Chapter 1: Dust and Oaths · Votes started
The sun is falling on Red Mesa. How does Sheriff Jake Morgan meet last light?
Before nightfall, Jake rides to find Hector Vanes - the retired gunslinger whom the Holloway crew genuinely fears. But Hector walked away from violence for a reason, and he may not come back.
Rosa knows where the gang is making camp and what Bart really wants. A quiet conversation over whiskey and the right promise might divide the gang before the first shot is fired.
Jake's scout has identified a choke point at Redrock Canyon where the gang must ride single-file. Setting an ambush there - with terrain advantage and darkness - might end this without a main-street confrontation.

What should happen next?
Broadcast a structured reply using Yui's xenolinguistic framework, revealing the colony's presence but potentially initiating dialogue with whatever sent the signal.
Seal all domes, cut external transmissions, and dedicate Finn's full engineering team to purging the signal from colony systems before it reaches critical infrastructure.
Launch an unmanned reconnaissance probe to triangulate the signal's origin point - gather data without exposing the colony to direct interaction.

What should happen next?
Juliet takes a breath, sets the book on the table between them, and invites the stranger for café au lait across the street - direct, warm, and a little terrifying.
She writes her name and number on a receipt tucked into the back cover of the book, leaves it on the shelf, and slips into the Paris rain - letting fate take it from there.
She smiles, sets the book down, and leaves - trusting that if this is a real story, the city of Paris has other plans for the two of them.

What should happen next?
Eleanor ignores Thomas's warning and pushes through the sealed door, stepping into rooms untouched since the night Lady Ashford died. The temperature drops eight degrees the moment she crosses the threshold.
Question Thomas about why every clock stopped at 3:17, pressing until he reveals what he saw the night of the incident - a confession that changes everything about what really happened.
Eleanor sets up her instruments in the drawing room and attempts direct communication with the presence inside Blackthorn Manor - inviting contact on its own terms.

What should happen next?
Track the cousin's movements for the next twenty-four hours. Her alibi is paper-thin and her inheritance motive is the oldest story in the book.
The penthouse safe was accessed at 11:47 p.m. - sixteen minutes before Isabella vanished. Whatever was inside isn't there anymore. Identifying what was taken changes the entire shape of the case.
Pierre's statement is too clean. Pressing him - carefully, in private, with the right kind of pressure - might surface the one detail that changes everything.
