Character Actions

Colony

• Dark: Does stuff on either Grazene or Krescht, depending on how much trouble Seve has gotten himself into. (If Krescht, he will work on getting an alliance going or at least help with the new barracks coming on Arroyo. He also wants to pick brains about military events and maybe get a comm line going where they could get an alert if a major player is up to something destabilize Krescht's interests.) (If Grazene, Dark will probably fly in and shoot stuff.)
• Jude: Flew back to Elvis on the Ex-Terminated.
• Rick: Explores a mysterious tower and outbuildings in the middle of a fire swamp.
• Kyil: Operation Herald Recruitment Phase 2: The Bait. Kyil is placed in a position of some authority at the newly-built Orogen Emporium and stages several public disagreements with people on the Planetary Council about how nobody respects him and this place is horrible and cold, etc. etc. He also sneaks in and censors the report from Elvis that he was arrested and deported from Elvis back a few turns ago (which just happens to be sent over to Vefna this turn).
• Seve:

Imperial Core

• Tesher: Does a job for Nif@x and is given a field promotion
• Reig: publicly sponsors Brother Janus's mother to be able to get the treatment she needs, and lets slip that Tesher's contact was the guy the Heralds wanted to be the next Oracle.
• Silentus: Launders the heist money and uses 1Mc of it to purchase a Psychic Disruptor (which he disguises as some convenient non-suspicious accessory, such as a toupee).
• (NPC) Basinbloke: If it's ready, puts up the 'get money from Gwyne' bill up for a vote.

Results

In this final turn of Act 2, things continue to move along smoothly. Building and research goes on as usual; a new mercantile region is established on Vefna and immediately starts selling things, while Hrobaj's mining region is excavated from the rubble and becomes operational and the Chemical refinery on Elvis is upgraded.

Silentus re-emerges with a stash of funds totally unconnected to a heist on House Krazybuys, and also not possessing a personal psychic disruptor. The funds are added to the colony's bank account.

KANE and the Lewison Clarks explore the Siderian region, finding a few additional sources of mammoth and frozen gas, neither especially useful in its new mercantile role. The StarLight Survey Squad similarly explores the Donbique Rule Region and finds some sources for metals, and also a mysterious cache amidst the ruins of a burned-out cluster of buildings. Finally, Raphael Helsing helps clear rubble in the Veritas region but finds mostly things the homesteaders already knew about.

And finally, back at the empire, profitable news! Basingbloke and the Reeft diplomat push through the Gwyne reparations bill, seizing much of Gwyne's assets and handing them off to more deserving parties. More details on this later.
