That’s a really clean solution, and works well with the Side Quest system in the book (there’s an explicit system).
Of course it’ll mean a boat-load of additional Story Points: 7 quests completed = 7 Story Points, but I think the plot can handle all the side-characters and locations as long as they’re small boons, rather than a full Deus Ex Machina.
I don’t know why I keep hearing of security measures to stop someone sleuthing into bootloaders.
Am I the only person using Linux who isn’t James Bond?
