Mission #14 - Follow Up and Vote
By the conclusion of this mission, the volunteers will have the option to either help the Iron Eye or take measures to ensure they fail. There are four options to take, each with their own pros and cons, as well as chances for success or failure. The involvement of the Lucetians will have a significant impact on future drafts and missions.
Of course, the question is: what are the Iron Eye up to? If you haven’t figured it out, you may have to make a decision with just what you’ve figured out.
The voting will impact things thusly:
Options 1 and 2 are pro-Iron Eye. By voting for them, one vote is ADDED to their chance of success.
Options 3 and 4 are anti-Iron Eye. But voting against them, one voted is SUBTRACTED to their chance of success.
Whichever of the four options get the majority vote will be the one that is used to determine the outcome of the mission. So, for instance, if Option 3 is chosen with 10 votes for Anti-Iron Eye, and 4 votes for Pro-Iron Eye, we could end up with:
40% - 10% + 4% = 34% chance of success. This means the Iron Eye would very likely fail, which is the desired option of the majority vote.
Once we have the votes in, we’ll use the random dice roll in an AIM chatroom, where we will roll a 100-sided die. If the dice rolls 34 or higher, the Iron Eye will fail. Likewise, if the success percentage is at 85%, then any dice roll over 85 will result in failure.
Bear in mind that there are 28 characters involved, which means that there is a lot of sway on the success rate based simply on agreeing with any one option.
The dice roll will take place in lucetiplot on September 15th at 11:00PM EST for those who wish to observe. If you do not have your vote in by then, it will not be counted. But this should give you ample time to try and figure out what’s really going on and decide what your character will do.
And so your options are thus:
1. They help the Iron Eye find the entrance to the cultist’s underground city and do not report to the Malnosso. Although this dramatically increases the chances to succeed, it will also put them in danger of some reprisal.
Pro: This route secures them an alliance with the Iron Eye. The repercussions could dramatically shift the war away from the cultists.
Con: Direct collaboration would make them accountable to the Malnosso, and they would lack the ability to deny their involvement.
Chance of Iron Eye Success: 80% + one point for each volunteer supporting the Iron Eye.
2. They help the Iron Eye by not telling the Malnosso what’s going on. This increases the chance of success and doesn’t put them in any kind of danger. They claim ignorance.
Pro: This route frees them of accountability. The repercussions could dramatically shift the war away from the cultists.
Con: Their relationship with the Iron Eye and Malnosso is not improved, but it isn’t ruined either. Luceti’s influence is not altered.
Chance of Iron Eye Success: 60% + one point for each volunteer supporting the Iron Eye.
3. They report the Iron Eye’s activities to the Malnosso, informing them of their ultimate goal. This also reveals Bil’s location. This decreases the chance of success and doesn’t put the volunteers in any danger.
Pro: This route guarantees they secure some tangible physical reward for Luceti in return for their loyalty to the Organization. This could be new infrastructure, an expanded barrier, or some other surprise gift.
Con: This route leaves Bil and the Iron Eye’s fate to the Malnosso, which is not promising for either of them.
Chance of Iron Eye Success: 40% - one point for each volunteer opposing the Iron Eye.
4. They find a way to sabotage the Iron Eye’s activities, but don’t report it to the Malnosso. This dramatically decreases the chance of success, but puts them in danger of reprisal.
Pro: This route leaves the Iron Eye and Bil in tact, but foils their plans. They maintain good relations with the Malnosso.
Con: The route sours relations with the Iron Eye.
Chance of Iron Eye Success: 20% - one point for each volunteer opposing the Iron Eye.
Characters will find out the results of their decision via an NPC post sometime later in September.

"And so I came all this way, across worlds and time, to be right in the middle of another bloody revolt." Things were so easy before this had happened. She had her little family, such as it was, she had someone she could be simple and honest with. What had she done to deserve being thrown back into conflict? "I just came here to make sure you would be alright. Now... now I'll never stop thinking about protecting everyone when we're inside the barrier."
no subject
"You don't have to," he tries to reassure her, though he suspects it won't do all that much. "I'll protect you-- I already promised that much. And that's a promise I'm not going to break."
no subject
"I know you promised that, but Gai... you can't possibly think I'm the sort of person to leave that entirely to you," she says, laughing thickly. "Booker is a walking disaster area, and even then I can't just follow him around and let him take care of everything. There's always something I can do, there's always something I feel I have to do."
She looks up at him again and moves her hand up to Gai's jaw. He had been so intense during the meeting she thought for a moment he was an entirely different person. But that wasn't the case at all, he lived at this level of intensity. The audience changed, the reasons changed, but Elizabeth saw the same man holding her tightly and promising she would be happy.
"Just promise me that whatever I have to do, I won't do it alone. And whatever you have to do, you won't do it alone either."

His eyes soften when she reaches up to touch his face, and with that simple change of expression, he looks more like the Gai she's used to seeing. It's true, he lives at one intensity, and that's full-throttle. Such is the result of living with the knowledge that one's days are numbered. Gai gives his all in everything he does, be it fighting or loving someone. He doesn't know how to do anything less... something that can be both a blessing and a curse.
"But I can promise that much. Neither one of us needs to be alone, not anymore."
He just wishes she didn't have to be involved in this at all.

"God, I feel like a wound up spring."

The stress is wrecking him, not that he'll admit to it.

Then he slips his arms around her again, pulling her close. "Come on, let's lie down and I'll give you a backrub."
