[X] Gift her freedom.
[X] Gift her tools.
The former is my preferred option, I'll remove the latter if it stops freedom from winning.
I have more reasoning/thought but expressing/writing here is hard and I lack time. Short summary below:
- Inspiration. No. Leave Our Precious Softy Alone Thanks.
- Influence. Ah yes the force multiplier option. No.
- Tools. Distribute free guns to suspected terrorists. Still very bad but less bad than other options. We already know ash ghouls are easy to acquire anyway and they'll do that without us.
- Nothing. This is just inspiration^2. NO.
- Freedom. Permanently costs an action. Big ouch. Less stuff we can do. Most options over the current disaster and fits narratively with violet's controlling tendencies. We should've curbed this earlier, now we're paying for it. We'll keep paying for it unless we do something.
Edit: Softy's cult isn't perfectly wolf aligned, they don't want it all to end yet. There's an opportunity for us for us to push here and redirect it to something healthier/more normal. It will be hard but worst case is similar to the likely tools outcome anyway.
Likely tools outcome being that haven given terrorists guns they do terrorist things and then us as commission has to step in, cult gets killed/arrested, innocent casualties, softy implicated, have to use nepotism to try and bail her out. With freedom's failure this could happen in a less directly bloody manner but we would also be implicated.
Edit 2: Based solely off my knowledge of canon cultist simulator, the moth book appears to be about either the Long/Port Noon or The Painted River/The Vagabond, possibly both. The immortal Long can drink from the spring in Port Noon and forgetting/being forgotten and retiring there to live out their eternity in idle pleasures. This stops them from climbing the mansus. They do this to escape the otherwise Hour enforced inevitable fate of conscription or death. There isn't a river explicitly mentioned here to my recollection, but there is the special spring and Port Noon is built by the sea so presumably a river connects the two? Perhaps The Vagabond is facilitating/patronising the writer's escape, perhaps the Painted River is connected to Port Noon somehow?
Edit 3: Damnit @Talon Tiger Dino I meant that tools is bad but that's still better than influence. As in the difference between an isolated terrorist attack and handing control of the entire town to said terrorists, to become a terrorist recruiting centre to then affect the rest of Equestria. Still agree that freedom is our best option.
