You sigh as you read the note. You were sort of expecting this to happen ever since you blew him off the other day, but that still doesn't mean you're looking forward to it.

For once, you actually wake up rather late in the morning, so you assume that the rest of your squad is awake, in some form or another. Maybe you'd like to take a couple of them along? Just in case?

You got something against Ramirez? Haven't you ever wanted to hear "Ramirez handle the situation diplomatically!"?

>>24794626
Five minutes later, half of Albion is on fire. Ramirez starts writing apology letters.

>>24794626
Sure, when I wanted a brawl....

>>24794234
You suppose you can stay consistent and roll with Sam and Tarin again. You're pretty sure between all three of you, you'd be able to deal with any curveballs Lynch might try to throw at you.

You find Sam where she usually is, in her "office" managing unit rosters and paperwork. It seems like the more assets you've been adding to the Demons, the more work she seems to get. However, she doesn't really seem to mind.

"Oh, hey Cap." Sam looks up from her desk. "Whatcha up to? Just gotta forge your signature on a few more papers..."

"Nothing incriminating, I hope." You grin.

"Nah, just clearing up some red tape." Sam shrugs. "What do you need?"

"Well, you see, I've got a meeting with Lynch..."

"...and you want me there to back you up in case things go south... again." Sam finishes for you. "Yeah sure I could help out."

You don't even need to go find Tarin to ask her. She's already waiting outside the door. Honestly you're not even surprised at this anymore.

"It's that time again, huh?" She asks.

"Yep. Hopefully this is the last time I've got to deal with him in person."

"We can only hope."

By this point, you can find Lynch's headquarters pretty much by heart. You let yourself in, with nobody paying you any attention. As far as the AIS was concerned, the war was still on, so they still had plenty of work ahead of them.

The same guard as last time is standing guard in front of Lynch's office. He gives you and Tarin a rather scary glare, but you respond with your own deathglare, almost daring him to start something. Deciding this wasn't a fight he could win, the guard steps aside and lets you pass, his scowl still evident on his face.

Lynch's office is still the same as before, barebones and spartan. Lynch still looks mostly the same, though you can tell he's a bit less than pleased.

"You disappoint me, Captain Sturmfuhrer." Lynch says simply. "I was under the impression you would do anything to win this war."

>What say?

>>24794626
But, this Ramirez is a career soldier. His "diplomatic solution" probably involves "not" killing the other guy.

>>24794662
The letters explode upon opening. It would appear that his fingers have remnants of explosives.

>>24794680
"I'm pretty sure I did. With minimal bloodshed, might I remind you."

>>24794680
"Winning this war coincides with my interests. It would appear you assumed otherwise."

This is all about that vengeance.

>>24794680

" Why the hell should I care if you are vaguely disappointed? My job is to keep Albion safe from the Imps, last I checked, the only reasons Sir Fleisher isn't picking his teeth with your bones are my men and I.

>>24794680
"Disapointed? That's odd. Doesn't having a round of fisticuffs between men not count as 'anything'?

Besides, didn't my way save many others lives? Hrrmm?"

>>24794680
"My goal at the time was to prevent the invasion of Albion. I believe I accomplished that quite handily. I know this because Albion doesn't have Imperials marching through its cities right now.

Now I could have kept Fleisher as a prisoner for you, and that would have had its advantages.

However without the Red Swallow with them I believed many Imperials would have stood and fought instead of retreating. This would have led to us losing many more troops and quite possibly with them breaking through our lines in the places that I wasn't and doing serious damage to Albion in one way or another whether it be Albion's manufacturing, morale, or the number of men available to fight.

You were horrendously unprepared for the invasion, I just gave you time to build up and actually attack."

>>24794820
Damn is that one thorough telling off.

>>24794680
>"I was under the impression you would do anything to win this war."
"Lynch, exactly how much do you know about the Belkan knights? Not about their victories or their names. I mean how they're selected, how they're raised. The training that every soldier who wants to someday become a knight volunteers for--that's all of them by the way--and the vetting that each prospect undergoes before their name is even put forward for a position in the lowest tank crew. Add that to their delightfully old-fashioned notions of honor and duty and you get a corps of soldiers who would bite off their own tongue before talking under any form of duress you could devise.

