There's not really any such thing as morning in space, but it's an early one by your standards. At least you have your morning coffee. Miles is out looking for juicy targets to raid, forcing you to spend more time doing actual productive work until she gets back, and you've just completed a tour of Suleimans 2, 3, and 4. You can't help feeling like they were a little more excited to see Fatima than you, but the fact that you're something of a hero to anyone who had a good reason to want to see a Paladin lose or the Green Skulls die in the cold void of space seemed to help. You had fun, in a low-key kind of way you're not used to. You sat down and spent an hour or two talking to a little boy about what it's like flying a Harpy compared to a Bluegill, you sparred with the strongest man on Suleiman 3 and won handily, but most importantly...you found a solution to your orphan problem. Namely, a man Richard put you in touch with, one Maxwell Hammer. He runs an orphanage on Suleiman 4, and you're hoping he can give you some insight into dealing with semi-feral children.

Right now, though, you're in one of the Rhinehawk's lounges, reviewing a report of a problem in the targeting system of one of the CIWS turrets. Apparently it's off by 0.6 degrees, “It's not a problem, but next time bring it to my attention immediately.” You smile, and sign off on the work order, authorizing your technicians to buy any replacement parts they need next time you're on Auditorium or California Station.

“Zzzzphhw.” Clemmy chimes in, asleep and resting on the couch beside you with her head on your lap.

JNN is on, one of the somewhat interchangeable pretty blondes they employ chattering her way through a story, “...Recent terrorist attacks on Europa have been conclusively linked to Avalon, although the rebel nation still has yet to take credit for the dozen cowardly bombings at primary Europan colonies. The locations seem to have been targets of opportunity, shuttleports, civilian residences, museums, and factories have all been attacked. The perpetrators remain at large.”

As the technician leaves with the work order, the new kid from SOUL walks in, sipping coffee from a space-compatible thermos. He carries himself well, and even though he doesn't have the same fighting edge he did the first time you met, his combat performance on 16-Psyche impressed you. Apparently Miles and Clemmy both have taken a shine to him, “Good morning, Caesar.”

He brings his feet sharply together, and flashes a perfect parade-ground salute, “Good morning Admiral, sir! Heinrich Merrow reporting for duty!” He speaks a little too fast, stumbling over his words slightly.

You frantically gesture for him to keep his voice down, indicating the girl nestled against you. He winces and covers his mouth, then smiles awkwardly, adjusting his glasses, “I'll never get over seeing her like that.” He nods at Clemmy.

“Like what?” You ask quietly, as the blonde woman stirs, her head resting against your thighs.

The kid smiles, “W-well, normal, I guess. Happy. It's kind of funny, back on the ships I used to serve on everyone was so scared of her. I was too, at first, she beat me up the first time we met.”

You raise one eyebrow, “She almost did that to me too. I think that just means she likes you.”

[Continued]

>>957205
>“She almost did that to me too. I think that just means she likes you.”
I do hear that cats headbutt people they like, and Clemmy certainly has the personality of one.

>>957205
Oh, random note, I gathered some of the mecha that we've fought that haven't made it into the rogue's gallery. Mind putting them in before you forget?

Caesar adjusts his glasses again, “It's a nice sentiment, sir, but her personnel file disagrees. She's beaten up even more UJCIDF personnel than you have. Still, I got to see her when she was happy more than most people, I guess because she was talking about you. I don't think I ever really thanked you for that.”

“Roarkey, wait up~! I can't run very well in this dress~” Clemmy mutters to herself, practically purring from her dreams, “We won't be late to the ball if we take the shortcut~”

“You don't have to, just knowing she had a friend is enough.” You demur, idly petting her hair, "I should be thanking you for that instead."

“...Sources from the UJCIDF's intelligence division reveal that the materials for these bombs likely came from the recent Avalonian raid on the base at 10-Cleo. Survivors reveal that at least two Pangasius-class cruisers were stolen, along with a trio of transports and all weapons aboard. Explosion patterns were consistent with what would be expected from repurposed mecha-based rocket platforms that would have been stored aboard these vessels...” The news drones on, “Officials suspect that Avalonian agents infiltrated Europa individually, and urge Jovian citizens to be on guard and report any suspicious behavior.” The news drones on.

Clemmy nuzzles cutely against your leg, “Ah~ Come back here Dio, you little scamp, we have to comb your hair before papa gets home~” She mutters, still talking in her sleep.

“Hey, Caesar, you know you don't have to fly on any of our raids, right? I know you're only here to get your girlfriend back, and I respect that.” You sip your coffee.

The kid shakes his head, “No, I'll pull my weight. Flying's the only thing I'm good at, and I want to make myself useful.”

so, what do suleiman 2 3 and 4 do any ways? because even one place dedicated to only farming would be just the best of things.

>>957259
>"Hmmm... So, how is karen doing with the "Kaiserswordfish"? Are you really okay with this name?"

Also, i don't believe that Avalon would do that, doesn't really seem like their style... And they just captured 5 ships full of weapons with no difficulties or damage on them? This looks a lot more like Fairchild simply send people to do that in her name.

>>957290
she does need a black ops unit.
probably going to send them to be either the new green skulls or raid our ships

>>957297
I wonder how a UJCIDF "Avalon Parody" looks like... What if they are worse than our weeaboos? And use "Neon-Knights" or something?

>>957285
Well suleiman 1 was a mining production colony. Chances are there are some factories, farms, and the like there as well.
>>957290
Honestly, while Fairchild is a possibility, I think this is a anything goes scenario. A new budding pirate band, SOUL, or Avalon using whatever they can grab for their fleet. They do have a ton of new pilots who need new machines that aren't harpies.

