But we're already off the planet. We're on a space ship in orbit.

no thanks

>>21614632
What we should do is METAL GEAR!

>>21614632
You're early.

Yeah. As I recall, we were going to ask the Crusade if they had anything that could drag spirits out of the Crystal. Is that the plan still guys?

Who else do we have left to find? Are we trying to find Gondegal's essence to see IF he wants to come back / if it's even possible to bring him back? After this, I think we should leave the rest to the Crusade. We literally have so much other shit to do. We don't have the time and resources to do more than try and Deus Ex Machina this world back to order with the purified Crystal.

>>21615017
Oh you.

>>21614632
Okay, we've got to try to get some of our people back.

Gondegal and the Avatar.
Vitun, cast a Miracle to see if Desna can help accelerate the Avatar's healing.

Then we get Vitun, Aeshma, Egon, Tosh, Cheryl, Okku, Elaine, the Psions, and the Guru's together and see if we can rescue Gondegal.
We have Motoko's sword in Containment so we might be able to get some trace readings on the energies used to banish Gondegal.

>>21615064
Let's spend some 9th level spell slots and wake up Fujin and Seifer. We can put Fujin in one of those SUE Cure Bacta tanks and see if the shit does anything.

We've also got to do this shit to Ayane, Lulu, Rikku and whatever other corpses we grabbed.

>>21615064
The Crusade said that they would lend us some exorcists for purifying the crystal.
According to the Solars, it's a dangerous operation, so we shouldn't rush into it.

We should let the Crusade's exorcists take a look at the Crystal, let them analyze it a bit, then we can start getting a better plan together.

One thing we may want to do if we're going to be here is to skip forward a day so Vitun and our other spellcasters can rest. Exorcising the crystal may trigger another boss battle and honestly, our spellcasters are almost out of spells.

>>21615130
if we're waiting a day, we can use the last of today's spells to start more testing into the SUE cure.

>>21615107
First, we've got two other things those 9th level slots need to be used on first.
Second, the tanks aren't even done yet.
Seifer and Fuujin can wait because they're already dead. The Avatar and the quickly dispersing Gondegal can't.

>>21615146
How about "Fuck No" and we use the spell slots to try to get two of our Heroes saved.

>>21615149
Do you know how a bacta tank works? Or are you stupid? It's a tank, that you suspend the subject in and fill with fluid. IT'S NOT FUCKING ROCKET SCIENCE!

Second, the Avatar is fine. He's just resting. Gondegal isn't dispersing, he's gone. The sword fucking exorcised him something fierce. As in "Poof! Now you're at rest."

>>21615172
I'm just going to assume you're a fucking idiot and leave it at that.

>>21615130
We may need the day simply to have our specialists come up with a way of communicating with the souls in the crystal and getting them to turn over Tranquility.
Fortunately the Crusade sent over exorcists to help us with whatever ritual will be needed to purify the Crystal.

Also we need that time for the planetary scan for Juraian DNA to finish.

It's worth noting that you don't even have the crystal yet.

One thing we will need to do is have Vitun talk to the Solars about how long they're willing to stay. Depending on what they want for payment, they could help us True Rez the next day. Each one can cast four Lvl 9 spells but don't have it memorized by default.

Desna will now take items of power instead of diamonds for resurrections. She may ask for a specific boon or task instead, depending on who is to be returned.

Well, I suppose she just found out about the Diamond Monopolies and why they were overvalued. I hope she likes the dress we ordered for her at least.

>>21615392
She will send a vision to Vitun detailing the service she will need of specific members of your forces.

Where are our looter teams.

We need to loot the DeBeers vaults and other places of their holdings/diamonds.

She still is accepting them for resurrections, right?

>>21615354
What is it going to cost to Resurrect White Mage Squad B?

And how long were you waiting for us to try a Miracle or True Resurrection so you could spring this on us?

>>21615354
What? That's not how it works. If it was, we'd have no adventuring parties getting true rez'd every 15 minutes.

The diamonds are a material component that are used as a focus for the spell. They aren't Poof'd to Desna, they are literally destroyed by the magical energies released in the casting. She doesn't actually intervene in the casting of a spell aside from Miracle, and even then there are a few things that are auto-done unless it's shit that goes against her alignment.

Last we left the Crusade, they were expressing confusion at the Transpace Guard method of 'preserve the canon, remove reality distortions'.
Should we tell them that we recently discovered that many of the reports that formed the basis of this doctrine appear to have been forged by nefarious elements within central command?
I don't really see any reason to keep it secret, aside from it kind of making us look stupid.
But I'm pretty sure we conveyed that relatively speaking, this Task Force barely graduated out of rookie-dom?

>>21615460
High Level Divine spells are given by the gods directly. In the case of True Resurrection, the diamonds are used to have the god grab the soul from the world it was sent to and bring it back without damage.

If she wants a different focus, that's her choice. Remember. Clerics have one nasty weakness. ALL OF THEIR POWER COMES FROM THEIR GOD.

>>21615460
Bro, Desna says no diamonds for Miracles, then no diamonds for Miracles. (Besides, DM call.) She kinda gets to make the rules for what she wants in exchange for certain things. Deific privilege.

No one said anything about no diamonds for True Rez. The spells are totally different. Chill.

But yeah. Let's move on to other things.

>>21615374
Okay, so, who should we test our new SUE-Cure Bacta Tank on? Also, should we revive them before or after putting them in there? If the former, we're going to need heavy duty constraints and/or sedatives for probably any of them.

>>21615537
Whoops, used the wrong name. Sorry about that.

>>21615537

Not if we raise Fuujin. She was able to control herself rather well and if we tell her we'll bring back Seifer too.

I think bringing Seifer back first would result in him killing himself by attacking us again. He might relent if he sees a cured Fuujin.

>>21615289
I think we're going to have to give up on Gondegal. Let's leave him at peace. Maybe we should just send him a message somehow, saying that the mission was a success, and we thank him for all the time he spent helping us.

>>21615581
Sounds like a plan, but we don't know how well this is going to work. Maybe we should try it out on somebody else first? Just in case.

>>21615590
Yeah that sounds good.
He wasn't obliterated, but merely sent to the underworld, and I'd say he's virtuous enough to have secured a good place for himself.
So give him a hearty thank you and wish him a happy eternity.

Just so for the others to know, our irc is #tgquest at rizon.net .

>>21615442
Build a church to Desna near the spot where they fell. One of the White Mages must stay behind as its caretaker/preacher for five years.

