Put the book in the containment bay and have them begin working.

Is Cheryl able to communicate with Tosh and Spike at all? Or does she feel that doing so would attract the attention of the S.U.E.'s?

>>17615286
Bring it up.

On an unrelated note, our new doctor should be making his rounds doing initial physicals and 'illegal' soldier boosts pretty much since he arrived. Please keep us posted on what squads are done with their physicals.
I'd suggest White Mages first. Anything that helps them survive helps the rest survive.

>>17615319
>>17615327
She can try again if you want her to. Not that she's thrilled by the idea.

The book is loaded into the bay and research begins.

>>17615353
Hold off until we have concrete results.

We'll contact Tosh if there's something he needs to do to get out.

>>17615286
How long for a single Heavy Reality Disruptor Rifle?
We can't sit on our hands with our people in there.

Have the Aurors and the various psychics in on the examination. Throw in a TW for Object Read.

>>17615286
Bring it up
Research it
Have Cheryl see if she can contact Tosh
Have the Farseers do similar.
Have the Aurors scry Tosh

We have the S.U.E.'s addresses.
Have an Observer identify the locations, then have one Sandman go over each with a tricorder. Looking for personal logs, diaries, details of travels. Also details of Bank and Credit accounts, because finding what they're spending their money on is the next logical step.

>>17615353
I do indeed want her to.

Reality Emitters to full power. Have the rest of the ships come fairly close and try to overlap their cap-grade fields.

Anyone who's dealing with the book needs to have those filter masks on. Yes, Cheryl too. Have everyone on combat alert. Can we get that holo-emitter to make with the images of things the SUEs hate? Keep it ready just in case.

Once we get our guys out, we burn these fuckers and burn them fast. Reward would be nice, but if it comes to it just killing them will be fine.

>>17615353
Try to reach them, we need an idea on what their status is.
Being out of contact is bad.

>>17615391
>>17615353
Keep that part of the ship as cleared of personnel as possible while they poke it remotely.

This would be a good time to note that we had wanted to make a backup of ANON's databanks, in case something happened.

"Yeah... you're right. Can't leave the guys stranded. One sec..."

>>17615458
Cheryl winces. "They're... What? I managed to make contact briefly, but it doesn't make sense. All I got was 'Mickey Mouse."

>>17615469
That's all I needed to hear to know this is gonna get really weird really soon.

>>17615469
Dammit, it sounds like the book is a portal to a Kingdom Hearts sub-world.

Have Cheryl try to contact them one more time, tell them to lay low while we figure out a way to bring them back.

>>17615469
well that confirms why this aprticular deviant art thing was hit.

things seem to make a hell of alot of sense to me now.

>>17615469
>>17615477
Crap.
We'll need to examine the book enough to make the jump to whatever corrupted Kingdom Hearts world they RP in.
Hell, just carrying the book in should cut them off from the outside world.
Pic related. He's trapping someone physically within their own psyche.

>>17615469
Sapphirus is loosely associated with the Kingdom Hearts canon.
...Things are about to get very -very- stupid.

Aw man, I go to bed as soon as we reach one of maybe...five of the settings in the quest thus far I actually like.

Hey look, a shiny?

>>17615546
Part of me is entertaining thoughts of recruitment options, if versions of certain canonical characters haven't been too corrupted by the stupid.

Dude, though, man, if we caught Sora at the end of 100 Jiminy's journal completion in KHII, he'd be completely fucking unstoppable.

something to ponder

>>17615593
From what little I know of the Kingdom Hearts canon, I know that I want nothing to do with it.
Then again, Kingdom Hearts itself is a crossover canon. It might be worth setting up a /tg/ office there. Probably get all sorts of vagrants from Disney and Final Fantasy showing up and looking for work.

>>17615593
That's why we should always attempt diplomacy and skullduggery instead of raidah-style "SHOOT ALL DA GUNS!"

>>17615568
"I've made contact," Cheryl reports, her eyes still closed. "They're going to stay low. They're in some strange fantasy land... Tosh says he knows one of the creatures here is Mickey Mouse, but he hasn't seen too much of 'old Terran culture'. I have though, so it's pretty obvious where there are. They've kept out of sight so far, though. Tosh can steal food from the nearby town to keep them going for a while if time becomes a problem. Oh, they're all accounted for too. No one got zapped somewhere else."

