      Shrike is corrent in interpreting that if Vespiir had arrived insane her warning would not have been effective.

      He's also right that the Hood wanted the warning given; but the cowled crime czar has always been a tough bargainer.

    Well, in that case you can likely disregard what I was saying on the matter. "Tell your friends what I want them to hear or I'll let the entire universe be doomed" isn't really a choice, and therefore isn't really a betrayal. Still sucks for Vespiir no doubt, but nobody even vaguely reasonable could hold it against her. "Death before dishonor" is extreme enough, nobody should be for "Universal annihilation before dishonor".


I think you're overestimating the decision-making process. Vespiir was exposed to elder-things that drove her mad. The Hood retconned it so she wasn't, and maintains it so long as she keeps her end of the bargain.

Vespiir has delivered her message now, so theoretically she could have disobeyed the Hood re CSFB!'s prediction without consequences to anyone but her; she's just too scared of what would happen.
