Okay, anti-atrocity morale knights from CDC and ACE, I have a question for you all.
Suppose our peaceloving faction is involved in a war started by those capitalist pigs of Morganites or those wretched unbelievers of Universitarians. Naturally they only agree to a peace treaty if we give them an impossible amount of money of 1600 credits. Note: there are 1603 credits on the government's energy bank account. Therefore it was decided that military action against the enemy was needed. We just captured a large enemy base, population size 13. Unfortunately our careless soldiers destroyed every anti-drone structure in the base in their understandable after-victory night party. The next morning we discover that the base will riot if we don't act. No less than 9 drones!! Too many to be countered by police units or rushing all kinds of anti-drone structures. The most obvious choice would be to recruit doctors/empaths to counter the drones. To do that however we need to take workers from the field. As a consequence there will be food starvation (a shortage of 10 food). Dear idealist CDC'er/ACEr, what would you do if you were Commissioner of the Peacekeeping Forces:
a) Give the enemy 1600 credits for peace. As a consequence of course our economy will be ruined and then our own one million PK citizens are defenseless against the belligerent Spartans at the other side of our little empire.
b) Recruit empaths. As a consequence of course 50000 people will die.
c) Initiate martial law and build a punishment sphere. As a consequence of course your "high ideals who I will always upkeep" will be damaged.
I'm looking forward to your answer.
