“Who killed them?”

At that question, Haman suddenly frowns, as if remembering something unpleasant. “Garma Zabi was almost certainly betrayed by Char Aznable, and it's likely Kycilia met a similar end.”

“Mister Char did?” Mineva asks, seemingly surprised. “I thought he always seemed so nice!”

“Degwin Zabi was likely responsible for the death of Char's father, Zeon Zum Deikun, and was definitely responsible for the purge of Munzo's remaining Deikun faction,” Haman explains. “And Char was never really a kindly man, though his heart was sometimes in the right place.”

“I thought you used to like him?” Mineva frowns. “Like a lot?”

“I did,” Haman admits, noticing as Natalie Bianchi cgently shuts the book she has been quietly reading to this point. “There was a time where I was obsessed with him, and a time where I hated him for ignoring my feelings towards him. Now, though, I pity him.”

“Why's that?” you ask her, surprised at her sudden change of tone when asked to talk about the man she used to hate.

Haman shrugs. “I suppose it's because a man who has lost his meaning is the most pitiful thing there is.”

Crossing the room to sit with Mineva at her desk, Haman gives her student a mischievous grin. “Now, why don't we talk about something less depressing. I hear you've been writing letters to that boy on Industrial Seven?”

Mineva blushes, and immediately starts denying knowledge of any letters, of any icky boys, and she even goes so far as to deny having any memories of being on Industrial Seven.

“Now, Lady Mineva,” Haman mock scolds. “You know better than to lie to me of all people. What was his name again? Banana Jerk?”

“Banagher! It's Banagher!” Mineva insists in annoyance before quickly realizing her mistake.

Natalie opens her book again, and resumes reading.

There's a terminal down here, and in this case you may be able to use it to help Haman tease Mineva. The beginnings of an idea blossom into an honest-to-god plan as you call the bridge.

"How may I direct your call, Captain?" Reiko asks in a playful tone.

"Patch me through to Matsunaga aboard the Argama, would you?"

"Working on it, sir. Please hold." To complete the effect, you hear Reiko singing an impersonation of hold music on the other end of the connection.

Haman shoots you a surprised glance. "Matsunaga? He's alive?"

"You betcha," you reply. "The White Wolf himself."

"Got him!" Reiko reports.

"Matsunaga," you greet the grizzled man's image as it appears on the screen in front of you.

"Captain O'Hara! To what do I owe the pleasure?" he replies cordially.

You can't help but grin at him... well, "wolfishly".

"I have someone I'd like you to meet," you tell him. "Lady Mineva?"

Mineva walks up behind you, turning a suspicious eye towards the stranger you're introducing her to.

"Who's this?" she asks.

"Shin Matsunaga," you nod, before gesturing to Mineva, "meet Mineva Lao Zabi."

Matsunaga's eyes widen, then noticeably soften as your words finally hit home for him. You've just introduced him to the daughter of the man he'd served faithfully during the war, the child he left behind when he died in battle.

"Lady Mineva?" he repeats in awe before locking eyes on you. "May I come over to your ship, Captain?"

You nod. "I was hoping for exactly that. I fear Miss Mineva's heart has been stolen by a young rapscallion from Industrial Seven, and she could use a talking-to from her godfather." Mineva glances at you in shock, before whipping her head back around to stare at Matsunaga again.

Matsunaga suddenly puts on a stern face, clearly getting into the role as he strokes his beard. "I see... so Lady Mineva is growing up at last. Truly remarkable how quickly they do it. I suppose she has many questions about her father?"

You merely nod.

Just had a weird thought. To kill that many people without going into the future and expanded population levels could you travel to the past, kill everyone, then travel to the past a little before that, repeat, six trillion?

>>38518886
"Very well," Matsunaga growls, raising his bushy eyebrows at Mineva as his lips curl into a grin. "I will be over in about a half hour or so, once I clear it with my C.O."

"I look forward to finally meeting you, Miss Mineva."

"L-likewise!" Mineva gulps.

"He seems like a nice man," Haman muses as the line cuts out.

You nod. "A bit stern, maybe, but he has an honorable feel to him that I like."

"Reiko, you still there?"

"Always," she replies. "Who do you want to talk to now?"

"Please put through a secure connection to Pezun Base," you reply calmly, drawing a shocked stare from Haman and some chatter from the rest of the bridge crew that's plainly audible in the background.

"Are you sure? Pezun Base?" Reiko repeats.

You nod. "Pezun, aye."

"Who should I say is calling?"

It actually hasn't been all that long, and you get a report from Cima's spies once every two weeks. Nothing pressing has come up.

Nothing to report, though if you can spare the time at some point you may swing past Industrial Seven for supplies and drop in on him.

