>>21676674
We can use the NeiShot?
Goddammit! We needed to research weapons before, such as the Mass Rifles.

Anyway, here's the schedule:
Late 24:
0. implant subdermal transponders (at least 3) into Mitsune and Kanako.
1. Resourcing Operations to acquire Resource Units and precious metals as currency started.
2. Science Team to begin research on A280 Blaster Rifle and Advanced Bio-Stabilization Mask replication
A280 - 2 days RT
Masks - 1 day RT
3. Have the Hacker Team prepare to sell off the metals we will acquire on the open market, and be prepared to short the stock of precious metals on the stock exchange to funnel more nuyen to a holding company operated by the Vault.
4. Have the Shadowrunners contact the fixers contracted by the Vault to purchase talismans, reagents, and spell foci
a. various reagents they may need for rituals
b. Expendable Spell Foci
c. Spell Foci and Power Foci, as strong as they can get them
d. buy up whatever spells we can afford from the Magicknet

>>21676775
5. Inform Ferricelli about the Great Crusade, Shin-Ra, Yellowman, and Black Ops.
6. Call up Holtz, give him a report of what's happened.
7. Take the 24x Engineering Hologram Construction Team that was used to build Desna's church to construct the Hydroponics Lab and greenhouses in Elysium
8. Replicate ART Specs for Spellcasters and Heroes not wearing helmets
9. Replicate ART Shades (same as spectacles, just sunglasses version) for Spike and undoubtedly the other 'cool' Heroes. And Cheryl and Lyla.
10. Have Support Frigates continue to repair the task force
11. Contact Shin-Ra
a. Give them a "Welcome to the Neighborhood!" information docket: Who's Who of the local threats
b. Coordinates and comm-frequency for the local TSAB outpost
c. Comm-frequency for the Vault
12. Replicate 20x Engineering Hologram Team to begin refitting all Power Armor with ART upgrades.
13. Abjurer to begin enchanting a Federation Toolkit with the Handy Haversack enchantment, to become a Handy Toolbox.

Also, we need to vote on Hero Skills:
Marc Lecointe
Who Dares - Alternatively known as "Knock Knock - It's Motherfucking X-COM" - Marc has done some of the craziest things ever attempted by any X-COM soldier, from either X-COM agency, and lived to tell the tale. The Command Crew can send this soldier to do the impossible, and the crazier it is, the likelier it is to succeed and for Marc to survive. Even if it is with critical plasma burns over 80% of his body.
Sort of an X-COM version of Spike's "How Many Pints of Blood Do You Have?"


Terror From The Deep - When deep ones and lobstermen rose from the seas, They ran from Him. When slaying an enemy and snapping an appropriate quip, enemies besides those with unbreakable morale (even then its a tossup) test or break.

Hidden Movement: Due to his lengthy service, Marc receives a bonus whenever he tries to do something sneaky; whether it's slipping past enemy patrols and surveillance equipment, or doing something downright bastardly that David Stirling would approve of, Marc can get it done.

X-Com Savescumming: Whenever a fumble is made in a battle where X-com soldiers are being used, we have the option to move the fumble to that squad instead of whoever it was originally meant for.

Rookies! Fuuuu!: This XCOM commander has seen some shit, especially of rookies shooting friendlies and panicking like pansies. Nightmares from too many incidents have made him very aware of the troops mental state and he is able to 'Bright-slap' them before they can inflict harm on our own forces.

>>21676800
Mustadio:
"Those Famed Starfleet Engineers": Working alongside the likes of Commander Data, the Guru's of Zeal, and Egon Spengler has given Mustadio the ability to do emergency repairs and jury-rig nearly-impossible magitechnological solutions, even while under pressure, in much less time than stated.
Turning rocks into replicators indeed.

Isel:
"You Didn't Say the Magic Word": After getting his brain hijacked, working to crack systems held together by magic, and seeing impossibly advanced Federation computer systems compromised by teenagers using outdated 20th century PCs, Isel has learned a few things about security. Enemy hackers and malicious programs will have an exceptionally difficult time breaching any systems that he has worked on or is currently logged on to. Especially when they have an obese and bespectacled sprite constantly reminding them that they didn't say the magic word.

>>21676674
Any word on if we can get Seifer and Fujin from the Crusade?

>>21676674
While we're getting things started on late Day 24, can we have Darius and Star-Lord try out the NeiShot to see if either can use it well?
The original description said it's a two-handed cannon, so it might need the physique of a Space Marine.

>>21676787
I was wanting to physically go to Shin-Ra (if we can) and maybe leave them some ships or physical goodies like basic weapons and gear to give them a leg up. Also, it'd give Sylphie an easier time of finding us when she recovers Yellowman.

>>21676800
Marc's skills? I want Hidden Movement and Who Dares (Knock Knock - It's Motherfucking X-COM).

Also, we should have the Farseers check the skeins around Mitsune and Kanako to see if they can divine the exact wording of the geas they're under if they're incapable of remembering the wording. Also, check their bodies for any foreign whosists WE didn't put there. I don't want any surprises.

Late on Day 24, your Science Team submits the following reports as research is completed.

"Transpace Lances: Our Engineering Bay can now produce Transpace Lances, a melee weapon capable of cutting through any known barrier or material by rending the very primal stuff of creation itself. These weapons are extremely difficult to manufacture, and thus take a long time and expensive materials to produce. We can only produce an infantry version at this time, and the only means of production available is through the Engineering Bay."

Noosphere Research: "Our scientists have completed analysis of the disks recovered from the Group's base in the Chernobyl NPP. When combined with current theory about the metaverse, it suggests that what know as reality is created by a sort of communal unconsciousness maintained by all sapient minds. Taking it further, 'reality distortions' seem to manifest when something is forcibly called to existence that conflicts with previous established 'rules'. Some are now theorizing that S.U.E. powers result from such overpowering psychic desires that they cast a shadow in the communal consciousness and allow the nascent S.U.E. to unknowingly tap into it, attempting to force their will on reality with no regard to aftereffect. It is still unknown what can enable such desires to pierce the veil of reality. Regardless, our knowledge has vastly increased, and we can now begin work on next-generation RE machines."

Research unlocked: Reality Emitter Mk.3

Voting for:
50% Reality Emitter Mk. 3
25% TIE-Defender/Wily
25% Aglaophotis-C

>>21676906
How close are those reality emitters to the Crusade one we have in storage? And let's have the engineers finish putting the holoemitters on MechaGodzilla. Should only take an hour and you never know when we need him disguised as a building or something.

>>21676775
Some weapons DO need to be research, the Mass Rifles in particular had bizarre DNA locks and security measures you needed to circumvent in addition to weapon specs.

>>21676850
The original user was a physically fit human, so anyone of soldier physical fitness or better has the requisite musculature to wield the weapon well.

>>21676900
You don't know where they are, though you do have Bruce's comm frequency IIRC.

>>21676900
You have the Farseers attempt to divine this information.

>>21676900
We can go visit Shin-Ra physically later; I think that getting information to them sooner is better than later, especially as the Crusade spreads throughout this sector.

I vote Who Dares and Rookies! Fuuu! for Marc, and the skill for Mustadio and Isel. Also, I think we had a plan to do the planned upgrades for the Blackbird inside Elysium, once the Oncoming Storm's repairs were finished of course.

>>21676928
Seconding this.

Also, begin production on... Let's say six Transpace Lances? That sounds like a good starting number.

>>21676946
Damnit. I thought we fixed this issue with Desna not being pleased at us. Hoo boy.

>mfw Chaosbringer world done

>>21676674
Can we start researching the VX? It's the weapon that managed to destroy Chaosbringer's shield, so we need more into it to pierce the shields of the other enemy groups.

Other thing! How about we start producing scaled-up reality disruptor cannons? Like a super-cannon on the AUH?

>>21677005
We can have the Transpace Lances put into the queue. But first the Engineers need to finish fixing the Storm and installing the Incursion Holo-Emitters onto MechaGodzilla.

>>21677008
What's to say that New Chaos and Void Engineers won't have uber shields like Chaosbringer's?

If anything, harnessing that damn VX will make the next few fights a little smoother with their shields down.

Seconding the Lance production and thirding the research.

>>21676775
You make the trades and the operations successfully.

>>21676787
You transmit a basic report to Ferricelli, he's rather distressed by the news.

"FOUR MILLION SHIPS?!" he yells. "We... We can't even take FOUR ships with what we've got left! If they decide to invade here, we're screwed!"

