Wonderful Playlist adjusted:

I noticed Presea had a perfectly valid theme song, 'Presea,' her actual theme song from the game, that was eminently qualified as a 3-star song, so I changed her theme song to 'Presea'.  That kicked 'Desert Flower' out of my wonderful playlist.  I also replaced 'Ami', a 4-star song with no special connection to anybody, with 'Golden,' my new 5-star song.  So Nada's personal theme got an upgrade.

'Faithful Warriors' was a 3-star song from the Dune II game, so by rule should have been Valya's theme song, but I wanted 'Fight!' to remain in my wonderful playlist.  I got around that by downgrading the song to 2-star.  No 3-star, no problem.  I also think the 2-star song I upgraded to take the place of 'Faithful Warriors', a collection of cantrips from Final Fantasy, Ogre Battle, Xenogears and Chrono Trigger, was actually superior anyway.

Now every 3-star and 4-star song that has a tie-in to a wonderful character is properly in my Wonderful playlist.  At the same time, all 1100 of my 5-star songs and the best 4-star songs with no tie-ins are also represented.  The result is 1424 songs:  120 3-star's, 204 4-star's, and 1100 5-star's.

To fit 'Golden' into my 5-star playlist, I dropped 'The Trial' down to 4-star, and the 4-star song 'Anakin's Dark Deeds' down to 3-star.  Eventually this chain reaction led to 'Genoce' from Gun Hazard being dropped entirely.  My music hall of fame remains a clean 5500 songs with 5 tiers of 1100 songs each, graded against each other on a curve.

By accomplishing my master mission of giving Ruka three orb skills, I was awarded enough quartz to do another recruitment roll.  I aimed for the support focus recruitment, which had 5 great SS Memorias and one useless one.  I was lucky enough to actually get an SS Memoria on my first try, but of course got the one useless one in the bunch -- Alchemist Tenne.  I'm not sure if that's good or bad luck.  Well, technically, Magicat Tenne is in my ice squad, and the 'miracle cure' ability I got from Alchemist Tenne can be used by Magicat Tenne, so it wasn't totally useless. . .

This attack on ICE officers in Chicago and Portland is a clear act of insurrection.  The state and city officials are refusing to give police protection to these federal buildings and officers, and the governors and mayors are egging on the mob to attack them.  The federal government should invoke the insurrection act and impose martial law on all states/cities that defy federal law.  Strip them of their power and run the regions directly with the US military.  Federal law trumps state/local law.  This is well established.  This is why we're one country, not 50 countries.  You can't allow Democrats to just do their own thing.  That's not how elections work.  We won the election, so now we run the country.  Not them.  Us.
