What's the benefit for us doing it?
Is it a match for all the information about our abilities being leaked to... literally everyone?
@Yzarc your dialogue work has been improving. This update was particularly good also.

Is it a match for all the information about our abilities being leaked to... literally everyone?
@Yzarc your dialogue work has been improving. This update was particularly good also.
Because as an exalted these are one the least of our abilities this list is going to be obsolete within a couple of weeks, clears our deal-making of being thought of as Master effects, makes our blatantly obvious abilities seem like the only ones we have and makes us seem like we get along with the PRT.

...our abilities are already leaked. We're revealing nothing of real note. We're a fucking Trump who's powers grow over time, cooperation shows we cooperate and it makes them more genial with us.
So it's more reveal trivial details for good will. A trade you make 100 times out of 100.
Edit: along with everything revealed above.

Right now we have a very large crowd worth of desperate people that we want this to leak to from the PRT. I don't know what services we will ask of them, but I am sure that we can use that for something.

The Spark of Madness
13th January 2011
Danny and Taylor sat nervously in the lawyer's office, waiting for the meeting to begin. Margret, their lawyer, sat across from them, flipping through a stack of papers with a focused expression.
"Thank you for coming in today," Margret began. "I know we spoke briefly on the phone but it seems that things are happening in the background that you need to be made aware of."
"Before we proceed," Margret stated, "I want to make sure you both are comfortable speaking with officer Wilson, the officer investigating the case."
She then turned to Taylor.
"Ms. Hebert, I know you said that you want to give your statement but you've just woken up. If you're not up for this, we can always do it later. It was brave of you to give us your diaries, but it is ok if you want some more time" Margret said, with a gentle expression.
Taylor took a moment to collect herself before nodding.
"I'm okay. I am ready, let's...get this over with." she replied, her voice wavering slightly.
Margret smiled warmly. "Thank you, Ms. Hebert. You're a brave young woman. If at any point you feel uncomfortable or need a break, you can stop."
With Taylor's reassurance, Margret turned back to Danny who nodded back.
"One last thing Danny, I understand you have questions about the PI, James," Margret said. "Due to the circumstances of your case, it was taken up directly by the police department. James only managed a preliminary check before it was taken out of his hands. We've spoken and he will not be charging you for what little he did."
Danny nodded, grateful. "Thank you for letting us know," he replied.
Margret noded. "Of course, Danny. If you have any more questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask."
On the confirmation, she pressed the intercom button. "The client wants to proceed with the meeting. Jessie, please send in James and Officer Wilson."
A minute passed and there was a knock at the door. James, the private investigator they had hired, entered the room, followed by Officer Wilson.
"James, Officer Wilson, this is Danny Hebert and his daughter Taylor," Margret introduced, gesturing to her clients.
"Nice to meet you," James greeted, shaking their hands. "I've been looking into the case, and…..well things blew up, in a good way for the both of you."
Officer Wilson nodded in agreement. "I've been working on gathering evidence, and I think we're nearly ready to take it to the next level," he added.
As the officer finished speaking, James cleared his throat and addressed Danny and Taylor. "I just want to clarify my involvement in the case. I was doing a basic check as part of my preliminary investigation, when I came across a number of concerning issues."
He paused, choosing his words carefully. "I reached out to my contacts in the police department to discuss these findings, and it was at that point that they told me to step away from the case."
Danny and Taylor exchanged a glance, absorbing this new information. It was clear that the case was more complex than they had initially thought.
"Thank you for your honesty, James," Danny said, breaking the silence before looking at officer Wilson.
Officer Wilson then addressed Danny and Taylor. "I want to be upfront with you both," he began. "There are a number of issues regarding the case that I cannot explain at this time."
James nodded in agreement. "Nothing good will come from meddling," he added. "Best you two don't get any more involved than you already are."
Margret, who was listening intently, furrowed her brow. "Is there a problem, James?" she asked, noticing the serious look on his face.
James hesitated for a moment before responding. "Not if you don't look too deep," he said cryptically, exchanging a long look with Officer Wilson. "Let's just say that the girls have, or rather had, friends in high places."
Margret's expression darkened, understanding the implications of James's words.
Officer Wilson cleared his throat, directing his attention to Taylor. "Ms. Hebert, I understand this may be difficult, but I will need to take your statement regarding your ordeal," he began. "If you're not comfortable talking about it now, we can schedule another time for me to come back."
Taylor took a moment to collect her thoughts before nodding. "I'm ready to talk," she said, her voice steady.
Officer Wilson nodded in understanding. "Thank you, Ms. Hebert. I will do my best to make this as comfortable for you as possible," he assured her.
But before the interview began, James stood up and cleared his throat, gaining the attention of everyone in the room. "My involvement in this case is over," he began. "I've completed my job and it's time for me to step back. I want to thank Margaret for the opportunity to assist and I wish both of you the best moving forward." he said and walked towards the door.
As James was leaving, Danny quietly activated the Crown of Truth, using its power to ask, "What does he know about the case?"
Lost 1 Willpower-> Now at 6/7.
The Crown's power surged through him, and he felt a rush of information flooding his mind. He saw glimpses of James's findings, the leads he had followed, and the connections he had made. Danny's eyes widened as he processed the information, realizing the significance of James's discoveries.
As Danny sat in the meeting room, his thoughts were a whirlwind of confusion and disbelief. The information from the Crown of Truth had revealed a shocking truth, the PRT, the very organization meant to protect people like him and Taylor, was involved with one of the girls in the case. And to make matters worse, James suspected that she was a parahuman under their Wards program.
Danny felt a mix of anger and betrayal. How could the PRT, an organization sworn to uphold justice, be involved in such a way? And what did it mean for their case?
