NPCS we know:
-Your CO is Commander Sardis
-The Jakarta's Captain is Captain Nguyen
-The Jakarta's XO is XO Ambrose

You walk out of the briefing room, you can barely believe what just happened.
You, a Sergeant and an ICT Candidate to boot...

It's still sinking in but you know you can't just stand here leaning against the bulkhead all day.

>What would you like to do?

>Break the news to the squads
>Keep it to yourself
>Tell Briggs and Karrigan first
>Other

>>18999091
Keep it to ourself.

Don't want to go blowing our own trumpet now do we?

>>18999110

I think you're the first one to vote against it.
>>18993672
Most of the others couldn't wait to tell all their friends about how awesome they are.

>>18999130
I haven't been present for the other threads :/

Is our guy Renegade/Paragon, egotistical or what?

>>18999130

ofc we tell the squad. No reason not to do so. If I remember correctly we decided on accepting the offer and returning later so they will know it anyway. Let's celebrate!

>>18999140

You're pretty Paragon.
But honestly I think everyone is getting too caught up with "alignment".
In the ME universe it's mostly the sliding scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism. I'm pushing to flesh out Geronimo's character a little more but I think the guys are still asleep, I was hoping we'd all wake up about the same time considering they knew we'd play today.

You do have some pretty snappy one-liners for someone who's not egotistical though =p

>>18999160
we might want to tell it Kerrigan and Briggs first. Atleast that's what I would do. We are closest, on the other hand the squad is our family and we trust them with our life... no, I'd still tell the squad first.
But I need some other opinions.

>>18999160
>>18999110

Since it's what was decided last night I think I'm gonna have to roll with telling the squad.

You decide regardless of what you do everyone will want to know/eventually find out anyway. You resolve to tell them and celebrate the promotion together. Maybe you should see about getting some party supplies...

>>18999161
For the backstory don't start giving massive paragraphs of rushed text, just add little bits here and there whenever we have a meaningful conversation.

That way we'll be putting together all the pieces and the whole character reveal will be awesome.

>18999174
Yeh, tell the two closest members first, then tell everyone else.

Let us not forget, the revelation might not be that pupular. They will support us, I'm pretty sure but we still will leave the squad for quite some time. Celebration is fine ( and actually a very good and natural hing to do - it'll also boost moral) but aproach the situation carefully.

>>18999176
How's our reputation with the Krogan, could we get our hands on some Ryncol?

>>18999191
>>18999174

Alright let's roll with that then.

You get back to the barracks above the hangar deck.
You pass the soldier group arguing over who put the most Geth down. You notice Newton must still be in the infirmary, you may wanna see if you can drop in on him later.

>Tell Briggs First
>Tell Karrigan First
>Tell them both at the same time

>>18999232

This is an alliance starship, there are only humans on board.
That being said, this is the military and if you have the credits there is likely a guy who knows a guy.

Oh and there was one thing about the Tomahawk from the thread last night I wanted to clear up in the morning.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus

Basically it's this to a T.

It serves the same function as it did then and each member of your family has passed down a tomahawk to his son/daughter. Thus by my definition this is the same tomahawk even if it's been vastly upgraded for combat IN SPACE.

>>18999276
Awesome.

Anyway, i think i'll try and move the story along a bit. Let's tell both of them at the same time :)

>>18999276


I think it's something you should do in private, so just with one person. Let's tell whoever we find first of the two. I think the character himself is not in the mindset of thinking about who to tell first, I mean he just got promoted to super secret James Bond levels of awesomeness.

>>18999291

You lean into Briggs quarters.
It looks like Harris has decided to take a nap, Briggs is typing away on his Omni-tool.
"Hey Sarge, err Briggs, would you mind coming here for a minute. I got some news"

"Yeah sure just give me a second..." he finishes typing and deactivates his Omni-tool

He heads out into the hall with you.
"Hold on just a second, I want Karrigan here too." you say walking up the hall to her quarters.

You stand at the doorway to her room as well and she's still tinkering away with that device.
"Hey Karrigan, would you come here for a minute?"
She pauses and looks up at you, a set of magnifier glasses pushed low on her nose.
"Yeah sure, I need a break anyway, this thing is gonna drive me mad. It will release it's secrets to me yet though!" She says laying the device and glasses aside.

Briggs and Karrigan stand awaiting your news.
"I've been promoted to Sergeant." you state
"Holy shit...THAT'S AMAZING! uhhhh Sir?" Karrigan seems torn between knowing how to act with you now.
"HA! I knew Sardis was acting weird, he kept asking me about you but I didn't wanna say anything. That is fantastic, have they assigned you a squad yet?" Briggs sways a little as he said it. You think he is probably still a little drunk.

(Sorry, mom called didn't mean for it to take so long)

>>18999433

>Go ahead and tell them about the ICT Candidacy?

>>18999449
Might as well go the whole nine yards.

Also, have we done Karrigan yet? She sounds like she has a crush. (Sorry if i'm stating the obvious)

>>18999433
I had the sneaking suspicion that I was missing something, glad I dug around a bit.
>>18999449
Yah, go ahead and tell them.

>>18998978

>>18998978

>Pending Approval

>>18999529
Dat muzak.

Did you make this? I love it.

>>18999458
>>18999467

It may be a small crush. You have been her rank before this and now you're a superior, though. She technically has the address you as sir rather than Geronimo now.

"They haven't yet Briggs. There's one more part though, I've been asked to join the ICT Program." you state as neutrally as you can.
Karrigan's jaw drops, she's completely speechless.
Briggs looks a little confused at first but it settles into a huge shit eating grin.
"Heh, so that's what all those questions were about. Well I'm glad I gave you a sterling report kid. This is a huge opportunity and I can only hope you'll accept. We need officers willing to charge tanks for their squads." Briggs looks proud as hell.
Karrigan nods her head in agreement as well.
"Though, if you would do something for me. I'd appreciate it." Briggs puts his hand on your shoulder as he asks.

>>18999433

>assigned you a squad

"Well, they gave me a very unique opportunity. And I wanted to know how you'd feel if I randomly reassigned you from whatever your doing to come and back me up later."

>>18999449
Yeah, 'cause we are not a coward and besides, the truth will come out eventually

>>18999567

Ja. And Thank You.

>Now time to make banana pancakes for grampa, GL till I get back.

>>18999584
Holy crap, this is the first time I realized there are two Dowjins.

>>18999584

Wat? Theres only one of us.

>>18999570

Briggs is a Sgt. You can't reassign him.
He's gonna stay over Jackal. But trust me, I'm not gonna put him on the bus. He'll be fine.

>>18999569
"So, you know. If I'm an N7, I'll almost assuredly have the option of picking who's on my squad." Look at Karrigan. "Would you want to? Your the best damn techie I've met and it'd be great to have you."

>>18999458
It might have something to do with all the Geth toys we gave he last mission too.

>>18999648

N1 once you complete training. N7 is the highest level.
N is the designation for special forces and It's ranked 1 through 7.

