While this is true, some people might get touchy because I didn't choose the technically highest vote.
Then you should vote >.<
Nah, go for the higher vote. Or else we end up with cases like this where the ones that voted for the losing option ending up winning anyway just because they are faster to the keyboard.

As far as I saw in this Quest, the players are actually pretty mellow... most of the time.
I mean, we are arguing a lot in this thread, but only one argument in 150 pages turned into a small flamestorm... I do not want to call it a war because we were still civil there.
So unless you decide for some reason that refusing to kill is what the majority wants, you should be fine.

Now that I think about it. This ability upgrade our processing speed to allow us to track objects moving at high speed.
Since it upgrades our mind @Rukia, does that means we should also be able to upgrade the amount of information we're able to process with our thermal sense?

We have to test that as soon as possible; it would make for a good practice with Thermal Sense, anyway.
Besides, @Rukia, now we have the majority on the subvote as well
Unless he locked the voted back then. But should be fine now.
I just do not agree with 'this is losing, but should I add this anyway' followed by only people voting for the losing vote going 'Yeah sure that is fine' I mean ofc they would be fine with it they would lose the vote otherwise. Just sketchy as hell.

That's... not how reflexes work, but technically, yes. It does.

Number of voters: 9
That just means there are people out there who would have voted for this, but didn't for some reason.
Also, I bought it up because the votes were very splintered, but the splinters outnumbered the normal vote by quite a lot.

You close your eyes and let your chin drop to your chest. I already knew I was going to be doing this though didn't I? You shake your head and push yourself to your feet. Cmon girl, just like riding a bike. You open your eyes and look down to Morgan. "I understand, but I will know why this is so crucial when I get back." She nods, but you are already half way across the room, looking to where Una is quietly peeking around the door. When she catches sight of you, she tries to duck back, before realising that it's pointless. She comes around the corner looking downcast, toeing the floor and avoiding looking at you.
You gently kneel down next to her and raise her chin with a finger, you wait for her eyes to lock to yours and see your gentle smile before speaking. "Hey, it will be fine. There isn't anything in the world that could stop me from coming back to you." You draw your arms around her shoulders and rest your chin on her head. "It'll be fine, just you see." You hear quiet little sniffing noises, but you can feel her nod against your chest before she steps back.
She looks up at you and put her best smile on. "That's 'cause you are Big Sis, you are the Best!" She shakily nods to herself, before nodding more solidly. She pulls away from you, running back into her room to grab the radio headset she had been trying to hide from you. She slides it over her head and reaches over, grabbing the radio off of the table and helping you clip it to your belt. "Big Sis will be fine, you just unleash the power of love!" You nearly trip in your walk at that, spinning around and just catching a tiny smirk before her face is carefully blank again.
You narrow your eyes at her, but just smile a little as you open the door. "Right then, I'll be back in... seven?" You look to Morgan, who nods. "Seven-ish hours. I'll see you then." Just before the door closes, you call back to your sister. "And be good for Morgan you hear?" You heard a muffled call-back as you turn the corner, straightening your back and letting your smile fade away. When people see you pass now, they get half-way to smiling, before they see the grim look on your face. They clear the path before you, one of them actually opening the door to the Garage for you. You spare her, a young girl who was shorter than you, a curt nod in thanks.
Your driver is waiting as normal, popping the door open for you before climbing into his own seat. You see his eyes flick to yours in the middle mirror and shift a little. "Hey, you're lookin a littlle glum there, get into an argument with your girlfriend?"
The stiff atmosphere is promptly brushed away as your mind comes to a stumbling halt, spluttering at him before you right yourself. "She's not my girlfriend." You shake your head, the situation settling in on you again. "No, I just..." Fuck it, this guys been straight with me. "They are sending me out to kill a dark mage."
There is silence after your statement, stretching for a long moment, but eventually you hear a long sigh from the front. You can just about make out a fuckin hell before he speaks to you. "Ah... My apologies then." The ride is awkwardly silent for a while, but he calls back to you after you take a turn to the motorway. "Your first assassination?" You send him a sharp look at his words, but he just shakes his head, eyes firmly on the road. "I'm not gonna butter it up and use whatever word they hide it with, what was it, cleansing? Something like that. You're being sent to kill someone, that is what it is."
You let his words run through your mind, breath hitching slightly, but you calm your breath and try to respond as evenly as you can. "Yes."
He isn't put off by your curt response at all, and just nods silently. He doesn't say anything for the rest of the trip, the silence only broken by hourly check-ins by Morgan. They were mostly comprised of 'Still driving'. You appreciate his silence, it gives you time to think to yourself.
When you finally arrive at a small village, you manage to catch the name on a sign as you pass it by, Glentham. You stretch as you get out of the car, the driver directing you towards a house across the street. You are greeted at the door by a man wearing a military uniform and holding a gun halfway behind his back. He waves you in, eyes on the surroundings before closing the door behind you. He walks quickly through to the kitchen, where there is a rudimentary war room, with maps and radio's and folders scattered about.
He grabs a folder before handing it to you, sitting as he does. "Hello, sorry for being so curt, we're on a tight schedule here." He nods to the folder. "Read that, it's a better description of your target we've managed to cobble together in the couple of hours we've been here." He waves his arm around the room. "HQ is officially eleven hours old as of ten minutes." He shakes his head as you open the folder. It has a better picture, but the man is still hooded and cloaked, it is showing him creeping over the back of someone's fence.
The folder still has barely anything about the creatures, but it does have a better photo. You look up as you hear the man clear his throat, an old woman coming around the corner dressed in civilian clothes and carrying two cups of tea. You take one with a quiet thank you, before you look to the map on the table. The man shakes his head again and sighs. "Sorry about there, we needed to commandeer a house now, so we had to grab the first one available."
You hear the woman chuckle and call back as you take a sip. "Don't be acting like I'm a stranger sonny-boy, it's been too long since any of you Grandchildren have come to visit." You see the man dip his head, but he continues as if she hadn't spoken, pointing to a spot on the map, a house.
"We've narrowed down his location to this house, though we're pretty sure that he has something out of the village as well." He sucks in a short breath. "I don't know how you magicy people deal with threats like this, but I don't want this spilling out onto the street. Both houses on either side of it are occupied."
You nod as you look at the pictures of the house next to it. "Nothing overtly magical in plain view then, no flying or explosions." You tap your finger on your mug. "It would be best if I could lure him out of the village where I could fight him properly, there are too many people here."
He nods and draws a finger across the map. "We think he's got a base of some kind out in the fields, something underground probably, there is no room for anything overground around here." He taps a particularly large field about three miles away from the village. "We think it's probably here, but we haven't had the chance to search for it."
You nod as you think. "I can find that no problem, I can sense heat in a mile radius, he can't hide from me." The man blinks at you before nodding. "Otherwise, why do you keep saying 'we'? Do I have some backup on this one?"
The man nods as he shifts a file around. "Yes, I've got a scout here under my command and two Enforcers who are going to be doing something about people noticing. We've got a squad of SAS coming down, they'll be here within two hours. Apart from that, if everything goes to shit, we've got an air-strike on standby." He smiles a little sharply. "Fucker ain't gonna get out of this one."
You lean back as you look over the map again, taking another sip. "It's not my place but, this personal?"
He nods slightly. "I've been the guy in charge of tracking him down ever since he decided that he wanted to disappear a soldier." He sounds intensely angry, his teeth creaking as he speaks. "Didn't even know about magic till two days ago when your lot noticed him and gave us the heads up."
You look back over the map and take in your options.

