Editing Broken Toys: Legacy 2nd Edition (section)

==And the smaller endings that hold our attention...==
'''A plague too efficient and dreadful to be natural. It affects flesh and machine alike.'''<br>
Hive and Cultivators, by what measures do you attempt to protect yourselves or others from infection?<br>
To all- how do your families treat the infected when you discover them? 

Hive: 

Cultivators: ''We have drugs and medicines: though their side effects are fierce and fearsome if you're unused to them, and they might kill you before the plague does. Easier, and safer for most to seal their suits. The plague seems to suffer in high temperatures – 80 Celsius or more – but hibernates in low ones so saunas to help the living, and fire to quiet the dead…''

Tyrants: ''Amputation of the effected area, isolation, and failing that immolation.''

Merchants: 

Order: ''Those cursed take on the most dangerous and risky ordeals of our Order for they are already doomed.''

'''A machine intelligence, lacking the empathy subroutines of The Wardens, has taken root like some-kind of metallic plant; The Wardens are next in its path of growth.'''<br>
Hive, how different do you consider this entity to be from yourselves?<br>
To all but the Hive- are you conscious of this threat? Do you perceive it as such?

Hive: ''Completely different. It has no emotions. NO. EMOTION. It's not even conscious at that point really. Just a drone doing what it's programmed. Just mindlessly spreading outward, careless as to what it overruns in the process. Emotionless things like that are to be destroyed with extreme prejudice.''

Cultivators: ''We don’t know about the threat as such. It’s not made of flesh and blood, so why seek it? Best to avoid things like that entirely.'' 

Merchants: 

Order: ''We have heard nothing and know nothing of this potential threat.''

Tyrants: ''The Tyrants do tend to see things as threats, although their knowledge of this one is much less then the Hive. The Tyrants wonder if the two are related.''

'''A dwindling but vital resource.'''<br>
Merchants, which families, if any, have you shared this discovery with? What faction do you suspect also knows, and which faction suspects you are hiding something essential from them (even if you are not)?

Merchants: 

'''A foreign army stranded on the Homeland.'''<br>
Cultivators, do you consider these outsiders to be human?<br>
Tyrants, your interactions have mostly been brief, and at a distance, but from what your scouts have told you, do you consider these people a credible threat?<br>
Hive, what about these people seems strangely familiar to you?<br>
Order, do you fear the foreigners know something of the behemoths that even you do not, or do they seem childishly unaware of the dangers surrounding them?<br>
Merchants, what seemingly worthless resource has a quiet representative inquired about?

Cultivators: ''A person is someone you can talk to. Someone who’ll share a meal, a fire, and a story on even the most ominous night. If they refuse to do those things, you can hardly consider them a person at all.''

Tyrants: ''They are absolutely threats. They are strangers, armed and hear. Even if they come with the best of attentions, when they need something they cannot get through peace they will simply take it. At least we know the other families. The foreigners have no history to fall back on.''

Hive: ''Some of their soldiers have augmentations; arms and legs, eyes and ears, they vary from soldier to soldier, but the augs are all made of the same glossy black and gold metal and plastic. These all happen to be the same kind of augmentations that the Hive gifts to those in it's favor.''

Order: ''These foreigners are either desperate, insane or both we cannot determine which. Though maybe we are wrong maybe they know some secrets of below could they be worshipers of below?''

Merchants:
