Something to lead into Campaign 5, perhaps? The zealots among the upper echelon of The Project would be suspicious of anyone whom had been assimilated by NEXUS and then "freed", and any inclusion or alliance with such individuals would be a "pollution" at best and a "cancer to be cut away" at worst. Fantastic story possibilities for sure.Rman Virgil wrote:There is always a little dissent even in paradise.
Which is to say, The Project would have its naysayers on specific policy. Simply because the post-collapse world would not be one of exuberant abundance and thus there would be major debates over the allocation of scarce resources to any particular effort.
In this particular case there would be, I'm imagining, a Project contingent that would question the veracity of this Nexus schism and would even suggest it was a canny ploy by Reed to make the Project vulnerable to an insider disruptive drain.
There are many ways to exploit this potential reversal in narrative and mission constructs. I posit, as an example, that the Project majority, by a slim margin, votes to go ahead and aid in the rebellion. But what of the minority not in favor of this move and still very suspicious ? Will they just go along and not precipitate some chain of events in secret, some machination, to subvert this alliance intitiative with this Nexus splinter ?
I guess this sums-up the notion that presenting the Project as being pure as the driven snow is not as interesting, or realistic, as injecting an element of divisiveness and allowing for a splinter group's potential treachery at some point in the narrative unfolding and even in an associated mission sequence.
And between Lightworks, Blender, screen caps and other FOSS tools we have everything we need to make sequences.
Looking forward to getting things moving along again. My arm is mostly healed up now and I plan to get going in a big way this week.
