Given at this time the poll is leaning towards telling Willow, that will be my action next cycle unless the tide changes by that night cycle. I would appreciate feedback on my planned action.

At this point in time, if the action is to tell Willow, I would go to her about the smuggling ring and expose it, then request that any items, specifically the [Angel's Dawn] utopian item, be handed over to us as part of the reward as they will be needed to fight against the Stalkers.
From a gameplay standpoint, we should assassinate all the stalkers. I know this isn't the point of the thread but like

We clearly already made a choice, right? Souls come first.

We have room on the doom tracker, especially if we're as close as we're told. We KNOW the dealers have a Utopian item, which may be hidden if we turn them in. (Fair chance they simply escape Salvage Keep with their possessions and their lives.)

We are told Willow also has a Utopian item, through clairvoyance. She will not go away or hide it destroy her item if we do not comply. In other words, there are other ways of getting her item.

All from a gameplay perspective.

In-character, who cares if some of the Pokemon are doing drugs? Idk the side effects but uh, yeah. End of the world is happening. Everybod is dying and the only people trying to stop it are taking a roundabout way -- why not sway yourself numb for another day? What else is there to do, salvage?
