You are the PRODUCER, a former soldier hired to manage a group of teenage girls on their rise to stardom, assuming they don't get killed in the process!

Last time, you finally recruited your core of idols, and hung out a bit with your secretary, Jenner. Now it's time to actually get your idols together and hopefully do a bit of bonding so they can work as a team! Again, hopefully.

You check your watch anxiously. Since you were kind of arranging this thing at the last minute, you decided to kill two birds with one stone by just having the girls do a bit of shopping together. It was something they could all spend time together with, as well as provide Julie and Cole with a decent wardrobe. It was still a bit early, so could head off and personally talk to one of the girls before then.

You decide to talk to Cole first, considering she was probably the socially weakest among all of your idols. After all, it would be good to make sure she wouldn't shock random people in public. Dear god, that would be something you wouldn't look forward to explaining.

As you enter the office, you see Jenner already there, dutifully manning her desk as if she had arrived hours before you had. You check your watch and see you've arrived at 0600...

Anyways, you pause to talk a bit with Jenner before heading up to the dorms.

"Hey, Jenner, I have a bit of a question to clarify with you."

"Yes?" Jenner turns from her work to look at you.

"When we're doing shopping with the girls, you'll help take care of the um... 'private bits', right?"

"What, bra and underwear? Sure." Jenner shrugs. "Don't worry, you don't even have to enter the store if you're worried about your masculinity that much."

"Um, thanks." You grin.

"Also," Jenner stops you. "I heard you and the Boss arguing about that Harbinger system."

Of course she knew about that. Somehow you're not surprised.

"Yeah? What about it?" You ask.

"How exactly does it work?" She asks.

>Sorry, I'm a bit busy. Maybe later.
>Sure, it...
>Other
>>
>>29222403
>>Sure, it...

COME ON INFODUMP
>>
>>29222403
>>Sure, it...
>>
>>29222403
>>Sure, it...
We need info on how it works. Time for some EXPOSITION!
>>
So for roles:

Cole: Anti-augment, anti-mind control, assault force, background dancer

Stop-Right-There-Criminal-Scum-chan: Assault force, background dancer

Military Otaku: Singer, security

Think-on-the-spot girl: Singer, dancer, improvise (need guarding by the other three)

What am I missing out on?
>>
>>29222403
>Are you sure you want to know?
>>
>>29222403
>>Sorry, I'm a bit busy. Maybe later.

We don't know who's there or out the door
>>
Been doing some research on comic book superpowers, and Cole's powers are probably the one I fear the most if they "evolve" beyond her control.

In short, manipulation on the atomic and molecular level (Mother Mercy help us if she manages the sub-atomic level then we could potentially enter the wonderful world of anti-matter manipulation!)
>>
>>29222403
>Of course she knew about that.
She she she would use it, when we asked her what she would do with it.
>>
>>29222448

The Military Otaku should be the leader of our Black Team, is what I feel.

Probably has some good training under her belt and not completely fucked up.
>>
>>29222403
"It's need-to-know, and you don't need to know, because we won't be using it."
>>
So Rochelle is the anonymous skill set hire right?
>>
>>29222403
>>Sure, it...

[desire to know more intensifies]
>>
>>29222403
>Sorry, I'm a bit busy. Maybe later.

Make sure no one's around, we're out an office where some of our idols live
>>
>>29222524
Yes. She knows the most tactics, and is less useful in a battle situation on the front line. Rather, she should be a sniper and the commander.
>>
>>29222403
>Sure, it...
>>
>>29222514
Good thing they only level up if she gets more Int.
Keep her dumb, keep everyone else safe.
>>
>>29222573

She was our all rounder though.

Probably give her a marksman rifle but i expect she'll be on the ground too.
>>
>>29222403
>Other
this is a serious question. is this room secure? for this is only meant for your ears only.
>>
>>29222591
Yeah, and that's only a sample of what other powers she could gain.

Another example, being able to detect electric fields from anything that produces it like people and electronics.
>>
>>29222620
She is also our AWACS.

And anons were considering giving up on recruiting her.
>>
>>29222573
That's an awful idea.

