Was your identity (or the identity of any HH employee) compromised?: No.
Were you, or any fellow employee, injured in a way that required major dical care (bone fractures/lacerations/missing limbs/ etc)?: No.
Were there any fatalities (including civilian, hero, or otherwise)? If so, were they caused by an employee of Hellions Henchn?:
That last question was a tough one. Technically people did die during the job, but not because of the job. I knew of the one civilian at the hospital, and of course the exterminator.
Hmmm...
I suppose Id just note the civilian in the hospital, but not the exterminator. Abe technically died after the job was already done, which I think counts as being off the clock.
I jotted it down, and took another bite of my burger.
After disposing of the exterminator, I called Nicole to let her know that everything had gone fine. Abe hadnt mutated (truth), and I had handed him off to a dical professional at the hospital (lie). I kinda wanted to continue our search of the sewers for a bit, but Nicole insisted I stay long enough for the doctors to give a final verdict on Abes health. That resulted in heading to Maggies Sunrise Diner to get so tofu burgers to-go (it had been just a bit too long since the last ti I went there), while I texted fake updates about Abes health to Nicole. After a quick stop at my apartnt to pick up a spare after-action report (and drop off all the nifty souvenirs I got in the sewer), I then headed off back to the HH main base because I didnt have a pen to write with. Now I was sitting in the HH cafeteria eating my burgers, while filling in the report, and chatting with Nicole via text.
Normally, this would make happy (and I was), but there were other emotions cluttering my thought patterns as well, and I was trying to parse what caused each one.
Happy: because I was eating Tofu burgers.
Uneasy: because I was lying to Nicole. I didnt really like to lie. Depending on who you told them to (and who they told them to), lies could be all too easily discovered, and being caught in a lie could compromise my disguise.
Regret: the exterminator had been a valuable resource to Fortress city. Keeping hostile organic life controlled was a vital function, and even if he seed sowhat incompetant, his death was a waste of resources.
Guilt: this had been the first ti I needed to kill soone who wasnt directly threatening my life, and the need to do it was partly my fault because of my imperfect disguise. I didnt really lik-