You then give Holtz the report on the Quarantine Zone.

"After hearing about all that, I need a drink. Also, what the fuck, we had something that creepy in my sector all this time? Goddamn... Makes me feel ashamed of the job I was doing. And I wasn't THAT proud to begin with!"

You begin work on a hydroponics lab/greenhouse in Elysium.

Mass production of ART lenses begins.

The Abjurers will have to work in unison with TechnoWizards for the desired operation. This will prevent the TWs from doing other tasks. Proceed?

>>21676775
>>21676787
>>21676991
Adding to Day 24 Schedule:
14. Engineers finish installing Incursion Holo-Emitters on MechaGodzilla

>>21677008
>>21677049
We can use VX, but first we need to be able to have space force.

>>21677111
>This will prevent the TWs from doing other tasks.
No, do not. We need the TW's working on the Caster Guns.

>>21677111
Proceed. Fericelli, calm down, they seem to be reasonable, even friendly. Holtz, you couldn't have known, so just get mad at the assholes who allowed it to go on.

>>21677175
No, they're working on Caster Guns right now. If they're pulled off that project, that'll slow down the Caster Gun Project.

>>21677037

Do you think we should upgrade the armor/shields on the Storm while we're at it? From the OP's description of the Orz battle, the Storm wasn't able to tank hits real well when its shields went down. The weapons array it has is impressive, but it seems to have a glass jaw.

>>21677221
Okay, finish the caster guns first. Make sure all projects are taking place in Elysium if possible to decrease production time.

>>21677175
"I didn't think it was even POSSIBLE for me to be madder at those idiots. I want your science team to research and produce an Angry Dome. Then, move me there."

"Yeah... yeah that's true," Ferricelli says. "All right, sorry. On edge lately, you know."

Day 28.

You research the A280 and the masks enough so that your replicators can spit them out, but there's a bit of a problem. It seems that the replicators can't replicate Tibanna Gas, so you'll need to secure supplies of the stuff to get the rifles to work. That done, your scientists get to work on this: >>21676928

The repairs to the Storm are mostly completed now, it is spaceworthy. The remaining work that needs to be done no longer needs your Engineers, and is being done by Scarabs. Your Engineers begin production on Transpace Lances.

>>21677285
Are we producing more SY-3s to replace the ones we lost?

And let's get to work developing that Angry Dome.

>>21677285
>Day 28
Wait, wait.
I've got stuff for Day 25 and 26.

>>21677237
The Cruiser was built for speed, and you upgraded its weapons and everything BUT armor. This assessment is accurate.

>>21677264
Your order of Caster Guns is almost complete by this time.

>>21677316
Then let's hear it.

You contact Bruce and give him the run down.

"Hey nice to hear from you again, too. Wow, that's quite the infodump. I'll try to get ahold of everyone else and pass the word along, thanks for the tip."

>>21677285
Produce enough rifles and masks for four teams when possible. Can we send a message yo the Looter team to request some Tibanna gas?

>>21677358
You can. Also, if someone would be so kind as to repost their orders so I can referee it?

>>21677285
>>21677320
The research on the A280's and Masks would have taken 14.8 hours in Real Time because the research would have been done in Elysium.

So the Looters would have left on Day 25.
Ask Ferricelli if he finished the Mad Cat research we asked him to do.

Late Day 25, we move to Sector HQ and the CnC World to research the Chronosphere.

Basically, the Looter Teams were being sent to Star Wars, (Probably that Civil War after the Vong Invasion) and buy as many droids, thermal detonators, repulsors (as spare parts for the TIE Defenders), medpacks, bacta replacements, agricultural droids (for maintaining the hydroponic labs), electrostaffs (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Electrostaff), and some lightsabers (as trade goods). Also R2 or R9 astromech droids.

Overall, get as much Star Wars tech as possible. And now that we know we need that gas, they can pick up either a crap-load of the normal stuff, the synthetic, or the recipe for the synthetic and some normal.

>>21677434
I also want them to stop by Tokyo SOS if possible, and see if they can grab Kiryu since it's just sitting in the Sea of Japan doing nothing. Shouldn't be too hard seeing as the thing was battery powered and probably has long since run out of energy.

We go back to Temple Prime, and actually do some real research on the Chronosphere. I want to find out where Kane went, and some of the time-travel tech.

I have a plan to reunite us with an old friend.

>>21677365
Where do we prioritize the VX research? Since our TP lances are limited to infantry-grade, this is going to serve as our "large-scale" version for the meantime.

>>21677516
Sounds good. I bet Black Ops is doing something funny right now with Chronospheres. By the way, is Kalinka still safe?

Rolled 22, 100 = 122

>>21677378
>>21676775
"2 days RT"
"1 day RT" RT= Real-Time.

You send your looter teams out with your blasters and masks to trade.

How exactly are you going to research the Chronosphere?

Still waiting on Day 25 and 26 plans that you said you had.

>>21677365

OP, how much time/resources would it take to refit the Storm with Battletech WarShip armor? How much of an effectiveness boost would that confer? How about Starfleet-grade armor?

I can't think of any major armor upgrades that we could complete in a few days. Starfleet-grade material would be nice, but it could be pricey and time-consuming.

>>21677545
That was a typo.
You said 2 days to research blaster rifles and 1 day for Masks last session, and so by doing the research in Elysium it'll be 14.8 hours for the rest of the task force.

File: 1353464453525.jpg-(135 KB, 330x250, swrebelfleet.jpg)

>>21677516
This is doable, but will pause research on your other projects. Proceed?

>>21677544
Kalinka is fine.

>>21677488
>100
They acquire large amounts of all of that, AND manage to locate and recover a badly damaged Hiryu, AND somehow manage to hire a mercenary fighter wing with refurbished X-Wings. (72 fighters.)

...AND they get a new skill.

Ferricelli winces. "We've been at it, but we've hit a few snags with the lab-work. Sorry."

>>21677545
>>21677580
>Chronosphere
Have Security Holograms secure the Temple complex due to possible Tiberium contamination. We have scientists, and Egon, Data, Cossack, Mordin, and Gaspar go over the Chronosphere itself and any computer records there. Use Federation temporal mechanics research to find out the operation of the Chronosphere.

We're going to travel back in time, go to Dark Matter Branch right after the last transmission that the Sector HQ received, take everyone there and resurrect our troops and Gaunt that died, shoot up the base, and slap back in time.

>>21677610
> AND manage to locate and recover a badly damaged Kiryu

YAY! Kiryu! I will love you forever my giant millennium kaiju. Now to install LSEs and a new Absolute Zero Cannon.

>>21677552
I seem to recall it being said that Starfleet armor was pretty terrible, them being shield-tanked. Battlespace armor is probably a safer bet. You'd need to send out the Looter team again, though.

>>21677580
Yeah, just found the notes myself. All right, you have some extra research time, then.

The Looters return with all of that on Day 28.

So I had a plan on how to increase our space and potentially ground effectiveness, but we'd need at least a day of replicator time and a meta-transit to do it.

We'd need to go to EVE Online, and using our previous replicator time replicate a literal metric shitton of Technetium to sell. Then, we'd buy at least one complete Armorfleet (50 Guardians, 5 Boosting Lokis, a couple Cloaky scouts, and a Prober, 20-30 tackle of some heavy dictors, Lokis, Phoboses, Stabber Fleet Issues and Omen Fleet Issues, and the rest Abaddons), with fits I can link to if you want them.

Along with that, we'd get the BPOs needed to replace every ship and module in the fleet, or just a few hundred spares for the faction modules.

Then, we'd get a couple War Barges for our ground forces, and a bunch of dropsuits, modules, weapons, and vehicles to evaluate. As well, we'd buy/hire pilots for all this.

Thoughts?

>>21677610
I think we should put our research on pause for this.
We don't know where Kane went, he most likely went somewhere in the Meta. For all we know, he could have gone to SHODAN and we'd get coordinates to where she is.

>>21677671

Kane could have "ascended", whatever that means. The ending of the most recent C&C game had him going through a portal doohickey.

>>21677669

** Change Phobos to Proteus, derp.

>>21677739
Except that our initial analysis of the data in the very beginning of the quest showed that the Chronosphere was working, but he wasn't exactly traveling through time. Also, this world is most definitely not at the point in time where he would have been able to build a machine to Ascend.

>>21677610

>Kiryu

With or without its cannons and other weapons?

>>21677610
Let's put the move on hold until current projects are complete. Looter team, well done! You all get commendations! Now, for the looter team's new skill, any ideas?