>hey yeah let's remove you from the situation so your leadership and command skills are totally useless, and then we'll give you this highly specialized weapon you're not trained for.

I'm going to assume this is satire and you're actually voting for "Keep an assault rifle or SMG and some armor handy for Rochelle so she can quickly get everyone organized and into position"
>>
>>29222591
It levels up if she improves her proficiency too.
>>
>>29222591
No. We control her through shaping her fundamental values to be loyal to us first.

Brain washing ahoy!
>>
>>29222674
The inner jerk in me wants to teach Cole how to defend herself when she's wet even if it means going full no holds barred military training. She has to learn to pick herself up when she's the most vulnerable, if she can do that then nothing can stop her.
>>
>>29222749
We will get to that too, but we need to teach all of them self defense in melee combat. Except Space-Marine chan.

"Well..." You sigh, taking a quick, conspiratorial look around, even though there pretty much was nobody else in the office anyways. "Harbinger and other CIC systems like it work by directly interfacing either with specialized nanomachines or neural augs. It allows near instant and secure communication between the commander and his troops."

"I know that much." Jenner nods. "But what about that direct control feature you were talking about earlier? How exactly does that work?"

"Well," You sigh. "what Harbinger can do is use its connection to a user to suppress their higher brain functions and replace them with inputs from another user. What this means that another person can literally take control of another."

"And is it... painful? Is the controlled person aware of it?"

"In most cases, no." You shake your head. "It's kind of like blacking out, or falling asleep. The controlled person usually has no knowledge of what's going on until the control stops, and even then, they'd have no memory of what had happened."

"Most cases?" Jenner raises an eyebrow.

"Well, in about 1% of cases, the controlled individual remains fully conscious and aware of what's happening while they're being controlled." You sigh. "But it's an incredibly rare occurrence."

"I see." Jenner nods. "And why would you ever need to use it?"

(cont)
>>
>>29222807
>Julie teaching Cole how to CQC
>while both are soaking wet
>>
>>29222807
Space-Marine chan seriously needs agility training though.

And on a side note I think we should give Cole some superhero comics.
Does anyone agree?
>>
>>29223080
"Usually it's to provide a specialist on hand when needed." You say. "For example one time our medic got hit so we had a doctor take control of one of our guys so they could operate on him. Has a bunch of applications, actually, but as you know, something that powerful has a high potential of abuse, which is why they're incredibly rare. I don't even want to know how the Boss got a hold of one."

"I see." Jenner nods. "Well, thanks for explaining to me. Better go handle your business, then."

You nod and move to continue up the stairs when you hear something at the door.

It's about morals and keeping her powers a secret.

Not MOE KAWAII DESU

>>29223300

So we feed her SPIDERMAN?
>>
>>29223291
oh okay then
>>
>>29223345
Probably better than giving her issues of Demon in a Bottle.
>>
>>29223345
PERFECT!

>>29223345
I was thinking a combination of BATMAN and SPIDERMAN.
>>
>>29223400
X-man, the Storm issue.

Electricity power and all.
>>
>>29223300
>He thinks manga is all MOE KAWAII DESU
Monster Princess, Franken Fran, and Alyosha.
>>
>>29223102
We should give her transmetropolitan. And watchmen.
>>
>>29223345
Hmm... maybe if she learns about static cling, she could learn to climb walls...?

I am now not regretting taking her in. Though that sentiment may change depending on the situation.
>>
>>29223433
Don't give her more ideas anon. You will wake up with her powering a chainsaw turning into a phoniex and abandoning her co-workers as expandable loyal guards that will revive. Or she will remodel everyone to have fifty arms to shoot guns out of.

You turn around and see a rather small, thin brunette girl standing at the door, her hair done in a short ponytail. She certainly didn't LOOK suited for military work, but in your experience works were extremely deceiving, considering you fought against (and alongside) your share of female fighters in Kurdistan.

"H-hi, I"m Rochelle." The girl introduces herself somewhat meekly. "Is this the Clover Entertainment building?"

"It sure is." You grin, putting on a friendly face. "Hi Rochelle, I'm the Producer. I'll be managing you from here on."

"Hello." She says and bows her head politely.

