A Good Day

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is more than 0. Haven leader is female and haven is not starving.

Exarch [HavenLeaderSurname] of [HavenName] is offering a trade: building materials in exchange for food. The haven isn't starving, but there's a big festival coming up and supplies are inadequate for what she's imagining.

"Look, if I may be honest for a second," she says. "Call me [HavenLeaderForename], by the way. So, look, this isn't really about religion. We just need a good day, you know? Just one really good day to give everyone hope."

Agree to the trade (-120 Food)

"Thank you! Thank you very much!" [HavenLeaderForename] says with a big smile. "Thanks to the Phoenix Project, the people of [HavenName] will have a feast to remember! And if I'm right, that will give them enough strength to keep going for a while longer. Not forever, but... maybe until we win this war."

FOOD +200, Disciples of Anu's attitude to Phoenix Project +5, Haven Leaders attitude to Phoenix Project +12

"Thank you! Thank you so very much! Your generosity is astounding," [HavenLeaderForename] says with a big smile. "Thanks to the Phoenix Project, the people of [HavenName] will have a feast to remember! And if I'm right, that will give them enough strength to keep going for a while longer. Not forever, but... maybe until we win this war."

Refuse the trade

"That's all right," the Exarch says. "I understand that the Phoenix Project has its own priorities."

Haven Leaders attitude to Phoenix Project -5.

Careful Now

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is more than 0.

Things at [HavenName] are a little unsettled; a recent visit from the Shadowed Hierarch resulted in the previous Exarch disappearing overnight. Our operatives are greeted formally, with great attention paid to each necessary ritual.

After the rituals are concluded, the inhabitants present our operatives with gifts.

Accept the gifts

"These things were captured on the battlefield. We hope they shall be of use to you," the Skeuophylax says as a crate is delivered to our vehicle.

Player receives 2 New Jericho Assault Rifles (+3 ammo) and 1 New Jericho Machine Guns (+2 ammo).

Decline the gifts

We have gravely offended the people of [HavenName]. The Shadowed Hierarch shall hear of this.

Convictions

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is more than 0.

One of the Anu soldiers at [HavenName] is asking to join the Phoenix Project. He's been an admirer of our organization ever since hearing about it when he was a child, and now that it's more than just a legend, he wants to do his best to contribute to our cause.

"I've been training ever since I heard the Phoenix Project was back," he says. "You know, I never believed all the lies they told about you. If the governments of the old world had supported you when it mattered... well, I guess it is what it is. But I want to help."

Recruit him

Conditions: New Jericho's attitude to Phoenix Project is lower than +25.

The soldier grins. "I... I get to join the Phoenix Project? Wow. The Exalted must have blessed me in my sleep. I can't believe this is happening!"

Player receives one Berserker soldier.

Tell him his haven needs him

It's hard for him to accept, but probably true. The haven needs every good soldier it can get, especially with how things have been going lately.

Haven Leaders attitude to Phoenix Project +8

Reject him as a filthy mutant

Conditions: Disciples of Anu's attitude to Phoenix Project must be lower than +25 for this option.

The soldier is crushed not only by the rejection, but by the realization that the Phoenix Project could harbor such prejudice. He spits on the ground before heading back into the haven.

Disciples of Anu's attitude to Phoenix Project -3, Haven Leaders attitude to Phoenix Project -25.

Cut Off

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is more than 0. Haven leader is male.

The inhabitants of [HavenName] welcome our operatives with smiles and questions about the outside world. It appears their long-range communications equipment has been malfunctioning for some time, and they know very little about what's been going on recently.

Inform them about the current situation

Exarch [HavenLeaderSurname] is pleased that we have chosen to share our information but saddened that things have not gotten better. To thank us, he offers some of the haven's food supply.

FOOD +240, Disciples of Anu's attitude to Phoenix Project +3 and Haven Leaders attitude to Phoenix Project +10.

Help them fix their communications systems (-20 Tech)

Exarch [HavenLeaderSurname] is extremely pleased. He commends us to the Dead God and his true prophet, the Exalted. There are many here who have family in other havens, he says, and they will finally be able to speak to their loved ones again, all thanks to the Phoenix Project. He asks his people to reward us generously.

