Do not flash back! No! Think about fried pies. Fried pies can't kill you, distraction can.

No. No! She had to stay focused. Look back later. Had to look forward. What was forward? Dark tunnel. What was she looking forward to?

Fried pie.

She slapped her hand down with the revelation, then winced at how much noise she’d just made. She’d heard the staff on station ate pretty good, even had a real cook. She’d been thinking about fried pies the whole ride up, looking forward to it. Just because the station was being stormed didn’t mean she couldn’t hold out hope for some Louisiana crab lanterns.

Solid third on the priority list. Suit, then gun, then pie. Look for other survivors after pie, so she didn’t have to share. Good deal.

She kept crawling, filled with new motivation.

*

Sam tried to keep her breathing quiet.

Light cut through little slats and slashed across her face. She shifted as quietly as she could, trying to check all the angles. The lockers in the docks, just behind the check-in office. Unless she’d really fucked up her navigating, that’s where she was. And there was a dude with a rifle between her and the rest of her suit.

Depends - only be clever if it's needed, if it helps. You're bad at sneaking, though? How far is this dude? Does he have a radio? You've not heard anyone else?

I'm tempted to e.g. chuck a pebble, but he may radio somebody if he hears something suspicious. So - describe the situation. You're in a room, with lockers? The other dude is...in an adjacent room? Facing away from you? Do you suppose you xould just nonchalantly walk out, refuge in audacity and all, maybe even call "hey", then stab him?

Or, on the side of secrecy, are there leftover towels, maybe you can wrap your feet in two?

Unsold, either way.

Okay, situation.

One dude, back turned, same room as her. Watching him through the slats of a drainage grate, she couldn’t actually see a radio, but there was a solid chance he had at least a walkie-talkie clipped to the vest. She was thinking about throwing something to distract him, but the risk was too high. He wouldn’t be distracted for long enough to actually get her suit. No, shwacking him was about the only option she saw. Pretty damn sure he was the only guy in the room. No matter how still you are, you still make a little noise standing watch, and she hadn’t heard anything besides him.

The idea occurred to wrap her feet in towels, but they were all too far from the grate to be worth it. Then inspiration struck. She unzipped her jumper as quietly as she could, wincing at the noise. Guard dude didn’t seem to notice. Then she pulled out her bra. It wasn’t very thick, but the padding was there. The knife rasped out of its sheath, she cut the pads apart, and shifted awkwardly in the crawl space to secure them, tying them to the balls of her feet with the bra’s strings.

Boom, field-expedient sneaking boots. She was as ready as she was getting.

The grate slid slowly out of place. She winced at the noise. Winced even harder as she sat up and forced her sore muscles to drag her sloooooooowly out of the hole. Her hurt leg screamed murder, arms buckled.

The boots were still too heavy, but the bra was surprisingly good at keeping them quiet. She crept forwards, holding her breath. Could feel the adrenaline, feel her pulse pounding in her raw fingers, clutched white-knuckle tight around her knifegrip.

He seemed completely oblivious, looking through the glass of the check-in window, watching the docks. His off-hand fidgeting on his AK’s forestock, was shifting his weight from foot to foot, like there was somewhere he’d rather be. There was a loop in the neck of his flak j

Also, see if this dude has anything worth taking. Maybe a badge or something for pretending?? They might be too small a group for that to work, though.

So, options.

1. You can put on a suit.
1.1. You can try to escape.
2. You can go to the armory to assist whoever's resisting, and be assisted in turn.

-Make it clear that if they can't reach a compromise, you'll put Phail Yurr on their assignment and give him authority over them both.

-Encourage Trik and Cher, let them have fun.

Meanwhile, Trik the Crow has entered into an agreement with Cher Ami to speed the development of cross-world trade. It will not bear fruit until much later, but with their help, the worlds may become aware of each other much sooner than they would otherwise.

Should I encourage them in this endeavor?

Yes

Finally, Santo, the owlish one, has taken it upon themselves to nurture one form of sentients to higher wisdom than the others on one corner of the worlds.

Who is Santo nurturing?
2. Avians

Also is it just me or does that one bird on the left below the peacock in >>1015726 remind anyone of Doofenschmirtz?