"So yes, I would do anything to end this war, but my information was better than yours."

>>24794820
I like this it tells him off thoroughly while still being somewhat polite to the guy signing our checks.

>>24794680

>>24794820
This one.

>>24794680
"And I have."
"Perhaps you were expecting me to keep the knight prisoner and let you have that feather in your cap, but I am a tactician, a leader of men, not a career bureaucrat. It is plain to see from the results of battle that the soldiers of the Empire had utter faith in the leadership of Fleischer and many would have ignored the results of the duel to rescue him. We would not have held that beach if that happened."

>>24794820
>>24794888

I think you guys have forgotten how the Imps ran with the tails between their legs the second Fleischer fell down.

>>24794820
This

>>24794905
That was the deal we had with him. Our troops would have had to do the same if we had lost.

>>24794905
They left because of the terms of the duel.

>>24794820
You know, I can back this

>>24794920
>>24794930

The point.


Your heads.

>>24794950
Shhhhh. No one must know that you were joking. Ever.

>>24794905
The ones on our front left after we beat up Fleisher, but we had no way of knowing if the ones on the other two fronts would just retreat happily without the Red Swallow telling them to retreat.

I wonder how much imperial weapons,gear and ammo we salvaged...

>>24795087
Probably whatever the dead had on them.
Personally, I think we should arrange for the bodies to be returned to the Empire for proper funerals. If that's not feasible, make sure they receive proper military funerals here in Albion. If we wanna subvert the entire nation of Belka, we gotta be honorable as fuck, and proper due to the dead is both honorable and easy.

>>24795087
It was a retreat not a rout. They probably left destroyed or compromised equipment and picked up the wounded and those of the dead they could identify. I wouldn't bet that there's a massive amount of equipment to be had.

>>24794935
>>24794911
...Aren't you referring to the same post?

>>24795194
What?

>>24795169
oh ya send the body's back with personal belongs

Fairly easy to just mention that letting him go will have in the long term effects on both Imperial morale. It sends a message back after the destruction of the lion that Albion has its shit together far better then it actually does if they can afford to just let him go. Makes imps more willing to surrender to him if they think they will be treated well. It was a battle field judgement call for the long term.

>>24795194
Spiral and Spectral are 2 different namefags.

>>24795194
They're different people, they just both have names that start with S and are two words.

You finally stop to take a breath after that long winded speech. Sam and Tarin seem to be shocked that you've gone on such a long winded speech which was basically a fancy way of telling Lynch to sod off.

To his credit, Lynch seems to take it pretty well. He just sits there silently as you talk.

"You realize, Captain, that under the Federation Unified Military Code, which you are subject to under the terms of your contract, the unauthorized release of a prisoner of war can be considered treason." Lynch says calmly.

You turn to Sam to check if he's just bullshitting you. However, the nervous look on her face suggest it is most definitely not.

"But, after that little show you put up there, I can't very well have you sent off to the firing squad." Lynch shakes his head. "I'm afraid this is the end of our arrangement. Albion is safe and we no longer require your services. I do hope you'll have more success in your future ventures."

---

"Well, I guess that could've gone better." Sam says as you walk out of the office.

"Not really. He was actually fighting the urge to throttle the Captain during that whole meeting." Tarin points out.

>>24795236
"You would've stopped him, right?" You ask.

"Fifty fifty." Tarin responds.

"Good to know."

"I guess we'd better get ready to go, huh?" Sam says. "We got a lot to pack."

"Wait..." You stop. "What'll happen to the Vergeltung?"

"Technically, even though Vergeltung's lease was handled by the AIS, the actual leaseholder is the Navy. I don't think they'll have any problems keeping that arrangement in place." Sam reassures you.

"Okay...."

"There's still Lieutenant Parker." Tarin points out.

"Right..." You frown.

It's not even a waifu thing for me, I just think she's adorable, and incredibly useful.

Then then stab/choke you when your back is turned

>>24795468
Oswald had a reason to die and she hardly knew him. Be flat out retarded to mess with someone who is the national hero at the moment and gets the job done. Lynch may want to use us later on. He isn't stupid.

>mfw i'm already listening to that

>>24795497
But half the reason I like her is because she's deadly and damn good at her job.