>>17615607
Actually Kingdom Hearts doesn't seem to really intersect with other canons just...pocket versions of those canons, the 'theme park' version if you will.
The Square characters don't even have that. They are essentially OCs that are similar to their original incarnations.
Although that reminds me, are FFVIII SEED units actually any good?

>>17615580
this.

or EXTREMELY overpowered because its bullshit KH universe.

>>17615607
yeah it's dumb as hell, but there's something to be said about what the poor kid's been through and overcome completely.

i mean he gets turned into a heartless, stabs himself in the chest, gets massive amnesia, beats up THE DEVIL (!!!!)
and by the end of the series, fucker can transform, teleport, fly
man i'm fucking too tired to be doing this

I would say an even higher priority than killing Saphirus and El would be to ensure that no incarnation of Xehanort becomes aware of the meta.
Because... seriously fuck that guy.

>>17615632
Okay, that's not too bad. The Sandmen were former MetaEarth natives, so between them, and Spike, and Tosh, they should be able to figure things out locally and stay out of sight.

Now we need to concentrate our scientists on the book, and the engineers on getting Reality Disruptors ready.

>>17615607
Yes, that's plausible with enough diplomacy involved. Also gives us a good rep with requisitions.

Wait, Saphirus is an RP character.
What if this is an rp world, with other original characters?
What if we actually have to team up with them?

>>17615665
SANICHU!

>>17615638
From what I've seen, the games themselves are pretty good. All the characters are slightly different crossover doubles, outside of the actual original characters. I watched playthroughs of the first couple games, once upon a time.
I have noticed some _really_ stupid fan wankery around it though.

>>17615607
For example, since Star-Lord, Data, and Darius are probably close to levelups, we could enter Data, Star-Lord, Darius and Lyla in Hercules' cup and see how well they do. Should get XP, might get an item.

But that's AFTER we rescue our friends, introduce the S.U.E.s to an entire fleet's worth of reality emitters, shoot them with however many reality cannons and weapons we have ready at the time, and strike them off the face of the planet.

>>17615670
The problems really started with Organization XIII a.k.a. 'The Legion of Anime Stereotypes'.
To be honest, I'm glad we're only dealing with Sapphirus instead of Organization Infinity or one of the other countless derivatives.

>>17615684
That's if it's the 'real' Kingdom Hearts canon, and not some twisted copy.

The room was vast but dim, a yawning man-made cavern of metal that held a scattering of strange machines and devices at its center. These machines whirred and moved as they were adjusted and re-adjusted by a small crew of technicians who lovingly worked on them as if they were favored pets. While these men and women worked, an ever-growing throng of people clustered at a safe distance to watch, keeping to the cordons that separated the work areas from the audience. On the border between them was set up a booth beset with microphones and speakers, an extremely eager looking young man in an oil stained work jumpsuit sitting besides a rather nervous looking young woman with glasses in the same.

“Centuries ago, three men had a dream!” the young man bellowed to the audience, all but jamming the microphone in his hand to his mouth. “To create an arena where engineers and inventors would create fantastic new devices never before seen, dazzling the world with their creativity and innovation! Today, that dream is a reality in the founding of the Radium Stadium, th-”

“Marv, it's just cargo-hold fifteen with some tables and chairs set up...”the young woman protested. The young man, Marv winced, glaring at her.

“Jennifer, don't you ruin this for me.”

“I'm just saying!” she said, putting up her hands.

“Anyway, these three men will judge the worthiness of those who rise to challenge their mastery of engineering! These-”

“I don't think this is how that show works anyway, it-”

“Jennifer, shut up, I swear to God. Anyway, these men are here today to find out if among our modest engineering team...” Marv suddenly deepened his voice and gestured with his free hand over the work-arena. “...there might be an IRON ENGINEER!!!”

>>17615684
RAIDAH-TYPE THINKING DETECTED.

