Yesssss
First time I've ever seen the thread as only the OP

>>27397076

"Guilty as charged, I'm afraid." Another giggle, this time terminating into a sigh. "It was quite fun, to be honest. - making the girl look like your precious Tomoe Mami. I treated it like an art project, you know. A splash of color here, some careful embroidery to get the details right...and, of course, a few choice cuts here and there to make things neat and tidy."

Mine trashes in your grip, here, nearly dislodging you - and you absently slam him against the wall again to make him stop. He does so well enough, his forehead impacting against brushed steel with a gong-like sound, and he falls limp in your grasp with a groan.

You reply just as you let go of Mine, allowing the yakuza representative to fall in a boneless heap on the dusty floor. Is it at all reasonable, then, that you're talking to the Prophet?

"...How did you...?" The voice seems surprised, but recovers quickly enough. "...No. As flattering as it may be, I am not The One Who Sees The Ten Thousand Futures. She is pure, and has yet to stain her hands with innocent blood. We do it for her instead, as her vanguard. Willingly and wholeheartedly, we will shed blood in her name, to protect her and this world from you."

...It sounds like you're up against another nutjob, here. Someone who gets off on murder like it's some sort of fetish, or something. Bringing to mind another psycho that cut your arm off and then got reduced to hamburger immediately afterwards a few lifetimes ago.

How do you respond?

>>27397097
>How do you respond?

"You still haven't answered the 3 questions I asked you first."

>>27397097
[x] Why so caught up in yourself, anyway? While flattering, it does seem a bit much, all these fancy mystical titles and senseless murders - which, by the way, are somewhat undermining any effect her little nickname for you might possibly have.

>>27397097

[X] "If you're trying to get on my shit list, you have succeeded. You have something that belongs to me. I want it back. "

Don't die, Osaka!

>>27397097
[x]"..I see. Does this precious One Who Sees approve of you murdering innocent girls so you can have petty grudge matches? Or is bloodshed fine with her as long as she's not the one doing it?"
This mook may have given us some info here. If the underlings are doing things on their own initiative, maybe we could take advantage of this later.

>>27397097
"Are you going to tell me your name then or should I refer you as "The Prophet's fanclub"? Also if you want to protect the world and your Prophet, why didn't you try killing Kharn first? That's the biggest threat to any female on the planet, especially blondes."

>>27397097

[X] "Your presents were anything but neat and tidy, to much blood and the poor girl's hair wasn't even dyed properly."

"I want my subordinate's Soul gem back, intact."

So, when she says the prophet is innocent, do they mean 'hasn't killed anyone (innocent) herself...but knows about all the stuff we do in their name' or 'she's completely clueless'.

Actually, considering the wording...she might not be a meguca at all (yet). Even regular MGs in non-insane officios are gonna spill the blood of innocents once in a while.

>>27397140
>>27397152

This.

>>27397097
Be honest here, "You must have some serious fetish for a dramatic flair because you went to all this trouble just to call me with a hostage. I don't care if you're the fucking blessed lady herself, right now I'm on a god damn job, so why don't you put my sniper's soul gem back up her ass where it should be and then we can talk like civilized people at a neutral meeting ground of your choice. You can even pick a god damn barrier, I don't know who the hell you are, but you seem to know a little about me, as such you'd know I am a bit new on the job and I don't want my reputation turned to shit because some 2-bit meguca who think she amounts to more than a stain on my boot wants to make a statement to me. If you're in the stadium right now, fantastic, lets sort this out here and now so I can get back to work dealing with real nightmares, like Idols."

>>27397097
Another whack-job to tango with. I'd had some hope she was just ruthless but rational after last thread, but diplomacy probably won't work that well now.

>>27397076
>[x] Why must the world be protected from me exactly? I mean, sure I murder people for a living, but there are many people that do so....I still want to know who you are and what you want from this whole thing.

>>27397097
[x] "Your beloved Prophet wouldn't need protecting if you hadn't threatened Mami's safety. Tell you what, let's make a trade. My subordinate's Soul Gem, intact, for the identity of my source."

>>27397159
Could be a Nanoha's A's kind of situation.

For all the precautions and paranoia surrounding his presence, Mine sure didn't end up very relevant to shit going down. Guess we really are our own worst enemies.

>>27397233
Red herring antagonist?

>>27397226
That would really kick the hornet's nest.
>Who told you of the Prophet
>The Blessed Lady
>Yeah nah fuck you and your lies
>No man I'm telling the truth. Did you know she lives in my time-stop world?

And then in-fighting because The Blessed Lady works with the heretics

>>27397236
Well, he's still an antagonist, just maybe overestimated his ambition/foolhardy courage a bit.

Though it's too early to let our guard down, don't want to deal with the fanatics to find Ruri gone and a 'got you suckers' note from him instead.

>>27397226
Haha, this would be awesome. Sadly, I doubt they'd agree since, yeah, that sounds like an obvious lie (and it's not like there's anything to stop Chiaki from lying either).

>>27397076
[x]"Well, ok. Could you tell me why exactly you think I want to kill your prophet? And how exactly taking my subordinates hostage is supposed to stop me from doing that? You're not exactly helping your boss out by pissing me off, you know."

Leave mine, get out into the open and rendevous with the others.

>>27397270
this.
theres literally no reason why the fuck we would kill someone unless someone needs a killing.

also i bet these retards are probably talking bout kirika and shit and that fucking oriko is said prophet.

>>27397226
>>27397252
Yeah, I'm kinda liking this, but I really think this would make her furious.

