Subset Games Forum

As I'm sure we all understand by now, this game forces you to make many hard choices, both inside and outside of battle.

Recently, I too a job to transport the wife of the Grand Basilisk back home. When I got there, she said she didn't want to go back! I have an option to hand her over, or send her back, and I'm really not sure what to do. Normally I would just take my chances, but I have a feeling that this might really pay off, and I don't want to screw it up since this run has been pretty kind to me so far, and in a few dozen playthroughs this has never happened to me.

Any advice?

If you hand her over, you get a standard "High" reward - probably some scrap, a small sum of fuel/missiles/drone parts, and maybe an item. So sure, it could be something like a glaive beam or a high-powered aug. But it could just be a Burst Laser III or something.

If you refuse to hand her over, she joins you crew - a Rock with the unique name of Ariadne. She's completely unskilled, but then, so is every other crewman who joins your crew.


My advice? If you have less than 8 crew, refuse to hand her over and take her with you. Even if you have eight crew, if you have one you like less than a greenhorn rockman, take Ariadne and dismiss them for her. If you're happy with your crew, take her with you anyway and dismiss her, because it's kind of repugnant, handing a distressed damsel (even one made of granite) over to an arranged marriage.

You also get to fight a ship and loot it, after which you get a "medium" reward and the ship's scrap, so...


It's up to you.

Alright man, thanks for the help. Hopefully there will be a list of events in the wiki or somewhere soon.