We could goad the SUEs into killing each other instead while we slink away.

>>17615695
OH SHIT, I LOVE IRON ENGINEER!

I'm now reminded that someone was requesting the Magic Mirror way back when.

>>17615696
Nah. I'm pretty sure El is created to be broken by Saph's boyfriend, so breaking them up won't work.

>>17615702
That was me, we got the Farseers, they do the same thing.
Of course, saying "Mirror, mirror, in good proportions, show me this world's reality distortions" and "Mirror, mirror, I ask thee, who is this world's S.U.E." would be amusing.

>>17615721
That's genius.

>>17615695

I am not sure why we are getting this now, but I don't really care. ALL OF MY WANT.

>>17615695

Spot lights lit one by one on a series of three large pedestals, each with a cloaked figure standing on top of them.

“Belthasar, Guru of Reason!” Marv bellowed as the ghostly guru threw off his cloak and took a deep bow to the audience, which went wild at the gesture.

“Uh... Melchoir, Guru of Life!” Jennifer announced. The second pedestal lit up, Melchoir tossing off his cloak and raising his cane to thunderous applause.

“Last but not least, the Man at the End of Time! Gaspar, Guru of Time!” Marv announced. The final pedestal lit up to reveal the last guru still in his cloak... somehow having fallen fast asleep while leaning on his cane. One of the crewmen hastily jogged over and tugged at his sleeve until he woke with a start.

“Huh? OH! Right!” Gaspar murmured, throwing off the cloak and striking an over-dramatic pose. Marv and Jennifer winced in unison.

“Now let's meet our challengers!” Marv said, sweeping his arm around to point at a large group of men and women in baggy gray mechanic suits. “They built the ships and guns that won the First, Second, and Third Alien Wars! They've slapped together psi-amps, they've put together plasma cannons, they've assembled the Avenger, they're X-COOOOOOOOOM!”

>>17615721
We could do that to the Farseers.
"Farseer, Farseer, untangle this world's skeins, show us the source of this world's pain."
Of course, we'd have to dodge Mind Bullets after that.

>>17615732
It's a clairvoyant mirror. As far as I know, Snow White / Aurora (How did one person split into these two characters, anyway? Might need to look into that, could be handy for requisitions) never uses it after she kills her mom.

>>17615752
I'm pretty sure they are already making fun of us behind our back, lets not have them do it to our face.

>>17615751
The audience cheered as the group of engineers started to cheer back, clapping their hands together and smiling.

“Ah... he's just a good old boy from a good old state,” Jennifer announced as the spotlights swiveled around to highlight a man in overalls, gloves, and a hard hat strumming a guitar. “He's unflappable and confident because he doesn't have problems, he SOLVES problems! He can built a teleporter from scrap metal in ten seconds or shoot the spy that tries to sap it in five, it's the BLU Engineer!!!”

The hard-hatted builder rose to applause as he brought the guitar over his head and smashed it on the ground with a deafening yell. The audience applauded even louder at this, while Mr. Conagher merely took a bow and sat back down with a goofy grin.

“They drink beer! They create inventions! They were originally just one man who used a gate to clone himself over NINE HUNDRED MILLION TIMES!” Marv intoned as the spotlights swung over a group of identical men, all with a half-empty mug of beer in their hands. “They're the GAAAAAAAAAAAV CLOOOOOOOOOOOOOONES!”

The clones stood back, chugged the remaining beer in each mug and then smashed the empty mugs on the floor with a loud battle-cry.

“He's just an ordinary New Yorker that collected spores, mold, and fungi! He can tell you about the twinkie or make the Statue of Liberty dance the can-can! The only thing more dangerous than crossing the streams is crossing HIM! It's EGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!” Marv bellowed as the spotlights settled on the uniformed, bespectacled scientist. He adjusted his glasses.

“I thought this was going to be at least somewhat professional,” he coldly stated.

“Now the challengers will each craft use the day's secret ingredient along with their own wits and ingenuity to craft an invention in the hopes of impressing our judge-Gurus and winning a shot at the coveted title... IRON ENGINEER!” Marv shouted, standing and walking over to a large, covered vat. “And the secret ingredient of the day?”

