@crystalwatcher - Depending upon the age there, and even for 18+ you still might want to, I think you should probably run that by the mods, just to be safe, because that seems to be pushing on Rule 6.

Point. Was having trouble finding a good lamia picture with claws.

I was referring to real life, but, even taking this into account, killing people usually is the most effective way of preventing them from killing others. If you're referring to this case specifically, the aim is to kill the Xenomorphs who do die when they are killed anyway, so its's still rational
Rational yes, ethical... Eh. Messy, messy business that argument.

I tend to consider it unethical to leave such people alive (I consider people responsible for crimes they chose not to prevent), but yes, that's not a popular point of view.

West isn't a xenomorph, though.

She's not, but that isn't relevant. As the vote to kill her is doing it as an action to protect from the Xenomorphs. It's like cutting down the tree to get what's at the top. You have nothing against the tree. You're just using it to fulfill your objective.
Now, normally that would be unethical, but she doesn't die when she's killed anyway and even if she did, she's confessed, in a zone of truth, that her great ambition for which she strives is to witness destruction and as such, wants to kill as many people as possible. That's not the kind of thing that can be negotiated past. She can't offer us anything that will make that acceptable to us.

No it isn't it's pretty clearly just "kill her". Now, if she actually had a chestburster and we knew that, you'd have a point, but we don't know that.
She didn't, actually. She looked at East and shrugged. That's not a confession of anything.

It's kill her in case she has a chestburster in her.
Fair enough. Not a shining endorsement, but it clears that incredibly low bar set by East.
She might just not care. Which isn't good, but East is kind of... fucked in the head I think. And that is me putting it nicely. So by comparison, West is probably a shining beacon of Sanity.

Shortest fight of the quest. Poor thing didn't even manage to hit anyone.
You sure about that? It's pretty hard to beat Judgement Core's record.

We didn't kill our new pet snek, did we?

Shorter than Nepgear vs Judgement Core?
... I had totally forgotten about Judgement Core's fight.

Yeah, but JC didn't die.
Poor Judgement Core. Her Epic Fight of Awesome Rivalry was such a utter curbstomp the GM didn't think it was even worth remember.
Even worse is that the rematch will probably be just as short.

Considering the amount of exp we're getting... yeah.
Even if Uni manages to powerlevel enough to make it not be a short rematch, she'll be stupefied that Nepgear was able to improve that much in the middle of a combat mission.
FTFY, we upgraded our close-combat, remember? We just need to close with her to use it now. She's faster than us, so she can play keep away.
And of course, we have Indestructable Core on its way as well...
Or our body is gone and only a pink (or maybe pink) glowing core is sitting there, and then there's this awkward suction and popping noise and we have a body again. "...Can we not do that again? That was weird."
Judgement Core Casts End Game
End Game: 11,500 Base Damage, + 29 Dice, +2,300 Full Auto, +2,300 Full Auto, +2,300 Full Auto, +2,300 Full Auto, +2,300 Full Auto = 23,029 Total Damage
Solid Core: 280 Base Resilience, Dice Negated, -210 Juggernaut = 70 Damage Reduction
Indestructible Core Check: 22,729 Damage Reduction
No Longer Human: 115
115 Total End Damage
Solid Core Health: 600 - 115 = 485
Nepgear: "Ouch."
Judgement Core: "What!?!?!?"

OK, the update is pretty much done, but we're still waiting to hear from the mod I contacted on the picture. Once I hear the OK, or the need for a new picture I'll post it.
