Alright, no longer story update to start off with. Just a vote. Basically, we’ve done the fun thing I had in mind for Ivan’s little adventure, namely saving Svenja. Not that’s out of the way, would you prefer to stick as Ivan and continue fighting mercs or see what things are like as the Tin Man?

>>32653203
I'd like to see Tin man.

>>32653203
Stick with the Bear, thick and thin.

I want to see tin Man, but why no IRC?

>>32653203
Lets have a taste of beta level operating. Are you planning on going through with whatever pov we pick for the rest of the session?

>>32653305
Only until we've cleaned up the trash. Then it's back to Ivan to get paid.

>>32653203
Lets allocate a tiny bit of time for the tin man.

>>32653203
Only if playing as the Tin Man require to starts or ends our sentence with Beep-Boop.

>>32653198

Interested in Tin Man as a character, would like to see how his head works considering he's . . well, not exactly the sanest bloke about.

>>32653413
I wonder if the term bloke even applies

Alright, it seems we want to be the Tin Man. I've been writing, but I'm announcing this ahead of time so people don't forget.

All combat rolls for the Tin Man are done with a +30 modifier.

>>32653551
Jesus Christ!

Do crit fails still apply? This seems like the only time I ever want to roll one, just to see what would happen.

What's his die modifier for social skills?

>>32653683

I imagine most of his conversations are just him beeping at people

Like a murderous R2-D2 with anti-social tendencies.

>>32653698
Say, is Tin Man old enough to remember the movie Predator?

>>32653867
No, that movie is like, nearly 300 years old now. I forget how old Tin Man is, but I think it's somewhere like in his 150s?

The Millennium Man would though, although he wasn't born yet when it came out in theaters.

>>32653890
...Are you implying that our boss is the only one who'd understand our references?

>>32653890
That's a shame. I had a theory that the whole reason Tin Man became Tin Man was because he saw classic Robocop and thought it was an inspirational biography.

The voice in your mind speaks, it’s tone mechanical and unobtrusive. You appreciate this, one final concession to the mind that once controlled your body.

>Combat Chassis Vitals are Nominal
>Combat Performance Statistics are 35% of Primary Operational Benchmarks

“It will be sufficient,” you subvocalize to your body, brushing away it’s performance concerns. These are trash. More of a risk that their blood will short circuit something than they actually damage the station by design. Sent here as a message, warning or display you cannot discern. Such judgements will be left for those with greater vistas than yourself.

You rush through the hallways of the Brick. Many would assume that a body more carbon nanotubes and tungsteel than anything else would clang and clatter. This is not the case for you however. Your feet, joints, are surrounded by a muffling bladder of some sort, and it allows you to move with utter silence should the need arise. For a long time you would always leave these bladders inflated, coasting through the station like a ghost, revelling in the surprise and fear that the unaugmented waste products experie-

>DEPLOYING STABILIZING COCKTAIL

You’re inadvertent burst of anger and aggression disappears under the wash of soothing neurochemicals. Even now your chassis ensures maximum cognitive function, allowing no level of imbalance to affect tactical and strategic level thought processes. Ensuring consistent and constant performance from the final and unstable part of the weapon that is Alexander Barrister.

Yes, you used to revel, but the psychologist said it was anti-social behavior. Not that is wasn’t to be expected, with the level of augmentation that you had undergone. But now, you leave the bladders deflated when among friendlies. Clank through the hallways so as not to startle. Let them stare, but at least they would not be frightened.

That is an untruth. At least they would not be startled by your presence.

That is also an untruth.

You would like to return to cryo soon. These walls are too familiar.

Your chassis deploys yet another shock of neurochemicals to your brain, a strange mixture of designer neuropeptides both calm your disquiet and bring your brain into high alert. You are prone to slipping, allowing daemons to control chassis functions while you retreat into yourself. The psychologist also warned you of this. You cannot help it.

