I'll be happy with any ending in a single sentence, even "the survivors were executed"; as long as I don't have to deal with blue balls of incompleteness at the game's conclusion.
In short, input is welcome (Ples just gave me a lot of arguments in favor of a traditional ending... So it's still not just anything), but I should have listened to Anders.

Okay, I'll think about what to do until tomorrow.
- In this game, characters cannot be permanently killed in battle; instead, they will receive permanent injuries (so that the sense of danger is not too diminished); the fate of the characters can still be determined by the winners in case the entire team is defeated.
- Fragment, Locken, and Alex can decide for themselves whether they want to get up or not.
- The resolution of this specific situation (the mine, capturing prisoners, killing Tyros) will be decided through role-playing.
In general, I'm going to sleep and waiting for opinions.
