Congratulations Flame Kitten! And a fairly recent arc too. I'll definitely have to give this a go. Nothing beats a little eco-terrorism.
Edit: Played it, loved it. It has a LOT of story, but it's done very smoothly without messing up the game-play. Nice work. There was no dilemma for me at the end, just incompetence, with lack of caution determining the outcome for me. I had to go back and check my clues again after I screwed up, to find out if I was even close to the outcome I was looking for. Oh dear.

Congratulations! I'll try this out soon.
I can honestly say I never saw this coming, but it certainly made my day. Heck, it made my whole year!
Thank you so much for the congratulations; I really appreciate the thought! Well, what else can I say, except that I hope anyone who gives it a try really enjoys it!
Oh, heh. I know what I can say!
Long live Dr. Aeon! And Death To Television!

Great choice for a Devs' Choice. The moral dilemma at the end is a doozy.

Made me laugh out loud - because I've done exactly what I think you're talking about; on one of my playtests, or at least pretty close. While I *did* know that I was supposed to escort her back to the entrance really quick (It sounds like you missed the clue to do that), I deliberately had her tag along to see just how easy it was to get her defeated and get the alternate ending, without even really trying.|

So I just had her accompany me and fight normally. Since I had the difficulty ramped up, she made it to about the second spawn. Shortly thereafter I was back in the AE room getting the 'alternate' debriefing from Jenny.
She's definitely not terribly hardy, that's for sure.

By the way, for anyone who's interested, since in real life I'm a professional astronomer, there are two (related) astronomy references hidden in the arc. One (IMO) is only moderately hard to find (and probably pretty easy if you've taken an astro class recently, or are just interested in astronomy in general), the other is very subtle.
If you're interested, and you think you know what they are, feel free to send me a PM and I'll tell you if you're right or not (and, if you want, I'll even tell you exactly what they are).

I'll say it here and now - I really don't like the Devouring Earth. Maybe it's because they're completely unnatural. Or maybe it's because of the time I had to recover a sample of Hamidon from within the Abyss. Who knows? Regardless, they're a blight upon the world and deserve to be stomped out.
This is exactly something you can do within Flame Kitten's arc, Purification, which takes place after the Unity Plague arc that many have played on hero side. The Devouring Earth are at it again, but this time Crey comes into the equation, unknowingly giving them a boost in their plans to destroy the entire human race. Time is ticking when you're playing this arc as the fate of the world rests in the hands of your hero, leaving you with a difficult and dangerous choice to face at the end!
This is a terrific arc to play and you may even find yourself playing it twice just to see the alternate ending! I'm happy to give the arc this week's Dev Choice. Congratulations Flame Kitten! Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go fix up my hair with a giant can of hair spray.
