Keeping to the Dream: A Warhammer Age of Strife Quest

[X] The Moon. It's not just a moon. It's a Machine station of a kind. Elysia never had to deal with things like this and certainly, no records of them emitting Immaterial radiation. The destruction of the Moon in haste might be prudent before over-exposure cause severe harm. All the same, humanity on the planet will suffer all the more.

Rip civilians, but I'm sure you don't want to become chaos spawn.
 
[X] The Machines. As much as the Moon is a problem, clearing the manifold machines and protecting the remnant of humanity in the planetside is of import. It is thankless and perhaps many more of the Expedition, both man and Mechanicus will die than if the fleet focused on the moon, but at the very least, the locals will be most thankful.

Well, pragmatism is well and good but let's not forget who were are fighting for. Let's save the people first before killing the moon! May help with the malaise thingy?

Killing the moon will do the greatest good. Leaving that thing around will bring greater trouble to that region of space, I am sure.

So the imprisoned shard of the Void Dragon can tell what is happening to a fork of Albedo half a galaxy away. That is more than slightly terrifying.

On the one hand, distance through the Warp is a tricky thing, that being why it's used for FTL in the first place.

On the other hand, a shard of the Void Dragon getting information through the Warp, at all.

Might just be Albedo's fork transmitting to Albedo transmitting to the shard, but that has nasty implications about how much time she spends chatting with it, too.

Because fuck the logical thing to do, saving lives is important. And 40K runs on narrative causality as much as relative physics thanks to the Warp existing. So saving lives is my choice here yo.


Also also, heres hoping we get a shot at playing as either the Shipgirl Swarm or the Revolution on Ryza. I would be happy with either!

Yea none of that is good. Best case the VD has massive influence on Albedo and worst case Albedo is compromised to the VD.

We need to take care of our selves first before we can properly help others. I'm truly conflicted about which to choose but, if we let that moon wake too much more taking it out may become harder to eliminate. This would mean more losses in space and our ability to continue on our expedition may become more difficult. Even if this is not the case our ground forces are limited and our expedition has already given up a lot of personnel in previous side choices.

Unless someone can give a very good reason to put our selves at greater risk of force depletion and exposure to Immaterial radiation (beyond helping people) I can not support focusing on the machines. 🥺
 
Yeah, this is like XCOM enemy within terror missions, as much as actively going for the cvilians helps, it's arguably better to focus on the aliens to ensure there's less of them to non to kill the civvies. Cause once the aliens are dead, *all* the civies alive are saved by default.

Might be a mistake but my instinct is to save the civilians.
 
Note that both options deal with the moon. That thing isn't surviving.

The question is what we're focussing on and what we're sacrificing.

The problem's very, very simple:

Unless there's enough space in the flotilla to evacuate the civilians, in any circumstance the Moon's still there they haven't been saved.

It is not a either or scenario it is a what are we focusing on first. The moon to prevent what is doing/what it is going to do, or the machines to save the people on the planet who are about to be attacked by the machines right now.

It is our approach that that caused the machines and moon to act up. So I feel we should do our best to save as many people from what is about to come as possible.

Bitter feelings from a less corrupted polity are preferable to goodwill from a more corrupted polity, because any bennies would be inherently suspect even if they weren't twisted by chaos into giving us 'help and support' that is actually nothing of the kind.
