INFLUENCE: http://pastebin.com/Ytf7vs7U

You are the PRODUCER, a former soldier hired to manage a group of teenage girls on their rise to stardom, assuming they don't get killed in the process!

However, to start off, in order to put the other girls more on par with Cole, they each have their own unique skill trees now!

Rin has the STAGE ACTOR skill tree, which help ensure her performances go off without a hitch!

Rochelle has GUNPLAY, which increases her effectiveness with certain weapons.

Julie has LAW AND ORDER, which you'll actually have to choose one of three paths to follow, more on this later!

As for your payment, you have received 3000 credits! With an upkeep up 1800 credits, you now have a total treasury of 3300 credits!

But first, let's figure out what Rin's new skill will be!

>HELPING HAND: During a performance, one idol can replace her singing and dancing skills with Rin's. This can only be done once per performance.
>METHOD ACTING: Increases the rate at which Rin accumulates skill points.
>PLAY THE CROWD: At the end of a successful performance, Rin has a chance of earning a STAR POWER point.
>>
>>30423861
>>METHOD ACTING
>>
Rolled 46, 75, 72 + 23 = 216

>>30423861
Having Rin boost the appeal of the other idols on stage will be handy--as important as beating up thugs is, if Rin is the only idol of ours who can sing and dance it'll make us rather easy to sabotage.

So...

>HELPING HAND

>>30423861
>METHOD ACTING
more skill points, the better!

Merc can helping hand be used after the rolls have been made?

Or does it need to be declared before?
>>
>>30424057
It can be used after rolls.

So it can be a short of crutch if we roll terribly, thanks.

You know if Cole really wanted to, she could go rogue. With her Biosensor which can detect threats, she is an AWACS; and she can jam wireless comms with her Signal Jammer ability (that's not even taking into account other signals that may or may not be affected such as those used by missiles to lock onto targets), effectively having an ECM or ESM defence system depending on how it works.

Yeah, Cole is stupidly overpowered compared to the other girls, which is awesome and the reason of the rebalance. In story, it can be that the other girls feel they need to catch up to Cole.

Now for Rochelle...

>STICKY FINGERS: Rochelle is immune to any attempts to forcibly disarm her.

>SUPPRESSING FIRE: Forces an enemy or group of enemies to take a morale check or be temporarily pinned or routed.

Shes our tactical commander so...

If anyone is in trouble or we need to retreat, we can have her use her ability.

>DOUBLE TAP: Once per thread, Rochelle can reroll a missed shot. This can be used against nat 1s.
hot damn! beat a nat 1? as if the other choices could beat this.
>>
>>30424135
Of course she could, which is a very good reason to treat her well.

>>30424179
In story? Yeah, kinda. But mechanics wise she's not that awesome.
>>
>>30424180
>SUPPRESSING FIRE: Forces an enemy or group of enemies to take a morale check or be temporarily pinned or routed.

>>30424135
So long as we give Cole a sense of belonging WITHOUT jeopardizing her perceived independence, I don't think she'll ever go rogue.

But that means no helicopter parenting.
>>
>>30424180
>DOUBLE TAP: Once per thread, Rochelle can reroll a missed shot. This can be used against nat 1s.

Sorry, mechanics wise this is the best option hands down.
>>
>>30424240

Maybe we should tell them a story during Producer's military career (Vietnam 2, Persian Gulf, etc.) about why he can't trust strangers or why he needs a sense of control. (Don't go into too many details, keep it generalized as this is something he may still regret to this day)
>>
>>30423861
>>>HELPING HAND: During a performance, one idol can replace her singing and dancing skills with Rin's. This can only be done once per performance.
its always stupid to get abilities that speed up progress its usually a waste of a skill.
>>
>>30424272
All I meant was that so long as Cole thinks being apart of the group adds something without taking away anything, she won't go rogue.

She already has a sense of belonging. Don't mess that up by spying on her or being "that dad."
>>
>>30424240
Know what, we should check with Lilith on advice on how to be a concerned parent I mean producer without intruding on her privacy.

Also, anyone else having issues with twitter?

And finally, we come to Julie! Julie is a bit different, since there's three specific paths he can follow...

SERVE THE PUBLIC TRUST: Gives skill that help increase her appeal.
PROTECT THE INNOCENT: Gives her more defensive skills.
UPHOLD THE LAW: Gives her more offensive skills.

Gotta agree with you there. From what I remember last thread the 2 most popular options were a Doctor or another combat trainer to supplement us.

Julie has decided to PROTECT THE INNOCENT.

