A little recap:

After winning a violent race against a gang of cheating mutant freaks you’ve managed to preserve your qualifying position in the Underground Grand Prix.

Still loaded on cocaine jitters, you collected your winnings and have just received a call from Crusty, your contact with the Remnant Faction.
>>
>>44776721

I have trip-dropping syndrome again, I guess.

You are currently on Hong Kong Island proper, not far from the Sun Yat Sen Memorial park.

The time and date is currently 7pm on Friday, July 24th, 2037.

Today is your payday.

<Pick up or delivery?>

He can only be talking about Jeremy. You’ve been waiting for this but you’re not prepared; unless you want to introduce Jeremy to the thoroughly insane Mrs. Shan, you haven’t gotten anything ready for him… Unless you want to head back to your old apartment. And you still have to drop off Devlinson. He’s understanding but openly showing evidence of your guilt in the theft of the specimens from GEC labs is probably a bit too much.

It'd have to be a rendesvous sufficiently outside Scyth surveillance range.

Maybe on Lion's Rock? Where the mantises live. Could teach Jeremy to shoot bats out there sometime.

Yeah, Vince needs apartment shopping for a place that will look the other way around Mr Pedebody, giant termite habitat, and underage boys.

>>44776907

>“There are rumors that your apartment was recently… dismantled. I simply want to extend some basic hospitality to one of my top employees, in case he needs a place to stay.”

So these were literal rumors and not a euphemism, since there was a news blackout? How did they spread?

Does Vince even know any neighbors who aren't dead?

<Is the General Tso's ready?>

<Obviously... but it will brink your total to 28. Cash only.>

Right, 2800 was the price. And they did show it to you recently, so you know they have it... You should be awash in funds once Devlinson gets back to GEC to add up all your specs and this 3k you just won is more than enough to cover the bill for the F-75...

You mull how you want to receive Jeremy. You don't want to go back to the old apartment right now (are your things even there anymore? Isn't garbage pickup tomorrow?) and you don't want to go anywhere too surveilled. You decide that an outdoor area will fit the bill.

<Alright, add the Tso's... and bring everything to Lion's Rock in about a half an hour.>

<What part of Lion's Rock?>

<Uh... I'll send you exact coordinates in a bit. Just deliver it a half an hour from now. The, uh, campers are getting hungry.>

<This was a conceit, not an actual code, Gwai-Lo. The channel is very secure.>

Knowing that, you decide on a location not far from where you originally sought the Mantises. They should provide security in case anyone tries to pull something on you and Jeremy...

You have a little time to spend now.

The Illegal should be able to assume direct control of the Nintendo Holo and the iMorph with remote parental locks and a flashcart of pirated games, right?

First things first, you need to drop off Devlinson. Honestly, you can't wait to get rid of him. The race must have gotten his blood pumping because he's become borderline hyperactive chatting up poor Derek about betting on your team in the UGP. When you finally pull into GEC he promises to send your weekly pay through ASAP.

Since you took the bridge on the way back, that wasn't too time consuming at all... You still have an hour and 10 minutes until the meet.

You better get 'Pedebody back before the scientists get a little too curious...

The labs are fairly empty when you arrive. There's no sign of Clarissa but a boyish scientist asks timidly if you're Mr. Esperanza.

You confirm his assumption and he guides you into the control lab.

"Here, uh, here's your animal, sir."

Mr. 'Pedebody is in a glass terrarium; the panes are coated with smeared blood and your "pet" is sitting in the middle, eviscerating guinea pig. He/she does not look up to greet you. That reminds you...

"Did you sex it?"

"Oh... Dr. Clemson tried but it bit him. He ended up having to go home before he could finish the job."

Roll 3d6+4 for animal handling.

You heap hisses of praise on your many-legged friend and then reach into the terrarium.

<Let's get out of here.>

'Pedebody drops its meal without a second thought and climbs your arm to coil around your neck. It doesn't punch as deeply into your skin this time but still, you're going to have to come up with a good explanation for why your arm looks like a blind man has been helping you shoot up.

'Pedebody hisses irritably at the nearby scientist and he takes several steps back, almost falling backwards into a tank of carnivorous waterbugs. You rub the 'pede's underside affectionately.

"Thanks for your help, egghead."

"N-no problem, sir."

You decide that you should take a little time to get 'Pedebody acquainted with your termites. Realizing that this may not be the safest meeting (although 'Pedebody was just fed) you take along your wrangling stick.