>>38519098
He was, yes, though you never met him face-to-face.

>>38518927
Depends. If you travel to the past and kill everyone, then that creates a paradox in which that universe did not create a time machine.

Or killing everyone in the past creates an alternate universe that diverges from the original timeline.

>>38519113
I would like to do that. Mineva will probably like to see him again.

"Tell them the Red Wolf of Odessa wants to talk to the Young Nobleman of Iron," you instruct Reiko. "That ought to get his attention, don't you think?"

"Were you both at Odessa?" Haman asks as Reiko puts your call through.

You nod. "We were. Never met the man, but I've heard his reputation, and he's probably heard mine. So I figure that's the best place to start."

After several minutes, you hear Reiko report back to you.

"I've got Pezun on the line, Commander Tachibana is standing by."

"Patch me through."

On the screen is a young man in a Titans uniform: you'd put his age somewhere in the mid to late twenties. A little older than Carya and Catrina, in other words, but not as old as Karen. His appearance is more lackadaisical than you anticipated given his nickname, as opposed to your more 'grizzled' features. Where your mess of red hair is at least cut to regulation, Tachibana's black hair is longer, flatter, and forms a bit of a mullet in the back. His posture is fairly slack as well.

But his eyes: that's where you can tell he's taking you seriously.

"Commander O'Hara," he greets you stiffly, as a Zeon aristocrat would greet a grease-stained mechanic. "To what do I owe this dubious pleasure?"

"It's Captain now, actually," you correct him. "And I get the distinct impression we've somehow gotten off on the wrong foot already."

Tachibana scowls at you. "A traitor calls me in the middle of my lunch break, and you expect me to be cordial with him? I'll ask you one more time: why are you bothering me?"

>Because we're about to become a major pain in each others' sides, and I know nothing about you.

"Because the power vacuum left behind with the assassination of Hymem will weaken an already fragile balance of power. Bernini is coming to the Earth Sphere and he will capitalize on Earths feuding powers, gobbling them up. Jupiter is making their move and the Principality Remnants will not remain quiet for long either. No, Tachibana. I'm calling to make a deal. You're the lesser evil gunning for Titans'. I figure the quicker we can install someone in power the quicker we can counter any encroachment from Mars or the Principality."

"My fight is not against all the Titans or the Federation, but the evil and corrupt elements within them. If a honorable man were to lead the Titans, then this battle will end that much sooner."

>>38520110
So, "You're a good man and I would be happy to back your bid for power even if my allies won't" deal. It'd also appeals to his politicians senses. Join the faction that ensures his survival.

>>38520304
Backroom deals huh.

>>38520110
>>38520304
Also point out that we have a lot of ex-titans on our side, that only defected after the gassing. If the Titans clean house, then it may be an organization worth working with.

>>38519772
"Because I want to know!" you exclaim. "Used to be Titans was a monolithic enemy, and now there are three factions to deal with. I have no idea who you are, or why you want to make a bid for leading Titans, or what you plan to do once you take over."

"So I figured we're both honorable men, and I may as well just ask you myself."

Tachibana shakes his head in disbelief. "Under what definition of honor does treason fall?"

"I wouldn't look at it as treason," you suggest. "We were merely supporting Titans when it seemed their cause was just. Now that the gulf between their goals and "justice" has become clear, we've withdrawn that support."

"Our fight has never been with Titans, or the Federation, or even with Zeon," you conclude. "Our fight's with the worst elements of humanity that are present in each."

Tachibana takes a moment to think over your words. "You seem to honestly believe that," he mutters. "Forgive me if I doubt your sincerity, I'm too used to seeing men like us whose actions and ideals don't line up."

"Why shouldn't I simply hang up?"

>Write-in only, twenty minute vote.

>>38520443
"Because Earth's agricultural output will half in the next century due to the colony impacts. The Earth Federation is aware, but doesn't know how to reverse or offset the decline. I do, but humanity needs a swift and final end to the Zeon/Federation conflict before any more time or infrastructure is lost, and the Titan's brute force will never provide it."

>>38520443
>"You have no obligation to speak to me, and can simply hang up. If you want to continue this conversation, though, more might come from this than the satisfaction of having the last word."

>>38520443
"Because the Earth Sphere is a shattered, divided mess, too disorganized and wrapped in it's own quarrels. The Titans and the Federation, the Sides, everything will crumble because we were too petty to help our fellow man when we had the chance. You're a soldier first and a politician second, Tachibana. We swore an oath to the Federation and her People from all threats. Without her people, the Federation is nothing."

>>38520443
"You know me by my actions. Look at how many times I have invited the enemy over instead of killing them. I have always avoided killing when ever possible."

