Jamie,

as you got me drunk on the vapor of all the blue beer alone you were jugging with your visiting polar bear buddy last night, and you are up nice and shiney while I have the hangover of the century, please fix the mistakes in this and make sure I still have a job tomorrow! 🥴 🤢

📎: PRELIMINARY PROTOCOL FOR THE TRINITY CALIFORNIA REGIONAL MEETING

Participants:

Lucas Hunter and Sascha Duncan (E-Psy), Dorian Christensen and Ashaya Alleine (M-Psy), Faith NightStar (F-Psy) all Dark River (DR), Hawke Snow and Sienna Lauren Snow (X-Psy), Judd Lauren (TK-Cell), Alexei and Memory Aven-Rose (E-sigma) all Snow Dancer (SD), Adam for Wind Haven (WH), Tejian for the Rats, BlackSea doesn’t have a resident liaison, but will be informed.

Nikita Duncan and Anthony Kyriakus, residents and part of the Ruling Coalition, a pregnant Sophia Russo (J-Psy and strange anchor) and Max Shannon, Bjorn Thorsen, a non-cardinal Californian hub-anchor (Tangle of Need) also part of the Anchor Representation Association (ARA) ‘s advisory board (Last Guard p.123-125). Samuel Rain declined attending this meeting, he just had a new idea regarding Vasic’s robotic arm. Ivan Mercant has been invited to the meeting but is still pretending he isn’t a Mercant (thank you Bear spies 😊) [If he is spying on us, he can contribute to the area as well. (Last Guard)]. The Enforcement vice commissioner, a middle-aged Psy woman with unusual papery white skin (Heart of Obsidian, p. 317-318) was not invited to this meeting. The Forgotten don’t have an official liaison yet.

Jim Wong, an elderly human male of Asian descent as the representative of the shopkeepers in the warren of Chinatown and a tall black male as the liaison of the Human Alliance (Heart of Obsidian, p. 317-318).

General update:

• According to research by Alpha-Z the Net was never supposed to be only populated by Psy. Their conservative estimate is that at least 25% of the Net population before Silence – via relationships with Psy – was made up of humans. (Wolf Rain, p. 106)
• “Unless thousands of humans fall in love with thousands of Psy within the next twelve months, it [the PsyNet] will collapse.” (Wolf Rain, p.108)
• The PsyNet needs a lot of new Anchors initializing like yesterday! They need to hold the Net in place and care for the Substrate, fill it with psychic energy (Last Guard).
• The Net Mind and Dark Mind have reconnected into one but fractured just as well. A small part of it hid away in the mind of Sophia Russo (Last Guard).
• The PsyNet is still rotting at an alarming rate.
• The Empaths are all on the edge of burnout.
• Tp-A-Psy like Silver Mercant need a solution for their audio channels when letting go of Silence, if there are even any others alive. DNA therapy would be way safer than the operation and seeding of the brain with biofusion tendrils (Silver Silence, p.319-334).
• The PsyNet around Psy with mating bonds with humans: Sophia Russo, Clara Alvarez and Stefan Berg and Psy with bonds with dominant predatory changelings: Silver Mercant, Memory Aven-Rose and Ehtan Night is healthier, stronger … solid (Wolf Rain, p.390-392).
• Bowen Knight’s implant is still stable. The experimental and risky procedure to fix the failing Human Alliance implant, is rolled out one after the other in the order of implantation by Dr Kahananui (Ocean Light).
• There still is no other solution for humans to block Psy intrusion. The Aleines are working on an implant version for humans (Silver Silence, p.295) as is a team that Kaleb put together, without sharing the Aleine’s process to stay open for other solutions.
• There are still BlackSea people missing, that need to be found. And tracking KJ needs to be successful (Ocean Light, p.390).

Anchor update:

• All anchors with attached “weeds” can attach those weed tendrils to Canto Mercant “so that if one day we do have no choice but to cut the Net into pieces, we can keep the Substrate together, so no one anchor starves.” (Last Guard, S. 353)
• California has 20 anchors with 200 backup anchors. Of the 20 anchors are 3 cardinals (hubs), the rest are secondary anchors, secondary hubs. Additionally, Sophia Russo resides there, a strange anchor (Tangle of Need, p. 345-346).
• Sascha Duncan and Judd Lauren have the files with the pictures and locations of all the anchors in the region (Tangle of Need, p. 413).
• Jaya Storm (E-Psy) is researching "how childhood trauma may affect the development of psychic pathways in all children, and anchors in particular." (Last Guard, p. 278)

California region update:

• Pax Marshall, aka Patient Zero is still here frequently for his therapy sessions with Memory Aven-Rose (Wolf Rain, p. 375-377).
• Memory Aven-Rose, a local member of SD is the only one to clean the PsyNet of the sickness (Wolf Rain, p. 357-359). 
  
• The training center for Empaths is still active (Wolf Rain), also hosting meetings for the teenage Arrows with changelings and humans (Shards of Hope or/and Allegiance of Honor).
• Sascha Duncan (E-Psy) is the resident wizzard shield technician, consulted by Psy of all Designations (Arrows, Anchors, Forgotten, ...) for custom shields (ie.: Alpha Night; Last Guard, p. 278)
• Ashaya and Amara Aleine (M-Psy) live here.
  