The zealous spokesman ripped off the cover, revealing the translucent vat to be full of bubbling green goo.

“IT'S FLUBBER!!!!” he screamed.

OP has decided to sooth our minds with awesome after the pummeling they took trying to understand our foes.

>>17615873

It's not said often enough, MetaOP. You are fantastic!

Xcom makes:
BOUNCING SUIT, upgrade to Flying suit that bounces projectiles back at attackers. Problem: If you try to pick up a gun, it bounces away from you.
Xcommies then spend the rest of the day playing Pinball with rookies wearing bouncing suits and high explosives.

Team Fortress Engineer makes:
Flubberporter! It's the teleport that'll get you where you need to go, and when you get there, you'll come out flying. Cut to an image of a Scout flying through the air at Mach 1 saying "Need a teleporter here".

Egon makes:
A useful, all-purpose lubricant. It is revealed that he hasn't touched his supply of flubber, and has mistakenly used Slimer as the all-purpose lubricant.

Gav clones make:
Beer. Green, bouncy beer that stays in a glob. So now you can play Beer pong with ... REAL BEER. Spend the rest of the day goofing off with the X-commies.

The Gurus make:
Glow in the dark flubber. Voted as best Flubber-related invention.

Of course he made a gun with it.
He's BLU Engineer.

>>17615873

I think it'd be more along the lines of.

Xcom makes bouncing bullets. Rookie fatalities go up 500%.

BLU Engineer makes a flubber sentry. It bounces after enemies.

Gav clones, Also guess beer.

Gurus give the flubber magic. It joins the crew as a hero character.

>>17615873
“Uh... The contestants will each now begin work on their respective inventions, using only the tools we have provided for them in this cargo- er, in the Radium Stadium,” Jennifer said, pulling at her collar. “They will each have exactly two hours to design and build an invention using flubber. Whichever invention is the most impressive according to the judges wins!” Jennifer winced. “...and if the command crew finds out this is what we spent the 'unmarked' budget on, we're all going to lose...”

“LET THE INVENTION COMMENCE!” Marv shrieked as the mass of engineers went to work under the watchful eye of the Gurus. A flurry of motion followed as each team scrambled to take a sample from the vat, run tests on it, draw up plans, and get to work. BLU began singing an old country song as he began smacking a jar of the green stuff with his wrench. The X-COM engineers began drawing an elaborate schematic on a portable blackboard they had set up. The Gav clones broke out in an argument that nearly caused a fist-fight. Egon was silent as the grave as he immediately began to assemble parts into an odd box-like construction.

The following two hours was tense, each team so intent on their own workings that partitions or barriers between the groups to promote fair play were hardly needed. Finally, Gaspar stood up and smacked his pedestal with his cane.

“Your time!” he shouted. “...is ended!”

“PRESENT THE INVENTIONS!” Marv screamed into the microphone as Jennifer covered her ears.

>>17615982
>BLU began singing an old country song as he began smacking a jar of the green stuff with his wrench.

,,,Whatever works I guess.

>>17615982
>if the command crew finds out this is what we spent the 'unmarked' budget on, we're all going to lose...
No, we'd only be furious if this wasn't recorded so that we could put it up on MetaTube and make money off of merchandising.

>>17615982
For some reason I'm imagining the judge's voice to be the same one as the judge from "the wall"

Also, who are these people?
Like do they work for us directly or for Headquarters?

>>17615982
Um, should we let them know we're streaming it to every screen in the ship?

>>17616006

Seriously. We are only mad you didn't tell us before hand so we could sell tickets. We could have had concession stands, souviners commerical sponsors, ect. So many missed opportunities here.

>>17616019
And interrupt now? No way!

“Each inventor will now approach the Gurus with their invention, explain, and demonstrate it,” Jennifer said into the microphone. Marv grinned and smashed a fist into his open palm.

“And then they'll use them to BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF EACH OTHER!!!”

“What?” Egon asked, looking up in confusion. “I wasn't told about that...”

“X-COM is FIRST!” Marv shouted.

