You don't even remember what sent you to the floor. You remember hitting your head on the canvas, and not even being able to reach the ropes for leverage.

Everything between that, and Doc splashing the water on your face in the locker room, was a blur.

He looked so worried.

“Mac,” he says, “Mac, are you alright?”

You shake your head. You blew your chance. Tonight was your title fight. The match of the century. Your Pacquiao vs Mayweather. And you got annihilated by Mr. Dream.

He was too fast. Too strong. You just didn't have what it took to take him down.

Of course, he did kind of have eleven inches and almost eighty pounds on you, so that's something.

Doc looks to the exit of the locker room, where the paparazzi are sure to be waiting. You can hear their murmer over the silence of the locker room.

“Doc. Is this... it?”

He exhales heavily. “Do you want it to be, Mac? You're still a contender. You can still take him down. We just need to get you some training. Get you some fights with other people.”

“Like who?”

Doc shrugs. “I don't know. I didn't expect you to lose. I didn't have anyone in mind. We can worry about that later, Mac. We gotta figure out what you're going to say to the media.”

“Like what?”

“Are you finished with boxing? That's going to be their first question.”

>Of course not! I will be back, and I will kick the shit out of him. Figuratively speaking, of course. No kicking in boxing.

So, just to be clear: this is a Knock Out! quest where Little Mac lost to Mr. Dream, right?

>Of course not! I will be back, and I will kick the shit out of him. Figuratively speaking, of course. No kicking in boxing.

You sigh heavily, and lever yourself to your feet. “What else can I say? I'll be back. I'll kick the shit out of him. He broke my perfect record."

As you shake off the dizziness and unlace your gloves, you see a catte flaunting his butthole at you. You cock an eyebrow at the catte, and it dashes off elsewhere. Weird. But you'll leave the catte alone.

“Doc, let's go. I don't want to be here. It smells like failure."

He nods, and you step out into the flashbulbs, Doc at your side. You do your best not to squint. Questions are shouted at you from several directions in an incoherent babble. But you know what they say.

You look at the paparazzi who's shoving the microphone in your face the most insistently, and you hold up one hand for quiet. “I lost tonight," you say. “But I'll be back. The next fight won't go the same way."

“That's if you get another fight, Mac," the paparazzi girl says. “Word is you're washed up."

“Washed up after one loss? Please."

She starts another question, but you shake your head. “No more questions. We're done here."

You leave the arena, a dark cloud following you. As you reach your car, a man is leaning against it. He's unshaved, but is wearing a military-style jacket. The paparazzi, at least, kept a respectful distance.
>>
>>39367636
But seriously, if he pulls out a comb, I'm freaking out.
>>
>>39367636
“You given any thought to your next fight, Mac?" he asks.

You sigh, and cock your head looking at him. “No. Talk to Doc about that one."

“I got a proposal for you."

“I don't want to hear it."

“It'll thrust you back into the limelight. Might even get you your title fight back after one bout."

One bout to return to contender status? Too good to be true.

“Yeah? Where's this match at?"

“Solaris."

You roll your eyes. Another wacko. Great. “So who's the boxing match against, then?"

“Well," he hedges, “it's kind of [i]like[/i] boxing, but not quite..."

>Blow him off. He talks to Doc, not to you.

“Look, buddy, I got my head pounded in by the world champion tonight. I'm not really up for setting up new deals."

“Fair enough," he replies. “At least let me give you my card."

You groan. All you want to do tonight is go home and sleep off the concussion, but you can give Doc the card and have him deal with this shitlord. You hold out your hand for his card. You're done with words.

He hands it to you, and then steps back. “Hope to hear from you soon, Mac."

“Whatever." You look at the card.

[i]Montel Andersen
Commander, En Guard Peacekeeping Services[/i]

You wonder to yourself what kind of shitty name 'En Guard' is.

Montel waves, and walks off.

You open the car door, close it, and drive off into the night, wanting nothing more than a good screwdriver before bed.

When you stumble into your apartment, nearly dead on your feet, you have the presence of mind to take a picture of the card and text it to Doc. Doc'll call him and handle this. That's what Doc is for.

Your head hits the pillow, and it's the same kind of blackness as it was when your head hit the canvas earlier tonight.

It's not been a good day.

You're an idiot.

These are your thoughts in the morning, as the hated daystar beats into your face, as you didn't bother to draw the blinds closed last night.

You roll over, groan, and give the sun the finger. The pounding of your head hasn't gotten any better, but dammit, if you're going to sulk, you're going to sulk in the shower. Which you do.

After a good half-hour soak, you stumble out of the bathroom, and make yourself a tall orange juice, and slam down four hardboiled eggs. You're still sore from the fight, but damned if you're going to miss your morning jog.

You pull your pink hoodie out of the closet, and step outside, onto the city streets. It's just not the same without having Doc on the bike to chase.

