[JAUNT] One more thing (early-ish Week 4)

[breakaleginhalf]

Okay, first of all mad props to Claudia and Jules for getting a cure for the Trojan bullshit sorted. [He'll be getting on grabbing that as soon as he can.]

Secondly, I just got another hot tip from Magician.

"Most mutineers are either extremely close to holding power or extremely distant (and abused by it)."

So I guess we're looking for someone either really high or really low on the Colossus food chain.

Do we have any ideas on what they're supposed to be mutinying about, exactly?

[Look, don't get him wrong, he's fine with revolting against oppressive powers, but so far it hasn't looked like the Defenders are anything like the oppressive regime that was in place on the Grid.]

And I'm on my way out to the Towers ASAP, if you're still out there.

If I personally knew that much, definitely would've mentioned. All I'm getting is 'mutineer'.

Still here but not in danger. Just not gone anywhere else yet.

The fates of two systems and an entire people rest on your choices. Whatever the outcome, it will template all future operations between systems. Given Colossus's power, I do not doubt it.

Instead of simply doing what you believe is best for this world based on what you've seen with your own eyes, you are vying for the victory of your Arcanum with little information to go on. You don't even know what kind of person this mutineer is. The parameters of our success must be defined carefully.

[ Altaïr half doesn't sound like his usual medieval self. There is definitely more than just the sprinkling of tech vocabulary borrowed from his overlay. Some of these phrases sound like someone else's words, but who else besides the Investigators would be talking about the Arcana's game? ]

If we're looking for the mutineer as our priority here, I think the better way to narrow it down would be to determine who stands to gain from doing what here. What mutiny is occurring and what does it gain anyone? Our quarry may have already started acting, or they may be waiting to take advantage of the general chaos here.

Who stands to gain if we do nothing, is I suppose my question.
