So the next Fay'lia propaganda announcement will involve them using their agent(s?) on board to find out the foibles and secrets of lots of the people on station.

They'll be taking one of two approaches to try to lure you over. Either they'll praise you by comparing you favorably to themselves or they'll condemn you and offer amnesty for your crimes if you work for them. The first approach is generally more useful with nobility or lawful alignment characters. The second works better with chaotic alignment characters or those involved with criminal organizations.

For instance, sample dialogue for the first approach, regarding Jinto and Lafiel: "Noble Abh, we know of your empire. It is much like ours. You seek a way of life where humans all know their place, as we do. Count Hyde, Viscountess Abriel, we would welcome you into the peerage as junior partners in this endeavor. Come to us, your true peers, rather than debasing yourselves by association with these primitive mud turtles."

And the second approach, regarding Sah'ot: "We know of your crimes too. Species miscegenation, sexual harrassment, aiding violators of the laws of the great institutes, stealing institute property, they are a long list. Come to us though and you can pay your debt by helping to enforce the law."

Reply here to sign up your characters for this announcement. Choose which approach the Fay'lia are taking with them and give us a few salient facts about them that the Fay'lia might use in that announcement. This will be ICly public so if there are secrets you don't want revealed, don't write them in your reply.

And if the attempted persuasion ends up working and your character wants to work as a Fay'lia agent, contact us mods!

Of course, Cain was, if nothing else, an assassin at least twice over. That he is also of a nice bloodline might sway them toward either direction, but it would probably be more amusing for them to accuse him of crimes and tell him he could gain penance for them. He'd probably giggle and ask what good penance does. If they threaten Mirys or Vicky, though, he might have to explain what the bodies are doing in his lab.

Horo? They can try anything, really. Horo's loyalty is to the Station only because she digs the gossip and because the Fay'lia have done some pretty shitty things to animals (see Cat Planet fiasco), but that's a shallow loyalty. Her ideal future would be arriving at her home with lawrence, and that is not happening. She is easily lured by delicious food and drink, though.

Fakir's still new, so. He's out.

Any threats made on Mirys would likely be brushed off by Mirys herself, as she's been threatened several times in her past and has generally come out fine (if not just a little crankier than before). The exact method of brushing-off that would occur would more than likely raise a few questions in Cain's mind and thus result in Mirys putting herself into a position where she needs to tell more about herself. Which she would do so privately.

Hey hey, my plot senses are tingling!
