Which option to pick
"Delete the protocol" is a dead end. The rest are yours to weigh.
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.
A small settlement on Imperial-occupied Raxus Secundus wants help repairing their water purification plant. Arriving at the purification plant, our team uncovers the problem: a system-wide inhibitor protocol installed by the Imperial government of Raxus Secundus, impeding the function of the plant's computer core. What should we do?
ADelete the protocol. Our team can restore running water to more than just this settlement.
Our operators restored running water to all of Raxus Secundus - for a few rotations. As soon as the Imperial Governor noticed, he immediately diverted the water supply, and cracked down on dissidents, making future contracts on Raxus highly unlikely.
BSteal the computer core. The plant isn't working anyway, and starting it up will draw suspicion.
Our team told the settlement that their plant can't be salvaged, and left with their computer core. Hey, they're no worse off than before.
CCoordinate with the settlement. Jae: "We can restore water to the settlement, but unless the Raxians agree to ration themselves, they'll draw Imperial attention."
Jae coordinated the Raxians, drawing up a plan for them to ration their water usage in order to avoid drawing Imperial attention. The water's back, and the settlers are safe.
Requires Jae Mordant assigned.
DSlice into the protocol. Our team can reprogram the computer core to restore some water to the settlement without alerting the Empire.
Our trusty droid successfully reprogrammed the computer core to restore just enough water to the settlement for the people to live on, but not enough to draw Imperial attention.
Requires 1 operator assigned.
