Spent a week Detoxing from my party with Dworkin...then spent a wonderful week "shard" hunting in shadow. Dang things are a PITA, remind me not to do anything to earn any of these for myself.

Later I took Mom and Merlin to the Trump Nexus, got them introduced to Duplication, and let them play. Later that week I took Aunt Fi and Aunt Llewella to the Trump Nexus too.. Merlin still here so I put him to work helping brief them.

Aunt Fi "created" lunch for me later, gave me a Ring that grants Trump Defense, not all that handy for me, but might come in usefull later.

Left the Aunts to play, and Headed for Naipon. Seems there is a Trade War going on..for control of the Golden Circle Trade. My Strike teams are interested in participating, and it sounds like a good way to blood a few of them. I allow off duty members to go "play". Later I decide to influence which house wins, and of course it does with my subtle backing.

Some good training with my Strike teams, getting them used to Trump jumping and fights.

I continue to meditate.
