"Ah. I see you've already noticed it."

(Refuse to elaborate further, but nonverbally signal sympathy and discomfort.)

"When things come to a head, remember that you've made friends you can call on. You don't need to face this alone."

(Leave.)
I see this one getting a lot of traction but I'm not a fan. Hego hasn't "noticed it" he has a very vague feeling of unease. Being that cagey and non-specific will just make him paranoid without giving it any direction or form, we should be at least a bit more specific than that.

It sounds cool, like a line from a movie, sure. But it would just be maddeningly confusing for Hego since he doesn't really know what's happening - "There might be more to the attacks than meets the eye" or "Something might be amiss at this party" at least gives something concrete for him to build his suspicions off of even if we don't want to go the full route and talk about Sinatron or Syndrome.

[] Hego, I like the new outfit. It's a great Homage to Mr. Incredible. Did you know I quit working for Kronos because of how they treated him?

(Pause)

These attacks. There's something about them that makes me feel uneasy. I know that Sinatron is involved in them, but I don't know why. Be careful. I don't know the specifics, but... Heroes don't need to be lone monoliths. You have friends in DEI, and even if we've had our differences, I hope you know that if you need help? You can call me.

(Smile sadly and leave.)

That gives 2 leads: the death of Mr. incredible, and Sinatron. and it gets Hego to maybe call us for help? It's important to note that I do not believe that it's a matter of public record that Incredible ever worked for Kronos, so if Hego wants to know more? He has to call us.

Also, Mirage and Hego have a Canonical Working relationship:

What are you going to do today?

Bringing up Mr. Incredible is too much. For Mirage, for Hego, and for a very public venue. And as much as it would be a helpful mindset to put Hego in (if he believed it, and if he took the lesson we want him to take from it), Mirage was more involved in it than the Deavors or Sinatron ever were.

Agreed. I think we should stay generic, warn him to be on his guard, and re-iterate that he has friends at DEI.

Some baseline assumptions in my plan:
1. There's no Long term here. We are currently in the quest where shit hits the fan. The lead up was done prior in interludes. this is the climax of Incredibles 2 where Evelyn targets her brother's Anti-SRA party. And we are currently at her brother's Anti-SRA Party.
2. There's no public record of Mr. Incredible working for Kronos.
3. There's no public record of Mr. Incredible being active at all since the SRA.
4. Mirage Quit Kronos after the SRA.
5. There Is public record of Mirage quitting, and Hego knows around when that happened.
6. There's no time for Hego to do any research, and even if there was, the man has 7 intrigue, so he's probably not going to find stuff on Mirage being involved in Mr. Incredible's death
7. THEREFORE, Telling Hego that Mirage Worked With Mr. Incredible at Kronos and that Mr. Incredible was treated badly causing mirage to quit will tell Hego the following information only:
7a. That Mr. Incredible Worked for Kronos and Hego is not the first Superhero they hired.
7b. That They treated Mr. Incredible badly enough that mirage, who as they both know works for a self-professed 'Evil Scientist' had enough moral qualms about working at Kronos that she quit.
7c. That Kronos is therefore somewhat untrustworthy and should not be relied upon.

It's NOT telling Hego "I helped kill Mr. Incredible."

Now, we are working on a short time frame. My assumption is that the Gala is about to be crashed either next update or the one after. With those assumptions in mind (and I'm happy to argue over their validity) and with Paddywagon Man's suggestion on Discord, I present the following changes to my suggestion:

SUGGESTION in QUOTES FOR CLARITY OF WHAT IS PART OF IT.
[] "Hego, I like the new outfit. It's a great homage to Mr. Incredible. I hope Kronos, I'm sorry, Olympia, treats you better than they did him. That's why I quit after all. So just be careful, okay?

By the way, there's something about these attacks that makes me feel uneasy. Sinatron is involved in them, but I don't know why. I don't know the specifics, but... Heroes don't need to be lone monoliths. You have friends in DEI, and even if we've had our differences, I hope you know that if you need help? Please, call me.

Rather than hinting that Kronos is behind anything specific to a specific person, just remind him that the whole corporation was anti cape before the sudden switch?

The goal of the entire thing is to get Hego to call us when shit hits the fan. I'm not a big fan of cutting out the portions intended to tell Hego to call us, and hinting that shit will hit the fan soon.
 
Edited the vote slightly.

[x] "Hego, I like the new outfit. It's a great homage to Mr. Incredible. I'm glad Olympia treats you better than they did capes like him. That's why I quit after all. So just be careful, okay? (Pause with sad smile)
-[x] "By the way, there's something about these attacks that makes me feel uneasy. You have friends in DEI, and even if we've had our differences, I hope you know that if you need help. Please, call me if you see something (Gives Hego her phone number).

Modified Strat's vote to make more sense.
  • Giving Hego her personal phone number makes a lot more sense than giving him a random security earbud for a company he no longer works when he probably already has one from Olympia. Plus shipping potential is funny.
  • Removed the direct reference to Kronos doing anything bad to Mr. Incredible, changed it to a reminder that they did bad things to capes in general.
  • Removed the paranoia inducing stuff and having it come across more as a genuine offer of friendship
Oh yeah, the vote is open now.

Now that's some good shit right there. Way less sketchy than Strat's.

I have Bolded My changes to the text from @Nystical. To reinclude the paranoia inducing conspiracy stuff at a lower level because I want Hego distrusting Kronos.

You'd like to say you turn your attention back to Hego, but in all honesty it never really left. His outfit has been updated ever so slightly, the colors slightly shifted to be more in tune with Olympia's color scheme, spandex rippling over firm… you blink. "Hello, Hego. How has Olympia been treating you?"

"Mr. Deavor and his sister have been fantastic employers! I really believe in what they're trying to do here tonight- did you manage to catch what I did on the news the other day? I managed to take down a critical number of Paine's associates, making the streets of Reno clean once again!"

"I've seen. You're all over the news. I admit you cut a very… dashing figure."

Shut up shut up shut up shut up
I think I need to change my vote.

Mirage already asked how they are treating him, so something like this instead to make it flow more naturally.
