Hey, MC, I wanna test something. I'm going to say one word, and I want you to respond with the very first thing that comes to mind.
The word is:
Sleep.

You, Sam, and Freyberg spend the next two weeks meticulously planning out the mission details for the attack on Solis. You would have rather attacked the fuel depot as quickly as possible, but Solis was an Imperial strongpoint, and wasn't something you could simply assault and take in a day.

So, scouts were sent out, intel was gathered. Freyberg had his men round up every Ustian partisan they could in the area and shake them down for information. It seemed like Solis was near impregnable, until you hit a breakthrough.

A few days ago, Freyberg's men came across a group of partisans who had managed to escape Solis before it was occupied by the Imps. They gave information about an old escape shaft in Ustian controlled territory that led directly to the mines under Solis. However, it was too small and dangerous to fit an army through, but perfect for small, elite unit...

"This will be dangerous, but you'll be able to bypass most of the Empire's defenses. Plus we'll stage a diversionary attack to draw their attention" Freyberg says. "The question is whether you want to handle this mission during the night or the daytime."

You frown. Daytime meant it was easier to move around, but easier to detect. Night time reduced the chance of detection, but was more dangerous in its own ways.

>>We'll strike at night.
We got those cool scopes, we should use them.

>>25349727

Shouldn't the ATR and Starlight Scope be in Alek's equipment list instead of the GSR-1?

>>25349839
>>We'll strike at night.
because a night strike is always when shit goes down.

>>25349839

This is going to be a surprise mission.
>>25349852
Yeah, I suspected as much. Carry on, you crazy motherfucker.

Lets make use of that new scope.

We got the Starlight, might as well use it.

hell lets hope they send a shit ton of men so we can test the bomb

>>25349839
>>We'll strike at night.

Time to put Tarin's skills and Alek's new scope to use.

...You know, I've been thinking that those two make a good team, think we should pair them up for an permanent basis?

>>25349839
>>We'll strike at night.
Easier to hide, its a strong point so we need any advantage we can get

also with those night scopes, spotting patrols becomes easier to avoid too

>>25349839
>We'll strike at night.
Nighttime is the right time aw yeah

>>25349904
yes, we need only add in more Elsa to make the threesome complete!

>>25349882
You also need to add Headcase's new potential.

>>25349852
well I have a day off tomorrow so COME AT ME!

>>25349904

Doesn't seem like a bad idea.

Also, yet another step on the road for the threesome!

>>25349839
Attack at night.

And guys, we have ONE night scope if I remember correctly, not a bunch.

Correct me if I am wrong though.

>>25349839
"We'll go in at night." You say. "Better for a small team like ours."

"Of course." Freyberg nods. "There's also the question of collateral damage..."

"Freyberg, I know your bosses want the ragnite fuel intact. That's the whole point of this mission."

"No, it's not that." Freyberg shakes his head. "It's a personal concern of mine. At it's peak, Solis was a town of 10,000 people. Most of them evacuated, but a fair number are still there, and no doubt the Imperials brought in additional prisoners as forced labor..."

You seem to know where this conversation is going. "You want us to rescue any civilians we find?"

"I would be immensely grateful."

We could still have Alek provide overwatch and give us information with it though.

>>25350014
>We'll do what we can.
As if there's any other choice.

>>25349904

This reminds me we need to have jager walk up to Alek and just say. "I need your help. Teach me how you woo women so well."

>>25350007
It was a Prototype so we only get one.

>>25350014
>We'll do what we can.

>>25349904

I can see the benefits, with Tarin's monstrous stealth and shanking skills would go well with Alek providing overwatch for her.

I am totally not supporting this because I ship the two...

You know, I can see it now, Elsa besotted with Alek for being the sniper that shot her, and her regarding Tarin as a rival for both because she took her down and Alek.

It shall be glorious.

"We'll do what we can." You tell Freyberg with all the conviction you can muster. You've seen what the Empire did to Gallian citizens during the invasion, and you wouldn't wish that on anybody.