"Count the number of ex-Zeon and ex-Titans members in my ranks. I'm a soldier and yet a man of peace. If a honorable man can lead the Titans, then we can achieve peace for now and more time to face the greater threats to humanity."

I get the feeling that Tachibana would counter by bringing up the the casualty list due to our actions. Faceless mooks they may be from our perspective, but they're still his compatriots in a sense.

>>38520929
Obviously, this is still war, soldiers will be killed if they don't surrender. But it's a man of mercy that accepts his former enemies.

>>38520443
You sigh to yourself. Really there are too many reasons he should listen to you to even bring up right now. The failing agricultural output on Earth, the threats of Mars and now Jupiter, the truth behind the Federation Charter, literal *aliens* meddling in human politics... the things you could tell him are things he's probably not even ready for.

It takes you a moment to come up with something he'll actually listen to.

"Because you know my reputation," you tell him. "I count former Zeon, EFSF, and Titans among the ranks of my crew, because I always try to give my enemies a fair shake. That's exactly what I'm doing for you."

"There are things I want to know, and things you NEED to know."

>>38521372
At least two of the rolls have to beat the DC. So long as one of the posts do that it's a success. If all of them do it's a critical success. So I Tachibana might like us a lot, now.

>>38521372
Works by counting the number of rolls in each of the first three votes that meet or exceed the target number. Two passes is a success, three passes is a critical, one pass is a failure, no passes is an extra degree of failure. The post with the most passes of the first three in this case was two (all three posters succeeded, in fact), so that is counted as a regular success.

Also, I just realized there's another Gundam quest on the board right now, with a Newtype by the name of "Ohara". Interesting.

"Consider my interests piqued," the messy-looking Titans officer replies, leaning back into his chair. "You offer me something, I'll offer you something. Deal?"

You nod. "One of your rivals is from Jupiter. It's likely he was sent here by Crux Dogatie of the Jupiter Empire to sow discord prior to a major military operation."

Tachibana raises an eyebrow at this news. "Oh? And how did you reach that conclusion?"

"I have a 'friend' inside the Federation," you explain. "A financial backer of the current administration you may have heard of: the Vist Foundation?"

Tachibana's features tighten. It's hard to tell from here without feeling his emotions, but it seems you've made him nervous. "You have dangerous friends, Captain. For my part, I will tell you this: I approached the Instructor Corps here on Pezun for two reasons. The first of these is that they have developed their own line of Mobile Suits called the "Xeku" series. They're both fast and powerful. I had hoped to use them to counteract the machines Papsmear is rumored to have developed."

Your initial snicker quickly turns into a laugh. "Sorry, I thought I was the only one who called him that!"

Tachibana gives a snort of laughter himself. "Of course not. It's too absurd a name to NOT make fun of."

"My second bit for you is this," you continue. "The Federation's estimates for Earth's agricultural output after the impact events in the last few years are bleak. They haven't released the figures yet, but it could amount to a loss of half the yearly yield."

The Young Nobleman lets out a low whistle. "I want to see those reports. If they're true, that means we need to wrap up this fighting in a hurry. Prolonged warfare will only compound the problem, especially in the colonies."

"And your bit?" you press. "What was your second reason for going to Pezun?"

"They hold truer to the Titans' founding charter," he replies. "They want to end the insurgency, not pursue their own power."

"And I take it you fall into the same mindset?" Haman asks sternly.

Commander Tachibana quickly places Haman's face, no doubt because he's seen the address she and Artesia gave before the Federation Assembly. Ballsy of him if he has, Titans issued an explicit order that made such an action a court-martial offense.

"Miss Karn" he greets your teammate politely. "As it happens yes, I do share that mindset."

"Drop the act," Haman insists, "you're not impressing anyone. What do you intend to do if you beat Pappy and Cue-Ball?"

"It's simple. I plan to keep true to Titans' mission as a police force with offensive capabilities," he explains. "Not that different to your own band of well-meaning vigilantes, but more legitimate."

He then puts his hands in the air in mock resignation. "Oh dear, I seem to have gone out of turn. Tell me something interesting, Red Wolf?"

I forgot about that, do we have evidence? If we do this is good.

>>We attacked the Leipzig Institute just a few days ago, and you may be interested to know what we found...

With regards to this facility, do we know whos faction was behind it?

>>38522122
>We attacked the Leipzig Institute just a few days ago, and you may be interested to know what we found...
>Other?
A general "Don't get in our way and we won't get in yours" would probably be the best we can hope for. Of course, we can always try to do better.

And if we have sufficiently gathered evidence, it might be good to mention this >>38522197
Though I do have some slight worries of playing this card early. Bask might get wind of it and start doing damage control to his faction.

