EVENT 007 VOTING POST
Hello, Larkers! This is your voting post for the event. This post revolves around two points:
1. Whether the attempt to retrieve Judas will be a success.
2. Where Judas will end up after the fact.
For an idea of the consequences, Judas is a military AI that has been on a local, off-network quantum server in the UNA HQ for hundreds of years. He's had no outside interaction, and he seems to be fueling a lot of their technology (including the program ALIGN that turns the UNA soldiers into mindmelding individuals with a specialized formation instinct). Taking him away would gut the military arm of the world. However, giving him to Cassius would be potentially handing him over to an AI who's proven that he'll take countless lives. In addition, there is no way of knowing if giving Judas over to El will revolve reneging on the deal with Cassius—and there's no real way of knowing for sure that El, whose actions started the AI-Human War, has friendly intentions in taking Judas back. With all that in mind, Judas was instrumental in nearly ending humanity during that war, while El has spent that time pulling together resources to create Morningstar: the only successful anti-capitalism, anti-UN rebel group for the past 450 years.
A few notes to keep in mind:
◉ The overall preference for how the event ends will be based on what you want to see OOCly, rather than what your characters would like ICly. For example: Gaby would like to see the device holding Judas destroyed immediately, removing him from the world. But OOCly, Gaby's player would like to see what chaos could ensue from giving Judas over to Cassius.
◉ There is only one vote per player!
◉ We'd like a brief summary of what your character is doing during this event. New characters are welcome to take part! Please do, in fact! If your character is just visiting the base and stealing food, that's still of note. This will help us figure out where characters' priorities were during the event. For instance, in our UNA event last January, we were able to use the plotting comments and IC prioritization to figure out which aspects of the event would be ultimately successful. The plotting is looser around this event, so we'd like to essentially get those short summaries delivered to us so we can write a summary.
◉ Please feel free to have your character throw a wild card into the mix that might be harder to RP out, but will have some amazing consequences. We can't promise that it will be visible in the aftermath—that ultimately depends on the vote itself!—but we think it would be fun to toss it in if you have any ideas.
◉ This voting post will close on November 25th at 23:59 PM UTC. Please feel free to make edits leading up to the date itself!
Now, a form!

no subject
Do you want to know the results right away or once the aftermath post is up? aftermath please
Preference 1.A: yes, please succeed
Preference 1.B: n/a
Preference Two: give judas to cassius
Character: kara danvers
Journal:
Did they take a deal with Cassius?: no, cassius is being a butthead
Will they renege on their deal with Cassius? n/a
Summary of Actions in or around UNA base: she's not going
Character: caroline forbes
Journal:
Did they take a deal with Cassius?: yes
Will they renege on their deal with Cassius? no
Summary of Actions in or around UNA base: she will mostly be helping other people do things -- helping hope not get murdered after she gets beserkered by akechi, helping gen not die after getting injured, zooming people around surprise una soldiers so they don't instigate more fights. i don't think she will actually make it to judas, but not for lack of trying.
Character: daisy johnson
Journal:
Did they take a deal with Cassius?: yes
Will they renege on their deal with Cassius? no.
Summary of Actions in or around UNA base: beating up soldiers and shocking them unconscious, not killing anyone, attempting to hack into the encrypted drive before getting annoyed and electrocuting the damn thing to force her way inside, arguing with people a whole lot. i'm not sure who has possession of cassius' drive but daisy would absolutely protect them if needed to ensure they were successful. she's the most driven of my characters to Get Shit Done and has the most on the line. in all honesty, daisy would probably electrocute another displaced if it meant accomplishing the mission. sorry not sorry.