>>21677804
Seeing as we dredged it out of the Sea of Japan after Tokyo SOS, it doesn't have it's missile pods. It should still have the flight parts attached though. But then the whole thing HAS been sitting underwater for an undetermined amount of time after fighting Godzilla so it's a crapshoot if any of his add-ons still work.

A note guys, we still have the EVA carcasses in the hold to be researched as well.

Should we see if we can grow S2 organs?

>>21677894
It's a question of, is it more important to have the Tria operational, or get an EVA operational, or take the S2 Organ out and put it into Kiryu.

>>21677804
>>21677870
Flight parts are there, but need repair too. Nothing else.

>>21677669
Using the Looters for this?

Are you looking into the Chronosphere or not? I see one vote for and one against.

>>21677929
Be back in a bit.

Your repairs on the other ships should be done on Day 30, just to give you an idea of time. Please come to consensus on the Chronosphere as well as plans during that time for my return.

>>21677921

I was wondering if we could grow sufficient S2 organs to implant on our ISD, AUH and Storm.

>>21677921
Kiryu will need a new power source. His current (and canon) one is a limited operation battery that uses an energy relay built into japan and transferred by the White Herons to recharge in the field.

>>21677929

EVE plan guy here, waiting for others opinions on it before I take a large amount of time off the replicators for the tech needed.

Also, as an amendment, we should try to find or loot at least one Titan as well, so we can use it's Bridge to hot-drop the armorfleet on targets.

Or just get a capital fleet of Boot Carriers and Dreads, but I think a Capfleet is something MetaOP won't let us has.

>>21678031

Well, we could pick up POS components to run our own EVE fleet manufacturing line. That should free up our replicators.

>>21678058

We'd need the replicators for the Technetium to get the ISK to get the starting hulls, pod pilots, and BPOs.

After that, yeah, we could go POSes and whatnot for moongoo and get some miners for minerals, but we'd still need replicators for T3 components and boosters.


We might also want to try and get another few Supercarriers to back up the Nocturne, maybe 6-8 more? At least then we could spidertank.

>>21678031
Your plan seems intriguing but I don't think such a large investment is a good idea. Unless we can solely rely on the Looter team to get this stuff.

>>21678031
We still need magical reagents and items from a Pathfinder world, and we also need to get Ethers, Elixirs, Phoenix Downs, and the herb plantings and seeds needed to make them ourselves as well from an Ivalice world.
I'm more concerned with getting those since we can make Hiigaran defense field frigates and destroyers.

>>21678080
Technetium is an element.
Replicators do not create elements.
Your plan depends on a faulty understanding of Federation technology.

MMmmm.

This talk of running into the EVE canon is going about the wrong way.

What we need to do is go into a verse where people play EVE Online. All we need to do is sell some replicated bars of plat, gold and we can buy enough 30 days passes to amass ISK and legitimately purchase all the ships and goods we need.

We can then jump to that EVE Online verse and pick up the goods without having to steal. That shouldn't require the looter team but just our transport wing.

>>21678089

The investment is wholly replaceable, because lolclones, as long as we can get the BPOs and a stock of faction mods. The only thing is the amount of time needed to make that Tech, since I'm not sure how fast it can be made.

Same thing with the ground units.

>>21678092
Yeah, we can make our own ships for now. I'm going to go full no-vote for the EVE ship idea. Sorry Anon. But save the idea, because we could implement it later.

>>21678132

Then we'll replicate Repfleet Warp Disruptors, or another high-value faction mod.


Or we could do this plan: >>21678133


Also, we don't NEED the looters for my plan, it's literally just buying ships and getting them out of the canon.

All we need is a meta-capable ship, our remaining EVE assets, and the materials.

>>21678168 here

>>21678132

Or we could replicate Platinum Technite, and, after mining it with out Homeworld ships, use their wormhole transfer tech to get the base elements separate back in our holds.

Problem solved.

So far there's 2 against spending resources and time on EVE ships, 1 for.
1 for analyzing the Chronosphere, 1 against.

>>21678564
1 for analyzing Chronosphere.

1 for Eve ships. They'll take relatively little time and can be done while other shit is being done.

And they're good anti-fleet ships.

>>21677929

So here's an idea:

Looters go to the to find what's detailed in >>21678092

While that happens, our main fleet stays in CnC world for the Chronosphere research.

As well, the AUH, with the mountain of replicated Technetium after the "straining" via Homeworld resourcers, goes to EVE canon with our EVE subcaps, where we buy up at least one Armorfleet, if not two, as well as BPOs, stocks of required Faction modules/hulls (Platings, warp disruptors, Webs, SFIs/ONIs/ maybe some navy Geddons, etc), and any Nyxs or Aeons we can find on the open market via Chribba we can get, as well as pilots, and a couple War Barges, and as many DUST 514 dropsuits, weapons, vehicles, and blueprints as we can get. As well as of course, people to use them.

Anything I've missed or objection?

>>21678640

As well, if we can swing it, maybe getting 50-75 carriers with triage and "boot" fits might be an objective, but I don't know the state of the open capital market to know whether that many carriers are even purchasable.

>>21678640

Sounds good.

I hope they go to FFT verse.

If we're very lucky they might run into Ramza.

>>21678640
While our main fleet is in CnC, if the engineers are free we can begin repairs on Kiryu, if not put him in Queue and figure out what we need to replace and fix on him.

>>21678698
Engineers are building Transpace Lances. Do you want to have them work on Kiryu next?

>>21678640
I guess you're doing this?

>>21678640
The Looters should have Al'Kesh 1 and 2 go with them. When they go to Ivalice they will need some of te White Mages to help identify the alchemical reagents they need.
When going to a Pathfinder world, they will need Aeshma, and at least 1 Abjurer.
Spike can also help barter, and he'll get to try different foods.

>>21678698
The engineers still need to get the Tria operational, finish repairs on MechaGodzilla, and make the Transpace Lances.

>>21678640
Okay, that sounds fine.

>>21678869
>Engineers
Did they finish repairing MechaGodzilla and installing the Incursion Holo-Emitters?
After that, and the Lances, the need to build an LSE Array for the Tria.

I second the Al Kesh use by the Looter team. Also, for Engineers, how about Lances, then Tria, then MG, then Kiryu?

>>21678872

Send along our ladies and Mustadio.

They'll appreciate being able to see their home again for a short while.

>>21678906
The Incursion Emitters shouldn't take more then an hour to finish installing, I believe. So put him in wherever.

>>21678872
Make sure that the Looters are given gold and platinum needed to purchase their items, and they get a suitcase full of gold bars to donate to a church of Desna.

>>21679065
Mustadio needs to stay with the task force since he is one of the key engineers in the Caster Gun project and is needed to produce another Caster Rifle and 2 more Caster Pistols.

>>21678640
Right, you send your Looters out to Ivalice first as you bring the AUH around to New Eden.

How much time are you willing to bum around in New Eden (Eve) buying and selling?

>>21679241
Hmm...the Caster Gun prototypes would be completed by the time that the Looter team comes back from their first mission.
MetaOP, would Mustadio going back to Ivalice to assist in identifying materials and reagents we need to acquire adversely affect the production of new Caster Guns?

>>21679296
Yes.

Also, I need that skill for the Looter team.

>>21679288

Not very long. You can get almost everything instantly at Jita 4-4.

>>21679288
2 days is the most that I'm willing to spend. Day 30 we need to relieve the TSAB Dimensional Navy at the VE-NC Battlefield.

I'd like to go with this trait for the looters posted in the IRC.

"What's this doing here" - Looters have an increased chance of returning with useful but unasked for goods from missions, simply due to blind luck.

Pretty much, they have a chance of finding useful stuff, or even randomly just picking up a random artifact due to their kleptomania.

>>21679288

Armorfleet should be good to go in less than a day, after we hire on the pilots, including some mining alts for getting resources to support replacement programs.

We should also get some POSes for moongoo and construction in CnC canon.

Capitals should also only take a day, depending on how fast Chribba can get us the hulls we need (Either 4-8 Nyx/Aeons, or 25+ Carriers with Triage and Boot fits)

If we can't get more Capitals, just load up on Armorfleets, as many complete ones as we can.

>>21679326

I see dead People

This looter team has been doing its job for quite sometime and does it well. Their skills at picking out objects of high value sometimes results in them returning with highly skilled personnel they snagged while going about their theiving duties.

Picking out and bringing back great additions to Task Force 38's team.