>>21615526
Actually I did say resurrections. I was under the impression that the diamonds were an offering, and can find no contradicting statement in the spell description. If the diamonds are clearly stated as a focus and not an offering... then you're going to have to use the diamonds in addition to the offering.

>>21615698
You still haven't answered how long you were waiting for the inevitable low roll to screw us when it came to using a Miracle or True Resurrection.

>>21615698

Uh... wouldn't that breach TG policy to do such a thing? I mean, there's a high chance that the White Mage can work as a TG operative in that canon as an operative and get dismissed as a crazy person hawking a similarly crazy religion, but that might not fly with certain people.

>>21615698
That's not how D&D magic works though.

>>21615698
Well, it seems fair, but there is the issue of the White Mages themselves. They might not want to stay behind.

>>21615797
God says rules for Divine Magic changes. She gives us the Divine magic, we have no choice.

>>21615514
Actually that's not true. You can be cleric of a cause, in which case the spells are still given and you can still true resurrect with no additional offering given to any deity who intervenes.

>>21615828
Yes, but ours is of a specific god. Not a concept, and unless Vitun wants to abandon his faith, it's not going to change.

>>21615824
Except that's stupid and throws everything out of whack. If shit randomly starts changing, what's the point of having shit from various canons? I mean, why not start changing how Super Star Destroyers work. Maybe they're powered by Love Fluff and Farts now, so too bad, your current engine is useless.

We can have the Starfleet Ships powered by four dudes blowing into a tube!

>>21615698

Oh... Oh dear.

Other more knowledgable tg brethren, are there any other spells from other canons we can use?

Or can we find a different canon's desna?

>>21615794
Given how messed up this place is already, it's a bit of a gray area.

>>21615853
Actually, according to Spelljammer lore, spells are given by the deity with the closest portfolio to the one you worship if the one you worship doesn't exist there/outside the sphere. They also ask for no additional offerings.

Suddenly asking one of her most devout followers for MORE is not the action of a Good or even a Neutral Deity. She is not the Goddess of Greed and Consumption, that would be Tiamat's portfolio.

>>21615908
And considering the Diamonds are supposed to be worth 25,000 gold, and the average value of a gold coin is 2500 dollars.

Well. Do the math.

>>21615931
All deities require that though. That is the basic material focus for the True Resurrection Spell. A diamond or diamonds worth 25,000 Gold. And it depends on the world you're on, if it's a world high in gold but low in say iron, suddenly Iron is worth 2500 dollars.

>>21615908
You say devout, but what has Vitun done lately? Has he preached the word of Desna, or done something in her favor? Or has he constantly had running laps between the underworld and the materium, pulling miracles and rezzes left and right? Just saying, gods have needs too.

>>21615892

Hypothetically speaking....

Would it help to mention that we're fighting against threats that can overpower or corrupt gods if the conditions are right, and that by doing this she is hampering one of this sector's best hopes of recovering? And given SHODAN's ambitions, that could literally shake or rewrite the whole of reality?

I can understand why she's upping the ante on resurrections, since you don't want miracles and resurrections to become commonplace and thus not become miraculous at all. But putting restrictions on this type of action may have some blowback.

>>21615698
>building a church
I don't see any way around this.
I suggest we contact the Crusade and get their okay to build a church there in Tokyo. I don't see them complaining much, and we really need those White Mages.

Ask Lazarus if he can add some nanites from the Reconstruction Tanks to the SUE-Cure Bacta Tank to allow the bacta to also reboot a person's brain. Bacta itself can't but the nanites of the Reconstruction Tanks can.

Since we can't use magic to bring the infected back, we'll need to use our science and technology.

>>21615698
>>21615892
>>21615931
>>21615970

Whichever the case, we should see if the Crusade is OK with us doing such an action. And also seeing which of the White Mages would be OK with being a preacher of Desna for five years. And seeing if we can negotiate the terms of preaching to ensure that the White Mage won't be labeled as a benevolent but kinda crazy cultist by the local populace.

>>21616077
>benevolent but kinda crazy cultist by the local populace.
Actually, since the church would be built in Tokyo, and Japan apparently hasn't changed culturally much (besides Chaosbringer's influence), if the culture is restored, then the White Mage will actually fit right in.
I mean, she could just dress up as a miko priestess, have a Universal Translator implant to speak Japanese, the church is designed with a Shinto aesthetic, and she could get herself registered with the National Shinto Shrine Registry and no one would even blink.

>>21616112

We may also need to see if the local deities would be alright with a shrine of a rival and very foreign goddess being built right under their noses. The more practical or level-headed ones would probably let it slide, but since there may be Roman/Greek gods that exist locally in this canon, that's not necessarily a guarantee here. The White Mage's tenure will likely begin after everything in this sector is settled and safe, but I don't want to send him or her to a five-year job where he or she will have to watch his/her back for backlash from local spirits or gods.

In regards to reviving our troops, I need to bring this up:
All of White Mage Squad B was injected with RED-2-GENERIC. Their minds should be backed up and they can either wait a few hours for the nanites to resuscitate them, or they can have a dip in the Reconstruction Tanks to be revived in an hour, or the Magic Cryokit that Lazarus has.

The same is true of the Abjurers, Psions, and Aurors.

As for the other troops, they were all equipped with EBO Cortical Stacks, and they can be revived and repaired in a Reconstruction Tank in anywhere from 1 to 3 hours, or the Magic Cryokit in 2 hours.

>>21616252
I think the Japanese Pantheon would be okay with it, really. Chaosbringer was a Greek god stomping all over their turf, and made worship of Gaea a state religion, effectively stamping out Shinto.
I think it'll be more like "You're part of the group that kicked that little shit's ass? Welcome to the Pantheon!"

>>21616258

White Mage squad B's remains were obliterated during one of Ultimecia's attacks. That's why we're doing this resurrection business. I'm not sure if they had EBO Cortical Stacks "equipped", however.

>>21616037
You're asking if the goddess of luck wants to take a chance?

File: 1353119437293.gif-(1.83 MB, 350x262, whenindoubtteleportout.gif)

>>21615908
That's odd, I recall reading a Krynn supplement saying that clerics of other gods there were SOL because the pantheon wasn't going to do squat for them until they converted.

>>21615828
This actually is evidence of diamonds of spell focus rather than offering, and a good point.

>>21616037
Another good point.

Since there have been some good points made and I'd prefer not to get bogged down in this sort of thing, I'll rescind the offering change for True Resurrection. Desna still wants a chuch built, but the White Mage doesn't have to staff it. Someone pointed out it was odd for a travel goddess to make someone stay in one spot.

