Spending a while at home, I endured boredom, and, for the first time since perhaps returning from Drakon-Rasa, subjected myself to a proper time of rest.
Needless to say, there was no use in forcing myself to not think about what Contracts to take on next or how to clear the Tenth Floor of the Tower, and I actually ended up using some of this time to figure those questions out.
For the question of 'what my next Contract should be', I simply told the Librarian to find a suitable one of 3-star Difficulty.
After I returned home, I came to the decision that I wanted to promote one more time, increasing my Tier of Authority to Four before I went back to challenge the Tower.
I still needed to clear a few more Contracts for that, so it might take a while, but I at least hoped to have it done by the end of the year.