>>957312
fairchild will probably fill it with a bunch of sickos and jesus wannabes
>>957319
of course it could just be something different, like avalon does kinda need to know how to space instead of planet. gravity has weighed down there souls

>>957319
Man, Pirates have no reason to just bomb thing away, pirates focus on robbing, not destroying things... And Exploding museums? Seriously? Do this look like something Avalon would do?
Why would the "honorable chivalry" guys would even consider to pratice terrorism against museums and civilians?

Its so obviously Fairchild... Unless there is someone even worse at this game than her.

>>957339
Well.. yeah. Pirates can be extremists as well ya know. Somali and the like. There is also the fact that they could be fore particular reasons. Supplies, resources, data, maybe some relics or ancient machines they can use. The Duke has no home port right now and they have an influx of supporters. They need food and supplies badly and it's not going to get easier.

He looks nervous, as if he has something more to say, so you wait him out. It pays off, “You're still a lot more normal than I expected in person. None of my friends would believe me if I told them you look rumpled in the mornings and chug coffee every time you get through a warp gate.”

You shrug, “I'm just a man, I don't pretend to be anything else.”

“This is a list of the victims, along with holos of them from when they were still alive. Now, some experts believe that the killings are random, but Professor Andrew Northberg of the UJCIDF Military Academy, Colony 17, and frequent contributor to JNN Morning Sunshine, has penned a truly scathing editorial on the subject. Although the language is a bit...” The newsgirl coughs demurely, “...colorful, he raises the point that the families of six brave Bluegill veterans, heroes who died bravely fighting the minions of Avalon on 16-Psyche, perished in the blasts and believes they were deliberately targeted to have a demoralizing effect on the Jovian citizenry.” She looks seriously at the camera, “Truly, General Fairchild's words were apt when she called Avalon 'unprecedented in their devotion to terrorist tactics'. According to survivors of the Cleo base, they are even willing to arm children...CHILDREN...to fight for them!" Her voice goes from mildly heated but still professional to passionately strident, "Too bad for them, Jovian citizens are unprecedented in grit and the rugged drive to succeed. If any of them are listening to this broadcast, know this. We will never stop fighting you. We will never bow to your Lady. No matter how many of our innocent civilians you attack, we will resist you!”

A crewwoman in a blue headscarf and large shades...you assume from the scarf that she's one of your Martian recruits, stares up at the screen, her coffee forgotten in her hand, “Zey would not!” She scoffs abruptly, her accent coming through quite strongly. She remembers her coffee, throwing it down and stomping her foot with zeal, “Dishonorable! Barbarique! Savage! Le Duc would NOT!” Her thermos floats downward in the zero-gravity environment of space, and bumps off the edge of the counter at an angle, wobbling end over end as it flies towards you.

Damn it, you thought you left her on Auditorium!

“Avalonian spy!” Caesar calls out, reaching for the shortsword on his belt.

The Butcher's eyes open a fraction.

[Continued]

Soo how long do we think we got before Karen starts raging over the Avalonians using a fake Black Ogre?

>>957339
dude there is literally space hitler(the one zabi we've yet to see) and we don't even know were the fuck gendo went if he didn't fuck up and die.

>>957356
oh holy shit this is fucking hilarious

>>957356
Great timing Lori

>>957339
You know nothing about pirates. Roarke is by far atypical for a pirate. They usually just smash everything, kill people, and steal everything not nailed down. And stop spending every minute shilling for Avalon they aren't some perfect knights who didn do nuttin.

>>957356
Nevermind, coverup operation designed to silence families while looking like the good guys. Bloody hell, she even used missiles.

>>957290

It's actually the K-Swordfish, and the K actually stands for Karen. She thinks it's particularly clever because it's also a valid shortening of "King Swordfish", its title from the War.

>>957373
don't forget the rape!

>>957377
that's just great. i love it.

>>957373
I've never said they were perfect, it just don't look like their style of doing things.
>>957355
Exploding things and not robbing anything or trying to get money with scare tactic sounds very strange for pirates, they are literally just wasting ammo on random people.

>>957285

Predominantly asteroid mining, but they also farm and have minor mech-production capabilities that will get better over time.

>>957388
especially if we give them some good stuff to help.

>>957386
Every single time Avalon ever does anything you defend them despite whatever happens and try and get everyone to play nice with them

>>957386
>it just don't look like their style of doing things
Maybe not the knights, but we do know that Avalon is willing to be underhanded instead of chivalrous 100%, as demonstrated by the catgirl infiltration of the Cicero.

>>957388
Neat. Are they at a stage in their industrial and economic development where more is produced by them than is put into them, or are they still largely foundling colonies?

>>957357
Soon enough, pretty sure we know where they got the specs for it though

>>957373

This statement is hilarious to me because I know exactly how much nuttin Avalon dindu. I assure you, both sides have done some real shit. Some real shit.

>>957393
>>957394
he's not entirely long though

BUT the actual avalon leader there wanted to smack her in the face and then probably kill her.

>>957356
Yup, that's Bethany's team alright. She's apparently Fairchild's hidden trump and cleanup crew after SOUL B's fuckups.

>>957406
we just haven't seen avolon do any bad things yet. i don't think they haven't, it's just that we've seen worse with the jovians

>>957407
He wasn't the leader, another Avalonian organized the whole thing, he's just a pawn like how Amos is

>>957426
I MEANT the other one i forget the name of

he just wanted to scold her, probably not give any milk for a week or something

>>957184
>>957259
>terrorists

Well, now we know how Fairchild went about silencing those families. This might be the most legitimately angry I've been in this quest. Probably using those ships to build up the black section of SOUL, as well.