Would it be possible to find out what that Gungnir/Spear of Destiny we looted from that one Dark Matter canon does?
I want to know if we should start shopping for eyepatches.

>>21679326
"Transporter Discount": working closely with ships equipped with transporters has made this Looter Team far more effective in acquiring goods and resources. When paired with a vessel that has a transporter, the Looter Team will almost never fail to achieve minimum mission success (at least 1 of every asked for item).

>>21679326
MetaOP, we still need that list of identified stuff we looted from the Dark Matter Canon.

Also please let us know as soon as we make a breakthrough on the Chronosphere. Time and time and time again, we're going back to fix at least one mistake we made.

>>21679326
Okay OP, keep Mustadio here but Elaine and Lyla can go help/visit. And as for the skill, how about this:
"The Friends and Family Discount": The Looter team have become more adept at finding people who will give them good deals, special offers, and access to hard to purchase items.

>>21679454

Send our Knights too. They've been at the forefront of most of our fights.

>>21679485
The Knights Inductor? Going to Ivalice?
Besides standing out like a sore thumb amongst the regular people of that Canon, the Knights won't be of much use in this type of acquisition mission.
Why should the Knights go?

>>21679534

I think he meant our FFT knights.

Agrias, Alicia, Lavian.

>>21679439
Day 29

Your looters return with a stockpile of Phoenix Downs, Elixers, and Ethers. They were unable to figure out what you'd need to make them yourselves.

Your capsuleers are still making deals in Jita.

Having sent your scientists to look into the Chronosphere research from the NOD base, they are able to discern two things by today. First, there isn't enough to go on to replicate a Chronosphere, and second, they've managed to get coordinates for the location Kane sent himself.

It's the world right in the middle of the area being fought over by the Void Engineers and New Chaos.

>It's the world right in the middle of the area being fought over by the Void Engineers and New Chaos

>>21679585
...Of course it is.

>>21679585

Any luck with the capitals/supercaps?

And the POSes and arrays for moon mining and ship/module production?

>>21679585
Alright. Ask Data if the research on the Chronosphere, combined with his knowledge of temporal mechanics, is enough to allow the Indefatigable to make a short jaunt through time, of a few weeks. Enough to before the population of the Dark Matter Canon was *pulled*, and then to bring the ship back to the present.

What in the infinite hells?

>>21679585
>They were unable to figure out what you'd need to make them yourselves.
Wait, just to be sure. Lyla and Elaine have Chemist and they weren't able to provide the list of ingredients needed to make Ethers and Phoenix Downs, some of the most commonly sold items?

Marc Lecointe
Who Dares iii
Hidden Movement i
Rookies! FUUU! ii

Skills for Marc Lecointe, X-COM NOVA Hero:
Who Dares (Knock Knock It's Motherfucking X-COM!)
Rookies! FUUU!

Still no consensus on Looter Team Skill.

>>21679748
Oh, Phoenix Downs are easy. You need to capture a phoenix, mainly. Something that'll take you way too much time. Ethers are a bit more doable, but require esoteric ingredients that grow wild. Shall I rephrase? They don't figure out how to make them with farmable easily replicated methods and materials.

>>21679627
No.

The way is SHUT.

>>21679439
Thanks for reminding me. I finally dug up the books and it's mainly an exotic collection of items that enhance spells and mystic rituals, provide protection from them, and provide a 'battery' of sorts. It's too much trouble to detail what each and everyone one of them are, so I'm splitting them into three groups.

Protection Artifact (x6): These items grant a mystic ward that otherworldly creatures have great difficulty passing. The ward is about 10' around the bearer.

Battery Artifact(x12): This artifact allows the bearer to draw upon its power to cast additional spells equal to 20% of his magic pool.

Enhancement Artifact (x12): These artifacts charge the spells and rituals cast by the bearer with additional energy for a greater effect.

The Spear of Destiny you found is a potent artifact vibrant with holy energies. It is particularly effective against otherworldly enemies and can be thrown to generate a causality alteration wave that grants 'luck' for lack of a better term for all allies fighting.

>>21679858
>>21679871
I thought that at least some of the herbs could be cultivated.
Oh well. At least that sugarcane will make Cheryl happy.

>The way is SHUT. And the Orz keep it.
Dammit. I was really hoping to get Gaunt back now that we're finally going after New Chaos.

>>21679954
Do the battery artifacts recharge over time like the Techno-Wizard PPE mana batteries?

>>21679995
Yes they do.

>>21679995
Actually I think you can probably manage enough to make Potions, giving it further thought.

>>21680011
Alright, have our researchers restart this research queue;
>>21676928
We need the Mk3 Reality Emitter for where we are going.
We need space superiority fighters (and should be done in 1.5 days).
Finally, we saw how effective Aglaophotis-A was against Warp Daemons. Against the stronger versions that New Chaos fields, we will need the C version.

>>21680004
I vote for I see dead people.

>>21680077
>able to make potions
Thank you!
Being able to make potions is great, since it can help troops in large deployments and takes some of the pressure off of the White Mages.

>>21680004
I vote for "Random extra loot"

>>21680004
As the one that came up with it, I can't vote for "Transporter Discount" again.
But I think that it's important to have, considering our usual luck with the diceroller.
Today has been an irregular day. We shouldn't depend on it always being thus.

>>21680004

"Never completely fuck up" sounds good. We almost lost them one time, but for a lucky reroll which granted us the industrial replicators.

Ok, we're up to three on never fuck up entirely as I'm changing my vote to get this vote over with.

MetaOP, could you provide the man-hours needed to create 1 of some of our advanced items, such as Transpace Lances, Reality Disruptor Rifles and starship banks, the two levels of Aglaophotis, reality emitters, and psi-shield (capital-ship).
I know it's a quite a bit of work, but I think that if you use the UFOpaedia's articles on Alien Toxin as a baseline for how long, it won't be as difficult.
And it'll make calculating how long it takes to manufacture items easier.
Do a little work now, and it'll be easier in the long run.

MetaOP, it's been 20 days inside Elysium; has Dr. Lazarus and Dr. Solus been able to find a way to deprogram Ryoko's Children?

So we have to hit New Chaos and Void Engineers now, huh? We'll need the VX to pop their shields consistently. All of them.

Because you're not succeed if you're just gonna load a KI into a torpedo tube with a TP Lance and send him into a ship's shields.

>>21680648
Can't we loot the remains of the MP EVAs and modify their lances into Transphases?

>>21680657

Gentlemen, have I mentioned how much I LOVE our looter team?

Seriously, these guys deserve a goddamn medal.

>>21680657

That wasn't our Looters, that was the All Under Heaven and the delicious tears of the GSF wondering why Tech prices slumped and all the Abaddon hulls disappeared.

>>21680705

Also, keep in mind we can only USE 170 Abaddons at a time, we can only field 256 ships in a fleet at once because EVE.

The rest are spares, and we should get our POSes anchored ASAP in a single system so we can start pumping out assorted replacement hulls.

>>21680705
Too bad, the Looter team is getting the credit for it.

>>21680735
256 sounds like a programming limit, like a hex value.

My good elegan/tg/entlemen, I have encountered a great problem. This quest does not have a 1d4chan wiki page. Is there someone who can rectify this terrible omission?

Rolled 86, 70, 97, 91 = 344

>>21680391
Then that's what they get.

>>21680563
Let's find out.

>>21680655
What MP Evas?

>>21680393
Yeah, yeah, I'm on it.

>>21680751
Nah, then it'd be 255, wouldn't it?

>>21680751

It's actually because of the way EVE structures fleets. Each squad is 10 ships, 5 squads per wing plus a commander, 5 wings in a fleet plus a commander. 256 ships.

>>21680775
>mfw

>>21680775
I think he means the three EVA corpses we picked up in Chaosbringer's World.

>>21680851
You know, we should have opened up Unit-01 on Day 25 to see what happened to the entry plug, and if 01 and 00 have S2 Organs.

>>21680775
MP Eves from EoE, or any of the dozen or so SRW variant canons.

There are about 8 MP EVAs, right? Here are the games where the MP series shows up:

SRW Alpha
SRW MX
SRW Alpha DC
SRW Alpha 3
SRW F Final

So you can get salvage 40 of their replica lances if you're lucky.

>>21680874
If they do, we can plant one inside Kiryu and use the other for further research.

