I like the flavor of the other technique more, but it's fitting that nerdocrat would choose based on better math

Actually upon further thinking, while walking to them and keeping cool might be the smarter and more measured response, I'm not sure it's the better one. I want to be friends with Song and friendships are built upon having someone's back even when they are wrong. If she is wrong we can tell her later, but I think it's important that our first response is to immediately be on her side.

What can I say, I like the consistency with this one. It also feels nice to take the two extra dice we got from the Tribulation and just change that to a success.

For what it's worth, I'm mostly voting for Midnight Visitation because of the math. I'm not someone who really believes in luck and even if I did, I feel like the people focusing on 'our rolls are cursed so the only thing we can do is eliminate' which I don't think is the majority of storm voters, just ones I think I have a decent argument to convince are kind of hyperfocusing in on a handful of underwhelming rolls that can be contrasted to a handful of overwhelming rolls in a sea of more average ones Hua Yin has had throughout the quest.

Which, don't get me wrong, it certainly feels like Hua Yin is getting hosed by the dice but human brains are really good at picking up on patterns that don't necessarily match up and our amazing rolls usually don't get anywhere near as much fanfare as our bad ones so I think that plays into how chance 'feels' stacked against us.
