"DIAGNOSTICS REPORT THAT DAMAGE IS MINOR." K-Zwolf rumbles. "MASTER HAS NO NEED TO WORRY."

"One more criminal brought to JUSTICE!" Julie grins, not look tired at all despite having a few minor bruises and scratches. "Totally worth getting up early for."

"I don't know if straight up killing a guy is justice, even if he was a cyborg..." Melissa frowns.

"Nonsense! Capital punishment is always a viable sentence!"

"Anyways, girls." You cough to interrupt them. "Good job, all of you. You all have the rest of the day off. I'll inform the others that you don't need to come to practice today."

The girls all cheer, though it's a bit subdued due to their fatigue and they quickly begin shirking off their gear.

Meanwhile, you've got a lot to do.

>>33074388
You decide to have the Idol Killer's body taken to the workshop to get it analyzed. As you idols leave, you grab a cart and carefully but unceremoniously dump the body right on top if it. You then push the cart to the workshop nearby, while K-Zwolf limps behind you, no doubt seeking repairs as well.

However, you don't see Falynn at the workshop. Then again, the hour was pretty early, so you figure that she was still asleep. Well, you knew a thing or two about augmetics, considering you had a few augmetic parts yourself...

Oh, hey, why don't we also message the doc to come over at his convenience? He's a trauma surgeon, not an augment doctor, but maybe he could glean something about who augmented him based on surgical techniques, scarring, and other stuff. Not a priority compared to Falynn, but still.

Falynn opens the door with a yawn. She is at least moderately dressed, wearing shorts and a t-shirt. She rubs the sleep out of her eyes and looks up at you.

"Producer? What's up with the early start?"

"Sorry about waking you up so early." You say. "But I got a surprise for you downstairs. Think of it as an early Christmas present."

"Oh? What kind of present?" Falynn raises an eyebrow.

"A slightly intact combat cyborg."

You don't even finish the sentence as Falynn is already out the door. You just smile and shake your head before making your way back down to the workshop. Somehow, Falynn had already changed into her regular work clothes and was ogling the Idol Killer's cyborg body.

"Holy SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT. It's a Cyberdyne C-100 combat shell! That's top of the line shit! Well, top of the line a few years ago, but it's still something!"

"I'm glad you like it." You laugh. "Have you had a chance to look at K-Zwolf, too?"

"Oh yeah, he's got quite a bit of damage." Falynn nods. "I'm guessing he took a hit from this guy here? Not only are his leg servos damaged, but the blow knocked a lot things loss internally, not to mention I need to replace a lot of the armor, too. Not too hard, but it'll take time."

"K-Zwolf can wait." You say. "Let's get started on this body."

"Aye aye, sir!" Falynn pulls on some work gloves and walks over to the body, now laid down on a work table. Falynn carefully opens up the rents in its chest.

"Man, who caused all this damage?" Falynn asks.

"Melissa."

"Ah. Damn, she was pretty rough with this guy." Falynn sighs. "At least she opened him up for me."

Falynn continues to dig through the cyborg's chest, pulling out random components and muttering to herself.

"Man, torso and internals are a complete wreck. It's probably only good for scrap at this point." Falynn sighs, and then blinks. "Wait.... oh, OH!"

"What's up?"

"His brain case is still active!" Falynn smiles. "Should've figured .Milspec braincases are designed to operate independently from the body. But... with all this damage extracting it might be tricky. I might wreck the thing if something goes wrong..."

"Done!" Falynn takes a breath, wiping the sweat from her brow. "Well, I guess we can cart that thing on over to Himawari or something, if you want to get into his head, or we can stick here and see if we can salvage anything from what's left of this guy!"

"So what can we do with it?"

"One of two things." Falynn raises two fingers. "One, I can turn it into a new module for K-Zwolf, with obvious results. Two, I can convert it into a backpack system for use by any of our combat idols. They can use it for full area saturation, or they would even be able to deploy it as a defense system. However, it's gonna be pretty heavy and they wouldn't be able to carry as much ammo as K-Zwolf could."

