/// Excellent ! Brillant idea, nicely sadistic ! And some say GMs are twisted minds - I wonder where this notion came from ?

grab what I think was THE most dangerous item in the complex. /// Do be honest, level with us : did you in any way point them towards said object ? Or practise any other subtle manipulation so they'd pick THAT one ?

/// A Great Moment indeed. Seriously, the more I play with HQ and its very light rules, the more I realize the players I writing their own story. About half or more of what I write never gets a chance to be used, which is fine since I can recycle it later when they run short of ideas !
