NEW PLAYERS WELCOME

Welcome to Gyrocite.

You play as an all-around "handy man" for an upstart company whose invention could change the world along with its partners. Your current job is finding the last of some stolen prototypes and possibly finding a way through an old abandoned passage which was totally filled with cave spiders.

Don't worry about catching up or trying to understand it all. Just play along

Previous thread: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/1655250/

A quick start guide is there to explain general concepts. Please find the rest of the manual here:

Don't worry about all the math. A character calculator is provided to make things easier here:

Don't want to read 10 plus pages of god damn rules? Try out these premade loadouts. Pick Fencers for decent tanking or Gunslinger/Brawler for DPS. If you try to make your own character, and I invite you to, there's a basic template to follow below

Quen: Whatever was scraping metal is gone. That's got to be the strangest thing about this whole place.

William: Really? Te fookin meter long cave spiders aren't te weirdest thing? Oh, one more thin...

William pulls out the vocaven again and dials Samantha

William: Aye, Sammy. Ye find our rat yet?

Samantha: Hey Willi, nothing yet. We've set up a base here and are interviewing them now. It's not like we can keep them here forever though.

William: *Sigh* Alright then. Let's open this damn door and finish te job.

>>1680948
That is not a boost, just regeneration. I am keeping track of RE 13 affecting my EN. I was also not aware reloading took 6AP, I had thought it was 3AP for the generic 'interact'. Thank you for double checking for me.

6 imbue (2F, Aelid, Venmaraite Barrier F)
4 move (eee)
3 interact (Zeus, exchange catalyst)

If it is 3AP to unload and 3AP to reload, I will simply unload the Venmarite Catalyst.

>>1680968
Ah yeah you have the capicicoat why did I make that thing

It's 6ap to change ammo period so I'm going to say it's the same for catalysts.

Imbue will mean you give her the element of moving mass. I wonder what that will do :P

>>1680989
I would be happy if the capaci-coat was just a lot of EN and no additional RE, personally.

If you would permit one last change, then, I would rather swap the catalyst than make the movement:

To Aleid, I apologize in advance if the world is suddenly turned frictionless. I thought that I could direct it.

William: What in te Seven is that?

Quen: Wait a minute; what!? I know what that is!

William: Don’t tell me ye know what these things are.

Quen: I kind of do. They were..people... but it looks like they’re really… some type of machine? They walked with us briefly when we were given the merch but…. I thought they were people. They looked like bodyguards for I’m guessing one of Eldson’s goons.

William: Te damn thin is made’o metal how the hell did’ya not notice?

Quen: We were all wrapped up to stay warm. We weren’t in the caves yet. That explains why they didn’t talk and felt so strange.

William looks around at the scene of scattered Phantasmite corpses everywhere.

William: I don’t even want te even think this thing did all that to those Phantasmites. I’m calling Sammy right now. Quen, how many of these things were there?

Quen: I remember three.

[Enemy Phase]

{1M} Tarbor 24/24 (9); Tarbor examines the glowing blue liquid from a safe distance. He determines it’s Vitamer. That’s a substance used in hospitals to treat patients with grievous injuries. It also makes a good blood substitute in a pinch.
{2F} Aleid 24/24 (11) 10/10 Aleid’s Gyre Field is imbued with Venmarite. The Gyre Fields barrier is noticeable visible. (Imbue affects ALL of your equipment powered your +2LI on GFE || +2PEN when attacking)

Samantha pauses for a moment. You can hear her speaking to herself through the Vocaven: That was always an idea but why Vitamer… What is he doing?

As William walks down the passage he can hear clicking and gyrations of machinery. The automaton stutters its head towards him. It’s movements stilted but with purpose and with great effort. A faint sound, distorted and mechanical, comes out but is too weak for William to hear. Both it's legs and an arm missing, it dragged itself here.

William: It’s yappin? That thin ain’t gona last too long. Girly, do us a favor and check it out? I got ye back; don’t worry.

It is strange that [Catalyze] is a weapon when Samantha is so wary of Gyre tech being used in that way. Also, I was aiming for the scientist type, not the battlemage. Alas.

I do not have the range to affect the beast directly. Also, I have a phobia of giant monsters.

Emphasizing the aspects of flow and energy and inspired by the works of Basil Bloom, I want their GFE to absorb kinetic energy and emit blinding flashes when Alexander strikes with his fists in turn.