“No, really, no one said anything about...” Egon protested, trailing off as the X-COM team guided out a smooth metal disc hovering above the floor at about one meter.

“Having determined the flubber's primary function to be enabling of flight, we took an old Cyberdisc corpse and re-engineered it to use the flubber for its primary propulsion system. This freed up enough space on the interior to add another THREE heavy plasma cannon, plus a lattice-work of alloy-webbing that dramatically increases its durability in combat,” the presenting engineer patted the design. “We estimate just ONE of these can contain a Snakeman incursion with no backup. And as a bonus, its new flight system is rated high enough to keep pace with Interceptors, giving our boys in the air valuable backup when trying to down that pesky Terror-ship!”

“Nice, nice...” Belthasar nodded. “I approve. Reminds me of the Blackbird. In the unstoppable engine of doom way.”

“Well, I reckon that's mighty nice...” Engineer said, stepping forward, his thumbs in his belt. He walked over to his table, draped in a cloth. “But it's still got nothing on this little beauty...”

>>17616019

Naw...it is more fun that the think it is a "secret".

>>17616059
After they're done, remind them, that we'll raise their R&D budgets if we get to sell it as Pay Per View next time.

>>17616051
Poor Egon, and I'm hearing him in his movie voice too.

>>17616051
The BLU Engineer yanked the cover off, revealing... a yellow hard hat with a few boxes and wires attached to it. With a big grin, he reached down and picked it up, pulling off his own hat and putting the new one on in its place.

“Now, I get you old boys figured flight was a pretty big feature of the flubber and I agreed with you,” Engineer said as he began to float off the ground. “This here hat of mine uses the flubber to generate a directional levitating field that offers perfect maneuverability flight at decent speeds to whoever wears it.” Engineer grinned as he turned to face a four foot by four foot block of steel put out for raw materials. “But I didn't stop there.”

The boxy sides of the hard hat fell away, twin multibarreled rotary guns sliding out and roaring to life, shredding the sides of the steel block until in the span of a few seconds, it was carved to resemble a metal replica of Texas.

“I used minute amounts of the flubber to create these tiny rail-guns in the hat,”Engineer said, smiling at the Stadium's new statue. “Devastating firepower, and mind-linked to the wearer's brain for maximum accuracy.”

“That's... something...” Melchoir hesitantly said, shooting a look at Gaspar, who just shrugged. The sound of slow clapping echoed across the Stadium.

“Quaint,” the de-facto leader of the Gavs aboard the ship said, stepping forward. “...but prepare yourself for what my colleagues and I have created!”

>>17616051

No whammy, no whammy, no whammy...stop!

The Gavs massed and began rolling a large ten foot tall crate forward. The lead Gav gestured.

“BEHOLD!” he shouted. The Gavs pulled the cover off, revealing a containment crate with a huge mass of green goo within, moving of its own accord and constantly changing shape.“THE FLUBBER SHOGGOTH!”

The lead Gav turned to the others with a huge grin. “We used the analyzed data from the Elder-Thing vault with our own conjectures and data from previous experiments to synthesize an artificial life-form using the flubber as its basic structure! Our Flubber Shoggoth can assume any form, mimic any shape, alter its density at will... and it can FLY! Observe!”

“You fool, what are you do-” Belthasar began to shout.

The lead Gav made a motion and one of the other Gavs pulled a lever, popping open the top of the crate and allowing the monster to soar into the air above with an alien roar as it began to lash out with its pseudopods, grabbing BLU engineer and immediately tossing him into a newly created orifice as the X-COM Cyberdisc began pelting the monster with plasma bolts. The audience screamed and began running for the doors.

“Quick Egon, what's your invention!” Marv shouted. “Before our viewers all run away!”

We'll sneak in some subliminal messages into the broadcast, roll to see how effective.

At least this is eating up all the shit rolls for the RainbowSue adventure.

I never did watch that particular remake.

>>17616159
Alright, for future reference, lets... lets keep a close eye on the Gavs from now on.

>>17616159
>Letting the flubber shoggoth out of its cage
Okay, yeah, that would make the Command Crew kind of mad.

