Perhaps, but it's also possible that she was deceiving us from the very start. She hasn't actually neutralized us and is rattling off her plan, so that's a good sign.

Problem is, the only reason she's monologuing is because we used Conquerer's Aura on her.

She could have instantly killed us, but she has chosen not to. Perhaps she will be amenable to some form of negotiation.

Isn’t there a reward on our head?

Again, Conquerer's Aura. We're clouding her judgement. I'm not sure how much we can infer from her behavior until we stop our [Jedi mind-tricks.]

Of course, while that's running, she's definitely amenable to negotiation. We'd have a bigger problem if she realizes we mind-manipulated her into a deal though. She'd probably be livid.

I don't think so. The roll was 21 vs. 4 to grab our heart, and there were no rolls immediately after it to apply the aura.

Huh.

You've succeeded-- she's monologuing.

I was going off this - the result of me suggesting CA'ing her to get her to spill information.

Yeah, but that's in the middle of the post after she already said a bunch of stuff, that looks like it was the 20 vs. 14 roll.

regardless of why she’s monologuing, we need to negotiate with her now, probably by finding out why she was sent for us, unless we already know the answer from SEED, namely hundreds of thousands of credits for our capture/death, in which case I’m not sure negotiation is possible if she already wants us dead

Even if we can't change her loyalties, we should at least keep her alive so that we can extract as much information from her as possible.

"[She was never real. Your profile suggested personal freedoms were important to you. What better than a debt-slave?]" Iyal shrugs, ["And an Outlander, to explain all the oddness...and what tool does a nascent political figure have the most use for?]"

[20 vs 1] "[I will keep you aliv--]" Iyal starts, and you shift. Awareness flickers across Iyal's face. She squeezes your heart tight for a few painful micro-seconds, and you can feel it creaking, about to burst-- the wall explodes into the room, and las-fire sprays all around you. You twist, sending her into the las-fire. A shot catches her shoulder, breaking her concentration.

[12][18 vs 15][hl:20!]You heal rapidly, gasping in pain as the tentacle is forced out of your body --   and you're already lunging -- wrapping a grip of fire around her throat, and she struggles, carbon forming around her neck to protect her. You tighten your grasp, and her hands begin to work, her willpower surging--

[18 vs 12] You snap her neck, blackening her skin through the carbon structure and her squirming ceases, her eyes fixed on yours.

"[My intel was incomplete.]" She admits when her lungs start working again. "[Do you really wish to fight here? We would rip apart this structure.]"

["Oh, I'm sorry. Is this building not nice enough for you? Perhaps I should snap your neck again to teach you some humility."]

We should take her somewhere open. We should not destroy buildings if we can help it, however if we relent she will attack

You don't speak, simply snapping her neck again. Her breath catches, and she stares at you with a dark look.

"[That was rather immature of you.]" She offers after a few moments of blessed peace. "[If you insist on this...you might want to clear your pets out of the room.]"

["And I should inform you - carbon burns better than almost anything. Those who order you have woefully incomplete intel if they sent you up against a being of fire."]