You begin by showing 'Pedebody the habitat in the back of your van. Although he's more interested in the cooler of rotting body parts (you really should do something with that) he does give the habitat some cursory attention...

For some reason my current job "lost" my check, so I've been holding off on that purchase. I'm not a great artist ('passable' would be a better word) but I'm practicing for a /tg/ project down the road and hope to one day draw a comic or two. And my editing skills are getting a regular honing..

>>44778428

Phone blueprints are available online and you have blueprints that you picked up at the Ark. Not to mention you can always invent stuff. But you do need a printer first.
>>
>>44778519
>>44778525

Holding 'Pedebody back, you reach into the habitat and snatch up a few workers. As the lid opens 'Pedebody becomes fiercely interested in getting into it and you almost lose control.

When you manage to close the habitat again, you show a few of the workers to 'Pedebody. The centipede snatches the largest one from your hand with his Forcipules and eats it immediately. The rest scurry around your hand in fear. You put them back into the habitat and close it tight.

I forgot to remove it from the CS. Just did so, so pretend that didn't happen...

Sadly, this means you cannot feed the pieces to 'pedebody (you might find some human meat another time).

Also, I would never rob you of gratuitous revenge.

>>44778753
>>44778708
>>44778735
>hiss disapprovingly

You hiss with frustration and anger at the 'pede but it mostly seems confused. Not eating insects contradicts most of its natural instincts. But it keeps its distance from the habitat out of deference to you (for now).

Your phone dings to let you know that your bank account has received an influx of cash. You don't remember hooking up the phone to your account...

>Suddenly you're aware that the ground is shaking beneath you. It has been for some time but your adrenaline and the action in front of you masked it.

>Just as they make it past the doors, your trashcan's finally go off and the centipede heads vanish, replaced by mushroom clouds that light the rafters of the ceiling on fire. A single mandible flies forth like a boomerang and buries itself in one of your tables, slicing halfway through the metal but harming neither you nor Devlinson.

You turn up the patriotic haughtiness to make your lie convincing.

"Like I would know what got me on some neo-KGB hitlist. They used to prosecute people for thought crimes, Lopez. Thought crimes!"

"Okay, okay. Well, I'll see you tonight. Stay safe out there and don't let any VTOLs land on you."

"They won't."

He hangs up.

Lion's Rock is looming closer and closer on the horizon beyond the buildings on Kowloon outskirts. You still have a little time so you decide to dial up Clarissa and do a little consulting. You're greeted by a girlish yawn and then:

"Vince? Is this line secure?"

"If your end is. My phone is a grit-job."

"Sounds uncomfortable. What's this about?"

You explain your little experiment with 'Pedebody and the termites.

"Why would you do that?! Centipedes are predators and exposing the colony to that kind of stress..."

The tirade goes on and on.

"Listen, I only showed a few workers to 'Pedebody."

"You named it? I can't believe it hasn't bitten you yet, like poor Doctor Clemson. It nearly took his hand off!"

>Well, I'm sorry about Doctor Clemson but it seems to like me...
>So there's no way I could acclimatize the two?

Oh right, they are super adaptable and will probably adjust their epigenetics strategy in response to the loss of one worker.

"Doctor Clemson obviously didn't know how to soothe a savage beast."

"He's the top handler in the control lab!"

"But did he try and speak its language? I don't think so."

"Language? What do you mean language?"

"Well, you know. I talk to 'Pedebody sometimes. Little hisses. It seems to understand them."

"Wait, really? That's incredible."

Her shock makes you a little uncomfortable. It seemed pretty natural to have your little exchanges with 'Pedebody until now.

"Well, if you can train it I'd advise just keeping it as far away from the colony and vice-versa. If you ever put the termites into an open environment, they might take preemptive action against your new... 'er, pet. You know, I really don't approve of you keeping such a-"

Blah blah blah.

"What's this about a larger environment for the termites? I thought they had to be contained."

Well, eventually they're going to need a large habitat Vince, and I doubt you have the tech on hand to produce a hermetically sealed one. Fortunately for you, we did some experiments today regarding putting two separately established colonies in close quarters. It turns out they draw their own borders with pheromones! I can give you some the next time you come by the lab."

Sounds like Vince needs a bigger house in the mountains of bug country.

>>44780895
Hey termites are good at building stuff and Jeremy can instruct them. We can MAKE ourselves a new home!
>>
>>44780983
But then where would Mr. 'Pedebody stay.
>>
>>44781023
That is a problem... Maybe Jeremy can help or the termites could build a house and live in the structures while 'Pedebody lives in the house proper? As long as they tolerate each other it should be fine.