When do we gut her, again?

>>957403

They were set up several decades ago by Fatima's father, who was aggrieved by the general working conditions on some of his competitors' colonies and wanted to make his mines into actual thriving communities. He poured a vast sum of his fortune into it, but they pay off now. The Sheikh was an extremely well-liked man.

>>957436
To be fair, that might be a legit Avalonian raid used as a cover.

>>957426
I was gonna say thunder this is either Fairchild or Avalon But i highly fucking doubt it was the Avalons in system since they don't have the resources to do it, they have what 3 ships possibly less. and this really sounds like fairchild trying to hide evidence of naomi being green and her nieces fuckup.

>>957436
okay i just got this. i realy hope we get to punch sometime. im pissed right now.

You shake your head, planning to catch the thermos when it gets close enough, “No, no she isn't.” You explain. Although she was supposed to stay on Auditorium. In fact, you're sure you left her on Auditorium.

The mug floats closer, almost within arm's reach...and in a blur of black, Clemmy's belt-sword whips through it, cutting it in half. Hot coffee splashes the former Lieutenant's arm, face, and chest. She shrieks, awakened fully from her dreams by rage and pain. Before you can process what just happened, she's out of your lap and in a fighting stance. Loriette, too, pulls out a rather standard monosword of curved Martian make, not her usual one.

“You...you little bitch...” Clemmy's shoulders shake with rage, “You're dead now. Even if you hadn't tried to sneak on board my lovely fiance's ship to escape. Even if you hadn't stolen a weapon. Even if you hadn't caused trouble when Roarke and I are being lovey-dovey! Even, even, EVEN EVEN EVEN IF YOU HADN'T THROWN HOT COFFEE ON ME I'D STILL KILL YOU! YOU INTERRUPTED MY DREAM! ONCE THAT HAPPENS, YOU CAN'T EVER FIND IT AGAIN!” Her eyes blaze, the tip of her sword gleaming as the shoves Caesar aside with her free hand, “You're stealing my happiness! Stealing it!” She looks from you to Caesar, then snarls anew at Loriette, “AND MY DARLING AND MY STUDENT WERE BONDING! HOW DARE YOU SPOIL THAT PRECIOUS MOMENT!?”

Loriette isn't deterred in the slightest, pointing her sword at Clemmy, “NON! You shall NOT shout your foul imprecations at me today! How dare you, Gas Knight!? How dare your news lie most filthily about le Duc!? Even though he is a Rothschild, he is a Paladin of Avalon! He is a hero! Even where he may not be trusted in le internal politics of Avalon for le views he has, never would he condone le slaughter of peasants for no gain! Dog of Jupiter, answer for the crimes of your people, or in the name of the Lady I shall stop being the good girl for mon Rowarc and smite you for your perfidy!”

>[Grab Loriette]
>[Grab Clemmy]
>[Grab them both, with a decreased chance of success]
>[Let them fight it out]
>[Try verbal conflict resolution skills instead]

>>957442
Neat, this no doubt contributes to Fatima's popularity.

>>957393
Nah, this time i was just trying to bet on Fairchild to see if i was right before it was revealed.

And i just dislike the jovians more, i don't think that Avalon is perfect, but they are still more "honorable" than the jovians(even in a retarded way sometimes).

For me, there is no one worth of fully-defending here, not even Roarke.
There are no Heroes here, only criminals of different styles.
... But thats is pretty normal for humanity.

>>957394
I was talking about the Knights and such this time, as they are the only "faction" inside this system... There could be dissidents, but that is not much probable.
>>957426
>>957435
There was a Count who organized the infiltration plan, probably because "Jovians have no honor so we shouldn't play nice with them".

But seriously, as Wong said in >>957406
Everyone here is EVIL, there is good people in both sides, and bad people too, but if you look at the big picture, you will have reasons for attacking anybody.

...Including Roarke, as he litteraly robs pacific random people just for being near him.
>(Fatima dindu nuttin)

>>957442
how much money would we to put a star ship drydock on one of those anyways? do we have enough or do we need to steal one?

>>957448
Possible, but I doubt it. Fairchild had much more to gain by ensuring those families died. But I've just come to expect nothing but war crimes from her, so maybe it's actually legit.

>>957452
She admited that was going to kill the bluegill veterans families last session, man, it is Fairchild, CONFIRMED.

>>957454
As much as they should fight it out and get it over with, it should really not be happening when clammy has a weapon. Any weapon. So

>[Grab Clemmy]

>>957454
>>[Grab Clemmy]
>>[Try verbal conflict resolution skills instead]

>>957454
Well, let us roll, hehehe.

[Try verbal conflict resolution skills instead]

I mean, it's not like anything has gone horribly wrong yet, riiggghhhttt?

>>957452
Its is Fairchild no doubt, what I'm complaining about is how Brazil hand waves everything they do and just defends everything about them

>>957463
No, I mean that the Avalonians actually stole the stuff, but that Fairchild used explosives for a separate source and just blamed it on the legit Avalonians.

>>957466
i am aware but i was too lazy to actually find and link the post, it is 2 a,m here so i hoped some logic would defuse the tension

>>957454

Verbal conflict resolution, make it quite clear that you won't put up with the two of them fighting on your ship.

>>957454
>[Try verbal conflict resolution skills instead]
>"The first person to draw blood gets latrine duty for a week. And not my latrine, the hangar maintenance crew break room latrine."