So an interesting thing can happen. If you end up with only 1 energy and you're attacked what happens? Simply put the GFE still defends you as if it still had enough energy to do so. Keep that in mind when taking on other foes who have the same.

I totally wish someone picked gunslinger

Also I'm outright banning this next time. I'm going with it for now because it's funny.

Alas, there goes the one-turn kill. Ah well, my bad.

How much of 'this' do you mean, because leaping into the air and Elbow Dropping enemies repeatedly was part of my original game plan. I just didn't see indefinitely high ceilings as a potential occurrence.

=================================

Several days had past since the Beta Cave job. After initial cleanup Bloom Applications was able to utilize the route cutting their delivery times to the Chrysian Kingdoms by 2 days. It was a minor victory but much needed after the fallout 4 years ago. With the prototypes secured and the immense data stores on them Eldson's team had conveniently left the companies would be able to finally go to market after 3 and half years of struggle. Not everything was finished however. Your crew was summoned to Samantha's lab.

=================================

A short pale young women with auburn hair, Samantha Gyre is the younger of the two Gyre siblings. Samuel her brother is of average height and build with similar features. The two of them are at the end of the table when they meet you.

Samantha: Thanks for coming on such short notice. We have to thank you for retrieving those prototypes.

Samuel: Yes I have to agree with my sister. You all saved us months of work with that. We'll be ready to go to market very soon. I'm sure you may have questions but before that let's get this out the way first.

Samuel pulls out a satchel and several envelopes. He places one in front of each of you along with pens.

Samuel: If you sign right here you'll be official members of Gyre Applications. Along with that here's your pay for the job and a signing bonus. We'll arrange places for you to stay within Laissez. Try to be careful around town. A lot of the nets are old and if you fall off the edge you might not come back up.

Samantha: Oh and I'll sure to bring Alexander's his.

Samuel: Now is a really important time. I'm sure you seen what our technology is capable of. With this we can change the world. There's more we need help with and if all goes well we'll have plenty of work for you to do. You've all proven yourselves very capable. We hope you join us.

>Each participant receives 10,000 Notes as pay.
>Each participant receives 2,000 Notes as a signing bonus
>{Foreman} receives 1,000 extra notes.
>Each member also receives one stat point (Please stand by for updates)

Thank you for playing! Stay tuned for more. As of this time please ask any questions you may have. We'll be switching to [Story Phase] 12 hours from now.

[Gunslinger++] is an upgraded Gunslinger, right? I don't know what to spend my point on, can I upgrade Dynamo Engineer? Can I upgrade a Dynamo PRT such as [Imbue]?

>>1686146
I would spend it to upgrade our Gyre and Dynamo equipment, working alongside Samantha in the labs instead if I could. A smaller upgrade that helps everyone.

>>1685564

"Urgh, this thing was always on to tight for me. Can we do something to fix it???"

Ꞥ12k will get you pretty far.

Contract is pretty bare bones. You get lump sum payments per task completed. They aren't liable for injuries on the job. There's another 20 pages but you get bored of it pretty quickly.

Since noone was using gunslinger I was taking time to add and move things around. The intention of a gunslinger is to destroy shields. That was all and good but I needed some more utility. Being able to defend against range attacks with [%Tit for tat] and controlling aggro with [#Trickster] gives them more options while rewarding good positioning.

As for [+Ace in the Hole] and [+2bit-slinger], well if you ask William he'll tell you he learned it from someone. He won't say much after that.

>>1686146
You're style of play was....interesting. Imbuements are pretty straightforward as in "this catalyst does this". Catalyzing the environment however is where you can be more creative.

Catalyzing Venmarite would have enabled you to move the stones around the cave to provide cover or even close off encounters all together.

Catalyzing Solvenide makes things either hot or cold. Make the floor impassable by making it as hot as fire. Freeze the air around you to form fog then immediately heat it to cause gusts of wind.

Unless you mess with the reaction you're just affecting a single square which is useful in some cases but environments are usually much bigger.

[^▲Sentimental Trinket] 4EQ; Carry something personally important to you; provide a description and roll 1d24 to see what it does.


I should clear up how these work. Essentially they are a "quest". You have to spend a PRT and 4EQ and keep it at least for a map. What makes it special is that it is or can be a custom item only you will have. The item is valuable enough to you that you'll be willing to pay its high price.