She won't kill us unless she has a damn good reason to, and in some ways she might be questioning following Lynch, because Lynch is a dick.

>>24795502
It'll be a just a cause as any.

>>24795534

I think you guys are allowing the cuteness to cloud your judgement, we have absolutely no reason to believe she follows us over Lynch. None at all.

>>24795534
>But half the reason I like her is because she's deadly and damn good at her job.
And its for those reasons why I personally fear her.

>>24795553
This. The only reason she's working with the Demons now is because Lynch told her to.

>>24795553
Even if she does follow lynch why does it matter? We are just mercs anyway so it isn't like we have anything to hide and she is useful as hell.

Maybe she'll honor her promise?

then we give her a choice. The Demons or Lynch

Also guys before our next mission we should get lessons from Tarin in CQC.

>>24795581
Addon. Just have to keep her possibile loyalty in mind when we use her. That's all.

>>24795581

If you are asking me honestly why having a trained spy reporting on our actions to a foreign intelligence agent who dislikes us is bad, I am flabbergasted.

>>24795604
This I support. She breaks her word, we throw her out.

Mainly it is because lynch isn't a idiot and she is useful. If you worry so much about that you might as well be worried about our squads loyalty because who says they are who they say they are. I don't mean truly trust her. I mean not throwing about a valuable asset we might have a chance to change to our side. In other words use her pragmatically like she plans us pure and simple.

No. Make her choose. It's the best option. She's a hole in the organization otherwise.

>>24795726
This. Though we will always have to have an eye on her even if she does 'leave' Lynch

>>24795726
Then we lose the possible ties to the Albion AOE spy networks. We might be able to get something done with that tie as is. Though yeah at the base I agree with you.

>>24795726
No true spy would leave their country with a merc group without orders.

>>24795762

Yes, but at least then we can give her some level of trust.

Though right now this is kind of pointless. We really need to see what she does first then react to that.

>>24795777

She'll say she has no orders. Doesn't mean they were not given. If you can't see the benefit to Lynch of keeping tabs on a Mercenary outfit with a god damn Uboat I cannot help you.

"We need to talk to Elizabeth, find out where she stands on this." You say. Both Sam and Tarin nod in agreement.

It's not hard to find her. She's back in the hotel lobby, reading the exact same book she was last time you visited her there.

"So... guess you're not in Lynch's good graces anymore, huh?" She says, not looking up from the book. "Now's going to be that awkward part where you question my loyalty and all, except there's going to be that whole fallacy in play where you'll assume I'm lying no matter what I say because that's what I'm supposed to do. So I'm just going to simplify this whole ordeal. Do you want me to stay or not?"

>Well?

>>24795821

" Yes. But I need you to cut ties with Lynch if you want to stay on. It's that simple."

>>24795785
Oh yes. I'm all for offering someone a chance, don't get me wrong. I would love keep her skills around.

And showing her we 'trust' her, is a good idea for that

>>24795821
"Yes."

What about the waddlin' man?

>>24795821
...Fuck.
>>24795832
This.

>>24795821
"Oh, you're good."

>>24795821
I for one want her to stay.

>>24795817
YES

It's better to have her close where we can see her instead of somewhere else.

>>24795821
"Up to you. I'm just gonna stop second-guessing things for now and just roll with whatever comes up."

>>24795809
They already go the info about the U-boat and we are only 8-9 people not a whole frontier.

>>24795821

"Stay. But promise not to send Lynch any info on us."

That way if she catch her doing so we will know something is up.

>>24795821
>yes

>>24795821
"I like you to stay on. You had proven that we could use someone with your talents when we sunk the Lion. But you would know how short of leash you'd be on, right?"

>>24795821
"Thanks for clearing all of that up, it makes thing much easier when people are blunt about this sort of thing.

I would like you to stay. The Demons like you, you're good at your job, and you have great choice in hats."

>>24795821
>>24795832
This it's the only way we can remotely trust her.
>>24795883
Your a fucking retard

>>24795832
This, but we need to make sure she looks us in the eye. See what direction her eyes go to see if sh is lying

>>24795900
She killed a man, and is a trained spy. She is not going to have obvious tells.

>>24795821
"Depending on two things, I'd like it if you stayed on. One's that you're going to have to cut ties with the AIA, the other's whether you think you could live with yourself if you joined up."

