Jack checked his ruling power. He had 83 ruling powers at the moment. He needed 80 ruling powers for Call to Arms and Mass Drill. But by the time he could use those two powers again, he should also gain additional 60 ruling powers from his level 6 Sovereign.
Thinking that he could spare some ruling powers, he opened the Research Overview. For the three techs they were researching, University had nine more days left, Explosives had five days left, and Collective Ardor had seventeen days left.
They only needed to hasten the research of University and Explosives if they wanted to get to the techs they were discussing earlier. But since Jack was feeling generous, he hastened all three techs, spending 4 ruling powers.
He then chose the techs from the civil and military paths that Peniel had mapped before. For the mystic path, there was no special need so he chose Healing Diagram, the tech that John was previously fussy about.
