Yeah it's Scratch. For all I know Scratch is Whiskers herself, they're both female belenos. A shame Ben just tranquilized the one person who might know.

You may want to find Scratch/Whiskers right now.

>>577337
Eh, Hok doesn't know about the cat-bar-place.

>>577334
Dat face xD Ben continues to be awesome.

So what exactly at this point is the difference between the fake dates you're having with Miss and a real date?
...
Aside from the whole drugging thing.

>Hok didn't buy it. Scratch gave it to him
Um, yes. That's what I said?

The problem is we have no way to discriminate between a happy coincidence (Hok being lucky enough that Scratch bought replacement booze Jess loves) and an informed decision (ie, Scratch works for Wiskers so she knows about Jess and Itcher's booze run and the pin game).

...I suppose we could argue coincidence is more likely since Scratch shouldn't have known what Hok was planning to do with the booze. Unless Whiskers people actually have been messing with his head.

>Eh, Hok doesn't know about the cat-bar-place.
Yes, there is that. The details of Jess and Itcher's paranoia mission are out of character for Hok, so it doesn't make sense for him to act on our paranoia.

>Terrible horrible thought
Wait... if someone really has been messing with Hok's head, and/or he has memory issues, suddenly his book makes more sense. He doesn't need it just because that many people want him dead- it's a memory crutch, to keep him from slipping. Worst case, you don't even need to mess with Hok's head to control him. Just the book.

You know what just tell the Cai that Wiskers might be coming for the data it has or some other convoluted plan.

Then tell Itcher that Jess has cat booze and will be smashed shortly if he does not watch over her.

The only thing to really worry about is the Cai getting kidnapped. The data is important but we can make copies and such. Would rather loose a copy of the data than have the Cai get kidnapped. I can't imagine Wiskers would let it have the amount of freedom it gets here. When you have a army of giant robots its not a good idea to let a Cai anywhere near them. Besides its proven itself as a friend so we watch out for it.

Don't get to paranoid about what might happen and just keep a eye out. Wiskers is pretty tricky and if she wants something here she will probably get it. Just make sure everyone is safe in case it does happen.

>>577380
>she will probably get it

Let's not give up before it starts, eh? Most of the reason she stole the Zozu gold so easily was because we already knew it was coming and wanted it to happen.

>>577381

My biggest worry is that Hok's memory loss means that he has been compromised already somehow and will make things worse if he tries to hard to guard things.

Like say someone hypnotized him to go steal the Cai module if he got alone with it. Or just put some nano-tech on him like what happened to Itcher.

The problem is it might be nothing and telling people would just distract them from the real issues. Heck maybe someone is counting on you panicking and telling someone. Maybe Ben would know. He seems both surly and knowledgeable enough to be impartial.

Maybe tell the Cai that if you start looking like a zombie and trying to steal them they have permission to taze you unconscious.

Uh I didn't do either of those things that was all Ben.

"So hey Ben are you gonna give her a cool cybernetic arm?"

>Maybe we should call Itcher and tell him Jessica is gonna drink all the cat-label booze
In honor of Grudge-Bearer not going to kill me for the time being, I am going to spend today trying to make a point in not getting all up ons other people's business.

Except for Scratch's. I call her up and go visit her just a bit outside of the trade hub. Then tell the CAI they have my permission to knock me out if I go acting like a zombie or something. I mean I have had a single memory lapse in the past several days and it is not the first time so the chances of this being anything special are preeeetty bad.

I was gonna not be a spoil by telling Itcher that Jess was gonna drink all that, but it was gonna be a gift to Itcher as well. I mean I can't help but notice that I didn't get gouged again coming back inside despite having a pretty nice amount of zeny that I can go shopping with soon enough, so I let the CAI know to let Itcher know.

Message errands done, I head out to meet Scratch.

"Hey so any chance anyone's gonna listen to us?"
>"You tell me! I'm not bugged, if that's what you're asking. Where's Miss?"
"Getting her arm fixed up."
>"Nice. I hope by a competent doctor?"
"Y....yeahhhh... well worst case scenario, I'll pay for a cool cybernetic arm?"
>"Well don't say that, or Miss'll chop her arm off herself.
"So, are you one of Whisker's agents?"
>"Yep."
"Okay uh I was sort of expecting not an actual answer. So that was your card after all?"
>"Nope, I really don't have any idea where you got it from."
>"My cover's actually already been blown for a few people, so I won't be working for Whiskers soon. I do have one last task, though. I'd like to take a look at what Pilon stole. Since you're here, could you arrange for that soon?"

