[ WITH THE FURY OF A THOUSAND PASSIONATE SUNS, IT'S IIDA ( "who's iida", some of you might ask. well, this is iida. ): ]

OPHELIA, MAY WE HAVE YOUR ATTENTION! Thank you in advance! Ciri and I have been working together to gather information that our group may find pertinent to our work here in Drakstaden. She has been fantastic to work with, and we hope you are able to make something of our hard work and findings. Pst. It's all you -- !

Ah, please. The compliments aren’t needed — [ She clears her throat a bit awkwardly, trying to hide the tone of her flustered words. ] Loose lips speaking distaste of the current government have most certainly caused problems for this world, however… We have found a bit more information. Some names which may prove useful if we intend to find a successor. One that could do well to ensure the voices of the lower, middle, and upper class are all heard equally and with as much weight.

[ If he had a paper to wave, he'd be waiving it. Instead, y'all get Robot Hand Gestures (TM). ] We've managed to gather a list of names, all of them imprisoned dissenters: Oskar Bjorkson, Elsi Simonsdottir, Valdor Fritsson, Gabriel Ymirson, Lilla Sagasdottir, Camilla Noelsdottir.

We don't know much more than that, but we wanted to bring our findings before you all and see what you thought. I know we discussed several options on the entry from our guildmates "lokiofasgard" and "beloved" and that many of you already have pursued your own paths. To that end! If you had any ideas or current work that might benefit from this information, it is yours. Personally, we had the idea that these people might be useful in upholding part of Ophelia's mission: protecting the lower class from complete eradication.

Honestly, all of these people could very much be as horrible for the job as they are great — do we feel it’s worth the risk to… “liberate” them somehow and possibly include them in Rost’s plans?

[ TL;DR: So, Iida and Ciri rustled up the names of some of the imprisoned dissenters. What Ophelia wants to ( or does not want to do ) with this information is up for debate. This is backdated to before the Electric Sheep event went live, for the reasons you'd expect?? ]

We leave them there, and we don't get whatever resources or information they have.

We get them out, and we run the risk of them being caught again.

No matter what, this isn't going to be easy. But if there's a chance that they can help, we should hear what they have to say. It'd be stupid not to.

I'm not saying we assume they'll be politicians. That's a big leap to make.

If it's the information we care about and not their lives, we don't have to rescue them at all. We can break in, interrogate them, and leave with their information sans the risk of taking them with us.

Maybe. That would probably be the most reasonable way to do it.

But what are the odds we'll have time to interrogate them? And if we aren't getting them free, there's a chance we'll be risking their lives. There are people on this team who don't care for that.

Honestly? Probably not any worse than the odds we'd have time to get them out without setting off a dozen alarms. Either way, we risk their lives. If we get caught, then they get caught. There's no safe option.

Well. Let's see what we can find out about them first. None of this will really matter if it turns out they just said some mean things about the Prime Minister.

Matters to them if we leave them to die in prison for saying mean things about the Prime Minister. We just have to decide what the priority is here.

You know, it sounds like even if you're arguing, you don't know what you think is right.

I know exactly what I think is right. But I'm not looking to advocate a plan based on my morality or lack thereof. The point is that this group can't decide what its priority is, and we're all gonna end up face down, ass up on this if we don't make up our collective mind.

Don't judge us so quickly. It takes a little time.