>>17616216
I'm starting to see why the show was a flop. Character's of multiple canons interacting in a less than official manner, dangerous weapons being developed in a game-show environment without the usual safety checks; stuff like this would make Black Ops and High Command shit their britches.

“Well, I didn't actually make anything for combat...” Egon said, pulling off the cover from his table, revealing a large metal cube with more than a few moving parts. A green, glowing orb was barely visible at its core. Egon flipped a switch and the machine started to whir and hum as its parts spun to life. “I couldn't help but notice the sheer amount of energy put out by the flubber in its various other applications,” Egon noted. “So I developed this machine to tap that energy, effectively creating a desktop-sized power-plant capable of running a small city indefinitely, with no waste created or fuel expended.”

A shower of sparks suddenly flew up from the device as arcs of electricity begin to cascade around the room. Egon nonchalantly ducks as most everyone begins to dive for cover, bolts of lightning striking everything nearby. An arc of lightning hit the Cyberdisc, causing it to shriek in protest and collapse to the ground, smoking. A shower of bolts struck the shoggoth and it emitted a high-pitched squeal before shuddering and melting into a sticky pile of protoplasm, dropping Engineer to the ground, coated in slime. The mercenary mechanic shakily got up, then fell over, a trembling hand pointing to the ceiling.

“I'll see you fellers...” he murmured. “...at the respawn point. Uuuurgh....”

The three Gurus poked their heads up from behind their pedestals and dusted themselves off.

“Well, looks like no contest here. Egon, YOU are the IRON ENGINEER!” Melchior declared, raising his cane in salute as Gaspar did the same. Having no cane, Belthasar just made his way over to a blinking, slightly singed Egon and shook his hand.

“...I guess the machine still needs some fine tuning,” he murmured as he looked over the devastated Stadium.

“Well, there you have it folks!” Marv cheerfully said, standing up from behind his booth as if nothing had happened. “Another exciting show, another excited engineer! Join us another time for-”

“Wait! Wait!” a voice shouted as a pale figure raced into the room. He stopped a few feet from the booth. “I only now got the message. I would love to participate in your contest. I...”

“Sorry, Data, it's already over,” Jennifer winced. Data's face fell.

“...but I had such wonderful ideas! I could try to create a new model of android based on...” Data protested. Marv slapped a hand on his shoulder.

“Next episode, eh pardner? Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, but we've got to wrap it up for tonight,” Marv turned to the camera. “And we'll see YOU next time!”

“...Marv I don't think we can sneak in enough equipment for a next...”

“...shut up, Jennifer.”

>>17616238
Hmm. This could be quite useful.

they made a flubber shoggoth. knowing the full story behind the shoggoth rebelliousn they made and released a flying version... this reaction image isn't quite strong enough but its all i got.

Also that reminds me, maybe we should check in with our research teams sometimes and ask them if -they- have anything they'd like to work on?

..I like Jennifer. We need to keep her in mind for when we're developing Bridge Bunnies. She seems like she's got a good head on her shoulders... And she knows how to follow orders. *finishes up recording of Iron Engineer and sends the footage to post-production*

Any other Writefaggotry before you enter sleep?

Planning thread up this way if you wanna argue over requisitions, and how to kick this Rainbow Sue in the cunt:

I liked it.

>>17616297
>>17616286

I thought it was pretty good for a first try. I didn't expect flubber of all things to be used as a secret ingredient. Poor Data, though.

I'd give it an 8/10 or so. I'd love to see the rest of the stuff you've written up about the TG crew.

He says I.
>>17616286
Could probs be better. Poor pacing; building of tension and resolving conflict was all over the place. Pretty good for a 1st time though.

>>17616286
Pretty good I'd say, especially for a first attempt. You've succeeded in humor, but not sure about structurewise. Like it feels like reading a transcript of a show, which was probably your intention, but it feels a bit... off to me for some reason I can't put my finger on.
Still enjoyed it though.

>>17616297
No, Data does use "I". The contractions criticism is a little too narrow, as there are instances wherein Data used contractions, especially after he acquired his emotion chip.

I found the entire escapade very amusing, and I look forward to reading more vignettes from our vacation time.