You know what would be hilarious?
Let Gunny bless the Avians.
Discourage this speeding up cross-world trading thing. If we help the mortals on every little tiny bitty thing, they'll be sim pets, not their own people. Anyways!
Santo will be nurturing the Avians. I want to see the great rise and even greater fall of the Avian race. (Although making it the Aquans wooould mean Atlantis, hmmmmmmmmmmmm)

favoring avians in all thing can only result in good things happening

Humans will just muck stuff up with pollution and war and whatnot
and with aquans, well we all know the story of Atlantis
felines are right out! their disrespect for birds is legendary

intervene and side with Gunny, avians deserve all the resources

and if we're giving avians all the resources lets also give them the wisdom to use it wisely

its a overreaction destroying the monolith when all we need to do is cover it if it has strange effects we must research them, its very possible its not responsible.
also the murder victims body we should preserve them so we can launch a more fullscale investigation without decay getting in our way or restore them in the future, its possible some alien creature sneaked inside.

Given sapience and the fact they've been living here, I suspect the native recognized the markings. We should attempt to make contact the next time one is seen nearby on our external cameras.

For the murder investigation, we must take statements from everyone. Find out what everyone was doing before the murder, during the approximate time, and after as well. Any inconsistencies should be examined for evidence of guilt.

>>1033890
I have another idea. Let's put off opening the kiter egg for now, not least of all because it requires exposing more of our people to the monolith to get to it.

We can use the xenobio lab as a makeshift forensics lab. Test for DNA from the crime scene and the murder weapon, test other shock lances as well not just our only suspect's. Take note of any weapons missing in the testing.

We should have all the technology we need for this in a bio-lab of any kind.

>Why not modify their genetics and neurology to reduce their emotional capacity and personal drive, also making them more receptive to orders?
That's what I was wondering - but I guess Lirren's too conflicted to make the damn choice in the first place, putting us in this position.

Hey, it's gonna take some time - I only just brought it up to him. I'm not the geneticist here.

>If attatchment is the issue you need to raise them in a patriotic environment - nature AND NURTURE.
I'm sure we'll be plenty patriotic. But, keep any group of trained fighters in one place for too long - they get bored. And I don't mean a month or two, I mean YEARS. We can't simply ship them off elsewhere, not until they're properly deployed.
Who knows? Maybe if this charade goes on long enough, they could start up little weekly competitions with each other, take a page out of the Asliann ritual duelling book. Really bloody hoping it doesn't come to that.

>Has it occurred to you that you're a control freak who has managed to usurp the entire chain of command?
Lirren may be the project lead, but the reason we have other leads is to keep each other in check. It would be egotistical to assume that, once you're at the head of a military project - you can just get cold feet and try to undermine it in the process.

There's an alarm as the switch is pulled, amniotic fluid flooding the chambers in a moment. Suddenly, everything's a lot warmer.

And there it is. A little embryo inside of that tube. It looks so small compared to the walls of the machine, but soon enough - it'll be a person. Or a soldier.


...Huh. We're going to have to name these guys, aren't we?
Heh-heh. I've got a few ideas here or there.

It's weird to imagine that they'll be walking and talking so soon. I'm sure that a lot of the others have their own hopes and concerns about this project, especially since the flaws with this project are more apparent than ever.

I don't know if the future's going to be as rosy as Lirren hopes it'll be. But I can't help but be taken into everyone else's optimism, even if I may have encouraged them to think that way.


One thing's for certain.
Things will never be the same again.

Eat your heart out, Mund. That angry little bitch is going to get what he wants if it kills us, if only out of spite.

Yeah, pretty much, Luvi. Even considering how she used you, you still kind of don't have anything better than staying with her if she still lets you. She's needy, but she's not going to stab you. So as long as you can make sure none of her murderously violent friends show up to be problems, she's still probably the best you've got. Especially if you can put an empathy blocker in your bedroom.

She broke your trust. But the way things shook out, she happens to have an opportunity to earn it back.

Hanging with Luvi isn't your only option Mac. It's probably your most preferable option for now though, since she can get a roof over your head. I would try to keep some distance away in this friendship for now though.

Luvi, Don't process this until I finish my sentence, but- You gave me some hope that being a rouge wasn't a death sentence and things could be alright in what was maybe- in what I HOPE was the lowest point in my life, and I'm not sure if I should hug or throttle you for it. Because I've got a horrible sinking feeling that everything isn't going to be alright and all you'll have done is set me up for crushing disappointment instead of despair.