When you roll you're rolling for the quality

2-13 Junk (Item is nearly worthless, talking to people may help restore it. It'l cost you though)

14-19 Broken (Item is still in bad shape, talking to people may help fix it)

20-23 Workable (Item immediately works and is about as good as starting gear)

Now....We'll be going on to [Story Phase]. This works like a semi quest mode to further write the
the plot. Social PRTs work during this time as well.

[STORY PHASE]

After Samuel made his pitch and went over the terms of your employment, you were given some time to think over everything while he left to finalize paperwork. Ꞥ12k was about three months pay in Laissez and would get you pretty far. You at least had money to stay somewhere and could get some food even if for a couple months. Samantha pulled out a notebook and started writing things down. She continued for a moment before looking up. Her hand still held the pen over the book

Samantha: Alright then everyone. I'm glad you mostly came out of that unscathed, well except for Alexander. I wanted to update you guys on what happened after you guys left and the cleanup crew followed after. We were able to find the plant. You guys ended up killing him. I'm guessing he called himself Big E? He had some notes on his corpse with instructions and several account books to Capitus Bank. Mr. Bloom had to pull a favor on getting that information but it seems he was smuggling for Eldson for some time. We confirmed that when we interrogated the rest of the smugglers. From what we've gathered from them, Eldson has been developing technology of his own using our Gyre fields. In order for noone to find out he's been running several remote labs all around Chryse. Three years ago Sam and I went to Eldson to help develop the technology my father had invented. We made some progress but it became apparent that Eldson was planning on taking all the credit and profits for our work. We eventually had a falling out and ended up partnering with Flouris, Bloom Applications, and Rose and Tower Arms. That's a story for another day however.

We're still looking at those automatons you got us. I've never seen anything like it before. My father had written plans on them before but the power needed to make them work was beyond impractical. If it's related to Eldson I'm afraid it's related to us as well.

Anyways before I keep going. Were there any questions? We only briefly looked at your files when we hired you. This isn't something Samuel or I are used to yet. If I can confess I really thought William was a handyman for some time.

>>1687162 "so we have to buy and update our own equipment?? Just wanted to put that out."

>>1687162
Julien fixes Samantha with his most practiced "icy" gaze, a wry, disbelieving grin flashing
"You mean to say you barely read files before you sent us into a fight?
How desperate are you exactly?"

"Do you realize that this Eldson wont be your only problem once these creations meet the market right? All of civilization will want a piece of the pie, and that means trouble, and trouble means LOTS of trouble money.."


"I would ask you to read my file more, I may able to offer help in the ways of these merchant houses you're sure to be receiving contact from soon....though in exchange for this further expertise I would ask for help in my own problems"


>[Observe] her reaction carefully if I can, see if she panics or glances at her brother when I talk about trouble from everyone
{Tact}

>>1687222
"......so does that mean you can find me/us premium food???"

>>1687233
Stop thinking about food for a moment you fool, and realize that *THIS* contract and it's oaths of loyalty have the potential to leave us all dead in a ditch

>>1687212
We can provide you what we have lying around in the lab. Right now there isn't much available but I think if you talk to Nik and Leo they can help out with that. They're our chief engineers. They're pretty busy with a project so you'll meet them later.

As for any good places to eat I'm sure I can ask Emilia later.

>>1687222
> She is unfazed with only the smallest imperceptible half look towards her brother. She has the eyes of a survivor. This is a question she's been asked many times.

Samantha meets Julien's icy glare with a warm smile: I may have asked the same of you since most would not readily accept to explore the caves. Especially someone with...I'm sorry, who had your status. As for what may happen introducing our technology to the world I'm very aware of what might come to pass. My father had the same worries when he first discovered the phenomenon named after him. Unfortunately my father and eventually us came to the conclusion that nature would take its course and weaponize it. Not surprising that Flourish and Rose and Arms were the first to reach out to us but then again that was during a difficult time for all of us.

Samuel returns from his office. The twins had had this conversation before as even without context Samuel adds: This isn't something we took lightly. As for the world coming after us that's likely not to happen for now. Our father first discovered Gyre waves over 30 years ago. Hundreds of brilliant minds tried to understand them but couldn't break through. Despite this our father spent the rest of his life trying to create a device to manipulate them. Most people believe them to be a simple parlor trick and to do what Samantha has done with them would be seen as impossible.

Samuel shuffles through his curses about forgetting one and leaves the room again.

>>1687157
> Are you accepting that Senzei has been working with Gyre for a long time? Dynamo Engineer, trained under her directly. Worships Samantha for her genius and she views him as a loyal tool, something like that.