>HUMAN SHIELD: If possible, Julie can automatically intercept an attack meant for another idol, taking the damage herself instead.
>SHIELD WALL: If equipped with a shield, can plant it down on the ground and takes significantly reduced damage from the front. However, she cannot move as long as this skill is active.
>BUILT TOUGH: Once per thread, Julie can reroll a failed toughness test or saving throw.
>>
>>30424649
The argument for another combat trainer was that Producer's time is very limited and we could use someone teaching the girls combat skills full time.

Also Falynn could make a competent data base controller/hacker.

Now with that out of the way back to our regularly scheduled quest!

---

You were now kind of regretting agreeing to go out to dinner with Jenner. Not because you didn't like her or anything, but you were just so goddamn TIRED all of a sudden, and all you did was just observe and give some orders to your girls! However, they were all now safely squared away at the office, and Jenner was even kind enough to drop Rin off directly at her home.

"So, you have any ideas where to go?" Jenner asks. "I don't really mind. Anything would do."

"Well, I kinda have a mind for some mindless junk food, if you're okay with that."

"I was sort of hoping you'd say that." Jenner grins. "I know this really great BBQ place. Open all night, too."

With that, Jenner slams her foot down on the accelerator and you hold on as the car zooms off down the freeway. Finally, much to your relief, the car begins to slow as Jenner pulls up to a rather modest looking building.

SMOKEY JOE'S BBQ SHACK

How quaint.

Despite the hour, there were still a fair bit of patrons in the restaurant. However, you and Jenner are guided to a somewhat secluded booth near the back, away from the other patrons. Well, you didn't mind the privacy it offered.

"What would you like, hon?" The waitress asks. You note that it's an actual flesh and blood human, rather than the robots most other restaurants have started adopted these days.

"Just the usual." Jenner nods. "Same for him."

"Okay! It'll be right out!" The waitress grins before skipping off back to the kitchen.

"It's real meat, right? None of that vat grown crap."

"Of course not!" She laughs. "I don't think ANYBODY likes that stuff."

With that, your food arrives, and your eyes widen in disbelief. She was right in that there was a little bit of everything. You swear to god there was a entire pig's worth of pork ribs, a cow's worth of tri tips, a couple of chickens, a bowl of sausage links, and a whooooole lot more.

You sort of understand why this place gets people at all hours, now.

"Well, dig in." Jenner says as she spears a few tri tips with her fork.

Dont invest what you'll need immediately (1 years of expenditure). We need to purchase stuff and a op might go ploinshaped.

Also we can find a doc from outside in a pinch but a hacker from outside is far less likely to be loyal to us.

She works with KZ-wolf programing pretty well. Besides, hacking hasn't been a problem for us so far. Injured idols, on the other hand...

>>30426087
Hacking is not a good substitute for proper data management skills.

It is one thing to hack/crack systems and provide up-to-the-second electronic surveillance using high-end military systems.

But predicting social trends and controlling dynamic advertising and marketing programs to suit a rapidly-evolving consumer market is difficult stuff.

Honestly, that sounds like exactly what we're doing ourselves already. Sure, a specialist would help, but given our current financial situation we can afford to be creating redundancy.

"You know, Jenner," You say, cleaning off a rib, "you know how you notice a lot of little things when you observe somebody closely?"

"Yes? Jenner blinks.

"Well, I was sort of wondering, which unit you were in." You say nonchalantly.

"W-what?" Jenner coughs as she nearly inhales her drink. "What makes you think that?"

"Please, Jenner, you think you could fool another army vet like me?" You laugh lightly. "I can tell from the way you move around, the way you react to unexpected events. Slow, methodical, careful. That's the sort of stuff that gets drilled into you in military training, and it's not stuff you easily forget. I should know."

"I suppose I should've expected you to eventually figure it out." Jenner sighs. "And I wasn't actually in the military. DEA, actually."

"Well, why'd you keep it a secret?" You ask.

"Well, let's just say a lot of my work concerning the DEA was... top secret. Honestly, it was just a lot easier pretending I never worked for them in the first place." Jenner sighs and leans back in her seat. "A lot of the work we did was either undercover or black. Even now most of it is still classified."

"It's fine, you don't have to tell me anything." You sigh, leaning back as well. "I've done my share of classified shit as well."

"Yeah, well, it doesn't feel right not telling you ANYTHING." Jenner sighs. "In the broadest sense, I was part of a heavy assault unit. Our job was to find cartel hideouts kick down the door, and burn the whole fucking place to the ground."