No, as much as Dotti was being a little shot, I've got a feeling Momo usually does something to cause that reaction.

She seems pretty upset. We made a deal with Taranis, I'm sure we can make a deal with Dotti.

And now we hold the power here, since the bells aren't in Momo's paws yet. How about turning your coat and joining Dotti's side?

Nope. Dotti has some honestly quite achievable desires, and fulfilling them will reduce the likelihood of further mischief. Therefore, you should tend to them before considering the situation resolved, if only to save yourself from future trouble.

In return for the bells, Dotti wanted recognition as best fox spirit and tutoring. As a penalty for the theft/flipping of your skirt, let's downgrade that "and" into an "or". Momo will either help Dotti learn to transform herself into a human, OR if she is unable to , then she will acknowledge that Dotti is best fox spirit. She will say just that, in full. "Dotti is the superior fox spirit for all time."

>>1033145

Momo might have her bells back, but Dotti’s sure to cause more trouble if I don’t sort things out with her too.

Momo, in the interest of not having your bells stolen again, I advise you to take Dotti’s previous deal. You know. As a show of your infinite generosity and all that.

But why would I take a deal where I already-

If you don’t at least try to help me figure out the second most important thing to me in the world, then I don’t want to be friends with you anymore.

Ooooh, bringing out the big guns.

Momo swoons.

Very well. There's no secret to transforming that I can give you, little fox. If you can't do it, the problem isn't having the right words... It's knowing what you truly want, and allowing yourself to have it.

Dotti looks to the ground, utterly lost.

If you were to both sin quickly, you wouldn't be endangering the house as much.

And if you were under the sheets, god couldn't even see the sin.

Let's go talk to Susanna.
I wanna know why the reverends she killed didn't stay dead.

It would be sinful to have sex with Rita and that would agitate the reverends. What to do...

Here's an idea. Sex is only sinful if done outside of marriage, right? So if they think the two of you are married, and are having sex for the purpose of procreation, it's possible they would excuse the act. There ain't much brain inside those rotting bodies anyway.

Therefore, I suggest that you and Rita have a roleplay session where the two of you pretend to be a married couple.

> >>1032376 >why the reverends didn't stay dead
They don't stay dead because they're immortal, like Susanna. They get resurrected when killed or captured.

>>1032220
>A sharp thud on the roof makes you both jump.
Yep, they be watching.

>>1032453
I think the idea would work if there were more love than lust involved, I don't think they care much for a marriage certificate. That would be interesting.

Also, Chuck has become natural bait for them. He does possess a sort of control over them at this point, and all he needs to do is think about fucking a girl wildly. Hell, all the girls at once, why not.

>>1032453
No. Nelson and Susana could get back up from most wounds because they are some kind mystical creatures demigod-thingies.

The three reverends were mortals, but after Susana killed, they became revenants.
Why? When everyone else dies in Coxwette, they stay dead.

Changing my vote to keeping Delli around. This is why:
if we collapse the stairs and eliminate all forces on the surface, that gives us time to fortify and prepare for the bigger fight to come. We can use Delli's small amount of remaining energy manipulation to use materials from the structures on the surface to create ballistic shields at the very least. It might even be possible to detach some cables and use the electricity as a weapon. Plus, Delli should be able to curve energy attacks around cover, even if they're weak.

For a fantasy roleplay, there are a few possibilities. With the condom, stating it's a potion of stamina/'vitality' could be fun, maybe take a sip and share it around orally. Alternatively, could offer it as a magic bauble that proves your magical potency, or a 'crystal ball' showing what her future may hold, and offering another pair of balls if she needs a better view.
Could also play with the previous hypnosis effect, Wizard Bayard no longer effected but still feeling rather 'charmed' by her, or perhaps newly 'charmed?' Such a lewd display as showing off her massive milf milkers, using her charm, both physical and mystical, to get her ex-servant to get back in on the action in short order, intentionally or otherwise. She seems rather interested in being the poor defenseless naga, even if just to incense you both, but placing herself square in the powerful wizard's sights might still be up her alley. Not like you couldn't tease a little turnabout back though. Could say she'll have to compensate you for making you her servant, by allowing you to test out some of your magic on her, and promising that her needs will be met.
Definitely get her thinking and talking about her future children though, asking if she's already thinking of names, if they'd want some siblings, and how you might support her/them.