FOOD +240, Disciples of Anu's attitude to Phoenix Project +5 and Haven Leaders attitude to Phoenix Project +15.

Convince them things are even worse than they think

Horrified by our exaggarated tales, the people of [HavenName] retreat to their homes to pray to the god who seems to have abandoned them.

Disciples of Anu's attitude to Phoenix Project -3 and Haven Leaders attitude to Phoenix Project +12.

Epic Poetry

At [HavenName], a young poet is making a name for himself. Inspired by the teachings of the Exalted, he has written an epic in verse that is the part spiritual vision of the future, part guide to letting go of the old world. Despite the heavy subject matter, it's easy to read and entertaining, even humorous. Humankind's flaws are explained in ways that get loud laughs from audiences, and there is an overall feeling of hope.

The poet would like to produce a beautiful printed edition of the work as a present for the Exalted, but the haven leadership is less than enthusiastic, insisting that the only thing really worth reading is the Gospel of the Exalted, so he has turned to us for help.

Let's get it printed (Tech -10 and Materials -15)

The end product of our efforts may not match the truly great editions of the past, but given present circumstances, it's a huge success. The young poet thanks our operatives with tears in his eyes; he never thought he would get to create something so beautiful. The Exalted will be pleased.

Tell him to ask his people for support

The Phoenix Project shouldn't be getting involved in this issue, but if the people of [HavenName] really love his poetry so much, they should force their leadership to change its ways. That is the spirit of democracy.

Synedrion's attitude to Phoenix Project +3 and Haven Leaders attitude to Phoenix Project -6.

Condemn this sick filth

Condition: Disciples of Anu's attitude to Phoenix Project must be lower than +25.

This isn't poetry, it's religious propaganda disguised as art. The Phoenix Project will not support the spread of dogmatic beliefs that ultimately benefit the Pandoravirus.

New Jericho's attitude to Phoenix Project +4, Disciples of Anu's attitude to Phoenix Project -3, Synedrion's attitude to Phoenix Project -3 and Haven Leaders attitude to Phoenix Project -5.

Don't get involved

Not getting involved is exactly what the [HavenName] leadership expected of us.

Haven Leaders attitude to Phoenix Project +10.

Exposure

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is lower than -25.

At [HavenName], an engineer approaches our operatives, begging them for help.

"I need to get out of here as quickly as possible," he says. "Please! They're going to expose me to the damn virus, I know it. I thought... I guess I thought they knew what they were doing. Adapting to the new world, you know? But they treat people like cattle. Doesn't matter what happens to individuals so long as it's part of the Exalted's grand plan. It's terrifying. I have tech I can share if you help me get as far away as possible from these lunatics."

Help him join Synedrion

The priests at [HavenName] will be furious that a potential future Skeuophylax has escaped them, but it's clear that we've done the right thing for this person.

Help him join New Jericho

The priests at [HavenName] will be furious that a potential future Skeuophylax has escaped them, but it's clear that we've done the right thing for this person.

TECH +40, New Jericho's attitude to Phoenix Project +3, Disciples of Anu's attitude to Phoenix Project -3 and Haven Leaders attitude to Phoenix Project -7.

Don't help him

The Phoenix Project is a science organization, not a taxi service.

Faith in Transformation

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is more than 50.

Exarch [HavenLeaderSurname] greets our operatives in the name of the Exalted and the Dead God, wishing them long life and the achievement of biological perfection.

"It is fortunate that you have chosen to follow the path of the Disciples," he says. "I believe your choice was a turning point for our faith, a moment that will be remembered and celebrated by generations to come."

To help us achieve our common goals, he orders the citizens of the haven to contribute to our cause. Accept

The citizens gladly gather all they can spare. To them, the Phoenix Project is as much part of the Exalted's vision as Taxiarch Nergal or the Blind Legate. It would seem that we have become figures of legend.

TECH +60, MATERIALS +120, FOOD +150.

Faithless

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is less than -25.

At [HavenName], our operatives are approached by an apostatical Anagnostes.

"I've been living a lie for too long," she says. "I have little faith in the Exalted and none at all in the Synod of Yearning. That triple-faced freak is nothing more than a monster in a fancy robe, and I'm tired. If you help me get out of here, I'm willing to sell you all the research data I've been working on."