>>957482
Ahhh... That's definitely more possible. I just really would not put anything past her, and it seems like a golden opportunity to kill three birds with one stone.

>>957485
nononono not that thats rude

explain and de escalate the situation as a hole

>>957454
>>[Grab them both, with a decreased chance of success]
>Punish them both for a week
Thats it time for discipline

>>957478
It is Brazil dude no offense brazil i like ya but your a bit daft,

>>957455

And Roarke's. The Martian media had no idea how to spin this and let it essentially speak for itself. The fact that Roarke personally came to Mars, beat Rashad to a pulp, handed him over to the authorities, then killed him when he escaped and pursued, plays very, very well among your Average Amirs. Roarke still isn't a Muslim and is still a space pirate, so it's not as if the Martians are building a palace for him or anything, but they wouldn't treat him like a common criminal. He's even more popular on the Suleiman colonies, which have Jovian, Martian, and Belt-born workers and thus him being an Ionian non-Muslim is even less of a big deal.

>>957495
dude no, neither are really in the right state of mind for that

>>957454
>[Try verbal conflict resolution skills instead]
If it fail:
>[Grab them both, with a decreased chance of success]

>"Do you think that killing each other will make me happy somehow? Are you accusing me of being some kind of edgelord Greenskull to actually get off with this non-sense?"

>>957505
Its annoying as shit to read every single thread.

>>957508
They have to be punished they aren't going to learn anyother way

>>957507
So how hard would it be to tow them to Auditorium?

Lori for Space-Christ's sake get a hold on your impotent rage. At least when Roarke gets rip-shit mad he does something about it. The very least you should control your frothing anger and not let it break your cover like a complete amateur.

Clemmy gets a pass for being legitimately fucking psycho. Also because hugs will calm her down.

Lori really does need some constructive criticism on why yelling at literally everything someone says she doesn't agree with if pants-on-head retarded.

>>957507
seriously tough if we can get marsian support we can make the martian our allies in independence.
also what does there leader look like any ways?

>>957477

You would get to roll once the decision is reached. It's effectively a Pin maneuver aimed at the sword-arm. Choose Clemmy, you spend two actions trying to grab her arm. Choose Loriette, you spend two actions trying to grab her. Choose both, you get one roll per girl.

Alright, Brazil, 6th version here. Honestly, I dunno how you got 84.8 CP on frame, armor, and options when I always get around 76-78 CP when I was adding up myself, but apparently, you know how to add better than I do.

But here it is. Lowered some servos and took out beam pistols for some melee weapons. The beam pistols were meant to be for close quarters, but I see that the range wouldn't be enough.

Here it is. http://pastebin.com/T7H6Us9r

>>957454
>>[Try verbal conflict resolution skills instead]
Right then, using logical and a show of restraint before handling things. First off, the news likely does not have the whole situation. Propaganda is a good tool and it could just as well be extremists or some idiot who decided to prove a point. Either way, Lori, you should know better than to sneak onto someone's ship, especially with recent events. Clemmy, I heard a bit of your dream. No worries, we'll make it true soon enough. Now let's calm down and talk like adults in front of the teenager.
Then give Clemmy some head pats and help clean her off.

>>957523

How patient are you and/or do you have a gate large enough for a fully assembled colony?

>>957537
We can't be easy on Clemmy and hard on Lori here. We have to be fair and unbiased in what we say.

>>957534
sadly space madness has infected them
more in clemmys case though
at least rourke's is being obsessed with punching people
and karens with being a mecha maniac

>>957478
>>957505
Because we mostly see things from a jovian perspective of "FILTHY GREENMAN LOVERS REEEEEEEE" and tend to always assume moral superiority because of this.
But i seriously disagree.
Because i think that the jovians are equally bad if not worse than the Avalonians, even if i don't really like Avalon.

And if you are going to accuse me of being daft for pointing the obvious after Fairchild have explictly pointed that she would kill the families of the guys involved in the Naomi incident.. Please point other episodes where i acted in a stupid manner and then we can begin discussing from that.

>>957528
Hmm.. pins are +1s, 2 luck for each should make them safe bets with our current hand to hand. If we are positioned right, might given them penalties and make parrying a bit easier.

>>957546
Karen is a complete womanchild though and Roarke almost worships a culture that would be like someone now acting like a medieval peasant

>>957543
yes, while not mensching how it would make us sad because that's just kinda wierd with lori here she's not a (official) member of the harem.
and it sound creepy

>>957534
>>957546

I'd say it also comes at least partially from being ace pilots. Sometimes the rivalries are friendly, sometimes you're on opposites sides of a war trying to protect your husbando from a hussy who will clearly break his heart and sell him out to her vile and sinister superiors.

>>957550
yes, but at least those things can be blamed on our upbringing and not on literal insanity.
like almost every one we meet is kinda insane.
except for fairchild of course, she completely (in)sane :)

>>957536
It was because Wong ruled Interservo link as costing 6CP.
>>957541
Is this still oficial for linking handheld weapons?

>>957549

+0, actually. I thought it was +1 too until I double-checked the corebook.

>>957454
>Grab Clemmy.

Better spend effort on the deadly one.

>>957558
so ace's are more susceptible to space madness? or does the space madness make them so good?
also is space madness a actual thing here or is it just a joke?

>>957564

Interservo melee links cost more than interservo ranged links, or are you talking about something else?

>>957560
>Not insanity
Come on now anon
>>957567
Lori's stats are about the same if I remember right

>>957572
So, how much does ranged interservo costs? I don't want to begin another "Interservo War"...

