Railroad's second victory - and ideological compromises
06 Sep 2017Daman
Shortly after our first victory, Railroad operatives managed to save a second war we were involved in. Concentration on our first target led to an overwhelming victory there, but almost cost us elsewhere.Note to self - make sure you keep your eyes open and spread resources wisely buddy.
Flying into the newly liberated station in my frag cannon armed vulture Django, i headed over to the liberated market.
And found Imperial slaves on the menu.
This is the kind of compromise we have to make. Backing the Freedom Party against the mafia was a no brainer, we replaced a pirate faction with a dictatorship.
At the end of the day - whatever my personal feelings about imperial slavery, and personally I think slavery is the wrong word here, it is an acceptable evil if it means that the pirates are removed and actual slavery shut down.
Victory here was hard fought. Mainly by a single operative, though I managed to contribute with Django knocking out a couple of mafia condas at least. It wasn't decisive, the system is not uncontested. It wasn't fully satisfying, as we backed a dictatorship into power, but those freed slaves couldn't care less about the politics.
So neither will we for today.
These are the difficult decisions we have to make, and live with their consequences.
