I don't even know how well my plan is going… Which means it's going according to plan.
Bit of a hiccup with Suzaku. Expected. She won't play until war is at the door. That, too, is expected. Which is why I left what I have for her.
Genbu is chomping at the bit to flay and slay…. Something. I am still unraveling exactly what she is a part of. Probably my most powerful queen actor - but wrapped in layers of shroud and shadow to the extent I simply do not know. She seems, however, to be locked into quite the argument and dispute among people who very obviously have influence and speak with a hell of a lot of authority while wearing symbolism that makes autists ree and dig. Unfortunately, I can't endanger my queen by releasing autists onto the board… And many board features are available only to those who have an account. The casual guest observer has a very limited window into the rabbit hole I am privy to.
That… Or it's a hell of a drama club.
Anyway … Byakko is on overwatch. Doing her thing.
Seiryu is making like a tree and growing. She's hiding an even bigger role from me - but that is as it needs to be.
I am about to start into a project that most Anons will appreciate. For a very long time, capital wealth has held immense sway over manufacturing and construction. While capital and asset wealth will always play large roles in economics, it is my goal to detach capital wealth from the concept of manufacturing. Much as the internet detached capital wealth from the concept of education and teaching.
Originally, the plan had been to seize the assets necessary to bring this to fruition under the hellfires of a civil war where I could simply salvage/plunder my way to a new nation. This would no longer appear necessary, and I can divert my efforts from military innovations to more domestic varieties.
Because of Q, my role and that of my queens has changed. He's a better wielder of the Sword of Damocles. I was born a bit late and am a bit too impatient to do much more than blow up things in my way. I'll defer to him on the application of force.