"Yeah, those sound helpful. How intelligent are these bugs anyway, drawing borders and stuff."

"We don't quite know yet, Vincent. It's difficult to gauge the intelligence of a hive-mind. Still, Mazabureinus displays remarkable adaptability through flexible eusociality. I have a theory that it may be able to... decentralize its thinking."

"Decentralize it's thinking? It's a hive mind. It's decentralized by definition!"

"Yes but... oh. It's just a hypothesis. I need to run more experiments."

"Ah... well stay in touch I guess. I've got to go."

The greenery has snuck up on you. You're well into Lion's Rock now and nearing the point where you said you would meet with the Remnant. Cleaning yourself up as best you can, you prepare for the meet.

'Pedebody wraps himself protectively around your torso.

Fang Lo and Crusty are both present, waiting for you with a van of their own. Fang Lo is shirtless and you can finally see the twisted extent of his scars. The bottom layer looks like it was removed "naturally" but the storiated bumps and ridges on top suggest intentional scarification. Weaved across and between these patterns are detailed tattoos in black. The final effect is demonic and reminds you of the cenobites from that one movie...

<I didn't ask for your opinion.> you snap. The comedown is starting and it's making you... ornery.

Crusty nods to Fang Lo and he opens up the back of the van. Jeremy is sitting right there, staring at you. You must look bizarre.

"Vince?" his voice is slightly muffled by the mask. He sounds confused but he steps out of the van and into the sunlight, shielding his face with his hand.
"Vince, is that you?"

You smile.

"Let's skip the hug, kid."

You pat your armored abdomen.

"I haven't introduced you to the new pet yet."

As Jeremy walks towards you, brightening, Crusty speaks.

<We'll be in touch, Vince. And before I forget..>

>>44782241
Crusty snaps his fingers and Fang Lo grabs a suitcase from inside the van.

<-this was part of the deal. No charge for fresh recruits.>

15 minutes later and you're in the car. 'Pedebody is playing with Jeremy in the back seat (his powers don't affect the 'pede but they seem to enjoy playing with your wrangling stick) and everything feels surprisingly... okay?

Laughter.

"Hey, Jeremy. Everything okay back there?"

In your rear-view mirror you can see that it is. 'Pedebody is gleefully clinging to the looped end of your wrangling stick, trying to yank it away from Jeremy. The kid is smiling like the many-legged carnivore is just a big puppy. He's damn weird... but so are you. And you're not asking because you're worried.

"Everything's fine, Vince! Me and the big centipede are just playing."

"Oh, okay. Because I was wondering if you were... hungry?"

Jeremy lets go of the wrangling stick and 'Pedebody falls all over itself, entangled with its prize. It severs the metal loop in two quick bites to free itself but... you're sure you can buy a new one.

"Yes! I'm starving!"

"How does a barbeque sounds? We've just got to get some meat and then we'll come back to hang out on the mountain, okay? I want to show you some stuff."

"It sounds.... really good."

The trip to the nearest supermarket is a blur. You buy steaks and chicken and marshmallows and vegetables and whatever else strikes the fancy of you or Jeremy. You heave heavy sacks of charcoal. On the way back you task the kid with sitting in the front and keeping 'Pedebody away from all the food, despite the centipedes constant nudging of your elbows from the backseat.

Hiss hiss. (Don't be a pest!)

You decide to play it safe, pulling the van over into a rest area and parking it near a small public grill. Jeremy sits on the rear bumper of the van, watching you prepare the fire and eating marshmallows. His mask passes them through by pushing the food into an internal chamber for him to eat from. It's a shame the poor kid can't shove everything in his face like everyone else would but he doesn't seem to mind. Besides, you're pretty sure he's trying to feed the marshmallows to 'Pedebody when you're not looking.

Your head throbs and you feel tired but you're happy. You lived life to the fullest today and you can't think of a more American way to cap off your evening than this. Maybe if there were some fireworks.

You douse the charcoal in lighter fluid and hit it with a flame from your own lighter. It blows up before settling down again.

You make a pretty decent steak. Searing the outside and sealing in the juices, you make 3 medium rare hunks of meat to share between Jeremy, 'Pedebody, and yourself. On the side you make some corn-on-the-cob in tinfoil and even some asparagus, lovingly seasoned with salt and pepper.

It's not a top chef effort but it'll do.

You serve Jeremy and put a plate on the ground for 'Pedebody, who tears into the meat hungrily. You're not totally sure why you bothered cooking it for him in retrospect but you don't regret it either.

