It is the year 22XX and Humanity has reached the stars. Alas, even though they have attained the lofty goal of interstellar travel, mankind has yet to conquer it’s baser instincts.

Humanity is ruled by ultra-Corporations. Some own continents. Some own multiple worlds. But no matter who you are, everyone is a citizen-employee somewhere. The qualms that beset corporations of the past, copyright infringement, tech theft, still exist. If anything, they are amplified by the scale of the players.

Without government to turn to for legal recourse and separated by millions and billions of miles, corporations have turned to less savory solutions to resolve disputes. You are one of those solutions.

You are an elite mercenary, also known as a High Impact Public Representative, of the StrikeOut Company, a group of mercenaries who accept contracts and missions from the highest bidder. You are launched out of a spaceship in a drop pod filled with bright orange and highly toxic gel. You crash land into the target’s facilities, make a mess, do your job, and then get the hell out.

You are a Fall Guy. You are a Deniable Asset.

Tsukino supports you as the pair of you ride up the freight elevator into the HOEV, surrounded by grateful miners. Your fellow merc guides you to one of the impact benches in the passenger cabin. You collapse onto it, grateful. As you close your eyes, you smile.

Good day.

You groan loudly as the cryoberth unleashes you from it’s icy grip. Looks like someone put you into cryosleep while you were still resting off that colossal ass whooping that you delivered to Dreads. Groaning miserably as you hoist yourself out of the berth, you fight down the urge to retch. You succeed. Barely.

“Hey, the man himself joins us! Had a good nap champ?”

“Shut it Cy,” you mutter, burping wetly.

“Ohhhh, Kostov-san,” murmurs Tsukino, looking vaguely nauseated at your discomfiture.

“Don’t act so surprised Tsukino! Don’t you remember how Ivan got when we were going through cryotraining?”

Both you and Tsukino shudder at the memory. You had eaten a huge breakfast that day, not knowing the effects that cryosleep had on you. You were scrubbing out the bay floor for hours. “C’mon Cy, don’t remind me,” you say, trying to suppress another belch.

“Hey man, you should be grateful. I made sure Tsukino didn’t do nothing naughty to you while she was prepping you for crysleep.”

“Jalali-san! I would never!” Tsukino gasps, blushing.

>So what do you do?
>”Hey Tsukino, be careful. Wouldn’t want me filing an HR complaint on you.” [Tease her a bit]
>”Hey Cy, lay off Tsukino. You know what a proper lady she is.” [Tell Cy to let off]
>*Snort, roll eyes* [Don’t join in, but let Cy loosen Tsukino up a bit]

"Cy, I'm disappointed in you, we all know that she is a perfect lady and wouldn't even consider doing something naughty.

Isn't that right, Tsukino-chan?"

This ought to get Tsukino about as red as a fire hydrant, and tease her a bit at the same time as she tries to deny things.

Hey questfags, Fall Guy asked us to let you know he's been banned for a day so he's sorry but he can't write more of your precious cyberpunk space opera mercenary wank until later. He doesn't know why, but that's 4chan janitors for you.

Next thread tuesday barring further developments.

If you want to complain bitterly you can come to the IRC I guess, he's here also complaining bitterly.

NEWS FLASH, QUESTFAGS:
We're considering workarounds, Angelic has volunteered to waste his goddamn time pasting shit that Fall Guy types into a pastebin. Take that mods, we're organized now. Like a really stupid mafia.

We may be able to do more than that if Fall Guy moves his ass to a different IP or something, then he can vomit words at you directly.

No promises though.

>>29974238
You remind me of FUBOT only less funny.

Still, shitty that he got banned. I now wonder if he was off trolling anonymously, or if there was one really butthurt janitor that loved Obnoxious Ghost Quest.

>>29974291
Man every time this happens to a QM and it's happened a lot in my oldfag record of being a waste of perfectly good arms and legs it's not been for discernible reasons except just once when a namefag on one board provoked a global response wherein his handle got a QM banned on sup/tg/.

I remember a guy got banned right before starting part three of a quest for making some really civil post about oil rigs over on /g/. That was some fine moderation at work.

>>29974322
What can I say, no accounting for poor taste.
>>
>>29974356
>sup/tg/
/tg/, rather. Whatever, I'm done here, discuss the quest or something as it'll improve Fall Guy's odds of staying engaged.

>>29974392
Well, we just finished a mission and we're in a cooldown period. I'd like to see how much we get paid, how much damage we've suffered, and experience more asian stereotypes for laughs.

Perhaps we can work on our limerick skills.
>>
>>29974462
I am looking forward to the bounty from Dreads, it ought to be rather nice considering how long he's been around.

Piles and piles of money which we then immediately spend on guns, augmentations, and a bigger axe.

And maybe a bit towards our debt as well. Hopefully we'll be able to cut a good chunk out of it.
>>
>>29974462
>>29974563
Yeah, thankfully it's a cooldown thread. I imagine we got some mean cash for taking down Dreads.