For one, KZ-Wolf's other systems are just too valuable to use on a situational defence system.

This IF it can be carried while he's stealthing around. If it conflicts, then I want one of the girls to have it as an OH SHIT button.

Enough said.

Rolled 6

>>33076930

Question Merc.

If its a module for KZ-Wolf, does it mean he can't carry his other equipment like the recon pack, Heavy weapons pack, Close protection pack?

>>33076930
>CYBERHOUND TYPHOON KIT
Our girls will be doing other things. That and Sparky will probably do just that same trick one day.

>>33077010
Yes, it's considered a full kit like the other modules.

>>33077000
Oh, anon brings up a good point, if it works like that.

>>33077000

Wait, if this counts as explosives for that perk, then I'm voting

Then its no good, the other stuff is too useful.

We can get this and pair it with a powered armour unit.

Don't think it works like that since they said the Typhoon needs special ammo to even work in the first place.

>>33076930

That makes sense, but I'd like clarification from Merc first to be sure.

>>33076930

Give it to Melissa or Sparky.

>>33077000
Sparky is already carrying a lot of shit though.
Carrying two weapons and one is a heavy weapon.

and now this and even the ammunition thing is dubious.

And now that I've gotten help from mathbros, in VMQ the chances of rolling an actual critfail (meaning rolling a one to negate the highest roll and rolling another one to be the actual roll) was .7%. Incredibly good odds, really.

> TYPHOON PACK
K-Zwolf already has more than enough destruction. Let the girls have some fun.

>>33077091
>merc clarifying anything

>>33077115
We could just buy her a powered exoskeleton and mount it on that, if weight turns out to be an issue.

>>33077115

If we do actually pass it to her, I guess it'll be time to get her the Powered Armour unit.

Then again, you know who benefits from it the most?

Morgan. She can use it to cover herself when shes busy having tunnel vision

>>33077115
Well, we can either upgrade Melissa's strength with the synth muscle, buy an exoskeleton, or ask Falynn to fashion an exoskeleton with the synth muscle.

>>33077170
When was the last time we upgraded stats?

>>33077170
Melissa still has one arm and one leg made of meat.

>>33077164
Well, if the typhoon system is 360, then we can modify it to be directional too, which basically makes it a very powerful grenade launcher.

>>33076930
>>TYPHOON PACK

>>33077170

We could actually just save it for development on an exo-armor suit for one of the other girls, I just realized.

>>33076930
Okay, so this vote got kinda hectic, so I'm going to put it up to a revote. Post the vote number and link ONLY. You got five minutes.

You are not going to clarify whether Sparky gets more than 1-2 uses out of the Typhoon Pack?

>>33077164
That... is actually a pretty good idea. The other girls will be grouped together so it'd actually be a bit of trouble to use it effectively. Unless the mission is specifically planned to have one of the girls jump in the middle of a room and explode the everything, it would be more useful as a self defense weapon for a girl on her lonesome (i.e., a sniper).

If the system can fire 360 degrees, why can't we modify it to selectively fire instead of firing in all directions? Thus, making it a powerful cluster grenade launcher.

Eh, the main reason why would be because that's not how the Typhoon worked in Deus Ex. I guess theoretically there's no reason you couldn't make it directional, though, especially if it's going to be in a backpack.

I've never actually bothered with the Typhoon in Deus Ex, to be honest.

>>33077523
It was really handy for those horrible boss fights, but other than that I never used it.

>>33077546
I just kind of shot dudes in the face. I wish I had it for that last one, though. That was a bitch and a half.

Guys, regarding the intel we get from the guy's head, I propose we share the intel with both Zenith and Horizon.

Zenith because they played a part in the killing, they have every right to it during the joint op.

Horizon as a show of condolence and goodwill. If we're able to do this with a meeting with their producer, we might be able to start to cement a second alliance with their firm.

>>33077256
>2

>>33077563
Sure, supporting this.

>>33077559
Yeah. And I think I had the grenade launcher for most of those fights. Really just anything to make them as painless as possible.

