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!

You've just recently come back from your idols' very first live performance, and you consider it a pretty good success. Jenner has already mentioned some potential sponsors and other jobs, so it looks like things are looking up.

But, first things first, it seems like your idols learned a lot from the performance, and all that training that came before it.

Sorry, wrong one loaded.

Alright guys, you'll be on your own after the second part of this post for maximum audience participation. Today, we have a special guest star.

Gentlemen...It has come to our attention that Clover Entertainment has become a new competitor in the idol industry since the success of their concert even though one of their idols was pulled from performing, and are now gaining a respectable following. A small number of these fans are surprisingly the gangers they had defeated only weeks ago. It seems that Dr. Rotsneatitpierce's predictions are slowly coming true.

More importantly, we have discovered new critical information about this elusive "Producer".
Our reports state that he had spent some time in the military before joining Clover Entertainment and from our what our agents have gathered, he played as Oddjob in Goldeneye. Aside from that, we barely have any information about him.

This "Producer" clearly shows signs of being a master strategist and tactician with a genius level IQ who covered up all information relating to him.
Here to elaborate on him is our resident expert on strategy: Jager Sturmfuhrer PhD.

>>29959133
To the average person, this "Producer" may seem like a blundering idiot who only excels in fighting and making spur of the moment decisions without thinking of the consequences. Do not let this man fool you! He is in fact skilled in being completely unreadable, almost as if a dozen different people are trying to tell him what to do.
This is a ploy used by him to make himself seem completely incompetent and harmless to his enemies as he plans to obliterate them all in one swift motion.

With his unpredictability, he is impossible to plan for as he can seemingly ruin or aid us like a true "Wild Card". But once Clover Entertainment dominates the industry, he'll be able to control the world with an army of loyal fans and idols enforcing a New World Order!

This... "man" is a tactical genius who has gone through intense mental discipline. One can only imagine the convoluted plans within plans he is thinking of right now...

What inhuman thoughts of chronic and sustained cruelty he wishes to inflict upon the world...

I've done my homework on this "Producer" character. War veteran. Special forces. Served in the Persian Gulf and a couple tours in Vietnam War 2. He's deadly when a rifle in his hands and even deadlier when you give him a squad he trusts.

There wouldn't be many ways to kill him that I'd consider... economical... but there are ways to get to him. I have an agent prepared to infiltrate the band under the guise of a new idol. With her we can get close to this man. Know how he thinks, what he's planning. And, when he least expects it, be able to eliminate him.

I think that we should have a birthday event for our idols. I can only think of giving an original 1911 to Rochelle as a gift (ideally). The others may be a bit harder to figure out, but it also gives us the chance to get to know each of our daughterus more.

Any other suggestions for birthday gifts for our idols, lest it turns out like this?

Alright,

Rochelle's INT increases by 1!
Julie's STR increases by 1!
Cole's INT increases by 1!

After a bit of hard tutoring, Cole has learned a new electric ability! (Choose one)

>Touch of Healing: Sends an electric shock through a person's heart in an effort to restart it. Can be used to resuscitate incapacitated allies.
>Biosensor: Can sense the presence of threats based off the EM fields they generate. Effective up to 100 meters.
>EMP: Generates a powerful electromagnetic pulse that will disable unshielded electronics in a five meter radius.

EMP will be more immediately useful.

Having the ability to revive SOUNDS good, but it's likely the injured person in question will need far more medical attention than just an electric shock.

Biosensor is only useful if one of our idols fall. Biosensor is more useful to *prevent* such a situation from occurring.
>>
>>29959797

Adding to this, once we switch out Biosensor, we can switch out K-Zwolf's default loadout to something more combat-oriented as well.

that's assuming the Dice don't have their way. You forget that that this is luck based not skill based.

You've also earned some money from the performance as well. The manager was kind enough to pay you $2500 for the trouble. It wasn't really a large sum, but more than enough to pay the bills.

PAYMENT: 2500
CURRENT UPKEEP: 1700
TREASURY: 2100

Well, in either case, all there was to do was find the next job.