Inside the van, you open up a package of toilet paper and drop it into the termite habitat.

"Why are you doing that?"

Huh. Guess this does seem like an odd thing to be doing.

You reach in and try to extract a handful of termites. A few soldiers attempt to latch on to your hand as you do so; they're bigger and nastier than earlier but still fairly harmless.

You take them over to Jeremy and show him, explaining everything you know about Mazabureinus. Jeremy listens carefully and seems to focus. The soldiers clinging to your hand release their jaws and the workers run frantically through your fingers in never-ending loops.

"Pedebody looks up jealously from the ground and Jeremy tosses him a marshmallow to pacify him.

"So you can control them."

"Obviously! But there's something weird about them."

"What is it?"

"I'm having trouble... being precise. They're not normal. The soldiers work differently from the workers and some of the workers work differently from the others. They're complicated. I'd have to get a lot better to coordinate a lot of these together."

"It's not a big deal. These things are going to be living with us so you'll have lots of time to get better at talking to them."

"That's... a relief."

You're not sure why he sounds so hesitant but you push on with your next question.

"So... how were they different? You never had this issue with the roaches."

"They have their own pheremones. Lots of them. And the ones they emit make them react differently to my own some of the time. Like the soldiers let go of you but the workers went crazy from the same signal. And some of them look just like the others but behave differently. I can still signal them but there's something off about them that I can't tell from the outside. It's a little creepy, Vince."

"It's alright, Yu. You'll master it. For now, do you think you could draw a barrier that they can't pass over?"

"I'm not sure? I mean, I don't know."

He looks upset.

That means, in a specific circumstance, they have to be castrated. For example, some will make a post like “If typhoon signal no. 8 is hoisted tonight, I’ll be castrated.” However, this entire “culture” is just a joke. No one had been castrated because of the typhoon signal IRL.

"Hey, is everything alright? Those guys promised me they'd get you better. They didn't hurt-"

"It's fine! I'm fine!"

Jeremy gesticulates wildly and accidentally spills the contents of his plate. The food falls to the ground and is immediately pounced on by the 'pede.

"Shit, shit. I'm sorry."

"It's fine. Do you want some more food? I can-"

"No."

Jeremy curls up into a ball in the back of your van. The summer sun has nearly set. Your head throbs and you wish for a cigarette. Stupidly.

Your ex used to talk about having kids a long time ago. Situations like this were exactly why you were opposed. They're too emotional, not like nice, predictable adults at all.

"-burn some stuff. At least, that always helps me when I feel down."

You pull out the case holding the flamethrower and lay it down next to where Jeremy has curled up. Opening it up, you reveal the hefty machine inside.

"This is the F-75, military grade, designed to slice through aircraft carrier bulkheads in mere seconds. It burns so hot that it's like wielding a death ray."

Jeremy uncurls a little bit.

"I got to use one a while back, working with a... comrade."

"What kind of comrade?"

"Hmm. I guess I'd have to say he was a good one. Maybe you'll meet him one day. Probably not though."

"Can I try it?"

>No

I have to teach you how to use it tho.

Why would I show you a great toy if I didn't let you play with it?

I guess we can show him carefully. Somewhere far from the van or anything we care about.

Just absolutely, do not press that. mode switch button.

>>44784396

I wonder if there's a place without flammable things that we can see how scary the anti-personnel setting is. >>42962609

Vince should try that first, he's never turned it on before.

>>44784027
Well of course it does.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_Golden_Forum
>In the early 2000s, a discussion forum was launched to complement the website. It was originally open in structure and without topic demarcation, and destined for computing matters. Very soon, its topics became broader-based, the discussion area segregated into "computing" and "chill" areas, each with their own topics or "stations". On-line discussion groups formed. The community, formed by ordinary citizens as well as computer geeks, would be interested in all manner of local topics. In the course of discussions, slang would be widely employed. Neologisms would often develop, and these would quickly pass virally into colloquial usage.[citation needed]

I wonder what Chinese Memes are like.
>>
>>44784519
They also seem to have a Reddit Rivalry.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_Discuss_Forum
>As of January 1 2016, it is rated the 9th most frequently visited website in Hong Kong.[3]
>With the slogan "DISCUSS, Hong Kong No.1" (香討,香港No.1), meaning claiming to be "champion" in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Discuss Forum is criticized by members of Hong Kong Golden Forum.

>>44784541
A chinese meme is made by an overbearing parent that is overly complex and destroys itself because of feelings of failure and low self esteem.

"Why else would I take it out?"