>>21616315
We'll build the church. We'll also do her quests when we get to her native canon.

>>21616315
Alright, so, what's the reason that we can't wait for the RED-2 to work on White Mage Squad B?

>>21616395
because they're dust? At least, most of them are.

>>21616315

Alrighty.

D&D deities *DO* get power from worship. Desna probably just didn't want to get taken for granted. Perhaps Vitun can go see if there are crew members who wouldn't be averse to taking up the religion of a deity that has literally saved their lives and/or brought them back to life. Space Marines/Imperium of Man members excepted, of course.

>>21616424
I just want confirmation from the OP first.

>>21616366
That works.

Moving onto other matters, the Crusade doesn't have a problem with you guys building a Church to Desna here, and are you going to let their Exorcists have a look at the Crystal?

The Juraian DNA scan locates a large number of Ryoko's offsping slain around a palace in the mountains of Japan. Ryoko is among them.

>>21616433
And convert that floor of the AUH to worship of her. Holographic butterflies everywhere!

>>21616448

I am going to tentatively and cautiously and guardedly agree to the Crusade's paranormal experts taking a look at the crystal. Also for recovering the remains of Ryoko and performing scans on the palace to see what she was guarding.

>>21616448
Tenchi must have gotten to them. Is there any unusual energy in that area of Japan?

And yeah, I don't mind Vitun preaching. Hell, we all appreciate Desna ALOT. Hell, I pray to her every thread for not-shit rolls.

>>21616440
They're dust. If the bodies were intact, we'd dunk 'em in the tanks and not be having this whole argument.

>>21616433
That might help.

'Course if you guys keep spamming True Res, Pharasma might get peeved...

>>21616448
>Ryoko and her kids
Get them. All of them. Throw them into any nannybags and stasis pods we have open.

Have Lazarus examine them to see if any of them are recoverable via our advanced technology.

Put them into Reconstruction Tanks if we need the space.
The RED-2 on the Spellcasters should revive them in an hour, and then they'll just need another injection.

>exorcists
Yes, allow the Crusade's specialists to examine the Crystal.
Also have Vitun and Aeshma examine it alongside them.
And Egon and the Gurus.

The Crusade reports back that its Exorcists have managed to prepare a ritual that would allow six people to enter the crystal and confront Tranquility, and also significantly empower them. They have also included in the ritual a way to harness the Crystal's power once purified to restore this world to its former glory. They propose that three of their most skilled Exorcists enter the Crystal alongside whoever three you choose.

>>21616680
Can we at least wait till the next day to cleanse the crystal. Our guys are tired and need to get their spells back.

I'd guess Cheryl, Vitun, and Avatar if he's recuperated. Otherwise Darius.

>>21616680

I forget; is Tranquility one of those abhorrent SUE-creations, or is it a supernatural entity/deity that was corrupted or otherwise subverted to do bad stuff?

In either case, let's ask the Crusade what their Exorcists can offer. We want to pick heroes that would complement their strengths and/or cover any weaknesses they may have. They don't need to mention anything explicitly confidential, but a summary would be nice.

>>21616680
I suggest Cheryl, Vitun, and Okku. But tomorrow, since they need the rest.

In addition to what's happening in Medical and Containment:

Mustadio, Guru's, and Techno-Wizards, begin work on the new set of magitek guns (Project 0 of the Current Engineering Projects Queue, To-Do List).

Data, begin work on the ART Specs, and the Borg-derived Nanite Assimilation Network Tap.

Hercules, land in Carlin, Nevada for resourcing operations and to mine for natural gold to be paid to Syphie when we next meet her.

Have our Hiigaran Decoy Fleet rendezvous with the rest of the task force.

Have the Spirit continue sending resources back to the task force to supply our repairs.

Engineering Team, begin repairing and replacing all of the equipment lost by the Breakout Team during Operation Jailbreak.

Finally, can Dr. Cossack examine Washu's Lab and see if we can take it with us? If it can be repaired and made usable.

>>21616764
SUE-creation. She's the one that convinced a majority of the former Queens inhabiting the Millennium Crystal to go along with Chaosbringer's plot.

>>21616582
Let's get them appropriately preserved or revived, as we can. Make sure to keep them unconscious until we can have the Aurors and Tosh get rid of their brainwashing and give them personalities that aren't slaves to Ryoko, Washu, and Chaosbringer.

>>21616680
>>21616582
Oh, right, have Vitun and Aeshma cast Gentle Repose on as many of the dead as they can, which should be 12. That should help make it easier to revive them later, if we can't get to them right now.

>>21616917
Vitun can cast 7. Aeshma 5, and each Abjurer except Otikas can cast 5 each.

>>21616965
Ah, but the Abjurers aren't up and about yet, are they?
And we need to get as many Gentle Reposed so that they can be later revived either via technology or magic, before information death sets in.

MetaOP, quick question:
Does RED-2 get rid of the timer limit that Final Fantasy Tactics Raises have? Since the user will revive on their own given a few hours?

Also, does Gentle Repose do the same, get rid of the timer limit?

>>21616758
The next day is fine.

>>21616764
The Crusade's Exorcists are magic users that specialize in warding and fighting spirits. As such, they have a variety of spells that target incorporeal beings and undead.

Then that means that the Abjurers, Aurors, and Psions can be Raised by Elaine, Lyla, and White Mage Squad A.

Oh, and Ryoko needs to be put in stasis and Containment, since she needs to be cured.

>>21617142
Speaking of cured, let's get Fujin into a reconstruction tank, get her fixed up but have it keep her unconcious. Then we'll move her into the SUE Cure bacta tank or something.

In addition, have Lazarus take Fujin out of Containment, and put her in a Reconstruction Tank. Lazarus is to program the tank to ONLY repair the absolutely fatal injuries, reboot her brain, and keep her in a chemically induced coma.

Once she's breathing on her own again, transfer her to the SUE-Cure Bacta Tank to see if it has any effect.
Make sure that the full SCP Team is there, with Reality Disruptor Rifles.

"I am Senior Exorcist Mave Steward. I wish our meeting could've been under better circumstances. Are you prepared?" the leader asks. Cheryl nods.

"Anything to put this planet behind me," she says.

"When you are ready, we can begin," Vitun gravely says. Okku merely growls his assent.

In a few moments the six take their positions around the crystal and begin a long, laborious chant. Cheryl boosting the magical powers of all present...

>>21617897
We should totally record that ritual circle and give it to the TSAB as a "Thanks for keeping New Chaos and the Void Engineers busy for us" gift.