"Thank you, Captain." Freyberg gives a tired smile. "You should get going. The attack is scheduled to begin in 36 hours."

It takes a few hours to get the Demons organized and moving out, but soon you're leaving Valais once again to venture into the Ustian mountains.

>>25350630
There hasn't been any people trying to pair up the characters until these recent threads. The most we had was people vying for Karla.

>>25350457
>Lemme see that briefing again

Time skip shenanigans

>>25350649
And deciding whether we should pursue Sam...and when we were attempting to hook up Heloise and Alek....

>>25350680

We were trying to ship with Sam? I honestly don't remember trying to do that.

>>25350705
Some people had mentioned it, but I think the consensus was to keep the sibling-like relationship that is currently in place.

>>25350680
no one is trying to get Jager and Sam together, as that would be incest, and besides, Jager is engaged to Karla

>>25350649
they're just the most vocal ones. I'd rather prefer Sam, Heloise or Tarin

>>25350740
I think that went out the door when she BURNED HIS FAMILY HOME DOWN.

>>25350680

Just to note, I never supported Heloise and Alek, her pic just screamed jailbait too much for my tastes...

Which might be why she has trouble finding boyfriends. Looks too much like a little sister.

I just hate the Alek threesome/foursome idea. That shit needs to stop because it's fucking retarded.

>>25350792
I will agree to that. But shipping in general...I like.

>>25350457
"Actually, let me see that briefing again." You say. It would also help pass the time spent on the trip.

"Whoa, holy shit, are you some kind of Imp body double?" Sam narrows her eyes. "The real Jager would never stoop to sparing effort to READ."

"Hey, it's really me, Sam." You laugh and take the folder from her.

Reading it over, you suppose that for such a complicated plan, the meat of it was surprisingly simple. The mines around Solis had three primary entrances that tankers could use to ferry fuel in and out. The entrances also served as openings for pipelines that fed directly to the ragnite fuel reservoirs. The primary objectives were cave in all three mine entrances and destroy the pipeline control center, which was located outside of the mines.

You sigh and lean back in your seat. Glancing over, you can see that the story of Elsa's "assault" on Alek had spread to the rest of the Demons, despite Tarin and Isolde being the most tight lipped people in the squad you know. You can see Ramirez and Brillant giving Alek knowing nudges and thumbs up, with Alek having a look of utter exasperation on his face.

"Sir, I got a situation up ahead." Julia warns over the radio.

"What've we got?" you ask.

"Civilians on the side of the road. They're trying to wave us down.

>Stop and let's see what they want.

hahahaha.

>>25350792
I agree, that and the only girl we know that likes him is Elsa while with Tarin and Heloise it could be debated they like Jager more.

I mean Heloise was upset when she realized the prank was played on her but after learning it was Jager's idea, she mellowed quite quickly.

>>25350851
No but it's pretty clear that she is not jailbait and IIRC the one that remotely looks like Jailbait is Julia, confoundly so given her experience.

Still doesn't change the fact you seem to weight them by appearance more than anything.

>>25350792

While I think talking about it is hilarious. Though so impossible because of personality it is effectively nothing but a joke.

>>25350772
My advise is always "everyone is under 15 until you see ID" Even if they look 35 they are still under 15.

>>25350885

Are you kidding me? Have you actually seen Heloise's picture?

Appearance is one thing, but jailbait is entirely another.

>>25350806
>Stop and let's see what they want.
>have Alek scan the surroundings just in case

>>25350917
Yes and I'm sure you wouldn't be as interested in Karla if MC didn't use pictures of Prussia, am I right?

The more you go on the more you prove my point about you being superficial is right.

>>25350806
Halt and see what they want, Keep heads on a swivel though, we know elite mobile units are oprerating in the area now, wouldn't be a surprise if they were trying to misdirect us with spec ops teams.

>>25350955
Honestly, I don't care too much about the pictures. Gotta use your imagination.

>>25350917

That's the type of logic people use to try and send people to jail over dating someone who looks younger then they are.

Though honestly this conversation path is a little pointless since we don't control those characters and so can't define anything about what they do.