You turn your attention to that which exists before you. A quick facial profiling scan and cross check and you know all you need to of the mercs before you. The male is on the ground, medi-gel patched into a debilitating leg injury. Debilitating for now at least, but you cannot care less for his long term health prospects. The female is speaking, she seems nervous.

They always seem nervous.

You turn your attention to the fem- Marlena Redskies. Not female, Marlena Redskies. You turn your attention to Redskies, who was addressing you. You awaken decrepit vocalization programs, long underused. You prefer to communicate by comm.

Opening your mouth, you unleash a series of long sequential beeps of various tones, the vocalizers ensuring that the hardware is still capable for performing after such a long period of disuse. You shake yourself slightly and try again. “Acknowledgment of services rendered, Redskies, Bodrov. You are relieved.”

You leap into the tunnel before you have time to process their reactions. Belatedly, you realize that a “nice work” or “good job” might have been appropriate at that juncture. No matter, they can endure without your approval. You land softly on the maintenance tunnel floor, bladders inflating to utterly silence your arrival. The tunnel is dark, power to the lights within have been cut. You active millidar suite, and scan the tunnels. Simultaneous thermal imaging and image intensification devices make the situation clear to you. Five hostiles. Armed with chemical slug throwers of all things. Yes, this was a message, not an attack.

The onboard hydrogen fuel cell starts up. You are glad you decided to take that instead of the mini F/F plant. That would have been overkill.

... the last standing mercenary, that we've been sliding at this entire time, gets finished of in melee. Grappled, use his gun to shoot his friends of they are still standing, kicked in the balls just for making us wake up, slapped across the head where the grenade bruise is forming, and then broken over our knee. Not necessarily in that order.

Supplementary sountrack fu, courtesy of max anarchy and madworld

You override daemon controls on your chassis. The psychologist said that you should be taking a more active role in your bodily operations, in order to help you with re-integration. You suppose that he did not mean that you should reassert control for the express purpose of hand to hand combat, but to be honest, everything else just seems so blase. Might as well tell your heart to manually beat. Repetitive and dull.

You begin to tilt forwards, preparing to sprint. Bundles of carbon fiber twitch expectantly as electric charges pulse down them. Then… the twitch. The exquisite sensation of the artificial myocytes bunching together as you explode down the hallway, the entire sensation replayed to your brain in ten thousand times more detail as neural processors absorb much of the mental load. Blitzing down the hallway you rush past the first hostile, the only acknowledgement you grant him a brief sequential tap of your knuckles. The first determines the resonant frequency of the merc’s torso. The second tap is a very carefully calibrated burst of force from your Variable Resonance Gauntlets. Your auditory processors register that unique muffled squelch as the merc’s sternum vibrates itself to shrapnel in his torso.

The merc’s comrades hear your approach. Already tactical assessment programs have analyzed the situation, telling your brain what your instincts told it a long time ago. You leap into the air, clearing the arcs of fire as the enemy attempts to shoot you down. The report of gunfire echoes down the hallway, accented by bellows of alarm. Crude.

You land deftly behind the merc and your arm lashes out behind you, bending in ways that would be impossible for an unaugmented human. Your hand finds purchase on his lower jaw, mouth wide open as he bellows in shock at your appearance. You yank him back around. His jaw does not stay attached to his head for long. He is flung forward and into one of his compatriots by the incredible whiplash that you arm is able to generate. You still have his jaw.

Tossing aside the bit of meat and bone you charge forward once more. The merc you are approaching manages to level his assault rifle and open fire. The bullets bounce off of your armored torso as if they were rain drops, barely even registering in your sensory suite. You turn in front of the merc, twisting around. Your knuckles whip into his head. You don’t bother to activate the VRG, the force of the blow is enough to obliterate his skull into an explosion of pink and bone.

There is one more merc still standing. You calmly point at him with your finger. A burst of electricity, to brief to even register in the human mind, passing along and ionized trail of air and into his chest. The merc spins around, the smoking crater in his torso leaving no question as to his fate.

