You decide that it would be better to start the training now. At least there would be time that your girls would be able to apply at least some of it to the Expo when it came. You pick up your phone and dial up the Captain.

"Captain, I've decided that we should start up the new training regimen now. I want to get at least some of it in before the Expo starts."

"Got it." The Captain replies. "I can do physical training easily, but I'll only be able to fit in one specialized course in that timeframe. What do you want done first?"

"Teamwork exercises will do." You say. "Can't have an effective squad if they don't know how to work together, right?"

"Indeed." The Captain nods.

>All idols have gained or ranked up in the TEAMWORK skill! This means that idols working in concert to complete a single task will have their chances of success significantly improved. This also allows idols with TEAMWORK to temporarily assume the role of an incapacitated idol that also has TEAMWORK, though at a slightly reduced effectiveness.

"So, I suspect it's all those trust exercises and stuff?"

"And lots of weapon familiarization." The Captain says. "That also means I"m implementing the 'collective punishment' doctrine."

You wince. "Collective punishment" meant that if one member of the squad fucked up something, the ENTIRE squad was punished as well.You remember one time in boot when one of the drill instructors found an unsecured weapon and there was hell to pay. The entire barracks ended up having to disassemble and service EVERY weapon in the armory.

It was not a fun time. Your idols were in for a rough time.

"Oh, do I sense that you want to go easy on her?" You raise an eyebrow.

"She's only human." The Captain shrugs. "And by that, I mean still mostly organic. Are you sure she'd want this?"

You think back to pretty much everything you've been able to gather from your conversations and interactions with Rochelle. She was smart, driven, and dedicated, with a clear goal in mind.

"She wants to be the best, Captain. The very least we can do is give her the opportunity to be." You say simply and firmly. "She has what it takes. I know it."

The Captain seems slightly taken aback by your confidence, but gives a slight grin.

"All right, Producer, if you say so. She'll be getting the real deal, but it's going to be risky."

"How risky are talking about?"

"Well, it's pretty much guaranteed she's going to take some serious hits." The Captain sighs. "But from what I saw, you've got a really good doctor on staff, so it shouldn't be too big a deal. But if things go bad... they'll get BAD. The chance is slim, but she might end up getting a career ending injury... or worse."

"That's a lot of confidence. I'm almost intrigued in what makes you so endeared to her." The Captain smiles. "All right, if she wants the toughest training, then she's going to get it.

I rather have an idol that is not doing as much, I think Rochelle needs to focus on what she needs to do, while flattering to have her attend the event juggling singing with this crippling training,I feel is a risk.

Depending on how dangerous this trip is, I feel niko or Julie will be the better option

>>33528992
Yeah, that sounds reasonable.

Personally, I'd have Julie attend, and not overwork Rochelle.

Could we get some training for Cole? Her powers need upgrading.

>>33528992
I don't think it's dangerous, it's an expo to show off your best idols. I just thinking that we can just use safe stims temporary, and take a break afterwards for her to recover.

Also, I'm sure Rochelle knows the mantra "Train hard, fight easy"

>>33528992

We'll go through the training first.

It won't take much to have a idol in standby to take rochelle's place if she doesn't look up to it but I say she gets a slot if she thinks she can/

"Well, first things first, what exactly is the Expo about?" You ask. "Like, really, what is the reason?"

"Well, on paper, the Expo is to 'promote cooperation and mutual understanding between idol companies.'" Jenner says. "But I'm sure it's just an excuse for people to show off."

"That's basically it." Lillith nods. "It's the one chance in the year that idol companies get to come together and try to prove that they're the best. It's not just a social gathering, but it's also a competition."

"Like, a literal competition?" You ask.

"Not really." Lillith shakes her head. "Most of it is subtle, under the table stuff. The big megacorps regularly send reps there to attend, so the objective is mainly to try and woo one of them into sponsoring your company. If two companies try to gun for the same one, well..."

"Well what?"

"I guess the idol equivalent of an underground cage fight? It can be a variety of challenges from a sing off between performance idols to a duel between combat idols. Depends on the situation, really. But there is one official competition during the Expo."

"And what would that be?" You ask.

"At the end of the Expo, each attending idol company sends up one performance idol to sing a closing number, and everybody in attendance decides who did the best. There's not really any real reward, besides the symbolic one, but in an industry like this, that can still be significant."

"So, what would be the security situation?" You ask.

"Well, if they haven't changed the venue, then the Expo will be held at the Ritz Carlton Orbital, at the top of OCP Space Elevator."