>>957568
Actual thing. All Space Pirate Captains are afflicted with it. Their Lieutenants are almost as crazy as they are, and we know most of them are aces with at least +17 to their piloting skills.

>>957576
Clemmy has no breaker and might go too far.

>>957586
so that's how it spreads the higher you go the more infected you get.
a damn shame that.

>>957597
Unless your name is Master Asia. Then you're just really, really fucking good. And a sad old man.

>>957603
he's the one to cause him. he's case 0

>>957564
Ah, forgot the Target Analyzer in my calculations. I'm an idiot. Eh, got rid of that now.

Again, the ATM is weird with that. Page 13 and 14 of the ATM state that Interservo Melee Links are 4 CP if you are going to Cross-Link them and if you're not, you spend 3.

But I'll defer to you.

>>957568

Pilots, even in our modern Air Force, have tremendous egos and a weakness for the kind of complexes that develop when you're piloting a billion-dollar ultrafast death machine. Now imagine how that could potentially be even worse in a mech.

Now remember that both of these women are the best of the best of the best for their respective teams, and both of them have significant traumas in their past.

As for space madness, both. It does actually exist, caused by isolation and the unbalancing effects of space's infinite, directionless emptiness, and as a matter of fact Clemmy does (or did) have it. Loriette doesn't have that, but what she DOES have is a social system that tells her Clemmy is her natural and social inferior and shouldn't address her without bowing and calling her "your grace". On Avalon it would be Roarke's duty to punish Clemmy for her rudeness to a visiting Countess, by the way, Lori had to specifically ask to find out that, yes, she could challenge Roarke's wives to duels because they're considered full-people and not serfs.

>>957617
Oh, I think I get why it's 6 CP for Interservo Melee.

2 for Interservo Link + 4 for Melee. At least, that's my understanding now after reading it a bit more.

>>957621
maby we should mention that pretty much every one here and not on avalon is king of there own seperate shit mountain

>>957578

It's in the ATM, or it should be.

>>957633

If she didn't know that by now she wouldn't have drawn her sword, and would have just demanded you do something to restrain Clemmy. Dueling peasants is beneath the dignity of a Paladin.

>post yfw Clemmy cuts Lori's leg and everything goes to hell

>>957655
Of topic, but have you finished up the new upgrade pastebin?

You've chosen to try talking things out. Give me a 1d10+16, and specify how much Luck you're spending if any.

Yes, I'm letting you use your Seduction score instead of Fast Talk & Persuasion, but that's because you're dealing with two women that had natural 10 Seduction rolls hit them the first time they met Roarke.

No, things have really been rather busy for me lately, and the fact that I regularly run three nights in a row doesn't help.

The Kaiser is already being upgraded with the first of its new drones, though.

>>957670
"can we just calm down and talk this out like goddamn adults please?"
DO not use any creepy "it would make me sad" comment's please, it's just so creepy man

Thunder, darling, would you kindly...?

Rolled 1 + 16 (1d10 + 16)

>>957670
Add 2 Luck. Still should've grab Clemmy IMHO.

Rolled 4 + 16 (1d10 + 16)

>>957670
Lets maybe spend 2. Ladies be vicious, and they both have the ability to slice up just about any average combatant.

>>957682
spend 4 luck please god!

>>957686
Thunder, I'd be willing to loan out a Flamewuffen when you want to start purging.

>>957683
No problem take your time, just curious

Guys its first roll only on this

With the expenditure of four luck, you can make them stop and listen for long enough to get a quick point across.

You'd be advised to make what you say very good, it determines the DC of your next roll.

>>957679
Why the hell does this keep happening. Some random bloke with no stake in here shows up, rolls a 1 and messes everything up by not spending any luck or saying a damn thing. Can we at least use the plus 2 luck? Because bloody hel that seemed to be the majority.

>>957687

It's true that sometimes talking things out is just the wrong course of action.

>>957710
...I'm tempted to distract Lori by mentioning our relationship to Berenger. Derail her train of thought. Sorta a "both sides have good and bad people, that's the way nations work"

>>957725

Roarke is related to Duchess Carnegie's mech?

>>957710
>Look I'm completely sick of this shit. Clemmy stop antagonizing her. Lori stop sneaking on my ship and taking fault with everyone hating on your faction. So your both getting punished, Lori your getting sent back to auditorium and staying their. Clemmy, no more sleeping together for the next week.
Time to be stern they won't understand any other way

>>957710
Right then. First order of business: 1, it's very early in the morning for honor matches and hot coffee does not help. Grab some cloth and help clean Clemmy off. Get some ice or something to ease the burn too. 2; As is, the media is going to be dishonest for the most part, but the fact they left with two big ships and a load of weapons is something to think about. Could grab them for answers and loot once we have a lead. Either way, Showing up on the ship without permission after what has happened recently is poor form lori, I would like to hear an explanation for it. Finally, we heard some of your dreams Clemmy. May take a bit but we can see what we can do about that Ball and a certain.. Dio was it?

>>957732
Should also maybe mention that the coffee was an accident. Lori didn't throw it at Clemmy. Clemmy cut the thermos in half in her sleep. Which is pretty impressive. I agree they should be put on time out though.

>>957732
Yesh, that is way too tough considering what happened. As is, I want to hear the why for it and with how close Clemmy is to us, that is torturous. We need to be stern yes, but not like that and it will not help the situation because they will just blame one another.

>>957758
We've tried being nice and patient and this keeps happening. We even warned Clemmy about punishing her if she did this again. You have to be stern if you want to correct a problem

>>957730
Sorry, Belegor.

