Which option to pick
Take "the kid's money". It is the only one that hands over Repulsor Units Mk. III.
What the operation puts to you, what each answer pays, and how it turned out. An option with two outcomes is one that can go wrong.
Senator Kanawa wants a skilled team to quickly and discreetly recover her son, rather than paying the hefty ransom his kidnappers demanded. Our team traces the ransom note to a cheap seaside hotel, where they discover the senator's son holed up with his secret Pantoran girlfriend. He offers them his last credits to convince his mother to pay the ransom, which these two crazy kids plan to use to start a new life together.
ATake the kid's money. We're romantics at heart.
Our team told Senator Kanawa that the trail had run cold, and recommended she pay the ransom if she cares about her son's life. Incensed, the senator declared our operators to be incompetent swindlers and ordered them out of her office. Hopefully her son fares better.
BInform the senator. We have a job to do.
Senator Kanawa was incensed, but not surprised. She paid our rate, vowed to drag her son home whether he liked it or not, and asked our team to never speak of this embarrassing event.