And man I am glad he's dead I still hope he's alive
>>
>>29974600
>I still hope he's alive

If he's alive, he aint happy. Probably would have to be augmented even further... maybe some sort of cyberzombie
>>
>>29974600
If he does come back that'll be a fun time. We might get to work together and then we can go drinking with a giant Rasta.

And we'll already have gotten the bounty by then, and I certainly hope that they can't get their money back for the bounty. We gave them pretty solid proof that he was dead, just not quite 100%.

Forcing out the last bits of gas trapped in your stomach in a series of small burps you look up at Cy. “Hey now Cy, I’m disappointed in you. We all know that Tsukino is a perfect lady and would never do anything so naughty,” you turn and grin at Tsukino. “Isn’t that right Tsukino-chan~?”

As Tsukino shifts from slightly pink to a furious red, you and Cy roar with laughter. “I-I-I,” she stammers, trying to find words.

“Besides, why would I complain about something like that?”

Tsukino’s face is nearly purple. Chortling, you clap her on the shoulder. “Hey, c’mon now Tsukino, just messing with ya,” you look around the Cryobay. “Hey, where’s Clayton?”

“He got dropped off a few jumps ago,” answers Cy, “New New South Wales is a coupla jumps before the Brick.”

“Figures,” you reply, grinning at Tsukino as you put clothing on over your cryosuit. She’s trying to hide her flaming embarrassment behind her bangs. “Hey now Tsukino, don’t have a nosebleed or nothing.”

Cy raises an eyebrow in confusion as he slides a t-shirt on. “Nosebleed?”

“Yeah,” you answer, chortling, “It’s something… it’s hard to explain.”

Cy shrugs as he lifts his duffle bag onto his shoulder. “Alright, whatever. C’mon, let’s get paid and shit.”

The three of you file out of the Cryobay and begin to walk down the cruiser towards the airlock. Cy nudges you in the side with his elbow. “Hey Ivan,” he says, leering, “You looking forward to seeing Valkyrie?”

“Hahhhuhhh…” you wheeze, thinking about the forceful redhead. “Uh, maybe?”

As Cy needles you with information only a fellow survivor of a Valkyrie attack would know, you notice Tsukino biting her thumb. Cy is the first through the airlock doors to the Brick, leaving you and Tsukino alone as the station’s biohazard scanners check him for potential pathogens. A tap on your shoulder. You turn to see Tsukino standing behind you, eyes focused on the floor.

“I-I-I just wanted to let you know Kosotv-san,” she mumbles, speaking more to the cruiser than you, “That I did nothing untoward to you while preparing you for Cryosleep. I am not so brazen as Valkyrie is!”

>What say you Ivan?

Lightly pat her on the head.

"You really are easy to tease, aren't you? Don't worry Tsukino, I believe you. If you do anything 'untoward' towards me I'll be awake and fully aware of what's going on.

You know, you're right.Won't happen again. thanks for the reminder.

I think that pretty much the entire board agrees that autobans for urls/spam filter are worse than hitler, though, because they are 1) unreliable and b) there is no list of prohibited things posted anywhere, least of all the faq where it should be. Its totally bullshit when it happens when it shouldn't, and that's all the time. It is compounded by c) why the hell doesn't it give a short-term probation instead of a ban?

ou chuckle a little and grin at Tsukino, flashing your pearly whites. “Hey now, Tsukino. It’s perfectly fine. Cy and I were just giving you a hard time.”

Tsukino unleashes a relieved sigh. “Oh, that is good. I did not want you to think of me as a lewd individual.”

Snorting at her usage of the word lewd, you step into the airlock, and stand still as the scanners get to work on you. After a few minutes a light in the corner of the room flashes blue and the other set of doors open. You slip your e-glasses into place. A few minutes of silence as you walk deeper into the Brick, then a ping from Cy. You open the message.

>Hey bro, just wanted to let you know. Clayton gave me the video of you fighting Dreads. Just finished uploading to local network.

Oh. Oh shit. Another ping. Cy again.

>Be sure to use a rubber! :D

You swallow compulsively and hurry down through the Brick’s corridors, rushing to the one place where you’ll be safe. HR. Striding down the hallways, you beeline for Svenja’s office. You open a comm-channel with her. Svenja looks back at you, smiling professionally.

“Why hello Mr. Kostov. From what I hear, it’s rare for the mercs to actually contact us HR folk.”

“Yeah yeah Svenja. I’m a bit of a rush. Be at your office in five.”

“Oh?” inquires Svenja, eyes narrowing suspiciously. “What ever for?”

“Just be ready.”

You almost sprint the final few meters to her office door. “C’mon, open up,” you mutter as you hammer on it with your free hand.

Svenja opens the door, and immediately scurries out of the way as you rush into the office. “Really now, Mr. Kostov,” Svenja sighs as you collapse into the office seat, panting slightly, “What’s with all the rush.”

“Cy just uploaded a vid from the mission,” you send her the link.

Svenja moves back to her desk and sits down, brows furrowed. You examine her face as she watches the footage, noting, with some pride, as her eyes go from narrow to wide, her mouth pursed to a slack “O”.

