Prime Mech held fast by an alien on a crumbling ledge.
He couldn't move - damn alien webbing.
If he didn't move, the ledge would plummet both ally and enemy into the abyss.
Too valuable a pilot to lose.
"Just push the alien aside!"
But there are 2 buildings in the way. Full of people. Cheering people, hailing you as their salvation...
Only after sweating over every other possibility did the awful solution occur to me:
I had to destroy those populated buildings.
The civilians screamed and the clingy monster fell into the gorge. My Mech pilot went free and went on to win the war, saving billions of lives.
Yet I couldn't shake the weight of those 200 martyred victims.
Because Breach's clear, nigh-perfect information still isn't enough to compensate for your human imperfection. The agony of decision and the cascade of results makes every turn more dire than the last.
But you learn...
...and you always come back.