Senzei waits his turn and speaks last, stuttering out, "the-the prototypes that were recovered, have they been analysed? Have the Eldson labs produced something that could... /match/ the Gyre?". He stares directly at Samantha before glancing away.

"Also, the automatons were talking about keys and freedoms. Was it nonsense, or did it have meaning?

>>1687327
All of you were either hired days ago or have been working for a year and a half. Those that have been working for them were "hired" for a new position

Samantha: From what I've seen those smugglers were using some. They aren't as capable as ours but it's worrying.

William did say the automatons were talking. Honestly they're something out of a story my father told me. We have them in the lab and are looking at them now. As for what it meant your guess is as good as mine.

>>1687309
Julien smiles, a wide genuine grin in return, his eyes flashing in Revelation.

"Ahhh, so you ARE desperate, if you would make a statement of comparisons such as that."

He shrugs with an air of indifference

"My situation was never in doubt or denial, though the snub is appreciated for the attempt, if my status was denial you wouldn't know about it, as I would not have let you know. Though it IS good to see we have a common drive behind the both of us, it forges strong bonds, I've learned."

Julien leans forward, brushing his hair out of his face nonchalantly.

"SO, you know who I am, and what I can do with my arm, and I am certain you understand the value of my mind, as I can see you're a sharp one. Again I can help you with the nobles and merchants and guilds and even the odd stabbing, but can you help me with what I need?"

>Keep observing her, watch how she reacts to everything.

>>1687361
Roll when observing

>Samantha simply continues smiling warmly

Samantha: I guess the first thing we can do is keep the Chrysian Guard from taking you away, and maybe pay you. I believe our arrangement has been favorable to you so far. Are you considering renegotiating? From what ground I wonder.

>>1687371
"I must say, I am not surprised to see Julien asking for more. That said, he is also not wrong. If we are to be your testbed, and your -hm- 'handymen' I do think we should get more than simply cash. A modest share of the company, perhaps? Ensures our loyalty, motivates us to try harder, and even the tiniest piece of the pie that will rewrite the world-order is invaluable.
It seems a fair exchange to me. I am certain many of my fellows agree, yes?"

Rolled 8 (1d24)

>>1687371
"From the grounds your brother, try as he might, won't know the delicates of navigating the noble houses you'll need to deal with. I know them.
Unless, of course, you would rather waste ALL of my time beating goons with swords."

He sighs wearily

I see you're a bit blunt, for all your sharpness, and quicker to anger than is becoming of a lady who isn't being insulted. So I'll say it clearly: I can do more than just swing a sword, and I can do that for you, but I will want help, as I'm just as desperate as you.

I won't have my name tarnished forever by a bunch of scum, if that means getting my hands dirty so be it.
It's better to die a lion than to live as a sheep. Wouldn't you agree?

Or would you rather make more threats against one of the few fools willing to help you? Shall I call the guard myself?

>Rolling even though there's no need any longer

>>1687425
Ah, my friend, you do not know everything.
I'm not asking for more money I'm asking for-..er... Well it's complicated

>>1687425
Your shares are already within your contract. It's modest but I believe will keep you comfortable. Maybe even wealthy if a time comes.

>>1687436
Samantha chuckles at the fencer: Took you long enough. Blunt is how we Capitians talk. It's best you learn that soon Chrysian. For now all we require is your sword arm. There may be a time when your other...talents are of use. As for your issue. That will solution will come in time. Although details would help as the file was...Purplish?

>>1687467
Julien laughs with her


You'd do well to work on your {Tact}
There will be a time when those you must deal with aren't going to enjoy your refusal to play their games, that makes enemies, it does, enemies with connections.


Now what do you mean by "purplish"?

Alexander awakens, likely to the not-unfamiliar sight of a hospital ceiling.

>>1687309
"And thanks Samantha it helps to get a meal before doing a job. You never know when your gonna be able to get another ." He says with a while patting his large poncho/duster. "Now that leaves me wondering about armor...And if the eateries would be willing to let me borrow some ingredients...Hmm...Oh and sorry if my file is covered in flour, its hard to find a clean space in a bakery."

>>1687573
Yes we'll get to that momentarily

>>1687515
Samantha: And that's why your type are hired. As for purplish well...

???: It means whoever wrote it thinks too highly of themselves..

A young girl enters the room holding a stack of papers. Samuel follows behind her: Emilia that isn't nice to say. Here, give everyone a packet. They'll need it.