Svenja gasps slightly, and covers her mouth with a hand. After a few more minutes, she takes the e-glasses off. She looks at you with a mixture of shock and… fear? Perhaps?

"So yeah, fun fight. Dreads is dead, kicked out an airlock with a shaped charge attached to him. I figured he ought to have a bounty on him, or several bounties, and I intend to collect. While I'm worried that Valkyrie might break my pelvis, I might be able to buy a new one with the money.

The rest of the mission went pretty smoothly, got the civvies out safely and cleared out the rest of the base by fiddling with the life support. I'm pretty happy about this one."

“You gotta hide me. If Valkyrie jump my bones, I’ll be in fucking traction for a week.”

“Valkyrie?” mumbles Svenja as she accesses some personnel files, “Oh! Ms. Frazier. Oh… oh my. Oh my indeed. That’s… That’s quite the file we have on her.”

“Yeah.”

“Do you want to file a sexual harassment complaint? It wouldn’t be her first,” Svenja scrolls down the list, “Or her hundred and first. Goodness. Three at once?”

“Three? Three whats?”

“I’m sorry,” responds Svenja, shifting herself upright, “I’m afraid I can’t disclose that Ivan.”

Raising both your eyebrows, you exhale loudly. A few papers on Svenja’s desk flutter. “You’ll be pleased to know, however, that she’s away on a mission for the next few days, Ivan.”

“Oh,” you can’t tell if you’re more relieved or disappointed. “Probably a good thing, I think my shoulder got broken.”

“What?” Cries Svenja. “Ivan, that’s serious!”

“Eh, beat down Dreads okay with it,” you shrug, wincing slightly. “Speaking of which, Dreads was apparently a big important guy. Am I in for some bounties?”

Svenja purses her lips as she digs around some HR files. “Oh yes. Quite a lot in fact. Thing is, they’ll take some time to process. We can talk about more immediate earnings from the mission though.”

“Oh yeah. We managed to rescue quite a lot of Kilburne personnel from the base, that’s gotta be worth something. And the base is intact!”

Svenja nods. “Yes, the Kilburne representative were thrilled that you managed to keep the base intact. They were much less happy about the workers, however.”
>cont.
>>
You can only manage a confused “Buh?”

“Yes. Apparently Kilburne is now on the hook for some major comp that would not have otherwise been due had their captured miners been lost with the base. Not that the scumbags would admit it publicly. I had to work very hard to keep them from completely cancelling the mission pay.”

“Are you fucking joking?”

Svenja scowls. “I wish. Absolutely appalling. So! On to more pleasant topics. You’re due for 10,000 credits for mission completion, a 3,000 credit hazard pay bonus, a 5,000 credit bonus for keeping the base intact, and the ten percent bonus on top of all that. So in total, you’re due 19,800 credits!”

The account manager in the corner of your e-glasses pings as the funds are transferred.

+19,800 credits
Checking Account Balance: 28,268

“I have some less welcome news, Ivan,” continues Svenja, sighing. “Interest on your debt to StrikeOut came through. You now owe them 91,875 credits.”

“Aw, fucking really?”

“Indeed. How much would you like to pay in debt reduction?”

>How fiscally responsible is Ivan feeling today?
>Just pay the interest
>Here, 10,000 credits should keep ‘em happy
>Not paying anything
>>
>>29976361
>>Here, 10,000 credits should keep ‘em happy

We'll be cashing out on the bounties anyway.
>>
>>29976361
Well shit then....almost 20 K isn't bad, but those guys are scumbags. I don't think I'll want to work with them in the future. Tell her we're really thankful for her helping to wring them for the credits she got.

>How much do we pay
Shit, uh...

Pay them so we have an even 15,000 credits left

I like solid numbers.
>>
>>29976361
Pay 20k

>>
>>29976361
>Here, 10,000 credits should keep ‘em happy
Would that lower the debt from what it was originally?
>>
>>29976361
10K should keep them happy for a bit...

Also, could you tell me a basic count on how much of a bounty Dreads had? I'd like to try to calculate how much it is to continue paying my debt.
>>
>>29976361
I'd be willing to pay a good 12,000 out. Because otherwise there's no way to off set the interest rate increase in time before the end of the next mission in three days, mathematically speaking.
>>
>>29976361
>>Here, 10,000 credits should keep ‘em happy
>>
>>29976361

pay them 10000 so that we still have some cash to buy upgrades
and ask if they will charge you for the shoulder
>>
>>29976449
No, the previous debt was 81,000.
Only paying 10,000 credits changes nothing.
>>
>>29976418
Yeah, a little bit. It'd go from the original 87,500 to 81,875.

From the pastebin:
Debts:
25,000 Credits in augmentation fees | StrikeOut
17,500 Credits for ENBI Uplink and ByOS | StrikeOut
45,000 Credits for CQC Package | StrikeOut

Why not pay off all of the ENBI Uplink and ByOS debt?
>>
>>29976361
>Here, 10,000 credits should keep ‘em happy

Carve off a good chunk of it. The longer we wait the more it'll cost. We might pay more off once the bounty money comes in but I'd like to keep some liquid assets.