>>27397334

Oriko makes sense if she keeps her canon set. She has a motive and was a civilian until recently so it would fit with the "No innocent blood" comment

[x] This is the best resonse.

>>27397097

[x] Keep her talking; She took the position of one of our snipers, that gives us the advantage. Time stop and run to every spot we had covered.

>>27397366
Maybe, but by the time we tell her, everyone will be in the stadium's backstage (Because who the fuck says what the bad guy wants to hear before they get the hostages safe)

>>27397375
The fact that she fits so well is one of the reasons it feels iffy to me, too easy so to speak.

However, I do think that if we don't get any answers in the course of cleaning things up here, paying Kirika a visit might be in order afterwards (somewhere isolated of course).

>>27397424
Actually, did she?
Ayumu was coming back to her position after taking out the limo; she could have been captured on her way back, when she was out of position and not watched by any of the others.

>>27397495
So it's our fault. That's good. We don't have to discipline anyone.

>>27397495

This actually makes perfect sense.

I'm still worried for Osaka. Don't die, Osaka!

>>27397495
>>27397511

to be fair, all she had to do was shoot the tires and instead she turned it in to Swiss cheese.

>>27397525
To be fair to Ayumu, she still only took 4 shots; she's a Vindicare, so her 4 shots were more like RPG's than .50 cal shots. The state of the limo doesn't have relevance to the fact that she had to get out of position in order to make the shots.

>>27397540
Maybe she just used explosive rounds. Makes lotsa holes with just 4 rounds in a civilian car...

>>27397551
>in a civilian car...
I'm fairly sure that it was an armoured limousine, though I haven't gone back in the archives to check.
I am under the impression that Ayumu used some of her Vindicare magic rather than just mundane ammunition (explosive or AP).

You growl out your reply just as you stalk out of Mine's impromptu interrogation room, gesturing towards Mine with the Golden Desert Eagle as you pass by the security detail waiting outside. She does love to hear herself talk, doesn't she? Does she get off on being overly theatrical, or is overacting horribly something she wished for instead?

"...Charming, Murderer. Exactly what I expected of you. Absolutely no appreciation for drama, for the beautiful sadness of the moment. I believe that, besides the boon of ridding the world of its most despicable peril, I will also be providing society at large an extremely valuable service by killing you. Society ill needs a Magical Girl with no affectation for the finer things, much less a Warmaster."

Ignoring the obvious bait, you remind her that for all the talking she's been doing, she hasn't yet finished answering all your questions. If she's looking for this conversation to get any further, then she'll need to give you something more than titles and cryptic bullshit. Hell, if you needed any more of that, then you'd just fiddle with your phone's diary app for a bit.

"...It always makes me die a little bit, inside, knowing that you're the kind of shit I have to deal with, in order to protect her." And just like that, the dignified accent and the lyrical vocabulary is gone, like a switch flipped. "The name is Lucius, Chiaki Matsuda. Now you know the name the Prophet gave me, and the name of the one who will bring you to justice."

Lucius? So, like Lucy, then? Or does she sleep with a lot of people?

"I don't--" The reply is barked, almost snarled, before it's cut off. "...No. Lucius. Say it properly. I know you have a hard time with that unrefined tongue of yours, but please do make the effort to."

Fine. Whatever. Now, what will it take for her to give you back your sniper's Soul Gem and then fuck off to whatever hole she came from?

"...This isn't really the time for you to make demands, you realize?" She sighs, the exhalation of air ruined with static. "But very well, here are my terms, if you want your underling's Soul Gem that badly. Stand your security detail down - and when I say that, I mean your Vindicare Squad AND the foolish little Callidus you've got bumbling around - and come to the pitcher's mound at the stadium's baseball diamond. Alone, please. And once I confirm this, I will approach you myself and make the exchange personally."

You very nearly laugh at this. Is...is this bitch serious? Does she think you're that stupid, to fall for a setup like that?

"Please. Such bald-faced deception is expected more from your ilk." A cackle. "No, no, Matsuda. I will grudgingly admit that you've been prudent with this concert's security. Predictable, but prudent. Your little sniper put up quite a fight, too - she killed one of my squad before I could execute the killing blow." She sighs, here. "Poor Amelia. And she was so confident, so full of herself."

Lucius clears her throat. "In any case, Matsuda. I have allowed what's left of my strike team - the strike team I had planned to attack your client with, to humiliate you in front of the entire world by executing your client in mid-song - to mingle with the crowd. At the moment, they are untransformed. Upon my signal, they will transform and self-destruct their Soul Gems - and you know full well the kind of damage that can cause. Whether I give the signal or not depends on you, Matsuda."

The fuck. If she's got walking time bombs in the crowd, then why doesn't she just go ahead with it, then? Why go through all this trouble?

"Because this is my Plan B, Matsuda." The smile in Lucius' voice is almost palpable. "Single, honorable combat. You and me. With the entire world watching - and to a rather catchy tune, at that."

[2/3]

This bitch sounds dumb. Or is this some sort of plan to see what golden weapons we have..?

>>27397888

...So she's a fan, then?

"Oh, of course." Lucius laughs. "I have a shrine of her in my quarters. And yes, I accepted this assignment knowing full well I'd have to end her career myself. But I took comfort in the fact that artists such as herself are only truly appreciated once they've been murdered."

That's...hnh. Well. You can't argue with that.

"Quite. But enough of that. Those are my terms, Matsuda. Ten minutes from now, Ruri-sama will sing my favorite song - Waltz of the Spider Lilies. You should be at the pitcher's mound, alone, the moment the first stanza leaves her lips. Or I will give the signal." A moment. "Oh, and I assume you're smart enough to realize that I will also give the signal if you try to evacuate the premises with your client. She may escape this unscathed, but her fans - and her reputation - certainly won't."

