Background

A Sami shaman leading efforts to rehabilitate reindeer pastures and migration routes is in conflict with Norse Godi/Runemaster with fisheries interests and corp affiliation. The situation is complicated by a third faction (tourism). The leaders of the three factions not only have different goals but suffer from a historical legacy. The ancestors of all three belonged to the cult led by Wednesday before he met Friday and created Winternight. Tempest is instructed by an avatar spirit of Thor to resolve the conflict by the new moon. Tempest is faced with competing values. Her choices are the test.

The Meet

Tempest was awakened by strange sounds from the kitchen area. In her kitchen she found a spirit rummaging through her cabinets...a spirit she'd seen in her dreams two nights before. The Avatar Spirit of Thor told tempest that he had a task for her. He explained that two of the factions on Mageroya Island in Norway were in conflict, Her task was to resolve the conflict by the new Moon. When Tempest accepted the spirit opened the cask of mead he'd brought while Tempest prepared a gustatory marvel.

The Plan

Travel

Tempest wants to get to Norway fast and to have her customized hearse for local travel. She calls her contact Jet Set to arrange round trip use of the Galaxy for two chips. Upon her arrival in Bergen she is warned that overland travel through the Norwegian interior is hazardous. As luck would have it the nine hour drive to Mageroya island is uneventful.

Legwork

Tempest decides to do actual travel and talking to people as the primary method of getting information. The owners of the bed & breakfast in Gjesvær was a trove of background information. Her interaction with Sara, the Sami shaman, was informative but hardly unbiased. Similarly, her interaction with Trond Ericson is informative but colored by different biases. Tempest did gain valuable information through her network of contacts; Mint connected her to an academic in Bergen who conducted a quick analysis of the economic impact of the infrastructure plan for the fisheries. There is a workable option for all factions to with with political side payments but all three factions must join forces.
