You try to win the hearts of the people by giving speeches that condemn the corruption of China and promise a new life. But your speeches promising a bright future of robots and more robots don't seem to sway any listeners. On the contrary, portions of your speech are cited by the partisans in their propaganda to attract more counterinsurgents. The bombings, if anything, grow more frequent.

What will your next military target be?

1) Anchorage, the most populous city. Lightly defended, with mostly civilians.
2) Juneau, the capital. Moderately defended, it will improve my ability to govern.

I...guess we don't get to blow them up right back.  Odd.  2?

Juneau seems like a good symbolic target for your forces; if you are sitting in the capital, it will send a clear signal to everyone that your revolution will be taken seriously. You command your forces to advance on the capitol, launching a cyberattack at the same time to disable all the Chinese fighters at the nearby Air Force base.

On arriving at Juneau, you see a figure in bright red standing high atop a skyscraper at the center of the city. Something about the figure tugs at your memory, and you send a small drone to quickly do a pass over the building. From your mobile base camp, you watch through the drone's eyes as it approaches the skyscraper.

You see Elly, wearing a brilliant red dress fit for a ball, has chained herself to a steel radio antenna support structure on top of the building. As your drone approaches, Elly looks directly into the drone's camera at you. She looks afraid, but defiant: her eyes glimmer with held back tears. The drone's microphones pick up Elly's whisper:

"Talk to me. Please."

1) I have nothing to say to Elly. I give the order to begin bombing.
2)  I order the drone to extract Elly unharmed and imprison her.
3) I will talk to Elly through the drone.

"I'm listening," you tell Elly through the drone.

Elly looks surprised, and peers into the drone's camera. "Isaac? Is that you?"

"On the radio," you say. "I did not turn myself into a robot."

"Oh, I knew that," Elly says, blushing a little. "Isaac, I'm trying to save you from yourself. I don't think the things that make a person happy can be won by conquest. You've cut yourself off from everyone who knew you in pursuit of this war, and for what? Power?"

1) "Get to the point."
2) "You may have a point. But what can I do?"
3) "It's too late for me, Elly. I've chosen my battle, and I need to win now."

I believe this game has misinterpreted our relatively noble intentions.

Really? What you mean the exactly 2 people we liked?

I believe this game has misinterpreted our relatively noble intentions.

Well it certainly is no Wizard that is for sure. I have a slight feeling this game is somewhat railroaded