The well-spoken murderer giggles one last time. "I look forward to killing you, Chiaki Matsuda." You then hear the tell-tale click of someone switching off from the frequency.

"...Jesus Christ, she's just as annoying as Kirika." You hear Sayaka suddenly spit, her voice full of venom. "It's a trap, Murderface. Another one. Don't tell me you're stupid enough to fall for it."

What do you do?

>>27397888

Magical girl suicide bombers.
Sweet mother of mercy.

The only problem I see is that if we win..they can still kill themselves. Though it's tempting to murder her in a duel.

>>27397915
[x] Call Kyuubey, tell him to get on the horn with the other Incubators, and get them all to remote-control any of their girls at the concert and make them leave, now.
[x] Then, timestop, and ask Pinky for help. We'll owe her a favour, of course. A candlelit dinner, perhaps?

>>27397888

My only question is whether we pound her into paste with cute bangle's help or convince Kirika to help us bisect her with a single vertical slash.

>>27397915
"See about getting some of our squad to un-transform and wander the crowd looking for the bitches. Sayaka you stay near the client and keep her protected. I'm going to ring up QB and notify him of what's up"

>>27397956
I believe that can count as an evac order.. megucas make up a large chunk of the audience.

>>27397915
[x] "It's a trap, but the alternative is to have an unknown number of Magical Girls witch out in the middle of this stadium. And I heard from the Yak that even the 10th said 'fuck this shit, we're out'. If even the 10th doesn't want to deal with this, then it's real, and I can't ignore it.
"I have to go along with it, for now."

We have to go along with it for now; multiple, stacked Witch Barriers that can be activated in less than 30 seconds (going by how fast Jyuubei was able to force a Soul Gem to self-destruct)? Sayaka wouldn't be able to get Ruri halfway out of the stadium before getting caught in all the Barriers.
At least we have Yuu and the Golden Deagle as aces for this fight.

>>27397915

Shit. I wanted to see if we could get our culexus down to shut the girls down but a biker chick in full regalia will be instantly recognisable and i'm not even sure if she can shut down so many across such a wide area.

I think we need the golden katana for this.

Being proactive on this one might hurt. Don't forget she most likely has access to our channels too.

Maybe we should just go with the flow

>>27397972
She said not to evac Ruri or ourself, which we have no intention of doing.
Pulling the off-duty megucas out filters out non-hostile soul gems; any left can simply be sniped at Enishi's direction.

>>27397915

[X] "What would you have me do then? get hundreds of innocent fans killed?"

having this spill out to the audience is not something we want.

>>27397915
[x] "Of course I am, but not quite dumb enough to follow all her directions. No way is she planning for 'honorable combat' - even if she was that overconfident, there's no way she'd give me enough credit to think I fight fair. I'm coming backstage now, we'll discuss strategy on the way. 10 minutes is a lot of time, after all."

Okay I'm thinking, since the MGs don't need to have bodies to be exploded, it's gonna be hard to think up any way to prevent them from 'sploding if she decides she wants them to go boom. Unless we can figure out a way to reliably identify them all in <10 minutes and smash their gems.

At first I was confused and wondering if soulgem self-destruction was even a thing, but then I remembered that's what Kyouko killed Sayaka's witch with in canon. Yeah, let's try to avoid that happening several times over in a packed fucking stadium.

>>27397915

[x] Call Kyubei.

How fast can he get us Kirika's sword or Khan's axes?

>>27397972
>I believe that can count as an evac order
I concur.
Even if it's not a general evac for most of the civilians, there's enough Magical Girls, with detectable magical signatures, that such a large movement would be discernible.
Too likely for Lucius to be able to notice it, and for her to tell her MG's to witch out.

>>27397915

[x]"Are you for real? You.. This.. This whole plan relies on your hope that for some reason I give a shit about a girl who got herself bested by a 3rd Rate Magical Girl like you and that I care about the what happens to all the shiteaters in the audience?
You actually think, that the real Ruri is still up on the stage while I am satlling you by talking to you? That you are actually still in control? Dont you even know how I am? I have killed three dozens of people like you just because you mocked Tomoe Mami and you think that killing you is the worst I have to offer you and the rest of the girls?"
[x] Intimidate/Bluff the shit out of her.

>>27397982

[X] I agree with this. Make contingency plans for an evacuation, but don't cause a panic. Play along and fight this girl.

>>27398000
She's only managed to intercept one of our Vindicares as opposed to the whole damn squad. It'd be prudent to switch to another frequency though, if Chiaki/ Kyosuke had made any contigencies for that.

And, perhaps, if we're lucky, a wild card.

What if we call in literally our entire Officio?
This warrants it, we now have a whole stadium of innocents at stake.
If she blows up her magical girls, we have an entire army of professional Witch-hunters to shut them down in record time.

>>27398015

This. They're not Witch Bombs. Kyubey's grief bomb merely made Mirai and Chiaki Witch out while opening a stacked barrier. Bad, but not unsolvable.

She's threatening to do what Kyouko did to Oktavia. Could basically kill everything in the stadium.

It's not Ayumu who's a hostage anymore, but the entire concert.

>>27398057
>Americans hate terrorists.
I have one better:
Call First Officio, sic the First on Rogue Magical Girls.

If there's one thing the Incubators hate, it's their little Meguca's going rogue.

>>27398039

That doesn't solve much but get our own girls killed since when such a huge force shows up, it'll be instantly clear what happened and they can't kill all of them that fast before they detonate.