If we were there, we should point out that we were there. And make Lori think who seems the more trustworthy of accounts: us or the piece of news that just came in to shit on people. Clemmy's acting like it's the end of the world when it isn't: there'll be more chances, and so remind her of that.

>>957763
There is stern and then there is jumping straight to the punishment. Clemmy was just woken up after hearing Avalonian spy and getting hot coffee sprayed on her. Yes she is going to be bloody pissed ESPECIALLY AFTER WE FACED AN ASSASSIN. Normal circumstances if that WAS a spy, this would be good. Problem is she needs to calm down. If we push sternly from the start all it will do is make things worse. We can be stern and understanding of the situation since this is indeed an accident.
Lori we need an explanation from because it makes sense that we should know why and just pushing her away won't work because we have no information so there may actually be a reason for it.
Either way we need to explain things to Caesar because this is going to get complicated no matter what.

>>957784
This isn't the first time Clemmy has fought with the other girls. And even sure this was an accident but that doesn't excuse the way she's acting. We said last time we would punish her and we have to stick by our word

>>957732
Slight Tweak.
>Enough! Lori, you're supposed to be a guest at the Auditorium. Not sneaking aboard a warship. If you wish to continue being treated like one, you should start respecting my wishes. Clemmy, you aren't off the hook either. You know who she is, that doesn't mean you can lob her head off.
>Since you aren't returning my respect, Lori, you'll be confined in the brig until we return to the Auditorium. Clemmy, you'll be her guard since you don't trust me enough to watch over her.

>>957796
Except Lori is not one of ours. She might be in the future but she is not right now. She is a prisoner, one whom can very well help get naomi back so her safety is important. As for attitude, get coffee spilt on you and awaken by something you aren't fond of while enjoying your dream and try to be calm and collected. Bloody hell, I have seen people curse and swear bloody vengence because I wake them a half hour early. The fact she isn't gutting her is a miracle.

>>957710
>>957746
>This
>>957732
Not this.

>>957818
Doesn't really punish Clemmy at all, she would enjoy it since it puts her in charge of Lori

>>957679
Catfight! WOOWOO!

>>957818
No, with this you would be giving a prize to Clemmy for overeacting after slicing coffe to her own face.

Confine Lori to a room for the time being and promise her that you will give her a stern talking to for being childish to the point of screaming at a tv and acting shady after we trusted her to be able to walk freely through auditorium.

>>957827
Probably should just split them up in separate places until they cool down. And make sure they stay there.

>>957827
Tweak. That means she's only a guard and staying away frm Roarke. Although if you can think of a Shetland duty for her, it be even better. And we need to find a way for the harem to accept Lori.

>>957853

Two of them already like her a decent amount. One has an unselfish reason that seems selfish. The other has a selfish reason that seems unselfish but isn't necessarily bad.

>>957853
>Roarke she was trying to escape, so I had to break her arm

So, before I ask for the roll, how much Luck do you want to spend this time? Three or more guarantees a minimum result of 20.

Rolled 7 + 16 (1d10 + 16)

>>957866
Lets go three luck

>>957866
Three

>>957866
Let's go with three.

“ENOUGH!” Your voice rattles even your own eardrums. Caesar nearly drops his short blade, Clemmy pauses and gives you a very hurt look. Loriette looks indignant, as if you've broken some rule of Avalonian etiquette. Too bad. Your ship, your rules.

“Roarke! She spilled-” Clemmy starts, pointing at the coffee dripping from her face.

“AN ACCIDENT!” You slam your fist down on the arm of the couch, tensing the muscles in your calves and lifting yourself to your feet.

“They have shamed-” Loriette tries to cut in, pointing angrily at the holoscreen, which has transferred to a view of some tremendous stadium packed full of people. A group of Jovian officers are gathered before a dais with a podium, General Fairchild giving a speech. It mostly seems to be about the glorious fighting prowess of Jovian pilots.

“THE NEWS CAN BE WRONG!” You admit, “Don't tell Gretchen that, but the people in charge put in the messages they want, when they want. Even if someone else did it, I'm sure they would blame Avalon.”

“No they wo-” Clemmy protests.

“YES, THEY WOULD!” You shout, “It happened to me, remember?” You rub your eyes, moving between the two duelists, “It's too early for this.”

“...And so, it is my honor to present you with the hero of this hour, a man who I am proud to call my most prized pupil, the example which all other SOUL pilots should strive to live by...” General Fairchild looks like she's having a wonderful morning, by contrast. She's full of energy and can-do spirit. It makes you sick.

“Clemmy, are you alright?” You stand up, examining her, “It doesn't look like you were burned, just taken by surprise.” You smile despite your annoyance.

“I'm pretty tough, but still, she threw that at me! What would you do if someone threw their drink at you?” She pouts.

“Mmh.” You have to admit, you've punched more than one cocky California Station pirate or bravo for spilling things on your leather jacket, “I wouldn't stab them with a monosword. Put that back. You too, Lori. I was watching the whole time, it was an accident, she was trying to be dramatic and it bounced and came at you from a completely different angle.” You shake your head, “I don't care if you fight with foam blades, wooden ones, or even stun batons, but no live steel. Don't let this happen again. Lori, get some damp dispose-o-towels and wipe her off.

“Non! Tis menial!” Loriette huffs.

“No way! I don't want her touching me! She's gross and probably has spores!” Clemmy recoils.

“It wasn't a request. Now, please. Otherwise you're banished to Auditorium, and you're banished to the couch.” You glare from Loriette to Clemmy. With mutual sighs and exchanged glowers, they comply.

