I believe since you and me both might know who McBrains is, Warlock, that we can probably agree that we can trust the slot would genuinely choose to help as a form of bargaining for cooperation. At least if my reading of previous games and this one has helped me piece together the puzzle properly.
It is why I am not quite pushing as strongly as I was before. Of course there are worlds where McBrains is just lying and is some other form of evil, but I do not see a reason to not give a chance to leash a neut and use them to our advantage for a cop and class type check on myself.
I do recognise this is ironic coming from me when I had originally been voting for the slot and butting heads against them. However, I am going to be biased when I know that people might not trust me fully at this time due to how I have played considering my inexperience and I just want to be somewhat backed up.