Danny leaned back in his chair, reflecting on James's warning. It all made sense now, James had known about the PRT's involvement with one of the girls and the potential risks it posed. That was why he had urged them not to get too involved, to tread carefully.
Danny shook his head, pushing aside his thoughts about James for the moment. He turned his attention to Officer Wilson, who was now taking Taylor's statement.
As he listened to Taylor recount her ordeal, Danny felt a swell of pride. She was strong, resilient, and he knew that together, they would get through this. He made a mental note to be there for her, to support her in any way he could. But first…..
"Why is the Police so eager to pursue this case?"
Lost 1 Willpower-> Now at 5/7.
As Danny used the Crown of Truth on Officer Wilson, he found himself delving into the consequences of his actions at the Merchant gathering. What he discovered shocked him, when he, as Faust, had tricked everyone into breaking their oaths, it had caused a ripple effect that reverberated throughout Brockton Bay.
The broken oaths had led to chaos and confusion among the Merchants and drug dealers, with many of them turning against each other.
The revelations from Officer Wilson's memories were unsettling. As they turned on each other, offering up information to save themselves, they exposed a web of corruption that extended far beyond their ranks. Many police officers and government officials were implicated, their involvement in illegal activities laid bare.
Danny realized that his actions had inadvertently sparked a chain reaction that was now unraveling the city's criminal underworld and exposing corruption within the Government and police force.
Something that Director Piggot apparently took advantage of. Seeing an opportunity in the chaos caused by his actions and using it as leverage to assert her jurisdiction, she pounced on the opportunity to arrest many crooked cops and officials. Piggot argued that with parahuman involvement, the PRT was better equipped to handle the situation and ensure that justice was served.
The remaining police officers and many slighted government officials deeply resented Director Piggot for this. They saw it as a naked power grab, a way for the PRT to expand its influence at their expense, with the police and others feeling sidelined and marginalized in the face of Piggot's authority.
The power struggle between the PRT and the police department was reaching a boiling point and the police, resentful of the PRT's interference, saw them as nothing more than glorified gang members complete with Parahuman enforcers. On the other hand, the PRT viewed the police as obstructionists and dead weights.
When James brought this case to them, they jumped at the opportunity to strike back, by targeting one of her wards. They were eager to expose any wrongdoing and undermine Piggot's authority, seizing the chance to assert their own power.
As tensions mounted, the city of Brockton Bay became a battleground for control and authority. Both sides were determined to come out on top.
The biggest break was when one of the girls, Madison Clements, confessed everything to the cops and gave proof in the form of phone texts in exchange for clemency.
Her confession resulted in a major breakthrough in the case. Her cooperation with the police provided crucial evidence that allowed the police to bring the other two girls in for questioning.
Emma was currently in police custody being questioned, Alan apparently unable to protect her. But the other girl, Sophia was taken away by the PRT who denied the Police's authority by citing parahuman involvement. This blatant disrespect infuriated the Police even more
The PRT's decision further fueled the tension between the two organizations. The police saw it as a complete and total disregard for their jurisdiction and a challenge to their authority. The power struggle between the PRT and the police department escalated rapidly, with both sides becoming increasingly hostile towards each other.
This was where Brandish came in like a bull in a china shop, throwing her support behind the Police Department. Her support added jet fuel to the fire, injecting a new dynamic into the power struggle. Her backing lent more credibility and strength to the police department's position and her actions further complicated an already tense situation, setting the stage for a showdown between the PRT and the police department.
How all of this was not in the public news, Danny did not know. He could only shake his head even as the officer thanked them for their time and left with copies of Taylor's diary and other evidence.
As the door closed, they remained silent before Margret let out a sigh.
"Well, that was certainly something," Margret remarked, breaking the silence that had settled over the room. "It looks like things are moving forward at breakneck speeds, but we need to be prepared for whatever comes next." She glanced at Danny and Taylor, her expression thoughtful.
"Blackwell is under investigation for 'obstructing an ongoing investigation' and for 'destruction of evidence'," Margret explained. "As such, the school's legal team reached out to us to settle the matter." She paused, looking at Danny and Taylor.
"The school, and I suspect whoever is backing one of the girls, are offering us everything we wanted and more," Margret explained, a hint of satisfaction in her voice. "They're willing to provide a large settlement and the police are already conducting an investigation into the school's actions. I also managed to convince them to approve a transfer for Taylor into Arcadia, if that's something you both still want." She looked at Danny and Taylor, gauging their reactions.
"Given the police's aggressive pursuit, it's likely that whoever is behind the girls wants to settle this quickly and quietly," Margret continued. "You may be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) as part of the settlement." She paused, letting the information sink in. "It's a common practice in cases like this to ensure confidentiality and my recommendation is to take it quickly. As the more time passes, the less likely they are to offer such generous terms."
"What about the three girls?" Danny asked, already knowing what he was about to hear.
"Given the current circumstances," Margret started, "it would be advisable to allow the police to handle this as it is now a criminal matter. Additionally, since the school is offering such a large settlement, it will not look good before the court to try and file a separate case against them. My honest opinion? Take the deal and move on, especially since Taylor has recovered physically. Whoever is behind this? Not worth fighting with." She looked at Danny, gauging his reaction to her advice.
Danny glanced at Taylor who nodded. With Taylor's nod of agreement, Danny turned back to Margaret. "Alright, we'll follow your advice," he said, a sense of relief evident in his voice. "Let's go ahead with the settlement and focus on moving forward."