Help the Anagnostes (-15 Tech)

The Anagnostes feels no guilt handing over information that is supposed to be part of the Sacred Mysteries; as far as she's concerned, they're neither sacred nor particularly mysterious.

Research +80, Disciples of Anu's attitude to Phoenix Project -2, Haven Leaders attitude to Phoenix Project -6.

Do not help

The Phoenix Project is a science organization, not a taxi service.

Feed the Hungry

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is more than 0. Haven has a Food production facility.

Lately, the inhabitants of [HavenName] have been struggling to produce enough food for the entire population; despite their best efforts, the Field of Transubstantiation is not growing properly. Their Anagnostes, who would normally find the source of such a problem, is unfortunately away on a pilgrimage. They plead for our help.

Investigate the problem (-10 Tech, -30 Materials)

After a few experiments, our operatives determine that the problem lies with an unknown microorganism that has infested the haven. Its metabolic waste includes several derivatives of cinnamic acid, which inhibit growth in the fungi the Disciples grow for food.

Disciples of Anu's attitude to Phoenix Project +3, Haven Leaders attitude to Phoenix Project +15.

Refuse the request

Exarch [HavenLeader] expresses sadness at our choice, but promises to pray for us to the Dead God.

Folk Heroes

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is more than 25. Disciples of Anu's attitude to Phoenix Project must be between 25 and 50.

The inhabitants of [HavenName] are pleased to see our operatives. They believe that the Phoenix Project could help humanity achieve its next evolutionary step and so withstand the Pandoravirus. They're glad that we have joined their cause and gained the blessing of the Keeper of the Threshold. Even greater things await us, they assure our operatives.

To make sure we don't go hungry while saving the world, they share some of their food with us. Thank them "You will always be welcome in [HavenName]," an old woman tells our operatives. "Not just because the hierarchy supports you, but because ordinary people believe in you. They even tell stories about you! You will help realize the vision of the Exalted."

FOOD +360

From the Shadows

Conditions: Disciples of Anu's attitude to Phoenix Project must be higher than 60.

At [HavenName], our operatives are surprised to find a package waiting for them. It contains highly valuable electronic parts and a note from the Shadowed Hierarch: "Thought these might come in handy with some of the issues you've been having recently. Remember: the Exalted has a plan, and that's more than can be said about anyone else."

According to the locals, the Hierarch passed through weeks ago, so it's unclear how he knew our operatives would come here.

Accept the gift

Resources are resources, and we need all the help we can get. Even if there's something unsettling about the Shadowed Hierarch and all the things he seems to know.

TECH +160

Reject it

We don't need gifts from unpredictable shadow figures. This feels too much like being manipulated.

Haunted

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is more than 0, Disciples of Anu's attitude to Phoenix Project must be between 0 and 75.

At [HavenName], the atmosphere is subdued. A massive caravan of refugees from the fallen haven of Balarama Bridge has just arrived, and many of them are still shaken by the disaster that claimed hundreds of lives. The priests are busy tending to the injured, but they are afraid that many will die in the next few days. "The human body is imperfect," one of the priests sighs. "But it's not only external injuries that claim lives. Memories, too, can kill, when kindness is in short supply."

Contribute resources to help the refugees (-40 Materials, -50 Food)

With our help, the refugees can start rebuilding their lives under the protection of the Disciples. They are still deeply traumatized by what they went through, but the teachings of the Exalted give them hope, and they express their gratitude to the Phoenix Project.

Offer thoughts and prayers

A passing Hiereus quotes the Gospel of the Exalted, chapter four: "Here were written all the names of all the faiths that had misled Man, promising salvation in the future world, yet offering nothing in the world of flesh. Yet Man knew in his heart that it was the flesh that was corrupt, and it was there that the healing must begin."

Population +1405

Offer resources in exchange for guarantees that the refugees will be granted religious freedom (-40 Materials, -30 Food)

"None shall be brought to the Dead God by force," a priest assures our operatives. "But those who do not follow the path of the Exalted, who refuse the wisdom of the Synod of Yearning, cannot receive the divine blessings, and will never attain perfection."