>>24795821
"Miss Parker, I would like you to stay, if you're willing to. But I understand that won't be easy for you, seeing how you're sworn to defend Queen and Country. So I want you to ask yourself, can you put the good of the company ahead of the good of Albion? If we're lucky, it'll never come to that, but I'm not going to get my people killed unless we're getting paid for it."
Turn that around on her.

That seems counter intuitive to using a gun.

>>24795832
>>24795900
If she's going to report back to Lynch it doesn't matter if we ask her not to, she can do it under our nose if need be, and if she isn't going to do it then there is no point in asking.

It doesn't really accomplish anything.

>>24795937
IT no I fuck.

>>24795951
what part of >>24795643 do you not get?

>>24795953

We are here, asking for her word not to.

This way, we can give her the benefit of the doubt. If she ever betrays us, we will have a right to remove her from the organization.

>>24795972
Having all your fingers in a fixed position isn't going to make using a gun very easy.

>>24795898
She's turned this into a yes or no decision. Either we admit we find her a valuable asset that we want to keep and to a certain extent even trust her or we admit the opposite. Either way she gets an idea of what we think of her and we don't get any idea of what she thinks of us.

If we turn it around and make it her decision that changes that.

Hell personally I would just say she can send anything but stuff about us back. No real reason to withhold info on the Imperial movements we see because we hate the Imps anyway. We really just don't want private info sent back.

>>24795821
"I'd like you to stay, I really do." You say. "You bring some useful skills to the Demons. But I need you guarantee that you won't stab us in the back just because Lynch tells you to. I don't care if you have to ignore his orders, or just quit AIS entirely. If you feel you have to turn on us, I want it to be over your own conscience, not somebody else's."

Consensus was to take her in, but cut her ties to Lynch. This is the natural course of action that decision goes to.

Son, there are women you can keep in line with the pimp hand. But then there are women who will garrote you while your back is turned. Which do you think our supers-py is?

Yes indeed. She misbehaves, explosives and bullets will be more appropriate.

>>24796128
Ooh! Ooh! The second one! The second one!

>>24796059

Eh. I think he would see far enough ahead to notice that killing someones spy only alerts them they know making them more subtle next time. Isn't like karla who he knew for years before hand.

anyone who betrays us at sea walks the plank now!

>>24795988

Shh. No logic now, only knifegun.

>>24796210

She knows we know about her. We can only feed her false info if she doesn't know she's been compromised, she's only going to send information she can independently verify.

Honestly, for a merc commander? Safest thing for us to do is claim we trust her and then arrange for her to die in combat immediately, even if we have to do it ourselves.

>>24796284
So you're saying that if she betrays us we should force her to walk the...plank?

>>24796059
"Okay, I guess we can work with that." Elizabeth sighs. "Look, just to put this forward, I can't just 'cut ties' with Lynch or the AIS. Spy goes rogue, and joins up with some random mercs. You realize how bad that makes everybody look? The best I can do is give Lynch just enough intel to keep him satisfied. As long as he gets something out of it, he won't complain."

You nod. It makes sense from what you've seen of the man.

"Okay, but understand this. If I have ANY reason to suspect you're going to go against us, you're out of the Demons, one way or another."

"Roger that."

Well, that was a lot easier than you thought. Still, you make it a point to keep a little closer eye on her in the future.

"I guess that's one knife in the back dodged." Sam whistles.

"Tarin?, your opinion?"

"She's being truthful as far as I can tell." She shrugs.

"Sooo, what next?" Sam asks.

>Lets get our money and check in with Qyburn.

Funnily enough, while the execution is wacky comedy, the base concept of the film is valid. A diesel is COMPLETELY silent if you cut the engine and the crew stay silent. A diesel sub on the floor, with the engine cut and the crew silent, is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find.

It was a yes or no question.

" I cant."

We didn't get to say yes or no.

>>24796425
Terrible arrangement, but if it means we get to keep our asset, then I'll live with it.

That's all that matters.

>>24796345
He would be angry yes and he might just do this. But it really depends on circumstances to me. I'd give him 50/50 odds of either way depending on gains. He is a sneaky bastard sometimes as shown by him liking to sneak attack, Thinking to insult someones honor to take them off their game. Willing to do insane risks like the lion battle. To my mind it just depends on how close to home it hit and how much time he has to calm down and think about it.