Eh. Well, it's an easy day today.

Before you can get started, your phone rings. It's Doc.

"Mac, m'boy, I got a bout already lined up for you, within the week."

Within the week? "Ain't that a bit early, Doc?"

"Nope! You're not going to be boxing. It'll be like boxing. I've already got it all set up. Meet me at the spaceport, boy. We're off to Solaris!"
>>
>>39368355
He hangs up. Way too cheerful. You shrug. Well, at least some things are looking up. But you're finishing your jog anyway.

Two hours later, you're at the spaceport with Doc, waiting for the DropShip to start boarding procedures. "You got any of the tape from last night, Doc?"

He pulls out a portable video player. "I do, I do. I think I know why you lost, too. Watch this and see if you can tell me why."

You sit, and you watch the fight. You're doing as you normally do, ducking, weaving, and dodging, quick jab here and there, taking advantage of your quickness and lightness to wear down Mr. Dream.

But he just wasn't tiring.

This went on for five rounds- you could only get in quick jabs on him, and he only connected with maybe two or three punches total.

And then you decided to go for the Star Punch, way too early. That's where you fucked up. You telegraphed it. And you swung, and you caught an uppercut on the jaw. He had planted his feet, and punched clean through your face. No wonder you feel like you got nailed by a freight train. Explains the bruise, too.

Nobody gets up from those uppercuts. Nobody.

"Ugh," you say. "Was it really that obvious?"

"To most people? No. To you and Mr. Dream? Yeah. Yeah, it was. We gotta get your awareness up, boy, and I got just the thing. Mr. Montel got us a fight contract on Solaris. You'll be fighting within the week."

"Doc, I know I'm young, but that's still mighty fast."

"It ain't no problem, Mac. You don't have to do the fighting. Your Charger will do that for you. All you gotta do is punch people."

Punch people.

"Great! I already signed all the papers and everything. All you have to do, is get there, and kick some ass. And, uh, learn to pilot a 'Mech in a week. Well, more like four days, given the travel time."

"...What?"

"You got this, Mac!"

?

Sometimes you hate Doc. This is one of those times.

"Look. It can't be any simpler. You use your feet for the pedals, and we've rigged up special gloves so you can teleoperate the 'Mech's arms," Montel explains to you.

"Yeah, so what are all the rest of these buttons for?"

"Extraneous shit. You only need to know two." He points at one in the upper control panel. "That's the on switch. You press it, the 'Mech turns on." He points at the other, extremely large, extremely red button, that takes up the entire central section of the lower control panel. "You press that one to fire your weapons. That is linked to several rocket launchers, and a laser. Rocket launchers only work once, so only press it when you're in their face. Then just mash it until they're dead."

"Can't I just punch them until they go down?"

"You can. I'd suggest that, actually."

You mash the button with all the force you can muster.

Montel smacks you upside the head. "Hey, dumbass, you might not have noticed, but number one, you're in our hangar, full of explosive things and expensive things, number two, the mech's not on, and number three, the Rocket Launcher tubes aren't loaded.

"Now, one more thing," Montel continues. "Any weapons fire is considered cheating. But hey, it won't really matter, so long as you win. Just... don't shoot them off first thing, okay?"

You mash the button once more to show dominance. Montel smacks you upside the head again.

-

It's the day of the fight, and you're standing in your Charger, across the field from an Atlas. Who has 20 tons on you, and at least a meter in height. This seems familiar.

You mash the overhead button. The 'Mech rumbles to life, and a soothing automated voice says "Reactor online. Weapons online. Sensors..." and then it pauses.

"Sensors error."

Fuck it. What were sensors going to do for you anyway? You look up, and the Atlas is already charging towards you. The rules of the fight are physical attacks only, but you can see your cheater button already calling you. And you're not even in melee range.

"Fuck it," you say. You lean forward, hard, on the pedals, and launch the Charger at its surprisingly high top speed towards the Atlas.

The Atlas pilot, to his credit, does the exact same thing. He's not quite as fast, so you two don't quite meet in the middle, but somewhat near his end of the arena.

You wind up for a hammerblow of a swing, using your momentum to get the first punch.

But you could always kick him.

Or press the button. PRESS THE BUTTON. THE BUTTON PRESS IT PRESS THE BUTTON BUTTON BUTTON PRESS THE BUTTON

Nope. Juan there was a piloting 6 pilot.

Mac, on the other hand, was piloting 0. So, basically, a piloting god.

Yeah, punch him. That's a strategy that's never failed you. You bring up your dukes, and give the Atlas the old one-two. Your left jab bats away his arm, leaving your right for a clear punch right to the chest. That'll stagger him.

It does not stagger him.

The Atlas pilot plants his feet, and swings in a mighty uppercut.

A familiar blackness envelops you.