Karrigan blushes ever so slightly "Yeah, of course I'd want to. But what about Haskill?"
"I don't think you're gonna have to worry about that." Briggs interrupts, "I'll talk to him, you let me know if there's anyone you want and I'll do my best to help make it happen kid."

"Like I was saying though, would you want to do me a favor kid?" Briggs asks you again since you ignored him last time.

>>18999714
>Oh shit, I need my coffee.
"Oh, yah anything for you man! Sorry, I'm a little off my footing, big news and all."

>>18999714
Crap, are we gonna be rolling dice and shit for the training. I've just had a look on the wiki and it sounds brutal :/

>>18999714
"Of course, Sergeant."

We might both be Sgt's, but he still outranks us and he was our squad leader until just recently.

Bringing Karrigan along seems a great idea, especially considering she has been playing with advanced tech for a little while now.

>>18999529
Awesome. Fine work indeed.

>>18999728

"Don't tell the rest of the squad yet, since we're drinking to Rodriguez later I think this would be a good pick me up after the ceremonial drink. You know? However that being said, we should really consider getting some party supplies going. There has to be more booze on this boat, I can smell it..." Briggs once again thinking of his favorite vices

"Yeah, I'd kill for some Serrice Ice right about now." Karrigan adds.

>>18999648
I'd ask her that privately. Other then that... yeah!

>>18999760
Do we have a storage room we can check? How about the kitchen? Also, is this just gonna be drinks and poker, or a full blown party?

>>18999739
That was the idea, most of the action was gonna happen off screen while we played around with Karrigan and Briggs some. I was gonna flip back to him for a couple of training "encounters" but the 6 weeks were gonna fly by.
It is possible to fail the ICT Program as it has a very high wash out rate. Almost 90%. It's a little like training for the Seals or any other special forces, it's an honor just to have been asked.
>>18999750
Retcon'd, you'll still address Briggs as Sgt.

>>18999792

"I say we go all out, a full party with as many guys," he looks to Karrigan, "and ladies, as we can invite. Seeing as how we just saved Eden Prime I'll see if I can get the Captain to agree to letting us get a little wild. As for the supplies, son you've been in the military right? Just start waving cash around and someone with a supply connection will probably find you. Here!" Briggs starts tapping away at his Omni-tool.

>Your omni-tool beeps and you see an additional 500 credits have been posted in your account.

"Take that and go find us some booze kid. I'll handle the rest. Oh though Karrigan might deem to help us out with decor. Right corporal?" Briggs puts on his best smile

"SIR, YES SIR!" Karrigan smiles and salutes you both the runs off to get started.

"Well, we'll catch you later son, if you need a hand just give me a shout on your tool." Briggs says as he heads towards the Bridge.

>You have 3550 credits

>>18999830
>Was having dinner

Well let's get to it! Where can we start looking on the ship and what places would we have access to?

>>18999830

Are we talking a hookers and blow kind of party?

What the hell did the thread die?
I guess you guys were waiting on me.
The lay-out of the Jakarta is as follows.
Top deck, Engineering 1
Deck 2, Armory
Deck 3, CIC, Briefing, CO quarters
Deck 4 Crew Deck
Deck 5, Barracks Deck
Deck 6 Hangar
Bottom Deck Engineering 2

>Where would you like to go/do?
>The party isn't due to start until much later this evening, you have several hours.

>>18999830
Armory.

Supply ALWAYS has the hook ups.

>>18999967
Generally you have access to anything, your new rank is already official and any HUD will identify you as a Sgt. or your Omni-tool credentials will also verify this. The only things outside your reach will be the CO Quarters without express invitation.

The Crew Deck and Hangar both seem to hold a large amount of supplies.
>>18999983
You're not planetside and I would recommend against having illicit substances on an Alliance Vessel, especially in such an open setting.

>>18999993

Go to the armory, say nothing incriminating, let our money do all of the talking.

>>19000045
Armoury?

Crew deck, if anyone on this ship knows where the good stuff is, they'll be here.

>>19000005

You head up the armory, the deck has a light crew at time of day which seems to consist of the Supply Sergeant and 2 assistants who seem to be mostly looking over the newly acquired gear and making sure everything is in tip-top shape and accounted for. The deck is pretty clean, they run a fairly tight ship here.

>>19000062
Best to go to the supply sergeant himself. He was the one who gave us the incendiary rounds last mission, so we could mention that we were throwing a party and that Karrigan would be there.

>>19000062
Try and talk to one of the assisstants when his CO isn't around.

>>19000062

"Hey guys, I'm throwing a pow wow with the team and I was looking for some standard issue entertainment. Any ideas?"

>Let them make the decisions on how much they want our dosh.

Looks like we got a debate gentlemen, no popular decision emerged.

>>19000088

Sorry, I hadn't filled in his character, this a different guy. That guy is back on Terra Nova holding down the fort, this the Jakarta's Supply Sergeant.

>>19000089
The supply sergeant is the NCOIC, not the OIC, huge difference there.

Officers are the ones who usually have the sticks up their asses(being a staff-level officer does that) but the NCO's would be less inflexible about the situation.

>>19000094 seems a good idea too though.

>>19000116

I concede to braith, say the same thing but to the sgt

>>19000116
Screw it, ask them all. I'm sure the supply sergeant knows where the stuff is and the assistants must know some good cocktail recipes.

And if that doesn't work, give them an extra day or two shore leave.

rolled 2 = 2

>>19000088
no shopping kerrigan around
but the supply sgt in charge either is the best (has the hookups) or the worst (rules lawyer) guy to go to for party supplies, and we should know which it is
1 = best 2 = worst ?

You stroll up to the supply desk and the SS walks over.

"Yeah, what do you want?" he grunts at you dropping a large box of rations on the desk.
"Hey, I'm throwing a pow wow with the team and I was looking for some standard issue entertainment. Any ideas?" You ask

"Yeah, a big circle jerk. Do you have business here or no?" He replies with a completely impassive face

>>19000148

and you don't get to roll dice anymore

>>19000175
"Listen, I can pay just tell me what I want to know. No need to make this difficult."

>>19000175
"Are you sure, Sergeant? We'd be more than happy to have your section there too."

>>19000185
was a question, and i had a 50/50!

dammit. well, somebody's smuggling somewhere

>>19000194
>>19000200

"Look jackass, I don't care what kind of money you got you're not getting any more training grenades to play Tennis with, I know it's hilarious to do to the rookies but seriously, Captain said it has to stop." He replies looking you dead in the eye

>>19000222

"Whoa whoa, calm down sarge... We're not playing tennis. Just thirsty."

>>19000222
time to leave the room and omnitext the underlings

>>19000222
Laugh. "Damn, that's a great idea. Can't believe I never thought of that. Anyway, that's not what I'm here for. I was thinking more along the lines of booze."

>>19000222
"Hang on, Sergeant, I'm not thinking that kind of party. I'm looking for supplies for a much quieter kind."

For the love of god, don't mention money until after he does. That's just in bad taste.

>>19000222

We just got promoted like a fucking war hero. He has to understand! Bring it up nice but determined and explain why you really would like to have a party with your frineds as a farwell.