Jeremy smiles as you hand over the massive weapon to him. He struggles under its weight, intended for a cybernetic super soldier. But he grins and bears it... and very quickly starts pointing it at things.

You point the nozzle at the ground and explain the different settings to him as best as you can remember.

"So if I just do this-"

A jet of white hot flame shoots from the nozzle and cuts the grill off at the stem. Hot coals tumble over onto the grass. You rush over and pour out a two liter of soda on the fire.

"Hah, I can't believe you- oh."

Looking back at Jeremy, he's holding the massive F-75 and pointing it straight at you.

"I don't want to do this..."

>Then don't.
>What's this about?
>Put that down. Now.
>write-in

>>44784611

Aw fugg, either Mr. Pedebody or Jeremy gonna die now.

Haha time for emotions and confessions of boyhood trauma.

>>44784658

"Then don't. What's going on?"

"Those other guys... they asked me all kinds of questions about my... ability. And now you work for them. And you're asking questions too!"

You're tempted to reply snarkily, as that's all early teenager logic like this deserves but your better angels win out. Barely.

"Jeremy, I'm working for them because I can't afford to keep hiding you and working at the Exterminator company. It's the only way to keep you safe."

"Why should I believe that?"

"I'll tell you if you put the flamethrower down."

He puts it to the side.

>Because you're very important to me.
>Because you're worth your weight in gold (charge him and snatch away the flamethrower)
>Because you deserve a decent life.
>Because you remind me of me.
>Because hiss hiss (sic 'em boy!)

hack the flamethrower and remote detonate it

Normal is a bit of a stretch but safe is something I can probably do.

"Jeremy, everyone wants to tell you who you should be without even an iota of care for who you are. I wouldn't care if you could shit gold, I just want you to have a chance that I blew. I want you to have a good life."
>>
>>44784951
Also, Vince offered to take Jeremy in on day 1 long before he ever thought Jeremy could use his bug empathy to defend himself. That didn't change.

"Because," you begin, walking slowly towards Jeremy, "I'd never want to hurt you. You're just a kid who got screwed over by things bigger than you. I know you don't want to go home because you're ashamed and scared and if I'm being honest, I feel the same way sometimes. Scared that is."

You smile at the kid and he smiles back.

"Jeremy, I wouldn't care if you could shit gold. I took you in on day 1. I just want you to have the chance that I blew. I need you to have a good life."

He's a little spindly, but it's a good hug. A really good hug.

>End thread

We'll pick up next time in the morning, after spending your night camping in the van. You'll have a court trip and a bunch of fresh perks based on everything that happened today (expect invention/engineering, animal handling progress, shooting level up and more).

Depending on how this weekend goes, I may run a spinoff one-shot featuring everyones' favorite Inspector.
>>
>>44785066
Well only one of those posts did.

I was more expecting pedebody to take matters into his own forcipules.
>>
>>44785066
I thought Jeremy would burn the termite colony instead of this.
>>
>>44785066
Secretary Banging Quest? Now Simmons you know what happened to Modern Satyr Quest.
>>
>>44785138

He's smart but he's not "recognize a flamethrower" smart. Not yet anyway.

Also, it's doubtful Jeremy was gonna actually kill you here anyway. He could do that almost any time he wants.

>>44785159
>burn the termite colony

But Mazabureinus is my DMPC! Kidding.

Anyway, we're already archived:
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?searchall=exterminator+quest

And I would appreciate votes of any kind. I'd rather have kept running until 3am but I have to get up early in the morning. Maybe instead of the one-shot we'll run a sequel thread on the weekend.

>>44785199
>Now Simmons you know what happened to Modern Satyr Quest.

I don't but you've piqued my curiosity.

Well I thought as an orc warlord quest fan you'd be well versed in the fate of its father and inspiration.

It was 3smutty5me for the mods. Or maybe they objected to the lack of dice rolls for anything? But there are other quests like that.

So it must have been the smut and giant goat dick driving the plot.
>>
>>44785396

I'm looking over it. That is some industrial depravity but I'm not sure why it surprises anyone.

I guess the mods expected it to move to /d/.

>>44785450
The IRC logs were leaked in January 2015 shedding light on it at the time.

Apparently only medieval fantasy settings fit.

There was a very brief crossover on moe. The QMs were big fans of each other.

Well the first time Vince met Jeremy he knocked him unconscious with a stick and tied him up.

So now they're even.

Always get the most honest conversations when one person is holding the other's life in their hands.

When did Vince finally realize anime was trash?