Ask for a ballpark figure on how much we'll be getting from Dreads. And if the gene mod we brought in for our first mission has been of interest to anyone.

Also, thank Svenja for dealing with Kilburne and getting us paid for this mission.

We should probably see a doctor when we're done here, get our shoulder patched up.
>>
>>29976564
Yes, I'll second that because it's an item that won't accrue any more debt.
>>
>>29976564
I like this, we can just chip away at it piecemeal, first the ENBI, then the augments, and the CQC package last of all.
>>
>>29976568
I forgot about the gene mod. Man, I wish we kept it, we could have made a lot of cash off of licensing.
>>
>>29976564
It doesn't really matter where we take the debt off of, it's the same total. I'd rather keep some cash around to get a bigger axe and more dakka for our next mission while we're waiting for bounty money to roll in.
>>
>>29976564
Thirding that, pay off one section of debt sounds good
>>
>>29976611
I'm pretty sure Fall Guy is calculating interest separately for each chunk, so if we pay off all of one chunk we'll have less interest to pay off in the future.

We should probably ask about blacklisting procedures regarding patrons. At the very least, ask her to keep an eye on previous/current civvie casualties from previous Kilborne missions.
>>
>>29976622
the debt is not sectioned since we owe it all to the same guy, she gave us the total number meaning they are making the math based on the whole debt

sorry about the english

Huh. So, someone want to calculate that, to see if he is taking it from each separate chunk?
>>
>>29976674
Nah, h'es not.
>>
>>29976674
The maths say that it's based on the total existing debt. Since 87500 x 1.05 is 91875.

That said,

I'll still second taking a large chunk of it away.

I'm skeptical about that. When companies talk about 'processing' it's traditionally the time it takes them to figure out how much money they don't have to give you for any number of reasons.
>>
>>29976924
>> what kind of weapon would you like to get eventually?
Some higher tech axe or other melee weapon.

Possibly a monomolecular edge sword or a vibroblade.

Or a rocket axe.
>>

What kind of question is that?

WE WANT THE BEST, MOST BADASS, MOST AMAZING WEAPON TO EVER EXIST.

POWER AXE

WITH A HELPING OF PLASMA CANNON
>>
>>29976924
I really like axes personally, they fit Ivan.

I'm thinking we need a bigger, badder, heavier, more murdery axe with cool tech stuff in one hand, and our other arm is heavily armored and can be used to take blows, and keep the hand free for a one handed rail-shotgun which replaces buckshot with flechette, allows for all sorts of interesting ammunition, and we can just use solid slugs for penetration. Maybe with an underbarrel plasma-flamethrower on the shotgun.

So, yeah, I'm essentially saying we should become axe Guts.

>>29976924

The Zorg ZF-1.

>It's light. Handle's adjustable for easy carrying, good for righties and lefties. Breaks down into four parts, undetectable by x-ray, ideal for quick, discreet interventions. A word on firepower. Titanium recharger, three thousand round clip with bursts of three to three hundred, and with the Replay button - another Zorg invention - it's even easier.

“Here, let’s pay off 10,000 credits then. That should help start bringing it under control.”

You groan as you watch the credits flit away from your checking account once more. Svenja nods, a pitying smile on her face. “There there, Ivan. I’m sure this’ll all be paid off in no time once the bounties on this Dreads character come through.”

You grunt in assent before perking up. “Hey. How much was it anyway?”

“The bounties? Well, the ones we have listed on file here say almost two hundred and fifty million credits, all told.”

You gape at her. “H-holy... Holy shit.”

“Holy shit is right,” responds Svenja, frowning slightly, “But I don’t think collecting them will be as easy. Apparently a lot of people have claimed to have killed Dreads, and he always comes back. It’ll take some time to sort the issue out.”

“Alright, well then,” you say as you rise to your feet, careful not to use your injured shoulder, “I guess I’ll see you in three days then.”

“Ah yes, about that Ivan. Company policy dictates that mercs cannot go on a mission for at least seven days after being declared fit for duty by a medical officer.”

“Really? Any way to work around it.”

“Well, if you go to the hospital on E-Level, and they say it’s only a fracture or something, then you can go back into action as per usual. And even if it isn’t, it would behoove you to get it fixed as soon as possible.”

“Thanks, I guess,” you grumble as you turn to leave Svenja’s office, somewhat irritated. “Offer still stands if I see you at the bar, by the way.”

“Hahaha, why thank you Ivan.”

And make it big, and red, as well.

As you exit Svenja’s office, you reactivate the comm-handler on your e-glasses. Your vision is immediately filled with bright green pings, comm requests, and event invitations. “Holy fuck.”

You click open a ping from Cy.

What if it was a future revolver-shotgun that used a railgun firing system and was linked up to our HUD and could automatically turn to the bullet we wanted, whether it was the incendiary rounds, the gel rounds, the hyperpenetrator rounds, and whatever other rounds we pick up.
>>
>>29977303
He was kinda kicked out an airlock, and then a shaped charge went off.

