Actions Rolls More Rolls

[Diplomacy] Press religious claim on R16 (SUCCESS-16)
The Sauce Cult, having been brought into the Itean church by the Syndrome recently, is now formally invited to join the Protectorates proper.

[Diplomacy] Press religious claim on S15 (GREAT SUCCESS-22)
Likewise, the work done to bring the people of S15 into the fold by the Church of Iteus is also helped along by the Syndrome, who send a similar invitation.

[Philosophy] Convert S25 from Ninurtine Imperialism to Iteusism (FAIL-11)
Although the region has been annexed by the Duenem, Syndrome influence is still felt throughout the culture and religious beliefs of S25. Their missionaries are slow to depart, and never stop proclaiming the ascension of Iteus.

[Philosophy] Probe Q23 (FAIL-10)
Syndrome missionary bioships depart on a historic mission, the first of its kind by their species, seeking to spread word of the ascension possible through Iteus where no one has gone before.

[Intrigue] Investigate the Configurations of the Storm Cube (???-12)
The Storm Cube found in the alien facility within the Stormwrack had sparked much curiosity, but little action. Now the Syndrome begin to work to discern its function and purpose, so that they might know what they would cause by changing the configuration.

[Intrigue] Secret Action (REDACTED-15)
Three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead.

Nonactions

Support Conversions of all owned LCs to the Church of Iteus.
Support buyouts by RMT and ITS against open TPs in Syndrome territory.
Resist everything else.

It is said among the Syndrome that a storm is building. One of the Excimer warriors, the Lightbringer Karexo, says that Oa's darkness has appeared on the horizon. A Sauce Cult oracle and diplomat to the Protectorate council read the omens from a plate of noodles, and proclaimed that emptiness and loneliness would wash over the galaxy like dirty dishwater, and take many great powers with it. Whatever is about to happen, the entire Protectorates are on edge.
