First one as it appears to afford the least risk to all involved.

Check the 2nd episode and you'll see exactly what your choice led to :) If you wish, please restack each of the chapters with a note when you read them, so more people can find these.

I love this idea of creating an interactable story. I would've picked #1 if I found this earlier, but I got a lot of catching up to do!

My friend, you can still vote on chapter 11!

I think the first one is what I would choose from the perspective of caution, after all, one must not play recklessly when there are lives at stake.

Thank you for voting! I am working on a Haiku for Terran Tuesday rn. Btw, these pirates or Clanners, as everyone on the Fringe calls them, they have quite the lore. And those three, they are on the mid scoundrel spectrum when one compares then to other Starshatter villains :D

Thank you for voting! I can't wait for next Sci-Friday :) Tomorrow is Terran-Tuesday and I have plenty of Haiku material to work with. The comments here are absolutely awesome :D

Another choose your own adventure! That makes three in the Substackverse unless I am slow on the uptake and you’ve done them before. Anyway, choosing option 1, because I saw it clearest in my minds eye, (just giving you fodder for your haiku)

I vote for option 1, as it seems to provide the most protection for the victims.

This is a really fun idea. Good luck with it. I think '2' would be a great choice. It's very cinematic, and seems like it would create a scene that is the most tense and action-packed... 😎

I cannot wait to see how this entire story will end :D