>>19000247

"You're...oh...you're one of the marines. Shit, I'm sorry. You mean you're looking for liquor. Well sadly, we're kind of flying under the radar right now due to that little "incident" I'd check with Private Goldsmith on the crew deck. That's more his forte, and if you're serious about the invite we'd love to lock the deck down and join you. Where and when son?"

>>19000222
Woah - just lost a squadmate and want to give 'im a proper sendoff. Can you help?

If not, >>19000253

>>19000271
Thank him for the info, assure him we were serious, and give him the info on the party. A friend in supply is your best friend, besides maybe a techie that con modify your gear for you.

Time to go find this Private Goldsmith on the crew deck then.

>>19000271

>later in the evening, at X location

Foward relevant information if he really can hook us up. Using diplomatic words to express there isn't going to be a party if we can't find some booze.

>>19000291
>>19000292

"I'll shoot Goldsmith a text and let him know to expect you. By the way, name's Gardner, these two are Private Meredith and Alvarez, they're good guys and I'm sure they'd be happy to help you out if I'm not around. I'll catch you downstairs later on. Sorry to hear about your friend, and congrats on the promotion!" Gardner adds as you head back towards the elevator.

You head down to the Crew deck, it's rife with life and much more cozy than the Barracks Deck, you can tell it's been customized by the Jakarta's crew, they love their ship and want it to feel like a home away from home.

A scrawny looking guy with a shaved head walks up to you, "Heard you're looking for some party liquid. Name's Harry Goldsmith, and who might you be?"

>>19000343
"Sergeant Rennick. I was told you were the one to talk to about getting supplies for that."

>>19000367

"You heard right, so what are you in the market for?" He puts his arm around you, quite a stretch he's a few inches shorter and pulls you over to the elevator.

"Here's what I got"

>20 cases of Mauser Light-30 a case
>40 Cases of Benning's Best- 50 a case
>10 Cases of Buzz Aldrin's- 100 a case
>5 Case of Makarox- 150 case
>3 Bottles of Serrice Ice Brandy- 500 a bottle
>1 Drum of Ryncol- 5000 Credits

He presses the button down to hangar deck.

>>19000451
A bottle of Serrice Ice Brandy and say...10 cases of Benning's best...maybe 5 cases of Mauser Light. Comes out to...1150 credits...oh well, it's for a good cause.

Unless we decide to invite the entire ship, that should be enough

1 Serrice
2 Makarox
2 Buzz
5 Benning
5 Mauser
1350 total, amirite

Some good to start the toasting, some for once the tongue goes numb, Ice to share with Kerrigan

>>19000451

>A bottle of Serrice Ice Brandy

Fuck yeah

>2 cases of Mauser Light

For the lightfags

>4 cases of Buzz Aldrins

>3 cases of Bennings Best

(assuming 12 or 24 packs?)

I think this is enough to drink.

I vote to pay the man and Fast-Foward

That feel when you don't have enough credits for Ryncol.

>>19000511
That might be a better route. I think so far we only have, what, 2 squads plus supply coming?

>>19000498

Okay, we all agree on a bottle of Serrice.

5 mouser light
2 buzz
8 bennings
1 makarox

That should be a good revision.

>>19000498
>>19000504

"Def gonna need some Serrice, maybe even two. We need to toast a fallen comrade." You tell Goldsmith.

"I see, I'm sorry to hear that. My condolences to your squad."

You both step off the elevator and start heading towards the back of the hangar where most of the supplies are stored. He must have hidden it among the rest, probably has a deal worked out where they reserve space for him and look it over when it comes time to take stock.

Roll a D100, need to beat a 40.

rolled 50 = 50

>>19000543
Here goes nothing...

>>19000525

You could always check with Briggs

rolled 3 = 3

>>19000543

rolled 69 = 69

>>19000543

Rollan for boozehound

>>19000538
good job!
>>19000538
not bad, what's total?

>>19000549

You notice a guy running to catch up with you and Goldsmith. Goldsmith had already noticed him and was moving to intercept. You can hear him ask "Hey Goldsmith, you still got those Benning's for 30 a case? We'd like to get a couple for later tonight..." Goldsmith practically hugs the kid and starts trying to walk him away.

>>19000552
Yeah, we should check in with him before we finalize what we're getting.

Also, I need to stop rolling for a little while.

>>19000525

He gave us 500, ergo he expected 500 worth of booze to cover himself and whoever he invited.

>assumptions

So we should at least match that, if were a little over thats golden.

>>19000569
Lets get haggling!

>>19000569

Wait a minute. He's jacking us.

How do we feel, /tg/?

>>19000580
Time to get our Recettear on!

>>19000569
Either get the price down, or threaten to blow his secrecy to whoever his immediate superior is. We'll get a deal either way.

>>19000580
>>19000579

"Sorry about that, he just wanted to know if I still had the Benning's I told him you got first dibs what with the toasting your squad-mate. I'll tell you what. How about I let those Aldrin's go for 90? You seem like a good guy, and you need something better than my standard swill for something like that, eh?"

>>19000613
"80 and you've got a deal"

>>19000604
That doesn't make future transactions easier
>>19000619
I like. Or the Serrice for 400.

>>19000619

Seconded.

>>19000619

Now is that anyway to treat a friend?
It's already a steal...

>>19000613
We'll go ahead with the order from >>19000511. Make it the 2 bottles of brandy though.

>>19000647
I'll second this, is TIM isn't already writing.

>>19000644
Dunno, friend who wanted 50 for Bennings. You tell me. 90 for the Buzz and 450 for the Serrice.

>2 bottles of Serrice Ice Brandy
>2 cases of Mauser Light
>4 cases of Buzz Aldrins
>3 cases of Bennings Best

"Oh, and one more thing, I want the Brandy for 400 and the Aldrin's for 80." You say.

"Like ruddy hell, I have a business to run, why should I give you a special rate on my best stock? I already offered you a discount on the Aldrin's" He stammers out, he somehow manages to summon a serious face despite the obvious ride he's taking you on.

>>19000647
>>19000664

2 bottles of Serrice Ice Brandy
2 cases of Mauser Light
4 +2 =6 cases of Buzz Aldrins
3 cases of Bennings Best

We have a majority

>>19000675
"I could always get you an invitation to the party too."

>>19000690

GREAT idea!
Make a friend and get a good price.

>>19000675

Excellent, we go with this.

>>19000690

Seconded.

"Well, I mean -friends- get invited. But if were doing business, your right."

>>19000690

"A party? I thought you were just mourning your friend? The hell are you playing at?" he looks at you, he's getting nervous, you think he may end up calling the whole thing off if you don't pull it out of the fire.

>>19000698

ABORT BARTER

ABORT BARTER

"Nevermind. We're good."

Pay the man and go.

>>19000690
Eh. Sendoff for friend, promotion celebration... keep it (mostly) in the squad?

>>19000675
If we pay what he's currently asking, make note find out how much his markup is, see if it's worth going into competition.

>>19000698
Funeral party.

If he doesn't believe that say its a Turian custom you heard about.

>>19000698
"We're giving our friend a sendoff and celebrating the rescue of New Eden."

