:: KeepRunning <<set $security += 10>> <<set $trust -= 5>> You let EYE continue monitoring. Safety goes up, but some trust drops. [[Next|CrisisA]] :: PauseEye <<set $trust += 10>> <<set $security -= 5>> You pause EYE to investigate the leak. People trust you more, but safety drops slightly. [[Next|CrisisA]] :: LimitEye <<set $freedom += 10>> <<set $trust += 5>> You limit what EYE can watch. Freedom and trust increase. [[Next|CrisisA]]

:: PauseEye <<set $trust += 10>> <<set $security -= 5>> You pause EYE. The Council claps — for now. <<scores>> [[Next|CrisisA]]

:: LimitEye <<set $trust += 5>> <<set $freedom += 5>> You propose limited AI watching: only public spaces and human review. The Chamber nods. <<scores>> [[Next|CrisisA]]

:: TooSlowIntro <<set $trust -= 5>> You hesitated too long! The public notices. [[Next|CrisisA]]

:: CrisisA <<scores>> News alert: "Some private data was leaked!" The Council looks at you.

:: Apologize <<set $trust += 10>> <<set $security -= 5>> You give a sincere apology and promise reforms. Social media warms up. [[Next|FinalVote]]

:: BlameHackers <<set $trust -= 10>> <<set $security += 5>> You blame outside hackers. Some believe you, some don’t. [[Next|FinalVote]]

:: CitizenBoard <<set $trust += 15>> <<set $freedom += 5>> You create a citizen review board and release anonymized logs. The public applauds. [[Next|FinalVote]]

:: TooSlowCrisis <<set $trust -= 5>> You hesitated too long! People are unhappy. [[Next|FinalVote]]

:: FinalVote <<scores>> The Council prepares to vote on EYE’s future. You’ve made your choices — now, let’s see what happens. [[Next|EndingScreen]]

People feel safe and free!</p> <<elseif $security >= 65>> <p>⚔️ Safety First: EYE monitors everything for security. People feel safe, but privacy is lower.</p> <<else>> <p>🔀 Mixed Outcome: Some safety and some freedom, but people are unsure. Try again to see a better result.</p> <</if>> [[Play Again|Start]]
