Aether Donations
The solution was obvious, but there was one major obstacle preventing its implementation: His poverty.
In order for his faction to accommodate more members, all he had to do was raise its rank. The Myrtharian Nerds had already reached Rank 5. To promote it to the next rank, he would need to spend 10B of Aether points and hold at least the rank of Command Sergeant Major. That was the easy part, and that amount was within his grasp.
It was what came after that left him aghast and horrified. For a rank 6 faction was not enough to hold 2724 members. In the best case scenario, he could only fit a little more than half of them.
Jake had to raise the Myrtharian Nerds to rank 7 to invite everyone. Again, the Oracle Rank of Second Lieutenant required was not a concern, but the 100B of Aether points was a horrendous chasm to cross.