"This... doesn't have anything to do with your brother, does it?" You raise an eyebrow.

Jenner is quiet for a very long time.

"When I told the Boss about my brother, he was the one who helped get me set up with the DEA."

"Really?" You gasp. Just who the hell is the Boss?

"I don't know, but I didn't ask questions at the time. I was too angry." Jenner sighs and takes another pull from her bottle. "We systematically cleared out every cartel stronghold in Mexico, right before it got annexed."

"Holy shit." You blink. "I was part of that, We might have actually crossed paths at some point back then."

"Now wouldn't that be something." Jenner laughs lightly.

"Well, I suppose I should trade a story for a story..." You say.

"Well, you remember when I told you I took part in the Annexation? Well, you of all people should know that the pretense for the annexation was to put a stop to the flow of drugs into the US. By the time we waltzed in, the Mexicans were either surrendering en masse or actually celebrating our arrival."

"Yes, I saw the news broadcasts." Jenner nods.

"Well, it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. Whatever you and the DEA were doing to the cartels, you didn't get them all. There were still a couple about and kicking, and they had enough cash on hand to hire their personal armies, which is exactly what they did." You sigh. "So, me and my unit sent into recon one of their strongholds. Turns out, we the cartel hired some world class sniper to guard them. The guy ambushed us, and we were basically pinned down. Fucker was so good he kept shooting down all the recon drones we were sending out to try and find him."

"What did you do?" Jenner blinks, completely entranced by the story.

"Well, we would've been scared of him, if out CO wasn't fifty times scarier." You grin and shake your head. "She was one of the first military full body military cyborgs, and she knew how to put her augs to good use. She puts me on counter sniper duty since I'm the best shot, and she just blitzes through the ruins to draw the sniper out. He takes a few shots, I guess because he didn't realize she was a cyborg. She takes the hits and keeps on trucking, and I get a bead on his location. I don't have a clear shot, so, with three bullet in her chest, my CO just sprints over, breaks into his hideout, and beat him to death with his own rifle! We keep what's left of it in our barracks as a trophy."

"Jesus." Jenner blinks. "I heard combat cyborg were monsters..."

"Yeah, our CO was a league above them. You actually remind me of her a lot. Always really dour and serious all the time."

"I am NOT dour and serious all the time!" Jenner pouts.

"You totally are!" You laugh.

"So, where is this mythical CO of yours now?"

"No clue. She stayed in the Army and I mustered out. Sort of lost contact with her after that."

"Hm, yes it was." Jenner nods. "Better get some rest. We have a lot to do tomorrow."

"We ALWAYS have a lot to do tomorrow." You sigh.

"Well that's because entertainment is a very demanding profession!" Jenner tuts.

With that, the both of you pay your bill and leave. Jenner is kind enough to drop you off at your apartment.

"Well, Producer I... had a good time." Jenner smiles. "We should do it again sometime."

"Yeah, we should." You grin and nod.

Jenner then drives off, her car disappearing into the darkness. You just yawn, enter your apartment, and fall asleep.

You return to the office in the morning, bright and early. Of course, Jenner somehow got there before you did again. You sort of wonder if she doesn't actually just live in the office all the time.

"Morning, Jenner."

"Morning, Producer."

"Yes she did." Jenner nods. "She's already making herself at home in the workshop.

Jesus, how does everybody get here before you do?

"Excellent, I'll go check up on her then." You say.

Walking into the workshop, you can see your little engineer simply ogling at the all the equipment sitting around, like a kid in a candy store. It was kinda cute, actually.

"Like what you see?" You grin.

"Oh, Producer! I didn't notice you there!" Falynn gasps and grins. "But yeah! This stuff is light years ahead of what was in the school! I could build some serious shit here!"

"Really?" You grin.

"Well, yeah." Falynn nods. "I also saw your armory and your existing inventory. Kinda sparse, but I think I can work with it. What I can do is upgrade any of your existing stuff, or fabricate custom gear for you. Of course, it's all gonna cost money. I gotta get the right parts and all, you know.

If there's one thing I've come to hate in these threads, it's their total disregard for doing anything risk bearing. Every decision is a careful calculation designed to minimize risk and maximize profit. An accountant is the safe, boring choice that lets you tick off that little box on your checklist and move on. There's no originality or fun, just cold equations. It makes me wonder about the future of this quest. Always taking the safe, easy way out. What sort of life is that?

"Yeah, I can't say anything against that." You grin as you shake your head. "But I'm pretty sure you'd fit right in with them."