>>17616286
So, what's next?
Iron Engineer?
Tosh the iPod whisperer?
Elaine spamming Heals on people's sanity?
Holtz getting maximum booze?
A /tg/ recruit mysteriously flying out an airlock after flipping off Yurgus?
Char and Crowe trolling each-other?

>>17616321
Sleep. Night all! Next session will be on Monday, I have weekend plans. If the thread is still up tomorrow night, I'll see if I can't drop in and drop off another scene or two.

>>17616328
k

Let's ask /tg/ what they think the next scene should be. I think Deadly Scientists.

>>17616297
>>17616274
This is emotion-chipped Data.
Contractions are fine.

>>17616328
Rest well.
Thanks for the show.

>>17616321
I'm hoping for Deadliest Scientist.

I personally would like to have a cheeky Command Crew member ask the Farseers a question phrased as if being directed towards the Magic Mirror.

page 14? I say thee nay!

Bumping to keep the thread alive for OP's inevitable return. Barring his house burning down, of course.

>waiting for more glorious writefaggotry from OP

Thank god I got here before we attacked Saph.

RECRUIT JOHNIASS DRAGONRAPER. And get him a full suit of equipment made from pure stan. We'll be all set to go with that.

>>17623577

Who the fuck is that? sounds made up to me.

Also, we can't recruit-we're on a mission.

You must be new here.

Although I *am* missing the Black Arrow right about now...

>>17623577
>>go straight to attacking

U dun goofed before you even dun goofed

>>17623625
I'm thinking it's raidah or coobie.

seriously, the fuck is 'johniass dragonraper'? sounds like a fucking SUE to me.

>>17623623
>who is that

Holy fuck the new...

When /tg/ first became aware of Saph, we realized that this was an opportunity for unprecedented levels of trolling. /tg/'s masterful minds created a sue-stomping badass by the name of Johniass Dragonraper. He was given a sword made from pure stan (Saph's sword is made from stanless steel, so the idea was that it was weak to stan). Then an awesome writefag put out the epic tale about the battle between Saph and Johniass. The dragon-sue was humiliated and broken, and there was much rejoicing. There were a few stories after that but they sucked.

>>17623800
that sounds like just another sue.

And we cannot recruit mid-mission, so the point is meaningless.

Which you'd know, if you'd followed the quest at all.

>>17623800
>>17623938
>>17623655
>>17623623
Wasn't aware that he was a direct response, but yeah. The Dragonraper is up there with the other /tg/ creations, like the Angry Marines.
He was the answer to where half-dragons without a consenting dragon came from, instead of the typical girl-meets-dragon crap.
Seems 1d4chan has an alternate origin involving a cursedly large penis being the reason for his dragon hunting. http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Talk:Johniass_Dragonraper
He is a man of many origins. He had many a writefagging and some copy-pasta in his day. I imagine the 'stan' gear was a later addition to counter this painfully colored threat.

>>17624164
He is a time honored /tg/ 'protagonist', perhaps we shall find him as well in the land inside the book.
..I vote we don't recruit him, his place is there.. he still has threats to quell..

>>17623800
Ha. Looks like someone put a whole tale of Johniass doing his thing in the comments of some of the pictures back in 2008.

>>17624261
Now that I've read the whole thing, I feel ill in the opposite direction the nausea from the art causes.
There is no winning here.

>>17623938
He could be used as a weapon against the main SUE. Besides, he was made to kill SUEs, we do have a common interest.

>>17625843
Except he's a SUE himself, and as soon as the fight is done, we'd need to put a bullet in the back of his head.

Besides, it's unlikely he's around, and we don't have the means to search for him.
So drop the stupid idea so we can work on an actually valid plan.

>>17625843
Also, he doesn't KILL S.U.Es, he rapes the hell out of them, then Falcon Punches them to force an abortion. It's a horrible suggestion and whoever wants him should feel bad.

>>17626207
Yeah.

>>17625876
Guys...

What if, and bear with me here...

What if this Saph thing is a canon we have to protect.

From /tg/'s own crossover event based on this dragonraper?