[Continued]

So what are some things we should do before the tourney and everything?

>Train more with master asia
>Bring Harlock and Pomade to Bruce
>Talk with Judeah about getting materials to fix up Psyche
>Spend time with Athena and Duncan

>>957926
Think our next order of business is getting the kids to the orphanage. Seems to be the case with what we've been told. Then we get to see Maxwell and maybe even the Dutchman.

>>957925
and again roarke is the only adult in the room
(caesar is only like 16 or something)

>>957926
enjoy time with friends
console caesar
train to punch good
break that fuckig rock
start turning psyche into a mecha producing beast
maybe train with moe
enjoy time with red
enjoy time with recruits
plan to punch fairchild on live tv
listen to 80's music
relax
do some god damned paper work(sorry miles)
get miles and other officer's some damn good mechs
dream about having kids with harem
find out how to have kids with samantha
start making it ready to make the belt independent(getting ships mecha and people that share belief)
play blue gill joe
enjoy leather jacket
enjoy the 80's in general.
maby ad lori to harem if they stop hating each other
make the kaiser mp

>>957953

A brawling mech is great for a specialist and bad for an MP unit.

>>957956
JUST GIVE IT A GOD DAMN GUN GOD DAMNIT

>>957961
Then all the subsystems and tweaking for greater arm power becomes completely useless

>>957961
Then it be a MP Thoroughbred custom, not Kaiser MP.

>>957966
the gm and gundam were very very different
i'm sure we could fix that
all i want is a mech that is fast has good armor and a shield on both shoulders. i think we were going to model it after the grapearl

>>957974
>grapearl
You mean the mechs that jobbed the entirety of Gurren? Those Grapearls?

>>957969
ye but that a jovian mech.
i just want a mech made by the belt for the belt.
you know? it would be cool

>>957979
There's the Altgraf. It's basically the Gebera Tetra, so it's automatically nice.

>>957977
i dont know.
i never watched it. beside's there are a hole line of mechs that we just jobbers and there awesome here.
i think it was the bluegill? didn't it always explode at so much as a touch?

Caesar is looking at you as though you've gone insane. You enlighten him, “Caesar, this is Countess Loriette Marie le Kennedy of Avalon, Paladin and pilot of the Anseis. She's charming once you get to know her.”

“Oui.” She smiles, “Pardon moi. I am most embarrassed. But surely Caesar is not the fullness of your name, non? What is it really, young man?” She curtsies, fetching some dispose-o-towels to wipe the coffee off Clemmy with.

“I'm going to smell like coffee all day.” Clemmy complains, Loriette ignores it.

Caesar stares at Loriette as though he'd just been introduced to a giant praying mantis. “Ah...R-Roarke, there's a Paladin right there. You're just letting her walk around free. A Paladin.” He scratches his forehead, “Sir, with all due respect, you're not even wearing power armor.”

You shrug, “Do I need it?”

The kid looks gratifyingly awestruck. You meant it seriously, but he seems to have interpreted it as a deliberate one-liner.

Loriette puffs up with smug satisfaction, putting a hand over her mouth, “Ohohoho.” She giggles, “Rowarc, tres adorable, I am le savage beast to these Gas Knights.”

“Roarke, if I use my fists, it's fine, right?” Clemmy looks pleadingly at you.

“If you two want to box later, go right ahead, but no brawls in the lounge.” You negate this before it even starts. With the volume of the room dialed down, you notice what's going on on the holoscreen. That really is a huge crowd Fairchild is addressing, and they don't look like Martians but that's clearly a planetary sky behind her.

“...And so, with joy in our hearts, we celebrate this distinguished reform of our SOUL project by celebrating those whose achievements have made our successes on this world possible.” You remember what Gretchen told you about a second downed Paladin, and groan inwardly.

“So, what did you say your name was? I am sorry, but I cannot call such a nice boy by the name of an ancient tyrant. It is too funny, to picture you with le laurel crown and toga, non? Ohohoho!” Loriette cheerfully addresses the young ex-Ensign.

>[Distract Loriette from the fall of another Paladin using Caesar]

>>957984
the what? i've never heard of it in the entirety of this quest.

>>957992
>[Distract Loriette from the fall of another Paladin using Caesar]

>>957993

Not what he's talking about, but there's a much better solution in the form of the Osano-Wo'd Knights. Double swords and a big cannon with a Heavy Striker frame makes for a good officer mech.

>>957992
>>[Distract Loriette from Caesar's real name and parenthood using the holoscreen]

It's way too expensive for the tourney but I fucking love the Altgraf, although I'm not sure how exactly I plan to use it yet given it's a Medium with -3 MV, which makes it the most maneuverable-for-its-weight-class mech so far.

>>958030
Another machine that could work for the MP Mediumclass is the Huckebein. Looks sturdier than the Gundam and can even have Bigger, beefier arms with the Boxer frame.

We could use the books way for new inventions with rolling for Karen

>>958060

>>958062
gotta give it a gun or blade.

>>958062
Dafuq. Is this one of those Dreadknight frame that got ported over frm 40k.

Game resumes in an hour so Wong can eat.

>>958075
This one is a bit older. Been around since 1999.
>>958074
Well considering the boxer frame has blades in the feet, and the pack could turn into a ridable weapon, it's not completely fisticuffs. That aside, the standard Huckebein and all that come later use things like graviton rifles, bit weapons, and beam sabers. Their main weapon is the Black Hole Cannon. It's Banpresto's version of the gundam.. sorta.

is it wrong that i just love the idea of a independent belt?
because i ust fukin love the idea of a faction not in the war that could not give a fuck about the outside because we rely on any one because we literally live in a god damn asteroid belt and we want for literally nothing? it's just great
i cant wait in till we have a war for independence. i hope this lasts that long.
also hi! i have joined the name fags! haha!