It'd be pretty difficult to find him after that, and we really weren't in any condition to go searching for body parts in space.

>>29977444
Nah, he's dead unfortunately. I kinda liked him, so it's too bad.
>>
>>29977437
We should probably spend some time with Tsukino and pick up some stealth skills. We're awesome once we get up close, and a bit of sneaking could get us past things.

And what's more terrifying than turning around and suddenly seeing a crazed man charging at you full tilt, his footsteps not making a single sound, as he swings this massive axe.

>>29977444
I'm hoping if we see him again that we end up working together on a contract.
>>
>>29977434
I have two questions for you FG,

One, why are you so based?

Two, how EXACTLY is our debt calculated? Per item interest, or Per total debt interest?
>>
Guys, relax! Fall Guy said he was meant to be a recurring villain but that plan was foiled!
He's totally dead!
>>
>>29977483
>>29977444
Actually Fallguy had to roll for his survival, we don't actually know if he's dead, the chances of him living are slim, but there is still a chance.

Rolled 10, 7, 3 = 20

it really doesn't metter if the interest rates are the same

>>29977517
It's so cute that you believe something told to you about something your character couldn't possibly know...
>>
>>29977434
Wait, we're a Sigma class employee. Did our pay for this mission include the 10% bonus from that?

>>29977517
I'm just hoping that we get paid for his bounty before he pops back up.
>>
>>29977486
Stealth tips from Tsukino would be great... Honestly that whole hallway sequence where she almost cut us up is a kind of subtlety that would be perfect for our fighting style.
>>
>>29977554
>Not picking up on the sarcasm.
>>
>>29977555
dude, it's right there, in the calculations.
>>
>>29977550
It does matter because if it's Per Item then knocking one item out means .05 less interest accrued for that item, where if it's per Total debt it doesn't change anything.
>>
> >>29977203
>invitations of what sort?
The annoyingly social kind. You know, fancy people, fancy dinner, lots of self-important folks and the like. Do you enjoy being asked "Have you ever killed a person?" and similar?
>>
>>29977465
Damn right

>>29977490
1) years of drinking milk (haha chemistry joke)
2) total, since its all the same rate and im lazy
>>
>>29977563
My thoughts exactly. Sneak up closer, then turn into a rampaging engine of destruction.

And if we need anyone to spar with Tsukino is a good choice, we get to learn a lot about fighting someone smaller and faster than us, and she gets practice in fighting someone who is big, but not slow, and more than happy to follow up a dodged or blocked swing with his axe with punching her in the gut or stomping on her foot.

They have a lot to learn from each other.

>>29977583
So it is, I missed that.
>>
>>29977616
Thank you based FG, that'll clear up any debt considerations in the future nicely.
>>
>>29977616
Milk is actually slightly acidic.

>>29977612
That does not sound like Ivan's sort of party. Not in the least.

However he might go just to raid the buffet table for everything that it's worth and to abuse the open bar. He'd probably go in full combat gear, except maybe a helmet, and use his axe to point at things and swing it around when talking about his fights.

All of this would be a terrible idea, and we probably shouldn't do it, but I have to admit I'm tempted.
>>
>>29977612

Nice. No, fuck the party.

You groan internally and deactivate your e-glasses, turning them off completely. Only way to guarantee that no one can track you or identify you from your e-profile. Grabbing a hoodie out of your bag, you slide it on gingerly. You yank the hood up over your head and put your e-glasses back on, activating their mirrored lenses mode. Figuring that you aren’t about to get any more stealthy, you walk towards the hospital bay, taking care to keep your strides normal. Luckily, you’re in the HR wing, which is a place nobody willingly visits. The hospital is on the other end of the Brick, a few levels below HR. You decide to take the nearest elevator up to Level-G, which is mostly devoted to cargo bays, loading docks, and mechanics. Most personnel on the Brick can’t access this level, but your training as a Techie has allowed you certain permissions. Not as glamorous as the plethora of pharmaceuticals that people with medical and biologics training can dip into, but you’ll take what you can get.

Dodging around automated loaders and a few supply ships, you pass through Level-G unmolested. Place is mostly automatons and drones, neither of which give two shits about what’s playing on the mess hall big screen. As you walk, you reactivate your e-glasses, careful to turn off any social networking aspects. Nearest elevator shaft from G to E Level lets out close to the hospital. It also lets out close to the Brick’s shopping area. Why the fuck people bother with malls you’ll never figure out, it’s the 23rd century for fuck’s sake. But they do, and you’ll have to dodge around it all.

Again, had you medical training, you would've been able to access the series of emergency tunnels that run parallel to the major thorough fares of the Brick, for rushing critical cases to treatment. But you don’t and that’s that. You pull your hood a bit lower as the elevator doors open, disgorging you into one of the most traveled parts of the Brick. People are talking to one another, a surprisingly large number of them too young to be employees. Didn’t realize there were so many families on the Brick. Staying close to the wall, you are suddenly blinded by bright light.

“Hey, you’re in the way!”

