Also, part of the reason the attention of Bai-Thos is drawn here is because the Golden Maw has been summoned to Earth. This is, in effect, a giant beacon to her. If we can discover the location of this (if it's indeed a physical thing) and how to destroy it, that could be extremely helpful as well. |
"I'm going to wildly speculate here, but I wonder if there is a way to reverse the draw of the beacon, or even cast it's light to another location, rather than smash it. We're not capable of defeating Bai-Thos right now, and we may not live to see humanity become capable. It may be wrong to think that we can keep this beacon around until our world is ready to strike back because it might get flipped on again before the world is ready. Then again I might rather have people just go and 'activate the existing beacon' rather than have their massive suicide ritual take place. It's also a problem if through redirecting the emanations from the beacon it sends Bai-Thos to some unsuspecting world with its own star. Maybe I'm overthinking it and we should just try to smash it, though it may exist in multiple forms. I could easily see it being physical and astral and possibly in the underworld."

I'm going to be looking into accessing Canadian seals and resources.
The obvious advantages of more seals on our side outweighs (in my mind) the slightly low chance of quick success.
But heck, we've learned so much about the seals recently that I might be able to find a cool, tricky way to achieve at least limited success. |

I imagine Candian seals to be more passive, accomodating, and downright glad to see you. _________________ "Without order nothing can exist - without chaos nothing can evolve." |

I have a personal request.
Would someone be so kind as to research where the original "Stars & Stripes" is presently located?
Many thanks

| Do we have the knowledge we need to oppose Chalithac in the fall? Buttercup's research on the Canadian seals will help. Maybe we could look into how to get to the NYC seal? Or one of the other ones? |

I be personally continuing th' research t' oppose Chalithac, we just be at a bit of a bottleneck 'cause we needs all th' Seals t'gether first, so I knows how t' personalize th' ritual: a ritual wit' th' Great Seal will be a bunch diff'rent than th' one without it, possibly. Either way, I'm researchin' in t' it.
We gots leads on how to get t' all o' th' Seals not directly controlled by Chalithac, includin' New York -- Toma will be gettin' us t' that one himself. Better notes of it can be here at th' Current State o' th' Seals post.
I hopes this was useful! _________________ "Always have a plan, never rely on it."

| Yeah, I read that. So you think the research on the seals and the ritual is under control and we don't need anything specific at this time? |

I know tha' th' ritual will be fair complex, an' once we get more information, it might take more researchers, but I don't know how much more can be done on it at this point -- a bunch o' th' research didn't work as well as hoped just 'cause we don't have access t' enough info on th' Seals yet.
I put in a reqest t' get access t' th' Project Chimera information on th' subject t' th' President -- hopefully that'll help enough t' get th' ball rollin'. _________________ "Always have a plan, never rely on it."

There are a few routes I could take this summer:
* Continue my (surprisingly effective!) research on mid-level to advanced Willworking. (Yes, it's been determined that the work I am doing is not identical to the recent findings of another member of Temple. And, we could find surprising resistance to Glamour or Nightmare magics, as well as more advanced healing.)
* Assist Cordelia in her work trying to cure Connor. (This is arguably the most selfish route I could take.)
* "Something else."
Are there any suggestions or requests?

Sorry, I've been distracted by things. I'm helping Doc Sue out by studying the tools that got looted from the repair drones at the last gathering. If they survive the process, they might be useful to other folk in Geek Squad. I'll keep you posted on their condition. _________________ IC: Jonah Dawning

this is personal an may be solveable by talkin' to knowledgeable folk, but I need a way to pin someone down when they try to sidestep in space/time. obviously this is far less important than, you know, survivin' the children and all, but this guy is likely goin' to be tryin to kill me (I'm very popular), and I'd really like to not die and, you know, be able to hit him and stuff.
before there is asking or speculation:
Yes this is a Do Sha Kaa
No, I didnt pick this fight (but it is personal)
and this will not offend any of our allies, this guy is rogue.
also, for those of you guys that were helpin' skye in the past, this is one of the two responsible for the children bein' kidnapped. this is a capital letter Not Nice Guy.