Shocked we haven't run into anybody from Bebop Macross, or Votoms yet

“Lieutenant Amos Wedge, please step forward.” Fairchild looks triumphant, “Where to start? I first met Amos at the Academy when the first batch of graduate SOUL pilots was being selected. Immediately, I knew that his extreme talent for war was needed on the battlefield, so I ensured that his first assignment would be where he could do the most good, he...” She keeps talking.

“Hey, wait, I know that guy!” Caesar grins and points, “That's Amos, he's a friend of mine! That's who we're all supposed to be looking up to!? That goofball!” He bursts out laughing, “He's a great pilot, but he's never been...well, he's not the sort of person you'd expect the General to be interested in. He's a bit too ordinary for the posters. What's he done?”

“Shot down a Paladin, I heard.” You remark, crossing your arms.

Loriette stares at you in shock.

Caesar whistles, “I guess I was wrong. Yeah, we were supposed to have some kind of briefing about an incident involving a Pumpkinseed II pilot on Qu'lir, I bet it had to do with this. Look at all of those medals she's giving him! The Silver Fasces for exceptional squad leadership, Sunburst for surviving having his mech destroyed, that's the Strix for...the Strix is only given to stealth commandos, normally, I've never heard of a pilot with the Strix. First-Class Flame of Indomitability...and that's the Titanium Medal for Valor. Wow. Amos 'skips classes to go fishing' Wedge with the Titanium, I don't believe it.”

“Yeehaw! Go Lieutenant Wedge! You're a credit to Jupiter!” Clemmy cheers.

“It is thanks to the valor of these brave paragons of the UJCIDF and Martian Holy Militia that the Berenger will no longer haunt the skies of Qu'lir. Let us mourn our fallen, including the heroic Scimitar pilots who sacrificed their lives to slow the vicious Avalonian Duchess piloting this monstrosity down, but we must also look towards the future...” Fairchild just doesn't stop once she has the chance to really hog the spotlight.

You hear a muffled sound from Lorie. Her lower lip is quivering slightly, and her hair hangs in front of her eyes, “E-excuse me, please. Un moment, Rowarc. I just...I mean...I need...m-more towels, oui! We are out of them!” She pushes the full box she's holding into Clemmy's hands, pushes past you, and rushes out of the room.

Both know their military stuff. Besides, we don't want her to get any ideas or try something. This is going to be one of those mornings.

Lori, come on. You guys did choose war. Losing in battle and being captured for execution or dying outright is to be expected.

>"Lori... I can't possibly know what is going on in your head right now...is the Duchess your friend? Then there is no need to cry for her death so soon... Some birds sang to me that she is prisioner in one of the Gas Knights ships, but is still alive. Don't lose hope so soon."

Hehehehehehehe.
In fact, i just love how Dame Brazilia can be so smug and lovey-dovey at the same time.
It would be cool to see Thunder in charge for a change, to see what Wong would come up with to prevent him from killing her...

You wait a moment, watching her go, then turn to the others, "I'll be back."

Clemmy smiles a little, and nods, "Go do what you have to do."

You follow after Loriette, the sound of her boots echoing off the hallway of the Rhinehawk. You find her huddled in a corner with her head in her arms, crying openly.

You sit down beside her, and put your arm around her shoulders.

She sniffles, throws her arms around you, and starts sobbing into your shoulder.

"Lori, it's alright. She survived, I saw video of it." You try to reassure her.

It doesn't take. She shakes her head violently, tossing her drills about, "For how long?" She looks up at you, "Can you tell me, tell me truly, zat they will not execute her for what she has done?"

You can't, remembering Fairchild's promise to bring a cross to Auditorium and hang Loriette from it live on JNN.

Loriette seems to see it, her tone heartbreakingly sad. Normally, it would be a little maudlim, but then again she is most definitely a stranger alone in a strange land, "We are Paladins, if we must die, we must die...but I never thought it would be her. Oh Rowarc, for me to fall was a mark of mon youth and...and mon foolishness, but Duchess Carnegie? If even she can lose, then...then maybe we can't win afterall. Oh Rowarc, is this how our valor is rewarded?"

"There's no such thing as a bloodless war." You tell her, "Inevitably, the technological gap was going to narrow, and sometimes pilots just get lucky. What happened to Berenger could happen to anyone, even me."

"Non!" She insists, "True or false, I would not let it happen! I won't! I'll never let you be hurt, Rowarc." She looks up at you and smiles tremulously, her makeup smeared with tears. She reaches up, and runs her fingertips along your jaw, back behind your ear, "Zat is the only promise this foolish girl can make to you."

You smile down at her, and hug her tight, "Was the Duchess a friend of yours?"

She shakes her head a little, tossing her drills around, "Le Duchess Maria Carnegie is my teacher. Was my teacher. She knew more about the Lady and the Paladins than anyone. She lived before the Revolution, even before le War, and traveled the stars. She taught me and my despicable cousin everything we knew about piloting, and more, how to be noblewomen, how to be Paladins, how to be one with our striders."

Curious way she put her training, but teachers are a big deal. They help build you into the person you are. Got to respect our own, after all.

>>958262

Everyone knows the two sources of namefag power is waifushit and dicerolls.

And a fuckload of heroin.