Meanwhile...

It seems that on last Sunday, our Armchair Commander has successfully channelled the power of the Elder Dice Gods, bringing us a new source of "Moe" for Project Blacklight. With this new source of Moe for the Blacklight Project, the world will flock to her and obey every beck, and call.

But we must remain cautious, the Elder Dice Gods are fickle and will bring about woe to their followers for mere entertainment. We must maintain a low profile, and wait....

Information is no good if you don't have the ability to act on it.

Cole's biosensor covers the information side of things, and K-Zwolf is the only heavy hitter we have available.

Merc, question. Is K-ZWolf shielded from EMP?

>>29959871
You decide to go check up on your idols. After all, you couldn't have pulled off that performance without them. The least you could do was thank them. And see how they were dealing with it. You walk up the dorms, where you're pretty sure the girls would be awake by now. Sure enough, they're in the common room, lazing around and watching TV. Apparently watching an idol show.

"Jesus, how do they wear outfits like that?!" Cole frowns. "They're practically naked!"

"Yeah, but look at those LEGS! That FLEXIBILITY!" Julie grins. "Goddamn I'd break a guy's neck to get legs like those!"

"I don't think that's how the saying's supposed to go..." Rochelle frowns.

"Hey girls." You say to grab their attention.

"Hi, Producer!" They respond.

"So how are you all feeling?" You ask.

"Totally fucking stoked!" Julie grins. "I think I could get used to this!"

"It was okay I guess." Cole grumbles.

"Well, I'd like to get a chance to prove myself..." Rochelle sighs.

Cant you guys like, wait for a situation to develop before deciding on something to use?
>>
>>29960342

We're talking about the default loadout, ie, the loadout we're going to have with us if a band of cyborg ninjas attack us out of nowhere.
>>
>>29958903
Oh shit is this a MAID-inspired management quest?
Damn son this looks cool
>>
>>29960342
this is /tg/ (and possibly bits of /k/) so yeah they'd have a boner for shit like this.
>>
>>29960372

That would mean that we'd be on a mission or out and if we were, we'd likely have choosen a loadout before hand.
>>
>>29960437

Or they attack us while we're trying to enjoy some ice cream, where we don't have the luxury of choosing it out.
>>
>>29960217
supporting this as well.

I'm voting against changing his default config as two sets of eyes are better than one.

What kind of idiot puts all his eggs in one basket? Oh wait, /tg/.
>>
>>29960501
We don't have ANY heavy guns, apart from Cole whose combat skills are unknown, the only sample we've gotten is against some random gangster mook. Meanwhile the gangster was well on his way to beating the shit out of Rochelle, which could've been handled better if we had a more combat oriented build to work with. Cole can take care of the recon, but heavy firepower is a niche we need filled in any serious combat situation.

"Well, anyways," You continue, "I'd just like to thank all of you for doing your best in the performance, even you, Rochelle, and I promise you'll be in the next one."

"Thanks, Producer." Rochelle smiles.

"Anyways, Cole, you temptress, I never knew you'd pick up a fanclub so fast!"

"Shut up." Cole grumbles.

"Come on, I thought you'd enjoy having a legion of guys willing to die at your command!"

"I-It just feels really creepy!" Cole cries. "I never had anybody actually LIKE me!"

"Oh, and you'll love this next part." You say, waving a letter in the air. "They sent fanmail too. Guess what they're calling their club?"

"I have a feeling I'm going to hate it." Cole sighs.

"They're calling themselves the Tunnel Snakes."

"Awesome." Rochelle nods.

"Oh how sweet! Even though they're a bunch of lawbreaking scumbags, that's still really sweet!" Julie coos.

"Really stupid..." Cole frowns. "Why'd they get all attached to me, anyways?"

"Well, Cole," You explain, "most gangs are run by the person that proves themselves to be the strongest. Considering you beat the snot out of them with little apparent effort, they probably see you as their new leader now!"