You cover your eyes and move out of the spotlight. Four young boys are sitting near a tablet, which is projecting something onto the wall. Their mothers are standing behind them, a strange mixture of disapproval and lust on their faces. Keeping your hand up, you wonder what they're watching.
>cont.

You see yourself leap Dreads punch before executing a downward stomp.

The boys cheer. Their mothers “hmmm” is a way that is both judgmental and intrigued.

You are about to make your hasty exit when one of the moms looks at you, her eyes widening slightly. Coughing into a fist, you lower your face so that it is obscured by your StrikeOut hoodie and hurry away, down to the hospital.

You think you can hear excited chatter from behind.

Striding into the hospital, you’re pleased to see that the waiting room is empty, except for one very bored looking receptionist. She looks up as you enter, face retaining the scowl of one who works in the service industry.

“What can we at StrikeOut Health Solutions do for your today, sir or ma’am?”

As you walk forward you pull back your hood and remove your e-glasses. “Ivan Kostov, here for a medical examination as soon as possible.”

The receptionist’s attitude executes a perfect one hundred and eighty degree turn. Oh no. “Well Mr. Kostov, Doctor Barnes is seeing another patient right now, but he’ll be done in a moment.”

“Okay, I’ll wait in here,” you answer as you take a seat.

Silence of a few moments. Maybe, just mayb-

“Soooo… you the one that everybody’s been talking about? My name’s Linda. What was it like?”

He threw me into a wall, I got pretty angry and wasn't really thinking straight after that. I can tell you this though, I felt well and truly alive during that fight, I had a smile on my face the entire time, and I laughed during it."

I see him as a travelling mercenary, hopefully with enough money that it's more for the travelling part than the mercenary part. Enough of a reputation and enough money to pick and choose his jobs, and go for the ones that ought to be amusing.

While he might not stay with StrikeOut forever, he'll probably be with them for a while and keep up good relations with them even if he leaves.

“Wasn’t really thinking at the time. Otherwise I wouldn’t have tried going to toe to toe with a Giant Cybernetic Rastafarian. I guess getting flung into a wall pissed me off.”

Linda gasps and leans back slightly in her seat. “So it IS you! I wasn’t so sure, cause they didn’t identify you in the video.”

“Oh. Yeah. Yeah that was me,” you shrug. “I mean, I wasn’t really thinking at the time, like I said.”

There is a moment’s silence. You look at Linda. She seems to be preparing to say something. “WellI’mgladhedidn’thityourface!”

“Eh?”

Linda’s face is crimson. Her forehead glistens slightly. “Well, I uh. I’m gla-uh… I’m glad he didn’t… nevermind.”

“Okay?”

You look up as Darius exits the patient wing. The senior merc nods at you, smiling. “Sup, rookie. Fancy seeing you here.”

“Hello Si- Darius. What’re you in for?”

Darius cracks his neck loudly. “Just the usual check up. You?”

“Getting my shoulder looked at.”

Darius chuckles, shaking his head. “Jesus rookie, didn't you learn anything from my performance review? Be more careful.”

You figure he hasn’t yet seen your fight with Dreads yet. You decide not to mention it. “Yes, sir!”

“Darius, rookie,” he calls over his shoulder. As you nod, you can see Linda staring down into her hands. You walk up to her. “Hey, is Dr. Barnes available now?”

Linda nods, all of her initial coyness gone. “Yeah, he can see you now…” she murmurs softly.

“Thanks, Linda.”

As you walk into the medical wing, you hear a thud from the reception desk, as if someone struck it with a round hardened object.

Let's be honest, we're going to end up here a lot, we're just that kind of guy. So we may as well get on good terms with the nice receptionist, it'll be helpful for the future, and who hasn't wanted a bit of fangirling over them.

>>29979274
Val doesn't seem like a waifu, we just fuck madly.

I personally happen to like Tsukino, we work well together, she's adorable, and it's hilarious to tease her. Obviously this is a future thing, not saying we get together right now or start going on candlelit romantic dinners.

We should get it. Mind you, we should tell her we're not exactly available for a deeper relationship. Mercs don't have good survival statistics, and we don't want to leave a girl heartbroken if we die.

You pause. standing in the corridor leading to the doctor’s office, thinking. Eventually you shrug and send a ping with your contact info to Linda. You make sure to include a caveat that she not spread it around. From the reception counter, a gasp. You smile and step into Dr. Barnes’ office.

A balding middle aged man in a labcoat spins around in his chair to greet you. “Hello Mr. Kostov. I assume this isn’t too urgent, otherwise one of your friends would be dragging the upper half of your body into my office instead.”

“Naw, Doc. Just need a quick check up on my right shoulder. Think it might be a bit busted from my last mission.”

Doctor Barnes sighs as he stands up. “Turn around and let me take a look,” you comply. “God, you mercs. I don’t think that there’s any other job that allows people to accrue more injuries. And if there is I haven’t seen it.”

A pause. “Yep, its broken. We got a whole lotta of hairline fractures, and one very large crack. It isn’t split in two or anything, so consider yourself lucky.”

“Shit doc. How could you tell so quick.”