>>577426
Heheh.

Yeah, okay. We'll distract the guards so you can sneak into where it's stored. (and Itcher will be waiting, of course)

If you mean pay to get a copy, that might work. If you want me to steal from Pilon, you saw what happened to the last guys who tried that.

Ask if, once her employment is over, she'd like to hang out at the Trade Hub here with Miss. You could always use more friends that don't wanna kill you.

Your boss's boyfriend is kind of sitting on it.

I could probably get you a look, if that's really all you want. I mean, you look out for Miss, I look out for these guys. Rather not see them get screwed over, you know?

Oh, wait, and ask if she knew what she was recommending you for with that last job. Was she trying to have Hok mess up their little kidnapping?

"Uh do you want me to distract the guards or somethi-"
>"No, what? I mean just tell them that I want to take a look at it. Only mention I'm with Whiskers if you think it'll help. And I mean the container, not the data. I want to see the container."
"Yeah okay I think I can arrange that. Or at least propose it. Are you looking to buy it?"
>"Yeah, but I want to make sure it's in the same condition we left it at."
"Oh okay. Wanna hang out at the hub after your employment is terminated?"
>"... yeah, that'd be nice."

Oh great she's hiding something. Oh well.

"So uh, apparently you recommended me to Nulba?"
>"Yeah. It was more convenient for you to deal with it than it was for me. I expected either you'd shoot them right away, or you'd play along for a little bit. Either way, I knew the key information that Nulba didn't."

I text Tin.

Hey Tin someone from Whiskers is looking to get that container without the data apparently. I guess that someone named Scratch is gonna appraise it and might just buy it off of the Hub if you want.
>Ben would be the only one to complain, but he already has a sample of it. Make sure it's as expensive as it can be before it's worth stealing from us instead, because Whiskers is only buying it so long as it's more convenient than stealing it.

Well that's inconvenient after deciding not to so I'm just gonna go ahead and send the pictures. There's a pretty long silence after I send the first image, and the two I took while Waska was drugged up and one more just before I left the cavern to go to the Hub in advance.

Sure enough, Itcher's right on the container. Scratch has a pretty good laugh.

>"Whiskers told me I might see you here. How did you know she was after the container itself?" asks Scratch.
>"Just a hunch."
>"You had no idea."
>"Pretty much, but I wasn't gonna be allowed to hang out by the CAI, jus' in case. Hok, ya damn bastard, ya had to choose now to give Jess that booze. Now she's pressurin' me to get back in that room. And I may do jus' that, if Whisker's ain't showin."
>"I'm sorry, but not unless the offer is declined. I'll give the Hub 50,000 Zeny for this, if it appears to be in as good condition as we left it in.
>"With no data? What's this stuff made out've?"
>"I don't know, I'm not buying it for myself. I've been told, though, that it's just as good as common stone."
>"Dunno if what I know of Whisker's is true to her actual personality or not, but she sure didn't strike me as an avid collector of worthless stone. Tell Whisker's this thing ain't goin' for anything less than a half million digits."

>"Yeah you tell 'em, Itcher!"
>"Itcher please, you just want to see Whiskers come in person!"
And so continues the CAI chorus.

>"Sold, if you throw in a truck for me to use." says Scratch.
>"Wait, what? Are you fuckin' serious?"
>"Whisker-bots don't mobilize themselves, and it's not often some of Whisker's things get swiped from underneath her. In fact, two-thirds of the swipers call this hub their home, now, even though one of them did so unwittingly."

>>577438
Hok, investigate that container. There must be a secret compartment.

Or maybe this is Whisker testing Itcher's resolve. Seeing if he's willing to take a large sum of money instead of trying to get to her again. I mean Scratch just basically said "Whisker will only show up if you don't accept the money", so...

Well, I see a third option. Accept money for the container and then Itcher can just go along with the container. Maybe as a driver for the truck, with the excuse of "We'd like the truck back."

Tell her you want to discuss it with the CAI in private. Ask the CAI if they can mock up stone container exactly like it just in case.

Search it for secret compartments.

>>577437
Haha, sorry, Mimi. (Although getting burned with silly pictures is getting off pretty light in the Hok zone). Why'd you decide you wanted him knowing I was there?

We'll have to talk later, since that probably means Pip is out if the gang. We'll have to say our goodbyes to our favourite bespectacled and fat-finger crime Dona.

>what do
Hey, sounds good to me. And if this thing is really worth that much dosh or more, we're not gonna be able to keep it when the big fish come hunting for it. We're better off selling.

