sorry, i've kind of been speculating hard. rather than wanting information, i really just want to try and find a way to get external support (and focused on this action as a way to ask other kings for it) because my prediction was that it'd be nescesary to get past multiple kings investing against us.
maybe there's other ways to achieve that? lobbying publicly and hoping for the best seems like a long shot though, any ideas?
(seriously don't worry about convincing me on how we should start on this immediately though, i'm part of that camp :P. was just considering politeness as a good way to start it off, though changed my mind with how diplomacy actions campaigning can reduce the DC quite a bit and how low the chance of getting support was by asking/how campaigning might get people joining in on their own anyhow)
there's an option to wheedle russ for information, which is presumably him giving either general "here's what their deal is" information or stuff that russ specifically knows like information on his past missions (that aren't super secret). it's probably not *highly* secret information since it's things russ is willing to give us, and is definitely not seeding CAIA with spies (since we have a seperate action to do this, and it says that russ shouldn't be included)
if you mean "there's no point to understanding CAIA other than seeding spies" then fair enough, but information of what they're doing/how dangerous they are should be valuable on its own? especially if it helps us with russ-related actions
we don't *need* to chat with Alan and Wendy, I'd put it at a lower priority compared to stuff that impacts us specifically to be honest (talking to both of them would take half of our personals, and if we talk to other people that are wanted we'd have no time for anything else)
if the issue is the stress/trauma they're going through, we're not the best person to help? it's just personals are the only (non-therapy, which isn't an option this turn) tool available, but it would probably be putting a square peg in a round hole here to try and force things. even if it's something that could help, it's probably seriously not worth it compared to actions with other results
i didn't think Yokai kidnapped the doppleganger AI, but busted trevor for trying to create a doppleganger (and thus the issue is that the doppleganger *isn't* with Yokai, though i may be remembering wrong here. regardless, Wendy doesn't need an action for mental health for something she herself doesn't know about.
meanwhile, alan could help but there's nothing making sure he'll open up with us and even if it does, it probably won't be immediately useful? better to just do the digital quest and find out information that way, and we may be able to talk to him afterwards (once there's something to talk *about* and he can't keep it secret)
if talking to russ is a personal on our end, there shouldn't be anything stopping russ from taking a different personal/national on his end right? hopefully there's no conflict