>>21680775
...yes they have. Despite the fact that they really were not supposed to. Dr. Solus and Dr. Lazarus have managed to undo the loyalty programming of the children while not harming the nascent personalities. From there, advanced deprogramming and kindly care, helped with check-ups from Elaine have eased the former zealots into something far closer to normal of a mindset. They still feel very uncomfortable around men and are somewhat... we'll use the term rambunctious, but they're no longer homicidal.

Upon rejoining the rest of the fleet, the AUH detects a space-time disturbance as a small shuttle pierces reality and emerges into space a few hundred miles away from your fleet. It immediately hails your ship.

>>21680884
You mean actually send the looter team to a canon where giant robots with the power to rend time, space and reality are fighting? Let's not.

>>21680896
Alright, let's get that up on the main screen.
Also have the Indefatigable and the All Under Heaven scan the shuttle and it's Meta-Transit Drive to see if there's a match in ANON's database.

>>21680896
Mr. Codeki, let's see what they want. Main Screen.

"Unidentified Shuttle, this is the TG Ship All Under Heaven, please state your intent."

>>21680896
Open a channel, while scanning the shuttle to see if there's a match in our database.
"Unidentified shuttle, this is Task Force 38 of the Transpace Guard. You are currently within TG-controlled space. Please identify yourself."

>>21680884
Then no.

>>21680896
Dr. Lazarus has reported that they're probably as close to normal as you can get, and are generally fit to re-enter society, none of their problems fitting the criteria for mentally ill according to the DSM-XXIII.

About the only problem is that they've taking a liking to Elaine and constantly try to follow her around when she's in their areas of the ship. Mordin reports they seem to be trying to impress her, a fact he finds fascinating. He's developed a few theories on that.

Elaine reports she wants a vacation. Fast.

>>21680924
>>21680937
>>21680916
"Task Force 38, this is Great Crusade shuttle Hesse with passengers bound for your fleet. Requesting docking clearance and path."

>>21680954
>Elaine wants a vacation
Alright, we'll try to arrange time off at a nice baseline world's tropical resort, once we finish with the Void Engineers and New Chaos.

>>21680993
"Understood Hesse. Sending flight path and docking bay berth now."

Wait a second....did we give the Crusade coordinates to Sector HQ?
I don't think we gave them coordinates to Sector HQ.

>>21680775

The dice are odd today.

What is going on?

>>21681029
Zerg Quest is throwing around 30 and 40 dice at a time. I think it's having an effect on the diceroller's RNG seed.

>>21680993

Greetings Hesse. Permission granted. Directing you to our ATC for docking instructions.

>>21680769
>My good elegan/tg/entlemen, I have encountered a great problem. This quest does not have a 1d4chan wiki page. Is there someone who can rectify this terrible omission?


Yeah, this is a problem. The problem is figuring what's what, or if we just make the codex properly readable.

>>21680954

Awww. Looks like they've imprinted upon Elaine!

That would be completely adorable, if not for the circumstances of their conception.

>>21680954

Hey kids, you know what will impress Elaine? You all performing Gilbert and Sullivan!

Uncle Mordin know more...

>>21681022
My guess is they weren't heading to sector HQ, they followed our Meta drive trail. They ARE more advanced then us, after all.

>>21681022
"This is shuttle Hesse! Help us! We're being pulled into a plot hole!!!"

no.

You receive a call on your Meta-Comm requesting a ship to meet the shuttle in neutral space, what I posted is what happens when you show up. This isn't the mistake you're looking for, you can go about your business. Move along. Move along!

>>21681095

Uh, ok then. Let's agree to meet at neutral territory... shall we dispatch a small force or move our entire fleet to the meeting area?

>>21681095
Ah. Okay then. I suppose we have the All Under Heaven meet them, since we don't want to lose the time acceleration that the Oncoming Storm, and consequently our scientists and engineers, enjoys while in Elysium.

Also, how quickly was the hydroponics lab and greenhouses built by the Engineering Hologram Construction Team?
If they finished on like Day 26, I'd like it if they helped Sector HQ personnel with their repairs.

>>21681022
The shuttle docks and two familiar figures step off.

"You guys happy to see me?" Seifer asks, letting his gunblade rest on his shoulder. "I'm here to work off my prison sentence."

"REINFORCEMENTS," Fujin states behind him.

"I just need to know three things," Seifer says, raising a hand. "Where's our rooms, who needs to die, and when's dinner."

>>21681125
As it's a shuttle, and we don't want to interrupt the resourcing operations of the Spirit and Hercules, just the AUH should be fine.

>>21681153

"Room. Singular."

Show them to a double with a shared King-sized bed.

>>21681153
"Here are your comm badges. Your rooms are on the Oncoming Storm, which is currently in Elysium. Demons and sexual deviants are going to be our next likely target, if we're lucky. Geeks who know how to make science and reality bend to their will if we're not. And dinner is served at 1800 hours, though the cafeteria is open 24-7 except when we go to General Quarters.

>>21681153

Mr. Speigel, Mr. Crowe, if you would be so kind as to give our new guests here a quick tour of our facilities?

And be sure to steer them clear of any nutritional shortcuts that Mr. Spengler is cooking up.

>>21681153
Seifer! We must promptly give him and Fujin a hug.
We have a number of extra quarters, pick one that's unoccupied and tell us you claimed it. You can Fujin can bunk together or seperately.
Dinner is whenever, there's a bar around here somewhere and replicators within easy access. We'll get to the killing part later.

Also, try not to start fights and don't piss off Kiryu. Last thing we need is an angry Godzilla rampaging in the ship. So, either of you up for a game of Triple Triad?

>>21681136
That works, sure.

>>21680393

Assuming half your engineers are working on it...

It takes one day to create one batch of Aglaophotis-B, which is about enough to supply about 4 squads for 2 missions.

It takes a half day to do the same for Aglaophotis-A.

It takes about two days to create one Transpace Lance.

It takes about a day to create three Reality Disruptor Rifles.

It takes about three days to create a capital-ship Reality Disruptor.

It takes about two days for a Psi-Shield.

>>21681196
"Oh goodie. Demons and sexual deviants. We totally just didn't deal with enough of those," Seifer says, rolling his eyes.

>>21681170
"...king-sized bed, huh?" Seifer says, rubbing his chin.

"FLOOR," Fujin declares. Seifer scowls.

>>21681218
"LATER," Fujin states.

>>21681307

>FLOOR

...Ahahaha. I'm am going to enjoy this

>>21681307
FUCK! We forgot about Mobile Infantry and Knight Inductor Power Armor that needs replacing! We can't engage New Chaos without these soldiers being fully prepared!

How long does our Science Team estimate that it would take to put the designs into the Industrial Replicators, Phased Disassembler Array, and Creation Engine?

>>21681307
Let's get the EVAs out of storage and put them into Queue for the doctors and engineers to look at them. Perferably in queue after Kiryu's repairs.

File: 1353482260706.png-(58 KB, 640x480, AisforAglaophotis.png)

>>21681383
A day for the both of them, real time. IE, 5 days if you didn't have Elysium.

Ah, by the way, as it is Day 30, you complete research of a few things...

"The TIE-Defender Type C is an automated space interceptor. It functions as the TIE-Defender, but with a positronic brain pilot built into the ship that's just as good as a human pilot. Our Hiigaran Shipyard has been programmed with the schematics, but the Hercules has not."

"Aglaophotis-C: This potent substance still falls short of True Aglaophotis, but it's as close as we can make it. Several potent spells and enchantments are woven into the stuff while it cooks, a precise chemical mixture of sacred herbs grown in a hydroponics tray filled with potions, and scientific compounds. A vial of this stuff is enough to kill a demon or hurt a demi-god."

"The mark three Reality Emitter comprises the apex of Transpace Guard reality manipulation technology. It generates a stabilized bubble pf space-time with solidified rules of physics that shuts down any SUE-derived power completely, and dampens the effect of others. Our scientists feel it may be possible to weaponize this, but they complain they lack a final piece of the puzzle."

>>21681231
Okay, we have 69 engineers, as the University of Planet Research Team is usually working as part of the Science Team.
20 X-COM Engineers, 20 Gav Gate-clones, 24 Salarian Field Engineers, 5 Confederate Engineers.

So we'll assume 34 engineers is half our Engineering Team.
1 batch of Aglaophotis-B is 816 Man-Hours.
1 batch of Aglaophotis-A is 408 Man-Hours.
1 Transpace Lance is 1632 Man-Hours.
1 Reality Disruptor Rifle is 272 Man-Hours.
1 Capital-Ship Reality Disruptor is 2448 Man-Hours.
1 Capital-Ship Psi-Shield is 1632 Man-Hours.