You straighten up and turn to the last surviving merc, pinned under his jawless ally. You crouch over him, looming over his terrified form. He attempts to speak. You merely shake your head, and tap him on the forehead. The man’s face tightens up in fear, waiting for whatever horrible fate you’ve bestowed upon him. After a few seconds of nothing his eyes open, confused.

You flick him on his forehead. Standing up, you walk away from the merc as his skull makes ominous creaking noises. You register a strangled cry of pain before a wet thudding noise has his cranium explodes onto the floor.

“Hostiles eliminated.”

In one of the much earlier threads of DAQ, an anon suggested a hammer type weapon that used resonance frequencies to kill shit up. I didn't really want to add a hammer class of weapons, but the idea was incredibly neat and I ended up using it now in the Variable Resonance Gauntlet.

>>32655549
>, or is there anything pressing that you want to take care of right now?

Did we figure out why they were here, or where the second group of mercs went to?

Its been a few threads for me, but we should sweep the base, do damage control, and figure out what they were after(and whether they got it).

Also, ivan has...... the base to himself in the wake of the attacks, and all the other mercs are away on business!

This is a) an EXCELLENT time to mess with our friends and b) time to fuck with the armory and set up emergency gun access in case this shit happens again.

Also capture+interrogation is a good idea. They had to have got here somehow, we should find their dropship/hoev and cut off their exfil route.

>>32655597
Sounds super gay. Nice try, Gay Showerhead. You can't trick us into bringing another dude in with us.

I could try for an interlude later as one of the captured mercs trying to take a shower.

>>32655644
figuring who they are and why they're here is something that'll be left up to StrikeOut's own team of professional Question Askers.

>>32655689
>figuring who they are and why they're here is something that'll be left up to StrikeOut's own team of professional Question Askers.

It might be nice to see a recap/vigniette/npc reaction to the shit that went down as they get back.

Just imagine, you just lived through this shit, and you get word that a friendly hoev's coming back.

What do you do?

Well, you make sure theyr'e Actually Friendly this time.

And then.... well, you prop up your boots on a table, drink a beer, and bullshit your friends at 'missing all the excitement' as they get back.

Then.... you have a beer, and let them in on the secret, and wait for the NEXT returning team, and pull the same shit on them. Only with a few more pairs of boots on the table.

In short, mess with ALL the returning merc teams.

But definitely the ones deployed on the most strenous missions - Svenja's HR, she can help tell you who had the roughest assignment for maximum trolling.

Far cooler than those non-functional space guns.

You are Ivan Parkas Kostov once more. You’re not sure why you thought that, since you’ve never stopped being Ivan Parkas Kostov at any point in your life, nor do you have any idea why you’ve chosen this exact moment to have such an utterly inexplicable thought. You are walking down to HR after a lovely breakfast of protein mush in order to collec ton what you assume will be quite the pay day. After all, the Millenium Man himself sent out an alert to the mercs who were present of the StrikeOut base assault that they were going to be compensated quite well for services rendered in the course of combat. It’s been a few days since the base assault, the few days that were required to bring various HR offices back into usable condition. You still feel a mite guilty about using airbursts in Svenja’s office, but those bastards were pretty well entrenched.

You shake your head in alarm. What the fuck is with all of this exposition, you wonder. You were there for everything that happened over the intervening days, it’s not like you were wandering around on autopilot or anything or that you just like, skipped the time. You very clearly remember heading down to the range every single day to practice your abysmal aim with your Model 223 and shotgun, and your better but still could be improved aim with your OMP. Shaking your head in confusion at why you’re reminiscing about the past few days like they were fond memories of your youth, and wondering if you might be going senile, you knock on Svenja’s office door.

For once she doesn’t make a startled squeak of some flavor. You suppose that she might be a little deaf after all those gunshots. “Come in Ivan,” she calls from behind the door.

You step into the office and take your place at the customary too short seat in front of Svenja’s desk. She smiles at you over her e-glasses. You wonder why she even wears them, with the amount of shit she just ends up printing out anyway. “So, I suppose you can guess why I’m here,” you say.

