What Happened?
To understand this scenario, let’s fast-forward to the events:

The mole’s identity is only known by a select few, but you’ll start to unravel the mystery slowly. Keep in mind; there’s no right answer in this situation, rather it depends on your story goals.
Should I Tell Meg About Barb as the Mole? (Why It Matters)
So, why does whether or not you tell Meg about Barb matter? Knowing whether you should reveal Meg the mole’s identity serves multiple purposes:
• A small gain in Raider reputation**, whether Barb is spared (a moderate gain) OR killed (very slight gain).
• Barb’s fate: deciding to keep her identity secrets (you’ll still reap a minor reward) VS sharing her true intentions leaves it to Meg’s own devices (she might send mercenaries after her).
Virtue or Vice Alignment**? Your choice indicates which way you lean to uphold integrity or indulge mischief in this world.
Key takeaways:
• Reporting the mole’s identity contributes slightly to your Raider loyalty while putting Barb’s judgment at risk.
• Knowing what will happen to Bart doesn’t change the general quest objectives.
