I wasn't being particularly clever. I'm pretty sure that's why it is option V instead of A in the first place, since the ship is the Vendetta and it is the obvious reference/joke. :v:

Every scenario makes someone angry. Serious business, and all that. I just think it's a missed opportunity.

Definitely go with B for that feel-good post-apocalyptic storyline, without actually going with the Taurians themselves (who, as I said, are dicks without being clever about it). I hereby dub the chief antagonist the Ayatollah of Rock-and-Rolla in advance, of course.

I hope the B mission crew gets a Mechwarrior RPG mission to infiltrate a Taurian base to plant a nuke on a dropship bound for the Vendetta.

So Texas with uranium then.

You know who doesn't get to vote? The Sirdar New Syrtis Militia. They didn't vote to secede from the Draconis Suns. They didn't sign off on assassinating the Pope of Periphery Chili-town. They didn't vote to take someone some rear end in a top hat's money to shoot at some other assholes. When everything you know is set ablaze because you made the mistake of existing between two important people, you don't vote. You reach through the vapor and carbon that used to be your father, salvage what you can and use it to beat them back. So it is. So it was; until today. Today someone voted to turn your home into a maelstrom of invisible fire and ash. If you were lucky, your last thought would have been "what's that l-," but you aren't. You're a dying man on a dead world and all that's left to do is to take some voters to hell with you.

So am I misunderstanding or do most people seem to have the idea of B not right? As I understand it, Taurians came, they saw, they nuked, and they moved on. B seems like it'll be a fight against Cappies taking advantage of the havoc the Taurians have left, capitalizing on the defender's now weakened state. I don't think it'll be a fight against the Taurians, unless I misunderstood PTN's earlier post.