>>24796382
>Lets get our money and check in with Qyburn.

>>24796382
Check on Qyburn.

Do we have some kind of contract agreement with him yet? I know he's basically freelance so we should get some contact info and such since we're leaving Albion.

>>24796465
it was a compromise being the most sensible and subtle of options, plus the roll was only a 14

so either provide an alternative option that is well thought out and explained or stfu, stop complaining and move on

So we should just make her our waifu until she strangles us with a garrote?

>>24796425
>>24796465
The question was yes or no. The condition to cut ties was a bonus I added in. Just
asking her to cut ties won't make her automatically do it. That roll was a CH test to see how convinced she would be to do such a thing, but unfortunately the roll wasn't quite good enough.

>>24796474

>>24796529
he needs to watch burn notice

>>24796521

I am displeased with how this was handled. In the future I would like things to be more clear.

But it's done. Carrying on.


Take my advice: Trust her with nothing important.

>>24796529

Im sure you spend a lot of time in Langley.

>>24796523
Clearly on island just outside Imp waters just to piss them off. Note I have no idea what the map looks like for VC.

>>24796552
>I would like things to be more clear.
thigns were clear, now stop being butthurt and get shopping

>>24796552
Well of course. And definitely nothing personal. Imperial stuff is fine as long as Albion doesn't fall.

>>24796558
because Langley is the only place in the world where espionage happens right?

fucking Americans, can we invade Not!America next?

>>24796552
We can't do that. If that was what we we were going to do then we should have not brought her at all.

She agreed to come with us and to keep Lynch out of the loop as best she can. We start giving her scraps and mistrust her and she's going to reassess her decision.

We've convinced her partially. Now we treat her like the family we treat the rest of the team is and convince her the whole way.

>>24796570

Its called feedback. Believe me, QMs appreciate it, especially when it's negative. This is a good quest. When something happens that I think shouldn't have, I am not doing anything wrong by pointing it out.

>>24796552
Perhaps we should tell our squad mates this to. When she is not nearby of course. Make sure they don't spill anything important

>>24796593
Nah, NotAmerica2 is first, then NotAmerica.

>>24796609
thats just going to cause a rift between her and the demons, undoing the work that the 14 did for us

not smart

>>24796507
This. To do otherwise is suicide without a nation defending you. You don't just cut ties unless you have a death wish because spy networks betraying get hunted down. Even today.

>>24796517
She lacks the reason to do this to begin with. The demons isn't her foe the imperials are. Doing that would be stupid especially with us giving her easier movement.

>>24796552
Agreed here actually no need to push our luck. We really don't have any info though that is important at all. Because we are mercs we don't have any state secrets or anything.

>>24796609

As long as she is reporting on us, and she is, this is wise.

If she ever stops, which we should be working towards, then we need not worry.

>>24796593

You know what? Fuck you. Don't pretend you are some master spy and I am some hick.

>>24796609
That's sorta dumb. If we do that, we shouldn't have brought her with us in the first place. Having a spy with you is always a risk, both for the enemy and for us. Besides, Lynch wouldn't gain anything if he antagonizes us. What's in it for him? Unless we suddenly start going imp, we're fine.

>inb4 they screw us out of our money and we got no legal leg to stand on, being mercs.

Okay, so apparently people still haven't gotten over the whole issue about Elizabeth, so I'm going to try and settle this issue once and for all.

UNDER THE CURRENT CONDITIONS. Do you want to keep Elizabeth or not? This is your FINAL decision. The conditions CANNOT be changed at this point. A simple YES OR NO vote. You have fifteen minutes.

>>24796686
Yes.

>>24796650
Then don't act you know everything like you have been from the start of this quest. Truthfully, that's my biggest issue with you. You believe everyone should go with your idea because it's so goddamn great.

>>24796686
Yes

>>24796686

I am going to say no. I will be outvoted. I do not care.

>>24796686
Yes.

>>24796686
No

>>24796686
Yes.

>>24796686
I'm all for having Elizabeth join us.

