PROMPT 1: LOCATE THE SUPERWEAPON.

This is the Supreme Chancellor's primary concern. All of the Taldryan Republic's efforts on Saijo mean nothing if the Superweapon becomes active. You are tasked with locating it by whatever means necessary, disintegrations completely authorised. How you choose to complete this task is up to you.

PROMPT 2: AIDING SAIJO

You believe that finding the Saijo Superweapon doesn't mean a damn thing if there's no-one on Saijo left to protect. You therefore are tasked with defending the Saijo population from the Pirate attack. The Island Cities require your aid. How you choose to help, is up to you.

PROMPT 3: A PIRATES LIFE FOR ME!

Screw what Appius thinks! You don't care about Saijo, or the superweapon. You only care about advancing whatever position you are in, or gaining power, or maybe just having a laugh? There are rumors of treasure hidden amongst the Saijo islands. You are tasked with retrieving it. How you get to it, and what that treasure is, is entirely up to you.
