View source for You cannot discount the possibility that the mayor is trying to influence you personally to let your guard down.

The mayor's speech was so, so comforting.  So convincing.  He said exactly what you'd want to hear from a mayor in a crisis like this, and exactly the way you'd want to hear him say it.  Like the whole thing was tailored... just for you... 

It's hard to believe the mayor would do that.  After so many terrible mayors, each one a violent lunatic in his own right, this mayor has always seemed kind... fair... But you've no doubt that this mayor has the intelligence, the ability, and the will to carry out this kind of psychic assassination attempt on you personally while at the same time competently addressing the rest of his constituents.  Your friends, family, neighbors, coworkers.  While he kills you.  Gets you to put your guard down with his perfect words.  And then maybe the boots kicking the walls in, or they breach the basement bulkhead and throw in some kind of gas grenade or stun grenade. 

The mayor could do that.  But would the mayor do that?  Would he do it to you?

# [[You start to think of reasons the mayor wants you dead]]
# [[You don't think the mayor knows who you are at all]]
# [[You were right about boots kicking the walls in]]
# [[You were right about some kind of grenade]]
# [[go into hiding. The Mayor will never think to look for you in his vast barn]]
#[[You must kill the major before he kills you]]