>>33077563
We're likely going to be giving the information to the Tribunal, but I don't see any harm in Zenith getting the information. They worked just as hard to secure him as our girls did. As for Horizon, let's wait and see what information we do secure, first.

>>33077392
>>33077295
>>33077285
Unfortunately, I'll sometimes miss questions, especially if they get mixed in with particularly big votes.

And yes, Sparky's perk would apply to the Typhoon. And while capable of a massive all at once area attack, the Typhoon can also fire in specified directions.

>>33077256
"Let's craft it into a pack. I know some girls, particularly Sparky, would probably like it." You say.

"Ah sure thing!" Falynn nods. "And uh, all that extra synth muscle. You want me to start slapping that stuff onto K-Zwolf and Melissa? Won't really take up that much extra room, and it'll give them a really big strength boost! That is, unless you want to save the material for another project down the line?"

>Upgrade Melissa and K-Zwolf's parts.
>Save the synthetic muscle for later.

Depends on what the intel produces of course.

"I'm thinking of an exoskeleton, or powered armor in the future."

>>33077563
So what happens if we dig too deep? Will Clover, Zenith, and Horizon be next on the hit list?

If that happens, I say that the 3 companies should become the new tribunal.

THE POSSIBILITIES-!

>>33077651

If we're giving it to her, we should have her swap weapons with Julie.

She takes the sub machine gun instead to help with the weight.

I wonder if the grenade launcher attachment is usable with the sub machine gun.

>>33077599
>And yes, Sparky's perk would apply to the Typhoon.
Wait, both the smart explosives and unlimited explosives?

>>33077651
I'm thinking of getting Sparky high end power armor and letting her run loose.

Considering all the good stuff, zenith should get 60% of the payout, at least.

>>33077599
>Upgrade Melissa and K-Zwolf's parts.

>>33077599
>>Upgrade Melissa and K-Zwolf's parts.

Consider this a award for melissa for finishing off the killer

Is this the synthetic muscle upgrade, we could have gotten for K-Zwolf awhile back but instead got the electronic warfare package?

>>33077716
Producer's parts are already milspec, so any benefits he gains will be minimal, at best.

>>33077722

Considering sparky's weight of equipment and Melissa's role as fire support, I was thinking of assigning some of sparky's equipment to Melissa to carry.

Both are good options. I just like upgrading Melissa and K-Zwolf better.

"Let's use those to upgrade K-Zwolf and Melissa." You say. "It'll do the both of them a lot of good."

"All right, I'll get right on that!" Falynn nods as she grabs some rather nasty looking tools and gets to work stripping the muscle from the cyborg limbs. You fight to keep your breakfast down and decide now was a good time to do something else.

"I'll be taking the brain over to Himawari then." You say.

"Yeah, you go do that!" Falynn says without turning around as she continues her grisly work.

You gently pick up the brain case. It's much, much heavier than you thought it would be. You gently set it down on a cart and start pushing it over to the data center. On the way, you key our comm to call up Jenner.

"Producer, I suppose the mission went well?"

"Yeah, we got the bastard." You confirm. "How are things going on your end?"

"Well enough. Rin and Niko are already in warmup. Rin's grandfather is also here with us. It'll be the first time he gets to see his granddaughter in a live show."

"You sure he's not just there to steal more womens' underwear?" You laugh.

"Don't worry. I have him under very VERY close watch." Jenner grumbles. "Morgan and Sparky are running a perimeter check, and they haven't found anything out of the ordinary. I believe this will be an uneventful performance."

"I hope so." You say as you arrive at the data center. "Anyways, I gotta go. See you!"

You cut comms and approach the door, but before you can even knock, it slides open to reveal Himawari. Thankfully dressed. Of course she'd be awake.

"Morning, Producer." Himawari says and looks at your cargo. "I see we stealing people's brains now?"

"Just this particular one." You say. "Can you pull anything from it?"

