Success

Persuade them you're on their side

You wave and signal to the pilot. He waves and signals back. A moment later, the craft turns in the sky and returns to its mooring tower at Station VIII. It carries an account of the defences of Hinterlandcity.png [City Name] that is almost entirely false.


Failure

You wave and signal to the pilot. [...] None of the other citizens know what you said [...]. Consequently, they assume the worst: that you were communicating, in some private Masterish code, all the city's [...] vulnerabilities. But you wouldn't do that. Would you?
