You wake up in the... hospital room. Your thoughts are kinda hazy and you can't remeber how you got here.

Commander. Finally back among the living. You must have a lot of questions regarding your current condition.

You remember woman in the labcoat, Dr.Mitchell, head of the medical devision of this base.

"... are you the one controlling the sword guy down there?"

Either way I say just start shooting because we have a heavily wounded solders back in the tank that needs help ASAP, we need to fix our tank before something big that only the tank can take down shows up, and we still have to naturalize the sword guy somehow and if we can take out his support (boxy here) it will make it that much easier. In short we don't have time to dick around.

As Jackie's squad rolls in the village curious krodacians started gathering around Conqueress.

-R-Tur is taken away. Local healers will attend to his needs.

-Jackie now have free passage into the village of R.

-Jackie now can trade with local merchants.

-Jackie now can stay at the local INN.

Make sure your squad's immediate needs are seen to. (Check ups on injuries if field bandaging wasn't enough, make sure they get fed and stuff, reserve rooms to crash in tonight).

Make plan for repairs, see if there's anything we need to buy for the tank.

Go check in with K-Zel.

Do the local merchants use the same currency we're used to? (Or is there an known exchange rate)? Or are we gonna have to barter scrap and salvage from battle?

No. 661424 ID: 1cebc8

Speak with the mayor, request permission to reinforce their ceiling with weapons. See if you can upgrade their defenses with all the salvaged alien tech they have collected over the years. If they reject advanced warfare, explain that the enemy is looking for profit and not glory, and will call down airstrikes and sniper attacks if it means fewer casualties (for them and definitely not for R).

Worth a shot, though. There should also be some human equipment that got thrown into portals.

If we just leave this place without attempting to fortify it in any way against the enemy, that's poor planning. It doesn't have to be weapons or armor either; maybe the citizens can figure something out with our help.

No. 661431 ID: 9ddf68

-villagers provided all necesary resources for repairs.
-tank was parked just outside and currently being repaired by Lefty.
-ALL injuries are being treated...

Jackie: so... how bad are we talking here?
Lefty: pretty bad... i can fix up most of it but cannon... we need a whole new barrel... and it's not like we can find one out here.

K-Zel: commander! glad to see you return unharmed. is what people tell are true? you did destroy the nest?
Fuse: you'd better belive it. nest is a pile of smoldering rubbles by now.
K-Zel: i hope this would prevent anybody else from suffering losses, such as i have to endure. so. elder of this village send me to show you around the village, and once all your need are adressed, she would like to have a word with you.

This isn't enemy territory, at the moment. The Mad legion doesn't hold this settlement, even if they have forces on this planet.

We're guests in this town, and we just engaged what was technically a joint military exercise. Which at worst puts on footing here as mercs, and at best as tentative allies. In those circumstances, showing up armed to the teeth like you expect betrayal or a fight is a big sign of disrespect. We need to be leveraging maximum spunk here, not picking a fight.

I am a ditto. A clone. When one of your people proves themselves, copies can be made. New children, siblings with the same face, same potential, but different lives.

It saddens you greatly to learn that one of your siblings is responsible for the suffering here. Even more troubling to hear she brought an entire batch with her, but you never heard tale of their disappearance before.

I can only hope my actions speak louder than my face. I am an enemy of the mad legion, and if any of my ditto sisters stand with them, I am their enemy as well.

(I am not sure they have clones here, and since the idea of artificially growing people would seem unnatural and gross to them I think we should talk in terms of siblings.)
Say that they sound like they were some of our sisters. Explain that in your world some people have many dozens or hundreds of siblings, though you do now know why any of them would help the Legion when the Legion is hostile to everything. Say that you are sad that any of your kin would so such a thing and that you apologize, and ask if they had any symbols or markings on their armor so that we might be able to find out which of our sisters it was.

Jackie: i can't deny possibility that my side may be involved in it. but it doesn't mean anything for me.
R-Zah: ...
Jackie: i can only hope my actions speak louder than my face. but don't get in a wrong way... (lights her cigar) the potential for greatness cuts both ways. one with the potential to be a great hero has potential to be a great evil, should they turn down that path. i'm not a hero... i'm a soldier. i don't fight for absolutes like good and evil. i'm a living weapon... just point me to where the enemy is. and you know firsthand how effective i can be. i am an enemy of the mad legion, and if any of my ditto sisters stand with them, i am their enemy as well. so now you tell me... are you my ally... or enemy?

Fuse: so how did it go?
Jackie: eh... could'v gone a lot worse.
Lefty: like how much worse.
Jackie: i'm still alive and thats a plus in my book. we can stay all we want but elder forbidded villagers from helping or talking to us.

Ouch. People can't even talk to us? That's unfortunate. Hard to gather intelligence for a way home that way.

(Wait, does K-Zel count as a villager, as a refugee? Have we only been forbidden interaction with civvies, can we follow up with R-Tur?).

Warn your squad that there might be hostile dittos with your face hereabouts. Just in case one tries to impersonate you- they should be prepared if "you" start acting weird. Set up call and response password(s) just in case.

