Editing The Trouble with Tiddlets, Part 3 (section)

== Notes ==
* The funds for purchasing the ship are wired directly from Dr. Swanson to Dr. Martinez. The player acts only as negotiator.
* The various purchase outcomes reflect the impact of earlier player decisions.
* The player’s choice to either support the Institute’s plans or to free the Tiddlets highlights the moral dilemma in this mission. This decision likely influences the story’s direction and reflects the player’s stance on ethics versus scientific progress.
* Since the The Trouble with Tiddlets series is currently ([[Version History#Alpha 15|Alpha 15]]) one of the few available story contracts, it is currently unclear how these choices will impact future gameplay.
* Even if Dr. Martinez’s ship is destroyed after negotiations fail, the Institute is still required to pay $1,500,000 for the Short Hopper.
* Damaging Dr. Martinez’s ship or the Short Hopper during the breakdown of negotiations has no effect on the outcome.
* Prior to purchase, the Short Hopper cannot be destroyed, as its damage is capped at 90%. If purchased in this state, the player must transfer a new crew (the original crew is dead) and repair the ship using [[Logistics Drone]]s.