>>38522122
"What are the specifications on those new suits? I'm going to be blunt. I have too many pilots and not enough or too many obsolete suits. You feel up for some trading?"

>>38522266
The evidence we have is circumstantial at best. It was in reference to the GM Quell production run.

>>38522333
>circumstantial at best
Let's hold it back until he trust us a little.

>>38522333
Oh, well if that's the case I'd rather play it close to our chest until we've gotten more solid proof and unveil the info as a prelude to an offensive against Bask.

>>38522122
"Fair enough," you agree. "We attacked the Newtype lab in Leipzig a few days back, destroyed a Titans-developed mental attack weapon, and rescued a cyber-Newtype they were trying to brainwash into piloting it. It's my intention to shut down the other Newtype labs by any means necessary, so you'd be wise to stay out of my way."

"I heard about that, actually," Tachibana admits. "To thank you for the warning, I'll offer you this: stay clear of Pezun. The Instructor Corps has lost three of its best students out of the last batch of advanced trainees, two of whom were at Leipzig. Those were Mouar Pharaoh and Jerrid Messa."

"Both of them may have survived," you tell Tachibana in response. "One of my pilots saw Pharaoh bail out, and Jerrid went missing after he was ejected from his machine."

"I see," he nods. "Anything else we need to tell each other?"

Sadly, this is the point where the stories you can tell him start to get progressively more outlandish and sensational. Though he's followed you this far you still don't think he's ready to know the full extent of the truth just yet. If you were in his shoes, you'd probably think you were a lunatic... in fact, you're not entirely convinced you haven't gone insane at some point along the way.

"I've seen things," you tell him, "that you wouldn't believe. But those are stories for another day."

Tachibana nods. "At some point, I may just "accidentally" send you some information. Until then, we'll stay out of each others' ways. Sound good, Captain?"

"That's fine," you agree. "Best of luck."

>>38522743
Haman lets loose a sigh of relief. "He seems... kind of okay."

"He does. We should keep an eye on him anyway, but it's likely that the other two idiots will be our bigger problem."

At this point, there are still a few things you could do with your day:

>You owe Cima a drink... or was it the other way around?
>You're in the same neck of the woods as your family for once. Go and visit them.
>Stick around and watch that bear of a man Matsunaga try and convince Mineva he's not here to eat her.
>Other?

>>You owe Cima a drink... or was it the other way around?

Dom and the group needs some laughs.

>>38522828
>Stick around and watch that bear of a man Matsunaga try and convince Mineva he's not here to eat her.
At least to begin with, ide like to meet the guy.
Then:
>You owe Cima a drink... or was it the other way around?
Or:
>You're in the same neck of the woods as your family for once. Go and visit them.
is fine with me.

Uh oh. They are so totally gonna transfer to either Bask's faction or Scirocco's camp.

And it occurred to me that two of the three persons of interest with knowledge of the intimate details of Operation Stardust on the Feddie side are dead: Wyatt and Hymem. And the last one will soon be dead too. It'll be a shame for the secret to be buried in the histories like this.

>>38522828
>Stick around and watch that bear of a man Matsunaga try and convince Mineva he's not here to eat her.
>Other?
Exchange some words with Admiral Kowen regarding any evidence we've gathered on Bask and Hymem possibly being in cahoots with Zeon remnants to orchestrate Operation Stardust.

>>38523040
I wonder if South ever found that briefcase.

We had the chance but we do not choose it.

At last poor Bask.

This is good too.

>>38522828
Matsunaga's going to be here in a few minutes, and you wouldn't want to miss that. But there's something that's been bugging you for a few days now that you may as well deal with, seeing as you have the opportunity.

As Haman helps her young charge with some math problems, you contact ALICE.

"Captain? I suppose congratulations are in order on your promotion?"

"Thanks," you nod. "You're actually the first to mention it."

"What can I do for you?"

"In my personal files there's a locked document marked "KOWEN BRIEF". It contains an overview of our investigations into Hymem's involvement in Operation Stardust, Anaheim and the Vist Foundation's affairs, the original Federation Charter, and the secret reports on future agricultural yield."

"I need your permission," ALICE tells you.

You type a short string of numbers into a command window for her. "They're Carya's measurements. I want you to send this document to Karen for her approval. Once she's given her approval, I want to send it to Kowen."

"Roger," ALICE responds before disappearing back into the Nagato's systems.

A few minutes later, there's a knock on the door, and Mineva gulps loudly.

"Come on in, Matsunaga," Haman calls in a sing-song voice.

(1/?)

>>38523524
>Carya's measurements
Oh god.
(As an aside, that's a mediocre password)

>>38523729
Yeah, six digits? That can be broken fast. Maybe if you spelled them out as words, not used the numerals, then it could have good security. But I don't think Dom did that.

