used for mercenary work as paranormal-problem solvers for entities not working against the company, as long as this doesn't reveal company capabilities that are supposed to be secrects.
-[X] The PMC can work as in between to obfuscate the divinity department. (Example: If an agriculture company tries to hire the PMC to protect its fields from supernatural hail and our divinity department is capable of that, the PMC can accept the contract given these conditions: It does not leak company secrets (-> we are okay with revealing our company is capable of working to prevent the hail), the divinity department can do that work in secret (to outsiders its: PMC gets money, hail is prevented), its a net positive for us (we get more funds for the contract than we need to fulfill it))
-[X] The PMC co-operates with the Divinity Department to create magic (and anti-magic) equipment and other capability boosters for the PMC.

Many Thanks, That website looks to be extremely useful and will be in the long future if I keep questing after this quest. Many thanks and welcome to Texan Quest.
