The moments in between

"Yes," Lagann agrees, "The root cause is the most important aspect. If we can find that, we can discern if and how it can be copied."

[Corwin]

"Sounds like you're doing alright, then. What do you need to make things go faster?"

[Anastasia]

"Time," Lagann admits bluntly, "Some exotic specimens to study would help, too.

[Corwin]

"We're too busy currently to quest for them, so how about you requisition those specimens from Brightwater? Waukeen will help us out so long as we pay properly."

[Anastasia]

"I will, then," Lagann says, "For the short term, we'll have a warbeasts with enhanced size to field."

[Corwin]

Seira gives him a thumbs up!

Lagann can requisition Cauldron funds to make this progress faster and smoother. How much does he need?

[Anastasia]

45k.

[Corwin]

Done! Posted in loot.

Let's inquire about the Balmuria uplift next. My agent on that Prime, Laurenal Smythe, will be called upon to see how things go.

[Anastasia]

Before that, give me a d100 as a result of that expenditure. This is a good roll, possibly, nothing can go wrong even with a bad roll.

[Corwin]

Sure

21:38 <Seira> roll 1d100
21:38 <Penuche> Seira invokes Penuche's magic: < 90 > [d100=90]

[Anastasia]

You shortly after get a message from Lagann.

"Good news," he says, "We called in a favor and only had to spend 38,500 instead, so it shouldn't be as big an expense."

[Corwin]

"Nice!"

[Anastasia]

Go ahead and update loot with the revised total.

"Early results are promising as well, but it will take time," Lagann adds.

[Corwin]

Edited

"I understand. Let me know when there's any progress, because I have another exciting research project lined up for you~"

[Anastasia]

"My Lady," Is the answer as your servant kneels, "Matters go well. With recent events there is less opposition and our word spreads freely."
