I fully expect the combination of things not picked to result in the princess and/or empress somehow being assassinated by one of the POWs, tanking everyone's morale at the last possible moment.

But goddammit, I want a chance at some nice things in this hellhole.

It feels bad not to vote to save civilians here, but... when I look at this, this is the only option pair that I can see that actually opens a door to something actually changing versus doing all this again in ten years. If this is really how this is remembered by the Solar System, that means the story gets out this way into the Divine Empire. It's a crack in the myth that the Divine Empire is building about itself and the war. Not much, but it's at least a start.

IDK...TBH I'm really tempted to pick Gaurd, if only so the black woman lives for once (old joke, but a joke I think needs to be able to be said freely.) and I'm a bit of a sucker for 'lead from the front' types to boot, but uhh.
Well.
That does cheapen what she came out there for and doesn't garuntee she lives either sooo eh.

One last time... we're the good guys.

In fact as this update points out.... we're not. We're just the slightly less bad guys. The system we serve is banal evil as opposed to malevolently evil.

Things feel... different this time. So soon after Jaycee, the full realisation of what those words mean hits Daystar in a way that it never has before. What it means, holding the power of life and death over millions. What it really means. One can very credibly argue that the Imperial Civil War and now this entire invasion is an internal dispute amongst her own family, spilling out onto the entire Solar System. One day, if they survive this, if nothing truly spectacular happens politically to jeopardise her position, Daystar will be the one on the throne. She'll be the one who those words are spoken about. How many more people is she going to see die for her, or because of her? How many more Okellos or Jaycees?