“Hmmm,” Svenja hums to herself, smiling softly. “I don’t know Mr. Kostov. You’ve been making some office calls of late that most likely would not qualify as strictly business.”

You shrug, although on the inside you feel a little bad for Svenja’s desk. First you shot it up and then you further disgraced it. You doubt it could ever find a husband now. “Fair enough. But…”

“Yes, right,” coughs Svenja, her face a little pink, “Payment for Sour Oracle and some unexpected overtime. Let’s start with the overtime comp.”

You nod, waving your hand indicating that she should go on. Svenja pushes her e-glasses up her nose a little before continuing. “For services rendered in defense of StrikeOut, the Millenium Man is personally crediting you with 25,000 credits.”

You watch appreciatively as the credits flood into your checking account. This’ll go a long way to paying down your debts. “Huh. People should invade the Brick more often.”

“So says you,” replies Svenja in a mock accusatory tone, before pulling out a print out and handing it over to you. “Here’s your performance report for Sour Oracle.”

http://pastebin.com/ikdMX9Ng

"Well shit," you say, putting down the performance report. "That's a lot of credits."

"Indeed," nods Svenja, envy evident in her voice, "64,000 credits is generally considered a lot of credits. What do you wish to do with them?"

Seconded

>>32656516

I was hoping there would be a pastebin with a list of available augmentations, and I'm not sure how up to date Ivan's character sheet is. I think we got the second skeletal upgrade but I can't remember.

I want to pay off most of our debt, but have enough left over to get the required augments so we can use that big axe we found.

FREE AT LAST
FREE AT LAST
THANK GOD ALMIGHTY WE ARE FREE AT LAST

>>32656554
I too would like the price of some of the augmentations.

>>32656720
I believe we bought it but haven't had time to get it done yet.

>>32656554
Okay I like that idea.

>>32656737

Well let's say we got it done during the time skip, I don't see why we wouldn't have if we already paid. Then we also need to get the muscular augment that required the improved skeleton.

>>32656730
>>32656554
Here, I'll try to keep this up to date with the augments you haven't yet acquired.

http://pastebin.com/fbZYheJ1

>>32656627
A nice big eclair for her, with a "special filling".

I'm talking about our dick.

>>32656778
Man I was hoping we'd be able to use the axe by now, but we still wont after enough for both surgeries after paying off all our debt.

>>32656816
You just gotta believe in yourself anon!

That and axes. Believe in axes too.

>>32656778
So I am thinking pay debt then get monocyte pack hercules and falconian eye.

That would leave us with 17567 for gear.

>>32656816
Sure we can! All it takes is paying off "a good chunk" of our debt and buying up some augments.

>>32656851
Fuck I am dumb. We need metaboost as well for the strength upgrade.

>>32656862
Well I miscounted, it would take 53,000 monies to get all the augs required for a strength boost. That and everyone already unanimously voted for paying it all off.

>>32656880
And we only have the first skeletal upgrade, we need to get 25%.

So while I'm writing, I am curious, what are your long term plans for Ivan? Do you guys have any goals for him in the long run? Any plot lines that are hanging out right now that you'd like follow through with?

So huh, did Ivan got a level in shotgun? 'cause we might need the level soon if we're called for Merc Idol.

>>32656916
I see Ivan going to around mid tier then staying their and maybe raising a family

Rolled 8, 3, 6 = 17

>>32656916

We bought that one already I think, we just need to get it installed.

>>32656916
Get up to dreads level, have adventures, save human space from the bad pear, then retire to a private space island with [insert waifu here].

Then spend his days watching old movies, drinking exotically colored drinks from hollowed out space fruits, and fighting off then attacks of enemies from his back in his merc days.

Somehow we've got a relevant picture for that.

