Well Moon, since you didn't wait and moved past my chance for a decent post, I'm going to forgo this round in favor of granting Missing my consent for handling my character in mind for what's next. (Assuming it doesn't equal us all dying.)
So...what happens if it
does equal you all dying? :I
I mentioned in a previous message that, even if you do tell me that the explosion is not going to be big, there are problems with me changing what Tweak does to match that assurance.
First, Metagaming. I can't change the general aim of Tweak's actions, only the details. Tweak wants to get far enough away from the grenades to insure that she and her teammates survive. She doesn't know the radius of seven grenades and she only has previous experience to tell her how long their timers are. You can tell me that there is time for a different escape, but she doesn't know this. So she gives herself what she thinks is the least amount of time the grenades previously thrown had before exploding and takes the fastest route away.
Second is her nature. She cannot kill Bell, you have made this clear both OOC and IC, so at this point Tweak is trying to retreat and keep her party alive at the same time. So she tries to distract or disable Bell long enough for her to get away and take her team with her, that is her goal.
The last escape option I can think of is to get on top of the room, but I don't know if there's a roof there or if the ceiling of the room is the floor of a level above it. Even if there is a roof for her to go to, though, Bell is too much of a threat. Tweak would be nervous that the captain would follow. At least dropping into the pit affords a good amount of distance between them.
You know from my drafts that she already has a way to stop their fall. Now you have me curious, why and how is this going to kill Tweak and Claire?
To everyone else: I'm open to suggestions of any other way out of this situation. DN and I spoke earlier and she agreed that this was a fair course of action...it's over the top and I'm guessing way out of Moon's plans, but I don't really see another alternative. Oh, as a bonus, removing everyone from the server room could relieve any accusations <_< Temporarily, anyway. It may be likely that Moon has cameras, guns, and soldiers waiting on the way down into the sinkhole.
