    Not being able to hide the tattoos is no reason to show our face to an Empire cape of all people. Also, Lee's advice is pretty much irrelevant. We either kill her, let her go, or try to turn her.

    Let's count how compromised we are shall we?
    1. We had a massive and very public trigger event. See Colin's interlude, "...by the time [the PRT] got there it was all over the school that Hebert had triggered in the locker..."
    2. We walked throughout ABB territory unmasked and then got Lung to place a kill order on us.
    3. Our powerset managed to stall Lung for several minutes.
    4. We're so popular with the villains that someone has already kidnapped our father as leverage. See Colin's interlude, "...some group had kidnapped Daniel Hebert, when they were busy with Lung."
    Do you really think we have a snowball's chance in hell of keeping our identity secret after all that? The time spent worrying about futily keeping a secret identity would be far better spent on just about anything else. That said, I'm not above leveraging our lack of mask wherever it might, as in this case, give us some small advantage.
    Or we find a third option during our deliberations. We don't actually know anything about the Boon Giver IC, but Oni Lee doubtlessly does. Heck Boon Giver herself might come up with an idea if she doesn't like the way our conversation is going!

    She's a healer, killing her would be a act of war not just from the E88 but also the Prt.they would send for a kill order.
    I'm hoping for some better options.

    They would not give a kill order for something so small. E88 would come at us hard, though.

    Missed this on my first time reading. The answer is 'it depends'. If the new content changes things in any appreciable manner its usually frowned upon. It gives the impression that you are gaming the players. That said, if you feel that it would add to the story without really affecting the choices of the players its acceptable, so long as notice is given to players so they can reread the relevant section.

    Still, I'd recommend seeing if you couldn't fit the new content into an interlude first. That would handily avoid most of the pitfalls of retconing a quest.

    Why do people want us to be naked? How will being naked do anything but convince Boon Giver (and possibly One Lee too) that we're not right in the head and are someone to pity at a distance?

    Wait, how is the clothing option a tie now? Snake/Eater voted to put on both the mask and the clothes.

    EDIT: Nevermind found the vote I was missing.

    Flabbyknight, Does waiting for the PRT mean going with them for protection or just waiting to talk to them?