>What do you want to ask her?
>>
>>29223534
Ask the basic interview stuff. Age, experience, if they prefer trids or flats, etc
>>
>>29223497
Ummm, if she learns how to negate magnetic fields, she can essentially negate the fields that hold a person's atoms together (a.k.a. going Dr. Manhattan on our enemy's asses)

>>29223534
"Come on in and take a seat!" Ask her about her work experience, and any skills that she has to bring to the table.

Ask her why she wanted to be an idol.

And note that she was very interested in enlisting, offer that Producer is Ex-Mil and ask what shes interested in and if she understands what shes in for.

Do the talk. Give her the opportunity to back out now with on repercussions.
>>
>>29223534
Basic stuff, see what she knows about guns, hand her an UNLOADED pistol and see how she holds it, nerd out over gun stats, etc etc.
>>
>>29223575
As long as we don't molest her, she shouldn't have a reason to do that.
>>
>>29223575
I am thankful that gravity is not an EM wave that can be manipulated by her. Not yet.

Remember that light is also EM radiation.

She can spontaneously shoot laser if she needs to.

It's powers as innocent as manipulating electricity that would make me dread living if I lived in a comic book universe. It always start as something innocent, then the next thing you know, your hero knows how to kill the entire city in an attosecond.
>>
>>29223713
I honestly think you're blowing this out of proportion. Cole can store electricity in her body (probably in her fat cells, since they're not doing much other wise. Might be best not to mention that to her though, since she'll think we're calling her fat). Then she releases it in a controlled fashion (possibly using her laserhands. No, really). She can't "manipulate electricity" any more than we can. All Cole can do is shoot lightning bolts from her fingers and look really cute.
>>
>>29223894
Sorry, I just like to exaggerate just in case. I would rather be too prepared than walk in blindly.

Pastebin says otherwise. Stop talking out your ass.
>>
You guys do realize that she's already one step away from being a supervillain, right?
I'd rather not give her any ideas.

If we want to give her something to read (we have to wait until she learns to read), some manga may be a better option.
Something simple, positive and optimistic, with enough fighting to keep her interested.
>>
>>29224006
We outbreak company now? Subduing the powerful by turning her into a NEET?
>>
>>29224006

so shoujo manga
>>
>>29223958
We just have to keep in mind where we found her: alone and homeless in the worst place imaginable. Do you really think someone who with that much power would go around doing that, or would even be allowed to go around doing that

>>29223985
What I mean to say is, Cole can't break the laws of physics. She can direct and control electricity to a certain extent, but she's not an atom bomb.
>>
>>29224006
You do realize that manga can be worse.
Beside we're talking about SPIDERMAN I anything could go wrong there.

"Well, don't just stand there, take a seat!" You say, motioning to one of the chairs. Rochelle just nods and sits down.

"Now, I just need to ask you a few questions, to clarify things, okay?"

"Sure." Rochelle nods.

"Okay, the basic stuff first. Age, interests, reasons for being an idol?" You ask.

"Well," Rochelle shifts a little nervously. "I'm 18, and my interests are singing and military stuff, though you probably know that already. As for why I want to be an idol, well, it was sort of my backup in case I couldn't get into the army."

"I see." You nod. "But, those are some interests that are pretty far apart."

"I guess you could blame my parents for that one." Rochelle laughs lightly. "My dad's a veteran. 28th Mountain Infantry. My mom was an idol and they met at a USO show and well, here I am."

"Ah, the 28th. Great guys. I worked with them a few times." You grin.

"You're a veteran too?" Rochelle's eyes seem to sparkle a bit.

"Yeah, but I think we can trade old war stories later." You say.

"Y-yeah. Right." Rochelle nods.

Well, you're sure that would make for a great story, but you still had business matters to take care of.

"Well, Rochelle, what if I told you that here, you could fulfill both your idol AND military needs?"

"Really?" Rochelle blinks. "I mean, you're not kidding, are you?"

"Nope. Idoling can get pretty dangerous, especially here in Delta City." You say. "So naturally, some of our idols are expected to fight as well as they can sing and dance. It'll be dangerous, though."

"I'll do it." Rochelle nods.

Huh, that was pretty fast. You decide to give one last little test.