...if Itcher wants to play games to get to Whiskers, that's his thing. The trade hub isn't gonna turn down that kind of cash (or take on that kind of risk) just so he can get the girl.

But yeah, poking at it for a minute or two isn't a bad idea.

>>577439
>unwittingly
Might mean you Hok

consider having your head examined, even if it means telling grumpy ol' Ben why

Other than secret compartments or other hidden info the materials could be exotic enough to not replicate on the asteroid. Or it could have been created with some sort of method that she does not want anyone finding about. Or its a awesome transformer robot.

We know she has access to advanced nanotech so could be something involving that. Or she just needs a nice secure storage and it would be a pain to replace one of this quality.

Have Ben come over and look at it after he finishes with Miss. Say that surely the best Belenosian on the asteroid can find why she wants this so bad. Tell him he has however long it takes to get it ready to load up and that the Cai has a betting pool to see if he succeeds. A bit of poking at his ego might motivate him.

Tell Itcher to make it half a million and some dates with Wiskers later.

>Might it be Hok who was the inwitting stealer?
Nooo that was Pilon, he didn't realize Whisker's had her eye on that thing. What I took was definitely knowing full well what I was doing; course, I sure did bite off more than I thought.

>Or maybe this is Whisker testing Itcher's resolve. Seeing if he's willing to take a large sum of money instead of trying to get to her again.
Well it sure wasn't thought out, cause Itcher isn't in charge of whether or not this thing gets sold.

I do however start poking around at it, but the CAI tells me that it's already been scanned through everything anyone has, and aside from the hole with the data that was retrieved; it's a solid object.

I whisper to the CAI while out of earshot of Scratch, who starts inspecting the container as well.

"Hey can we just, like, make a perfect mimic of that?"
>"I think we could!"
>"No. Ben's inspected it, and there's definitely something unique about the stone. We can't make a replica that Whisker's won't be able to distinguish from the real thing."
>"Yeah, let's just sell it before she changes her mind!"
"Yeah that's for the best I think. Just throwin' ideas out. Hey connect me to Ben, would you?"

There's more internal dialogue as they talk about it, I'm sure.

"Hey Ben, we're gonna sell this container here for a nice bit. You're the best belenos, as you put it, on the asteroid, I don't suppose you could figure out why this hunk of stone or whatever is worth so much?"
>"Ye?! Maybe the best belenos would have time to figure this out if certain people wouldn't dump Pomi's on the operating table to take up my time!"
"Well I mean after that."
>"I've been studying it, you incessant leaf! The hub will know what it is when I identify it, should it be anything but odd stone!"

"Hey, Itcher! You want to take the car and say you want to take the truck back here? I mean we only have so many vehicles."
>"There's an idea. Course, Tin's keeping me busy, and it's sure sounding like Whiskers doesn't want to see me. I don't suppose I could get a trip over to Whiskers, huh?"
>"Nope, sorry. You'll have to try harder than that or get luckier than that to see her again."
>"So I can't throw in "Date with Whiskers" as part of the deal?"
>"Heh. No."

Well that's sold, so that's a pretty nice break for the Hub. Even moreso than that silenced bio armor since Rokoa said she wanted a cut of that for, I believe as it was put, an 'extraction share'.

Hey Mimi why'd you want Waska to know I was around?
>To prove tgo him thsat he nereds me. Well that basically satiates any curiosity on that.

Miss is finished up, and she's told to just avoid any moderate or heavy lifting with that arm for a couple of days. Scratch joins us on our fake date. The trade hub's bustling more than usual, course, most plans are still in the planning phase.

>"I don't mean to put a downer on this, at least not for Miss." Scratch says. "But this is probably going to be the last time you see me."
>"Wait, what?!" Miss says.
>"Yeah. Retiring as a Whiskers agent doesn't mean I can go wandering around like normal. The opposite, actually! There's a huge list of requirements for anyone in my position, and obviously having my cover unblown is on that list. I messed up on something unrelated to all of Waska's doing."
>"Is... is she gonna?"
>"Don't look at me like that! She's not going to kill me, I wouldn't be so chill about that. I'm not going to say what happens, but I can say that I'll be fine. This is going to be the last day I have, though, so let's make it count."

Looks like our fake date is about to turn into a real not-date.

>>577450
Welp I think we should stop being a third wheel.

Maybe we can hide a tracking device on the container...

You three have been through a lot together, make the best of it, if only for Miss' sake!