>>19000704
>>19000705

Its really not that complicated. We shut our mouths, pay him, and leave.

>:I

>>19000710

this!

>>19000704

"Look, I can understand that, but this is the lowest I can go. I'll do 90 on the Aldrin's and 450 on the Brandy, and just to show I'm serious take a couple extra cases of Mauser, piss water never sells anyway." Goldsmith seems pretty set on this unless you have something else to add.

>>19000710

Eden Prime*

>>19000725

We accept and have nothing more to say.

>>19000725
Sold!

>>19000725
Deal! Friend.

>>19000725


The offer sounds good. We are a first time customer, it's obvious that we have to pay more, he knows the demand of his regulars. We might invite him anyway.

>>19000754
Sure

>>19000734
Right, I get names mixed up. Need to lay off of Eve for a while.

>>19000754

ABORT ABORT!

Serice Ice Brandy what happend to 450 per bottle?

>>19000754
2 bottles of Serrice for 900!
Otherwise, yeah.

>>19000754
Shell out the cash.

>>19000770
or did we agree on 2 bottles? In this case, nothing to say here.

>>19000754

Yes. Do it.

We'll stash any leftovers for our own drinking tendancies.

>>19000774
>>19000771

Meant to put 2 bottles, that's my mistake. You pay Goldsmith.
"A pleasure doing business!" he seems to be in much higher spirits, he seems to have got away with enough to satisfy him. He'll likely be kinder in future interactions as well.

He asks you to wait here with him and a moment later a worker comes around with a fork-lift and palette containing your selection. He must have them on a system.
It looks like quite a bit to carry.

>>19000815
Send a message to the rest of the squad. We need a bit of assistance here.

>>19000824
this

>>19000815
>It looks like quite a bit to carry.
Kneejerk reactions: Delivery not included? Doesn't matter, got biotics.

Serious-ish: Snag some squadmates for portage

>>19000815
I'd suggest, using simple biotics to carry it, but with our l2 implants, we might crush them.

>>19000824

"I've got good news guys, get down here."

rolled 47 = 47

>>19000824

You message Briggs.
"Whoa, you got how much? Right on, sounds like I didn't over-do the invites then. Me, Karrigan, Emily and Harris will be down momentarily. I hope you don't mind, we let them in on the party too. What with being roomies and all it's kind of hard not to. Don't worry, they think it's still just in Rodriguez's memory, I'll let you break the news still." Briggs messages back.

A couple minutes later they're down in the hanger loading up the elevator with you to head back to the Barracks.
You resolve to hide the Brandy for now, and you didn't tell Briggs about it.

You get it loaded onto the elevator and start to head back up to the barracks.

Could somebody explain to me why we bought two Serrice? Isn't it more like "just take a sip" kind of booze? I mean 450credits more won't kill us but it seems a little bit redundant. We are only soldiers after all.

>>19000897
1 for the squad to share, 1 for us n kerrigan

>>19000897
One for toasting the fallen, one for celebrating a new beginning.

>>19000897
If we survive the n program, we'll have the second bottle with Karry.

Alone. With some Barry White.

>>19000923
Like your style.

>>19000864

As the doors open on the barracks level you bump into Roger's "Ah, Sergeant Briggs I've been looking for you sir!" Rogers addressing Briggs.

"What's going on Private?" Briggs responds

"I'm to report to you, I'm now under your command, sir." Rogers says

"That's bizarre, why aren't you rejoining the 212?" Briggs asks while carrying a couple more cases off the elevator and putting them in a neat stack by the door.

"I thought you'd heard sir, the 212 has been effectively wiped out after Eden Prime." Rogers mutters his eyes drifting to the floor.

"Jesus, I'm sorry Rogers, well you'll find a welcome home here, and if you need to talk I'm always here son. I'll make the introductions tomorrow morning if that is alright. Tonight is kind of a bad time. Though I welcome you to mingle with the squad, just don't mention you're our new number 6."

You finish off-loading the elevator and release it back to it's duties.

You stash the liquor in Briggs and Harris' quarters locking it down with the exception of the Brandy which you slip into your own quarters. You notice Haskill's gear has appeared on the other bunk but you haven't seen him since you got off the transport.

You still have a few more hours to kill.

>What would you like to do now?

>>19000923
I think you meant some Marvin Gaye.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn4i8bAfnMY

>>19000897
hmm... I don't know if it's wise to pursue a relationshop with a member of our squad. That's now a wise thing to do in a military unit, just saying. And I'm sure we don't care but it also is forbidden in the Alliance Military.

It's not really important right now but it will get important really soon.

>>19000938
Kerrigan is helping get ready for the party, so no hope of any cool tech...I vote we fast forward on to the party.

>>19000964

>>19000964
Ah, soul-crushing logic rears its ugly head. Save that 2nd bottle anyway.

>>19000938

Walk around just to make sure we haven't missed any cutscenes.

>Fast foward
>Its party time
>P. A. R. T.
>Y?

pic related

>>19000964
We can claim it was a pre-existing relationship, besides, she'll likely make Sgt by the time we get done with training anyway, especially if she can figure out that Geth stuff we gave her.

>>19000994
>>19001007

We might find someone else or start a relationshop with her after all... but after we've returned. It would just be really stupid to start something now and then leave for two or more years. I'm against this relationship anyways but atleast don't do anything stupid right now.

>>19001050
>>19000964
Let's find out what she thinks of the idea

>>19001050
i change my vote to this

Come on, let's not hop on with the first Waifu we're offered. Let's hold out for the right waifu.

>>19001053

We must follow the footsteps of our forefathers. Ask yourself, "What would Kirk or Shepherd do?"

I for one approve.

>>19001060
Obviously we would of course, my suggestion would just be the defense if someone says anything about it after the fact.

>>19001070

>we can't have both

Well, let's wait for OP and see what happens.

Eh. I like Kerry, mostly because her interests are both foreign and familiar. She loves technology but seems to be fascinated by weapons tech. Weapons that we appreciate and hold interest.

Sorry, was just enjoying the conversation, nature called, thank you smart phones.

So we're all for waiting until the party then? Maybe catching a few hours nap?

>>19001169

Naps are awesome! This may be the last one we get.

>>19001169

How is the general mood of the squad?
I'm still a little bit afraid how the party will go if the think it's only to mourn their friend and we basiclly want to throw a huge ass party. We might want to announce our promotion earlier to not get things to confusing.

>>19001169
The conversation of us arguing over Kerrigan?

I think you'd have to basically pull out a Tali or Liara clone to get us distracted anytime soon.

>>19001191

The squad is generally upbeat. You know Briggs won't let it turn into a pity party.
They miss Rodriguez but they acknowledge life must move on, the mental health of the crew towards loss is generally excellent. Besides with the way Harris and Briggs drink you think this is the best coping mechanism for them and the squad more than likely, losing themselves a little for Rodriguez's memory.

>>19001200

I think interspecies relationships are fairly uncommon. Even Asari don't like like it to much because of the huge lifespan difference.

>>19001200

1 Asari Matron milf and Quarian sexual deviant coming right up.

>>19001200

dat Tali...