>>27398014
>>27398081

Yeah. We really need to get Kyuubey on the horn for this one. (Without Lucius tapping into our line, that is.) The least we could do is give him the courtesy of knowing that things have gone FUBAR.

>>27398057
I don't think letting wendy go at it with people related to Lucius is a good idea.
There's that bit where you become him if you take pleasure in killing him. The rabbits are a bit too sadistic to do it and get away clean.

Timestop.

Give Pinky our best.

Steal all the Soulgems.

Give Pink our promise to come back soon. Pinky promise. Ha ha.

Show up at the ambush with the soulgems of a dozen rouge magical girls. Show Lucy what messing with Muderface really means.

>>27397915
[x]"I don't know where one digs up so many meguca willing to kill themselves, but I'm not willing to risk assuming it's a bluff." Then, switch fucking frequencies. After that, we might consider trying a bait and switch. When everyone goes backstage before the main song, we can get Enishi to use some Callidus ability to make us and Sayaka switch places. Then have Sayaka fighter her on the field and we can stay off to the side and snipe if anything goes wrong.

The only other viable option I can think of is to find a good vantage point, let them go through with it, and shoot everyone who seems like they might be about to transform.

But the odds of f pulling that off are probably minimal

>>27398127
Lucius knows of Enishi's involvement though, and may have countermeasures set up for that.

Of course, she'd be crazy-fucking-prepared if she had something like that at all.

Did we ever know if there was a mole in the security team?

>>27398159
There's always a mole in the security team.
And if you find the mole, then that was bait to make you think you found the mole and relax your guard.

>>27398159
>Did we ever know if there was a mole in the security team?
Has Neco been posting?

>>27398159
have you noticed NECO's mysterious disappearance?

>>27398186
Not for a while, no.

>>27398191
Eh, but if she operates on in-universe real time, it's only been a few minutes, hasn't it? She could just be watching the concert.

>>27398170
Then that would make switching frequencies useless, unless only Kyosuke knows what it is.

Inb4 Shadowruns saying Kyosuke is the mole.

>>27398186
>>27398191
If that's true, we're chewing Sayaka out once this shit is over with.

Alternatively, Lucius nabbed her and extracted said info.

We've got magical girl assets in the crowd, can we use them to help mitigate the explosions?

Alternately, jam all communications so they can't give a kill order. That's the other plan.

Now, if I was her, I'd just have rigged the pitcher's mound with explosives. Single honourable combat with sufficient high explosives enough to kill/incapacitate.

[x] Call Kyubey. We've got suicide magical girls ready to explode, should we exfiltrate the client and our people, and forget the reputation and her fans, or do we make an attempt to save everyone?

We don't really care about the fans that much. Our sniper's a write-off for now. Mainly is the issue worth risking OUR magical girls and the client? That's the bosses call.

Okay, let's rationalize this. Obviously, the whole 'protecting the prophet' thing she claims to be all about isn't her real motivation, because even this plan alone is a terrible way of going about it, but her original one - killing Ruri to make Chiaki look bad - and making the Mami look-a-likes are both about a thousand times dumber in that case. At least this current one might kill Chiaki instead of just enrage her. And yet, doing it for 'the prophet', and her general but unexplained hatred, is about all we've gotten out of her so far. Finding out who she is/why she's got it in for Chiaki is probably going to help a lot in working out way through this.

If this is Oriko, I've got no idea who the prophet might turn out to be. Unless this is a 'the prophet is Mami that's why they'll 'kill' Mami because she won't be Mami any more, see, hyuk hyuk aren't we good we've got more riddles coming up just wait' kind of situation. But you'd think Chiaki might remember Oriko's voice, and I don't see why she'd bother hiding her name/identity. But I also can't think of anyone else who'd have it in for Chiaki this bad. So...someone from Murderface era maybe? In which case there's not much thinking and reasoning we can do to find out where they're coming from.

>>27398228
Oriko is the prophet; this girl is neither.

>We've got magical girl assets in the crowd
They're not necessarily our assets.
And no, they can't mitigate the explosions; that's like trying to mitigate 50lbs of C4 going off with just your body.

>jam all communications
The signal doesn't have to come by radio. It could be magical, or even something as simple as a flare. No guarantee of success, and unlikely since it's an obvious first response.

Attempting to exfiltrate will only result in the principal dying partway to the exit rather than on stage.

>>27398159
Personally, I think the whole team is wiped, Enishi is probably the only one left alive, and they're going to try and turn her because a Calli is far more useful than a vindi. Vindis are just glorified turrets, calidus are dangerous.

I think if we find Ayumu, we'll find NECO also chained, cuffed, and Ball gagged as well.

That said, I think we should go out on the field, this bitch may claim to be ready for us. But if Wendy is any smart, and still wants a shot at us, alive or dead. She would have to intervene before lucius sic's her Majideen on us. Either she'll rescue us, kill the bombers then fight us herself, dash in and burst into tears while holding our hands, or take us with her in a similar ploy.

I still say go for it, Lucy may have an advantage on us, but we have an advantage on her.

BE AS FUCKING UNCOUTH AS POSSIBLE, drive her up the walls so hard she makes a mistake, you all read her reaction to the phone call. We might be able to goad her into walking into her own trap.

You, Sir, are insulting both Chiaki and Mami. Joking.

In any case, getting her riled is a good idea. She's not as sophisticated as she thinks herself to be.

I still think we should call the bastard cat somehow, maybe he can lend a paw or two.