>>32656916
The only goal is getting that elusive Elda poon. Otherwise I don't really know. I don't think the Bitter Prophet issue is entirely resolved. I guess I want to just keep doing drops and making money, some intense and some lighthearted. Then have fun and get comfy when we're back on the Brick. And I think it would be fun to see ourselves become moderately augmented and getting new weapons, because everybody loves upgrades.

>>32656916
Not going heavy modded like Valk/Darrius for sure. Maybe have him build a small team with his friends to work for SO on special assignement.

Some follow-through with valkyrie, tbh. She's been neglected as of late.

Checkin in with the idol-recruits.

i'd like to see ivan get some officer-xp, maybe running support/radio for a mission (in house wargames/security response training post-base assault?)

>>32656916
Getting comfy. I think Ivan would be happy with a nice apartment.

>>32656916
I see Ivan wanting to become a fairly prolific merc, resolving the shit with the pear aliums, saving enough money to retire early, settle down and have a family, and on the side pursue a career in acting

>>32657043
Yeah I cant wait till we get to use directed energy weapons or railguns at the least.

>>32657004
If that's the case then we should buy the metaboost with what's left over and get them installed. Then we can get myocyte pack hercules after our next drop.

>>32657071
Add fuck up Gentech and I agree.

>>32657104
Having a recurring role on Space Love Heart would be a nice was for retired Ivan to keep sharp as well.

>>32656916
I kinda want to be StrikeOuts Top Tactical Leader at some point. Maybe not the best most leathal merc 1 on 1, but the once an op starts everyone takes our orders, from Millenium man on down.

>>32656916
PLOTwise, I'd like to see about mentoring the Himawari Force. I've been waiting for that for a while.

Where did it say babies only come from test tubes? I would think most women could still get preggers if they wanted

Svenja covers her mouth and gasps slightly. “Oh my, I almost forgot, you have a 10% bonus on top of all of that Ivan.”

You desperately attempt to keep yourself from openly salivating at the thought of 70,000+ credits flooding into your bank account. “Well shit Sven. I think it’s time to get the fuck out of debt.”

“You’re paying it off Ivan,” Svenja asks, sounding excited. “How exciting!”

“Damn straight,” you reply, “It’s time to live life debt free.”

You watch with immense satisfaction as your debt to StrikeOut, once seemingly insurmountable at nearly 90,000 credits, blows away to a glowing blue zero. “Well shit. I guess I’m no longer a debt slave. What an odd feeling.”

Svenja eyes narrow suspiciously. “Ivan, please don’t reverse your good fortune by trashing the Bar.”

“What ever gave you the idea that I’d do that,” you ask mock innocently. “I would never disrespect station property like that.”

“Mhm,” replies Svenja, utterly unconvinced. “Well, get out of here Ivan. I have some paper work to take care of now that you’re no longer in debt, and I need to focus.”

“What,” you scoff, “am I distracting?”

Svenja flushes slightly. “Extremely,” Suddenly Svenja’s brow furrows. “Right, one last thing. There was a request for you down at the StrikeOut training camp on Atlas. I’ll forward it to you.”

>>32657467
I remember a quote from long ago...

"In the grim darkness of the future, there are only swingers"

>>32657443
> not having an intimate, romantic, unique relationship with all of them

step it up senpai

You take your leave of the office and your lewd advisor. Standing in the hallway, you quickly go over your finances. Zero debt, and 41,567 in the bank. That’s quite a lot. Maybe you should look into those augmentation you were thinking about earlier. although you don’t have enough to purchase Myocyte Pack Hercules, you still have enough for either Metaboost or an upgrade to your skeleton, or both even. Even if you weren’t packing myocyte pack Hercules, you’d probably still see some strength gains from metaboost, while the extra resistance to broken bones afforded by an even more carbon nanotubey skeleton can’t be overlooked, especially considering how often you get tossed around.

Besides, according to strategic, most of your friend are still going to be out on missions for the next week or so. Now might be a good time to get some of those more extensive gene mods that you’ve been considering. As you ponder the possibilities, you decide to open the request Svenja forwarded to you.

