Good Cause Simulator: ☆ZRAEL/BARiTONES (sunday)

[idolpro]

[ You’re in a sleek room full of all kinds of sci-fi dials and knobs. You feel like you’ve been here a long time with these people around you, and that you have a lot longer to go before this is all over.

You can hear the distant sounds of the station creaking due to shockwaves from the fighting outside. What is going on in this galaxy? Well, it’s not very important to you. What’s important is surviving.

You have a job to do. ]

Taxes

[flawandorder]

We will pay our taxes. Kyanite put himself in charge of that. Using his natural talent towards logic and statistics he's going to buckle down and learn every corner of tax law in order to abuse every tax break our poor mining people can get in order to show the government that we don't owe anything and in fact owe nothing, it all balances out perfectly.

Job Ability

[flawandorder]

We will also use the job ability to get those 10 extra prosperity points.

Job Points

[flawandorder]

Our 10 Asteroid Miner points will be allocated to Readiness.

Oh good. Tax evasion is an option.

[This is Great.]

EVENT 1

[idolpro]

Your station, and the people living in it are all rather poor. You can’t stand to see the suffering - something needs to be done, you think. There’s a major shipping lane nearby...perhaps you could take a self defense vessel and relieve those merchants of their goods?

EVENT 2

[idolpro]

While working on the mineral line, you notice a problem with a conveyer belt. You can either attempt to fix it, or leave it for the next shift.

EVENT 1

[idolpro]

As a result of your lack of maintenance, your station has ended up in a state of disrepair. It should be no surprise that when gravity season begins, the stress to the paneling causes the station to slowly start to come apart.

This could be a deadly disaster if left alone...but what can you do about it?

EVENT 2

[idolpro]

80% - A mysterious ship has docked at your station today. They call themselves the Hand, but what are they the hand of? The RULER%TITLE’s right hand? The hand of DEITY%NAME? The invisible hand of the ECONOMIC%SYSTEM?

All you know is that things seem to have become colder and darker around the station since they arrived. And news reports throughout [insert species] space indicate that there’s started to be reports...of missing hands. Entire hands, just removed! Without a single trace.

Do you begin the work of removing these Hands, whatever they might be? Or do you let them stay? Do you, perhaps, engage in their handcraft?

EVENT 3

[idolpro]

Who would win? A tax collector or pirates?

Because like, there's a tax collector here. From The Government.

EVENT 1

[idolpro]

One day, in your sleep, your entire family are accosted by ancient spirits that remove one hand. There's no wound left. You are simply dehanded, bloodily.

EVENT 2

[idolpro]

Your government wants you to eliminate a group of humans, and also bird-dragon people but they have hands which have turned out to be incorrigible and violent insurrectionist pirates that have gotten countless people killed for little to no reason.

You're not like them, are you? Take care of it, by any means necessary.

ENDGAME

[cascadingfailure]

You spit in the face of your masters. How could you, after all they've done for you? They could have crushed you like bugs all those years ago, but they found you useful. You had an arrangement, they thought!

Well, no matter. War is waged, and your coup is completely and totally unsuccessful. Those you were told to hunt manage to escape, but you aren't so lucky.

They think about having you executed, as horrid insurrectionist pirates. But as the war dies down and the scars from the insurrection heal, they decide it's best to just let you rot in obscurity, deep in the dark mines where you started your journey.

Still, the hope you gave those who saw your act of solidarity lives on, as a smouldering flame. You may be resigned to die in laborious obscurity,

but it was for a good cause.

Proceed to ENDGAME.
