Message: <blockquote data-quote="Victim" data-source="post: 3903349" data-attributes="member: 78">Yes, the impact of Transmute on our overall resources isn't really significant.  However, the Trust hasn't exactly offered our characters a salary at this point, IIRC.  And, to Shooting Star at least, asking for a handout of some value (ie, money) would feel different from asking a quick favor that ends up producing value.I can't remember if Hera was ever unfaithful in the myths; you'd think that if Zeus's actions in those stories didn't provide sufficient justification then they never would.  As a goddess of marriage, hearth and home, her nature might be sufficiently set that changing to better fit current times is basically impossible.Changing from a alien to a normal guy who found an alien artifact is a pretty big shift in concept, I think.  If the alien civ destroying his home was jamming communications, then it seems reasonable that he'd have an incomplete picture of events.  If part of the final message was garbled or blocked, then maybe he only gets the "you're on your own now, have fun on whatever planet you were last stationed at and try to uphold our values" part and the not "this is our final message, the evillians launched a surprise attack and are  bombarding our cities.  We can't hold out long."  But really, with a name like evilians, they should have seen it coming.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