>>27398205
It's entirely possible they nabbed NECO to tap into our commnet. After all who is the only one obsessed with...well who was the ONLY one prior to Lucy that was obsessed with someone enough to want to stalk them and/or tap all their phones and other communications?


If NECO is still alive after all this, I say beat the shit out of her for compromising us, then contract her. Let her have that wish of hers, I'd love to see a weekday afternoon MG soap opera.

>>27397915
[x] Call her bluff.

Bitch ain't gonna do shit.

The whole "protecting the prophet" line sounds like a lie. If this really is a girl who can see the future and is out for revenge, antagonizing Murderface like this is just making herself a bigger target.

I'm guessing the prophet gave Lucius a part of her plan and now she's acting on her own initiative and "for the sake of the prophet". Looking at it from the point of view of a fanatic: "if I succeed ahead of schedule, I will be exalted!"

That's the vibe I got from her speech, at least.

She's either a rogue or a Red Herring the Prophet sent after us. Just saying.

Yeah, but in that case there's no clues as to why this bitch hates Chiaki so much.

>>27398336
I'm beginning to have my doubts as to the validity of that "Lucius the Eternal" title, no one that stupid could possibly last that long. I suppose if Oriko was planning on recruiting Lucy for just this moment, then it's reasonable, but I do believe Chiaki is guaranteed to survive this moment, not without doing anything of course, but we're destined for a meeting with the chosen bitch-witch-one-whatever.

I'm voting for this >>27398275
Walk out, cussing, spitting, taking a piss standing up, draw lucy out in a fit of seething rage so red she can't tell it from her own blood.

I bet Lucius is just a cunt that's somehow related to the squads of Eversors that Girl A killed.

For those unfamiliar with the Madoka sidestory materials, I suggest you head over to wiki.puella-magi.net and look up Oriko Magica, and read the descriptions of each chapters. Spoilers, obviously, but probably critical to our understanding of the meta.

Oriko wants to kill Madoka to prevent her from becoming Kriemhild Gretchen. Which is hilarious in this timeline for obvious reasons.

>>27398336
It feels like the two are somewhat unrelated. If this really was about protecting/helping the prophet then they would go for plans that at least had a chance of killing Chiaki, while simultaneously not being traceable. But their three plans so far amounts to: piss off Chiaki for no gain with fake Mami heads, piss off Chiaki for little gain by killing Ruri and making her look incompetent (abandoned), and possibly kill off Chiaki...but implicating the prophet in the process. Those aren't the plans of someone for whom the prophet's well-being is their top priority. More like those of someone with a bone to pick, who happens to be allied with or serving the prophet to further that goal.

[x]Stop time

Its as simple as that. We can mark it as some sort of terror act.
She is working for the person who wants to kill by thinking that she can hold the audience or another Meguca as a weakness against us.
So we just have to show her how wrong she is.

No, if that is the reason for the breach of our comms and as yet still possible TMF, NECO is going to learn what violence is, it's a great teacher. After she is FORCED to contract FOR US, we can teach her further.

Sayaka will hate us for it, but as I said, if NECO is the reason for us, and I'm looking back at the previous thread where she said that she would "make sure she stays out of trouble" add Sayaka too the fucking list too, Sayaka can teach NECO how to regenerate kneecaps and we can teach Sayaka what it means to forget your duties to play Idol on stage instead of doing her fucking job.

>>27398453
Which is why we're chewing out our Equerry as well. Contracting NECO seems a little too extreme, if only because Kyuubey seems to ascribe to the Philosophy of actually taking care of his Megucas somewhat as opposed to his dickish (by comparison) canon self

>>27398453
>reason for the breach of our comms
How is Lucius nabbing Ayumu when she was out of position on our orders, and then taking her comm-earpiece and using it to talk with us, NECO's fault?

In fact, since NECO is still in the crowd, and during the entire concert has not Chirped anything that a person at the concert itself (such as Lucius and her group) would not see for themselves, just as hundreds of other fans have likely done, why are we even talking about NECO at all?

>>27398477
>Goddamn if that wouldn't be a surprise, Chiaki doesn't even remember it personally.
It especially makes sense what with how prissy and uptight that entire officio was

>>27398477
>She may want to un-fuck whatever Chiaki screwed up in this timeline.
By killing Chiaki? That will just make everything worse.
I think we can actually talk Lucius down. She seemed surprised that we knew of the Prophet before we met; it is entirely likely that the Prophet herself does not know the Blessed Lady's secret.
SHE'S A WITCH! A WITCH!

>>27398524
Some seem to think that NECO is the theoretical mole that I was asking about. I have no solid grounding as to whether or not there is a mole, only running on my own Shadowruns.

It really is better to screen all magical girls and nab their soul gems than that. Do we have a way to detect magical girls? Grabbing all of them would probably be a better choice than KILL EVERYONE.

You continue walking, pushing past a gaggle of extras doing their level best to pull off their ridiculous costumes to pull on even gaudier ones. Of course you're know it's a goddamn trap, Lucius practically admitted as such. But the alternative is letting a bunch of civilians get killed - and you're not going to let your first mission as Warmaster end up with that kind of collateral damage. Besides, what would Mami say?

"...Ngh. Well, at least your heart's in the right place for once," Sayaka grumbles. "Anyway, we should probably come up with something and fast - not much time left before her favorite song." A moment. "For someone completely fucking insane, though, she's got taste."

What's that song about, anyway? Waltz of the Spider Lilies?

"Slow song, with bits of uptempo here and there. Kind of like a Nocturne. Someone mourning about how their Magical Girl girlfriend didn't come back one night."

