The way she sees it- these people now know you, and if law enforcement picks up any of them for questioning they'll be able to comb their memories for a description of Antimony and Hachi. If that happens, law enforcement will be looking for Hachi and Antimony, and Jane will have to kill them if they interfere. Jane doesn't want to kill innocents if at all possible. If she has to kill a few cartel weapon smugglers to ensure that, it's an acceptable loss by her standards.<br/><br/>It also lessens the chance that hachi and Antimony will have to ditch their morphs after the mission. Jane, of course, equates switching morphs to the pair /actually dying/, so it has a larger priority for her.<br/><br/>So, it's not necessary as much as it is an efficient way to cover up their involvement.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>You're in Little Shanghai, so the cops are unlikely to care what you do. And eyewitness accounts are less valuable than the recordings from all the sensors overlooking the area.<br/><br/>The Night Cartel may have issues with what you did though.<br/><br/>And other factions that have an interest in Firewall might get curious and start poking around.<br/><br/>In general, popping stacks is pretty bloodthirsty. Roughly akin to double-tapping corpses after a shootout.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=243891.msg12161876#msg12161876">Quote from: wander on 17-03-2016, 23:47:11</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Also, it's not quite an insta-kill because those goons can be raised from a recent back-up they made and downloaded into a fresh stack in whatever their new morph will be.<br/><br/>Potentially.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Assuming they have backup insurance, or that the Cartel thinks they're worth bringing back.<br/><br/>If those aren't true, than yeah, that'd perma-kill them.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=243891.msg12161995#msg12161995">Quote from: AndyZ on 18-03-2016, 00:24:16</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">By the way, do Jovians consider synthomoprhs to be alive in the same way?  Probably not, but worth checking.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>They're considered soulless abominations.
