Kill Credit
System attribution for a kill, awarded here to a dinosaur for eating a warlord's discarded organs.
Story so far
The death of Epitome Tagg presents the system with an attribution problem. Mordecai could not remove the organs himself under the non-combatant code, Bucket Boy did the actual yanking, and Tagg himself signed off with a rage-quit that reads a lot like giving up.
The ruling is delivered with open exasperation: this one is just as complicated as the last one, it almost got called a suicide, and it almost went to the Bucket Boy kid — but it goes to pet Mongo of the Princess Posse, who chewed the extracted heart and lungs to hell. "Consider it a present for the baby shower."
Role
