I have a tricky situation IŽd like some input on.
I would like you to put yourself in the shoes of Trixibelle, an NPC in my campaign.
Trixiebelle is an athlete, and a world class top 10 tier athlete in her sport.
She comes from a difficult background, raised on a failed colony in the ass end of the galaxy, but through much grit and fortitude she managed to haul herself out of it and lives the good life.
During (contextually) "the Olympics", she discovers her older sister (a player character) is also competing, under a false name.
Trixiebelle has not seen her sister for over 20 years. Her sister was taken away to prison as a war criminal.
When Trixiebelle confronts her sister, the sister insinuates she is there for a "job", and tells Trixiebelle NOT to win. Implying something will happen to the winner.
What does Trixiebelle do?
Does she keep silent?
Does she report it?
What would she do?
What would YOU do?
A few more things for context:
The planet they are on is ruled by an Admiralty military dictatorship. Getting caught for a crime means hard punishment, and you can forget due process.
They are both foreigners in this land, and they hold no ties to it. Neither of them live on the planet, not even the same sector.
The sport is very important to Trixiebelle. SheŽs a 15 year veteran of the sport.
She has no family of her own, but they have other siblings, cousins and nephews.
If you have other context questions, shoot :)
