Steal the Fixadine or Trade the Fixadine?

I've joined up with the Resistance ever since the first mission, now I have come to a point where I have helped Jack Hammer become in control of Fixadine. Now I have to make a Moral choice to steal the Fixadine for the Ressistance or trade the Fixadine to the Loylists. I am unsure of what to do. Jack Hammer is giving me the impression that he is gonna do bad with the Fixadine and use it in ways that are not exactly good. But I don't know if giving it to the loyalists will cause me to have to fight Jack and destroy my place with the Ressistance. What should I do?

All "moral choices" in Praetoria are really "pick a side". If you want to continue working with the Resistance, give the Fixadine to Jack. If you want to become a Loyalist, turn it in to the authorities.

Even if you become a Loyalist, you can still run the Resistance Warden arcs, and sometimes in the Loyalist arcs you get the option to call Calvin Scott and act as "double agent".

Exactly the point of the arc. The Praetoria arcs are almost entirely designed to push you into morally gray areas.

If you stab the kitten, you'll save the puppy. But you still stabbed the kitten.

I'm not sure that's the best analogy. I don't see any shades of grey there, saving the puppy is an all-round win-win situation.

;p

Yeah, that's the one Moral Choice mission where I feel like it's a false dichotomy. There's no option to destroy the stuff. I mean, sure, it's really, really valuable, but if you destroyed all the sources of crush in Nova, pulled the Resistance back into the hub, and let the Destroyers go into withdrawal, they'd cause more chaos trying anything to get another dose than the Crusaders could ever hope, all at no risk to the Resistance, and no bad PR, since it's the Destroyers doing the rampaging. Makes the PPD and the Praetors look weak and ineffective, then up jumps the Resistance, showing the people that they traded away their freedoms for the illusion of safety.

Sure, it'd be completely infeasible to code this, but I can dream, can't I?