Alright then, team. Have fun, I sit this one out 
Just keep in mind that when we are given the option to wait for backup, the opponent is probably doing something that will make the fight more difficult when not stopped soon.
Probably creating more discount-Shoggoths or something like that.
...now that I wrote it... can we give them that as a nickname?

Wait for backup but destroy his outside base first so to see if we can't lure him out.
Would prefer he does not have time to plan. I assume the house have a backyard so we need to knock and ask the owner.
So we act as a normal girl, knocking on the door to find her ball lost in the backyard of the house, convince him to let us in. Once we got the ball in the backyard, shake his hand, griping it and transform with the Ignition Aura burning his hand off first, that way he would be too focus on the pain while disabling the hand from any use and then dying from full effect of the Aura.
Depends on how fast we can go at full burst.
That way it out of view of the public, also since this is a village we could say we're someone's grandchild from the cities if he knows everyone local.

Okay. Here's a few things to keep in mind:
- Avoid doing anything overtly magical in plain view (no flying nor explosions);
- The dark mage is currently located inside a house (in a village);
- There is no room for anything overground around the dark mage's current location;
- The dark mage is believed to have a base of some kind out in the fields (out of the village), something underground probably;
- If the dark mage escape the house, we should be able to track him since we can sense heat from a mile radius;
- Cerys cannot fight the dark mage properly inside the village since there are too many people.
- A scout;
- Two Enforcers who are going to be doing something about people noticing;
- A squad of SAS within two hours from Cerys' location;
- An air-strike on standby if everything goes wrong.

Actually, I just noticed... we also have this:
With this in mind, the idea from Jrin does have merit as well.
We could just play an act and cast Halt the moment we have him inside of the house, then hit him with the sword.
The joys of not having to transform to cast magic...

It's needlessly dangerous. It would be a much better idea to simply enter the village, act normally while approching the house, then mess with the mage's body temperature as soon as he's within our range.
We could also try to destroy what he's working on with our thermokinesis. It might backfire on us though.

I know we will probably lose that once more people become aware of magic, but we still have it right now.
...
Right?
I think we should already have him in our range... but yes, this might work... or he notices his body temperature increasing and panics.

I prefer keep an eye on the base with an air-strike ready for since his death might release an large monster as a distraction or something. If the SAS arrive they would setup roving patrol or containment if the house releases some of the creatures just in case.
Halt is applying the magic, which could let him react in moments when he feels it. I prefer that we shake his hand inside the house and burn him with the Aura as we face any of his creatures transformed

Well... Atleast Cerys wouldn't be right before him shaking his hand. Touching something or someone we don't know the abilities of is a recipe for disaster.

or at night we could just steadily decrease his body heat until he dies... Unless if we have to kill him today?
But he have to act normal right? At least with the backyard public act of thanks he can't really refuse with nosy neighbours around.