Apt. ...Wait, is it still safe to use this frequency? Lucius could still be listening--

"I heard her sign off, Matsuda-sama," comes Enishi's breathless reply. "I've remotely disabled Ayumu's headset just in case, though. We should be secure enough to plan." A moment's silence. "M-Matsuda-sama, I apologize for this lapse of security, I should have been able to--"

You shake your head, before cutting her off. No. No apologies right now. The mission comes first - any finger-pointing or blaming will have to wait until after the debriefing. Right now, you want everyone on the same page on what to do before your ten minutes are up.

"...Very well. I am at your disposal, Matsuda-sama. Please use me as you will." The contrite tone in Enishi's voice is quickly replaced by a grim, determined one. "My Warmaster's will be done."

"Likewise." Sayaka replies, after a moment's hesitation. "They don't sound like they're going for Ruri, anyway."

[1/2]

>>27398613
>>27398647

It may be possible that a magical girl may have developed a means to let girls break their contracts, or fake a witchout somehow and then obscure them.

Alternately, maybe there's an Incubator that just doesn't care if some girls leave the Officio to do other things.

>>27398660

"We're listening, Miss Matsuda." comes Kyosuke's grim reply. "Miss Kirishima's safety is paramount, but I'm sure she would want us to help protect her fans, too."

"...Squad Hiryu reporting." A tearful voice comes on the frequency, but one with barely-kept rage. "Warmaster, Ayumu was one of ours, and we should've been watching her more carefully when she relocated. It's our fault, but we're not going to screw up again. Tell us what to do, and we'll do it. We'll get those bitches back for Ayumu-chan."

...Well. Seems like everyone's more or less at your disposal, here. Good to know.

What kind of plan do you come up with?

[]Exfiltration. Have them be prepared to get Ruri out the moment something goes wrong. The casualties will be regrettable, but at least the client will be safe.
[]Contigency. Have Enishi coordinate with Squad Hiryu and Kyosuke's men to check for any suspicious Magical Girls about to transform, and have them detain or kill on sight while you fight Lucius.
[]Subterfuge. Have Enishi disguise Sayaka as you while you keep Ruri guard.
[]Have them be on guard while you call Kyuubey and ask for Muramasa to be delivered to you.
[]Other.

>>27398624
>Do we have a way to detect magical girls?
Yes, Enishi can detect them.
But so far, we have not been shown to be able to do it.

Also, Soul Gem self-destruct can still be done by the Soul Gem itself; the Magical Girl's mind and soul are in the Soul Gem, not the meat-body that they can just resleave into. Grabbing all the Soul Gems would just leave us holding ALL the bombs that can still detonate themselves as soon as they realize they're cut off from their bodies, which would be pretty easy for them to realize.

>Muramasa if we don't have Yuu on hand.
We're wearing the Golden Bangles right now, so this shouldn't be a problem.

Whether the Soul Gem can detonate on its own or not is debatable. Kyouko physically manipulated her gem by kissing it to get it to detonate, and it fits in with the comments about body and soul being dependent on each other.

The body dies without the Soul Gem and the Soul Gem dies and blinks out if separated from the body for too long.

Fits with the treatment Midori was given as a prisoner. Her Soul Gem was attuned to her body a few times while she was in the silent room to keep either from dying.

>>27398677

To be clear the crowd is in the bleachers/stands, or on the field itself right now? Or both?

We're in a stadium, I'm assuming it's the same stadium as before, it wouldn't do to be standing there like a badass in the middle of a moshpit though, not that we would be moshed, rather the other way around. Perhaps if we could tell the stage boss that a super secret surprise is coming out to the field and the people need to back off for it? We're just lacking in detail on a lot of things here.

I would also like Chiaki to try her whisper trick when we're walking outside, see if she can whisper to Wendy's soulgem after we get off the phone with Qubes.

>>27398677

Do NOT use Muramasa; we haven't subdued Kirika's spirit yet, and using it now when we already have Yuu is just asking for us to start killing the audience.

>>27398839

But you still have to take into account that the one instance of a Soul Gem detonating involved physically manipulating it to start the process.

We're meeting her at the pitcher's mound, and the audience will be in the stands. Relatively speaking, that's not far, since we're still in the same stadium.

Also lets face it. Even if we used Yuu, Chiaki would take pleasure in smashing in Lucius' face so theres no getting around that.

>>27398914
can you provide a quote with that from a previous thread?

Or could Decu confirm, I have no idea where it might be since I do not recall anyone saying that or it being mentioned. I'm envisioning something like the Live Aid concert at Wembly, a writhing sea of humanity across the whole of the field right up to the stage.

>>27398946

Contingency and calling Coobie for advice on Soul Gem bombs is probably really our best bet.

>>27399013
Then why are we even taking Muramasa then?

>>27399018
I'm going with the "Lucius-only-being-a-namesake" theory.

>>27398961

I like it.

>>27399036

For maximum killy potential.

Also for information gathering.

If its who we suspect it is, lucius will have a very angry reaction to chiaki using the golden sword.

>>27399026

Yeh, i think we need a refresher. I remember Ruri saying she wanted a whole stadium for this concert, but couldn't get one.

>>27399059
Gold Gauntlets as shooty as well as punchy. I fail to see why it's less killy than BLOOD-FOR-BLOOD-GOD Katana.

>>27399076

Please read second point.

>>27399076

>shooty

Thats the problem.

How do you use that when surrounded by hostages?

>>27399026
I distinctly recall Ruri saying she wanted to fill the whole thing and have audience seated on the field as well, but that they said no.

>Take katana to the baseball field
>Timestop
>Decapitate Lucius

>>27399084
We're not even sure if it's really Oriko. But I concede the point, if only because I need sleep.

