The Pre-Emptive Retaliation: Firestorm Class Frigate

		The Abyss dodged every shot and is now charging, the Basilisk needs reloading, and we’re fucked.
	Phase 3: Reload and fire real fucking fast, cause shit son, this is bad. [1/50, Flawless Victory]

Companions: The Boss: Power Draw, Master (100): Strength
Plan: Conquer Calradia by using espionage, political manipulation, and Emperor’s Mercy Bars.
	Phase 1: Rob the personal treasuries of all kings except for King Ragnar, thus implicating him in the thefts. [26/85, Critical Success]
We took everything that wasn’t too heavy to lift. The amount of shared wealth stolen could fund an army here for ages.  But did they take the bait? [38/66, Pass]
			Played like a violin.
	Phase 2: Now that alliances of five kingdoms are picking on poor Ragnar, the team needs to split into two. I will be traveling around, making friends and winning tournaments for acclaim, while The Boss and Master shall recruit mercenaries and train them in our headquarters, a former bandit’s den.
		Right to Rule: [45/99]
			The populace is split. A very controversial issue.
		Renown: [638/1200]
			Then again, half of the populace doesn’t know of me. An interesting conundrum.
	Phase 3: The five on one free for all has undoubtedly ended. While Master trains our ever growing number of soldiers, I change my game plan to earn affection with the honorable nobles and peasantry, while The Boss tries to trick the five nations into war as they squabble over their newly won land.
		Future Vassals Gained: [35/50]
Some haven’t lost faith in their kings as of yet, but the honorable men from the Nords are willing to join me, and a few others would pledge their allegiance if I ask for it.
		Chances of War: [42/85, Success]
The hatred among these kingdoms runs deep. Pushing them into a fight was all too easy.
		Right to Rule: [84/99]
The peasants love me. Turns out, many of the illnesses that run in their communities is due to a lack of essential nutrients and Emperor’s Mercy Bars fill all dietary needs, despite their disgusting taste. We passed it off as medicine, gave it out for free, and now I’m loved.
	Phase 4: Now that the remaining kingdoms are weakened, time to spark insurrection. While The Boss continues her espionage work, this time falsifying war reports to keep the kingdoms off me as I claim the land of the Nords for myself. [22/70, Success]
I’ve got to admit, I’m surprised my luck’s holding out. Anyway, I’ve got an army, vassals, and loyal peasants. All that’s left is the rest of Calradia.
	Phase 5: Conquer the rest of Calradia, while The Boss continues to manipulate and exploit the individual kings’ weaknesses to keep them divided until it is all too late. [20/55, Success]
Well, two things are official now. I am one lucky bastard, and the land of Calradia is united once more, under one banner. Mine.

Either way, Myrrah dies.
	Phase 1: Survive the Nexus while Master makes it to Azura. [26/50]
		Our sheer firepower, skill, and weaponry allow us to survive in these tunnels.
	Phase 2: Fight our way to Myrrah while Master tries his luck at biology.
		Master’s Progress: [45/100] The device will take just under two years to develop. It’s faster than normal, but still not fast enough.
		Fighting to the Front: [36/40] We’ve made it there in record time, using expert skills and no small amount of luck.
	Phase 3: Perform some reconnaissance to see what we’ll be dealing with.
		Her Entourage: [3/8] This day, it consists of her, her guard, and High Priest Skorge. Shouldn’t be too hard.
	Phase 4: Kill them all. [7/65]
		A walk in the park. As it turns out, we’re very good at killing.
From here on out, simply assist the COG in mopping up the survivors until the Imulsion Countermeasure Weapon is ready.
