Revolutionary forces – do you mean The Umbrella Movement? I wonder if this World War is how Cyberpunk ended up becoming "Alien Postapocalypse". We know that the two shadows are different time periods of each other. Yes, the Umbrella Movement. They're dead. When we arrived tanks were literally crushing them in the street and we had to dodge machine gun fire to gtfo. The whole world is gearing up for nuclear war over it.

What is his sister’s name? Which of the hundreds of buildings in the Forbidden city is the Convent? As religion does not exist in most/all the zones we have been in, what is the Convent? Could someone expand on the comment re the site in Malaysia Re the keiretsu - I suspect someone with decent business knowledge/bureaucracy would be best to look into this.......... Sister & Malaysian medical site: That's all the information<blah> we got from the specifics of Rock's impressive hacking. Not sure if it included the *exact* building or religion in The Forbidden City. Going forward, you got some leads to work with. Pursuing one of those three routes may yield something of interest before bombs start dropping. I took a shot at it, but I missed my window. I'm just gonna chalk that one up as a loss and move on the next project in the pipeline, and that likely involves drugs, a sail boat, and some sheilas.

I figured out. All we need to do is spread a rumour that there is a lot of oil in Hong Kong/China and then the US will invade it. Then we side with the Americans and help them take over.

Man, I bust my ass to get a trump of HK to set us up for the long term, and then it implodes before I get a chance to use it...before I even get a chance to plan any exploration.
Wait have any of the realms we've visited not imploded?
...
Maybe it's us?

I made several trumps in HK. They are probably no longer useful either. Never fear, I will make more if I ever get back to Cyberpunk, then I will hand them out as I've been doing with other ones.
I guess Beastkin hasn't imploded yet?

Perhaps we should consider an end to the wandering. Just pick one realm and try to make the best of it?

Cyberpunk is the only one which has superhigh tech. I would really like to have access to it if possible.

Zin High Young’s Sister - Zin Cai. She was being held in an arcology in the new Forbidden City in Beijing. The guards, hired by her brother, all had an interesting symbol on their clothing which we did not recognise. They were all heavily “jacked up”.
We managed to “rescue” her by trump sketching her room (her guards had their own quarters nearby) and then using a Trump Gate to jump in at night, grab her and then jump back out. She is currently in the Australian Embassy.
We questioned her and found the following, though there might be more she can tell us if we ask the right questions. She appears to be fairly well educated but does not appear to speak English (or French for that matter). Mandarin is her primary language.
“All is becoming order. Horrible, pure order.”
She wishes to “restore the balance” and says to do so, one must meditate. Her heart is in the right place but she has no idea what is actually going on.
She told us her brother used to be a dear, sweet boy. He is no longer as he was. He was very ill and then hospitalised at the age of 15. Totally different after returning after a year. Apparently, he had read some “interesting” books prior to this. He would always wear were a red tie. Once, she jokingly said it looked like a great long tongue (reference to Nyarlathotep. We believe Zin High Young may be an avatar/servant of his) and he gave her a very odd look. It was like all of the joy had gone out the world. For the next two years, she kept her distance after which she joined The Eye (convent) to stay separated from him. There is too much order and dictatorship. “By contemplating The Eye, one may restore harmony.” She knew what he looked like before the incident but now she does not. She has a picture of him when he was 14 in her room but nothing after that. He has no friends, only people who do as he wishes. Any time he talks, they listen and do as he commands.
Her brother had been keeping her alive as it would be improper for him to let anything happen to her according to Chinese customs. He would lose face having her killed or letting her be killed. Her brother lives in the same arcology. Lots of bodyguards all jacked up etc. Heavily guarded at all times. They sweep for any danger before entering a new area, have assassins lying in wait, etc. She is uncertain but she suspects he may go to pay tribute to his parents and brother at a temple <address of the temple as well as their gravesites>.

Forgot to add this in as well.
Mainland China has invaded Hong Kong. Many people dead. Military are all over. Not sure how many civilians are still around. Extremely strict border control going from China to Hong Kong and vice versa, dog patrols etc.
A lot of different TV stations in China warning people that foreign insurgents are instigating riots and that they should be very careful of foreigners.

Is it possible we should just focus on creating/walking a Logrus? Maybe it doesn't really matter who Zin High Young is controlled by. With more patterns than Logrus, and considering how many DORA's have walked the Pattern, we're probably just fueling the Pattern each time we walk it and unbalancing things further. Maybe if we "balance things out" by creating a new Logrus, with one of the Eyes, things will start to balance, and whoever is controlling Zin High Young will simply leave?
The "too much order" stuff makes me think whoever is controlling Zin High Young may actually be an Amberite, rather than a disciple of Nyarlathotep... Amberites and Pattern represent order, and Nyarlathotep represents chaos.
The Sister seems to be against order, and against/afraid of her brother... is whatever controlling the brother actually an agent of chaos or order?

Unfortunately none of us are in the position to create a Logrus yet. Well, Joshua might be, but due to his recent demise he is not as strong as he once used to be. I'm working on my shape shifting abilities. Until I get better at that, I won't be of much use.
I'm not sure if any of the Amberites are responsible for this. I think it was because of whatever books he read, so now he is going around "bringing order" to everyone and everything, i.e. extreme dictatorship and control. In my past experiences the only solution to this is death. Or stuff him in an alternate dimension where he can't escape from. In any event, killing him is the only solution I can think of, but then again I'm no expert on these supernatural phenomena.

Right - time for some of you stealthy blokes to set a trap for him at the temple.

If I'm remembering correctly, NWI used to the the Brotherhood of the Beast, one of whose goals was to bring back the Black Pharaoh. So looks like they succeeded in creating an Avatar.
If ghostwheel wanted me to create a Logrus, he would need to somehow get me some of my skills/abilities back. With the ability to create zones, would be possible for him (time travel, clones, select memory copying, powerful magic items etc). I think easier thou to put the squeeze on Aeolous by having his favourite zone having things ramped up.

So are NWI controlling him or is he just doing his own thing?
Also I'm not liking this Ghostwheel guy. Why couldn't our overlord be like… Spiritbacon or something. Stupid ghosts and their wheels.

Right - let's rig some explosives to blow up NWI and Zin High Young.
How do you think Justice Swift is mixed up in all this?