>cont

>>29980257
Dr. Barnes turns you around, tapping his temple. “I’ve got some very nice eyeware. Built in T-ray scanner. Opening a practice here was the best career move I ever made.”

“I can believe it. Now what?”

“Well,” says Dr. Barnes as he sends you an image of the inside of your shoulder, “It won’t be too difficult to fix, no need for messy micro splints or anything else, and luckily you don’t have one of those more exotic skeletal augments. Just need to inject some proprietary medical mumbo jumbo, check you up again in four days, and I can sign you off with a clean bill of health.”

“Damn, that means more than a week before I can register for missions again.”

Dr. Barnes grunts unsympathetically. “Then don’t get injured. Broken bones are especially difficult to deal with. Now relax your shoulder.”

You comply once more as a long needle passes into your shoulder. “Ow.”

Dr. Barnes pulls it out, tapping the syringe. “Didn’t flex. Good. It’s always a pain in the ass when some fool merc flexes and bends the needle.”

You turn back around to face the good doctor. “Done now?”

“Yep. That’s a 1,000 credit co-pay or whatever. Come back in four days so I can approve you for another drop. Have Linda fill in a time slot for you. Now get outta my office.”

You leave the perfunctory Doctor’s office and walk back to the reception desk. Linda looks up at you and smiles nervously, before blushing furiously once more. “Hey, uh, when is Dr. Barnes available-”

“12:00, 14:30, and 15:00,” interrupts Linda.

“Uh, the 12:00 then.”

“Oh! Ah, sorry for interrupting you again, Mr. Kostov.”

“It’s no biggie,” you answer as you wave goodbye.

You decide to hang out a little bit more with Tsukino. Minimizing the torrent of pings in your e-glasses you send her a comm request. After a few minutes of waiting, the channel opens.

“Hello Kostov-san?”

“Sup Tsukino. You busy?”

“Oh no, not at all. I am having lunch in my quarters with Becker-san and Ruiz-san. I am trying to avoid all of the attention. Apparently Jalali-san went out of his way to inform people of our escapades.”

“Oh awesome, I wanted to see those guys too.”

“And I decided to invite Acerbi-san over too! It is becoming just like our own private party now.”

You smile and roll your eyes at that. Kid sounds right excited at the prospect. You switch your e-glasses back to mirrored mode and put your hood back up. You might not be able to cut through G-Level this time, but this seems like it’ll be sufficient to get to the quarters. Keeping your head low, you hurry through the hallways of the Brick avoiding eye contact with everyone. Luckily, you aren’t nearly accosted by some station mom this time, and you manage to make it to Tsukino’s room unhindered.

You stand before the door, inhale deeply, and knock three times. The door slides open, revealing Markos’ grinning face. “Jesus dude. I don’t think my abuela even knocks on doors. You can be such a throwback.”

“Not surprised your grandmother is hip and happening. Probably isn’t even fifty yet.”

Markos snorts as he leads you into Tsukino’s suite. It’s way bigger than yours. Like, three or four times the size, and that’s just the living area. You whistle. “Damn Tsukino, sweet digs.”

Tsukino smiles. “Really, it is nothing too spectacular, I hope.”

You walk forward and take a seat at an insanely low table in the center of the somewhat barren room. “This traditional?”
>>
>>29981202
“Indeed Kostov-san. My father was always going on about preserving Japanese culture and values. I suppose some of it has rubbed off on me.”

Taking a seat, you reach out and grab at the box of pizza on the center of the table. “This traditional too?”

“Becker-san and Ruiz-san insisted I try some of this pizza. It is very heavy.”

“I told Markos we shouldn’t have started her off on a deep dish.”

You’re jaw practically unhinges as you chomp into the fat slice. “Don’t care. Been forever since not glop.”

Markos chuckles as he sits down next to you. “Yeah, you and Elda man, neither of you two ever eat out. Must be a nice change of pace, eh? You cheap bastard.”

“Mmmmph,” you attempt to respond around a mouthful of bread and sauce and cheese and meaty toppings. Just then, the Tsukino’s door opens once more. Elda is standing in the doorway, looking abnormally cross. A perfunctory greeting to Tsukino and she is across the room, glaring down at you.

“You are a clinically certified ritardato. You utterly foolish, glory hungry, pissheaded coglione.”

Gotta say I agree. And then add later

CQC fighters armed with axes aren't known for their life expectancy, Elda.

I am, however, surprised that you care about my well being. I appreciate it.

"How can testicles be glory hungry? You're not making any sense, Elda."
>>
>>29981220
*give her the GRIT MODE grin*

then hand her some pizza

>>29981373
Let me rephrase that.

"I fight mainly in melee, Elda. It's bound to happen eventually."

“Mmmmph mph GULP. Nice to see you too Elda.”

Elda simply looks disgusted. Crossing her arms, she waits for you to say something else. You swallow the remainder of your pizza. “Didn’t know you cared.”

Elda’s expression get’s slightly more wrathful at your impudence. “All of this risk taking and dare devilry just for some recognition, is that it?”

