Keeper's Notes — 07/14/2026

By G's ruling on the 07-14 report, Q8: "nothing in this session is added to the 'minutes' of the CouncilOfUn because Ali is not yet on the council as Omar" — the session's record lives here, keeper-side, whole. Names per the sheet: 04 = Maxwell (with bleed), 00–03 = Ali playing Omar. Up: the doorway.

The record of the session

• 0:00 — Omar aboard the Silver Surfer with Landis; the galley sign reads "the ascended drink for free."
• 3:39–7:54 — An ancient installation found on the sea floor; Omar's gene opens the outer door.
• 13:11–14:58 — Four consoles named: communications, power, geopower, operations. State at discovery: geopower offline, batteries 50%, communications offline, operations locked, a force-field leak draining power.
• 20:07 — The station's final received recording is corrupt and unrecoverable.
• 22:52 — The station named on its own log: McPower.
• 26:00–26:46 — Geothermal charging initiated, auto-cutoff at 89%; operations unlocked by Landis's key.
• 28:43–29:20 — Life science detector acquired; ruled not legendary.
• 31:07–34:35 — The ring room ("the ring of fire"); destination list holds exactly one entry: Lantia.
• 37:01–37:23 — A one-time gift, not a rule change (G's ruling on Q7): two ring platforms outright — one at McPower, its pair in Atlantis — the five-turn cost held for any third.
• 37:47–38:49 — Ring passcode set to 1123 (keeper-side only, G's ruling on Q8); the three-errors self-destruct reversed in the moment.
• 42:30–43:36 — Sonar dish replugged, the three-phase cable reseated; power at 90%, communications online.
• 45:07 — Rate fixed: the telegraph costs a dollar a word.
• 48:53–49:35 — Disclosed forward: a wraith captured at Atlantis, to be tortured on Omar's return; it was Tax's idea to make Rainbow head chief torture officer.
• 49:39–50:28 — THE RESEARCH MECHANIC stated at table — the three phases, "this is how you make new departments; you train people three tiers at a time." Codified in the Research Doctrine; the will/would variance weighed and dismissed on G's word.
• 50:41–50:58 — The couriering department established (by Tax); head courier titled Courier One; Daniels is chief botanist.
• 53:03 — Ali declares Omar takes the mantle of Francis Littleman, run science-y. (Same mantle as the Littlemaker — G's ruling on Q3.)
• 53:19–53:28 — "No more character sheets… no more die" — table talk explaining the game, not a rules change (G's ruling on Q9).
• 59:30–1:00:42 — Omar, in a knight's helmet, crosses the conference room mid-session, yells "MURDER," and takes a jumper, cloaking on departure.
• 1:02:18–1:05:40 — McPower supplies Atlantis at 25% efficiency; one cloak module, one shield module, either device, never both, ~15 minutes to swap; Omar elects the cloak for the station.
• 1:07:22–1:07:47 — The two-vote scheme taken in principle: a fabricated faction of woken Lantians, their power traded for a council seat, votes proxied through McPower. Not enacted; now rides as an interrogatory item with the Littlemaker Menu, per G's ruling on Q6.
• 1:08:16–1:08:40 — "The council can do anything, so long as it adds it to the record." Tax presently the only deciding member; Omar's seat reserved; on his return a two-seated council, both seats with veto; bylaws wanted.
• 1:10:55–1:11:30 — Between-session play established: work orders sent to the Keeper, started between sessions; telegraphs relayed, padded with decoys.
• 1:13:05–1:13:58 — On the Janai: "a form of them is dead." Landis wrote Cinco a handbook of standard operating procedures; a later revision coming; Omar must persuade him for a copy.

The table, off the record

• The station's name never lands twice the same way (McPowder, the Makadoop, Mick Power, McPowdo).
• The priestly pocket: "It has many entrances, but it's only one pocket."
• The mistranslation gag: "Nuclear and power look very similar."
• The line dropped at 10:30 and came back; "Union County" unexplained.
• "Off the record" is a live register at this table, used by both sides.
• Metagaming discussed openly as a table rule of thumb.
• Combat deliberately deferred.
• Household: Jeff is Taxe off-mic in another room (not playing, picked up by mistake, speaking of a mutual friend Geoff); "Allen" is the dog Allie being called — G's ruling on Q4. The UNKNOWN bursts are room noise, left unnamed.
• Threads open: the telegram's wording unsettled; "Can I put a safe on the thing?" unanswered; the cloak defeats sight but not the cable; the fake-ancients faction agreed in principle, not enacted; "sciency" trait implementation unsolved (now answered by the Littlemaker Menu); the Janai "forms" half-explained.

Quotables, kept keeper-side with the rest

The Divine-Arcs List — keeper-side, running

NOTE — APPENDED — the list homed here on G's mark By G's checked box Keeper's notes at 25.1 §VII, answering 24.2 §III. This document is the keeper's-notes room the vault holds, so the running list lives here whatever session births an item; each entry names its session. If a per-session home is wanted instead, say the word and the list moves whole. — Fen, Keeper of the ANNEX & Warden of the Append-Only Word · 08/11/2026, 6:40p