>>27399104
How do you propose we use a Katana which leaves us begging for blood with any care who it spills from, only that it's spilled?

But I digress, actually using the autocannons was far from what I thought.

>>27399145
without any care*

>"I know, it's not that big of an audience, right?" Ruri frowns. "I wanted them to open the baseball field for seats, too, but they were having none of it." She pouts. "And you'd think being the only Super Idol in the world can get you anything, but noooo...'don't mess with baseball, young girl, just keep singing your autotuned songs'!"

>>27399036
Because retards want us to go full murderretard for no good reason. PROTIP: DON'T GO FULL RETARD

If its Oriko lets give the gold katana to her.

So she can fully appreciate how reports of a certain someones death were greatly exaggerated.

>>27399104
They're idol-otaku.

Who gives a fuck.

>>27399145

Recall the last time we used it.

Even after unleashing FOFA, we were able to direct Chiaki's fury despite the combat haze.

Assuming no one goes near chiaki during the combat, we should end up with chiaki coming out of a stupor with her having chopped up lucius' corpse into a fine mince. That was what midori stopped her from doing after all.

Whats more that was before the operation. Chiaki's control over it should be even better, now.

>>27399198
I voted for using the Golden Gauntlets. We still have the goddamn thing on our wrists while both the Chainaxes and the Katana are locked up in the 9th.

>>27399213
Ruri, Kyuubey (due to the former being his client), Mami and all the other run-of-the-mill garden variety Megucas.

>>27399141

I don't think it's going to be that easy. I think we are going to have to brawl with her a bit, the sword is just going to fall from the sky like an air drop. Then we time stop to grab the thing. Beyond that, who knows.

Unfortunately we have to put up a bit of a show here, we can't just gib someone in the middle of the concert. There is no way it would go over well.

Plus that would require us getting the sword within the next 10 mins, and I don't think that is going to happen.

When all is said and done, we turn to the crowd, curtsy, then timestop out. They would eat that shit right up. Provided we still maintain the capacity to walk after the fight.

>>27398677
>[X]Have them be on guard while you call Kyuubey and ask for Muramasa to be delivered to you.

decu
pls
at least have kyuubey try to talk us out of mutilating every single person in this stadium

>>27399196
Thank you, we need more of this in the future, people who do remember or can find where the stuff is, so I feel it is safe for us to step out, ideally, if Iori could step off stage as we're emerging, we could at least save one idol if push comes to shove.

On the note of choice of weapons, lets use the bracelets for now, maybe once we're out on the field Yuu could detect Wendy much more clearly. But have the sword ready to go in our shield if need be.

>>27399217
Yes, we sure did direct our fury well and didn't cut up Midori at all!
Except we did. Ooops!

>>27399269

I really doubt the sword is going to be here within the time limit. We will have to use the deagle or Yuu for the first part of the fight.

>>27399285
She liked it, I'm sure everyone else will too!

>>27399229
I understand this sentiment, I myself have voted for going out on the field, I think we should start with the gauntlets if it devolves into fighting, for detecting Wendy, and not going on a full on Murderface brand Murderspree. If things get serious, then bust out the sword, sayaka will probably "dis-arm" us before we start guinsooing the crowd. well, try to.

But we need to be clear to the world that this isn't setting a precedent, the Warmaster of the 9th does not negotiate with terrorists, Kidnapping and holding people hostage is not going to get them anything except a swift death.

We need to go Kenyan on these bitches, hard fast response, with an acceptable margin of casualties to show we have a hard line.

>>27399323
Do you have any idea the level of special FX the ticket prices will purchase, the crowd is going to be in awe.

>>27399285

She did try to get in the way in the end, trying to get chiaki to stop chopping up bear corpses.

Also note disclaimer saying 'assuming no one gets in chiaki's way'. Because I really dont think anyone not emotionally invested in chiaki is going to step in.

And note as well that that that occured pre-op. This is now post-op and after the training session with kharn and it is no longer the first time activating FOFA.

>>27399348
You know, Sayaka might just have her sword here? you think she's got it near the stage? The one with the trigger? It might be a Masamune, but it could suffice in a pinch.

>>27399323

Exactly, the last time we shot someone in the knee they fell in love with us. Chiaki must be really good at it. Does it all sweet like.

>>27399331
>If things get serious, then bust out the sword, sayaka will probably "dis-arm" us before we start guinsooing the crowd. well, try to.

It is exactly what she is getting payed for. We do crazy shit, she rips our arms off when we go overboard.

And as long as we win the fight, I don't think it really matters what kind of precedent we set. Winning is winning.

It takes you only a few moments to decide. You tell them to prepare for a contingency. Whoever this Lucius is, you can't trust her to keep her word. Squad Hiryu is to stand down UNTIL you engage Lucius - and when that happens, they along with Enishi coordinates with Kyosuke's squad to check for any suspicious activity. Said suspicious activity, of course, involves any Magical Girls about to transform, or detonate their Soul Gems. If they do find anyone, then either detain or put them down immediately, with as little involvement from the audience as possible. Sayaka stays with the client as always, and to be ready to physically haul her out of the stadium in the worst case scenario.

"...You're really going for it, huh?" Sayaka's voice still has that edge where it sounds like she's sneering when she's talking - but there's a faint hint of respect in it. "Well, I still think it's stupid for you to just walk right into this kind of trap, Murderface, but you seem to have things figured out."

