[X] You don't tell anyone yet.

It feels a bit off that Amani would pause enough that she'd call anyone, though having Anja or J6 involved in whatever comes next could be very interesting. Awaiting the next update with baited breath though, whatever the decision.

From an 'In Character' perspective we can't be 100% sure it is Mosi. We're currently in the middle of doing some extra-sneaky stuff for our maybe-girlfriend's spy friend; who has been sort of extra paranoid about all of this, so our thought-to-be dead sister calling us out of the blue just after we got talking with J6 (who is the product of some super skeevy, definitely not entirely aboveboard, science experiments) should induce some serious paranoia. There is something weird afoot, and telling no one is a non-starter I think in the moment. We need someone to tell us whether we're going insane or not.

That seems a bit too paranoid for me to follow. Not only does virtually no one know about the little transmitter, most wouldn't even recognize what it was. How would they even impersonate someone they don't have records on? Why bother impersonating some random schmuck's presumed-dead sister?

No, a smuggling operation looks like the obvious answer to me. But you're right about Amani needing someone to tell her if she's going crazy. So, Anja. She's Saturnian. More than anyone else available, she should know about Saturnian smugglers, if only through cultural osmosis and not any direct interaction with them. Places to avoid, names not to say too loud, people to avoid, stuff like that. What if Mosi's in trouble with the smugglers? What if Mosi IS a smuggler?!

I could see that making sense, in the heat of the moment.

[X] You call Anja.

Poor Anja. She's really getting put through the wringer, these days. :p

Also, I want to clarify that I have absolutely nothing against voting based on meta reasons. That's totally fine (and very fun!). I just personally prefer to choose options that have the strongest internal consistency possible, regardless of the consequences.

She's making the call in the elevator.

I know this isn't what you meant, but I'm just imagining that call going like "Hey, Anja, you're Saturnian! You know about criminal stuff, right?"

Of course that is literally exactly what I meant. :D What else would I have... wait, are you saying Anja would be...

...

...embarrassed to show off her expertise?! Darn... I hadn't thought of that. Now I feel bad!

(No, you may not write in "I call THE POLICE and have them arrest Mosi" or anything similar : p This is your sister who you'd given up for dead, not an enemy infiltrator trying to overthrow your government.)

There are police on this station? I don't recall seeing any. :p

Nice update again. And a trickier choice too!

...or not.

[X] You leave a message for J6 to see when she's done talking to the princess.
 
[X] You call Anja.

Can't help but feel like leaving a message for Mom makes plenty of sense, too, though.

"Hey, Mom, whenever you get this, turns out you've got extra kids again."

Yay! J6!

"Hm." She stares past you into the middle distance for a second, maybe two. "Yes," she says, finally. "Now would work."

It certainly would. @Gazetteer that was fun.

I don't think there's any evidence we can fight, certainly not fight off a spec ops infiltration squad. Beyond supposing basic naval training and above-average coordination.

Also, while Anja would ordinarily be the choice, her recent emotional roller-coaster and the parallels of losing or gaining siblings are too much to burden her with right now.

Plus, more J6!

I just binged this quest and am kicking myself for not having found this sooner because this is a great thing
Anywho my vote because we could use more J6 in our lives

For those keeping track, J6 is now only one behind Anja. Tentatively giving Wednesday as the deadline for this vote.

So, what's the reasoning for J6 here? It seems kinda weird to call her for this to me, I don't feel like we know her well enough for her to be who North turns to for this.

She's right there and we just left her. I think it's basically leaving a quick note that we're off to see someone so that people know we were gone, not a real talk like a friend would be, but it does make some sense if it's a hurried thing IC.

Just to be clear, I meant the implication to be that Amani left a little earlier than she planned and said her goodbyes so that J6 could take the Princess's call -- as far as J6 is concerned, Amani has gone back to her quarters.