>>21618014
Ask politely for it first, of course. Don't want to upset our new friends with their 4 million strong fleet.

>>21617897
The six plummet into a formless, prismatic expanse, the ritual energy traveling with them and lashing out into the depths of that colorful abyss. A pain-filled shriek rends the air as the lasso of magical energy pulls back a graceful, elegant woman with platinum hair in a diaphanous white dress with many jewels. Before she even has a chance to speak, the Exorcists chant in unison, unleashing three walls of blue-white fire that move over the former Queen, burning her badly. Cheryl follows up with her own attack, balling her fists and glaring at the woman as the fabric of reality rips and tears around her, a Focused Blowout. The attack rends the very soul of the ghost, not to mention its incorporeal form. Limbs are broken and bent as Tranquility grits her teeth and wills them back into place, rapidly healing herself.

Okku doesn't give her a chance to complete, bounding over to her and sinking his teeth into her neck. The healing ceases as Tranquility sputters and gasps.

>>21618084
Okay, I'm very glad Okku is here. Sorry Lyla.

>>21618084
So Vitun finishes her off? Maybe hitting her with an Implosion spell?

What shall we do with the other Queens here?

>>21618160
More likely <Soul Bind>.

Then, the Crusade can try her for her crimes.

>>21618181
Sure, let's go with that.
I want this bitch taken care of.
>mf at Tranquility

>>21618084
The Exorcists don't give her time to recover, summoning focused beams of the fire this time, directing them at the fallen Queen. As the beams begin to burn her away, her form flickers and begins to fade. Okku continues to maul and claw her as Cheryl shakes her head.

"Say goodnight, you crazy bitch," she murmurs, summoning one last blast of primal energy that is enough to tear the foe apart.

The formless expanse begins to shimmer silver.

"The ritual is acting to purify the crystal," one of the Exorcists explains. "This would be the time to leave. We do not belong here, and our presence may upset the restoration process. Everyone join hands, we must leave as we came."

Vitun nods, extending his hand. "Come friends, let us leave this place."

"Good riddance," Cheryl says, taking Vitun's hand and laying her own on Okku's furry neck.

"She tasted terrible," Okku complains as the Exorcists complete the circle.

A minute later, Okku, Cheryl, and Vitun tumble onto the bridge of the All Under Heaven. The planet beneath the ship begins to shine brilliantly as a sparkling silver crystal appears in front of the Command Crew, projecting the ghostly image of a crowd of women. A conference of Moon-Queens.

>>21618181
I agree. Let her face justice.

>>21618249
"Well, your Majesties, I hope that the damage to the planet and the civilian populace wasn't too irrevocable."

>>21618249
The shimmering ghostly form of one smiles at you.

"You have purged the traitorous Tranquility from our ranks and the dark god she so loved," she says. "Not only that, but the ritual your friends have performed has sapped the strength of her supporters within the crystal and allowed us to cleanse it of taint. Our world will be wounded, but it will live after our ministrations. Sadly... I must ask yet more of you. Please give to us the bodies of the Senshi you have protected beyond the barrier we cannot cross."

>>21618249
Sorry we had to kill the Sailor Scouts...Again. We hope you can revive them...Again.

Rolled 2

>>21618301

Do it.

>>21618301
might as well let them purify them so they can have their jobs back.

>>21618301
Yeah, we can totally give you the senshi bodies. You need any of the others or can we totally keep those? Also, we don't have Pluto, she kinda went splat.

>>21618301
"Oh...well...see...there's a slight jurisdictional dispute about that. We'd be happy to comply, but the Great Crusade wishes to press charges and prosecute them for crimes. If you can help convince Admiral Veleth that their actions were not their own, we'd be happy to release the remains of the Senshi to you."

>>21618301
Missing or obliterated limbs arent a problem right? We protected them, but, they are not really all there.

>>21618301
"Of course. Do we simply need to hand them to you, or is another ritual required?"

>>21618341
Oh...that is a problem, isn't it.

>>21618336
"We only need the bodies of the Senshi."

>>21618341
"But there is no time! The Restoration is begun, we only have a few minutes!"

>>21618358
Yeah, the 4 million ships surrounding us that want those bodies turned over to THEM first.
We gotta diplomance the Admiral.

>>21618364
Fuck it, the Crusade can arrest them when they're alive.

>>21618364

Prepare the bodies for transport, and very quickly contact Velen. Tell him that the crystal is purified and the Queens that can restore this world *need* the bodies of the Senshi within a few minutes or presumably the restoration will go wrong.

>>21618364
"I'm going to regret this. I know I am.
"SCP Squad, bring the bodies of the Sailor Senshi to the bridge, full containment protocol."

Guys, I really think we should open a channel NOW to Admiral Veleth and tell him what's going on.

Also, aren't the exorcists saying anything about this? They're essentially letting these criminals (in the eyes of the Crusade) go without a challenge?

>>21618364
Message the Crusade Admiral: Massive Deus ex Machina incoming.

Then give the crystal spirits the bodies.

Let them face trial after they're purified.

Just send a heads up to the Crusade that they are being "cleansed"

>>21618364
Okay, we'll just say that there was only this one chance. Try to restore their innocence, remove memories, ANYTHING that will not get them executed.

We have come to consensus.

SCP Squad gets the bodies of the Senshi brought to the Queens.
A comm officer opens a channel to the Great Crusade and tell Admiral Veleth what's going on.

The bodies are brought forward and the ghostly queen smiles. The bodies vanish and the planet below seems to shine brighter.

"It is done. They return to the cycle of reincarnation," the queen states. She smiles. "And for all your work, I will gift you something that should help you in the battle to come." She closes her eyes and there is a flash of light. Then she begins to fade from sight.

"Admiral Veleth is on comms sir," one of your officers states. "Putting him onscreen now."

>>21618502

"So, Admiral, minor hiccup. Good news is, we've destroyed Tranquility and the Queens are going to heal the world. Odd news is, they also somehow managed to take the Senshi, purify them, and return them to the cycle of reincarnation."

"I'd call it a wash."

>>21618502
Well...fuck.

>>21618502
"I got your message. I would've preferred to have a little more warning, but if it would interfere with the restoration, then so be it. You will, of course, hand over the other bodies, though," Admiral Veleth says.

>>21618542
Fair enough, but be have one in the middle of testing. We have a compound that we hope will remove the taint of the SUE, but we're not quite sure. We're soaking the body in it.

>>21618542
I thought we were past that and we could keep them since you only wanted them to revive and uncorrupt them which is what we're doing.

