Alright, you may or may not have noticed I posted in this thread. I was rewriting the original Achilles hiring thread but then realized how great that thread was. Obviously, the Achilles stuff wasn't great, but for a stupid thread we ended up adding a lot to it and in the end it would just be a lot of rewriting stuff we already did and slowing down the story even more.
So, I've decided that Achilles is going to stay on the ship... and then he's going to die. This will let Desmond and Vitale (and anyone else?) beat up his character and use him to further NPC out Corvey leaking intel. Once that is done we can dispose of him in several ways.
1) He dies in the Sweethome attack. We're fighting tons of well armed guys so it makes sense that we might take some losses and have a level of realism. Achilles is a big tough guy who does some crazy reckless thing and dies in the process.
2) He gets tired of getting his ass beat and tries something during the interrogation. Maybe he even comes clean to Corvey that he was a plant and plots an escape. We of course space him for that since those were the conditions of him being hired... after he gets beat some more for trying it.
3) After we think the cellmate thing has gotten as much info as it has gotten, we might even just have Desmond or whoever "snap", pull a gun, and just blow his brains out in front of Corvey. "You think I'm playin'?!"
4) Some other idea you guys have? IDK
I just want the story to start rolling again. I think keeping Achilles on will avoid retcon work, help push the story forward, and give us a little OOC fun in brutalizing his character.