>>24796686
>Do you want to keep Elizabeth or not?
YES, she is an interesting character as well an a HUGE ASSET

as long as we dont go imp (which we wont), we have no reason to fear anything she reports back to albion, if anything doing so could give us advantages and favors to use in the future

>>24796686
...No

>>24796696

Everyone thinks their idea is great. That's not unique to me.

>>24796696
He's just voicing his opinion like everyone else. Put up or shut up.

>>24796686
Yes. This whole thing is silly. People are acting like they lost when they really just didn't instantly win.

>>24796686
Yes, I want to keep her.

>>24796686
Yes. Kirei is paranoid as hell.

>>24796686
Works for me.

>>24796650
Thing is we know she is a spy. If you are worried about spies be more worried about the spies we don't know about.

I won't say your opinion is wrong or anything you make good points. But try not to get too hanged up on things. Also just Ignore the people who are saying you shouldn't say what you think. You may not word it well sometime but you are a alright poster KIREI.

>>24796767
>all arguments for and against have been made, and theres been 10+ votes, prolonging the voting window is just going to encourage samefagging

It was also partly an excuse for me to get some food.

Look guys, I don't want to be THAT QM. I'm not out to try and screw you over at every turn. Like any other good QM, I want the players to have FUN. Player paranoia is fun and all, but when it gets to the point where it starts overshadowing the rest of the quest, I WILL put my foot down.

That said, it looks like Elizabeth is staying. I will not discuss this issue any more.

Update coming soon. Stay tuned.

>>24796852
>but when it gets to the point where it starts overshadowing the rest of the quest, I WILL put my foot down.

>>24796852
Thanks Merc.

>>24796852
>Look guys, I don't want to be THAT QM.
It's not only an issue about being THAT QM, but it's also an issue whether some of us will become THAT ANON that will try to derail the thread because they didn't get their way.

>>24796938

I only brought up what I brought up because I felt that it was handled poorly.

Things don't go my way here all that often, and it rarely bothers me. I felt the decision was made for us, and I brought it up. Now it's done, so let's just move on.

Now that Elizabeth is part of the crew she needs to start playing up the "embedded reporter" angle a bit more. Since we will be operating in other countries we need a plausible reason to keep her around.

>>24797060

Im sure she can handle it, she is trained for such things.

"You know..." you frown, looking at the payment receipt, "for saving an entire country, this is a pretty paltry payment."

"Ah, Lynch's vengeance strikes." Sam shakes her head.

"All the more reason for us to get out of here." You sigh.

When you approach Qyburn's warehouse, you notice something is a bit different. It seems a bit... quieter. Wondering what's changed, you enter the warehouse to see everything has been packed in crates, ready to be shipped out.

"Ah! Captain Sturmfuhrer, I thought you would be stopping in today!" Qyburn waddles out form behind a particularly large crate. "I tried to catch you during the celebrations last night, but it seems it wasn't meant to be."

"Everything's so... tidy."

"Going somewhere?"

>>24796893
Oh I know. Also I can see what people are talking about. You do word things sometimes so that it sounds like your whining not really talking about what is going on. No offense meant to you personally by that nor do I think you really mean to do that. Any way off this tangent.

Yes. We don't want to many people to realize who she is so this works well enough. Main thing I"m worried about is the squad getting drunk and blowing the cover.

>>24797120
"Qyburn, what the hell happened to this place?" You ask, motioning to all the crates. "I've never seen the place so... tidy.

"Oh yes, quite tragic." Qyburn says, not looking sad at all. "With the immediate threat to their shores over, the Albion government has seen fit to let my contract expire. It seems they want to divert funds to more 'conventional' projects."

"That's terrible!" Sam gasps."What are you gonna do?"

"Oh, it's a regular thing for Darcsens like us." Qyburn laughs lightly, giving Tarin a sly wink. "Always on the move when our usefulness is done."

"So where are you going from here?" You ask.

"Oh, I suppose I'll just follow you wherever you go. You certainly don't have any shortage of excitement." Qyburn laughs. "Either way, your unit is the perfect testing ground for my new inventions!"

"I'm glad to be of service." You laugh awkwardly.

"Now come, come!" Qyburn waves you over. "I managed to finish a few things before we got the order to pack!"

"We also got some new requisition forms." Sam adds in. "You can take a look at those as well."