>>25350955

I love how you strawman my argument by involving Karla despite me saying nothing about it.

Why yes, appearance happens to factor into my decisions as well as personality, big whoop. My point is that she looks too young for my tastes, if you don't share that, fine, good for you. But my inclinations will reflect my impression, and really I'm not that too interested in her, and not because of just appearance, but I don't see anything particular special about her personality (though she's a plucky girl, I'll give her that).

>>25350806
>Stop and let's see what they want.

We can't bring them with us, but we can point them in the direction of a spot to wait for us.

"Alright, hold up and we'll see what these civvies want." You say. "But keep an eye out. It might be an ambush."

You hear a round of affirmatives and you can see them beginning to scan your surroundings

"Is there something I can help you with?" You ask, making sure your shotgun is within easy reach.

"Well, rumor has it, the Ustian army is planning to make a move on Solis." One man, most likely the group's leader, steps forward. You notice a makeshift eyepatch over his eye. "We were wondering if there was any truth to that."

Exactly, I'm sold on those three due to what I've heard of and from them. Though I see Sam's set to get brushed off as a sister, I suppose that's the fate of any reliable long time female friend more often than not.

... You do realise these people could be spies? or infiltrators, right?

I mean, it could be our probing/investigation got the attention of Imperial Intelligence. they're trying to figure out where we're heading since they know there's an attack, just not where

so we're at an even five for five

>>25351447
They also know about the path that we NEED to go through if we don't want to be found out.

>>25351447
I dont know, the knight here found Elsa's actions 'Dishonorable'
I dont think he's very sniper, spy friendly.

OH SHIT YEAH. That reminds me of a thought i had yesterday. Ok, So, Elsa was also an assassin for the Empire, Within their own borders. She gives us some names of people she took down, and we crosscheck it with Parker...
She happens to have taken down any troublesome Belkan knights at all, at behest of the emperor? What do you think the grandmaster of the belkan knights shall think?

>>25351518

You mean Karla?

Dimly, very dimly.

>>25351447
If they know such a thing, I think they'd be more likely to hide the fact they know and plan an ambush than be out in the open as part of some plot.

>>25351518
just because it's dishonorable didn't stop Elsa from deploying.

>>25351554

Well, she was due to be rotated out shortly.

>>25351554
He might have meant to use it as evidence to get Karla to defect.

>>25351570
she was still used. Just because a spy is dishonorable and bound to be rotate out doesn't mean he isn't going to be used.

>>25351447

"Sorry, I wouldn't know anything about that." You shrug.

"Shame." The man shrugs in return. "Just be careful. These mountains can be very dangerous to the unwary."

"Well, that's good. WE can be very dangerous to the unwary." You reply without hesitation.

The man gives a good, hearty, genuine laugh. "And so you are! Well then, best of luck to you, then!"

And with that, the man and his group melt away into the mountain brush.

"What the hell was that about?" Sam frowns.

"I think we just politely refused their help." You shrug. "Never did like having to talk in circles."

The rest of your trip continues without any interruptions or problems. Within the hour, you come across an ancient looking mine entrance, carved into the mountain wall. It looks as if hasn't been maintained in a long time.

"Well, THAT looks inviting..." Sam sighs.

"Hey Captain, I think I can fit Fenrir though that entrance, but... I don't know. It seems a little unstable..."

Except she was following her orders and what she saw as duty to the Empire, her subjects (especially loyal knights, of whom a few would be friends) being subject to clandestine assassinations by the Empire would garner a very angry reaction. Hell, it might be even enough for Belka to attempt to secede.

>>Leave the vehicles. We'll continue on foot.

Best to take the risks for this one.

>>25351808
I'd say it wouldn't be enough on its own, but it, combined with any other evidence we find of the emperor being a douche, would seriously make her think.

Combined with Erik being a political powerhouse, Belka's independence from the empire is almost guaranteed, its only a matter of when, not if, and I'd rather it happen before the final push against the emperor

>>Leave the vehicles. We'll continue on foot.