"Hmmmm, it looks to be a Cyberdyne Mark 5 brain case. It's going to be tough to crack. They use some high level encryptions to protect brain activity. If I don't do it right, it might lock me out, or worse, destroy the brain. Depends what setting they put it on, really."

"Is there a, well, less risky option?" You ask.

"You're probably not going to like it." Himawari warns.

"Let me guess. We actually try talking to him?"

"Bingo."

"I guess we can try talking to him." You say.

"Oh, well then that's simple, then." Himawari grabs a cable and plugs it into the back of the brain case. "With this, we'll be able to interact with him. All he can do is see our inputs and reply to them. Just remember, he'll still be conscious and have full mental faculties while in this state, so you'll have to to treat it as talking to an actual person."

"I got it." You nod. "Hit it."

Himawari hits a key, and the main screen turns into a text prompt.

"All right, let's start things off simple." You speak to the computer as it transcribes your words into text. "What's your name?"

>MY NAME IS CAPTAIN GATO BRENNER.

Huh, simple enough.

"All right, I know you're military. What's your unit? What did you do?"

CAPTAIN GATO BRENNER. US ARMY. ID NUMBER 4591841.

"Why were you going around killing idols?" You ask.

CAPTAIN GATO BRENNER. US ARMY. ID NUMBER 4591841.

"Were you working alone? Working under orders?"

CAPTAIN GATO BRENNER. US ARMY. ID NUMBER 4591841.

That repeating line didn't really surprise you. It was the textbook response to interrogation. It seems that whoever this Gato guy was, he was definitely military. You see Himawari do a quick search on his name. It pulls up a basic file. A little TOO basic. You've been on enough secret ops to know when an operative's record had been thoroughly scrubbed. Whatever this guy had been up to in his military career, somebody didn't want anybody else to know. However, it was another potential lead you could use.

Again, don't care about this guy. I trust Himawari to do her job. As long as we got the info the brain can burn afterwords for all I care.

>>33078515

Hacking his brain should be our last resort.

>>33078515
>>Hack his file.

>>33078587
And pissing off the US Mil is a good idea to you?

>>33078583

We have 2 star powers remaining so we should get at least some of the info through hacking.

>>33078515
>Hack the brain.

>>33078515
>Hack the brain.

>>33078615
This guy >>33078605 has a point: if this guy is black ops then the security to find his file is going to be as difficult, if not more difficult, than cracking the encryption on his brain. The brain being destroyed seems a better alternative to having the military on our heads (assuming we fail).

>>33078515
>>Hack the brain.

>>33078515
>>Hack his file.

I don't think he's going to crack unless we have some ammunition to leverage.

Yeah this is gonna go nowhere slowly.

>>33078639
>>33078657

I think my post was ambiguous, I was supporting the position that we should hack the brain because we have two star powers, not hack the files.

>>33078605
We have connections in the military we can use in case shit goes south. We don't have a backup brain in case we fuck up on hacking it, and we risk pissing off the other idol companies, especially the big 3, because we decided to hack the brain on our own initiative.

>>33078515
>"FORMER Captain Gato Brenner."
>Try to convince Gato to talk.

And risk pissing off a large and powerful organization when you can just hack his brain. Why bother with hacking his file to 'crack' him, when you can just straight up crack his brain.

>>33078515
>>Hack the brain.

less risk than the files

>>33078681
We have a connection. That is the Captain and doubt that single connection is saving our ass if we get caught doing something stupid. Like hacking the US Army database.

>>33078681
We don't have THAT good of connections, not to avoid a potential kill or detain order. I think the best connection we do have is the Captain, and... well. The rank should really speak for itself, unless she actually reached a higher rank than that and the nickname just stuck.

If we do actually have connections to a special forces colonel or a senator or something, please correct me.

>>33078515
"Yeah, if this guy is trained by who I think he was trained by, he's not going to talk to use the normal way." You sigh. "We're going to have to be more forceful on him."

"All right." Himawari nods and hits some more keys and the screen changes. "I'll try to break the encryptions. I guess wish me luck?"

"If you need it." You smirk.
