I like 3. Pulling in the ex-slaves seems a good idea.

Thank you for your vote, mon ami! It would seem that we will have another brutal verbal riposte between Vinson and those two.

Vote for 3 if it’s not too late for this submission. There’s a lot of narrative gold to mine in memory, so the story could really go in a lot of directions.:)

Not late! There is still time till Thursday. What would Vinson say? You think he is going to be terrifying and eloquent or reassuring and hopeful?

Expand full comment

Possibly the later, but certainly a combination of all of the above for a full range.

Thank you for your vote! Have you been following and reading the older story?

Three. Motivating the ex-slaves seems like the clearest course of action. Vinson's tactics might work with Zhur or the corpo, but he has a much better chance with a receptive audience, one already on his side. All he has to do in that case is move them in the direction they're already leaning.

Thank you for your vote! Indeed, boosting the morale of the troops will work quite well in this case.

I like option two. Since Berul is the one ultimately calling the shots, get her spun up. If she falters and starts making stupid calls, it could cause some discontent between her and Zhur. Mess with her emotions and start a cascading effect of dumb decisions.

Thank you for your vote! I also think that this option is great :D

Option '3' sounds good! Let's see him consult his handbook, and put some cracks in their fragile minds! 😎

Bullies and scum like this corpo, they assume themselves all powerful. Until they bump into someone whose business is to crush them.

The warriors are so ready. And I vote for #3. Unleash the Terran Word on the both of them. Be fun to watch them lose their minds forever.

Hmm, this is actually a tough choice. I’m honestly leaning toward option two but option one wouldn’t be a bad choice either.

You have days to make your choice :) I do hope you are liking the story so far.

I am! And I think it’s going to be option two for me :)