>>25351872
>Eric is a political powerhouse
Since fucking when? He just beat up some dude who insulted Karla. How does that make him a political powerhouse? If anything he would be seen as the opposite, a violent brute who would not hesitate to use force to get his way.

Eh it would have been nice to have guides, but its fine.

>>25351775
"Julia, Headcase, you two stay behind and keep an eye on the entrance. We can't risk the mine caving down on us."

"Hey, coffee break? Coffee break!" Headcase says happily.

"Oh, so you think Fenrir here is too fat for your liking? FINE." Julia huffs.

"Tankers." You sigh quietly to yourself. "Alright, Demons let's move!"

The mine is dark and dusty, but thankfully free of Imps. It's also fortunately a single tunnel, so it's impossible to get lost. After a few minutes of careful advancement, you come across a large, well lit chamber, meaning you've reached the main mine.

"Okay, we need to figure out what to do." Sam rolls out the map again. "Before we destroy the pipeline, we need to plan the charges on the mine entrances. Freyberg's attack begins in two hours. We can either approach the entrances from the outside but it's much faster. Or, we could sneak through the mine tunnels. Which will take longer but is more secure."

So, a politician? I mean sure, most politicos have OTHER people to use force for them, but never underestimate just how immoral and monstrous politicians can be. Remember that it was politicians who started both World Wars, and kept the Cold War going so long. The only way to prevent it from happening again, is to create Un Monde Sans Frontières, A World With No Boundaries.

No, they have their tamed wolves rip his throat out in secret instead. Sir Erik Schnee has too much honor to be a politician, and I owe him an apology for my insult.
The time has come for this to stop. The age of old men talking and young men dying must end. Between the Demons of Randgriz, and the Knights of Belka, we have the power to end it. To ensure that never again will one be forced to go to war against a loved one simply because some politician wills it from on high.

You squad moves carefully up to the first mine entrance.Fortunately, there doesn't seem to be anybody down in these tunnels. The ragnite reservoirs down here don't require that much maintenance, besides regular inspections of the pipes. Unfortunately, you come across a pair of workers doing just that.

"Whoa, hey, hold up there." You say, raising your arms to show you aren't a threat. "We're not here to hurt you."

"Wait... you're not Imps?" The first worker asks.

"Idiot, they're not even wearing Imperial uniforms!" The second worker smacks him in the back of the head.

"Hey! You were just as scared as I was!"

"Hey!" You hiss. "You keep this quiet, and nobody has to get hurt, all right?"

we don't know if they're imp or civ. If they're imp, letting them go could allow them to alert the defenders. If civ, they may let it slip by accident.

I doubt it, their behavior is too believable for them to be actors.

Obviously you don't know any good actors. But I agree, I think they're civvies. However, I don't want to risk the possibility of them alerting anyone, so I tying them down here for now is the best option.

"Brillant, you're up. Tail them and make sure they don't get into any trouble." You say.

"Got it, sir." Brillant salutes and takes off after the two fleeing workers.

It's another five minutes of careful navigation before you come across the first mine entrance. However, you see there's a rather heavy guard outside. A light tank and a full squad of Imperial soldiers casually milling about at the entrance. Every once in a while, a tanker truck will come or go.

"Freyberg's attack hits in one hour." Sam informs you.

ok, change my mind
>Try and plant the charges discreetly.

can things go BOOM now?

>>25353676
Fortunately, the Imp guards are all stationed outside the the mouth of the mine, meaning it's perfectly possible for you to plant the charges without them noticing. The only complication is if a tanker truck decides to arrive, though those come through on predictable intervals, so they should be easy enough to avoid.

Just two ragnite charges should be enough to collapse the entrance. They're timed to go off in two hours once they're set, though the timing can be modified to better synchronize detonation times.

One the one hand, you can send on person in to plant the charges. It would take longer, but they would be harder to spot. Or you could send two people to plant both charges at once.

There's also the question of WHO. For example, Tarin was the stealthiest, but Heloise was the most knowledgeable on explosives.