>>38523524
Matsunaga bows his head slightly as he greets Haman. "Ma'am. I knew your father during the war. If I may say so, it's good to see you take after him."

Haman brushes some of her pinkish-red hair out of her face, apparently dismissive. "Thank you, I suppose. But you're here to see Mineva, right? Here she is."

Behind her brusque manner you can tell being likened to her father wasn't something she expected, and she's not sure how she feels about it.

"So, you're Dozle's daughter?" Matsunaga chuckles to himself. "Thankfully you don't resemble him very much, but I can see some of Zenna in you."

"You knew my parents?" Mineva asks, her curiosity getting the better of her as Matsunaga settles into a comfy chair. She sits next to him, craning her neck to look up at him.

Matsunaga nods. "I did indeed. I had the honor of fighting beside your father on several occasions. He was a good man."

"A good man?" she repeats. "But he was a Zabi. He helped start the One Year War! How could he be a good man?"

"It's possible for good men to be wrong," Matsunaga replies thoughtfully. "We thought we were doing the right thing at the time, and your father died thinking he was doing the right thing. Perhaps it was my misfortune to outlive him long enough to see how wrong we both were."

This isn't what you were expecting. This is getting very personal, very quickly. It almost feels wrong to listen in on Matsunaga's reminiscences on his dead friend, sitting with the daughter he left behind.

>Stay.
>Excuse yourself.

>>38523757

There is no shame in retreat. Especially if retreating involves drinks and a cougar.

>>38523900
>Excuse yourself.
Let's leave this conversation to those with a personal stake in it. Give Haman a kiss goodbye just to reassure her in case she's feeling nervous, then go deal with other business.

On your way out, you pull Haman aside and give her a quick kiss on the forehead.

"He'd be proud," you reassure her. "Don't think about it too much."

She gives you a little squeeze before you turn to step out of the room, as Matsunaga begins to explain to Mineva how her father died. Yeah... that was the right time to excuse yourself.

In your own quarters you send a quick message to Cima, asking her where she'd like to meet for the drink you'd discussed with her earlier. While waiting for a reply, Carya joins you. Her hair is still wet, so you guess she just came back from a bath.

"What's up?" she asks. "I felt someone else in Mineva's quarters as I passed by."

"Shin Matsunaga came to see his goddaughter," you explain. "Their discussion turned fairly private in short order."

Carya seems to pout a little. "He's here but he's too busy to drink and fight with us?"

"Lame," Catrina mutters, though they both seem to understand the reason you're all keeping out of their affairs for now.

"You need to make this up to me somehow," Catrina insists.

A light tone from your computer informs you that you've gotten a response from Cima: she's picked out an upscale bar here on Londenion. Seems classy rather than pretentious, which is a plus.

"What's this?" Carya asks, peeking over your shoulder. "No uniforms? From Cima?"

"Dominic, are you going on a date with Cima Garahau?"

You can tell she's not upset at this, but she's actually rather surprised.

>Not really, no. She seemed like she needed a break, so I'm doing something nice for her. That's all.
>Sort of, yes. It's almost certainly a one-time thing, though, given the circumstances.
>I have no idea. Why don't you come along and draw your own conclusions?
>Other?

>>38524761
>>Not really, no. She seemed like she needed a break, so I'm doing something nice for her. That's all.

>>38524761
>>Sort of, yes. It's almost certainly a one-time thing, though, given the circumstances.

>>38524761
>Other?
"I didn't think it was a date so much as just being friendly, but now that you say it...do you think that's what she's expecting?"

What if we hook matsunaga and cima up?

>>38524761
>>Not really, no. She seemed like she needed a break, so I'm doing something nice for her. That's all.

>>38524761
>Sort of, yes. It's almost certainly a one-time thing, though, given the circumstances.

>>38524855

It's funny because in G-Generation DS, Cima gets bonuses when in a squad with Matsunaga and Ridden.

>>38524855
>>38524949
let it be done

>>38524761
>are you going on a date

"Yeah? We're gonna go make out in my giant robot."

>>38524970
A three way relationship.

>>38524979
Actually, wouldn't Dom's Lilium gets jealous? We should do it in her Gerbera.

>>38524855
Maybe not right now, seeing Cima's stressed out from all the politicking lately, and Matsunaga's currently engaging with FLASHBACKS with Mineva.

Surely in the future, there will be joint operations with the rest of Londo Bell (temp.) so the Cougar and the Wolf can get along fine.

Additionally, we'll possibly also see interactions between the White Devil and, uh, that guy with the shades.

>>38524761
>Not really, no. She seemed like she needed a break, so I'm doing something nice for her. That's all.