>Rest up before the party?

Accept?

>>19001223
On the contrary, Asari look down on pure bloods. They view it as a limitation on genetic diversity.

>>19001211


That's what I hoped, just wanted to go sure. They're Marines after all, they can handle some dead.

>>19001243

But don't they prefer other races that have a longer life? Or am I mistaken here? I think there was a conversation like this in ME1 but I am really not sure.

>>19001233
Si senor.

>>19001223

>Even Asari don't like it to much

Have you ptalked to any of them, at all?

Its a recurring theme that its actually disgraceful for an Asari to have another Asari as a partner. They like to get around with their gene pool by taking other species.

>>19001228
What have I done?

>>19001233
Yeah, sounds good

>>19001253
It depends on the individual. They don't really worry about the end of their partners lifespan, or something. I remember Liara and Shep could have a conversation about this.

>>19001233
Accept.
>>19001228
Aria, Aethyta or Shiala. Or Parasini.

>>19001274
Well... as long as we're not cheating bastard.

>>19001284

We could make it work.

>>19001233

Accept

>>19001295
Let's not.

>>19001233

Alright, you head back to your bunk to grab a little shut-eye before the party.

Next thing you know, Briggs is in the room tapping you telling you to wake up we're getting ready to start.

You still don't think you're quite caught up on sleep but hey, it's for a good cause right?

Walking out into the Barracks main room there must be 3 dozen people there. You see Gardner and the Armory crew, Goldsmith has shown up and has already managed to get plastered on YOUR liquor. Karrigan smiles at you from across the room, even though she's in fatigues you can tell she freshened up a bit for this. Briggs stands up on the community table where you played poker and asks for everyone's attention.

"Well I've never been one for speeches, but tonight we've gathered here to celebrate a great man. His name was Lucio Rodriguez, and he was one hell of a guy. Does anyone here want to share the memories they had of Rodriguez?" Briggs asks

"I remember when he joined the unit, he was so worried about us not liking him, remember him always buying every round of drinks for like the entire first month just because he thought it was the only way for us to get to know him?" Britain says a small smile crossing his face.

"Yeah I do, and what about that time he died sarge's mohawk pink while he was passed out drunk and posted the pictures on the Extranet." Harris adds and the entire room busts into laughter. You have to admit, the thought of Briggs with a pink mohawk and there being photo evidence of it is one of the greatest things you've ever heard.

"I remember him pulling me out of the line of fire when we were on that raid back on Berkenstein for the terrorists that were trying to blow up that manufacturing plant. He got hit too but he got me out of there, he was the best squadmate a guy could ask for." Holmes says tearing up a little.

"Alright Jackal, take it easy, get over here guys.." Briggs calls them over and pops the Serrice Brandy pouring them each a glass.

"To Rodriguez!" Briggs says hoisting his glass

"TO RODRIGUEZ!!!" The crowd echoes toasting in his honor.

"It may seem like a little soon, but we also received some great news earlier today. Hey Kid, get up here!" Briggs yells waving you over.

You take your place on the table at his side.

"It seems today the kid got promoted to Sergeant and not only that but the Brass themselves noted what a badass he is and asked for him to join the N Program back on Earth! How kickass is that? We're drinking on his dime tonight so how about a big round of applause for Sergeant Geronimo!?"

The entire crowd goes nuts with cheering, the look on Wendigo and Jackal's face is priceless they cheer louder than anyone else.

"Hope everyone has a great time and keep it safe guys!" Briggs says as the crowd goes back into social mode.

"To Lucio..." Briggs mutters as he polishes off his drink and hops down off the table. He takes something out a box nearby and sits it on the table.

It looks like a picture frame. As you get close enough to have a look it's a picture of Jackal squad and in the middle is Rodriguez with his arm around Briggs with a Pink Mohawk.

"Goodbye, Rodriguez." Briggs says as he puts a hand up to his eyes and takes a seat on the sofa nearby.

>>19001338
When its our turn to make a toast.

"I am not very good at speeches but Ill do my best. I didn't get to know Rodriguez, as well as I wanted too. But he was a great man, who gave his life for us. His death will not be in vain. If its a war that the geth want, then we'll show them what humanity is capable of." Raise our glass. "To Rodriguez."

>>19001426

This was kind of a Jackal moment, sorry, cut scene power to the max.

You're free now.

>>19001491
Let's bet some brews and mingle a bit then. We'll leave Briggs to have his moment for now.

Come to think of it, make our way over to where Kerrigan is while we're at it.

>>19001491
let's go bug Kerrigan for now

>>19001520
>>19001558

"Hey Geronimo, err Sarge, sorry, still getting used to that. Looks like you did a great job pulling this party together. I don't think I ever got to congratulate you properly on the promotion and invitation." She smiles at you turning her attention back towards the party.
"It's nice to let loose a little after what we went through."

>>19001621
"We saved Eden Prime, blew up some Geth and got some fancy toys. We lost Rodriguez but we can only move forward and promise to do better next time."

>>19001621
"Just Geronimo is fine. You don't have to go all formal on me that fast.

It is nice to let loose once in a while though."

I would suggest a comparison of this to the Blitz, but it seemed a bit awkward to inject this early in the conversation.

>>19001666

"Right...so have you thought anymore about accepting the offer?" Karrigan asks you

>>19001666
>>19001621
"And yeah, it is nice to relax. I imagine this is going to be the last time, in a long time that I do get to relax."

>>19001070
>>19001162
>>19001200
>>19001231
>>19001228
have you all lost sight of the main prize? the first chance we get we find a female turian from an illustrious military family and we marry her and bring honor to our new clan.

>>19001711
I'd actually be very okay with this.

>>19001686
"I think I should do it. Part of me doesn't want to, I want to stay with the squad and take out the geth. But the other part of me knows that taking the N training will allow me to protect the people I care for." We take a look at her on that last sentence.

>>19001711
We haven't seen any Taurians yet

>>19001686
"Yeah, I've been thinking about it. I'm going to accept, and I want you to be on my team once I get through the training."

>>19001711

Turians. The aliens that have teeth that can slice us apart, that we're allergic to and vice versa, the same entities that our parents fought a bloody war against and we're not even sure if all our parts match.

I'd rather have a hot prothean babe.

>>19001711

>female turian

They have females?

>>19001753

Seconded

>>19001752
>>19001753

"First off, there's no need to call me 'Sarge', Geronimo or James is fine. Second yeah, I did and I think I'm going to accept, part of me wants to stay here with the squad. But if I take this training it will allow me to better protect the people I care about." I look to her as I say that and our eyes meet, she blushes ever so slightly,
"and I hope that when I get back you'll be on my squad."

"I'd like that, thanks James" She replies, brushing your arm.

>>19001820

"Then its settled. Though I was wondering how you guys were going to get by without me."

>On a side note, what are the chances of this happening to us?

>>19001820
The suave is strong with this one. We could mention that bottle of ice brandy back in our room...but I think we should save that line til later.

Keep a bit of smalltalk up then ask her about the Skillian Blitz and how that compared to the last operation.

>>19001806
>>19001801
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder man. If femshep and garrus can make it work, so can we.