Ask Synedrion for assistance

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is more than 0, Synedrion's attitude to Phoenix Project must be higher than 10. Attitude between Synedrion and Disciples of Anu must be more than -10 from both sides.

A representative from Synedrion agrees that it would be appropriate to forget about whatever differences exist between Synedrion and the Disciples in order to help these refugees. Our common humanity is all we have, after all, even if we can't quite agree on what to do about it.

Idols

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is more than 0.

[HavenName] claims to be the birthplace of the Apostle to the Once-Born, the missionary-like figure sent to bring foreign havens into the Anu fold. Although there is no real proof of this in any of the canonical texts, Exarch [HavenLeaderSurname] has decided to build a massive statue to honour the Apostle. All that's lacking is the right materials to build it with. Exarch [HavenLeaderSurname] is prepared to offer us a really good deal if we can help him. This is a one-time offer.

Trade materials for food (-35 Materials)

Exarch [HavenLeaderSurname] is highly pleased by the deal we have struck, promising that the Phoenix Project will be credited on the plaque that will be attached to the statue's pedestal.

Reject deal

Exarch [HavenLeaderSurname] is disappointed by our lack of appreciation for the Apostle to the Once-Born and all that he or she has done for the world.

Haven Leader’s attitude to Phoenix Project -6.

Inner Workings

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is more than 0, Disciples of Anu's attitude to Phoenix Project must be higher than 10.

The Anagnostes of [HavenName] would like to ask our operatives some questions about their experiences in the field. In exchange for this information, she is willing to share a copy of the Book of the Inner Workings, a compilation of scientific insights produced under the guidance of the Shadowed Hierarch.

Agree

The list of questions is surprisingly long, delving into a huge variety of minute details, from types of mushrooms observed in ruined buildings to when and where rations are consumed. None of it's classified information, and not much of it seems that useful, but the Anagnostes is satisfied and gives our operatives a copy of the promised book.

Refuse

We don't have time for this. The Anagnostes will have to find her information somewhere else.

Maps of the Earth

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is more than 0.

The Anagnostes of [HavenName], formerly a professor of geography at a major university of the old world, is highly interested in the Phoenix Project and proposes an information exchange.

Exchange information

The world is changing rapidly, the Anagnostes says, and understanding the new shape it is taking on will be essential to the survival and evolution of humanity.

2 Scavenging sites and one Anu haven revealed.

Politely decline

The Anagnostes shrugs. "I'm sure you have your reasons," he says.

Not Dead Yet

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is more than 0, Disciples of Anu's attitude to Phoenix Project must be between 0 and 25.

At [HavenName], Exarch [HavenLeaderSurname] is greatly pleased to see our operatives.

"We had heard rumours that the Phoenix Project had been destroyed," she says. "That would have been a shame. There was not much about the old world that was good, but at least the Phoenix Project had the right intentions."

"Together," Exarch [HavenLeaderSurname] continues, "we may have a chance of building a future worth living in. And to that end, allow us to share some Anu's blessings with you." Accept

"May the Exalted show you the way to perfection," Exarch [HavenLeaderSurname] says with a smile. "As she did to me. Haven't gotten there yet, of course, but I'm working on it. That's what really matters."

Number One Fan

Conditions: Haven Leader's attitude to the Phoenix Project is more than 0, Disciples of Anu's attitude to Phoenix Project must be less than 25.

At [HavenName], our operatives are received warmly. It would appear that the local Skeuophylax, or Keeper of the Vessels, is a great admirer of the Phoenix Project. "I used to read all the conspiracy sites when there was an internet," he says. "Everyone else thought the Phoenix Project was evil or just a myth, but I always hoped it was real because an international science organization that fights aliens would just be so, so awesome. I mean, uh, such a thing would be like a blessing from the Dead God!"

Although he is not allowed to show our operatives the Hallowed Machines themselves, he takes the opportunity to share his insights and some of the devices he has built. Thank him

"Oh, it's nothing," he says. "I hope one day the Phoenix Project and the Disciples will be as one. Then we can work on all this cool stuff together. Oh, excuse me. I mean, we shall work on the Hallowed Machines in unison."
