 Hideaway: Deciding the Future of Hideaway ≥ 160 [The dwellers cannot ignore the truth]
|
The dwellers of Hideaway have come together around the Investigator. Some are shocked enough to have broken into speech - but all fall silent when he raises his hands. "You know the truth. The city is cracking apart. If you want to survive, you must leave. And knowing what you endured down here because you wanted to live - I've no doubt what you'll do next. I don't know where we can go." The Investigator tries to smile. "I don't have answers, only questions. I'm sorry." The people leave in tears. Only the Sprightly Visionary stands tearless, trembling with rage.
By morning, there's not an emergency bathysphere or zubmarine left in the city. Hideaway is empty; Temtum, alone.  Hideaway: The Truth = 150 [The truth is that Hideaway is doomed. The people have fled the city]

Hideaway: Deciding the Future of Hideaway ≤ 150 [The dwellers are beginning to accept the truth]
|
The dwellers of Hideaway have come together around the Visionary. Some are shocked enough to have broken into speech - but all fall silent when he raises his hands. He performs the wide-armed, toe-twirl sign for Hideaway, followed by the clawed hands and sidesteps for Temtum. He describes togetherness - of Temtum and Hideaway, but also of Hideaway and its people. When the Visionary rallies the people to return to work, to maintain their home - the one place they love, that loves them - they leave, subdued. Only the Investigator remains, pale-faced.