Samuel pats Emilia's head as he walks over to sit next to Samantha: Bad news Sis. It looks like we're going to have to go with that arrangement.

Samantha stifles a chuckle clearly amused: I still think it's the best option personally

Samuel addresses everyone as he stands: Alright well as part of our contract we are obligated to find you a residence. It's an old tenement house we're currently using as storage. It'll be yours to use but I have to say.....being honest it's pretty run down. In the packet you'll find all available facilities. It has your standard fare. You will all have your own room however the kitchen and bathrooms are communal.

Emilia: And before you ask about renting somewhere else, we already looked. There's nothing you can reasonably afford.

Samuel slightly perturbed: Thank you Emilia. In time we'll provide a list of all potential upgrades we were hoping to do. As agreed it is yours to do as you please. We'll allow you to live there rent fee. As of now we own it but in time you can purchase it as a co-op.

Emilia: You just got a bonus just use that.

Samuel hisses: Not now Emilia

>Attached you find documents pertaining to a tenement building. It will be your shared residence. There's five floors each housing several rooms. The first floor contains a communal space and the kitchen. There's a basement (that's flooded), an observatory, and a courtyard.

Aside from that we'll ask for your help in all tasks related to the company. We
ll contact you for any "Overtime". With that all said. Anything else you'd like to talk about before we adjourn?

>>1687766
Are we free to attempt to "upgrade: the building or modify as we see fit?

>>1687803
Emilia: You can but I'd doubt anyone will let you get the permits and even if they did we don't pay you enough to get just anything

Samuel: Emilia! I'm sorry about that. You all will be living in the historic district so it's hard enough as it is to get permits for construction. The upgrades I will provide later are all set up and ready to go. Once I have everything ready all you would need to do is hand over the funds and we could arrange renovations and construction post haste.

>>1687830
*tears in his eyes..*
"Oh...Okay...Well moving on."

>>1687766
Julien laughs boisterously
"Ah, forgive the gentleman if he thinks he's special when he can fend off a 5 ton monstrosity -alone- with nothing but his skills and a blade..it must be a REMARKABLY common skill here"

He turns to face samtha again, standing.

Ah, well discuss the details of how I will need help later, over a lunch or something perhaps, and suffice to say it requires time and manpower, much as I'll be giving to you..
But for now, where could I go to get my family's prized armor restored? No slipshod forkforger, mind, but an at least adept professional.

>>1687848
Emilia sticks out her tongue: Yeah well Uncle Gerald once split an airship in half.

Samuel: Emilia!

Samantha chuckles: I'll have to decline on the lunch fencer. As for your armor that's nothing I can do. Maybe you'll find someone in time.

The siblings stand up and start walking towards the exit taking Emilia with them.

Samantha: Enjoy the air of Laissez. We'll be in contact when we need you again.

You're left alone with directions to your new residence. Vocavens are ready waiting for you at the home when the call comes.

[End Story Phase]

PLOT TIEM

Weeks had passed since being hired by the Gyre Siblings. Their first preliminary Gyre Field Emitter the “Prometheus” hit shelves and was wildly successful. It was marketed as a self defense device and was being sold mainly to security companies. Little did anyone outside know that was only fraction of what was developed. From eavesdropping the group found out the Council was wary of the Gyre’s technology. They wanted to see how the public would react among other excuses. As dismayed as the siblings were from their limitations they could at least finally show their father’s work to the world and a less destructive one at that.

In the interim you spent your time adjusting to the altitude of Laissez. You were told you might be called eventually for “Overtime” but for now you just had to do whatever odd job your skills enabled you to do to help the company. Laissez was a nice place albeit cold. It definitely was a strange city. Built on top of a mountain range around several hundred crags it almost felt like it was floating. Some days when the clouds would clear you could see the bottom several hundred meters below. It took some getting used to using airships to get from one district to the next but after some time they were a comfortable site. You each remember your own hard lessons of learning the airships stop running after sun down.

Remember kids, dont try to have lunch or eat a feast on the crows nest or near the engines...The view is amazing, but the person occupying it may shove you off and you will have a hard fall...Or the noise upon it starting as you try to eat a sandwich is quite painful!
Trust me I have personal experience.

"The man of the hour. Follow my finger, if you please. Here, here, there... good as could be expected. Better, even.

Tarbor moves on to further checkups. "You do remember, don't you? The great white mite? That was well struck. A month or so ago, I wouldn't have believed a man could make such a splatter of anything. Or be brought back from it after. What a world these little gadgets build for us.