"Anyways, since it's such an interest, I want to see how you can handle yourself with a firearm." You say as you pull out your personal sidearm. It was an Colt .45. Unfortunately, just one of the many modern reproductions, since the classic 1911 models were very rare these days.

"Wow, a Colt .45." Rochelle's eyes widen as she takes the gun. She then whips out a pair of red rimmed glasses to get a closer look. You note that she instinctively checks the safety, magazine, and even the chamber as the very first thing. Even kept her finger off the trigger even though she knew the gun was empty. Pretty sharp.

"Good stopping power, but a very small magazine size." She says, handing it back to you.

"Yeah, well, if you need more than 7 .45 rounds to put someone down, you're dead anyways." You crack a grin. "Anyways, it's been nice meeting you."

"Okay, just wait here. The rest of your fellow idols should be arriving shortly." You say.

"Roger that, sir!" Rochelle gives you a little salute with a grin. Well, you notice her demeanor has changed a bit since that interview...

You go up the the stairs and you pass by Julie. She gives you a smile and a wave before continuing down. You figure she and Rochelle should hit it off, or at least find some common ground with each other. Heck, they might even teach each other a thing or two. You smile and wave back to her before continuing up the stairs.

You finally reach Cole's room and you give a gentle knock.

"Whoever it is, you can fuck off." You hear Cole grumble from inside.

She has been living, for a very long time, in fucking Detroit. Alone. And surviving.

That's a bit beyond "moody grumpy teenager" in terms of psychological fuckup indicators, she's had basically no contact with civilization up until now.

"Come on, Cole, no need to be so rude." You sigh. "No one here's out to hurt you."

"Yeah yeah." Cole grumbles as she opens the door a crack. "What do you want?"

You narrow your eyes. From the looks of it, Cole had literally just gotten out of bed.

"You're supposed to have been up by now, Cole. I thought I informed you about this earlier." You say.

"Hey, how do you expect anybody to be up at this hour?" Cole yawns. "Freaking inhuman, is what it is!"

"Come on, Cole, let's get you cleaned up." You sigh. "You're actually going out in public so you've got to at least look somewhat nice."

"Screw that." Cole grumbles. "What if I don't want to go?"

"Fine, Cole." You shrug. "If you don't go, I guess we can save on money by not getting you stuff like ice cream, or pizza, or even corn dogs."

You look down and see that your ploy by luring her out with food seems to be working. You see the gears clicking in Cole's head as she thinks on it.

"Fine, I'll go along with this thing, then." Cole harumphs. "And, um, I might need help with the shower, again."

"Fine, fine." You laugh.

To her credit, she doesn't walk through the hall naked like last time. When you finally reach the shower, Cole still seems a bit hesitant and turns to you.

"Fine, but I can't keep turning the water on for you every time." You say. You take Cole's hand in yours and place it on the knob. Cole shivers a bit as her fingers touch the cold metal and together, you both turn it.

"See, it's not so bad, is it?"

"I guess." Cole grumbles.

"Okay, but make it quick. We're on a schedule here."

Unlike a lot of girls you know, Cole spends the minimum amount of time needed in the shower. Within ten minutes, she's already out of the shower, hair dried and everything.

"Okay, one more thing." You say as you escort her down the stairs. "Well, two things, actually. One NO ELECTRICITY in public. You got that? Even if you think you can get away with it, don't. We don't want everybody knowing what you can do, okay?"

"No promises." Cole says.

"Cole."

"Okaaaaay!" She sighs. "Sheesh."

"Second, try to at least be polite with your fellow idols. You'll be working with them in the foreseeable future, and I want you all to be able to trust each other."

"I'll work on that." Cole sighs. "And uh, Producer?"

"Yes?"

"What does ice cream taste like?"

Oh boy this was going to to be priceless.

"You'll find out soon enough." You say, trying to suppress your grin.

Once you reach the bottom of the stairs you see that the other three idols: Rin, Rochelle, and Julie, have already assembled in the lobby.

"About time." Jenner says, pointing at her watch. "Come on, we have be going right now."

"Girls, after we're done with this, prepare for the best ice cream of your lives." You grin.

"That's a bold statement, Producer." Rin frowns.