>>21681530
Also, as mentioned earlier, are you going to assign the MegaCrash launcher to anyone? The NeiShot?

Memo for self: Sylph deliveries on Day 30.

>>21681612
Our Engineering Queue before the arrival of the Kiryu was to be:
1. Manufacture and install LSE Array for the Tria (8 days in Elysium, 1.6 days Real-Time).
2. Finish repairs of MechaGodzilla, and installation of Incursion Holo-Emitters (?, ?)
3. Install Federation Shields on the Mikasa.
4. Repair VP-98, VP-99, HK-50.
5. Upgrade the Blackbird

If we have any Engineer time left over, it would be to repair the Kiryu, rebuild Liberty Prime, and produce Aglaophotis-B.

>>21681530

Place on order another 3 bog standard Tie-defenders. We have pilots who have no aircraft.

The Type-C will neccesitate a new reorganisation of our TIE squadron. As we produce more Type-Cs we should assign TIE-Defender Vets as controllers of the squadron/wing in their own craft.

That will allow us to bring greater, more expendable numbers to bear while still allowing our forces to have the spark of sentient ingenuity.

>>21681612
I'd say assign the NeiShot to Darius. While any of the other soldier Heroes could use it, it's a weapon that's big enough to require two hands. Darius, being a Space Marine, should be able to wield it with only one hand, allowing him to hold Ringil in the other.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, MetaOP.

As for the MegaCrash Launcher, put a shoulder strap on it and give it to Star-Lord, keeping one unit of ammunition back for replication purposes.

>>21681688
Day 28 is when our Engineers became available.
Day 30 is when they are no longer available.
That's 2 days of Realtime, 10 days of Elysium Time.

Putting together the LSE for the Tria will take 8 of those Elysium Days.
That leaves 2.
I'd say to put that towards repairing MechaGodzilla, and repairing the 3 droids.

>>21681732
You are wrong. It'll still require two hands for Darius to be wielded effectively. Oh, he COULD wield it and Ringil in either hand, but it'd be very, very ungainly.

>>21681688
Day 28 has them working on Transpace Lances, too. I'll assume that trumps this.

The installation of the Holoemitters is done by now. Repairs on the Mechagodzilla take until Day 28.

Installing Shields on the Mikasa takes all of Day 29.

Repairing the droids is complete early in Day 30.

How are you upgrading the Blackbird again?

Aglophotis C takes twice as long to make as B, by the way.

>>21681801

How about replacement equipment for the MI and KI?

>>21681530
>but they complain they lack a final piece of the puzzle."

Time to have the scientists look at the VX Engine of the Brasta then.

>>21681827
>Blackbird upgrades
The idea was to upgrade it with some of the Starfleet weapons we acquired on our shopping trip at Drozana Station.
Starfleet Shields, Phaser Arrays, an All Environment Refit like the Hercules, Incursion Holo-Emitter, and a Micro-Photon Torpedo Launcher.
It's really more of a wishlist item.

>>21681891
Well, you don't have enough time to do that by Day 30 end, but you could get started on it.

MI/KI gear needs to be researched first.

With the time remaining, your team could make a single Transpace Lance.

>>21681912
Instead of putting engineering into the Blackbird, I think it's important to beef up the defenses of the Oncoming Storm.
Would we be able to install 2 Starfleet Shield Generators and 2 Phaser Cannons on the Storm, with BLU Engineer leading the team, by sometime on Day 30?

>>21681958
Yes.

>>21682006
Your Caster Guns are researched by Day 27, then produced by Day 30.

OK, I'll pick this up tomorrow. I think that about wraps up the logistics. Tomorrow will be a long awaited party.

As of Day 30:
Research:
Mobile Infantry/Space Marine/MetPharm Powered Armor 100%
Estimated Completion: Mid-Day 31

Replication:
3 TIE Defender, 60 TIE Defender/Cossack
Spirit of Triumph
Estimated Completion: 10 minutes
Advanced Bio-Stabilization Mask for all Troops
All Industrial Replicators
Estimated Completion: 4 minutes
Securitron Mk. 2
Hercules
Estimated Completion: 15 minutes
YVH Combat Droid x36
Hercules
Estimated Completion: 1 minute


Engineering:
Install 2 Starfleet Shield Generators, 2 Starfleet Phaser Cannons on the Oncoming Storm.
BLU Engineer and Mustadio assigned to project.
Estimated Completion: Sometime Day 30

Magic Engineering:
1 batch of Aglaophotis-B
Guru's, Techno-Wizards, Abjurers
Estimated Completion: End of Day 30

>>21677610
>...AND they [Looter team] get a new skill.
I'm thinking something like:
"Leave no man behind"
The chance of losing heroes/troops/ships/etc. from a mission going bad is greatly reduced. Treat rolls from 5-40 as being equal to a roll of 40 when deciding what heroes, troops, and ships don't make it back from a botched mission.

>>21681612
>>21681732

If Shephard is up for it, we could assign him the Neishot. He seems to regularly tote around a ton of guns.

Alternatively, we could also assign it to Tosh.

>>21682613
There were some problems with the calculations I did for this.
I also added some Replication items.

I'm voting for getting the Tria powered up. Those drones will be very useful.

>>21687933
yep, expecially since they pretty much ignore shields.

We will need to research them so we can make more of them though. They're very limited.

We got a Titan and almost 200 Abaddons? Sweet.

After having been stuck away from these threads for quite some time, I've noticed nobody ever thought to use the Nocturnes ECM Burst capalibity to temporarily shut down enemy targetting systems. Anyone mind if we just let Palleon command the firing of that and the new Erebus's Anti-Matter doomsday weapon? The Doomsday weapon basically makes a WH40k Battleship sized ship die instantly once every ten minutes.

>>21690297

Erebus is for bridging our Armorfleet into combat, not DD. A naked titan with no triagefleet or siege dreads to support it? Fuck no, bitch.

Also only 170 Baddons are really usable, due to fleet size limitations.

I do hope that people realize that none of the new EVE ships have Reality Emitters on them; not even the old Mk. I, since we looted them, rather than having Requisitions do it for us.

We can have the Vault make some, and maybe some of the engineering workshops at Sector HQ are back online, but if we meet anything wielding SUE powers, those ships will need to stay close to the other ships that do have Reality Emitters.

>>21691727

That won't be an issue, but considering we're going into conventional combat it should be less of a threat. Given the fleet will be staying tightly packed, though, we should only need 3-4 Capital grade emitters, one on the main anchor and backup, and the same for the logi.

That should cover everything.

>>21687333
This looks workable. All set for Engineering, then?

All done with logistics work for now?

So, we have to determine what to do with Ryoko's kids.
They're part Juraian nobility, so in addition to their Olympian physique, they have extremely long lifespans, superhuman strength, and can generate forcefields and energy blasts.
With the destruction of Washu's Lab, we will need to confirm if they still have access to Ryoko's powers of flight, energy swords, and matter phasing.

We have 20 now, and more are being deprogrammed currently.

Keep in mind that even though we've removed their loyalty programming, they still are very uncomfortable around males.

>>21692632
Oh, additional: ask the the Vault and Sector HQ to start production of Reality Emitter Mk 3 for Capital Ships and personnel.

Also, transmit all of our new research to the Vault, and tell them to begin dispersal to other TG forces in neighboring sectors.
And warn other TG forces to NOT engage the Great Crusade.

>>21692660
You send off the transmissions and the requests.

On Day 30, there is a massive space-time disturbance within your ship's cargo bay as a small building with a neon sign declaring "SHOP" bursts up from the floor.

"Oh my!" declares a voice from within as Sylph walks out. "I wasn't expecting that... I was supposed to arrive planetside. Oh well. Your delivery is here!"

File: 1353550844160.jpg-(83 KB, 904x528, CirnoShoujoSparkles.jpg)

>>21692868
"Hi, Sylph. Yeah; we're not normally planetside. Don't worry we've got plenty of bay room. For the record; yay goodies! Now, any luck with finding Yellowman? It'd be really fun to have him back among friends."

>mfw SHINIES delivered to us

>>21692660
Let's ask if they would like to become one of our elite teams. They'll only have to work with each other and other females, with males only in emergencies.

>>21692868
Welcome aboard, Sylph. Picked up anything interesting since last time?

>>21692868
"Hello, Miss Sylphie! We've been expecting you. How have Bruce, Regina, and Hiryu been? Has Shin-Ra introduced themselves to the neighbors?"