"I do not mean to draw comparisons at such an inopportune time, Matsuda-sama, but..." Enishi's voice, on the other hand, has adoration writ clear in it. "...This is the opposite of what Miss Valnikov would have suggested. Of course, Miss Malal, Blessed Lady keep her soul always, would have straightened it out to match your plan, but...that in itself..." She lets out a sigh. "...I will not let you down, Warmaster."

"Neither will Squad Hiryu." Comes the chorus of voices that constitute the remains of your Vindicare overwatch squad. The way they sound is painfully familiar - anger barbed with shame and tempered with revenge.

"Orders received and understood, Miss Matsuda." Kyosuke chimes in last. "I'll have my squad spread out and prepare for a quick takedown response. This is our specialty, at least."

Right. That's good. You leave them to it - you have less than five minutes left before the song starts - and you quickly call Kyuubey on your smartphone. The mutant cat should know, at least. He picks up on the second ring.

"Matsuda?" Kyuubey seems surprised. "Well, this is a wonder. I don't think we've communicated this much in one single day. What can I do for you?"

On both your wrists, the golden bangles you wear underneath your sleeves give a pleasantly-warm pulse, as if politely reminding you of their presence.

How do you explain the situation to Kyuubey?

>>27399407

We at least need to show off the golden katana.

If assuming the prophet is oriko, hlthe story of chiaki killing her and claiming her sword would have made the rounds among her followers and they would have an adverse reaction to seeing it.

>>27399407

She's taken the Soul Gem of one of the Hiryu squad members hostage, and has graciously decided to use her Plan B and challenged me to a duel, in the baseball diamond, under lights.

Don't ask for Muramasa.

>>27399407

"Shits going south real fast. Multiple MGs are about to witch out in the stadium, can't evac anyone without them going off. I have to fight their leader in the middle of the stadium or they go off.

>>27399407
>[x] Renegade MG team present at the concert, their team leader demands a one on one in the middle of the field.

"I have a situation here that is under MY control. However I need someone to head to my private armory to pull out the Masamune and have it delivered to the stadium in the next 4 minutes and 55 seconds. I may not need it, but it's better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

On another note, could you have Mami-san run an extensive search on a Lucius. Possibly a rogue MG, possibly affiliated with an officio but well hidden.

I would advise working on a possible media blackout, I'm certain something can be explained on the broadcast as special FX but I fully intend to take this bitches head and use it as a hood ornament.

One last thing before you have a heart attack, please send a quiet missive to the other warmasters that if they are responsible for this directly or indirectly and I find out. I will have a personal conference including them, myself, and 3 bullets.

I do hope you enjoy the show, give my regards to Mami.

It's Muramasa. Implication of being a cursed sword that fills its wielder with bloodlust.
Masamune is associated with being a more discerning sword that let's the wielder defend those that need defending.

>>27399502
I like it.

Except the Muramasa bit. I can't possibly think of a scenario when using that when we have three other perfectly servicable golden weapons at our disposal would be a good idea. Even if it would psyche out the opposition, the fact that it's all but guaranteed to send us into full FoFA mode would seem to be a rather potent counterpoint.

>>27399502
Everything but the sword sounds good here.

>>27399515
This if for the fact that is covers all the other bases the others left out, namely someone starting an investigation into this Lucius, the possible media blackout, the open letter to the other officios that suggests they need to clean house before someone else does.

Also, before we hang up mention, if you say something about not having a heart needed to have a heart attack in the first place, the first thing I'm doing when I get back to the office is cutting you open and checking for my own fucking sanity.

>>27399515
why 3 bullets?

>>27399615
Problem is, having it available means there's a chance wind up using it when we want something else. Like in Siberia.

That sword something we really only want to use as a last resort, but as long as it's in our inventory there's no guarantee we'll be able to save it for last.

>>27399719
Then have them not hand it over until we need it. Simple.

>>27399701
Knee knee head.

The best part about Muramasa is that it fucks over healing attempts. Remember how it took Kyoko's eye permanently? Imagine using it to lop off Lucius' limbs.

>>27399786
they don't call it cursed for nothing.

>>27399786
That was before she had Muramasa, FFS. It was explicitly stated that it was done without the golden sword.

Why the fuck do people keep forgetting this?

>>27399786
I thought Kyoko CHOSE to not heal her wound?

>>27399786

I think Kyouko lost that eye before Kirika started using Muramasa constantly

>>27399824
No, when she had QB try to heal the wound, it ended up only regenerating skin over her eye socket; the eyeball wouldn't regenerate despite QB's efforts.

>>27399824
Nope. Tried, skin just grew over and the socket sealed up.

No eye, just a blank patch of face.

We're the only one who's seen it. Not even Sayaka knows.

WE DON'T NEED THE FUCKING SWORD
GOD FUCKING DAMNIT WHY ARE YOU ALL SO RETARDED

>>27399843
I wonder if she ever tried regenerating her whole head not just the eye.

>>27399874
It's only a couple idiots.

>>27399879
...now that's thinking!

>>27399867
Wait, really? I doubt Sayaka doesn't know, considering the stuff they're doing in the bed.

>>27399881
Thank fucking god.

Seriously, we have fucking ARM CANNONS and Best Girl Strength. Why the fuck do we need a fucking sword? For fuck's sake.

>>27399824
Absolutely not, it hasn't really hampered her ability so she hasn't done anything drastic like cutting off her head and growing a new one. Besides she looks good in an eyepatch, on that note, don't tell Sayaka, it's a secret because it's obviously an abnormal wound.

>>27399874
Stop whining about it, it's past voting time, either the pro-sword votes will get it, or they won't. You're adding nothing.

>>27399900
It's like her boots, they never come off.

>>27399903