"Fucking kill me." Cole sighs.

"I know! It's just... I"m more used to ordering around people because they're AFRAID of me!" Cole wails. "I never had to deal with people doing stuff for me because they WANT to!"

"Welcome to the world of idols." You say. "In either case, you shouldn't worry too much about it."

"Can't I just like, beat them up, or something?" Cole sighs.

"Cole, beating them up is what caused them to follow you in the first place. Doing it more would only make them like you more."

"GODDAMNIT!" Cole yells. "NOTHING MAKES SENSE ANYMORE!"

At that moment, Rin comes up the stairs, carrying her usual bag with her change of clothes.

"Oh, hey everybody. Hi Producer." Rin nods. "I see you're having a good time."

"Going back to practice already?" You whistle. "You're quite the trooper."

"Yeah, well, I need to keep my skills sharp, right?" Rin grins.

"Stop it, Rin, you're making the rest of us look bad." Rochelle sighs.

"Sorry!" Rin giggles and then turns to you. "Oh, and I'm not sure if you know or not, but I did sort of notice some guy hanging out in front of the office when I came in. He sort tried to ignore me when I said hi to him. Kinda weird."

"Ah, I see." You say, trying to suppress your instincts to panic. Instead, you calmly walk to the window and look out, and indeed see a person hanging out on the bench across the street.

Well, it could just be simple paparazzi. Jenner warned you this was something that would inevitably happen once your idols started getting more popular. However, you feel that it was better be safe than sorry.

"Alright girls, don't you have practice to do? Get going!" You say, shooing them away.

"Awwwww, fine." Julie sighs.

"Yes sir, let's go, Cole." Rochelle says, tugging Cole by the collar.

"But I don't want toooooooo..."

"K-Zwolf." You speak through your networked Harbinger connection. Even though he was imprinted to Rochelle, you still had authority to give him orders. "Are you active?"

"ALL SYSTEMS NOMINAL." The cyber hound rumbles. "DO YOU HAVE A NEW MISSION?"

"Yes. Are you in stealth configuration?"

"AFFIRMATIVE."

"There's a unknown target outside the office. I want to you engage stealth mode and gather data on him."

"AFFIRMATIVE."

You then look through K-Zwolf's eyes as it bounds out of the office, closing in on the stranger. As it gets near, K-Zwolf slows its pace. You see several vision mode changes as K-Zwolf thoroughly scans the stranger.

"Are there any weapons?" You ask.

"ONLY DETECTABLE EQUIPMENT ARE IMAGE RECORDING AND COMMUNICATION DEVICES.

Hm, well that seems to support your suspicion he was merely a paparazzi. However, just to be sure...

"K-Zwolf, get a picture of his face and transmit to me."

"AFFIRMATIVE."

K-Zwolf uses its optic sensors to snap a picture of the stranger's face, which you then run though an online idol service that runs a registry of known paparazzi.

"K-Zwolf, hold position. I'm going to confront him." You say.

"AFFIRMATIVE. STANDING BY."

Taking a deep breath, you walk out of the office, trying to stay nonchalant. You don't want to spook him or anything. You keep walking, keeping an eye through K-Zwolf's visual feed to see if this Renaldo guy would follow you. However, he remains in place, even after you round the corner, which means he's definitely here for the idols. Good thing the windows were tinted. You then quickly circle around the block, planning to come up behind him. Thanks to your army training, you get behind him rather quickly, coming up and tapping him calmly on the shoulder.

"Excuse me sir."

"Hey man, I- HOLY SHIT!" The paparozzo leaps into the air when he sees it's you.

"Ah, so you recognize me, then? Guess I don't have to go through the trouble of introducing myself, Mr. Hata." You smile with equal parts pleasure and malice.

"Hey now, I don't want to have any trouble..." Renaldo frowns.

"Don't worry!" You grin. "You know, you must be FREEZING out here, how about we go in have a cup of coffee? What do you say?"