"Anyways," You continue. "We'll be going to the Delta City Mall. Rin, Rochelle, I should point out that Julie and Cole here came from... a rather rough neighborhood so they're a bit out of their element here. I'd really appreciate if you two could help them out."

"Sure thing." Rin nods.

"Yes sir!" Rochelle says enthusiastically.

"Okay, the other thing is, even though everything being bought here will be reimbursed by the company, this is NOT a blank check to spend however much you want! We just need some decent casual and maybe formal wear for Julie and Cole, and maybe few nice things for yourselves, as well. Me and Jenner reserve to right to veto any of your purchases. Got that?"

"Yes, Producer." All of the idols say in unison.

"Good, let's get this thing rolling." You say.

Thankfully, it's only about a ten to fifteen minute drive to the Delta City Mall. The trip itself is relatively quiet, as all of the girls try to gauge and study each other, though there is a bit of small talk here and there. Cole, however, seems to stay quiet and sort just sticks to the backseat, not really getting into any conversations unless directly talked to. Well, you figure she'll grow out of it eventually.

Finally, you reach the Delta City Mall, which you think is large enough to engulf a small town or two. It was one of the main outlets for the megacorps to sell and show off their products, so naturally no expense was spared in its construction. Suffice to say, it was one of the main institutions of Delta City. As you reach the front driveway, everybody disembarks as a large robotic arm lowers from a crane overhead and carries the van away to a vehicle storage area. Very efficient.

Now you just had to decide where to go.

"Hey, let's grab some breakfast first." You say. "It IS pretty early, after all."

"I guess." Jenner shrugs. "To the food court, then."

Your little group heads off to the food court. Because it's a weekday morning, the place looks almost abandoned, but that meant you had the best pick of places to go to. Unfortunately, the food court was BIG, and of course, that mean lots and lots of choices.

There were places like McDonalds, which were fast and cheap, but the quality was sometimes questionable. You remember the furor over that whole controversy when they found their green St. Patrick's Day milkshakes had human DNA in them. Plus, most of their meat was vat grown these days to save on costs.

Or you could go with something more restaurant style, like IHOP or Dennys, even if it was a bit unimaginative.

You lead the girls to a Dennys, which in your opinion made some pretty damn good breakfasts. You almost pitied the fully cyberized squaddies of yours that would never enjoy the taste of real food anymore.

"Okay girls, eat hearty, because we've got a long day ahead of us." You say.

All of the girls pick some variation of the signature Grand Slam. You had to veto Cole's decision to order "all of the breakfasts". You order your own breakfast consisting of eggs, bacon, sausage, and of course, the pancakes. Jenner simply opts for a mug of coffee. Since you were pretty much the only ones in the restaurant at the moment, your food comes rather fast and the girls start to dig in.

"H-hey, Producer, so you were in the army, right?" Rochelle asks.

"Ah, well there was that one time." You grin, recalling one nice little, slightly innocent story you felt safe talking about. "Me and my unit were out in Kurdistan. Just basic security stuff, going from village to village to make sure they weren't colluding with the local warlords or planning stuff against us. Well, one day, we get a new shipment of experimental stuff. Not exactly uncommon, since field testing happens all the time. Turns out, they wanted us to test out some new missile launchers."

"Let me guess, you guys were fooling around and pretending it was your penis." Rin says.

"Not... exactly." You frown. You probably shouldn't tell them about that part. "Well, we were just supposed to test out its armor piercing capability. Take out to the field and blow up a couple of knocked out tanks with it. That's all."

"And I feel a 'but' coming on to all this." Julie sighs.

"Yeah, well, we look up and see a surveillance drone several kilometers away." You say. "And well, the launcher had some experimental targeting systems too, so we had the bright idea of using it tag the drone and make the drone controllers sweat for a bit.

"And then it exploded." You say.

>>29226594

"Wait... did you actually shoot it down?!" Rochelle blinks.

"Well, we thought we did at first." You laugh. "And we all started freaking out until we found out later that a bunch of militants were taking potshots at that drone and scored a lucky hit right when we were fooling around."

The girls start collectively snickering and laughing at your past antics.