Oh, so that's what she was hiding. Let's hope it's all she was hiding. Uh, might want to ask how likely someone is to try and kidnap/torture her.

Let's see what the trade hub has. Does she like arcade games? What else does the entertainment center have?

Well a toast to Scratch then. Tell her to get a hold of us once she figures out her affairs.

Oh and have her relay a message to Wiskers. Tell her that Itcher is a good guy but he is to responsible to go adventuring around just to find her. Its not nice to play with a guys emotions like that. We do not want him moping around forever pining after a girl that won't settle down. If she keeps it up to long he will move on.

Anyways enough worrying about stuff. Enjoy your last day with Scratch and have some fun. Just make sure you do not stumble into Grudge bearer in the middle of it.

>sums up my curiosity
I still think we should make teasing goodbyes for grumpy Mimi.

>Never see her again, but not killed
What, they hide you somewhere secret? Give you radical reconstructive surgery? Smuggle you off the asteroid?

>what do
Sounds like it's time for a going away party.

Yeahhhhh.

>Maybe we can hide a tracking device on the container
The CAI isn't here to tell me that's not going to work so I'm going to go ahead and say that's not going to work and that Whiskers would find it basically right away.

>Tell her that Itcher is a good guy but he is to responsible to go adventuring around just to find her.
"So uh, I don't care too much about this whole relationship concept -" I'm dropping some real subtle hints now - "buuuut Whiskers might wanna know that if she keeps dodging Itcher, she might not see him. Itcher seems all responsible-like not going on adventures to see her, and I mean he sleeps with some neumono. Belenos are into neumono right?"
>"Not... maybe? I don't think Itcher is, although sleeping in the same bed, there's got to be something going on even if it's casual. That's not really our business or even Whisker's, though, although I bet she knows more than we do about that. And I might mention it, but Whiskers might think it's best if he does forget about her. She'd mention it, though, if she thought there was either no chance of a relationship forming, or if there was any chance of him listening to that."
"Well okay then. Back to us. You. You'll be okay? I mean I'm pretty sure some people might come after you if word gets out that much."

So we spend our time together. I'm kiiiinda a third wheel but it's somewhere between a weird wheel off on the side of a bicycle and an actual tricycle.

Mimi and Waska show up, too.

>"Hello, Hok, there you are." Mimi says.
"Hey Mimi, hey Waska, what happened to you guys?"
>"We had a fight." continues Mimi. "It's settled now. At least, it's about to be. Waska."
>"Yeah, uh.... I promised Mimi and it didn't help Pilon was there that I'd let it go. The whole, you stole my shit. That wasn't cool though I li-"
>"Waska. First off, Pilon stopped me from outright shooting you, so you're going to thank him next. Second off, focus."
>"Right. Uh. So, you're off the hook. Pardoned. That sort of stuff for past stuff. Not future stuff though! Don't touch my shit. Or me! At night! In bed! But mostly my stuff! So, uh... since you went and shot Nulba we still kinda need a party of non-attachment. So if you want, you can come put on your Pip stuff and keep going through the outposts."
"So, uh, did you actually send Nulba?"
>"... yeahhhhh listen I know it wasn't a good idea but sometimes I get the sense that I'm trapped under Mimi, okay? I do some desperate things just to try to, you know, get some independence so I can live a little. Just... forgot about it, it was a good thing you shot Nulba. He was kind of a dick anyway. Mimi already lectured me about it." says Waska.
>"I've agreed to let him have small tasks he can do on his own that he can fuck up all he likes. We'll be leaving in a few hours, if you and Miss would like to come. I've already heard about Scratch's issue."

So we spend our time together. I'm kiiiinda a third wheel but it's somewhere between a weird wheel off on the side of a bicycle and an actual tricycle.

Wow, what's with all these people you've ripped off not wanting to kill you anymore. You've been having a real good streak of luck, lately. Maybe Pilon is worth something as a diplomat after all!

>what do
Well... we probably shouldn't run off until after you know if Grudge Bearer wants you dead or not. Ie, since not running off was part of the deal, and if you're traveling with Waska's peeps, it makes you easy to find.

Tell specs and patches thanks, water under the bridge. They're pretty okay crimelords to work with! (I think these two have been upgraded from "people we may screw over some day" to "sort of friends that we'll mess with, but not completely screw over").

I think we'll need to find out what's going on at the trade hub before we decide if we go off to do more crime or hang around, first. Like the Grude Bearer thing. And maybe talking to Kappi, since having a diplomat to return to the hive means maybe you found him Rokoa after all. And maybe getting all smug with Tin about all that money you just made the trade hub by bringing Scratch in to buy that rock.

