[X] Plan Scars Are Cool.

Calling it now Kana is a fake out protagonist who dies in the prologue to save everyone.
 
[X] Plan Material Damage
-[X] You are not seriously injured or killed
-[X] You don't lose as many people as you'd feared
-[X] The enemy mecha doesn't escape unscathed

@Gazetteer has confirmed to me that spending an Extra Chance after the voting has finished isn't actually an option, so if we want to not die we have to pick that option Now.

If we are going to save ourselves and our friends I'd argue that we should do some damage to the enemy's prototype as well to hopefully put it out of action while we're recovering.
 
I'd also be totally down for this quest instead becoming a sitcom of Kana and Azara going through lengthy recovery periods. Imagine: Kana has been stuck in the same room as Azara for three weeks, and Azara hasn't stopped being annoyingly upbeat and perky for a single minute of it. It would be Kana's own personal Hell.
The thing I like about those two is that, like, Kana actually likes Azara. They're friends. Kana's smug snark plays off of her perkiness in a way that they're both fine with, and is instead only obnoxious for everyone else around them.

Ah, so it's Kana, Azara, and Ryan who are stuck in the same recovery room for three weeks and it's Ryan's personal hell?

Seems like a good idea.

[x] Plan Acquire Pirate Eyepatch

Well, in the absence of reassurance that death will fail to terminate the quest, I'm not foreseeing much of a shot for this option. Still, may as well give it a go! Don't think approval voting is in place? If it is, definitely willing to add Scars Are Cool to my slate as well.
 
For all my tough talk of letting them all die and His Divine Majesty sort them out, this plan has the best chance of keeping precious Azara alive, doesn't dive down the protagonist death rabbit hole, and even has a cool name to boot.

[X] Plan Material Damage
 
[] You are not seriously injured or killed
[] You don't lose as many people as you'd feared
[] The Esther Strova isn't seriously damaged

Well, right back onto the "we're f**ked all the time" ride...


EDIT: Changed to a plan vote.

I know that it was a thing in the previous petals quest to sacrifice the ship at every opportunity, but I don't think that strategy works as well when it's ourselves that we're sacrificing - despite the plan names, I'm pretty sure the end result of us choosing to take serious and potentially lethal damage is going to be a heck of a lot worse than a scar or an eyepatch.

Everybody voting for my Plan Scars Are Cool, the way the vote is going means that it's splitting votes with the very similar Plan Acquire Pirate Eyepatch from VagueZ in a way that means both could easily lose to the very different Plan Material Damage. I would like to request that you all please consider changing your votes to VagueZ's Plan Acquire Pirate Eyepatch. That way we will get something that is closer to what we want than if we were to keep the vote split how it is now.

Edit: Nevermind!