Drat, I knew I forgot something. We should have made more SY-3's that we can throw into the grinder.

>>21692942
That's pretty restrictive. They're going to have to work with men in this task force, especially given our war situation.
As for their use, the ability to generate energy shields would make them ideal for providing cover for the White Mages.

File: 1353551640677.gif-(20 KB, 256x256, 806.gif)

>>21692940
"Sadly, I've still not been able to find him. I think I'm getting closer, though. I heard rumors of a ship that sounds like his I'm checking into," Sylph says. "I've got your clothes, if you'd like to send your people down to receive them. Have to make sure they fit before I finalize the sale. I won't have shoddy merchandise befoul my reputation!"

>>21692942
Are you asking them this, and if so, with who?

>>21693001
"As well as they can be, with how hard they work," Sylph answers cheerfully. "I tried to sell them some vacation packages, but they refused. It's a shame, I hear Sylvarant is beautiful this time of year."

>>21693129
Oh, I hear that's a wonderful world. How's it been lately. It'd be a shame if it was damaged by the STOB.

Oh, and I know this may be an odd question. Do you happen to have X and Zero's autographs? I'm a fan of their work.

>>21693129
>Ryoko's kids
I think we should think a little more on the recruitment pitch, and what restrictions to deployment we'll accept.

But having Elaine be the one to recruit them seems an obvious choice, given how they seem to follow her around. I suppose we could also have Aeshma talk with them, see if its them looking at Elaine as the mother-figure they never had.

File: 1353552320233.gif-(20 KB, 256x256, 811.gif)

>>21693171
"Of course! 1000G, please."

>>21693291
Do you take diamonds? I can go grab a handful or two.

>>21693129
"Everyone who ordered clothes from Sylph, she's in the hangar bay. Report there for your fittings please."

"Well, it's good that you're on the trail. We're sure you'll have it done in no time. Uhm, by the way.. I didn't get to ask last time, but do you think you could point out Shin-Ra's coordinates for us? We were wanting to stop by and properly introduce ourselves; maybe drop off some goodies to help or something. Not that we're trying to step on your toes, of course."

I prefer the non-grimdark 'youkai nomming anything that steps foot outside the Human Village' Gensokyo for my vacations, myself. It's nice and open; great for hiking.

>>21693252
As far as Ryoko's kids? I think more than just Elaine would be a good idea female-wise. Slowly introduce men into the rotation, I think. Data might be a reasonable starting point for that. He's male anatomically, but not technically a 'man' by the standards they're probably applying. We should keep Spike away from them though. Might be a bit much in one go.

I'd like to ask them, and let's say they can start with a few teams of their own, and the others can guard the white mages. However, we would ask them to each begin therapy to get over their aversion to men.

>>21693308

I'm not entirely sure if exposing children to battlefield conditions is necessarily the bet way to have them develop healthy personalities. How old are they, anyway?

>>21693345
I didn't say expose them to battlefield conditions. I said expose them to females other than Elaine and then slowly work men into the rotation of people they meet. Standard acclimation therapy stuff.

Seriously.

>>21693345
Are you talking chronologically, physically, or mentally?
Chronologically, they're probably anywhere from 1 to 3 years old.
Physically and mentally, 20-25.

They were vat-matured and flash-programmed with their personalities, after all.

>>21693308
"Sorry, I've made a promise not to reveal that information..." she sighs. "Not even if I was offered payment..."

The small crowd of people whom you have ordered new clothes for shuffle into the cargo bay. Most seem a little impatient or bored, but Cheryl seems decidedly ill at ease, as if expecting something terrible.

"Right!" Sylph says, cheerfully. "Who's first?"

>>21693433
Exactly. They're virtually adults.

>>21693475
I suppose we could have the males go first. That way we'll all be out of here by the time the ladies try on their outfits.

Tosh, Douglas, Egon, Spike, Star-Lord, Mustadio, Vitun, Ryu, Finalon for the beginning order.

Unfortunately, the Avatar will have to wait till he gets back.

>>21693503
That sounds okay. Cheryl will be more comfortable that way. I hope the Avatar is alright, he was a great guy.

>>21693545
Oh, and the women might want to change IN Sylphie's shop. There's sure to be some camera's around here.

Oh, there's one over in the corner.

>>21693567
Gods damnit, who keeps putting these things up where they're not needed? Somebody shut this one off until Sylph's business is done here.

>>21693598
Well, that'd help explain why Cheryl's nervous. She can probably feel someone staring lustfully at her from afar.

Or someones staring lustfully from a security room. I know exactly what they're up to, and I disapprove.
>Stares off at hidden camera disguised by equipment.

>>21693503
"Well... Have him try this on when he gets back," Sylph says, ducking into her shop and bringing out a brilliant suit of silvery chainmail with a few pieces of plate added for extra protection. Diamonds and sapphires are embedded into the extremely fine mail, and it is accompanied by a white tabard embroidered with a golden ankh at the center. Runes are embroidered along the edges of the tabard with a shimmering blue cloth, and the shoulder-plates are stylized to look like swept-back wings.

"Ah, one at a time, please. Egon! Why don't you come here, please?"

"I don't understand why you're so afraid. They're just clothes," Lyla whispers to Cheryl. She continues to look at the shop.

"Oh, you'll see. You'll see."

>>21693677
"Oh come on, Cheryl. It's not like Morrigan would have been the one to provide the design for your clothes.
"You...did, fill out the order form with what you wanted it to look like, right? And not checked the 'default' box?"

>>21693291
>>21693308
Seconded for sending Elaine to Gensokyo. Look for one version with the highest tourist density.

Judging by the popularity of Touhou I'm sure it's canons and fanons are numerous enough to be a minisector, or even a canon or a hub converted solely for tourism.

>>21693677
Beautiful work, Sylph. And look at that detail! Simply stunning, truly. Thank you for your hard work and what I hope is the beginnings of a true friendship.

File: 1353554708206.jpg-(19 KB, 230x346, IthinkitwasoneoftheFettucinis.jpg)

>>21693677
A few minutes later, Egon emerges from the shop in a masterfully woven toga of some sort of reddish silk. His spectacles are gone, though his deadpan expression isn't, and elaborate sandals now cover his feet.

"I fail to see the advantage of this new garb," he states, bluntly. "It covers less than my jumpsuit, and the flowing folds of the toga may make movement difficult. It also has less carrying capacity due to the lack of pockets. And it looks... out of place."

"Ah ah ah!" Sylph says, wagging her finger. "There is an enchantment on the toga so that anything you put into the folds you can pull out again by thinking about it, effectively giving you the same 'pocket space' as a small cart. In addition, there is an enchantment to provide you with a stable atmosphere maintained at a pleasant temperature, even in the middle of deadly poison gas or vacuum. Not to mention the fabric is far more resilient and redirects etheric energy to your head, enabling faster and greater clarity of cognition!"

"...I see," Egon says, looking down at himself. "Hmmm. Those factors outweigh the look. I'm satisfied."

Sylph blinks, looking puzzled. "I thought you liked togas?"

"What gave you that idea?"

"I could swear I saw you wearing one in a picture... Oh well. If you're happy, that's what matters."

>>21693766
Dohohoho!

File: 1353555181926.gif-(18 KB, 256x256, 805.gif)

>>21693766
Lyla and Elaine, to either side of Cheryl, wince in unison.

"Oh my," Elaine says.

"Well... it might not be that bad, I think I'd look OK in a toga..." Lyla says. "We wear robes anyway."

Cheryl shakes her head, slowly. "You'll see."

"Perhaps it is best to get it over with," Darius rumbles, stepping forward. "Shopkeep! I will be next."

"Oh, Captain Darius, I've been meaning to say," Sylph says with a warm smile. "I need you to go get your power armor for yours. You don't need to put it on, but you'll need it for the fitting?"

"What? What do you have in mind?" Darius asks, looking a little confused.

"Don't want to spoil the surprise!" Sylph says, sweetly. "Now go get it! I'll need another volunteer while you do..."

Ryu suddenly stumbles forward, bravely volunteering... or being pushed. The ninja shoots a furious glare behind him as Spike whistles innocently.

"Ah, good! Come on, Ryu, I think you'll like this!" Sylph says with a big smile as she grabs the ninja by the wrist and drags him inside the SHOP.

>>21693766
What a bizarre result of fanart. I hope no one has a less fortunate result.

>>21693896

The painting? That was actually in Ghostbusters 2, after they kill Viggo that's what it turns into.