>>577559
Yeah, you probably shouldn't go anywhere without dealing with Grudge Bearer.

Tell him you will join up with them when they leave and that you are going to go settle your affairs here.

Make sure to stop by and let Tin know whats up and see if she has any errands for you. Then drop by Kappi and let him know that Rokoa is testing him so he had better keep improving himself. Maybe if he is lucky she will come by and pick up Sakarra and they can watch that show together while she is here.

Then find Pilon and see if he made any process on the Grudge Bearer issue. If you need to stay a bit longer we can allways catch up to Mimi and Waska at the next outpost.

Explain that you need to stay here a bit, but hope to get free on time to go with them, or failing that, catch up with them.

Okay there are a few loose ends that I try to wrap up so that I can put things behind me. I don't like tight strings.

I tell Mimi and Waska that yeah I'll go with them if Grudge-Bearer isn't going to come hunting me, but I may need more time than they're giving me. Till I can confirm that I'm going at all, I check in with Tin to see if there's anything more she wants me to do, except not too much because I did kind of get the Hub a good break here. Tin relents that point, not quite daring to say good job, but saying I'm right, so she says to just bring back whatever news from future outposts.

Pilon says that Grudge-Bearer saw the fight between Mimi and Waska, and was rather put off by having something in common with someone who wanted me dead pretty bad. Said Waska made a bit of a fool of himself. Pilon claims that GB isn't going to hunt me for the time being till he gets his head straighted out, but can't make any promises! I dunno what that means, but apparently GB will inform me of his intent to kill me in advance before actually going to kill me if he decides that's what he's going to do. I will continue not understanding that person and take it.

Lastly, a bit more time is spent with Kappi wishing him well with his poor judgement of girls. Apparently Sakara is going to postpone the negotiation bit, since she was caught off guard, so it might be a week or something before she returns with Rokoa. From what I hear, I'll still be doing some outpost-hopping by then.

So that is what I do. Mimi leaves Miss and I a driver to catch up with them. Miss is pretty down after Scratch leaves with the container, but she holds herself up by holding onto me I guess. While in the car.

I was thinking I could get some sleep now that here is no yich eater staring at me in the rear view but no I do not think I am getting much sleep.

"Ah, yes. I mean, I have a long way to go, but I'm really trying!"
>"He says you've been doing well. Pretty motivated, and your punches might be a more effective weapon than a pillow in a couple of weeks. What's that you're drinking?"

"Ahhh!!.... that... didn't hurt as much as I thought it would."
>"Have you never lost an ear before?"
"No, I haven-"

>"Pilon hasn't told you a damn thing about how to eat, Kappi. You still taste like shit... you've been having caffiene at the usual pace. And... chocolate. That's going to stop - no, you don't get one last taste. He's still as soft as he looks. Did you get gold stars in training for showing up?"
"N....no...."

>"No? I saw you playing that one belenos game, so let me put this in the nerdy ways you're familiar with. We're going to play a game with two endings. The ending you want is beating the game at an adequate difficulty setting. The other ending is anything short of that. Pilon's training was, on that belenosian scale of difficulty, 'Toya'. I'm bumping you up to the next difficulty."
".... Organic?"

>getting Mimi and Waska to hold an embarrassing fight may have shamed Grudge Bearer into sparing Hok's life
...wow. Crazy how all your convoluted antics came together for you. Now that's luck. Couldn't have worked out any better if you'd planned it that way.

>dat hug.
Daaaaaaw.

Pretty sure that one hurt more than the ear. (Even if Kappi's grief is mitigated or distracted or conflicted by the hotness of seeing Rokoa-boobs splattered in coffee).

>>577600
Jessica wheeling out is great.

Don't worry Kappi. Everything worth doing is worth doing well. And Rokoa is um worth doing?

That might have come out wrong. Anyways you got her interested so go prove you deserve her. I have high hopes for the next time we see you two.

Ya know, I'll be honest.

I thought Miss was gonna turn out to be the Whisker agent.

>>577604
Good news: She REALLY wants you around
Bad news: Rokoa's training involved what amounted to self-inflicted torture.

>>577604
My question is how the fuck does she know video game lingo? Holly hell you two have more in common then we thought.

Oh and be glad your day job is a desk job, I have a felling that walking is going to be difficult for the next few... weeks? and no I don't mean that in a cute way, I mean if you end up in anything other then a body cast I'll be fucking amazed.

RIP in peace Kappi