>>21618542
"Of course, in due time. We've actually begun the first step of our new treatment. Would you care to look at the preliminary results?"

>>21618569
Seconded.

>>21618569
"I would."

One of your crew sends over the information and he looks it over.

"Promising, for a start," he pronounces, after reading it. "Would you be willing to transmit the technical specifications for this solution?"

>>21618619
"Yes.
"If you wish, we could discuss trading certain specifications and technologies."

I'm willing to give away the SUE-Cure, and trade the Aglaophotis research.

Also, we need to call up the TSAB. Should we do it now, or after we leave this Canon? The Crusade might be able to trace the call to the TSAB base.

Sure, the SUE cure should be known to as many people as possible.

>>21618648
and we should attempt to contact yellowman again while we have time.

>>21618619
Sure. We're all in this together, after all.

>>21618648
Yeah, medical information isn't something they could really hurt us with. And the SUE-Cure can more spread out this way. I recommend contacting TSAB /after/ we leave. After all, the Crusade may be friendly but we have to be sure of secure communications.

>>21618658
>>21618657
>>21618648
"Thank you," the Admiral says as his techs confirm the transmission. "How long did you want to keep the lieutenants for testing, and what left is there for you to do here?"

>>21618816
>how long to keep the lieutenants
"Quite possibly a week, at minimum, to treat all of them. As for us to do here, we owe a goddess a favor, so we need to build a church. Should be done very quickly."

Since Yami wants to leave, I think we should let him leave to the Crusade now.

While we discuss with the Admiral on what to trade, and what's going to happen to the SUE-Corrupted in our custody, let's get some stuff done.

MetaOP, can we please get started on the following, once the restoration is completed:

A 24-Hologram strong crew of Emergency Hologram Engineers and Vitun to beam down to Tokyo and build that church for Desna. Preferable if they can make it look like a Shinto shrine to not stand out. To be staffed by an Emergency Medical Hologram programmed with the scriptures of Desna and her teachings. Replicate a suitcase full of platinum bars as seed money for the EMH/Priest.
Dedicate Al'Kesh 1 and the Industrial Replicator aboard the Relentless for this task.

Dr. Cossack, can you see if Washu's Lab can be taken with us in any way. It was capable of Meta-Transit, it should be possible.

Dr. Mordin, please keep an eye on the progress of the SUE-Cure on Fujin, to allow Dr. Lazarus to analyze Ryoko's progeny.
Dr. Lazarus, we need to find a way to reprogram them, rewrite their memories and personalities. I know what the Magic Cryokit, and you, are capable of. I trust the task is within your capabilities.

And the other projects from >>21616777

Also, I think now would be a good time to send the Looter Team out, and tell them to rendezvous with us back at Sector HQ. We'll send HQ our location if we're not done somewhere.
I think we should first send them to Star Wars to pick up the items on our To-Do List.
http://pastebin.com/7hTAHGyg

>>21618816
Currently, we're doing minor repairs to our ships, and resurrecting our allies.

We're also building a small church/observatory for our favorite goddess.

>>21618841
Looters to get: get another HK-50. While in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II, see if we can pick up some thermal detonators, repulsors (as spare parts for the TIE Defenders), Kolto medpacks, bacta replacements, agricultural droids (for maintaining the hydroponic labs), electrostaffs (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Electrostaff), and some lightsabers (as trade goods).

Engineering Team should have finished replacing all the equipment of the Breakout Team.

So now, they can work on repairing MechaGodzilla, which has major damage.

>>21618841
Sounds good. But maybe we should have the Hiigaran fleet continue to harvest materials/repair the fleet while we're here? I mean, we do have more than a few damage ships. Also, did we ever give that glorious X-COM trooper a name and abilities?

>>captcha: sencerti names

Apparently captcha finds this last topic to be very important.

>>21618841
>>21618816
And to be perfectly clear, we're only staying here until the end of Day 23, since we need to finish making the Church/Observatory for Desna in exchange for reviving White Mage Squad B.

>>21618996
Actually, if we leave the holograms here to build the church, and just have Vitun consecrate the ground and altar now, we can probably leave within the day.

I don't want to waste any more time than necessary here.

>>21618996
What? No way, we need to stay long enough to cure the smorgasbord of dead characters we've got in containment. Then we need to hand them over to the Crusade. Or talk the Crusade into simply reviving them so they can begin to restore their world and their own sanity.

>>21618841
"I cannot let you leave so long as you have them. You can keep them so long as you stay here, but when you leave, you have to hand them over," the Admiral stands, folding his hands behind his back. "I appreciate your cooperation a great deal, make no mistake. But given the relations between our two organizations, I cannot be more lenient on this."

Yami transits over to the Crusade Fleet, and then begin the process of ferrying him home.

When Dr. Cossack attempts to test the stability of Washu's lab, its subspace field collapses, annihilating everything left within and not even leaving the demiplane itself behind.

Rome wasn't built in a day, but due to the swift work of the Holograms, this Church to Desna was.

>>21619047
1st) Good. Hope he makes it alright.
2nd) I didn't have high hopes for this one anyways. Oh well.
3rd) Excellent. Maybe we should leave a remote transmitter with the Hologram, though? Just in case this world gets in trouble again?

>>21619047
Wait so are you staying the week or not?

>>21619047

Now program a medical hologram into the likeness of kotomine kirei and we can REJOICE.

>>21619047
Also let the Admiral know that we understand, and will transfer the remaining bodies to him soon. Speaking of which, should we try and SUE-cure these women, or leave that up to the Crusade? I'm formally withdrawing my "stay longer" idea.

>>21619089
Please refer to: >>21619100

>>21619089
just till our testing is done.

>>21619109
Damnit, I wish we had an IRC chat. That way these conversations wouldn't be so jumpy. Can someone set that up for next time?

>>21619089
I don't want to stay the week.
That's a week of picking up vital supplies and transmitting important data.

Only stay long enough to test the SUE-Cure on Fujin and Seifer.

Also, it's been a day, let's see how Yuna is doing.

>>21619117
Good idea. Let's also ask Diana and see if she'd be willing to come with us. Although considering this is her homeworld she might understandably want to stay and help rebuild.

>>21619116
We do. @Rizon #tgquest

I've mentioned it most threads.

>>21619129

Do you think we should ask Wonder Woman about all that she wishes to tell us about her home? Or see if there are any out-of-place mental effects on her? It's possible that there's a canon where only the Amazons existed, but you can't be too careful when dealing with the DCU.