>>38525040
I want to see Shin interact with Amuro. Amuro did kind of kill his best friend, after all. And yet they seem to be working together just fine. There's a conversation or two that must have happened that I'd like to see.

>>38525142
maybe they have decided to politely ignore it

>>38525196
>politely ignore it
Just like real life.

>>38524761
“I don't think so,” you reply calmly. “She seemed stressed out, so I wanted to do something nice for her. Make her feel younger and more appreciated for a little while.”

Strangely, Carya nods in immediate understanding. “I know how she must feel. Everything to do with Zeon aggravates me and Catrina, and Cima deals with their shit every day."

Carya glances over the email a second time. "I've been meaning to give her a chance," she muses, "and while Cima said not to come in uniform she said nothing about coming alone."

Well, you ARE all going to be working together for the foreseeable future, and you suppose taking someone else with you makes some strategic sense. Plus, it's not like this is a date or something.

>Sure, come along.
>It may be better if you stay here (reason?)
>Your call. I just wanna drink.

>>38525293
>>It may be better if you stay here (reason?)

>>Your call. I just wanna drink.
>>other
Though if you wanna come, might as well bring some other people. Say Matsunaga?

>>38525293
>It may be better if you stay here (reason?)
"I don't think she was expecting other people. I feel like she's the sort who would prefer to maintain control of the situation even while relaxing just for that sense of security, and inviting someone else along without asking her first could make her tense up."

>>38525293
>>It may be better if you stay here (reason?)
Just one on one between friends.

>>38525293
>Stay here

"You said it yourself, you two. It's a date."

>>38525511
Except we just said it wasn't.

>>38525559
They ribbed us for taking Cima on a date. We replied that we weren't. I doubt Dom is as dense as your typical harem protag. So, he has enough common sense and mindrape capacity to comprehend that the woman he is going to go see would view this as a date.

>>38525293
>It may be better if you stay here (reason?)
She did invite us let's not take any uninvited guests.

>>38525293
>It may be better if you stay here (reason?)
"I promise to make it up to you with something extra special."

"And I'll obviously be at her beck and call catering to every demand until she's satisfied, and it'll end with a full body massage."
"... I'm joking."

It's not a joke.

I got a witty reply for the first option too.

>>38525293
>>Your call. I just wanna drink.

>>38525735
>full body massage

The Sisters would demand pictures or it didn't happen. Which we will supply along with Cima's tiger-striped panties. Then they will try and bed Cima to one-up Dom.

>>38525293
>Your call. I just wanna drink.

>>38525293
"It might be better if you two stay here, actually," you admit. "Cima's not expecting anyone else, and having someone else there might make her uncomfortable."

"And that kinda defeats the purpose," Catrina finishes your thought. "I get it. You two have fun now, we'll just get hammered with Karen or something."

"Or get some work done," Carya shoots back at her sister. "You remember, work? That thing we sometimes do?"

"Yeah, fine, we'll look over those reports on the Tera-S'ono Audrey sent you," Catrina groans. "But promise me that after that we'll do something interesting?"

"I'm sure we can find something," Carya replies tersely... you're not sure you've ever heard this tense an argument between the two sisters before.

"Sorry," you offer. "If wasn't trying to cheer Cima up I'd take you along in a heartbeat."

"We know," Carya sighs. "Go keep that devil-woman amused for a while. It'll be good for her."

When you arrive at the speakeasy, it strikes you as a bit early in the day to be drinking already. But then again, given the circumstances you've been in for the last few months, you're less and less inclined to care about when and what you drink.

Inside the bar you find a long counter of dark stained hardwood, with the typical high stools and booths trimmed in leather. The ceiling is set with deep geometric patterns, and illuminated glass blocks here and there add to the glow.

Cima is sitting at the bar in a red dress, seemingly ten years younger than the last time you saw her. She notices you as you take a seat next to her.

"I'm half surprised you're alone," she muses. "I suppose that means you're taking this seriously."

"You don't approve?" you ask.

Cima shrugs. "I'm merely surprised, as I said."

You let the bartender, who's apparently well-known in this side for his finely-honed skill, pick your drink for you: Foxdenton sloe gin, from Earth, mixed with a splash of ginger ale instead of tonic, served with a slice of root ginger as a garnish.

You usually hate gin, but after a tentative sip you decide that the bartender's renown isn't for nothing. It's actually quite good.

"So," Cima asks, nudging you with her shoulder. "How have you been amusing yourself?"

>Write-in

Also,
>Ask her about her ship/mobile suit setup?
>Ask her about the political situation in the Republic. What convinced her to return to the front lines?
>Ask her if her spies have heard anything?

>>38526293

Well, we've been having fun rescuing cyber-newtypes and crushing Titan labs.

