Honestly recruting Yara probably puts JU as another faction in Qsanyin Civil War making Jar our enemy.

But well his already backing Crusade so he's already an enemy so now its about beating him and having Yara control Qsanyin instead.
Yes, since they are probably bankrolling a good chunk of their operations, we can assume that Jair Oliviera will push to make Crusade interfere and try to prevent us from getting Yara.
 
But yeah, I broadly agree: Nailing Jair is going to do some damage to Crusade.

Firstly, we cut off a big chunk of their income. Dominion, ASL, and Horae, plus whatever money the Philosophers have, is probably not inconsequential, but Osayin isn't the world's biggest megacorp for nothing.

There's also the morale effect. One of the 'leaders' or 'backers', planning to have his daughter murdered and replaced by a clone from a hired villain? That's gotta shake Silvio some, and make Hawk sweat.
 
I would love it if we had a totally normal meeting with Yara and then proceeded to do a genre shift to horror as the location we're meeting her in gets assaulted by zombies cloned metahumans.
 
I'm looking at some ideas. I've been toying around with, instead of my Space-Time Wizard idea for Homer (Zeno, Memoria, Hunch):

Lightstep + Red Huntress

Enhanced Speed x2
Enhanced Senses x2
Fitness
Invulnerability
Enhanced Strength
Transformation
Invisibility
Energy Manipulation
Clairvoyance
 
I have an easy way to publicly undermine Stockpile.

Simply point out; that if Valliant Silver's armour is so dangerous because it (supposedly) draws power from the Leviathan, why is he using it?
 
That just makes me more suspicious.
We know for a fact that he's not lying about Monarch making deals with Lethal Anodyne (see: Homer's segment from Faustian). If he was lying, I'm almost certain Bitterman would have had an ESP check happen during his phone call with us. That didn't happen, just a Rep check. He's on the level, Samsara and Gerridae are vouching for him, and Gerridae has revenge reasons that seems to be making her immune to her boss's charms.

He probably has a separate power source he's drawing from. PREVAIL is reverse-engineered, and given that Nora's original didn't have teleportation in it, it's clear he's put his own twists on it.

The " If he was lying, we'd get an ESP check" is funny to me because that would outright tell us he's hiding something, which would be counter-productive to the whole idea of someone hiding their intentions. Besides, the fact that he has that info on Monarch is a point of suspicion, and him volunteering this information to us means little as Monarch has basically no allies outside her own faction.

This is doubly true now that we know destabilizing Monarch gets Crusade closer to their likely real goal. We are in an annoying situation where we can't let Crusade pounce on a weakened Monarch even though we ostensibly agree she should be gone.
 
I mean, we have Bitterman testimony on his design philosophy: He's never going to give us a trap option.

E: At at the very least, going after the three options (Shroud, Third Person, Abarimon) will give us more insight into the situation and we owe it to Wolong to help him with those, given our agreements.

@Bitterman, if we had taken Magical girl mission earlier, would we have been able to contact our half-sister before she started using pieces of the Frozen Throne on herself.
