The Colour Of Truth

The Colour Of Truth is one of the Cueddhaest quests in The Long Journey Home.

Description
A Cueddhaest Herald intercepts and asks for the player's help. They ask the player to mediate in a conflict of two Feuding Cueddhaest Heralds. If the player accepts, the quest will be started and the player has to intercept the Feuding Cueddhaest Heralds.

The Feuding Cueddhaest Heralds are fighting in a very unique way. Since they are sitting on the same ship, there is no battle going on. One of the two is always activating the weapon systems while the other one tries to switch them off. It is possible to call them when the shields are on, off or in a flickering state. In the flickering state both are too busy to talk to the player. Calls during active shield phases will only be answered, if the player's shields are active, too. In the same way, inactive Cueddhaest shields require inactive human shields when calling. The player now has to talk to both Cueddhaest during their winning phase and answer a question to each of them on whether he thinks ORANGE or BLUE is right. If the player chooses consistently BLUE or ORANGE twice, the player will be rewarded with 200-230. If the player chooses both ORANGE and BLUE (i.e. agreeing or disagreeing twice), they will kill each other, their ship explodes and drops a Cueddhaest Gate Pass.