Lefty could use a brain probe thing for a solid ID one way or the other if it's ever really necessary (your memories are one thing no ditto can fake, even in the worst case where passwords are compromised) but we only have so many of those.

No. 664167 ID: 2a7417

Ooh, yeah! 45 years of war must have left some battlefields that we could scavenge! You'll have to ask the elder directly, as she is most likely to know and forbade us from speaking to villagers anyway.

eh, we have a good resting point if we need it. For now lets get some rest and then we can start looking for ways to fix the tank, get back home, and probably find something we can actually eat seance we might be here for awhile. Oh and maybe see what the fuck dittos where doing here if we can find anything.

We need salvage, really, really fucking badly. Gotta fix this tank. If your kind were here 45 years ago, we need to find the battlegrounds where conflict happened, and get the tank up and running, then we need to find out if there is another lead.

-Ask the elder if K-zel is ok, what will happen to her, and if she is free to speak with us as she is not of this village. Maybe she will join up.
-See if R-tur can chit chat, and if there is anything else to blow up.
-See if there are any things that the elder needs taken care of.
-We gotta go hunting anyway, get some real food.

Lefty: like this day couldn't get any weirder.

>Did she forbid finger-puppets and charades? I don't think so!
Lefty: i would assume she considered a loophole like that.

[there is no helping it. all we have to go of from is a fact that temples where used by illithians for instant portal travels.]
Jackie: temples...
Lefty: what?
Jackie: R-Tur mentioned that sun temple where used as some kind of portal to warp legion to this planet. maybe we can find another working one.
Fuse: ...and use it to catch a ride back to Korath.
Lefty: so how we suppose to find one without any intel from the locals?

>Wait, does K-Zel count as a villager, as a refugee?
K-Zel: i don't care what elder orders. i want to help you guys. you saved my life and this debt is not one to be taken lightly.
Jackie: you sure about that? if elders finds out about this...
K-Zel: she probably would banish me. but i don't care. without you all i wouldn't had this chance anyway.

[taking help from K-Zel would probably backfire on her. should we accept her help?]

A) yes
B) no

NEW SIDE-MISSION
-find info on other temples.
-find the temple
-find way to activate it

>can we follow up with R-Tur?
[he is probably resting right now. we shouldn't disturb him.]

>hunting
Fuse: i can take care of that. (send Fuse to hunt.)

>more missions
[elder won't speak to us for now.]

A) This will have consequences, but your mental state will plummet if you leave K-Zel here only to watch her die to a public execution or the Mad Legion. She wants to help, so let her help.

Send Fuze to hunt with professionals. And bring the tank.

>taking help from K-Zel would probably backfire on her. should we accept her help?
Her situation isn't very good if we accept. If she gets exiled, there's no knowing if we'll find another village for her. If she travels with us, she's a non-com civie in a combat situation. She might even end up coming back with us, which leaves her stranded in the wrong dimension.

I feel like the right answer to this is B. But she's an adult, able to make her own decisions, not to be patronized. But your crew needs help, and it's damn hard to turn down willing help. We can't stop informed enlisting.

Restate the risks, be frank about the dangers. If she still won't back down, accept her help. That means we're then responsible for her, like any of the rest of the crew.

If/when we accept her help, she should still distance herself from us, do what we can separately. See what information we can learn before getting exiled. (Is there a library or something? Could look up temple locations).

A. She's already talking to you, and it's easier for her to beg forgiveness that ask permission.

Perhaps instead of talking were people can see us we could arrange to both be out hunting/gathering at the same time and place?

she is an adult, right? if sh knows the consequences there isn't much reason to stop her.

No. 664330 ID: 0fc976

If think you really understand the risks you're taking, then go home and think about it for a while. If you still want to help, then we need the location of another temple. We'll be here through tomorrow.

Have K-zel gather up any extra supplies and find out what she can about temples before the village discovers that she's working with us.
>>
No. 664373 ID: 9ddf68

A and send her with fuse so she doesn't end up actually killing someone else's pet. Try to keep it to actual wild game seeing as we're kinda on thin ice already with the elder. Also if they're both gone with no one to see them it might take the village longer to notice K-zel is helping us and by the time they do notice they'll hopefully warmed up to us enough not to punish her.

As for what the rest of the party can do, scout around a bit, with the squid nest out of action the area should have a bit more breathing room for us to scout around with out running into TO much trouble. We can also stay in radio contact with Fuse and K-zel if we need to ask K directions.

Jackie: if you could find out any information about other temples. it would help us a lot. oh and we could use some extra supplies you could get from the local market.
K-Zel: i'll find what i can. you can count on me.

>food
Jackie: we would need a few days to prepare. you'll handle the supplies Fuse.
Fuse: got it.
>and send her with fuse so she doesn't end up actually killing someone else's pet.
Jackie: oh and K-Zel. could you like... keep eye on Fuse, so she doesn't accidently kill someone's dog.
K-Zel: ...ok. uhm... what's a dog?

Poor oldman. Wandering an alien planet all alone.

Oh well. At least there's a chance he's okay. If we'd left him in his cell he'd be exploded to hell already.