>Ask her about the political situation in the Republic. What convinced her to return to the front lines?

>>38526293
>"Well, I was plotting to kill Jamatov by giving him a stroke. Now I'm blowing up newtype labs for fun and profit."

This

>>38526293
>how have you been amusing yourself

"Collecting brainwashed Cyber-Newtypes, being a general nuisance to the Titans, conducting backroom deals, Tachibana says hi by the way, piloting a giant robot while looking damn good doing it, forming a splinter group with likeminded individuals, you know, the usual. You look good in a dress, for the record."

Then suddenly freak out because we just realized Cima is in a DRESS.

>>38526293
>Write-in
Same as usual, really. Blowing up Titans black projects takes up most of our time, we don't really get a chance to practice our hobbies. Though we did get to restore some vintage planes a couple weeks back, that was fun. Then again, we did later crash them into a Titans base. Kind of undermines that, doesn't it? You think we're becoming a parody of ourselves, Cima?

>Other?
What's it been like working with Zeon again? From what it sounds we set her up for a lot of stress by convincing her to join back up. Are there any redeeming parts to the job? Obviously can't be many, given that she's coming back to a front line command role, but I'd hope there's something to enjoy about it.

>>38526293
>"How have you been amusing yourself?"
>Write-in
"Reunions with past acquaintances (ahem, Jerid), meeting new friends, liberating the oppressed, and generally giving Jamitov and Bask an aneurysm. You know, typical military subterfuge and power play."
"And getting shot."

>Ask her about her ship/mobile suit setup?
>Other?
"Admit it. You wanted to be the first to take that ship design Haman passed to the Republic out for a spin once it leaves the drydock, didn't you?"

>>38526528
"I was originally thinking heart attack, but you know."

>>38526293
If she's nudging us that means she wants to engage in sex in the missionary position for the sole purpose of procreation. I've read enough doujins to see the warning signs.

>>38526293
"Well, I got shot," you offer. "That was fun. Wrecked a Newtype lab, rescued one of their test subjects before they brainwashed her into oblivion, ruined Titans' plans. You know, the usual."

"I see," Cima replies, crossing one leg over the other and rotating her seat to face you. "Sorry you got shot. Did you find anything else interesting in Leipzig?"

"A mind control weapon," you reply "Blew it up, of course. You're wearing a dress."

"I was aware," she nods, almost relieved that you did indeed notice that detail. "Not too flashy?"

"Nah, you look nice."

"Thank you."

You nod. "Sure. You may also want to know I called the Nobleman of Iron this morning for a nice long chat."

"Oh?" she asks, hiding her surprise by taking a sip of her martini. "And what did he have to say?"

"We agreed to stay out of each others' way," you explain. "So I guess it went about as well as you could hope."

There are a few seconds where you each sip at your own cocktail, deep in thought.

"So how bad is it in the Republic?" you finally ask. "I mean you're back on the frontlines, so it can't have been good before you left, but how bad is it really?"

"It's bad" she replies. "Too many of the politicians there are stuck in the pre-war mentality. They still think in terms of "freedom" and "oppression", rather than the cold reality of the situation."

"Which is?" you ask, sipping at your gin.

"That those things can only come if there's peace and stability. Anything else only fuels the anti-Spacenoid camp in the Federation assembly, regardless of how deeply you couch it in ideological terms. And they're too caught up in the notion of their "glorious struggle" to see any other solution."

>That's pretty cynical, Cima.
>And you couldn't convince them?
>They'll learn, eventually.
>If we have our way, reform could come quick enough to spare us a repeat of the One Year War.
>Just relax and enjoy the booze for now.
>Other?

>>38527153

Or die. Either way, they'll be gone and someone sane can try to make it work.

>>38527153
>Just relax and enjoy the booze for now.

>Just relax and enjoy the booze for now.

>>38527153

"They're politicians. They only see polling numbers and ballot sheets.

Hey, don't you have a bunch of commandos milling about?"

>>38527153
>They'll learn, eventually.
>Just relax and enjoy the booze for now.

Can we somehow bring up the question of where, when and how the heck did she get that swank tiger pelt she has on her ship?
Y'know, the one we always see whenever we spot her on her throne.

>>38527153
>>If we have our way, reform could come quick enough to spare us a repeat of the One Year War.
>Just relax and enjoy the booze for now.
>Other?

>>38527153
"Meh, we'll just threaten to sick Artisia on them in the elections if they don't behave."

>>38527153
>They'll learn, eventually.
And if they're too stubborn to learn (or die), we can always cite them going senile and space crazy.

>Other?
"I guess in the interim, we'll just have to make sure we can relieve the burden somewhat for the next generation. Pave the way and blaze a trail for them to usher a better, more peaceful era."

