DIPLOMACY

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 World Congress
  • Although they’ve stepped down from their voting duties, the Congress is still the elected voice of the world that you now lead. With the voluntary suspension of debating policy, they now have far more time to dedicate to their constituencies then you do and are a potential gold mine of information and experience, if you can win their confidence.
• Holdout Administration
  • Marcus has identified the people within the bureaucracy who appear to be the centre of the distributed web that is resisting your overtures. You’ve no skill in that arena, but he’s pointed out that it was in large part your direct involvement boosting their spirits that let him find the agents. Kazuki doesn’t particularly like it, he feels it could compromise your integrity, but you can try.

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.

• Starlit Allegro
  • The concerts and speeches were a resounding success, exhausting and exhilarating at the same time. It gave your name a human weight so unlike what’s normally ascribed to Potentials. Kazuki is overjoyed, but also tells you that there’s more you can do. Earth saw you last year, now he wants the people of the scattered habitats to get the same chance.

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.

Project Harmony: Practiced Miracles are the result of joint Trances, a process that you believe allows a group of Potentials to widen the lens through which they project their power to include all of their Focuses. Vega has an understanding of this process far more advanced than she should, which is one of the reasons you believed her. Now you’re going to give her the chance to build on it.

• Hey, Listen!
  • Lab work and teaching are good ideas, but they’re not thinking big enough. Assign Vega to lead the Potential involvement with one of your new projects, and then just let what happens happen.

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.
• Powerful Echoes
  • You’ve become steadily more convinced over the years that there is something deeper hiding in what Potentials can do, some ability to touch concepts and influence metaphysics in a way that is terribly hard to understand. You’ve reached for it before, see if you can find it again, and hold onto it this time.
