My Strategy “You intend to approach each survivor of your colony and enquire if they wish a return to traditional ways?” “Yes.” “An alternative option would be to found an informal clan structure retaining cultural identity but living a modern lifestyle?” “Well… we would need some form of structured society. I was thinking of acquiring a tract of land and founding a community firmly grounded in modern times with traditional elements. This is almost AC 204, we have no need for a feudal society.” Milliardo sniggered, thinking of Sanc but a knock drew his attention and Pagan entered. He inclined his head, acknowledging the butler’s formal nod and turned his attention to Wu Fei, allowing Pagan to place the tray and serve tea. “How would this society be structured? Much as I wish not to be on top of this particular heap, someone has to be. You must have layers, a pyramidal structure and by blood it is you who stand on top. If you draw others to you then you must acknowledge how they will see you. Once you approach them you will be, by default, The Chang.” Dark eyes stared into dancing flame. “I have no wish to be Chang of Chang any more than you wished to be The Peacecraft. I understand if only one survivor acknowledges my right there is no turning back.” “You could form a relaxed variant of the traditional structure though not overnight. You will still require your representatives to your people and their representatives to you.” “I doubt all who survived will wish a return to the rule of Clan. They have survived perfectly well on their own.” “We are all capable of adapting to survive. You need to determine if they are happy with their lives. At the least content. Those in need will answer ‘yes’ with relief and hope. Some will balance on the dividing line, uncertain which way to fall. They will wait to observe how well you provide for those who give their dependence to you.” “I wish none to be dependent upon me. I wish only to provide a place where they may live in peace with elements of the familiar surrounding them. I wish not a return to the old ways but an adaptation and integration to modern times. I wish them to accept the offer to make a place for ourselves within another society whose traditions are not so different from our own.” “That would be?” “Here. Sanc.” Dark eyes burned. “My strategy would be to provide them safety and familiarity in a world accepting of traditions but conscious of the need to adapt to the modern world. Sanc is engaged in that process, integrating the modern with the traditional. I think a homeless clan with old-fashioned values might fit in here, if Sanc could accept them and grant a place to make their own.” End
