MODERATORS
Humans in the setting are annoying and uppity, so I sided with the council, I mean if you consider their perspective the humans come across like Qanon fanatics screaming about evil space demons and literal visions of doom, if I was the council I would've revoked their embassy and sanctioned earth for the good of the galaxy
Of course like the rest of the game it isn't much of a choice; do you want to save the alien space neolibs or install human space neolibs who are more openly racist?
And then people wondered why their choices at the end didn't matter.
The series is unintentionally a great commentary on Western imperial 'democracy' being one choice masquerading as many.