You can see Renaldo's eyes flit about as he considers his options. He could always try and cut and run, which was very tempting since he probably wasn't used to being treated this nice by a target. However, his curiosity gets the better of him and he nods.

"Sure, I could use a cup of joe."

"Great!" You grin as you lead him to the office, a brief shimmer in the air the only evidence that K-Zwolf was following close behind.

"I see you brought a guest." Jenner says as she narrows her eyes at the sigh of Renaldo.

"Now now, Jenner, Mr. Hata here is our guest. Can you get us two cup of coffee?" You ask.

"All right." Jenner sighs. "Please don't break anything."

With that, you finally start to ask Renaldo the hard questions.

"All right, Mr Hata." You say, clasping your hands together. "I'm just going to be blunt about this. What do you hope to gain from stalking my idols?"

"Whoa, hey, I think the term 'stalking' is a bit presumptuous there!" Renaldo laughs nervously. "I'm just trying to make an honest living, just like everybody else!"

"Well, Mr. Hata, what magazine do you work for?" You ask.

"Ah, well, er... I'm eh..." Renaldo looks away as if ashamed. "I'm uh, 'freelance' right now..."

"So that means you don't actually have a job..."

"Ack! So blunt!" Renaldo sighs.

"Look, Mr. Hata. I know the difference between photographers and paparazzi. I've worked with combat reporters in Kurdistan and Vietnam 2, and they're all standup people who don't hawk pictures of teenage girls to make some cash."

"Yeah well..." Renaldo sighs. "Look, Mr. Producer, I'm just going to lay it to you straight. Journalism isn't what it used to be and nobody wants an old, washed up man like me on payroll. I wouldn't be doing this if people weren't willing to pay good money for it, and I got a daughter to put through school!"

"Hmm..." You nod absentmindedly as you mentally dig through his file deeper. You can in fact confirm he had a daughter and used to work as a legitimate photographer, that is, until all the news agencies in Delta City were bought out. Looking through pictures attributed to him, you didn't see anything TOO bad. Mostly just pictures of idols and other people of note walking around through public places. Apparently he wasn't the type to break and enter, like so many other paparazzi were willing to do.

>>

>>29962755
Fine it's your quest.

But I didn't want to prostitute or rape the girl, just make her dance and sing and perform on a stage with music and stuff.
>>
>>29962711
Well you have to be attractive to be an idol.

Unless you're Chihaya, she somehow slipped by that requirement.
>>
>>29962785
I understand you, but if she made an idol, it better be because she's good, not because of some sort of shady backroom deal.
>>
>>29962771
My Waifus are money, connections, and influence.

I care not if they come in the form of middle aged men, robots, or young girls.
>>
>>29962801
but muh shady backroom deals...
>>
>>29962786
she isn't ugly, just lacking in what other idols have in ample amounts (even the tomboy)
>>
>>29962785
It's everyone's quest. I'm not directly against having his daughter be an idol, but making livelihood conditional on it is just creepy.
>>
>>29962430
>Renaldo's daughter is very much alive. It was just an oversight on the tenses.

"You know, Mr. Hata, I think we could help each other out here...." You say.

"Huh?" Renaldo blinks as he takes a sip of his coffee.

"Well, we're obviously a new and budding idol company, so we need all the publicity we can get." You say. "I wouldn't object if we had someone who could distribute photos of our idols through the proper channels."

"You'd really do that?" Renaldo gasps.

(cont)
>>
>>29962833
I agree entirely.
But I do not understand why this fact is pertinent.
>>
>>29962802
Damn straight. We DO NOT waifu the fucking talent. That should be like rule 1.
>>
>>29962852

"With conditions, of course." You say as you calmly sip your own coffee. "One, you don't release any pictures without my say so. Every photo you snap passes through ME first. Two, you DO NOT show up anywhere near the office or any of my idols' homes. Three, if you have any information on other idol companies, you come to us about it first. And fourth, you will go and apologize to Rin for not saying hi to her when she greeted you earlier this morning."

"W-what?" Renaldo blinks.