>Mr. Kostov,

>In light of your ascent from the abyss indebtedness, we here at StrikeOut would like to offer our sincerest congratulations. Not every merc has the discipline and jewishness to make good their escape from debt, and very few have ever done so as quickly as you have.

>In honor of this achievement, as well as your impressive performance over the last few months we would like to offer you a chance to ascend to Pay Rank Omicron. This would entail a pay increase, as well as the right to drop on more high intensity, high risk missions. You may take your time to consider this offer.

>>32656916
Hmm, not too focused on the long term yet (most just trying to get Ivan to keep pace with or get a little ahead of the power creep curve) but if I had to pick a few I'd say move up the ranks, become a squad leader, work out Elda's backstory (if romance happens there, cool, if not hopefully we forge a deep and lasting friendship) watch the idol trio mature and lend a helping hand as necessary (get side benefits), earn Valk's respect as a peer (if this leads to some double badass approximation of romance, cool, if not hopefully we get a best battlebro and occasional drop buddy out of the mix), deal with the pear storyline and do fun missions. Oh, and I know it goes without saying, but try to keep anymore teammates from getting killed.

That's about it.

...and spend more time with Svenja. That woman is too adorable.

>>32657544
Hey FG, if we get both the skeleton upgrade and the metaboost at the same time will we still be able to do training with the rookies?

Yes on train rookies, get the skeleton now and Dopa-SYNTHoid as well. Improved firing stability, decision making and reaction time seems pretty damn useful.

Or one surgery before and one after the training mission if that's how it has to be.

At least Metaboost. If we have the time we should also get the skeletal Aug, but if not I'd propose we get the Immuno-metrics Service pack instead.

>>32657684
Seconding Dopa-SYNTHoid. Seems like a good call for us.

>>32657689
On second thought, neo hemoglobin and dopa synthoid + bones or metaboost might be a wiser choice to round out Ivan's skills

Alright, so due to time constraints, you can't get both metaboost and the skelly mod before going down to see your nascent-harem. So which one would you like to be first?

Also, any tertiary mods you'd be interested in, vote here.

Let's get the Metaboost first and give some real intense training. I'd also like to get the Dopa-SYNTHoid at some point, but for now I want to be able to get the Hercules pack ASAP.

>>32657791
Get the skelly first.

Also Dopa-SYNTHoid and Falconian Eye so we don't screw up quick draws anymore.

>Purchase Metaboost & Carbon nanotube
>>Also, training the rookies: Yay

>>32657791

>>32657791
Metaboost
DopaSynthoid

>>32657791
Skeleton and dope!

Considering the current time constraints, you figure that you might as well get your skeleton enhanced and pick up the Dopa-SYNTHoid mod. That should at least do you some favors when it comes to your incredibly poor draw. Besides, you don’t really want to run the risk of accidentally crushing someone with your hyper efficient muscles, something that is possible with metaboost. It does confer some increases to strength, and when you’re already super human, that can be a mite risky.

You march off to the station Clinic, where Dr. Barnes puts you under in a tube of medical gel and gets to work rebuilding your entire skeletal structure. AFter several days of medical magic montage you finally reawaken, feeling entirely the same as you had before you had gone under for modding. Sitting upright, you shower off, appreciating the lack of homo antics, and put on your clothes before stepping outside. You see Dr. Barnes waiting for you, an expectant if reluctant expression on his face.

“Alright Kostov. Glad to see you didn’t come in to get patched up. Now, I’ve just installed the Dopa-SYNTHoid gland and your enhanced skeleton. Do you have any questions about them that require answering?”

>questions?

You know, assuming Linda isn't in the room now might be a good time to ask whether increasing our muscle augments might cause any complications for us having relations with baseliners.

Just asking because I have a hunch that we might want to help Svenja invest in her stamina and durability if we want to keep having fun with our HR rep.

