Cloudsea - The Chronicle of Alice Van Vaugen

Well, it isn't as if I didn't foresee that outcome. I figured there was a chance the vote would split. I just figured it would force Alice to make a decision. I guess she isn't there yet. I, personally, still think that accruing resources to fight is better, but I'm the overly cautious sort. So... I'm gonna go against my own thoughts on the off chance it resonates with someone. We run and skirt around the fringe regions of the Imperial Sphere trying to acquire what information we can. Information such as strange sightings and towns disappearing. Then... charge headlong in to them. Maybe, instead of running or waiting, take the fight to them... which I suppose was always my underlying goal. I mean, the only option I see besides fighting is giving it what it wants... and what it wants seems to be Alice, dead. Unless there is a way to so thoroughly convince it that Alice is dead and her body destroyed without actually killing her, fighting feels like the only option. There may be Muse for that... but we've not met them.