Oh shit. You guys think we should leave the goliath warrior with the Crusade since her homeworld was under the influence of Chaosbringer?

>>21619129
The Crusade might have her on their list of war criminals, though. We should check.

>>21619089
We seem to be agreed that we will only stay long enough to see Seifer and Fujin decontaminated.
We'll take Veleth up on the deal we agreed to last thread: the Crusade revives, decontaminates, and does preliminary judgements on the lieutenants, then they transfer them over to us to attempt rehabilitation. We give them back after a certain period to see if rehabilitation was successful.

>>21619209
Sonya? Let's ask her.
Having her go home with the Crusade may fix her world. We shouldn't take her until we can detect reality distortions are gone.

>>21619117
By the end of Day 24, Fujin is herself again, the transformative SUE virus wiped from her system.

Yuna is doing better, but shows obvious signs of PTSD, even after Elaine attempted to heal it away. It's not major, she's dealing fairly well, but it will take time.

>>21619129
Diana indeed wishes to return home and spend at least a few months making sure everything of the old regime is well and truly gone.

Previously...

After Cheryl and the others had left the bridge after the Queen showdown, she stopped suddenly in one of the access halls.

"Weird. Pocket feels heavy. I don't remember..." Cheryl says, fishing around in her vest and withdrawing a pink wand. Her face turns into a horrified grimace. "...oh no..."

>>21619214
Ah, I forgot about that deal. This seems like a good plan. I kind of doubt Wonder Woman will be on the list. Seems she was just a guard, and not even worth corrupting in Chaosbringer's view.

>>21619236
Has Fujin been revived, or is her body simply restored to its natural form?

Ask Diana if, after her work here, she would then consider taking up the fight against things like Chaosbringer.

Pat Cheryl on the shoulder and tell her I am so sorry.

>>21619236
Get Seifer revived and check him for any trace of SUE Corruption.
Have the data that's been collected transmitted to Admiral Veleth.
"Admiral Veleth, I am pleased to report that our treatment is a success. We are transmitting the medical data now.
"I would like to point out that Seifer Almasy was forced to join Chaosbringer's organization under duress, and that there were clear signs of mental control when we encountered him."

I think now would be a good time to go over the deal with the Admiral.

>>21619236
>Yuna is doing better, but shows obvious signs of PTSD, even after Elaine attempted to heal it away. It's not major, she's dealing fairly well, but it will take time.
Well, guy who was saying that Yuna would bounce back without any problems from trauma, guess you were wrong.

>>21619327
Oh, and I assume that we transmitted to the Crusade how Yami was forced to cooperate with Chaosbringer, that Anzu was used as a hostage to keep Yami under control, and that he defected to the side of Good and Righteousness as soon as possible, right?

>>21619272
"Gah!" Cheryl shouts, nearly dropping the wand and turning around. "Where the hell did you come from?! You better not tell anyone about this..." Cheryl stuffs the wand back in her pocket. "As far as anyone knows, that reward got lost in the ephemeral mail or something."

Fujin's body is alive and restored, but sedated.

Diana pauses.

"I might, if the need is great enough. But I worry for my own home given how swiftly it fell."

>>21619214
The deal is finalized, and out of those judged, only Mitsune Konno is found guilty and handed over for rehabilitation. The rest begin a long and hard process of deprogramming and rehabilitation.

>>21619327
"If he was under control, his actions will be acquitted. Our Truthseekers will sniff it out," Admiral Veleth says.

>>21619345
Yuna is pretty damn resilient, but a few years of constant torture and rape will leave a mark on anyone.

>>21619370
You did.

>>21619384
"Geez, Cheryl. Calm down. I'd only suggest using it in an emergency. And besides, it give you even more power to fight freaks like Chaosbringer. That's something cool, right?"

To Diana: "We understand. Hopefully we will not need to call you away from your home for some time."

Revive Seifer and reunite these two.

>>21619384
If you want to get rid of it, but still have it around so it doesn't keep reappearing in random places, I'd suggest you go talk to Vitun. He might be able to whip up a pair of Gloves of the Master Strategist for you, or compress it into a tiny tattoo to make it even easier to hide.

This must be Admiral Veleth's price for cleaning up our mess in the other areas of the Quarantine Zone.

Hey MetaOP, I was wondering if Tsunami's boon will carry over once we've left this universe.

>>21619437
She is literally the only one that-
>Kanako.

My mistake, Mitsune and Kanako are the only two that weren't brainwashed and essentially opted in to the whole thing of the ones you saved.

So... you get Kanako too.

>>21619436
"Wah! How the hell do you people sneak around so well!" Cheryl huffs. Then she pauses. "Actually... yeah. I'll have to see Vitun. That might actually work..."

>>21619418
Fujin wakes up in a hospital gown, at about the same time Seifer does.

"ALIVE," she states.

"We... made it?" Seifer mumbles, blinking in confusion.

"CURSE," Fujin prompts.

"I don't... I don't feel it..." Seifer says, turning. He starts. "Fujin! You..."

"WHOLE," Fujin says, stroking her unfurred cheek with a smile.

>>21619495

Ugh. The Great Crusade must be laughing their asses off. And since they're the ones with 4 million ships, we can't complain. Well, they were going to take all of the lieutenants anyway. Though I have no idea what Kitsune is supposed to do on our task force.
Except stay away from the bar.

>>21619512
Glad to see you two are up and about. Seifer, I'm sorry about this, but you're going to have to submit to some questioning from associates of ours. As long as you were telling the truth to us I'm sure you'll come out of it okay.

>>21619519
>>21619512
>Kanako
I suppose it's not too bad. She's got decent disguise skills.
Except we've got fucking dermal regenerators and holographic cloaking.

Bah, don't mind me, just grousing.

Let's ask Diana if there were any other DC Heroes in her world prior to what happened. Have ANON spit out a list of capes, and see if she recognizes any.

And let's decide on that boon from Tsunami.

>>21619564
Good idea. If we could resurrect the Justice League this world would be considerably safer. Also, we should probably do something about the ghost army issue. Will they just disperse on their own, or what?

>>21619547
"Can't be worse than that shit we just got out of," Seifer says, standing and cracking his neck. "Sure."

>>21619564
Diana does not recognize any of the DC heroes, but does recognize a few Marvel ones. After a prolonged interview, the best guess you can come up with is that Diana and the others weren't 'true' versions of themselves, but were either alternate versions or facsimiles integrated into the world through an unknown process.

>>21619591
which ones, and are they currently alive?

