Add an Agenda Point to “Institute Proposals”:-
* Initiate a Capture with a code number (between 1 and 9999) which has been used by no other Investigations. (This is a High-Cost Agenda Point.)
After the Agenda Points list, add:-
An Institute Proposal may not contain more than one High-Cost Agenda Point.
Add a subrule to “Institute Proposals” called “Captures”:-
For any Capture which has been Initiated in the previous 48 hours:
* Any Researcher (who has not already done so for that Capture) may privately contact the Director naming a single Artefact to be the subject of that Capture;
* Any Collector (who has not already done so for that Capture) may privately contact the Director naming a single Artefact they suspect that the Capture is searching for.If a Capture has been Initiated more than 48 hours ago and not been closed, the Director may close it by performing the following atomic action:
* Determine the Capture’s Objective in a secretly random manner, from among all Artefacts named as its subject by Researchers under this rule;
* If the Objective is Alive and not Incapacitated, add 7 {{soul}} Damage to it.
* If any Collectors named the Objective as their suspicion, and if the Objective’s Location is Unknown: change the Objective’s Location to the Collection of a secretly random one of those Collectors;
* If the Objective’s Location is still Unknown: change the Objective’s Location to the Containment Facility
Trying a different recovery subgame of pure bluffing and information leakage. The Institute can agree to send out a search team to recover a specific Artefact (possibly squabbling over what they should be looking for), but if a Collector has an inkling or hears a rumour about the target in question, they can counter-surveil the search team, follow the same leads and get there first.
Madrid:
Lore-wise I’m not really catching the meaning of “If the Objective is Alive and not Incapacitated, add 7 {{soul}} Damage to it.”, but it’s not too big of a deal, personally.