>>21693912
Oh wow. I did not know that. Well, I'm sure it won't impede him. Plus I like that energy diversion. It'll probably increase his research ability.

>>21693852
A few minutes later, Ryu exits the shop wearing a dark blue, almost black shinobi shōzoku made out of some form of silk. Several polished onyxes are set into the outfit, and a headpiece of some dark metal is worked into the hood to provide additional protection for Ryu's head. Ryu moves around in it experimentally.

"...sufficient," he states, nodding to Sylph. "Satisfied."

"Oh great, he's turning into Fujin," Spike whispers. Ryu shoots him a death glare, then offers a short bow to Sylph.

"I am pleasantly surprised by your work," he says. "Thank you."

"No, thank you for your business!" Sylph says, cheerily. "Next!"

On returning to the ranks, Ryu deftly catches Spike's leg with his foot and his back with his hands, propelling the bounty hunter forward. Spike loses his balance temporarily and half-jumps in front of Sylph, windmilling his arms.

"Eager, aren't we?" Sylph says, blatantly ignoring the obvious as she clamps down on his wrist. "Come along, then!"

"Oh boy. This is gonna get worse before it gets better..." Spike mumbles as he gets dragged into the SHOP.

>>21693852
You'd look great in anything Lyla...
Gyah, i mean.
SayCherylhowboutthatmoonmagicstaff, Oh right forgot, Need to go catalog, the robot army, secuitron replacements... before spike impresses everyone.

>>
I offer him a subtle high five as he walks past.

>>21693980

It's good to know that Sylph is at least keeping things tasteful. So far, that is.

File: 1353556969632.jpg-(194 KB, 986x655, thatsnotspikefuckitcloseenough.jpg)

>>21693980
Spike emerges in a well-fit, expertly tailored dark blue three piece suit, complete with fedora, gloves, pocket-watch and platinum cufflinks.

"All right, I admit," he says, tugging the gloves on tighter. "Not what I expected, but pretty damn nice. I like it. I like it a lot."

"And remember, you only get Haste if you wind the watch right. Wind it wrong, and you'll Slow yourself," Sylph states. "And be sure not to flick the cufflinks unless you need that field. The charge on it drains fast."

"Wow!" Elaine comments. "He cleans up nice. Don't you th- Lyla?"

"Hmm? Oh. Nothing," Lyla says, tearing her gaze off Spike and shaking her head. "Nothing! Anyway, that's not bad at all, see? You're worrying over nothing!"

"Some escape the doom," Cheryl mutters, bitterly.

"Next!" Sylph calls out.

>>21694252
Vitun, go have her embroider it into your armor or whatever she'd going to do.

>>21694252
>Wow, so we didnt actually fight a Sued out Asha clan-clan yet? lucky us.

>>21694170
"Yeah, I guess I would..." Lyla murmurs.

"It's not going to be so bad, Cheryl. See, I'll go next," Douglas whispers, reassuringly to Cheryl. He then steps forward and Sylph guides him into the SHOP. A few minute pass. Then a few more. Then Douglas exits the shop in a deep red and grey suit with gold thread, looking mostly normal except for the white ruffles around his neck. Sylph is beside him, listening to him as he talks.

"Look, it's not that I don't like the suit, the suit is very well made, and it fits perfectly, it's just..." Douglas struggles for the words. "...who wears ruffles? Who?!"

"Mr. Cartland, I'll have you know I consulted with a friend of mine who deals with detectives all the time to make this," Sylph replies, defensively. "He says that ruffles are the height of modern fashion!"

Sylph crosses her arms, primly. "I can remove it if you really want to, but you'll lose the enchantments keyed to it. Namely the one that maintains your temperature and provides air."

Douglas winces. "Well... It ain't that bad... I guess."

"Oh no," Star-Lord says, holding back chuckles. "Looks great."

"Glad to hear it, Mr. Quill!" Sylph says, brightly. "You're next!"

Star-Lord winces, then shrugs. "Eh... I'm sure you can't do worse than some of the costumes I've seen. All right, lay it on me!"

With that, the two vanish into the SHOP.

>>21694252
Don't worry Cheryl, I'm sure yours will be tasteful as well. If you're not happy with it, I'll assign a hologram emitter to you so you can choose your appearance.

File: 1353557799761.jpg-(146 KB, 572x868, GuardiansOfTheGalaxy1cov_02.jpg)

>>21694408
Don't worry Mr. Quill, it can't be worse than what you'll be wearing when you go back to your home canon.

>>21694408
Makes me think that we'll have to arrange something for Seifer and Fujin in terms of protection and general utility.

>>21694454
Is the Iron man on the bottom supposed to look like one of those "Praise the Sun!" guys? Cause of his chest emblem.

>>21694517
He looks like Captain Britian

File: 1353558592329.jpg-(101 KB, 505x768, seemsfamiliar.jpg)

>>21694408
A few minutes later, Star-Lord exits wearing something that looks like a Mass Effect hardsuit.

"No, I like it, I'm just confused as to why everyone else gets magical clothes and mine is technology based," Star-Lord says.

"Oh, it's magic, don't worry about that," Sylph says. "It just has the technology along with it."

"But why the sudden cha-"

"Now, now, I have my reasons," Sylph says, sweetly. "The important thing is, do you like it?"

"...yeah, I do. Feels just about as good as my old uniform, honestly."

"Then thank you for your patronage!" Sylph smiles. "Be sure to contact me if it doesn't work out, all of these have a limited warranty! Anyway, next!"

>>21694613
Darius get back with his power armor yet?

>>21694613
I'm interested to see what Tosh will look like, magical or technological.

>>21694613
We see if Tosh is ready to see what he gets.

Also, keep that Kree battlesuit; the big advantage of it is that it shows up as primitive and not worth assimilating on most tech scanners. We might still need it, especially against the Void Engineers.

>>21694454
>>21694613
...Well never mind.

File: 1353559385248.jpg-(59 KB, 463x900, Icantseeadamnthing.jpg)

>>21694613
"Spirits say it be my time," Tosh says as he steps forward, in his encounter suit as always. Sylph nods and smiles, gesturing. Moments later, Tosh emerges still in his encounter suit... except that over it has been placed an outfit made of red leather lined with fur, festooned with many carved bones, skulls, and fetishes. Asymmetrical designs crawl over the outfit, inscribed into the leather with some sort of ink that seems perpetually wet as a horned helm with no visible eyepieces fits over Tosh's head.

Lyla shakes her head.

"Sheesh... just when I thought he couldn't get any creepier..." she whispers to Cheryl. She winces.

"He's not THAT bad..." she murmurs back.

"Dis be a goot fit, Miss Sylphie. I and I be thankin' ya," Tosh says, effecting a sort of bow that causes the many bones of his outfit to clatter softly.

"Remember, if you need stealth, your cloak should generate a silence field too now, to stop all that clatter," Sylph says, raising a hand. "I'm glad you like it, though, I had a hard time figuring out how to work it into your suit design."

Tosh nods again and moves back to the ranks.

"OK, why don't we try something a little different to speed things up? I'd like to try out a magic device I got recently!" Sylph says. "Should dress you in an instant! Volunteers?"

There is a silence among the crowd for a moment, then Finalon steps forward.

"I fear not magic," he states. "And I wish to return to my practice. Please, Lady Sylph. Proceed."

>>21694808
I recognize that style! Sylph, when did you visit Tyria? It's one of my favorite canons.

>>21694808
...I fear for poor Finalon. How bravely he faces his doom.

>>21694892
Hey, maybe he'll get Krytan Ranger armor. That stuff looks awesome.

File: 1353560308590.gif-(21 KB, 256x256, 810.gif)

>>21694890
"Oh, just once or twice," Sylph says, smiling. "It's out of my way, but an occasional visits lets me net a great profit."

>>21694808
"Henshin!" Sylph calls out, raising a small ivory wand up. Ribbons of energy envelop Finalon, and in an instant withdraw, leaving him with his long hair done up, long, golden earrings dangling from his ears, makeup delicately applied on his face as his garb is replaced by a glittering golden dress and...

"AAAAAAAH!!!" Finalon shouts in horror as he feels himself with his hands to survey the damage. "This... This isn't man's garb! This isn't man's garb at all!"

"You're a man?!" Sylph says in shock, putting a hand to her mouth.

Howls of laughter erupt from those assembled, Mouse actually falling from a hiding spot along the cargobay's walls to roll on the floor, laughing so hard he gasps for breath as he clutches his sides.

>>21694808

I wonder how much miss slyph charges for normal tailoring.