>>21619572
When the brilliant light from the planet dims, the planet is restored to its pre-invasion state. The vast majority of the ghosts have been reincarnated into new bodies, and the events of the past now only seem like what was surely nothing more than a terrible nightmare.

>>21619603
Storm and Spider-Woman. They're alive.

>>21619605
Well, that settles that then.

>>21619564

We should talk directly to Tsunami and determine what exactly she can or will do for us. I don't want to seem ungrateful or nitpicky, but knowing what she can safely bestow upon us would help in determining in what could help us and/or this canon the most.

>>21619615
Scry for them.

Also, have Tosh contact the underworld with his ability to talk to Spirits. I want to see if Gondegal is down there.

>>21619591
"Well, Mr. Almasy, we are people of our word. Now, the Great Crusade still is determined to put you and Fujin on trial, but we are confident that you both will be acquitted of all charges. If you will come this way, please. Miss Fujin, we have replacement clothes over here, and a changing room when you are ready."

Better get them over to the Crusade.

>>21619605
Alright, let's see if Tosh and the Farseers, maybe with help from Cheryl, can contact Gondegal. I want to know if he's been destroyed, or if he's at rest.

>>21619615
They'll probably be needed to help defend this world from Meta-Threats. Let's leave them be here, to work with Wonder Woman.

In determining how to use Tsunami's Boon, can we please have Tosh talk to the spirits and ask if Gondegal has passed into the Underworld, or is he destroyed?

>>21619639
Leaving those heroes here seems like a good idea. I would have loved to recruit Diana, but she's probably one of the heaviest hitters this world has now.

>>21619564

Possible Boons:

Speed our research teams and/or improve their rate of researching. Or possibly alter the time dilation on our Elysium research zone to expand even further, allowing for relatively faster research.

Get Yellowman in this canon and stabilize/disable his scoutship's meta-transit drive so that he won't warp out randomly anymore, and also preserve the data storage on his vessel so that we can directly get evidence of SHODAN's takeover of Black Ops.

>>21619682
Or we could use it to upgrade Gurthang another step.

Gurthang: Time Cleaver and other stuff.

>>21619682
We've already got Sylphie looking for him, though.

Improving the rate of research would be nice.

>>21619701
Gurthang the Time Cleaver, Blessed by 4 Goddesses, crafted by the Noldor of the First Age, reforged in Nargothrond, reforged again by the Three Gurus of the Kingdom of Zeal.

>>21619639
It takes some effort, but you find out where Gondegal's spirit is.

Gondegal's spirit's was taken by Desna on his defeat, and conveyed to the Upper Planes, where he will rest free of worldly cares until he wishes to move on yet again.

>>21619755
Okay, so he's taking a vacation. He's earned it. Not going to complain.

SO!
Let's talk about other boons!
Upgrade to Elysium?
Or make Gurthang pimpin'?

>>21619755
Very well. Gondegal, you've earned your rest a dozen times over. Have a nice afterlife.

>>21619775
I'm thinking Elysium. We need to get some Research done and Gurthang's already pretty strong.

>>21619755
Okay, so, I guess Cheryl contacts Tsunami? Asks what the limitations of the boon are?

>>21619792

On the other hand, getting Yellowman safely aboard our ship with the evidence of SHODAN taking over Black Ops might help in other ways. It would convince the Crusade that the TG is not bad as a whole, and that this whole crisis was just caused by a bunch of assholes. It would also alert other meta-factions of what Black Ops' ultimate goal is; the Crusade and/or other meta-factions who are friendly to us may lend us aid or intelligence on how to best deal with SHODAN.

>>21619831

This needs to be done above all else. Perhaps we can also ask Tsunami if she knows if the Avatar is OK or not.

Yellowman is off the table for now.

<MetaMan> If you do that
<MetaMan> The next thread's title will be
<MetaMan> TG Quest 114: Sequence Breaking
<Codeki-> So, bad idea then?
<Greyheart> That...doesn't sound good.
<MetaMan> I honestly have no idea
<MetaMan> I just know it will essentially murderize my plans for Yellowman Quest
<Greyheart> Oh my. Can't have that.

>>21619840
>Avatar is OK or not.
Right, because Okku and Cheryl were unsure.

While we argue over the boon from Tsunami, I'd also like to send out our Looter Team to Star Wars.
List of stuff to get is here:>>21618898

>>21619863
Sounds good. Maybe see if they can even recruit somebody?

>>21619863
Oh, that's right!
MetaOP, were we able to recover the memory core of HK-50? He's got experience I'd rather not lose.

>>21619916
I believe so.

>>21619927
Other than the boon, is there anything else you have to do here? Are you transiting back to the world you gave the Protoss or the Vault in the Shadowrun world?

Captcha: whydoit lous

Fuck you Captcha, I ain't no louse.

>>21619960
Has Seifer been looked over by the Crusade yet? If so, what have they determined? Make sure to send Diana back down to a location of her choice, and ask Yuna if she'd rather stay here or come with us.

>>21619927
Then all the Looter Team needs to do (they should have an Al'Kesh with them to aid in their *acquisitions*) is get an HK-50 chassis.

>>21619960
Picking up the Hiigaran Decoy Fleet, making sure that the EMH for Desna's church/shrine has all of the religious materials it needs, as well as medical supplies, and a briefcase of precious metals to fund the church.

>>21619960

Might want to run some psionic scans on Mitsune and Kanako to see if there was any funny business going on in their heads before they agreed to help Chaosbringer ravage their world. If the Shadowrun base or the base in the Vaderverse has any spare psychiatric staff, such a diagnosis could help speed things along.

Is there anything we want to ask/say to the Great Crusade before we move on?

>>21619960
Transiting back to the Protoss Colony/Sector HQ.

>>21619976
Seifer's been looked over by the Crusade. They've determined that while he did effectively make a deal with Chaosbringer and serve him, it was under severe coercion. They're currently deciding whether to essentially let him go free or charge him with a penitent task. He and Fujin are in no danger of being imprisoned or executed at this stage.

>>21619982
OK, and the destination?

>>21619976

>Great Crusade

Ask Veleth if the Great Crusade is intending to render aid to the neighboring realities. If so,

>Sonya

Ask Sonya if she'd prefer to come with us, or stay with the Great Crusade to help repair her world.


Do we want to try to reconcile our concept of reality with the Crusade, or do we have other business to attend to?

>>21620040
>Destination
Looter Team Destination: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2.
They're in a war, items we want should be easy to come by.
Take an Al'Kesh, and an Emergency Security Hologram, just in case.

