@Goldfish 's, not mine.
Ah. My apologies.
The fellowship is just as able to make deals with dark powers as anyone else.
[X]Goldfish
If the Fellowship had the resources to make deals with dark powers of that tier, they would be a major power, and not an insurgency. This was something the White Council would have been hard pressed to pull off in the middle of Mexico.
Seems a little unfair considering it's a 3 dot charm for us and costs an essanse to activate.
Meantime we had the option to gain flight at E1.
We dont really have any room to complain; everyone else needs the leg up to compete.
That's not fair.
It seems like a simple task this time around but like Goldfish said earlier, it could prove problematic down the line if we make a habit of rescuing people by bringing them to the FC, showing them stuff we can't afford them spilling, then going out of our way to get their families too.
This time it will only be two families how many next time? The time after that? It could become a legitimate problem in the short term.
Its not really a longterm issue.
By this time next year IC, Molly will have enough in the way of minions on Earth to handle most of this processing for her, and the financial resources to do so.
With specific regards to people fleeing from Spanish-speaking Latin America, the obvious destination, and a place where they get preferred immigration status, is Spain. For Brazilians, it's Portugal.
We just need to double check and actually set up the groundwork and support infrastructure for that sort of thing.
Hold them off Earth for a year or three until the hunt for them has died down, then relocate them with a new face.
More broadly? This was always going to happen.
What do you think Molly is going to do with knowing human collaborators, people who hurt others for money or favors and could still do so? She isnt going to shoot them outright the way the Fellowship might, but neither is she going to leave them to do more harm.
Indefinite confinement in our Hell has always been on the table for that category of enemy.
I know it was pointed out back when the Hell design discussions were being made.
COMMENTARY
I didnt even consider counterfeiting as an option. Huh.
Lol Molly too dumb to talk to her bankers. Yeah, a bunch of minimum competencies we need to spend time on so we're not just rolling an Intelligence dice pool.
One of the reasons to prioritize building an interdimensional phone: Being able to call or text your loved ones and tell them that you are alright. Not that Charity is going to unclench until Molly walks in the door, but I presume Leech/Wraith got a message from Clippy when Molly was secure.
Its always nice to surprise your QM
Im not entirely sold on our ability to alter Seeker's behavior, but it seems logical IC after that conversation that Molly had with Uriel; that one never has one goal when he does something, and it fits his characterization, and how it would affect Molly's thinking.
Besides, if we can pull it off, it would be a huge feather in our cap.
A reputation-making incident, if in a different manner than from shanking a heavy hitter.
Im game to try.
Carefully.