"You heard me." You say flatly.

"You got a deal then." Mr. Renaldo grins. "You won't regret."

"Let's hope I don't." You nod.

You then escort Renaldo to the practice room so he could properly apologize to Rin.

"I'm sorry, miss." Renaldo bows his head in shame.

"A-ah, well, you didn't have to do this for me, Producer." Rin blinks.

"There's no excuse for rudeness." You respond. "And also, I'd like to announce that we've 'employed' Mr. Hata here to be one of our photographers! He'll juts be taking pictures of you doing regular stuff out in public, and never without your permission. Are you all okay with that?"

The girls all look at each other and then just shrug.

"Well, it looks like we have a deal, then." You say to Mr. Hata.

"Thanks a lot!" He grins. "Don't worry, I'll be sure to make your girls shine!"

With that, Renaldo leaves the office. You have K-Zwolf tail him for a few blocks before he boards the train station.

"Well, that was interesting." Jenner says as she looks at the surveillance feed. "I hope you know what you're doing."

"Yeah, I hope I am, too." You sigh. "Anyways, how should we deal with paparazzi in the future? It seems like a problem that's only going to get worse."

"Well, you'll probably want to ask Lillith about that." Jenner grunts. "I have a job list. It's funny, just getting a bit of influence in District 2 changes things so much..."

"Influence?" You blink.

"Oh right." Jenner blinks. "I probably should have explained this to you earlier. Delta City is split up into 9 separate districts, all divided by socio-economic standing. When you start picking up fans and popularity in districts, your influence rises to show it. You'll usually get extra perks for districts you have high or complete influence in."

"I see." You nod.

"But, you'd be careful. Gaining influence means you're taking it from another idol group, and they won't take that lying down. If you're going to try and take over a district, you'd better damn well be ready to fight over it."

"Okay, so tell me more about the Districts." You lean back in your seat. "What are they like?"

"Well, like I said before, since Delta City is pretty much a very large company town, everything is tightly organized and segmented. District One is the richest while District 9 is the poorest. It sort of goes like this..."

>DISTRICT ONE: CITY CORE
>The most affluent district, D1 is the home of all of the local megacorps.

>DISTRICT TWO: COMMERCIAL CENTER
>Most of the city's largest shopping districts and malls are located here.

>DISTRICT THREE: PLEASANTVILLE
>A very high class residential zone. Mostly large mansions reserved for company executives and high ranking personnel.

>DISTRICTS FOUR, FIVE, AND SIX: PRIMARY HABITATION
>These districts are where the vast majority of Delta City's workforce resides, ranging from single family homes to high rise apartment towers.

>DISTRICT SEVEN: INDUSTRIAL SECTOR
>Contains the countless factories and warehouses that pump out and store Delta City's gods.

>DISTRICT EIGHT: SLUMS
>Houses the workers for the industrial sector as well as the most menial of Delta City's jobs.

>DISTRICT NINE: PENAL COLONY
>Reserved for prisoners who are forced to work the most dangerous and/or undesirable jobs in order to work off their prison sentences.

"Interesting." You nod. "So how about District Two? Who holds that?"

"Nobody, really." Jenner sighs. Districts 1 through 3 are the most hotly contested, so there's no clear frontrunner there yet. Don't worry, we' haven't appeared on any of their radars yet.

"What about for the other Districts?"

"I'll have to get back to you on that." Jenner sighs. "It's not a set thing. Control is not concrete, and can change on a daily basis."

Lets do both of these.

We're forgetting about Ourselves as an asset. We can pretty easily do legwork on the Gun Run - and after the injuries last time, its our RESPONSIBILITY to make damn sure the girls go in safely when they do, instead if being an Armchair General - and we can take the doggiebot along for backup.

Send the girls and our trainers to the prom night, we have phone and will be in the office to advice.

No reason we can't do both! and we would benefit to keep a good business relationship with Marc.

We could sure use the money.
>>
>>29963830
Well yes, it is possible to split up your idols to take multiple jobs. However, that means you'll be splitting up your effective strength as well....

