Civilians Protesting on Moon

Occurs in:

1. Multiverse Drop Point

## Event

Ship: none.

*Several Civilian vessels have landed on a nearby moon around a Federation Multiverse warp-bay. You can see crowds gathering but you aren't sure why.*

1. Investigate.
	* *The Civilians appear to be protesting, gathering in large groups and holding up signs. It appears the crowd is against the use of Multiverse travel, thinking it endangers their ways of life. The Federation soldiers hold their ground and try to fend off the civilians, but it appears the situation is getting heated.*
		1. Attack one of the civilian vessels.
			+ *You open fire on one of the civilian vessels nearby.*
				- Fight an unarmed civilian ship.
					* (**After killing enemy crew**) *You've erased all life from the Civilian vessel, and their scrap is yours.*
						+ You gain a **low** standard reward and witness the aftermath.
					* (**After destroying enemy ship**) *You've demolished the Civilian vessel, and their scrap is yours.*
						+ You gain a **low** standard reward and witness the aftermath.
		2. Send in a team of crew to assist.
			+ You send your crew in.
		3. Fly away.
			+ *You pull away from the moon before you're spotted.*
				1. Do something onboard the ship.
				2. Do nothing.
2. Ignore the crowds.
	* *You have no interest in whatever is happening on the moon*.
		1. Do something onboard the ship.
		2. Do nothing.

## The Civilian ship is defeated

*The rest of the civilians, having seen your brutal attack, flee in fear. This won't help improve the public view of the Multiverse Travellers, but at least the Federation soldiers were saved.*

* Nothing happens.

*It appears your attack drove many of the Civilians to violence, and full-scale fighting has broken out in the streets. One civilian ship with a particularly nasty looking missile launcher tears through your hull, and you pull away quickly.*

* Your ship takes 3 hull damage.

*The civilians are forced to flee as the Federation soldiers take this opportunity to retake the block and drive back the protesters. The whole situation goes over with few casualties, save for the civilians you just murdered. The Federation staff is thankful for your assistance, though disapproving of your methods, and offer some supplies.*

* You gain a **medium** stuff reward.

## You send your crew in

*You land the vessel right in the middle of the conflict, careful not to squish anyone. Your crew exit and talk over the situation with the protesters. They manage to convince them not to resort to violence, the crowds slowly dwindle away.*

* Nothing happens.

*The situation is too chaotic for you to land the ship nearby, so you pilot a short distance away from the main scene of conflict and drop off your crew. They're dragged into what has now descended into full on gun fire, and one of your crew is tagged straight in the chest with blaster fire! You give orders for the rest of the team to head back to the ship immediately.*

* You lose a random crewmember.
	+ **(If Clonebay is present)** Fortunately your clonebay is able to revive your crew member, but you aren't willing to risk sending them back in.
		- *Your dead crewman is replaced in the clone bay with some skill loss.*

*By the time your crew arrive the situation has already escalated. They manage to rescue one of the Federation staff, a medical unit who was caught in the cross-fire, and bring them back to the ship. Unfortunately, it seems a few of the protesters noticed and have followed you back to the ship!*

* You gain a Medic and are boarded by 2-3 enemy crew of random races.