>>19001856
"Hard to say which are worse, the Batarians or the Geth, at least the Geth mostly inflict horrors on the dead rather than the living." she replies, taking another sip of her Benning's Best.

>>19001846
Depends on how you feel about Cerberus's cybernetic implants and how cuddly you feel Kai Leng is I suppose.

>>19001860

I'm all about banging alien babes. Or even babes in general.

But this. I don't know, man.

>>19001885
"At least we got some nice footage of them getting wrecked, plus you got some new toys, as I recall."

>>19001904

I'm not sure how I feel about this...

>>19001940
Not sure if want either...they never rendered female taurians, so I can only assume they're like Quarians: they look about the same, one just has pauldrums or more war paint(I'll loet that mental image sink in for a little while)

>>19001925

"True enough." She laughs, "I sent a copy of it your tool a few minutes ago. It's a pretty excellent montage of destruction. I figure it'll be on the extranet sooner or later, classified or not."

"Won't that get you in trouble?" You ask with mild concern.

"More than likely, but probably only to a very small degree, the brass eats that shit up, one man armies, you could be the next golden boy." She says rolling her eyes at the thought of getting in trouble.

>>19001904
You want alien babes? You're gonna get one. One with strong morals, and an unbreakable sense of honor. She'll undoubtedly be as deadly on the battlefield as us. Can you imagine trying to get her father's blessing? He'd probably challenge us to a duel to first blood, our tomahawk against the ancestral family sword. We will win and it will be glorious.

>>19001987
"You almost make it sound like I did it all by myself. I couldn't have done it without you and the others."

>>19001987
i like it, it has potential

>>19001974
"Im not much for the spotlight. Every screw up would be broadcasted. What about you Karry? Ever want to step into the lime light? Get those geth shields named after you or something?"

>>19002018
erm Braith? you linked to the wrong post i think

>>19002161
...yeah I did. Time to take a quick caffine break. Be back in 5.

>>19002161
No. No he didn't.

>>19002154
>>19002018

"You almost make it sound like I did it all by myself. I couldn't have done it without you and the others. Besides, I'm not much for the spotlight. Every screw up would be broadcasted. What about you Karry? Ever want to step into the lime light? Get those geth shields named after you or something?"

"HA, THAT'S RICH!" she replies, "No, I think I would prefer a fat check though, you know, for cracking the tech and installing it into Alliance systems. Maybe retire on Berkenstein or something, you know, where all the people with entirely too much money live?" She looks to you.
"What about you, what do you wanna do? Be in the alliance till the day you die? If you charge anymore tanks that could be sooner rather than later."

>>19002241
"I don't know...I could always retire and do endorsement deals with the guys that contract guns to the Alliance."

>>19002241
"not sure, maybe after i graduate to N1 and then i'll probably think about it"

>>19002241
"Open a charter fishing business. Sails, sun, fun and decent money."

Lol, let's see if we can get a vote on this one. I'm generally curious if your character has thought that far ahead.

>>19002350
We could tell war stories to the clients! Beaches! Relaxation without waiting-to-die retirement issues! Fish don't have guns!

>>19002340
better option

>>19002241

"To have a family I guess. But I can't raise my children, knowing that someone, somewhere out there is in danger. I have a need to save them. And if I hafta charge a tank I will."

Consensus... not reached.

>>19002525
time for rolling?

>>19002533
would rather delay so we get more that 3 or 4 votes
i want something interesting, start thinking!

>>19002562
maybe a big game hunter?

>>19002562
Something interesting, eh?

We could go with the old standby of wanting to be a Council Spectre once our time is up.

This is still before it was announced that Sheapard was going to be one, so it still fits, even if it is ripping off the games worse than we already have(why fix what ain't broke though?)

>>19002525

We'll hold off and go with the most diplomatic answer.

"That's kind of what I joined the Alliance for, to get out and see the galaxy. I've always wanted to help others and this is a great way to do it. I want to know what's out there so I'll know exactly what it is I want to do. Maybe once I finish the ICT program I'll have a better idea..."
You say

"I could understand that, that's kind of why I joined the Alliance, that and the best tech is here." Karri looks to you, "Maybe we'll figure it out together."

>>19002597
"I'd like that a lot Karry."

>>19002597
I could go for that

>>19002595
thought we were talking about retiring... can't imagine spectres being anything but prime and razor thin near prime condition
but anyway, my idea on retirement is do something different

>>19002597
Now's our chance to mention we got that bottle back in our quarters

>>19d002597
"I'd like that a lot Karry."

>>19002631

I'd like that a lot Karri..." you reply.

>Proceed with Brandy offer?

>>19002664
>>19002631
hope she doesn't hear the 'y'

joking joking... editor me is totally not joking, fix that

>>19002651
Tempting, but we also just got to the party....ah screw it, bring up the bottle. Us being promoted was just a last-second add on to the party anyway, so I'm sure they won't miss us too badly.

As long as we're not ditching out on the party in the first five minutes. Ten minutes is fine.

>>19002690

>from cell phone

My vote is thinking ahead but not too far ahead. Like were obviously smart and also enough to know that theres a lot we don't know.

We'd also like to know were getting into it with someone who understands us.

We have feelings too.

Unless were in it for the bitches, and I'm totally okay with that too.

>>19002739
I'm looking at it, for the moment at least, as both being soldiers who've seen some shit, might be a bit frightened at their prospects for the future, and want reassurance.

We've been serving together for a little while and while she might not be on our level of crazy(biotic charges and all that), she does seem to have a level head on her shoulders, something to keep us in check...at least when we aren't distracting her with something shiny, that is.

"There is one more thing, I did get another bottle of Serrice Ice Brandy, it's back in my quarters, would you want to join me for a private drink?" you ask with the cool confidence you've come to expect of yourself.

"More than anything", she flips her shoulder length black hair behind her and starts walking off towards your quarters.

You get inside and shut the door pouring her a drink and yourself one as well.

"So..." she says
"So..." you reply
You meet her blue eyes as she takes a drink of Brandy.

You both finish a glass, and then another, and then she moves and kisses you as your pour a 3rd glass...

She pushes you down onto your bed, and turns the lights down with her omni-tool. Needless to say, this has been building for a long time and the release was incredible...

>fade to black
>If you're disappointed this a blue board, go to /d/

Oh, you've never seen the dark side of Omni-tools
Why are we discussing this?

Anyway.

>The next day

You awake to snickering, you already know what to expect.
As you open your eyes you see Haskill and Briggs smiling from ear to ear.

"Too drunk to remember he shared quarters?" Briggs asks Haskill

"Too drunk to remember he shared quarters..." Haskill states

There is movement under the cover.

Im againat this. With our l2 we may spike it up and end up killing or injurying someone. Lets just give them the death glare and open the door with a biotic gesture, telling them to get out, now.

rolled 12, 27 = 39

I see two rolls so...

rolled 5, 48 = 53

>>19003201
whats the worst that could happen?

rolled 35, 81 = 116

>>19003177
>>19003159

"WWHHHHOOOAAAAA" is all Briggs manages to get out
Lift successful,
>Throw?