Plus usually when Jenner gives you jobs, they are the ones dated close together, which is why she's presenting the choice to you. Gun Run will probably still be available, but the time difference will change things up.
>>
>>29963910

To reiterate:

Start main work on Prom Night. We have talented pros on the staff, and we can be involved with the decisions on that job - but we're a soldier, when was the last time we danced? We've been getting our ass kicked by the girls at idol-ey things every time so far...
.... so its time to put our own talents to use. Tell marc we'll look into it for him, and do exactly that by putting our combat training to good use. If they're poorly trained, the initiative should go to the guy who actually know's what he's doing and has a mind for strategic planning - plus, we can let the girls observe from the office; it will be good lesson for them to learn how smooth ops SHOULD go, what they can aspire to.

(" okay ladies, youv'e seen it when things don't go smooth at the mall. Now pay attention closely, because that was hell, and this is going to be a world of difference..."

This'll help build us some good fortune with Marc--and he might even let us keep some of the stolen merch as part of the payment!

Besides, gang-bangers are a lot more fun to deal with than rowdy fairgoers or snubbed Idol groups.

Good to know.

Then again, we're not really in the idol business, are we? Still learning the ropes!

Query: Regarding the harbinger....
.... can we set it up to possess the K9? I don't think there are any moral qualms there, and its pretty great plausable deniability. We rigger now!
I mean, sure, we may have to learn to control it, but its a heavily armed combat cyborg that's already connected to our tactical systems.

The thing about Prom Night is number of combatants, I'm thinking. If we're gun-running, we'll have to deal with gang-bangers--not at all that experienced, but there's a lot of 'em, and that's what makes it dangers. With Prom Night, we'll have to deal with 4-6 Idols, probably around the same combat aptitude as our own group.

For either encounter, though, kiddie gloves come off--we go in loaded for bear and shooting to kill.

That would require us to get some more gear. WE already have a rifle, but we need some accessories. A suppressor would be nice, and a fully kitted out secondary like a PDW or handgun. A Camo-Cloak would be good too, but that might milspec gear, and hard to find as a result. We'll also need some NVG's and some body armor, extra mags, grenades--in both smoke and flashbang flavors--, and some C4, just in case.

"Prom Night sounds nice." You grin. "Guess it'll be nostalgic to be back at high school."

"All right. I'll schedule it." Jenner nods.

"By the way, do we know why the previous idols dropped out?" You ask, a bit worried.

"Well, it was officially ruled an accident." Jenner frowns. "But there's rumors that the school's cheerleading club is vying for the performance slot, and they sabotaged their rehearsal."

"I see..." You frown. "Guess we'll have to go in loaded and ready?"

"Likely." Jenner nods. "If they can't stop the performance, then they'll most likely try to sabotage it out of spite. I suggest we take precautions."

"Because who knows what teenage girls with a grudge are capable of, huh?"

"Correct." Jenner nods."In this case, we might have to rotate idols in and out of performances to keep an eye on things. It'll be too dangerous to have all 4 on the stage at once."

"That makes sense."

"But be careful, if you have too few idols on stage, you might lose audience interest." Jenner warns.

Usually self defense, like if a combatant goes directly for you, one of your idols is being attacked in your direct vicinity, or if your HQ is getting attacked (which is very rare). But don't think you can try and game the system by deliberately blundering into fights.

We don't necessarily need a body double ourselves. The girls? They definitely need body doubles. But as it stands, we're too poor to afford body doubles--heck, we don't even have a dance instructor, cook, or human doctor yet.

No, i mean a body-double for the producer. Either a security guard(who would reasonably have combat skills if he has to step in), a face(because that's half of a Producer's job) - or even a dystopian cybervat-grown skinjob.

Yeah, we might need a waiver if we do that. Unless, y'know, we design a Faraday Cage over a special "Shock Zone" of the audience area where Cole lets her electricity run over the fans to some grounded wires.

