As a reminder from the Empress' office:

A) Russia, the United States and Beijing are not viable locations for travel, except for authorized individuals.

Russia is due to the Theological Noosphere there being seemingly hostile.

The United States, especially the East Coast seems to be at the center of a time-space fracture.

Beijing is literally unapproachable, like you just skip to the other side.

B) The Imperial Government is teaming up with the New Chinese Communist Government to ensure the continued stability of the region.

C) Have You Found The Yellow Sign?

...Right. Fair enough.

Or put another way - your Insight score isn't high enough to see the world as it really is. ...Huh, there's a thought.

"The reason no one can see the Yellow Sign is because someone needs to have a certain amount of madness-inducing 'Insight' to see it at all."

[tobeabducted]

If the Yellow Sign itself isn't the "Madness-Inducing Insight". Though, the Empress and Empress Consort are pushing for "Madness" to be replaced with "Gnosis". The former is bigoted to people with mental wellness issues.

[becomeanwarrior]

Right, right, Gnosis. That's gonna be a hard adjustment to make.

But yes, assuming that. Though given the difficulty of finding the Yellow Sign thus far, I think that has to be a part of it... you need to be at a significant level of 'Gnosis' to see the world for what it actually is, and only then can you find the Yellow Sign.

[tobeabducted]

The question is who is supposed to see the world for what it actually is.

[becomeanwarrior]

Whoever holds the Silver Key, I would imagine, right?

[tobeabducted]

And they don't already?

[becomeanwarrior]

If they're still looking, then clearly not.

But then does that mean someone else probably needs to reach Gnosis instead, to guide whoever has the Silver Key?

[tobeabducted]

Maybe?

How annoying.

I hope this helped.

[becomeanwarrior]

Extremely annoying.

Trying to get my thoughts together to explain to someone else always helps. Rubber ducking is a proven tool in engineering, after all.

[tobeabducted]

Who in the what now?

[becomeanwarrior]

Rubber ducking. It's an engineering technique.

Basically you attempt to describe the problem you're having to an inanimate object - typically a rubber duck. You can describe it to someone else too, the point is to try and make someone else understand what you're trying to say helps you solve the problem better.

[tobeabducted]

Oh.

Huh.

That's interesting.