"Dang." You whistle. You heard about the RCO Hotel. Spending just one night up there cost millions, and that was just for a standard room. "So I assume security is tight."

"Extremely." Jenner nods. "Since the elevator and the hotel are on OCP property, it's guarded by private OCP guards, who have enough training and firepower to take over a country or two. Whatever threats that may come at us, it will not be external. At least, there's a very low chance."

"What you really have to worry about is the other idol companies." Lillith warns. "They might try to pull sabotage your chances of getting a sponsorship deal or just do it out of spite. You're not allow to carry weapons in, but of course, there's never any complete guarantee someone will follow the rules."

We can't bring in weapons but we can bring in personal accessories that can work in a pinch.

>>33529471
>We'll just have to trust that we can handle things on our own, then.

Cole has her electricity, and Rochelle can't make it we get Melissa.

We also taught rin some basic self defense and as long as she stick close to Jenner and producer she will be fine

>>33529471
>We'll just have to trust that we can handle things on our own, then.
Excellent, then we'll have an advantage with Cole and Rochelle's training, with Melissa as a backup.

>>33529471
>We should consider taking some hidden weaponry, then.

>>33529471
>We'll just have to trust that we can handle things on our own, then.

>>33529518

Decorative gauntlets that are armoured and can be used for defence.

Handbags with reinforced edges and straps so that they can be swung or used as garrots.

>>33529518
>>33529563
I rather not push it. Our best bet is a certain electromaster and a newly minted living legend.

Just a word in regards to Melissa.

If Melissa is needed over Rochelle, we'll have to take that blade out of her arm because I don't feel like having a chat with OCP personnel about why one of our girls have a blade.

And yes, I do expect them to be able to find it. Otherwise their security is shit. Which from what we've been just told about them... well, it doesn't seem likely.

>>33529614
It's fine, she is strong and a monster in close combat.

And I just thought of something? What if they make Cole wear an inhibitor or refuse to let her in?

Maybe we should call ahead to make sure there are no security concerns.

Also since Cole (and maybe Melissa) is going, we might want to teach them a bit of etiqutte as this is a medium to high class event.

>>33529658
>Cole

Best idea is to not say anything about her powers.

>>33529516
>>33529485
>Next thing you know some she hears some random sentence from a suspicious passerby, and her powers don't work.

My Shadowrun is waiting for that moment.

>>33529675

Oh they might already know.

Remember the fight with the football team that went viral?

>>33529614
We'll be fine, either her or Julie should be good in aright but it's just that Julie has the super punch if needed. Also it's called a hidden blade for a reason if they do catch it, she is still strong

>>33529658
Still fine, remove if needed also cole is no slouch in a fight

>>33529675
Again, like the other guy said it would be bad to underestimate the security.

>>33529691
Well she only really kicked a guy in the nuts, was soaked in water, and kicked ass without her powers.

>>33529658
Well aware of that front. Which is why I didn't suggest removing her from backup spot. But I don't want Anon to try and be cheeky little cunts and be it's fine... Like him >>33529692 Look it's also apart of her arm. You know the arm she uses to punch people with. I would rather not deal with OCP basically telling us to fuck off because we tried to cute and let her keep the blade when we don't need to risk it.

>>33529711

It also clearly documented her weakness when her hands were crackling with lightning, she got splashed with water and those powers disappeared.

>>33529748
Good point, but she was soaked once on camera. They probably need to soak her again to confirm that it wasn't just something else.

>>33529735

"We'll just have to trust that we can handle things on our own, then." You shrug. "I mean, Cole and Rochelle are perfectly capable of handling themselves without weapons."

"True." Jenner concedes. "I doubt the other idols would risk looking bad by being caught with hidden weaponry, so it'll be an even playing field if it comes to it."

"Okay, next issue, the." You continue.

"Fashion!" Ushiyama says. "At an event like this, what you wear is everything!"

"Lillith, what's the normal dress code for the Expo?" You ask.

"Well.. the thing is, there's really no codified dress code." Lillith shrugs. "Honestly everybody just wears whatever they want. Usually to fit the theme of your their company, or to impress certain representatives, or for just plain pragmatic reasons."

"I see." You nod. "Ushiyama, do you have any suggestions?"

"Well, there's three ways I can see this happening." Ushiyama huffs. "If you want your idols to look fancy and refined, we'll have to get them formal dress. If you want them looking cute and presentable, stage costumes. Professional? Suits. Or if you want to be intimidating, we can have Rochelle and Cole wearing combat uniforms. Or we can just have them dressed casually, to show that they're just regular girls. It's all about what image you want to project."