"I think I'll talk to Lillith about how to deal with this Paparazzi thing." You say.

"All right. I'll handle the job negotiations, then." Jenner nods.

"Also, you think we can hire a new staff member now that got some funds?" You ask.

"Hmmmm." Jenner pauses for a moment. "Probably after the next job. We should have a big enough safety net by then."

"Good to know."

You then head down to Lillith's office. Inside, you see her sitting at her desk reading on of those incomprehensibly large books on some extremely obscure subject.

"I see you're rather busy today." You say somewhat jokingly."

"Oh, believe me, Producer, it's a good thing if I'm not terribly busy all the time." Lillith retorts. "What can I help you with?"

"Well, I was sort of wondering, since you've probably had experience with this, but how do you deal with paparazzi?"

"Oh boy, that's a huge can of worms." Lillith sighs and leans back in her seat. "In my experience, you can't really ever get rid of paparazzi. They're like weeds. Get rid of one and another comes to take its place."

"So what, we just ignore the problem?"

"I'm not saying that." Lillith shakes her head. "But you have to make it clear to your idols that you don't approve of that sort of thing. It gives them the impression you care about their well being."

"You mean other idol companies don't do that?"

"A lot of them, especially the bigger ones, don't give two shits if the paparazzi get a panty shot or a bare nipple. Any publicity is good publicity, right? No sense caring about the idols' feelings." Lillith says with a bitter edge to her voice.

Rochelle appeals to the OPERATORS/tryhards/tacticool tards.

Rin is our bread and butter girl.

Julie kinda fits in the same role as Rochelle, but since she's been treated to be something like Yang, I really do think we need a Blake to build some chemistry and make her more distinct.

And Cole is, well, Cole. She appeals to rough-and-tumble types, superhero lovers--which, as a side note, we should probably get a one-off issue from a comic book company where Cole is featured as a superhero separate from her Idol job--, and people who really love electricity.

"Speaking from personal experience?" You ask.

"Unfortunately, yes." Lillith grumbles. "Apparently, while I was an idol, some perv was taking panty shots of me for YEARS. The worst part? My producer and his bosses knew and didn't tell me. I was so fucking pissed... I actually still am."

"So... are those still around?" You ask flatly.

"If you want to find them, you'll be out of luck. The Boss did me a favor and took care of the problem."

"He what?"

"He took. Care. Of. The. Problem."

Jesus, just who the hell was the Boss?

"In either case, there's nothing stopping you from beating up paparazzi. It's not like anybody is going to stop you." Lillith shrugs. "They're unpopular with normal people and they don't have the cash to hire decent protection."

"I'll keep that in mind, Lillith. Thanks."

"Anytime."

You gather the girls for a close combat training session. You feel that since it wouldn't be wise to try and smuggle weapons into a school, the girls should learn how to fight up close and personal.

"Now, I'm sure you all have some close combat." You say to your girls. "But I think we need to standardize things. Rochelle, what's the extent of your training?"

"I used to take self defense classes during high school." Rochelle says.

Hm, decent, but not great. Most civilian self defense instructors didn't really know what they were teaching, just going through the motions.

"Julie?"

"My father taught me krav maga." Julie grins.

Better. Krav maga was an actual combat art.

"Eh, I just learned whatever, you know?" Cole shrugs.

"Okay, so that means we'll have to start from scratch." You sigh. "We'll start with simple Army Combatives. It's easy enough to learn while give you some practical skills."

"Pfffft, just get a metal pipe or bat. Or even better, a gun. Why do we have to learn this crap?" Cole grunts.

"A weapon, no matter how powerful, is no good if you can take out the hand that uses it." You say simply. You feel a tingle in your arms as Cole tries to shock you, but you've thought ahead and your arms and boots insulated beforehand. "Now what did we learn today, Cole?"

"Now, there are three primary objectives to combatives: gain distance from your opponent to utilize your ranged weapon, get into a position to use your secondary weapon, or to close in and finish the fight up close. With those in mind, let's start with simple defensive moves..."
