Not sure I agree with that point. I think she wants the world to see her as a sensible, benevolent person, but on the inside she's just as rotten as the rest of them. Ep.8 spoilers: There's a 'sex' scene of K1-K2 Kane and Juliette, Dominique and Mercy, in which Dominique absolutely shows her true colours, and it happens regardless of your choices as Dominique (I think). She can be as cruel as Jules, but only behind closed doors.
Im not saying that she's not cruel, Im just saying she doesn't embrace that shit. Deep down, she still thinks she's a good person. It's pretty much why Veronica tells Dom to get her shit together if Dom wants a chance at her support.
If Veronica is Grymm the 3-3 board tie could be like you point, but... Alessandra is too unreliable and opportunist to be solidly counted on any group. Tess even commented that here recently.
You're forgetting this:
If Dominique's true nature was solidified, but feigned being the opposite, considering how close they are on NOAH and the Soil Restoration projects, and Veronica's protection of Dominique, Veronica would know what that nature is. Instead Veronica accuses Dominique of not having chosen her true nature, she is neither good pretending to be evil, nor evil pretending to be good, she us trying to play both fields, or "have her cake and it to." So Veronica says "If you want my vote, then choose who you really are."
Nah, Not that much of a cool story, I already knew she wasn't going to provide any links to the uploaders.
Agree about Olivia and Veronica.
Projection from screenshot: Clearly Dominique has discovered that Cole has flown the coop, leaving the yellow roses as his "calling card" (this shot makes me wonder if this was a timed video message, especially since it hasn't been a week yet for her to check up on him). Is that Kwame's wife hanging from the ceiling on the right?Mistress Tess — Today at 11:18 PM
I accidently deleted my message being so tired! I was just saying that my trip was AWESOME and had made my next few years great for sure! This single client is almost a dream but I am having to hire a few people out there for specific political/business reasons so will at some point go back and forth a few times this year but it will be very nonintrusive with KG. In fact, this client is far more lucrative but generally less pure work by hours compared to other clients. Heh, I even negotiated business class tickets for on Qatar Airways for travel.(for me, BY FAR my favorite airline overall especially compared to American companies in general ugh)
But I need to adjust to time zone again, so resting off and on a day or so to recalibrate. I will have a big update soon discussing a few key points (I have more bullet points but listing a few here)
1) Plan for Part II
2) Formal joint recruitment post for KG and Anais' game, time to get a bit more help.
3) Plan for evil dom path (I have decided but want to discuss it with a few people before sharing my initial thoughts)
4) Final steps for Part I (walkthrough and basic corrections but no tweaks beyond now will impact saves at all current Final will work next part)
5) My upgrade plans for computer(s) and timing of it how I will write a bit more during the hopefully about one week I take to port over all my assets, files, and such to a 4090 computer.
6) I did manage to write a few scenes but not the walkthrough (need two screens to be faster with it) and will get on this after this weekend.
And the first formal preview picture of Part II!

Veronica's group (Veronica, Astrid, Yvette) is tied together because they're family.
For Veronica, its a case of Kane's moral compass overriding her logical side. Something similar to Kane saving the nurse when all factors pointed to failure if they made such an attempt.
On the boat scene, Juliette did confess to liking Olivia, but then Dominique convinced her that Olivia's just a Veronica puppet, and Juliette's treatment of Katsumi in Seth's torture shows how Juliette feels about Veronica puppets (which she openly labels Katsumi of being in that scene).
In the lab, Dominique confesses that the only candidate besides herself that she would vote for is Veronica. While Veronica challenges Dominique's identity, she doesn't challenge her claims of loyalty/voting, enforcing the truth of Dominique's statement. Dominique was also convinced that she had Veronica's vote secured, and is thereby shocked (and apparently hurt) by Veronica's support of Olivia. The only way I could see Dominique turning against Veronica is she discovers how much Veronica has been stacking the deck in Olivia's favor behind the scenes. Juliette also observes to Dominique's face that the eldest will never vote for Juliette, and therefore any alliance proposition is clearly a strategy for Dominique to strengthen her own position in the vote. In a power struggle, Veronica is the biggest threat to anyone, due to her control and resources, yet no one seems in a hurry to take her out (possibly because her life insurance policy that she used against Alexander is still in effect, so if anyone kills her, all the shock chips go dead, and their information destroyed). That leaves Dominique as the perceived threat against the hedonists, and I believe it is her that Alessandra wants dead for that reason.