-

You are now Doc, watching the fight with the crowd. You watched Mac charge in, against a heavier opponent, as he's done so many times now. He drops back into a classic stance, arms up, and then the left jab comes out.

"Yeah, Mac! Give it to him, baby!" you shout, as it bats away the blocking arm, and Mac drives a hard right hook right into the chest of the Atlas.

You're excited, and then the Atlas plants his feet.

Oh.

Oh, shit, this is familiar.

The Atlas' fist rockets up, and connects solidly on the chin of the Charger. It continues to move upwards, peeling off armor in one giant flake. The head of the Charger is scooped clean out- the arena is deathly silent as the Charger freezes. The Atlas punches the Charger in the right arm, armor creaking and myomer groaning, but it's already over.

The Charger keels over on its back, knocked out with the first punch.

You think you can see a bit of red on the fist of the Atlas.

A bit of Mac.

All those years of training flash before your eyes, and then you're on your knees in the stands, vomiting.

It's not a good day.

In other news, DETROIT QUEST IS BACK!

I had expected Mac to make an appearance as part of the En Guard, but, uh. The dice chose, I suppose.

Follow (ugh) me (god I hate twitter) at @BV_470, I'll announce DETROIT QUEST 6 on there the day before.

And despite the one-round knockout, I am actually pretty happy with this megamek idea. I will, of course, do more detailed voting options for upcoming fights, but this was mostly just a trial run of the new system and a chance for me to shake off the rust in my writing.

That ain't any way to QM, seriously you're giving the dice more control over things than you have, and thats just terrible QM'ing when what we do and what you do is completely meaningless in the face of the dice.

>but this was mostly just a trial run of the new system
And it showed gaping holes in it, well more accurately your QM'ing.

Your quest isn't going to go anywhere and will end up a pathetic mess dead within a thread if you keep letting the dice run the show like that without any care for the story. If this is how your going to run Detroit Quest proper once more then we're just going to learn to not give a fuck about any character ever, not play them IC, not give a shit about objectives or anything because we know the dice are more important to the story than anything we or you do and they'll fuck us in 3 seconds flat.

What the fuck is the point of that? This isn't BT the TTG, nor is it Megamek, this is a quest, an entirely different cooperative narrative game, except with how you run things theres no cooperation, no narrative, and very little game, just lolrandumb dice happenings, and while that can be fun, when it just instakills characters for no reason at all then you have serious fucking problems.

Too bad it's been running for a couple of threads already, it's based off Battletech using Battletech rules, and you're being a whiny cunt because you didn't automatically get S-rank or whatever the fuck it is you weebs use to measure your visual novel e-peen. Right?

Fuck off, it's a fun quest and obviously you've got zero fucking clues about how it's been run previously, and you're just whining to whine.

I was running this as a one-shot for reasons of shaking the rust off. Any and all possible outcomes were perfectly fine for the larger story.

I have no problems fudging the rolls or otherwise if it suits the story. I mean, hell, I've actually been trying to kill Andre for... shit, like forever. That didn't happen.

>This isn't BT the TTG

It very much is. People can and will die. They just haven't yet.

Also I'm probably going to be making use of the Edge system more, so there will be a buffer, but I'm okay with literally anyone being able to die. If you're not, that's cool. I ain't gonna force you to stay here.

>except with how you run things theres no cooperation, no narrative, and very little game, just lolrandumb dice happenings, and while that can be fun, when it just instakills characters for no reason at all then you have serious fucking problems.

I don't think you've actually read the other quest threads.

I have and this was a massive anticlimactic retarded departure from those threads.

Well then the quest won't last long sadly, though it seems you couldn't give less of a shit.

That's why I did it here and not in the main story. Like I said. You've got to shake the rust off writing before you actually do well with it again. This was a stupid dumb romp with zero actual consequences.

>Well then the quest won't last long sadly, though it seems you couldn't give less of a shit.

I give enough of a shit to write it.

How the flying fuck did you expect anything other than am instant head capping in this? Fucking seriously, deaths in Solaris arebmeant to be rare and uncommon, then you went and put us in this match and killed us in 2 seconds.

Also
>megamek as the system and crunch
Yeah you're an idiot.

There is a rather large difference between getting knocked out in a boxing match and becoming a red smear in whatever the fuck bullshit this was.

So, does it means that this http://www.sportspickle.com/2010/07/definite-proof-doc-louis-has-been-trying-to-kill-little-mac was right all along?

really?

yes you fucking buffoon. it goes in the options field, it never stopped working

This was not a good quest, but the writing was competent.

Okay bye
>>
Also hilarious amounts of railroading. May as well have never presented choices if we were gonna end up going to Solaris anyway.

If you can find the time to extricate yourself from the secure, all-encompassing warmth of planefag's scrotum, and not try to vomit randumb shit for the sake of trying to capture a tenth of what he does during his threads, perhaps you could put this talent of yours to use in an actually entertaining story.