“Hey don’t look at me. I didn’t film it, nor did I put it up on the big screen. Blame Cy for that shit.”

“It is true, Acerbi-san,” confirms Tsukino, appearing silently from behind in incensed italian. “I do not think that Kostov-san was thinking of… anything really when he fought that oni.”

Elda sighs and sits down across the table from you. “Clearly not,” she says, before lifting up a slice of pizza and carefully placing it onto a plate. “Do you have any utensils, Tsukino?”

Tsukino bustles off before depositing a fork and knife next to Elda and taking a seat. You are then treated to one of the funniest sights in human space. A merc trying to eat deep dish pizza with cutlery. You try not to laugh. Markos fails before you do.

“Hahahaha! Jesus Elda, that ain’t how you eat deep dish at all!”

Elda scowls at Markos. “I am aware. However, even if this is the barbaric creation of some heathen Americans, I shall eat my food as a civilized human being would.”
>>
>>29981841
Markos shrugs before turning to face you. “Me and Niels had a good drop with Ifu. Managed to snag some pretty nice credits while we were out there too.”

“Oh really,” you ask around a mouthful of pizzay goodness. “What kinda dosh did you get?”

“Just some grade A proprietary tech shit. Like, we’re talking a new battery design here. I was hoping maybe you could help us out.”

“Sure thing,” you reply. Markos sends over some schematics. You swallow. “That looks pretty complicated.”

“Hey man, just thought I’d try to cut you in on our little venture.”

You grin and nod. “Hey, never said I wouldn’t try.”

You’re about to return to your pizza when you notice Elda staring at you. Her face is weirdly relaxed, like she was scowling at you but forgot to keep the muscles tensed up. Tsukino herself is glancing between you two, her face worried. Looking over at Niels, you see him openly staring at Tsukino, a dreamy expression on his face.

>Jesus, are Markos and I the only ones here for the food?
>What should Ivan do?
>>
>>29981876
>Eat more pizza.

"So Niels, how'd your op go? You hack your way to being a millionaire yet?"

While drawing attention to Niels demonstrate to Elda how to eat pizza properly, by folding it in half in your hand

>>29981876
"If the rest of you are just gonna sit and stare I'm sure Markus and I can eat the rest of this."
>>
>>29981876
Eat more pizza

Also try not to stare at Elda for her weird look.
Then proceed to stare anyway.

"Somethin on my face?"
Swallow before you speak, also.
>>
>>29981876
Give Elda a wink, just for shits and giggles.
>>
>>29981876
This >>29981972

Chat with Neils and then utterly appall Elda. Make sure to smile.

After that ask Elda what she's been doing lately. Complain a bit about having to wait for a while since our shoulder broke.

"Niels, Jesus, just ask her out or something. Damn."
>>
>>29981876
>“Just some grade A proprietary tech shit. Like, we’re talking a new battery design here. I was hoping maybe you could help us out.”

"Man, you guys get all the good stuff. I've got to start salvaging stuff. Like relationships. Gosh, i can find a fuck, but not a girlfriend, even if she was staring in my face!"
POINTED LOOK AT NIELS. Commence eyebrow waggling if he still doesn't get it
>>
You glance around the room. Markos seems just as nonplussed by the weird atmosphere in the room as you are. You reach out and grab another slice of pizza, making sure to keep near eye contact with Elda. You fold it in half, an impressive feat considering its deep dish, and just as you bite into it, you suddenly lock eyes with the woman. She doesn’t immediately respond. You decide to wink. Elda’s face reconfigures into a look of confusion. You swallow. “Somethin’ on my face Elda?”

A pause, then Elda gasps slightly. Her back suddenly straightens, as if someone reinserted the stick that’s so often up her ass. She scowls at you, ears turning slightly pink. Taking advantage of her momentary confusion, you shift the focus of the conversation onto Niels. “So Niels, you gonna be a millionaire any time soon? Or were you already?”

Niels looks at you, slightly dazed, before shaking his head. “Ahhhh, yes, yes, no! No not at all, I mean no. No I’m not on the verge of becoming a millionaire.”

“Yeah man,” continues Markos, clearly glad to have the conversation flowing again, “No rich executives this time. Maybe next drop, right Niels?”

“Yeah…” responds Niels, that dreamy look overtaking him once more. Kid is fucking hopeless. You reach out underneath the low table and give him a little kick. Niels yelps in surprise. Not exactly the manliest reaction. Mentally declaring the cause lost for today, you bury yourself in pizza. Luckily, Tsukino and Markos fill in the conversational void for you, each one relaying the events from their mission.
>>
>>29982646
“Yeah yeah. You would not believe the weird shit they had in the imagineering rooms. Looked like a cross between a hippie’s living room, a kindergarten, and a fucking sex dungeon. Engineers man… So Elda, what happened on your mission?”

Elda looks up at Marcos before looking back down at the table. “Nothing. Nothing worth talking about,” she replies softly. Before Markos can needle her for more information, the female merc is on her feet.

“Thank you for inviting me over to your suite, Tsukino. It’s very nice.”

And with that she’s gone out the door.