Personally, I think they would clash far too much. This about the group. company as a whole. Not individuals. Sure individuals make the group but trying to make each one a special snowflake... Don't see that working to impress anyone.

>>33530018
I don't see it that way. This is our biggest chance to make it big in the idol industry. And we are not going to make it by being the biggest, fastest, or strongest. Not by having our girls wear suits and pretend to be like everyone else.

It's going to be marketing. Projecting the image that we sell that is the greater version of who we are. People can smell pretenders. Only by being the best versions of ourselves we make it.

"What I'm thinking," you say as you try to imagine what your girls should wear, "is that Rin dresses fancy, while Rochelle and Cole dress professional. To show that if anybody wants to get to Rin, they gotta go through them."

"Hmmmm, interesting." Ushiyama nods. "That's good, actually. Suits can be made and fitted rather quickly, so those can be done in no time. And I've already had a gown design for Rin in the works. I just need the materials and we'll be ready to go."

"Excellent." You nod. "What does it look like?"

"I can't give away the surprise!" Ushiyama grins and winks. "But I can guarantee you'll love it!"

"As long as it's not TOO revealing." You warn.

"Of course, of course."

"Anyways, Lillith, would you have any idea of who's going?"

"Well... the Tribunal will definitely be there, but apart from that, I'm not sure." Lillith sighs. "The idol business is a very fluid field. Whoever was big one year, might crash and burn the next. I've been out of the loop for a while so I'm not sure who'll be going."

"Really, the only people who would have the full guest list are the organizers, and I doubt they're in a giving mood." Jenner points out.

"All right, so before we adjourn this meeting, Lillith, I wanted to ask you something."

"Hm?" Lillith blinks. "What's the question?"

"From your personal experiences, what's your opinion of the Expo?"

Lillith seems to freeze, as she doesn't say anything for what felt like a very long time. It was as if she was remembering things she'd rather sooner forget.

"In my experience, the Expo is very much the equivalent of a whorehouse, with idols all coming to show off their prized idols like cattle." Lillith grunts. "It may be a necessity to the industry, but it's still a travesty."

With that, Lillith gets up from her seat and storms off.

"I think you made her mad." Ushiyama says unhelpfully.

"Yeah, I kinda figured." You sighed.

What a bitch. I mean Idols are essentially whores you don't get to fuck but still.

>>33530467
Nah, they were never able to achieve the power of the original and since they were flashed cloned at the cost of a couple thousand dollars apiece, they needed to be programmed and thus have the personality of a potato.

I more worried that some Corp is out there killing 10,000 of them for a sick experiment.

>>33530528
That, and the possibility that they may be developing more genemods. So we'll be seeing different powers.

>>33530286
"Aw damn..." You mutter to yourself as you get up from your seat to go after her. "Ushiyama, get started on those outfits. Jenner... just do whatever you do."

You swear you see Jenner shaking her head at you as you exit, but you're already out the door before you can make sure. Accessing the building's security net, you manage to track Lillith down to the break room, where she orders a Coke and chugs the whole can down in a couple of seconds. She then crushes the can, tosses it into the wastebin, and moves to order a fresh one.

"You know, drinking too much of that stuff isn't healthy." You say, announcing your presence.

"I find it calming whenever I'm stressed." Lillith says as she grabs her second can. "Sugar always makes me feel better."

"Look, Lillith, I know you're mad. If it's anything I said-"

"No, it's my fault, really." Lillith sighed and leaned back against the wall. "My last Expo.... I had a real bad experience. You didn't know, so I don't blame you or anything. It's just... ugh. I wanted to forget it."

Lililth then opens up the can and chugs it down, tosses the empty can away, and orders a third one.

"Don't worry, I usually get over it by the fourth of fifth can." She says.

Mr. Icecream won't judge you Lilith. Mr. Icecream loves you.

I get the intention beyond it but the wording is... overly dramatic for this. Really, drop the whole "I'll always be there" part rest of it is fine.

>>33530688
Wait, that seems to contradict with what the diet of an idol needs to be. Maybe she worked out like crazy, or had an eating disorder? Christ, that would be horrible.

I mean, bulimia is common as fuck for ballerinas

>>33530569
"Look, Lillith, I won't try to pry into your life by asking what happened, but just understand, I'm always here if you want someone to talk to. It may not be today, but anytime you feel you want to."