>Just relax and enjoy the booze for now.

>>38527153
"They'll learn," you reassure her, "or they'll end up getting replaced. All you and I need to do is keep the body count as low as possible until they wise up."

"True, I guess," she agrees.

"More importantly, Miss Garahau?"

"Yes, Captain O'Hara?"

"Where'd you get that tiger pelt I keep seeing you sitting on?"

She gives you an uncharacteristic giggle that almost verges on a cackle... you're not sure whether it's a pleasant sound or not. "Would you believe me if I told you I wrestled it first?"

"Not for one minute," you reply.

"Smart man. A traveling circus was shipping its animals between the Earth and one of the colonies, I can't remember which. Anyway, when we raid the ship one of the tigers got loose and started attacking my men."

Cima takes a sip from her second martini. "So I shot it dead and had it skinned. I keep it as a reminder that things can go wrong in bizarre ways at the moment you least expect."

"That's... actually kind of cool," you admit. "I mean, not the commerce-raiding, but the story's still cool."

"Well," she sighs, "my life used to be a lot more interesting, Dominic. Can't say I miss all of it, but there were some parts that still stand out."

>It's been nice, but your crew probably needs you back.

Matsunaga's there too.

Seconded. Might as well get the veterans club up and running before any more shit starts hitting the ventilation.

My sides.

And with all the odd things that keep on happening to Dom, unusually appropriate.

And then we should call amuro and bright over as well.

"Nothing glamorous about trying to survive out in the void anyway. No matter how much kids claim how fun being a pirate is. You wanna talk about it?"

"So, I realize we've not even eaten yet. Or seen a movie. You wanna continue this rendezvous somewhere else?"

>>38527874

Supporting.

>being a space pirate before it was cool

Would that make Cima the crossbone vanguard?

>actually suggesting taking Cima back to the ship

You people sicken me. She got all dressed up for Domscartes to have fun with him. Not to hang out with a bunch of smelly deck apes and greasy snipes.

>>38527690
>So... what now?
Want to go see a show?

>>38527690
"Why don't we continue this on the Nagato?" you ask. "Catrina and Carya seemed like they wanted to get to know you, and we've even got Matsunaga aboard. Could be fun."

After a moment's contemplation Cima nods, fishing a few notes from her purse. "That would be fine. I had wanted to talk to Matsunaga anyway, find out how the hell he even survived Solomon. What got him fighting beside the man who killed his friend, those sorts of details."

Once the tab has been paid off, you step out and hail a cab, which takes you back towards the dockyards. On the way, something unexpected happens... Cima unbuckles her seatbelt, shifting her way over towards you. Then she leans against you, resting her head gently against your shoulder.

"So," she mutters half to herself, "this is what it felt like to be young..."

And that's all for tonight. Thanks for playing, and the archive's up.

Tomorrow night, questions will be answered, plans will be made, Bright will slap somebody, and something interesting may happen with Cima.

>>38528247
>Bright will slap somebody
Well, you sure know how to keep us coming back, Hearts. Thanks for running. See you tomorrow.

GOD DAMNIT WHY. She got all dressed up too for it. /tg/ went full neutron star dense there.

This is why we can't have nice things.

>>38528350
It’s the first date and we're already taking her back to our place for a nightcap.

I think we did just fine.

>>38528350
>>38528462
In before we turn Cima into a Newtype?
Via the usual method of awakening.
SOCIAL LINKS.

>>38528247
At some point I want to call up Riddick and say "So, remember all that cash and gold you had me steal? And how most of it was supposedly destroyed?"

THEY WOULD HAVE WENT TO A DINNER AND A MOVIE AND THEN FUCKED.

Here's the thing: Cima doesn't need Dom to have sex. She's an assertive, sexually attractive, and powerful woman, and if that was all she wanted from Dominic things would have progressed so much faster and been so much simpler.

But that's not the "interesting thing" that may happen with her, because sex is a secondary objective at best. It would be a nice little bonus if it happened, but it's not what she's after.

You'll see what I mean tomorrow.

On the brightside, the Twins can be our wingwoman.

I'm sorry, but I can't help but to have SHADOWRUNS from what you just said.

But I'm still going to look forward to what's going to happen next on Domscartes's Bizarre Space Adventure.

>Bright will slap somebody
Is it Kamille? He's been lacking in terms of presence despite the fact that THREE Zeta type machines are up and running. I was almost worried the Paprikanus Scipio got to him first.

>something interesting may happen with Cima.
"Cima, you wouldn't mind if you let Carya's hands and fingers work their magic on your piano? It'll be quite a pleasing experience for you."

I can't help but feel like Char could use a Bright slap.
