• Downtime for Manifold Ghosts…

Mk2 the access card sword - probably looking to get something along the lines of 1/mission clone an ID or spoof an automated ID system or something like that? It was a weird tinkering to Mk2.

Freeform: use the time we drive the train around the system, and the access to the whole train, to schmooze with Infinite Energy, the Captain, and the Mystic, then when wereturn to Ace's world, schmooze with Ace's Org to get a permanent season ticket for the train so I can use it to get around the system freely and bring cargo.

Red Nine: escalate the fact that there was a Ship Heart actively inviting Decay onto the train as far as she needs to in order to not have her reputation tarnished by the mission-giver – leverage the Mystic Sect of the Divine (Trusted) to get them to put pressure on to get her more Clout with ACE; then let everyone who had access to Infinite Energy know it's on the Train and that there's a new Ship Heart in the Vault.

Invite Manifold Ghosts to get a drink and play some games in the Casino…