Lillith snorts as she puts a hand up to her mouth, trying to contain her laughter. You're quietly glad that she wasn't chugging her can at that moment. Damn, it would've been messy.

"Did I say something funny?" You ask, confused.

"Ahahahahaha! N-no, it's just... Ahahahaha!" Lillith starts laughing uncontrollably. "All this irony. I mean, I'M supposed to be the one everybody talk to about their problems, and- Ahahahaha!"

Huh, it was weirdly ironic. But counselors were people too, and people weren't perfect. Finally, Lillith starts to calm down.

"Ah man, that really put things into perspective." Lillith shook her head and smiled. "Yeah... I think I should tell somebody about this. You have time right now?"

Because she is now plugged into the Misaka, I mean Cole Network, and is now wielding the power and the hope and dreams of her sisters. And the rest of the team is here for here too. I would feel sorry for the person at the other end of the railgun.

Also, on that note, we need to make Cole study EM theory and network comms. Give her the theoretical side so she can apply it.

"Always." You say with conviction.

"Come on, take a seat." Lillith motions to the table and sits down, sipping her Coke.

You sit down and wait for Lillith to continue.

"Anyways," Lillith sighed, "so, a bunch of years back, I was a pretty decently successful idol. Had a fairly large following, and a few good performances under my belt. In my old company, the Producer organized his idols into three 'tiers', with the first tier being his most talented and popular idols, and the third tier being the least desirable ones. I was in the second tier, but on the edge of getting promoted to the first. My producer decided that I should take the lead in the Expo, and he brought me in addition to two of his first tier idols. So, that meant there was only one bodyguard to watch two performance idols. Naturally, our guard stuck close to the first tier idol."

You were getting an ugly feeling of what was going to happen next.

"Anyways, I'm slated to do our company's closing number. But, before that happened, I got cornered by a few rival idols. And... well..."

Lillith bites her lip.

"To put it in the most basic terms, they roughed me up. Tore up my dress and did everything their power to make me look as unpresentable as possible. My producer was fucking furious, not at the attackers, but at ME, because apparently it was totally my fucking fault that I had half-assed protection and got jumped in a 3v1 confrontation."

Lillith takes another long pull from her can.

"Well, after that, he demoted me to third tier. I responded by slugging him in face and quitting on the spot. Never liked that creep, anyways."

"And that's how you got to where you are now." You say.

"Pretty much." Lillith nodded. "I figured, if I could help other girls deal with their problems, it would help me deal with mine. It sorta worked, I guess."

(cont)

>>33531277
Shit I had some a while back after not eating there for like a year and I am not sure about that.

"You're a good woman, Lillith, no matter what anybody else says." You assure her.

"...thanks." Lillith gives you a warm, genuine smile. Something you don't recall her ever doing before. "I think I needed that."

"Well, glad to be of service." You chuckle and get up. "Anyways, I got work to do. Producer stuff, and all."

"Of course." Lillith nods. "Oh, and Producer."

"Yeah?" You stop at the door.

"Tell anybody else about this and I will crush your balls in a vice."

"Understood, ma'am."

You decide to check in with how the idols were dealing with the Captain's new training regimen. You head down to the danger room where you see you idols in the PT clothes running laps around the the room. However, the Captain programmed the the terrain to be the rockiest, most uneven and generally inhospitable to walking terrain ever. That, and it looked like the girls were easily carrying 50 pound packs on their backs.

Ahhhh, just like old times.

"Come on, faster maggots!" The Captain barks as your girls visibly struggle and groan at the effort.

Of course, Julie and Melissa did not seem to troubled by the weight. They both were unnaturally strong, after all. However, their movements were hampered by the bad terrain, which they hadn't really gotten used to dealing with, just yet. Cole was right behind them, obviously struggling but determined to keep up, you assume so as not to look bad in front of everybody. Meanwhile Morgan and Sparky were lagging behind, obviously not used to this level of physical training. Well, they were going to get used to it now, if they wanted to survive.

Surprisingly, or perhaps not surprisingly, it seemed that Rochelle was in the lead. While she may have lacked Julie and Melissa's strength, she certainly seemed to know how to get around the terrain.

"I guess you're right. She certainly is a gem." The Captain concedes when she sees you approach.

"Well, her father was mountain infantry." You reveal to her. "I wouldn't be surprised if he taught her a few tricks."

"Ah, makes sense." The Captain nods.