Coil's power is supposedly a precognitive simulation, not an actual multiple-universe manifestation, so it shouldn't count.
On the other hand Infernals are resistant to precognition, so Coil's power may not be able to model Danny's actions correctly.

Danny does not know what would happen and given the results, Coil would not try it.
That said, yes Danny is outside fate, even if he is emulating Shard powers.

Well if all that bad luck on merchant oathbreakers is also outside fate then Coils power just got fairly useless. Don't see what else he can do besides just leaving the bay. Or killing Faust, but he can't even be sure that will work.
I assume that doing so would result in him dropping the wrong timeline.

And that is why we should not accept the settlement and NAIL THEIR ASSES TO THE WALL! Accepting the settlement is proving that Taylor is worth less then the PRT's PR. Completely out of character for Danny, the Union man who has fought tooth and nail against the powerful corporations to keep the Dockworkers fed. If it drags out and we are close to losing the court case, we threaten to release everything on National news about how the PRT is covering for their pet psychopath's actions to keep another child soldier by sacrificing Citizen Taylor.
Also,
[X] Do not visit Alan. Let it go.

They ARE getting nailed to the wall. To be clear, there are two cases.
A Civil Case - Made by Danny that never got filed.
A Criminal Case - Being investigated by the police that Danny has no control over.
To be abundantly clear, the best that would result from the Civil case was imposing damages on the school and Girls, which as minors, their families would pay off. Since the School is settling the matter, the damages have already been paid and if a case is seperately filed, it would amount to malicious litigation since Danny and Taylor no longer have a CIVIL leg to stand on.
The Criminal case is completely out of their hands and given how rabid the Police is being in perusing it, Danny, literally cannot do anything more to ensure that Justice is being met. As far as Danny knows? Emma has been brought in for questioning and Madison is making a plea for a lesser sentence. Sophia is in limbo until one side gives up, which may very well be the PRT. Blackwell has been arrested and the School is in deep trouble for trying to hide the Biohazard locker from the Police. Especially with Brandish pushing for greater accountability.
The second consideration is that both he AND Taylor are parahumans. Until he gets a group together? He does not want to bring more attention to their Civilian lives. I mean, what do you think would happen if the Empire finds out that he is a "Parahuman" let alone Faust, who is the local boogyman in the cape scene?
What would happen to Taylor?

At this point even if the Police don't get Sophia the PRT is likely to nail her to the wall for putting them in this position.

Ah, my apologies, I didn't realize there were two cases being filed and this was for the civil case.

No Worries. There are a LOT of politics involved and even without rolling, I can safely tell you that Sophia is in Deep Deep trouble.