Not like there is anything wrong with the modern snilf though, just no immediate thoughts that she hasn't already laid out.

If you do get this, you'll owe Fiver one. Though, just because you'll catch, doesn't mean you necessarily have to bottom. Could prove to him that he's right you're a butt slut, but make him work a bit to make you moan. And if he does 'win', not

Actually, I'm starting to think 3 for what to wear, then we can show off the cute clothes customers could be wearing if they shop at our store. Advertise while we do errands!

>>1032365
Seems like the most optimal set of choices

>>1032362
Actually, 2, 3, 3. Like some of the others say, to advertise our own work.

No just got stuff on for a second. Trying to do something a bit more complex for art but will see if it pans out.

>>1030748
What? I cant hear you over the dead remains of all the gnolls.

>>1030987
If they have things going on irl, then that takes priority over continuing the quest.

You making fun of them to try and get them to update the quest is extremely rude and will get you banned. Do not do that again.

>>1030991
Make fun of? Nonesense. I'm throwing words to get my brain to wrinkle more. Like what the hell are we gonna do when and if we unfortunately encounter a bigger gnoll? How do you beat that?

So crazy we're having today am i right?

-GAH!!

You grab her right as the monster’s giant claw crashes into the spot she was sitting on, barely managing to drag her out of harm’s way. Neither of you dare to look back as you start running like madmen, while the giant claws of the creature audibly swings behind the two you, desperate to catch you. Luckily, all the wounds seem to have slowed down the beast substantially. Unluckily, you’re about to run out of room to run. It screeches in pain as it forces its body to lunge towards you one final time…

But the screech is cut short from the explosion behind you, as Iris activates the blast charge as soon as you’re a safe distance away…

As the smoke clears the only sign of the creature is a huge hole down to the floor below, which is now full all kind of debris, including a whole freight elevator and several of the cargo that was stored here. While there’s no way that thing survived the explosion and the subsequent crushing, neither did whatever was in the room below. A shame, but it was necessary.

Everyone… *huff* report…
Woo! What a kill!
The Tuul is pulling back. They aren’t attacking anymore…
Sir, what did you do? Those bastards just started screeching and ran away all the sudden. What is going on?
Dad? Are you alright?
Huh? Oh…
As the adrenaline starts wane, you feel a sharp pain from your leg and on closer inspection you find a nasty looking cut on your tight. You must have been a lot closer to those claws than you thought you were.
It’s… it’s just flesh wound, nothing more.
You still need medical attention, dad! Here, let me patch you up.
By the eternal dark, that was a close one…
The security station is secure, Captain, though it’s unusable now.

>Sir, what did you do? Those bastards just started screeching and ran away all the sudden. What is going on?
Tell her about the giant Tuul all of you were fighting. And no, you're not exaggerating its size. It really was that big.

Then tell her that you think they ran away because of the loud noise of Iris' blast charge exploding. Or the little bugs know we killed the big bug and have run away because they don't have the confidence to continue fighting without the big bug to back them up.

>Shall I join up with the rest of you?
Yes she can regroup with us.

If the hole in the floor for the freight elevator was made bigger by the explosion and no one can walk around it, tell Tara that she'll need to go through the hangar to meet us.

Which means that we'll need to go through the mess hall and up to the crew quarters so that Iris can finish cutting open the door leading to the hangar. That way Tara will be able to rejoin us if she can't go around the hole for the freight elevator in storage.

>>1031786
Alright, regroup and see if you can climb down.

>>1031786
Yeah, Tara can regroup with us. Just make sure she watches the vents in case anymore bugs try to ambush her.

The lady in the middle seems nice. It's probably her.

the left one

>>1029334
+1

The left-most! You want someone you can trust, and nothing says trustworthy like an obscured face!

The left most face looks like real leadership material, so it must be HER you're looking for.

>>1028412
That could be excruciating if her nose is broken. Lets not do this.

>>1028066
The more I look at this, the more I think we should just run and get help. That is a lot of blood for a bloody nose that happened just a second ago. She probably broke her nose and that is actually serious.

Bonnie doesn't know the meaning of serious.

>>1028465
That's not true. She knows she should get an adult.

Get an adult, say that Molly booped her snoot on the ground, and now there's blood everywhere.