"Pay and paperwork for more of it on the table next to you. But perhaps you'd like more rest." Tarbor pats Alexander's shoulder as he stands, and hesitates at the cast there. "This'll come off soon enough."

One day you’re woken up before sunrise by a vocaven. It’s Samantha. She asks you to come meet her at Bloom hall immediately for an emergency meeting. You get dressed and start to meet her. Even for its short notice this wasn’t an ordinary meeting. When you arrived with Samantha, William and Catrina were already idling by. Gerald, the president of Flouris Blade Co. had called the meeting but isn’t anywhere to be seen. All Samantha was told was that she needed to gather all of you.

Samantha: William!

William: Heya Sammy, where’s ye brother?

Samantha: He’s still a days out in Faire. He’s working with Mr. Bloom to secure another site for something. What’s going on? Why were we called so early and why’s Catrina here?

Catrina still yawning: I don’t know. They asked for Quen, Jenmah, and I. I tried to drag them here but they wouldn’t wake up.

William stretches out his arms and places his feet on a chair: Our team did some diggin and found Eldson’s engineer ’bout 2 hours ago. E’s on te north side of Felmen Hollow. We were supposed te meet tomorrow mornin to talk about it so I’m not sure why he’s makin it earlier. The old bastard ain’t movin anywhere so I didn’t see a point. Must’a found some more important info. Bit annoyin’e calls us an’ ain’t even’ere himself.

The three catch up while you sit on the benches trying to recover sleep. You start to doze off when a door is kicked open and two men enter drunkenly singing. An unknown fat man is holding up Gerald, president of Flouris Blade Co. Gerald is a tall man with long arms and legs. His disheveled black hair covers his face as he continues to sing.

Samantha glared at the fat man holding up Gerald: And you are?

The man places Gerald on a nearby table and joins you at the table without even acknowledging Samantha: Geoffrey Billings of the Capitus United Workers Association. Sorry bout the noise hehehe. Seems you lot took care of quite a problem for your employers. Are they compensating you well? What are your benefits? Do you know your rights? I’m here to make sure you the worker are getting your share of the pie. I’ve dealt with these types before. You have any issue. I’ll fight for you. You never know when they’ll throw you to the wolvines.

William: Or phantasmites....

Geoffrey: Exactly!

Samantha visibly frustrated: Alright already what do you want?

Ignoring Samantha as if not even there, Geoffrey continues: In any case. While I am here to represent you, I’ve been sent by HQ to request a little problem be taken care of.

William glances at Samantha with a knowing nod: Oi…what ye gettin at?

Geoffrey: Well it seems Eldson has been pretty busy hasn’t he? Gerald told me quite the tale after a few drinks. Hehehehe. It seems we finally have a case thanks to that botched smuggling job. And you even saw a metal man? Quite the tale indeed.

Gerald: Qui….that wine was magnificent.

Samantha: You drunk! Those briefings are confidential!

Geoffrey: Consider it a blessing people. You see, that talk of an automaton interested us. We’ve been following Eldson for some time now and some of his work has been…..concerning. Our representatives have reported incidents I hate even thinking about. Apparently one of those metal men went rogue and a team was sent to get it back or dispose of it. Only two came back! Our member said that the hunk of metal apparently would hide from them and attack them when they were separated. Having those automatons running around would be a big problem.

Samantha ponderously interjects: ...because using robot soldiers can’t lead to anything good. War and conflict would be worse, and if they’re as intelligent as you say they are...Eldson what are you...

Geoffrey: What? NO! If they can get it to do that then they can get it to do all kinds of work. Our members would be jobless! We can’t have that!

Samantha was becoming increasingly more agitated and was ready to chide the Union Rep but Catrina chimed in before her: Excuse me. You said you represented workers? What’s the smuggling job have to do with you guys? We were off the books.

Geoffrey: Were you really? Not according to these... hehehehehe

Geoffrey grinned wildly. He reached into his bag, produced three envelopes within them folded red packets of parchment, and laid them out on the table. There was a packet for Quen, Jenmah, and Catrina each. Within the packets were details of the job, conditions, wages, and life insurance policies written with Eldson Industries as the benefactor for all three; each smuggler’s policy being well over 1,500,000 notes.

William: Red slips? Oi’ell that just ain’t right. Eldson ye fooker.

Used by Laissez Labor, the sole temp agency of Capitus, they officially sanctioned, tasked, and gave companies temporary powers to complete unorthodoxed jobs as well as provided labor to do so.