>>21620040
If he requires a penitent task, why not have them come with us? What better quest to redeem himself than one where he can destroy things like the evil he served?

My vote for Tsunami's boon is the time upgrade for Elysium, or if she can't do that then let her decide.

I'm off to bed. See you guys next thread.

I'm also voting for an increase in the time differential in Elysium for Tsunami's boon.
If that's too much though, powering up Gurthang would be nice.

Looks like I slept through this one.

I hope everything went okay. :)

>>21620070
Actually, they should take an Emergency Engineering Hologram as well in case they need to do repairs.

>>21620042
Sonya doesn't have a problem remaining with you for a while, but at some point she'd like to go home. Still, not a lot left for her there, and she IS an adventurer.

The Great Crusade is in the process of rendering aid to all the realities affected by Chaosbringer, yes.

>>21620032
Admiral Veleth, with some hesitation, gives you a coded frequency as you transfer the bodies of the slain Chaos lieutenants to him.

"Either of us may find contacting the other useful in the future," he states. "This is a secure line to my flagship only a few parties know how to access. I assume your ship is capable of transdimensional communication? Good. Then farewell, and good luck."

The Hiigaaran Fleet rejoins with yours a few minutes later, and you make the transpace jump, emerging back into reality over the Earth housing the Vault.

"I was barely involved in that mound of crap, and I STILL want a vacation," Spike comments as he looks out an observation port at the planet below. "It's nice to be in orbit over a planet with SOME sanity left to it."

>You can assume the boon was decided on before you left.

>>21620118
When she returns to grant you the boon, Tsunami states that she can increase the time differential from x4 to x5, or grant Gurthang an ability to manipulate waves. She does not get more specific.

>>21620184
Okay.

Inform Ferricelli of the Vault that we're here, and that we've got some news. Open up a secure, encrypted channel and give him a mission recorder dump, and a summary of the Great Crusade.

Also, open up a Meta-Comm channel to our friendly neighborhood TSAB outpost. Request a secure, encrypted channel.

>>21620209
This'll have to wait for tomorrow, I have to get to sleep.

Pick up tomorrow at the usual time.

>>21620209
"TSAB Border Outpost #27759, this is Transpace Guard Sector Task Force 38, requesting a secure channel to speak with Base Commander Leadra Celeste."

Prepare to transmit to them:
All of our SUE-Cure research, all of our Aglaophotis research, and the information we've collected about the Great Crusade (but not the Admiral's Meta-Comm frequency; that's something he only shared with us).

Right. So the Crusade will handle cleanup. Finding reality distortions, restoring people to their usual spots and all that.
I'd say everything managed to work out well.

So we came out of that mess +Yuna, +Sonya, +Research, +Mitsune, +Kanako, -Gondegal, -Avatar.

Our options now include:
>Nu Chaos homeworld
>Other lynchpin
>Void engineers vs. Nu Chaos ship battlefield

What's in the other lynchpin? I'm guessing it's World of Darkness, but assumptions are the mother of all fuckups.
We're also yet to encounter My Immortal in this quest, and if you're on a SUE slaughter without finding that, then you've skipped something.

>>21620238
That's a reasonable thing to do.

Rolled 15

>>21621080

Avatar was once mentioned to be resting. We might not have lost him yet. Hopefully.

>>21620234
What the fuck? Why didn't we keep Seifer and Fujin? It's not like they were Liutenants, they were glorified prison guards.

Idiots. IDIOTS ALL OF YOU!

>>21621780
I asked those two if they wanted to come with us. We didn't get a response.

>>21622871

With luck we'll get a retro-action from MetaOP regarding their judgement.

Perhaps a pertinence crusade with Task Force 38?

>>21623081
You fixed Fujin, revived them and gave them to the Crusade without them really asking. Then only one guy asked for them to be stationed with us and you all ignored him and warped out of the system because OH NO GOTTA LEAVE!

Fucking Idiot.

>>21622899
Processing the paperwork to move the quest there will require a fee of $50 USD, as well as the submission of a formal letter that will be reviewed. Until you go through the proper channels, my hands are tied.

Besides, the damn thing is almost done.

>>21622871
Sorry, I saw the question but forgot to reply. Seifer and Fujin consider the offer, but in the end it still depends on what the Crusade decides. Passing on the suggestion to the Crusade nets you the following: "An interesting proposal. We will consider it."

>>21624331
So Seifer and Fujin's cases are still being processed by the Crusade?

Oh, and the Crusade would have asked for Seifer and Fujin regardless of them just being guards for the Floating Palace, correct? Seeing as they are Meta-Contaminants to this world and all.

>>21624384
Yes.

>>21624406
How's our research and repairs on the Storm doing?

>>21624421
I'll handle research a bit later, but repairs on the Storm are progressing nicely. The ship should be spaceworthy relatively soon. Sooner, if you pick the time compression boon from Tsunami.

>>21624450
Well then I say the Elysium time compression should be our definite choice.

>>21624470
Ditto on the time boost.

>>21624450
I'm voting for that power-up to Gurthang. The ability to control waves sounds interesting.

>>21624620

Assuming that there's a liberal interpretation of "waves", this could possibly include controlling light to an extent (i.e. redirecting or weakening lasers) or possibly even fiddling around with electronics and even neural function/psionics.

>>21625977
Or waves of time energy.

>>21619605
Well lets see about contacting the few who did not reincarnate

>>21626621
Damn it too late

>>21624450
Imo time boost.

>>21628323
>>21624518
>>21624470
Sorry for being late. Looks like time boost is the winner.

Tsunami vanishes with a smile and the time acceleration around Elysium increases to x5!

>>21629043
Thank you. Let's get items on our To-Do List checked off.

Also, what happened to the other prisoners we rescued from the Floating Palace?

Has the Looter Team left yet? We might have some changes to their list of items to acquire and where to go.

Also, can we get some workers from the crews of the ships in our task force to assist in the construction of a hydroponics lab in Elysium during this down-time?

>>21629043
Excellent. This will help get our research and repairs going even faster.

>>21629092
I thought we were installing the HP Lab on the Storm? By the way, what do you think of my nickname for our new source of restorative items?

>>21629043
I wonder what we're going to do with that Stone of Ephemeral Eyes now that the world is ghostfree?

Well, I suppose we'll encounter more ghosts in the future. I mean there is a 40k world down the line. Bound to be all sorts of dead heroes there.

>>21629092
The other prisoners would be requested they be sent topside when the restoration is complete. With the world normal again, they can go back to their old lives.

You can make last minute changes to the Looter Team if you like.

You can, but it'll be slow going.