I don't like it, I get this funny feeling in the back of my neck when I think about it. We may have to face our own creative shadows on this.

>>17628439
It doesn't matter. It's producing a reality distortion field, and as far as our sensors can tell, it's a standard distortion frequency.
We kill it, that's our job.

>>17628558
That's true, but we haven't pinpointed the distortions yet. For all we know, we may be in Saph and El's home canon, and tasked with defending those monstrosities, it's a possibility we've been speculating about for a while.

Also,
>linking books
Hells yeah. We are going to revolutionize transit drive tech the way we did reality emitters.

>>17628784
Very unlikely given that the reality distortions are coming from the book that they're using to move between this world and the Kingdom Hearts world.

Besides, there's a bounty, and therefore a kill order, out on these two from High Command.
One way or the other, our job is to kill them.

>>17628887
Don't be so hasty to want to bring out all the guns.

Well, the distortions aren't coming from them. I suggest we just leave it to someone else to deal with them once we deal with the book.

1.We could send the book (when contained in stasis) to TG Requisitions so they can set up a recruitment office in the KH canon.

2. The bounty might be a case of mistaken identity, which leads us to #3

3. "Just because they're the enemy doesn't mean we have to defeat them". There lies the possibility that we can just talk our way out of this.

>>17630511
The book may only lead to a corrupted version of Kingdom Hearts.
However, I find it hard to believe that both High Command and the Shipper Union BOTH made a mistake concerning these two.
And killing S.U.E.'s is our job. That's what we're supposed to do, not attempt negotiating with them. Their very existence is a threat to stability and they need to be erased.

>>17631127

1. High Command doesn't like us. I suspect it could also be a setup by them to get rid of us.

2.The Shipper Union, by principle, is deluded. Furthermore there's no distortions given off by these people, according to the readings AND the Farseers.

Suppose you discover that Saph and El turn out to be normal, what then?

>>17631307
Well, by definition they ain't normal.
But yeah, I proposed a similar concern regarding which canon is what.

Also, we still need to figure out what the canon of /this/ world is. It looks like the book is the distortion giving these idiots access to their fantasy world, but that book isn't a part of any of the canons- so where did it come from? Caused by the linchpin? Or dropped off by some other force?

Stranger yet, what if their freakish creations went SUE, and punched a hole into this reality to kidnap their players?

>>17631603
>>17631307

raidah: RAWR! BANZAI! DAKKADAKKA!

*Saph and El explode*

>>You killed them, but they weren't the SUEs. Fission Mailed.

raidah: At least we killed something with a lot of firepower!

>>17631307
Well, on this mission at least, we can head back and ask Holtz if the bounty is real. We'd also need to ask what happens if we were to kill them. If that is their natural canon, would it collapse? Would it cause a bigger problem than letting them live?

>>17632692
Since we have nothing on the AUH, we can ask Pellaeon to go back and inquire with Holtz.

>>17631307
For one, the Farseers didn't say that they detected no reality distortion from the S.U.E.'s, only that they weren't currently in the world.
Two, since they've passed a dimensional boundary, the Storm's sensors haven't gotten a scan of them, meaning that your assertation that they aren't producing a reality distortion to be pure bullshit.
Third, the Shipper Union is mercenary, not deluded, regardless of the thoughts and fantasies of its individual members. They go and grab people and things for their clients, and are paid well for it.

>>17632692
We cant go back to base until those 'security audits' are completed, as we've been making reality disruptors and doing other reality-emitter stuff, and there's a good chance that ANON and possibly other systems will communicate with the bases systems, possibly as a matter of routine, to do things like provide ANON with the latest intel and send logs and other data for transmission to high command.

My vote is we don't return to base until we are sure we've found any backdoors and other hidden stuff in our ships, and 'proofread' our logs

>>17636395
We don't send the Storm back, obviously. We send back the AUH because nobody and nothing essential except Pellaeon is on it.

>>17636395
What? We haven't done any more research, and we were never told not to _make_ anything, just to discontinue the research.

>>17636728
That is a better idea, but we should finish auditing it first, in any case, we should ask our tech experts (Mouse, Data, etc) for advice on this before we take any action.