"As long as they don't mess with my stuff we should be fine." Falynn nods. "Oh yeah, that reminds me! If you want me to show off your skills, I can soup up something of yours free of cost! Just this one time!"

We're still low intensity as far as combat. The head doctor is important in the early stages because things are changing rapidly and the girls are dealing with some shit that is entirely new to them. As injury becomes more likely and the girls get more used to their positions, the real doctor becomes more important.

Do we... do we pick from this list?

EW Package looks like a good general choice, nice way to safeguard K-Zwolf from one possible threat and to help making him much more useful in a support role.

Mag shield seems... situational. It really depends on how strong the field is and how long K-Zwolf can project it for.

Synthetic muscle is pretty useful general upgrade, but it doesn't really add anything new to the chassis. Would be nice to pick this up as an upgrade at any point.

If there ever was a moment in this quest, it was when we decided to not take a driver as one of our first hires. It was going to be great. All our girls would have super driving skills and our sponsors would be all car companies. I feel like 70% of the thread voted for it, but I'm biased. After that failed the fun went away, never to return.

Maybe I'm just an old man stuck in his ways. But we have lost something, even if some think it was worthless in the first place.

Ah well. I leave you to your calculations gentlemen.

"The EW Package looks good." You say as you look at the list.

"Cool! I'll get started putting it together right away then!" Falynn nods. "I think I can get it ready and installed within the day!"

You nod and leave Falynn to her work. You exit the workshop, considering what to do next.

Ah, I see. You're trying to rationalize not getting your way and guilt trip the other players with the conclusion that the rest of the thread can't into fun.
>>
>>30429035
>>Check on your idols.

Always first as they're the money makers.

>>30429036
correct, unlike SWQ, this is more in line with a normal /tg/ quest.

Not really. There was never really a chance for it at really. Because in the end this is a management quest. Management and crazy fun are incompatible. One had to go, and crazy fun was it.
>>
>>30429162
Dude you can go and imagine grand adventures with race queen idols but if you stop and think about it there's no way you'd pull it off as a nobody. Sponsors? Hah. Super driving skills? From where? There wasn't even a car.

Starting from scratch is always "boring", because you can't /afford/ the fun stuff.
>>
>>30429162
Then I fail to see why you are looking for your brand of fun in a place where you admittedly realize it doesn't fit.

You head up to the dorms, where you see your idols already assembled in the rec room, just watching the morning news as they waste the morning away.

"Morning, girls." You say.

"Morning, Producer!" They all greet you.

"Hey, good job at last night's performance." You grin. "I'm really proud of all of you."

"Aw, it was nothing!" Julie chortles.

"It was just nice being on stage!" Rochelle beams.

"I think my heart stopped when they started asking for an encore!" Rin nods. "It... it felt so good!"

"And I beat up a bunch of guys, so I guess everybody won!" Cole adds in, massaging her knuckles. They were probably sore as hell, you guessed.

"So what do you think about our new engineer? Falynn? She's about your ages." You say.

"She's real nice." Rochelle grins as she strokes K-Zwolf's head. "K-Zwolf here seems to really like her. Plus, she managed to fix my old PS1! There aren't many people who know what a CD drive is, much less how it works!"

"Nice enough, but I'm not a big fan of all that technical stuff. Just give me a good, sturdy stick and I'm good." Julie says.

"She's nice. A bit odd, but I can tell she really loves what she does." Rin smiles.

"She kicked me out of the workshop for no reason." Cole grumbles. "She's kinda a bitch."

"Cole..." You frown. "What did you do?"

"Why do you assume-"

"What did you do?" You say, without breaking your stare.

"I might have.... pranked her by shorting out one of her inventions..." Cole says as she looks away.

"Well, I'd kick your ass too if you messed with my stuff. I'm sure you'd do the same if it was your stuff on the line." You grunt.

"Whatever."

You sigh and check their schedule.

She should at least qualify with a sidearm and learn basic combatives.

Escape and evasive techniques would also be good. Getting out of handcuffs and opening locked doors is useful.
>>
>>30429281
More of the latter and less of the former.

Her job is not to fight and she should not be taking those kinds of jobs but knowing the latter is good
>>
>>30429281
We can just fall back on the Harbinger in case of an emergency and in any situation where that's not an option or doesn't help she'd be screwed anyway.
>>
>>30429281
Her #1 priority if stuck in a combat situation is getting the hell out of dodge.
>>
>>30429290
It isn't so much taking those kinds of jobs but the ever present kidnapping risk.

After you shim your cuffs and use your specially designed hairpins to pick the door you still need to be able to knock out the guard and then use his gun to get clear of the structure before calling in to HQ.

