"Anyways.  There's a lot of things that - are obvious - that we can review to make sure we're on the same page about how obvious they are.  Weapons research restricted so Cheliax stays further behind on that, focusing on large explosives to use in key moments, because if we make a lot of smaller weapons Cheliax can capture those and copy them.  Scry defenses, truthspells.  Medical techniques, which Cheliax may care less about developing for itself, they may not come with immediate military payoffs but they can be sold to countries and individuals to fund the Project."

"Things that aren't obvious... I require you to not restrict access to me by, say, an emissary of Razmiran, you can truthspell them to check malicious intent to harm your valuable knowledge-source, but I need to be able to talk to them and establish Asmodean trading relationships with them.  If no Lawful Evil countries other than Cheliax offer to work with me, then I may need to step outside the Dome long enough to use a Sending, and you can guard me while I do that if you think that's in your own interests.  I'm going to need scrolls and magic items for doing my own thing, and you cannot be my trading partner on those or be helpful about it, just, not hinder me."

"I did not write Project Lawful's contract with Cheliax with this exact outcome in mind, but I did write it with the thought that I might have to leave and set up in another country, and while I tried to be fair to them under those circumstances I did not want to let an adversary be unfair to me.  They need, for example, to set a consistent value on the spellsilver produced using Project-derived technology, to be credited to Project earnings, some of which I control; and if they set that price too low to reduce my apparent earnings, I can buy spellsilver from them at a fixed premium to that price, up to a fraction of the total amount produced.  Same with headbands produced on Carissa's assembly line.  We need to check if that aspect of the contract actually goes through, and get started on holding them to it; if they argue, we are supposed to agree on a priest of Irori to judge the dispute, or if we can't agree on a priest, the High Priest of Irori in Golarion, whoever that is, is supposed to send us a judge.  They will try for all contractually allowed delay, which makes this a potentially critical subpath, I should not have delayed two days on setting this in motion."