>>32658423
>Just asking because I have a hunch that we might want to help Svenja invest in her stamina and durability if we want to keep having fun with our HR rep.
Or her stretchability

“Yeah, well mostly just about the Dopa, Doc,” you reply, amused in spite of yourself at the alliteration. “Mostly, I’d just like a quick sit rep on what it does, and if there are any negative side effects I can expect.”

Dr. Barnes nods, looking serious. “I mean, outside of what you obviously already know, the Dopa mod essentially produces a powerful set of neurotransmitters should the need arise. It helps stabilize your body motions when adrenaline might otherwise cause your hand to shake for example, and it also makes you less prone to panicking under high stress situations. There’s also the fact that it makes it easier for you to focus, but that really only comes out again when the gland activates in response to heightened adrenaline levels.”

“As for side effect,” Barnes continues, “Nothing that I can think of that hasn’t been elucidated to you already. Some very rare cases of dopamine oversaturation, which can cause a brain burn out. Not nearly as extreme as it sounds, you just become more tired most of the time. Only occurs in one of every forty thousand recipients. Other than that… Nothing much. Possibility of rejection obviously, but if that happens you’ll have a lot more to worry a lot more to worry about than one gland in your brain.”

“Alright, thanks for telling me Doc,” you reply. The good doctor waves you on out of his office, he’s got shit to do. AS you step out into the lobby area, you wonder what you might do with yourself.

>Well, you’ve got 2 or so days until you go down to Atlas, anything you want to do in the meantime?

>>32658423
B-but Svenja isn't the fit girl she's the soft, pliable doughnut girl.

And even though that makes sense realistically, I doubt FG would limit our relationships based on our augments. Assuming we don't go Tinman.Also for an in-universe example, Valkyrie is heavily modded and she jumped us before we had the nano-carbon skeleton. At least I think it was before we got serious augs anyway.

>>32658533
Who is on a drop right now? It's been a while since we've seen any fellow rookies. Or maybe Darius or any other friendly superior is around. Barring chances to goof off, we haven't been to work in the armory for a while either so we might want to drop in.

Speaking of are we getting paid for our part time job, or are we getting some armory discounts?

You spend the remainder of the day getting used to your new mods, although there really isn’t all that much to get used to. It’s not like you got strength modded or anything that would require a few days of adjustment, just some more passive mods. You do practice quickdrawing down in the range though and are pleased by the way you seem to enter into a bullet time state every time you yank your gun from it’s holster. The added stability is nice too. After sending a large number of cardboard cutouts to an early death you return to your quarters for the night and rest.

The following day you spend primarily in the Armory, working on the massive suit of Aegis armor that the armorer left for you as a personal project. Although many of your early attempts to get a new chest piece, albeit one that doesn’t have the energy conversion trick of the old, slagged, one, are met with failure, you do eventually manage to bolt the chest piece into place. Satisfied at you progress in that regard you spend the rest of the time working on other merc’s weapons that have been damaged, dinged, and otherwise destroyed in the line of duty. Somehow, you manage to extract a suppressor from an otherwise unrecognizable hunk of melted metal and plastic. You examine the attachment idly. You might not have much use for it, but maybe a sniper friend might.

You eventually take you leave of the armory for the day, several hundred credits richer.

The last day you spend in a VR simulation Dojo, practicing various CQC and grappling techniques for… reasons. Lewd implications aside, you do feel the need to brush up on your hand to hand and melee skills for your students tomorrow, and you spend much of the day going over basic forms and ensuring that you have a solid grasp on the basics. Last thing you need is to get your ass handed to you by some snippy little rookie.

>>32660721
yes that would most likely be all that you'd have to do.

Working on interlude.

Also, opening the thread for discussion

>>32661652
Hi OP, just out of curiosity, are there any elective training courses Ivan could sign up for to improve himself? Pretty sure you said he had to be invited to take command training, but things like combat in vacuum or heavy mech piloting (or just piloting in general since we keep logging hours during transport)? Are those just open to us if we have the time and money?