>>30429307
Harbinger sux and I would prefer not to rely on it.
>>
>>30429205
If the GM allows it you can. I'm guessing fudging the vote a little was Merc's silent way of saying no. But it's his quest, he can run it how he likes.

>>30429209
>>30429216
I just wanted the rest of the quest to acknowledge that there won't be any crazy, out of the box fun here. All stat sheets and numbers. Because I had thought it was something different.
>>
>>30429324
>Harbinger sux
How so?
And we have been using it every time the idols went to fight.
>>
>>30429341
um...
>>
>>30429341

I believe he means Harbinger's remote direct control system.

That we dont want to use unless one of our girls is in dire danger.
>>
>>30429341
I think he meant the DIRECT CONTROL feature.
>>
>>30429235
You decide to give them a more balanced schedule this time. At this point, their skillsets were starting to even out so you didn't have to power them through any sort of specific training. You also decide to have Rin included in some of the combat classes. Just enough so that she could learn some basic self defense. However, you didn't want to take away too much time from her performance practices.

Checking your watch, you realize you should probably be going to schedule the next job.

"All right, girls. I'm posting the new schedule. Be sure to follow it, okay?"

"Okay, Producer!"

You head back to your office, where of course, Jenner is waiting for you.

"Ah, you're finally back." Jenner says. "Marc has been calling nonstop all morning. Apparently he's in quite the uproar over something."

"All right, route the call." You sigh.

"Producer!" You hear Marc's voice ring in your ear. "How have you been doing?"

"We're doing fine so far." You say. "What's up?"

"Well, you remember that job offer I gave you a few days ago concerning a weapon theft?"

"Yes, I do."

"Well, I REALLY need those guns back. I'm willing to bump up my price to $4000!"

"Hmmmm, what aren't you telling me?" You ask suspiciously.

"Well.... the guns are under heavier security now." Marc sighs. "I hired a bunch of mercs to try and get the guns back, but they failed. At least I won't have to pay them!"

"Wonderful." You sigh.

"How about this, you can take the money, or you can take you pick from the loot you recover! Your choice! How about it?" Marc asks.

Boy, he really does sound a little desperate. You're guessing he promised somebody a big order and he needs to deliver.

Speaking of, there was an idea a few threads ago to setup Direct Control to work with Z-wolf - so we have body we can jump into if we need to, WITHOUT compromising anyone's morals.
Just need a bit of training to get acclimatized

Marc owing us a big favor is not an unattractive one.

Guess we're gonna have to kit out K-Zwolf with the Heavy Support Package then.

"Hmmmm, I guess I can lend you an underslung grenade launcher for your M55, with a few shells for it." Marc says. "But I expect to see it in one piece!"

"Of course." You nod.

"I'll e-mail you the details. Just make sure you get those guns back, all right!? I hear they'll be moved out in a few days, so you'll have to hurry!"

"Got it, Marc." You then hang up the phone and turn to Jenner. "What's the policy on taking side jobs like this?"

"It's actually fairly common." Jenner shrugs. "Most people don't have the money to hire private security, and mercs are only as good as the amount of money you pay them for. Idol companies meet a sort of niche where it provides quality combat assistance to folks who don't have deep pockets. It's almost like a community service, of sorts. Usually, it will net you rewards like what's going on with Marc. It's also a good way to increase your influence in zones without having to arrange performances."

"I see." You nod.

Well, you suppose you should get ready. This was going to be your idols' first true combat mission, and you needed to make sure they would be prepared for anything.

Thanks for the thread.


Food for thought to the general public: Next time we're looking to expand our roster, acquire an Idol who can into stealth ops, so 100% of our tactical espionage action needs aren't being handled exclusively by K-Zwolf (since I think we'd all like to see him in a different loadout at some point, but he's just so damn good at stealth and we don't have anything else for that). Good idea?
>>
>>30429840
Not really, though I'm interested in keeping it to stealh or heavy support
>>
>>30429863
Care to explain why you don't think it's a good idea?
>>
>>30429873
I rather focus on support, and getting the facilities up and running first.

Also since we're dealing with armed units, we can either have more fire power or have K-Wolf take them out

also with the new Electronic warfare and Cole's new ajmmer, we can take out their communications
>>
>>30429897
>I rather focus on support, and getting the facilities up and running first.
I was specifically referring to when we're looking to add more Idols, not that we should prioritize that over hiring support staff.
>>
>>30429902
probably when we get the important parts such as facilities finsihed