Catrina: Then that means mother and father….

Catrina was shattered. She looked down into her lap as tears rolled off her face. Unsure of what to do, Samantha held the girl close as Catrina trembled.

Geoffrey: Funny thing is that he’s been using several smuggling routes for a couple of years now. LL has seen several of these contracts by some shell company or another. He wasn’t just keeping any normal secret. More of these jobs started popping up.

He eyes Samantha: I’m guessing around the time you had a little falling out?

Samantha glares back before attending to Catrina again. Unfazed he continues.

Geoffrey: Seems Eldson was playing several angles on this one: He smuggles some prototypes to an engineer he’s got hiding out in the woods, right in your territory too, averting any competitors, gets to test his knockoff brand with live battles, and pays himself on top of it. I just want to know how he even got policies for that much! Sorry sweetheart but that’s some serious cash even for your sweet face.

*CLACK* The sound of a metal sheath thunders throughout the hall. As everyone recovers from the shock, a gravelly voice speaks.

Gerald: It’s because they’re high born.

The room fell silent. Everyone turned their heads to face Gerald. The fencer stood soberly at the end of the table. His eyes fixed on Catrina as he walked towards her.

Gerald: You would need to pay quite a sum to keep our neighbors sated were their kin to come to harm. However, giving the money to that crétin tells another story. Tell me Hazelnut, what are some children of repute hiding in our terrible little town?

Gerald stopped in front of Catrina. He kneeled down in front of her face producing a handkerchief. She took it and after composing herself and explained how the three of them got there.

Catrina: My name is Catarina Linda Rosa de la Fleur. The three of us are Chrysian nobles from families of high regard. We were students who had joined the constitutionality movement. As protests and actions grew more violent we were disowned by our families. One night was particularly violent with several people being seriously wounded. The Archduke’s nephew was seriously injured during the protest we had organized. He had shot into the crowd and they defended themselves! Still, we were held culpable. Our parents arranged for us to take this job and sneak into Capitus. We would swear off any name to land or holdings and make our own way. We were fine with that. I could never live somewhere like that where a man could murder people without impunity.

Gerald was kneeling motionless looking past Catarina. After a moment he stood up and pondered

Gerald: And to get back on the good graces of the high court your parents decided to work with Eldson on your premature death. Despite your status that is a fortune for the three of you. Tell me child, before reaching the cave do you remember anything else?

Catarina answered without looking up: I did find it odd that when we got to the cave entrance some of the crew took something with them and headed in a different direction. I think it was towards Aeneas.

Samantha gasped while William scoffed: Fookin’ell ye serious?!

Gerald looked towards you: Aeneas is the Chrysian Kingdoms’ largest military citadel and scientific academy. Samantha. I believe you and your help will be busy in due time.

A sickly white Samantha started walking towards the exit: I’ll get an airship to get Samuel early. I need to go to my lab. Finish this without me.

Catarina stood up and followed Samantha: I’ll go with you

Gerald: Thank you Catarina.

Catarina interrupted without turning around: It’s Catrina… I’m not that person anymore.

Gerald smirked faintly: Alright Hazlenut

She said nothing. As the two young women left, a tall young man with reddish hair and bandaged wrapped arms passed by. It was Basil Bloom, today entering the meeting to represent Bloom Appliances.

Basil: Thanks for holdin my seat William. I miss much?

William: Nothin important. I’ll fill ye in lata.

Basil: Who’s bright idea was it to start so early? Gerald’s leaving the bar by this time.

Geoffrey: *Ahem* I think it’s safe to assume the Gyres are on board. Now what about the rest of you? While this proposition is technically for Flouris Blade Company, you all are now partnered in one way or another. Shall I make my proposal?

Moments went by as negotiations were held. You stood there silently as the sun rose. Finally some sort of agreement was met. As pens signed parchment Geoffrey motioned you to come.

Geoffrey: Alright then! I’ll go over the terms and conditions. An engineer for Eldson is developing something related to those automatons. You task is to delay or suspend that development by any means necessary. LL nor the Union cares how that happens. As a reward LL will invest 1.5 million notes into the company of your choice. Figures they’d rather pay you than Eldson. Do this and LL as well as the Union may find you favorable.

Gerald: I believe our young madam would prefer if no harm comes to the engineer. At the very least the lab staying in working condition may help with our own development. Monsieur Billings I believe you may be forgetting something?