True, though I suppose you could just time skip to the practical (applicable combat op). Just a thought anyway.

FG, how much would an upgraded apartment on the Brick cost, roughly?

>>32663399
uh... a lot. How upgraded? Tell me what you have in mind?

>>32663423
Not like a mansion equivalent, just basically the next level up from what we have now. More space, maybe nicer furniture and a window looking outwards.

Ivan does seem to love contemplate life problems while looking out into space.

>>32663490
hmmm prolly a fair bit. I'd do a monthly charge deal, but that would entail actually keeping an accurate tab on the passage of time, which I'm just not doing right now. Space transit times are completely undecided.

Maybe 60,000? I'm just spitballing.

>>32663490
Maybe we could get a complimentary one if we ascend another pay rank or two?

>>32663994
that would makes sense.

You have been trained. You have undergone years of it in fact. Under some of the most skilled and dangerous practitioners of the art in Human Space. They turned you into their canvas, their sounding board, subjected you to all manner of humiliation. But you, you did not break. Under the most extreme privation, mistreatment, and dare you say it, torture, you did not break. Years of training in both the arts of war and silence, where one spoken word could do more to hurt your company’s reputation than a thousand employee deaths.

No, they prepared you for torture. The scars are your resume, the burns the signatures of confirmation. They never prepared you for this. That incessant dripping, more ominous than a thousand hours of chinese water torture. Those metal pipes, more foreboding than the dankest prison bars.

You lean back against the cell wall, your chest heaving as you sigh, letting out a breath of defeat. You never thought this day would come. Your strong biceps flex as you stretch your arms, turgid muscles expanding and contracting beneath your skin. Your massive chest inflating and deflating, your pectoral surging as you inhale. Firm abdominals shift as the air flows into and out of your lungs. Your body is wet, drenched in fact, sopay suds dribble down along rock hard abs. You bit your li-

NO! No, that’s not right. That’s not… That’s what you don’t understand. They had prepared you for sexual humiliation as well. But nothing so insidious, nothing so deeply treacherous so sneaky so clever…

Your hand runs along your thigh, tracing the surging muscles that lead up to your manhood, even now standing tall and firm from the attentions you have paid it while covered in that foamy whiteness.

You gasp and inhale, eyes wide once more. No, no you’re out of it now. Why won’t it stop. Why won’t it stop…….

The door slides open. You cower away from it, crouching in the corner, trembling. A man is approaching you, his hand outstretched. He is proffering something. Something white… His voice... you cannot understand it. It comes out warped and warbling, a strange alien tongue that is beyond your comprehension.

“Get away! I’ll tell you everything you want to know just get away get away get away get away…”

>>>><<<<

“Jesus Christ what the hell did you do to him?”

“Nothing, I swear. You saw it on the monitors.”

“Yeah I know… I just have no idea why.”

“Search me. All I did was offer him a towel.”

The two StrikeOut guards look at each other, and shrug. “The prisoner is ready to talk. I repeat, the prisoner is ready to talk.”

I'm starting to think the Shower is related to the Pear conspiracy somehow...

>>32663536
If I recall correctly we were the only rookie merc that lived in those shoddy apartments. How do the others like Elda or Tsukino afford the nicer pads, especially when we were the first to make it to the next pay grade?

>>32664781

Fiscally irresponsible practices?

>>32664781
Connections for both of them. Well, Tsukino anyway. Elda's got money

>>32664839
>Elda's got money.

She just keeps getting more and more beautiful.

>>32664874
But she's a bitch

>>32664903
She's italian.

>>32664967
So she's a pasta eating bitch.

>>32664903
We've been over this, anon. She's pretty cold to people she doesn't trust, and right now, we're trusted.

>>32664903
Oi Blue ya cunt, go floss yourself with razorwire

>>32665020
We're getting there.

>>32665069
I'm pretty sure we're trsuted after the last evening we spent together, but that's no reason to stop. Still have a lot more ground to cover.