"Well, it was just a drone, right?" Rin adds in. "I mean, it's not like anybody actually got hurt."

"That particular drone cost almost a billion dollars." You say flatly.

"Oh."

"So afterwards, we put the thing away and never spoke of it." You shrug. "But it was years ago. I doubt anybody else would care."

"Well, it's nice to know that our nation's security rests firmly in the hands of jokesters like you." Jenner grins a bit as she stands up. "All right, is everybody finished? Let's get going!"

You decide to head straight into the clothes shopping. Immediately, it seems that Rin and Rochelle seem to know where to go and it feels like you're just being dragged along for the ride. Seeing as how you knew literally nothing about fashion, you sort of step back and let them take the lead. You seem to jump around countless (seriously, fucking COUNTLESS) clothing stores trying to find what's right for Julie and Cole. Julie seems to be pretty into it, and gleefully previews all the clothes she's wearing with each store's holographic overlay booths.

"Producer!" Julie then waves you over. You look around, a bit reluctant to step into a women's clothing store, but you finally relent and go in, trying to keep your cool.

"Yes, Julie? What is it?" You ask.

"What do you think?" Julie hits a key on the holoprojector and it generates images of various skirts, and she hits another and this time it's more masculine clothing with simple shirts and pants of varying lengths.

"Which do you think looks better?"

"Hm, I think these suit you better." Pointing at the more tomboyish selections. "But then again, that's just my opinion. I'm not exactly into female fashion."

"Aw, but I thought female fashion was all about attracting guys' attention!" Julie pouts.

"She does sort of have a point there, sir." Rochelle nods in agreement.

"Jenner. save me, please." You whisper to your secretary.

"Sorry, I'm a bit busy with Cole here at the moment." Jenner says with a slight grin.

Traitor.

"Cole," You hear Jenner then sigh. "Those are boys' clothes. Like, not even tomboy fashion That's literally straight up men's clothing."

"Yeah, well, I'm not comfortable with those short shorts and skirts and everything." Cole scowls. "This is the sort of stuff I'm used to wearing. Pants, shirts, and hoodies."

"Well, you can at least buy something. You don't have to wear it right now." You sigh. "Look, it's like you're paying for it, either, so you might as well."

"....fine." Cole grumbles though she pokes you and gives you a rather stinging static shock. "But don't expect to see me wearing that stuff off the stage any time soon!"

You shake your head. This was going to take some work. At least she didn't straight up hit you with a lightning bolt or anything.

"Yeah, I guess I can take a break for a couple of minutes." You stretch your arms. "How about I grab some drinks on the way back?"

"Yeah, that'll be nice." Jenner nods.

You then stroll out into the mall. Now that it was starting to get closer to noon, more and more people were starting to filter in. Your eyes begin to scan all of the various stores, until you see on that catches your eye.

UNCLE MARC'S WEAPONS AND MILITARY SURPLUS!

Huh, that seemed pretty interesting. Maybe you should check it out, considering you needed a place to get your gear and all.

You also see that it's near the mall's central courtyard, where you notice that a stage has been set up. Wheels start turning in your head as look at this. It seemed like a good starting point for an up and coming idol company like yours...

Assuming the RNG doesn't have any bias. Which is… somewhat unlikely.

Well, if the new crit 1 rules prove to be too unforgiving, I might change or tweak them.

>>29227690
You find yourself drawn to the weapons store, due in part to your military background, and partly due to your actual need for weapons. As you step inside, you see the shelves lined with all sorts of old military gear, like tactical vests, gas masks, military rations, and all sorts of other bits and pieces the army had no qualms selling off to make a quick buck. In the back, behind the counter, you can see various firearms and augs mounted on the wall or stored in secure cases.

You then see a man who is presumably the store owner, in an argument with a customer.

"I'm telling you, your stupid gun is defective!" The customer complains. "I want my money back!"

"Hmmmm...." The owner examines the gun carefully. He then loads a fresh magazine the handgun and points it directly at the customer.

"Whoa, what the hell are you doing!?" The customer gasps.

"Testing it out, of course!" The owner says happily. "You see, I pride myself in selling quality product. If it IS defective, well, that's a serious problem. It might ruin my reputation!"

