**You know the power of music; it’s been a way of finding peace ever since you were a teenager. Kazuki knows it even better, and has prepared a series of events that will use it to bring the world together. The plan has you speaking at several, but apparently you’re singing at a few as well. You’re not sure how you feel about that, to be honest. | **You know the power of music; it’s been a way of finding peace ever since you were a teenager.

2105 - Turn 1
MILITARY
- (none)
DIPLOMACY
- Presidential Address
- It is a tradition older than democracy itself that a new leader speaks to their people on taking the reins of power and lays out plans for the future. In turbulent times, it gives people something to hold on to, and you know the importance of the mind and soul far better than most.
Those Behind the Curtain: The government is not just you and your cabinet. There are hundreds, thousands in fact, of others who take part in the process of keeping humanity stable. Recently they have been extremely overworked, and it wouldn’t be hard to arrange some social occasions to meet them and get to know the people who will be implementing your plans.
- The Bureaucracy
- The thousands who will be responsible for putting your decisions into action, it’s actually surprisingly small when compared to the governments of the old world. These are the people who have been most stressed by the sudden changes that came with the Pattern’s discovery, but also the most experienced in navigating EGOV ’s complex web.
Reach to the World: You’ve spent years trying to put the world back together, but even a Potential has limits. The Circles helped, but there’s more that can be done. A world united is a powerful thing, but you’ve already done most of the easy work. Now you have to work out the hard parts.
- Those of the Circles
- The Circles are present across all of human society, and you know that many of them see things as you do. They could give you a complete picture, although putting it all together could be difficult.
One World, One Heart: Kazuki has been far more personally exposed to the needs and desires of the people, and he has some suggestions for how to bring all closer together. He’s quite adamant about the need for them, and although you agree you can’t quite see how some of it is meant to work.
- The People Sing
- You know the power of music; it’s been a way of finding peace ever since you were a teenager. Kazuki knows it even better, and has prepared a series of events that will use it to bring the world together. The plan has you speaking at several, but apparently you’re singing at a few as well. You’re not sure how you feel about that, to be honest.
STEWARDSHIP
The Forge Although the Shiplords did not burn the Earth, they did destroy the vast majority of its orbital infrastructure and it took time to rebuild that without the ease of the First Secret. Much has been remade, but the humanity of the Second Secret had no great need for shipyards or war factories. If you are to create a force that can face the Shiplords, however, Earth must have them.
- The Lifeblood of War
- The sort of militarisation you’re going to need will require vast amounts of resources, and Earth is nearing the end of her vast supply. Fortunately, there are other places you can go in the solar system.
- Steel Wombs
- Most of humanity’s ships have been built on Earth, or in the few small berths that have been constructed since you returned to the stars. But for the war, you will need vessels far larger and more complex than anything humans have ever built. For that you’ll need a proper shipyard complex.
Amateurs study Tactics… You spent ten years of your youth rebuilding parts of the old world, and that included the meticulous infrastructure that has been badly damaged by a severe lack of proper maintenance. Surely you can do more to repair it now.
- Full Rebuild
- You’ve worked with the network on many occasions, and you know it rather well. Bringing some of your expertise to bear on this problem should allow you to do everything you need to at once.
Thera’s Mystery You know that Adriana is working on something on the side, she’s told you as much, but even now all she will tell you about it is what she’d need to make whatever it is useable. Something that should revolutionise the design process, if she’s to be believed. The fact that she’s been talking with Mary about it as well is something you are glad for and at the same time slightly terrified by. What to do…
- Overwhelming support
- If Mary has continued talking to her after she explained the idea, then it has to have merit. Throw every resource you can at the project. If she needs access to the entire distributed network, she’ll have it and more besides.
INTRIGUE
The Spider’s Web: EarthGov is a finely balanced web of competing interests, one that has been flung vastly out of balance by the discovery of the Pattern and your election as President. Your understanding of that web is rather lacking, however, and it’s been strongly suggested that you fix that.
- The Administration
- They’ve been thrown for a loop by your appointment far more than Congress, so it might be expected that they’d hold a few grudges. They also are the ones responsible for actually implementing policy, which makes their happiness with you much more important than you thought.
Know thy Enemy: The Shiplords are coming, you know that now, and if you are to be prepared you must know what they are truly capable of.
- Insight requires…Insight
- Most of Project Insight is only slowly becoming accessible to you, and the charitable part of you can understand why. Unfortunately, you need access to the resources of that project now.
LEARNING
The Neverending Journey: The pursuit of knowledge is an endless path, with no set beginning or end. Mary has been walking it since she was small, and has found only a few like her in that time. You count yourself lucky to be among them, even if you’ve fallen a little behind. Now she wants to do something with what they know.
- Bring it Together
- Expand the Ministry of Science to include these dedicated followers of knowing, allowing them to put all of their knowledge directly to work.
PRACTICE
- Soul Over Body
- The example of Marcus Romero shows the power of a Potential’s gift when yeared inwards, something only a few of the First have done to a similar degree. You’ve seen one side of a Potential’s power. This is another, and it bears exploring.
PERSONAL
- Singing Heart
- Music, particularly song, has always been an escape for you, a way to reconnect with yourself. You’ve also found it an excellent way to connect with a large number of people, but you’re not really sure about the concerts Kazuki seems to want you to be part of. Taking some time to practice properly should help.