>>19003216
>Everyone dies.
>Court marshaled.
>Spend time in prison.
>Get released years later.
>Became paragon pirate.

>>19003237
No throw!

>>19003237
Get up and manuelly push them out the door now.

>>19003237
Open door first. "Excuse me, elegant gentlemen." And more of a 'toss' than 'throw'.

Abort throw. Actually can we just turn them around while we put on clothes

rolled 100, 74 + 30 = 204

>>19003273

Need another D100

beat my roll

>>19003291
We dont want to throw though..

rolled 80, 15 = 95

>>19003291
Ouch. How many rolls?

rolled 90, 67 + 20 = 177

Never mind, dice favor the vanguards.

Haskill and Briggs flip and lock hands, there is a small biotic pulse and they both drop to the deck on their feet.

"Biotic negation. Need to work on your concentration kid. I'll give you a B+ for getting us both off the deck though." Briggs says smiling at you.
"Our turn?" Haskill looks at him and asks?
"Our turn!"

They synchronize their movements, you realize Haskill and Briggs must have been a team once, this is something they've practiced.
Beat my roll?

rolled 77, 85 = 162

>>19003345
See, when you say beat my roll and roll twice, I don't know if I should roll once or twice.

And damn your loaded dice.

rolled 13, 20 = 33

>>19003345

rolled 9, 10 = 19

>>19003345
This kind of infuriates me. Most of us didnt want to do the throwing out. But noooo....

>>19003345
>>19003379
>>19003383
>>19003402
I hope we're well endowed, because our dick is about to be flopping around in mid air.

rolled 54, 29 = 83

>>19003345
Seriously guys, I just woke up

They're working as a team, as near as you can tell Briggs and Haskill have trained to work together for Biotic maneuvers and seem to complement each other greatly. Briggs auto-successed his attempt to break your lift concentration and he pulled Haskill out of it as well.
This is pretty much the first time you've ever fought biotic opponents and you're figuring out, maybe you're not as awesome as you thought you were.

Also, unless someone else rolls insane Briggs 90 is looking like it's gonna rock the average.

Aw, it's just a little fun.
>>19003402
>>19003383
>>19003345
>>19003291
And we really need to quit rolling the dice the GM gives us

>>19003421
Way he's rolling, I'm thinking he's almost Adept level...

>>19003402

You were mostly fans of getting them out of the room though. You didn't get the chance to throw, they broke the lift.

>>19003411
Roll 1d8+2?

rolled 71, 47 = 118

>>19003462
buddah would be upset at that roll

>>19003435
I think this is the dice's way of kicking us in the balls after last time

rolled 8 + 2 = 10

>>19003480

>>19003480
Are. You. Serious.

rolled 16 + 2 = 18

>>19003480
dear god, this will not end well

>>19003502
>>19003505

Well I think we've established why Karrigan liked you so much...
And despite by best efforts this is now /d/

>>19003502
Pffahhahaha

>>19003502
Ahahahahahahaha!

>>19003506
wrong dice set
>>19003505
No, the better question to ask is >>19003502 serious

>>19003491
budda ain't the only one upset at my rolls

>>19003518
Just keep fading to black, implicit rather than explicit, keep going and try to salvage your dignity. Like Geronimo is about to.

Can't believe I've missed so many of these, awesome job so far though guys!

>>19003518
And despite by best efforts this is now /hm/

Fix'd

>>19003518
you asked for it

>>19003538

You're hit with the combined lift and go shooting butt naked to the ceiling. Karrigan is now fully awake.
>>19003502

Briggs and Haskill look at you, and then Karrigan, and back at you, and Karrigan again...

"Well I was thinking about forcing you on a stroll around the Barracks like a balloon but honestly I think it'd do more for you good than harm. I'll just leave you here and we'll be on our way, and let us never discuss again." Haskill says as he opens the door and he and Briggs walk out shutting and locking the door behind them.

>>19003597
We went from drinking with the squad to getting recalled, sent after Geth, rescued a civ, lost a comrade, threw a party in his memory, screwed our techie, and not are trying to throw a pair of biotics out our room while...okay, I'll just stop there.

>>19003518
Fuck this /d/iscussion, it's time for us to cover ourselves and sort shit out.

>>19003634
*wipes tear from eye*
Hooo...that was funny. Okay, break the biotic floaty-ness and get dressed. I guess kiss Kerry and go accept that invitation to the N program.

>>19003634
hooray! i redeemed myself!

>>19003695

>>19003670

>A few traumatizing minutes later.

Karri and you sit dressed on your bed.

"So...that happened" Karri finally says.
"I think I'm gonna go accept that offer and get the hell off this ship for a while" you reply.

"Hahahaha, I can't say I blame you, you best keep in touch ok?" Karri looks to you with those blue eyes.

"Will do, I hope they don't make it too hard on you."

"If they do, I'll just remind them they asked for it."

You kiss and part ways.

You see Briggs asking Rogers if he's seen any bleach that he can rinse his eyes out with.

>Action?

>>19003634
whats time do we have
hang out with kerri if lots scout hall for her if nots

>>19003695
Let's just leave that stat out of the bio though.

>>19003506
Couldn't have gone with this roll?

>>19003756

>Mfw you realized I'm just running FATAL in space

>>19003771

>yfw*

Breakfast!

>>19003766
We're not trying to kill our squadmate here.

>>19003743
Shoot Briggs a youmadbro? look as we walk by.

>>19003756
don't worry about it

>>19003771
>>mfw

>>19003849
Revy is a boss
Anyway, any other ideas other than breakfast?

>>19003803

You head to the mess hall, Wendigo and Jackal wave you over after you load up a plate of your favorite breakfast food, notably bacon.

"Hey! We never got a chance to thank you for the drinks man!" Stan says patting you on the back, "You ran off pretty early, but that's ok, we had a great time at your expense." Holmes, Britain and Rogers all nod in agreement.
Briggs and Haskill soon join the table, they shoot a look at you and then proceed to stare at the table with startling dedication the rest of the meal. Briggs does manage a half-hearted apology and let's you know they'll keep it on the DL, but you should be careful, the brass doesn't care for that shit.

Karrigan joins you in fresh clothes not too long after, Emily pulls her away for girl time of course, you know Karrigan didn't go back to her room and so does she.

Breakfast was great and you're stuffed. You've heard you're being relieved of planetary guard duty today as a flotilla from the 5th Fleet is coming to watch and help rebuild Eden Prime.

You know you'll need to speak with Commander Sardis about accepting the offer but you also have time to do accomplish a few other things as well.

You know Newton is still in the infirmary but Stan had mentioned at breakfast he was awake and responsive.

There's always the social game.

Or maybe something a little different.

>Next action?

>>19003892
Grits and eggs, plus some gatoraid, or whatever the equivalent is...and of course bacon.

>>19003898
Showershavenewclothes... visit Newton?

>>19003898
Let's go check on Newton and make sure he's okay, and then say our good byes to the squad and announce our decision and all that.
Basically >>19003945 + say goodbye to people.

