The Omega has three cabals at their disposal. Their heuristics decide to begin subverting a TOL base, and beginning weapons research, splitting their effort equally.
One cabal begins work on subverting Osaze (formerly Egypt), by simply pointing out the obvious - that the New Jerusalem government is trying to destroy what little is left of an ancient and respected culture. They travel to neglected museums in Europe and America and repatriate what's left of ancient artifacts.
It will take 4 more years of efforts to be able to launch an attempt to take control of the regional government. However, since your cabal is coordinating their actions from the local TOL base, you effectively end up operating the installation.
Another cabal is tasked with rediscovering ancient nuclear secrets. Unfortunately, they do not get very far at all; nuclear physics may simply no longer work, or much of the underlying science is no longer understandable.
It would take at least 10 years to even be able to arrive at any practical results; even then, at least one base will have to work exclusively for the cabals involved for 2 years just to mine the ore. The cabal is aware of the fact that a simpler weapon was once built which did not require much in the way of advanced engineering, just a lot of unsafe mining.
One cabal must maintain the Omega's systems, sensor networks, and assist in operating the logistics functions that are their official mandate. Two are available for covert action.
This looks like that one really old HAMURABI videogame, Mischlitt thought. The system must have been really primitive back then.