Geoffrey: Ah yes..how could I forget...In addition, we’ll settle that hazard case with our members. You may rebuild your Salle.

Gerald looks at you again: Yes that, but I mean what for them?

Geoffrey: Oh...ahaha yes… You’ll each receive 4000 notes… That’s about a months bonus pay isn’t it?

Gerald: Thank you Monsieur Billings. You may leave now.

Geoffrey rather embarrassed: Yes right…

After Geoffrey left Basil and Gerald both beamed, nearly jumping up in joy like school boys.

William: The fookin gym? Didn’t an airship crash through’it? I thought ye couldn’t fix it cause there was still’n investigation.

Basil: Well that was half the truth. When we were developing the Pike Busters and Epee, Gerald made a drunken bet that he’d pay any of his employees a year’s worth of wages if they landed a touch on him. I thought it’d be fun and joined them. We still hadn’t gotten the configuration right and when Gerald parried their attacks several were seriously injured. One poor guy was sent flying through the Salle and ended up in the cockpit of an air-transport that then crashed through the roof. I ended up in the hospital for 2 days myself. Anyways the Union kind of stopped us and Gerald was technically obligated to pay the guy. We were able to rebuild some of it but due to the case and running out of money it couldn’t reopen.

Gerald: The wretch cheated. I refuse to pay him!

William: By te Seven…. Ye two are as bad as Deacon...

As you all groggily leave the hall William walks up to you.

William: Looks like we got another job comin up. I'll call you when everyhin is set up on our end. Be ready soon.

[Story Phase End]

Any feedback or suggestions is welcomed. I'll be setting up the map tomorrow.

So when will we spend our money?

>>1688425
SOON™

>>1688322
If we desire this engineer alive, some less-lethal options being made available would be nice.
Blueprints of the lab, as well. Quite useful to know where most everything is.

>Show me the Gyres.

The next day you receive a letter in the mail.

"Howdy folks,

As I've said before I'm here to represent you! The ardent workers of Capitus. The gallant cogs that keep our glorious machine running. The Capitus United Workers Association is the only organization that represents all workers in the country. By becoming a member you are becoming part of a family of equals; not the owners who don't appreciate you!

Ring me anytime you have questions and take a look at our brochures,

-G. Billings"

Samantha asks for you to come to the lab to show you some of the recovered prototypes.

Samantha: Seems like Eldson was busy. I don't know what kind of shoddy engineers he had on his team but it was obvious they were overworked. A lot of corners were cut so most of what we saw was crap. It took us a month to take the data and redesign some of them. We'll keep rolling them out as we can. Now this stuff is really experimental and expensive so I hate to say this but I'll be needing you to pay an insurance deposit on it. You don't get the money back. I know, I don't know why they call it a deposit either... However I'll let you keep is as long as you want. After you pay it you won't need to again.

Well, guess I was unconscious for longer then I expected.

As a suggestion, perhaps you might state more clearly which items and weapons can be wielded one-handed (and therefore benefit from Ambidextrous and similar abilities) either by giving weapons and items a stat requirement (likely based off JUP) to be held in one hand, or by allocating an 'equipment slot' value to each piece of equipment (which would also serve to avoid people trying to use multiple mutually exclusive items - for instance, wearing three different sets of coats and armors at the same time).

>>1688566
>Pandora and Sophia appear to be weightless.
How does the Hades interact with the Helios? Will weapons/armor still be infused while the field is not, or does [-prebued] negate it entirely?

It has a pitiful amount of base energy but it's recharge rate is really good. It's really made for Dynamo Engineers and with a capacicoat you can easily recharge in a turn.

Yeah Helios isn't something you want to use the Hades on. It can still magic quite well though. It's essentially a whip. You can still catalyze reactions with it. It will use base range but can be modified like every other one.

Alright so I'll be working on some mechanics today mainly-

The first two may come later. Like after this next mission later.

MY BABYS!!

A letter with the Bloom logo arrives at the tenement house. In it is a letter:

Hello Associates,

My father has asked me to aid you in your work. While I’m willing to always help handymen I have to say some of his conditions were untenable. I can provide you with some equipment and materials at a significant discount. As a kind gesture of our new partnership I will offer you these items at a special rate as well as provide training. May this gesture make you successful in your endeavors.

You're house is kind of a shithole and the 40 plus entrances ranging from doors, broken windows, to straight holes in the walls doesn't make it all too secure. However, Samantha has graciously let you use Samuel's office. He's never around anyways.