>>19003898
there's always S.T.A.L.K.I.N. the crew, and by crew i mean our squad or Jackal squad

>>19003898
Finish breakfast. Bro it up with the team. Go visit Newton. Then we accept the offer.

>>19007771

Gentlemen. I believe we've just been trolled.

10/10 would play fatal again

>>19003945
>>19003971

You do so, you're fit and ready for a new day.

Hang out with who?
Or another action?

>>19003982

http://1d4chan.org/wiki/FATAL

This isn't Fatal, I never had you roll your max anal circumference

>>19003993
I'd say go find the rest of the squad. At least find Kerrigan and Hui

Time to officially accept N training.

>>19004068
>>19004074

You find them chilling in the common area on the sofa Briggs took to last night. Emily smiles at you and you can't help but wonder if she knows...

"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" you ask taking a seat opposite them on the other couch.

"Girl stuff, you wouldn't understand..." Emily replies, suppressing a giggle

"Sounds interesting..." you reply.

Karrigan cocks her eyebrow at you

>What do you wanna do/say

Find out if there's any leave available before starting N training, see if there's opportunity to hang out?

>>19004115
Inform them(mostly for Emily's sake) that you're going to be accepting the offer to join the N1 program and will likely be leaving soon.

Which reminds me, we did accept the offer, didn't we?

>>19004169
Not yet.

>>19004115
Let them both know they're welcome back to your quarters anytime

>>19004169
implied we did when TIM referenced
>>19003971


...last post from me probably until next time. Great session, TIM, see you 'round

>>19004189
and you make me a liar. Very no.

>>19004169
>>19004164

Sorry, no leave available right now. Hell you're surprised enough they're accepting N candidates right now with the situation the way it is.

"I'm going to accept the offer and head back to Earth for training." you tell them.
Karrigan smiles, knowing you're making the right decision, Emily nods and replies "You're a good fit for it, and we'll be here when you get back. You go rock their faces off, show them how the 190 does things! In the meantime me and Karri will keep working on that Geth tech and see if we can't have it solved by the time you get back."

>Action

>>19004219
"Save me one of those fancy shmancy oscillating shields. Hey, if I talk through one of those shields will my voice sound all robotic?"

>>19004219
Notify the commander and captain of our intentions and get some exercise in, maybe get some biotic tips from a sober briggs.

>>19004195
I'm probably about to leave too. It's almost 1:40 and I have to be awake in 4 more hours.

This much fun is worth the sleep loss though.

Can someone do me a favor and email me the next thread? That way I can look it up in the morning.

>>19004252

Sure if I remember.

I'm making dinner, and I'll be around for most of the night.

Though TIM has been going for almost 10 hours straight.

Vote if you love Karrigan, or Briggs, or the Dice God's when it comes to rolling ANYTHING for Vanguards.

You head off and go find Briggs. He's back in his room reading.
"Hey Briggs, how about that training?" you ask putting on your best diplomatic face.

"Eh...sure why not, let's head down to the Hangar, we'll have the most space there..." Briggs says hopping out of bed and for the elevator.

"The squad was receptive of Roger's thanks to the party, he was quite a hit, I think he'll do just fine. Still he's no Rodriguez. So...you and Karrigan eh? I could see that, she's a good balance for you."

He presses the button for hangar deck.

>Ride in silence
>Say something

>>19004429
"Yah, kinda been building up for a while. We've known each other for...I guess (Length of time) now."

>>19004412

Noted, I wish /tg/ had a higher bump limit. But I run very long quests compared to most people though.
We'll probably call it a night once we tell Commander Sardis of our decision.

>>19004429
"you think so?"

>>19004429

>Still he's no Rodriguez

"Come on, you're the last person who should be saying that. You can't compare people. I'm sure he'll find his time to shine."

>So...you and Karrigan eh?

"Yeah. Theres a lot of things on my mind, but, she really brings it all back down to earth you know?"

"I know, but it's the truth, Roger's is a great guy in his own way, but you can never replace anyone. They are the only person like them anywhere. Who's to say it's not my fault he's dead, what if we hadn't split up and went in together. We likely could have taken the ambush that separated their squad." Briggs looks at the deck

"We also may have ran into those husks in a much worse location and none of us made it out. You're letting regret rule you Briggs, you did the best you could with the information available." you reply to Briggs.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." He says looking a little better.

"Yeah, me and Karrigan have known each other almost a year now. I've liked her since we first met but I never really acted on it till now, nothing like bullrushing a tank to make you wanna grab a life by the balls eh? Theres a lot of things on my mind, but, she really brings it all back down to earth you know?" You confide in Briggs.

"Yeah, I feel you, I got a lady like that back home on Terra Nova."

The elevator pings and releases you onto the Hangar deck.

"Alright, let's get to work, first things first though, do you have any questions about biotics? I'm not sure what kind of training you had previously, Haskill said it was rather minor though. You weren't a part of BAT like we were."

>>19004644

BATT* My bad

>>19004644

Or, maybe I'm wrong yet, goddamn you memory.

HERE THIS IS WHAT I MEAN HE IS A PART OF. FUCK!!!
http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Biotic_Acclimation_and_Temperance_Training

>>19004644

>I'm not sure what kind of training you had previously

"Just basic. I throw myself at things until they go away. You guys L2's also?"

>>19004832

"Yeah, we're L2's. The upgrade is dangerous and the L2 has some addtional output from being a true integrated system rather than a 'snap-on'. Problem is Haskill get's nosebleed and I get migraines like a bitch. What about you?"

>>19004874
Usually just migraines. Lemme tell you, after that mission planet-side I wanted to sleep for days my head was pounding so hard.

>>19004926

"I'll bet, you're not used to the strain of combat biotics. But hopefully between this and the ICT training you'll be ready to help us kick ass day after day. Now, what biotic skill do you wanna focus on?"

>Choose a power

>>19004982
Hmmm...I guess just go with charge?

>>19004982
Definitely charge!

>>19005011

Waiting for further input...
think we've been autosage'd out of existence.

>>19005011
>>19005054

Charge it is.

Briggs walks a few meters across the deck.

He turns around to face you and swells his Biotic barrier and plants his feet into the bulkhead.
"ALRIGHT KID I WANT YOU TO HIT ME AS HARD AS YOU CAN!"

Roll a d100?

rolled 26 = 26

>>19005107

YES SIR

rolled 81 + 15 = 96

>>19005141

rolled 54 + 15 = 69

>>19005141
>>19005166

You bounce harmlessly off Brigg's barrier and land on your ass.

"Dammit son, stop holding, back, I know you can do better, I saw what you did to that tank. Now get off your ass and hit me!" Briggs yells at you.

Make another d100 roll and add 10

rolled 56 = 56

>>19005188
DICE DON'T FAIL ME NOW!

rolled 71 + 10 = 81

>>19005188
got it sir

rolled 38 + 15 = 53

>>19005209
>>19005212

You get closer this time.

Briggs is rocked on his heels, but his barrier holds.

"Is that the best you got? I'm gonna have to go Harris, see if he can do any better, maybe he'd rather be sergeant since he doesn't hit like a bitch."

roll another and add 20