• Samuel Rain lives here still (Shield of Winter).
• California has more stable PsyNet regions than any other area in the world with Sophia Russo, Clara Alvarez, and Memory Aven-Rose living here (Wolf Rain, p. 390-392).
• We have the best spy organization in the region. (Heart of Obsidian, p. 318) River is good friends with them (Last Guard).
• Ivan Mercant moved here, so the Mercants have on of their own on the ground and to know what is going on here firsthand (Last Guard).
• Something is going on between Nikita Dunkan and Anthony Kyriakus (mentioned in every Book since Nikita was shot in Shards of Hope, i.e., Allegiance of Honor, p.129). They both call California home still.
• Clan NightStar is there, “has a small base right up against Dark River land” (Wolf Rain, p. 134).
• The Pure Psy attack on SF also brought the “normal people” of all three races closer together (Kiss of Snow). Further seen when the mercenary lion team attacked Sascha and Naya in the Presidio. The human residents called the accident in to DR, they helped tie up the assailants. Not only members of the DR pack responded immediately, but also Indigo and Drew, Teijan and Max Shannon (Allegiance of Honor, p. 154-159).
• Dr Maia Ndiaye, a 9.3 M-Psy with a specialization in neurology works at PsyMed SF Echo and is the current specialist for Scarab Syndrome (Alpha Night, p. 301). 
  

Scarab update:

• Scarab powers are an imminent threat for the PsyNet. There are many. Ethan can see the lightning echoes, their signature all over the PsyNet (Alpha Night, p. 302).
• Many sufferers of Scarab Syndrome are not being treated according to Dr Maia Ndiaye at PsyMed SF Echo. Melody can help some, but not all. If they go beyond a certain stage, they cannot be helped at all.
• Only Patient Zero saw Empaths as the enemy and attacked them (Wolf Rain). Later Scarabs didn’t attack Psy of one specific designation but followed the orders of the Spider and pushed energy into a certain part of the PsyNet (Alpha Night, p. 343).
• Memory Aven-Rose, the only E-Sigma to date, can clean the PsyNet of the sickness (Wolf Rain, p. 357-359).
• Ethan Night, the only other “new” E so far, can see Scarab powers and their energy tracks on the PsyNet. He can also track “sufferers of Scarab Syndrome when they begin to lose control and surrender to the urge to free their powers” (Alpha Night, p. 301).
• Kaleb Krychek and Aden Kai stitch the PsyNet fractures together most often, with other high level Psy able to deal with smaller ones. The fractures are always also fixed in the Substrate by Achors (Last Guard).
  

F-Psy forecast updates:

• The Queen of Scarabs wants a piece of the PsyNet for her children (Last Guard).
• Low level F-Psy like Zuli-Anne Flowers are having recurring nightmares of fire and water and death (Music in the Rain, newsletter short story, December 2021)
• There is a storm already echoing through the world, hitting soon, but unable to be located more precisely at the present moment (Anthony Kyriakus, undefined F-Psy, likely Faith NightStar).

Questions:

• Is the Queen of Scarabs/the Architect going tear off an empty piece and move her children there or take any piece and do what with the normal Psy that live in that region as well?
• Can anyone get into that piece of PsyNet, who wasn’t there when it got torn off?
• Can Psy get out of that piece of PsyNet if the relocate (like the empaths moved to the training grounds? Does the PsyNet have to be in one piece to do that reanchoring?
• Can Psy get out of the torn of piece by “dying” and relocating physically like Ashaya did?
• Can they get out by creating their own network like the Forgotten and Lauren family did?
• Can Canto go to the border of the torn off piece and create another “moving of the Stars” Occlusion to move all the Psy over or does that only work when the PsyNet is “whole”?
• If we still go on the hypothesis the Queen of Scarabs is Shoshanna Scott and lives in Henry’s mansion in London, she most logically should tear of the piece of PsyNet that goes with London, or Great Britain. About that region and its inhabitants, we know nothing at all so far. About Europe we know very little, the attacks in Copenhagen and Geneva, Ming Le Pon being in France, Shoshanna in London.
• Does the tearing of a piece off the PsyNet create the Storm of fire and water and death that is being foreseen?

To do list:

• We need to tap Trinity contacts (Arrows, Kaleb and Ivan Mercant), our own roaming and stationed in Europe. (Lukas)
• How do we prepare for a storm of fire and water and death? We have a long coast! If it is a tsunami, we need plans to evacuate our people safely and fast. Same with flooding. (Max + Mr. Wong)
• Tornados are unusual here, tap contacts with Tornado experience. (Anthony)
• Who is responsible for fire stuff here? Contact the person and persons responsible and get the crisis plans for the whole region. Get the emergency contact information to spread out along the network for fastest response possible. (Sienna + Dorian)
• How do we prepare for a storm of death? This is too unspecific. Nothing to be done right now.
• Check our EM Net contacts are correct. (everyone)

The meeting ended after much discussion but all agreed on this:

Whoever this Queen of Scarabs is, she better stay far away from our corner of the world. She would be beyond stupid to set her Queendom here!!!!

See you all soon in San Francisco in Nalini Singh's Psy-Changeling Trinity World (Storm Echo, Book 6, 2022). 🤗💖🤗