"BUT WHY ARE YOU POINTING IT AT ME!" The customer shrieks.

"But you said it doesn't work." The owner shrugs. "Why do you have anything to fear?"

With that, the customer finally loses his composure and flees the store, blowing past you without a second thought.

(cont)
>>
>>29227805

It's very nearly impossible.

But any RNG using an algorithm invented in the last thirty years will be sufficiently random that no significant bias will be found in samples smaller than a million rolls or so.

So we're probably fine.
>>
>>29227878

"Didn't even take his gun with him. Oh well." The owner shrugs, disarms the handgun, and mounts it back on the wall before turning back to you. "Ah! A new customer! I'm Uncle Marc, with a C, not a K. Do you see anything that suits your fancy?"

"Maybe." You say as you walk up to the counter. "You weren't ACTUALLY going to shoot him, were you?"

"You bet your fucking ass I would have!" Marc laughs. "There's two things I hate. Children and con men. And maybe my two ex-wives, but that's beside the point! How can I help you?"

"I was just looking around." You say.

"Well, as you can see here we have just about anything you can imagine!" Marc says, motioning to his display wall and cases. "I sell every street legal weapon available."

"I see." You nod.

Okay, it's Marcus. That's funny, but if I'm being serious for moment, I think we should avoid dealing with him if possible. Such blatant disregard for basic firearms safety makes me doubt that his store is completely on the up-and-up.

What I was thinking was we could grab some sort of flexible steel--some space-agey material that has the full impact hardness greater than AR500 steel plates but the flexibility of, say, a thick leather jacket. That shit should stop anything short of purpose-made AP cartridges in .50BMG or 20mm shells--basically, anything short of laser weaponry, focused beam or otherwise, which could melt straight through.

I've always been told that people should play to their strengths while attempting to deal with their weaknesses. Depending on hardness of the setting giving her a modded railgun she can charge/fire through use of her internal reserves might be the most prudent course of action.

That also makes her useless when it rains.

Just normal arms should suffice, giving her the trump card of electricity.

>>29228051
Well, if she chooses to fight in melee, give her a knife. I heard that if they use electricity to cause high enough frequencies vibrations in the blade, they get a vibroblade.

Actually, just give her any bladed weapon, and she could turn it into a vibroblade if she learns the skill.
>>
>>29227991
Instead of flammable powder as propellant, you use two reactive chemicals separated by a barrier.
Instead of hitting a primer the hammer breaks this barrier, allowing the chemicals to mix and explode.
Less susceptible to heat and electricity, more susceptible to physical shock. Obviously, nobody makes this now, but in the future where it'd be easier and more useful?
>>29228051
Except that wouldn't work if she got wet.
>>29228075
>>29228088
The blade needs to be specifically designed to not EXPLODE when vibrating, which usually requires a specific frequency be maintained.

What I'm thinking is we come out with a line of "combat chic" clothing modeled by our idols. It would look hip, look slick, and have a bunch of tacticool things that would draw in the mall ninja crowd while not offending fashionista taste. Integrated magpouches into jackets, integrated holsters and webbing--the possibilities are endless! We could even team up with not-Hugo Boss to make uniforms!

Well that's all pending upon whether you use a cartridge entirely. This being a cyberpunk future, caseless rounds might just be a reality. The heating thing is still a massive problem, though--maybe they solved it via the usage of thermal clips, a la Mass Effect? Might make buying components for things more complicated, but it seems easier than keeping a dedicated heatsink in the rifle.

"Don't you have anything a bit more... 'exclusive?'" You ask.

"Ah... AH!" Realization flits across Marc's eyes. "EDDIE! Watch the store for me, will you?"

"AFFIRMATIVE, SIR. WEAPON SAFETIES UNLOCKED. THREE LAWS PROTOCOLS SUSPENDED." You see half of an ED-209 warbot mounted in the corner like a defensive turret, it's autoguns primed and ready with several signs bolted on its chest saying "STORE IS UNDER VIDEO SURVEILLANCE AT ALL TIMES" and "THIEVES WILL BE WARNED AND THEN SHOT".

Charming.

