...keeps shifting.

And the mechanism underneath it is not soft at all. It comes straight from 1950s biology: a concept called directive correlation, the same theory of active adaptation used to explain how living systems shape their environment instead of just reacting to it.

I want to examine secrets inside an AX Task separately. Even if a secret is injected through a safer mechanism, the agent can obviously read its own environment.

Instead of designing a covalent mechanism from scratch, we wanted to take advantage of K-Ras(G12C), a notorious oncoprotein with existing clinically approved covalent drugs. These inhibitors specifically target a cryptic pocket in K-Ras and irreversibly react with Cys12. (3/16)

Wounds do have a special cool bonus/feature. But they are also narrative tags and can impact scenes in many ways.

For $25 you get your name, URL, and a short blurb in a supporters section. Live forever in the book! ko-fi.com/s/14551bd1ca
The Blessing Of Pain When your Wound is directly relevant to why you are in this room, why you are doing exactly what you are doing right now, you can automatically succeed at a 6 or gain an extra 6 to push a success into the miraculous, once per scene. When facing Pastor Crale or other major foes or someone untouchable with Influence, you cannot invoke an automatic 6 but you may gain +1d6 on a roll against them or toward stripping their Influence, once per scene. Wounds In Play Helping you. The Wound gives you the automatic success or extra die because what you’re doing right now is the thing your wound has been building toward. You are standing in front of the exact mechanism that destroyed someone you love, and the fury is very direct and clean. If it needs arguing for, it probably isn’t this. Hindering you. The Wound is something the Shepherd can use, not as punishment but as truth. The rhetoric echoes a truth you believed. A victim of the system triggers a grief you didn’t plan for. The Tithe Collector makes an offer and part of you violently screams for you to take it. When the Wound makes the action harder, the Shepherd can name it. Not “your Wound costs you” but just the fiction being true. You decide how your character carries it. Empathizing with people. The Wound is also how you see others. When the lowest-ranked guard hasn’t been paid in three months and they’re running on faith they’re not sure they still have, the Sinner with a Wound of similar betrayal is the one most likely to recognize that face. This doesn’t require a mechanic. It requires looking. The Wound calibrates the eye. Ambiguous situations. The interesting ones. Someone who did specific harm to you or someone like you is also now a victim of the church’s machinery. A true believer who is wrong about almost everything is also sincere about something that is real and truly dear to you. The Wound does not resolve moral complexity. It makes you feel more acutely. Maybe that is the point of being in this building on this night. The Wound is fuel. Fuel does not know why it is burning, what it is burning. It just knows it must burn.

The Wound is the first thing that character creation asks you to address. Doing this and fighting the megachurch isn't some abstract notion or higher ideal for you. It's deeply personal.

You get a burner phone, a compound dossier, keys to a storage unit with mostly useless random items but a few bits of (poorly maintained and fragile) equipment as well, and a laminated card that reads: CALL IF YOU NEED SOMETHING UNETHICAL BUT NOT EVIL Your job: • Get in. • Free Jesus. • Get Him out. The Cathedral's job: • Stop you with extreme prejudice. • Post it to their forty-million-subscriber channel. Your Wound The First Church of the Perpetual Tithe, or something built on the same assumptions, did very specific wrongs to you or someone you love. Not abstract notions of harm. Not hypothetical possibilities. Detailed harm, lasting harm, real harm. The kind that lives in your chest, burrows in your bones, and does not leave. Write one or two sentences. Describe what they did. This is more than the seed of a backstory in BLOOD.MONEY.GOSPEL. It is high potency fuel. This is a key to why Lucifer chose you out of countless others. This is why the Cathedral is going to have a very bad night. • “They took my mother's savings and called it a seed offering. She died carrying the debt.” • “My town's only hospital became a conference annex and the annex has a Starbucks.” • “I believed. Actually believed. For seven years I gave everything I had, and now I know what it was worth to them, what I was worth to them.” Writing Your Wound “They took my mother’s savings and called it a seed offering. She died carrying the debt.” This fires because the mechanism is named (seed offering), the relationship is named (mother), the outcome is named (died in debt), and the institution’s framing is named (“seed offering”). You can draw a line from that sentence to a hundred different moments inside the Cathedral. The offering system. The rhetoric about generosity. A staffer processing donations. Whenever the Wound is directly relevant to why the Sinner is doing what they’re doing right now, the line will be obvious. Not argued for. Obvious. “I believed. Actually believed. For seven years I gave everything I had. But now? Now I know what it was worth to them. What I was worth to them.” This mentions the financial hooks but focuses on false performances and betrayal. Its triggers are similarly clear. A believer defending the Pastor. An Anointed member who cannot hear the question you’re asking. The hollow sound of the Cathedral’s rhetoric when you’ve heard that pretend sincerity before and paid dearly for it. The Wound doesn’t require money. It requires a betrayal you can smell in the air. Compare: “The church hurt my family.” This holds no fire. There is no line to draw. There is no specific loss, no clear emotional hook. It is the vague shape of possible pains, rather than a Wound. If a Sinner writes something like this, ask directly: What specifically did they do? Not what kind of thing. What thing in itself. If anyone is stuck, work with each other to help everyone develop their story.

Warming weakens Asian monsoon's reach into the Mediterranean
The South Asian summer monsoon has long been known to shape the Mediterranean climate thousands of kilometers away as part of a phenomenon known as the "monsoon–desert" mechanism.

4/ We started from the earthquake alone. From the rupture model of the US Geological Survey, built from seismic waves, we computed how the seabed rose, by up to 3.8 m, during the roughly 200 s of the rupture. The equations of long waves then carried the tsunami across the Pacific.
Three maps of the Kamchatka earthquake and its tsunami. Top left, the rupture model of the US Geological Survey: a grid of fault patches off the southeast coast of Kamchatka, coloured by the slip on the fault, with the epicentre marked by a star and the magnitude 8.8 mechanism drawn beside it. Bottom left, the resulting movement of the seabed: a band of uplift, in red, along the trench and a band of subsidence, in blue, closer to the coast. Right, the largest tsunami height computed over the whole Pacific, from Asia and Australia to the Americas, with dashed lines of equal travel time; the highest waves stay near Kamchatka, and narrow bands of stronger waves fan out to the southeast across the ocean.
