She's not a helpless toddler, and the Avatar has pretty much done everything but guide her by hand towards the Wards. We might revisit her later, but for now there's plenty of other issues to work on.

This is so heartwarming and well written I could read it over and over again.
Does Avatar have any personal agenda against Nazism, some event or something that affected him personally, or is it just that the malignant and atrocious beliefs and acts associated with it offend his very being? It's interesting, trying to rationalize the personality and motives of a person who is both a concept and yet still a person.

Remember how he explained he was dying in the sun for a few years in the 1940s? Yeah when he finally came back, he saw the shit the Nazis were doing with magic and powers being involved as well.
The Avatar and Nazism
Piggot has asked you to arrange a meeting between Skitter and relevant people in the PRT/Protectorate/Wards, so that's gonna happen regardless of the vote.
Voting for that option moves things from "A meeting between Armsmaster and Skitter? Eh, I'm sure they can handle it. I'll introduce them and get back to my other duties" to "Skitter, Aegis, Miss Militia, relevant PRT agent - let's have a chat, with me as mediator".
Thanks.
Well... If you'll recall, from what's been revealed so far...
In the lead-up to WWII, the Third Reich, having seen where the Avatar's sympathies lie (he had pretty much destroyed the Ku Klux Klan as an organization), hired the alien mercenary Tagton to get rid of him. Tagton trapped him in the heart of the Sun, where he spent half a decade burning alive and regenerating. He finally broke free in 1944, and came to an Earth ravaged by the world war, with the Holocaust at full swing.
So, he helped the Allies kick Nazi ass... only for Nazi mystics, as a desperate gamble, to bring magic back from Limbo. That was one of the biggest - no, the biggest "oh crap" moment of his superhero career, and he has been deeply concerned about the implications ever since.
Meanwhile, the greatest Nazi supersoldier, Blitzkrieg (aka Otto Skorzeny), has managed to survive the end of the war and became an international supervillain. Over half a century later, he's still active, and a member of Global Might, the supervillain team that can fight the Global Champions directly.
And with all of that taken into account...
...his opposition to Nazism is still motivated much more by principle than out of any personal vendetta.

Seeing as the number of options chosen by people varies (some two, some three, some four, etc) how will you determine which actions are taken specifically after the tally?

-[x] It doesn't take a mind reader to figure out that some of the people with the power to make or break the deal are highly resistant (at best!) to the idea of Skitter switching sides.

So, given that there has been less-than-subtle pushback by the two individuals with the most power to make or break the deal - Piggot and Armsmaster - I think our continued intervention might be warranted to make sure that people don't "accidentally" sabotage things.
Hmm. Stunt inbound, with fixes to the other ones.

Note, in case people are wondering: having the PRT handle the logistics of the omnimetal delivery is a bit of a test on multiple fronts. One, it'll help determine if the PRT acts in good faith. Two, it gives you a better idea of the logistical situation on Earth-Bet. Three, it's schmuck bait for whatever idiot villain decides to intercept a shipment.

This is annoying. I was inclined to let the people concerned deal with Skitter's recruitment as rational human beings, but apparently that's too hard for their chip on their shoulder, which might as well be a 30 ton anchor.

To be fair, Skitter did painfully humiliate the heroes on multiple occasions. And single-handedly almost caused Armsmasters career (which is the only thing he cares about!) to tank.
They have good reasons to feel the way they do.

Looks all right.
Plus, there's the whole, y'know, attacking a charity fundraiser. Which as far as most people can tell, wasn't done for money or anything, but just an act of terrorism.
Taylor never gave it much thought in canon, but from the perspective of a lot of people, that's a pretty nasty Kick The Dog moment.

Ayup. Protagonist vision can blind one to a lot of evils.
And is going to make selling to the public the fact that she's switching sides a right pain in the arse. The whole "hard undercover" bit might ease that a bit. And conveniently put the screws on Armsmaster, who knew.

I'm specifically against helping Skitter (I'm saying this while knowing that we are going to help her anyway...) because, quite simply, her importance is going to be much smaller then in Worm and using a lot of time to help her ("preemptively", as the problems haven't really shown themselves yet, and as far as Avatar knows[or will know soon], she will end up as probationary ward which isn't too bad and is what she "deserves") while people are suffering on a much larger scale sounds to me like not thinking about the big picture that Avatar still needs to fix this world and that Taylor's isn't the first, the last, or the worst life to be ruined by the circumstances (S9 victims come into my mind...).