"Oh, he's perfectly harmless. He hasn't killed anybody in YEARS." Marc assures you as he waves at you to follow him into the store's back room.

And in the back... boy are you surprised at what you find. Various types of power armor, top of the line military equipment, cutting edge augs, there was a little bit of everything back here!

"So, what outfit are you running?" Marc asks. "Mercenaries? PMC? Private Security?"

"Idol Company." You say simply.

"Ah." Marc nods, as if it wasn't even a surprise. "Which company?

"Clover Entertainment." You say.

"Hmmm, never heard of them." Marc shrugs. "That means you're newcomers, right?"

"Yeah." You nod. "Good weapons are actually something we're looking for."

"Well then I have what you need right here!" Marc grins and pulls out a shipping crate. He pries it open to reveal stacks of guns. They weren't exactly cutting edge, though. You see they were late model M4s, about a generation or two behind current weapons tech.

"M4s?" You raise an eyebrow.

"Hey, I'm willing to give these things to you for free!" Marcus says. "Think of it as a promotional deal! They're light, compact, easy to find parts and ammo for, and very customizable! I'll even throw in some tactical vests, grenades, and sidearms!"

"What's the catch?" You raise an eyebrow.

"Well, how about this." Marc grins. "How about I become a sponsor for your company? Except instead of money I'll supply you with basic weaponry and give you discounts on the fancy stuff!"

"And what exactly does this sponsorship entail?" You ask.

"Just a few glamor shots of your idols using my merchandise. Nothing adult, of course, this is a family story after all!"

"Let me think on this." You frown. "I'm just a Producer. This sounds like something I have to run through my boss."

"Sure, you know where to find me." Marc shrugs. "But hey, to show you I'm serious, have this!"

Marc then tosses you a rifle. it was an M55, just like the one you used in the service. You instinctively hold it in your arms in a battle like grip as you check its components.

"Ah, I knew it, you're a military man!" Marc grins. "There's more where that came from! Let your boss know that!"

>The M55 is the currently the basic assault rifle for the US Armed Forces and is the standard by which all other weapons are set. It uses proprietary 6.8mm caseless ammunition. It is also modular, being able to quickly swap parts to change its role if needed.

Marc is nice enough to box up the rifle so that it doesn't immediately set off alarm bells when you walk around with it. It's at that point you exit the store, say your goodbyes to him again, and then grab a bunch of frozen lemonades from a nearby stand before returning to the store.

"That was an awfully long five minutes." Jenner frowns.

"Yeah, well, I was doing some business." You say as you hand her an iced lemonade. You hand the rest to the girls, who all politely thank you, with the exception of Cole, who has to be reminded of it.

Way I see it, since we're a new company, we really don't have a choice but go for the grassroots route if we wanna nab some sponsorship, supporting local business and all that. That doesn't mean we shouldn't sign contracts with bigger companies once we get more well known, but it means that we have the support of the working man, the foundation of the city after OCP killed all the hobos and vagrants and sterilized everything. And c'mon--who wouldn't want to flaunt that their little old mom and pop shop was one of the original sponsors for a massive media empire?

Sorry guys, it's getting a bit late here and I feel that this is a good place to pause at. Tune back in on Saturday for the continuation of Producer's Amazing Mall Adventure!

And also, PJ Witches this Friday as well! Hopefully we'll also able to touch upon ARMORY and TREASURY features by then, too!

BTw what was your verdict on PJ Witch quest.

Are you going to timeskip to end it, or make it a every once in awhile thing?

>>29228695
I'LL BE WAITING FOR MY COLE, UNTIL NEXT TIME

This is something I'd like to know myself

Her lightning powers are both highly useful in combat and potentially marketable. We won't be able to keep it secret forever, nor do we have a particularly good reason to do so.

>Should we be concerned about a megacorp going "wait a minute, I recognize that ability from one of our failed but still patented products"?

Wait 4chan X shows posts from threads that simply don't exist anymore at all on hover. Didn't know that but it's neat.

>>29228744
No but it might be useful, for maybe utilities

>>29228744
We recruited her specifically because she can shit lightning. Treating it like some big secret is pointless.

Very well? I'm most curious how this will work out.

Waiting warmly to guide Cole through the lingerie section
