Visit the academy. Let the agents find you, don't go to them. coordinate with as many allies as you can before then.

If they want to talk, then they come to us. Ambushing us at our house is unacceptable.

Well, if they are waiting for you that IS a reasonable place to wait.

You ask if Paul has a secret cashflow or anything.

Nah, don't got that. Cases like yours are more about fulfilling a contract. I do know someone in the infirmary who is a wizard with implants, they owe me a favor.

>>1123078
You ask what could be keeping you indentured.

It's usually one of three things, prison, money, implants. All 3 apply here on this damned planet. If you're indentured via debt then the jobs here will pay that off. If you're indentured for a prison sentence then this is a high risk zone that'll clear that, either you go free or you die. If it's tech and implants, then you're under a contract to test some experimental BS and this is just the kind of high chaos zone needed for it.

Well that's pleasant.

My recommendation, visit my pal in the Infirmary, they'll get you tuned up and hopefully unlock some memories for you. By the way what company do you work for anyways? Different corps have their reasons so...

Do you tell him or just thank him and move on?

A. Stay away until dark.

You just fled from a stealth predator. A determined, professional stealth predator. Don't assume he lost track of you by the time you entered the forest. He could be following your trail right now.

That's why your instincts are warning you away from the comfort of your friends: the chameleon didn't shoot you because he wanted to follow you back to your friends and finish you all off at once. You need to lure him into the trap, or at least make sure he's not following you, before you rejoin the others.

You did set up a trap, right? Weren't the others supposed to be hiding somewhere to shoot him?

Magic in Jung's understanding

In closed studies on plasma, bioplasma, UFO and poltergeist phenomena conducted in the 1960-70s in the USA and USSR, such phenomena were proposed to be considered from the point of view of Markov chains, when the state of the system does not depend on its prehistory. A broader interpretation implies independence from the external environment. This approach in the USA was, for example, implemented at the Batelle Memorial Institute, and in the USSR within the framework of psychotronics at the IKEM. Proponents of the approach postulate that this is a fundamental principle of the universe. To implement this principle, either the system itself or a large number of its possible states, the number of degrees of freedom, must be recognized by the observer, since for the observer any external system is fundamentally uncertain. However, the super-complexity of the system, according to some researchers, actually implies that it itself has consciousness, acting as an accomplice for the observer. The observer must also be complex in terms of the level of organization and diversity of his consciousness in order to distinguish as many subtypes of the phenomenon as possible, or at least assume the possibility of this. That is, Markov chains in this understanding are the conceptual legalization of quantum laws in the macrocosm. It is worth noting that in recent years many physicists consider plasma to be a quantum object at the macro level. Within the framework of Soviet psychotronics, M. Lavrentyev suggested that reality is formed by a set of observers who must have a certain level of complexity in their consciousness. For the individual observer, other people, according to Lavrentiev, are also part of his consciousness, which he must endow with complexity. People are important because they are the ones who introduce the description of the world, describing what can exist and what cannot exist. Therefore, people from religious famili

I'm still sticking to my suggestion of Dizelu since I think it's important to talk to him considering everything, but I will say if we leave that cat alone, and spy rat survives, there's a chance spy rat will end up in Vance's world, and we could get some info about the place he lives at, which I don't know is a good thing or a bad thing considering where he came from.

"Aye, good idea Lisel. You and Kh'khechil go in a few paces, then we'll fall upon them as they pass. All in agreement?" you ask, looking to the others. Nods all around, and Cedric pulls the chain taught between his hands, grinning an angry little grin. "Aye indeed. Quick and clean, just how I like it."

As Lisel follows the beetle through the rent in the venting she hands you her lantern. "Flash the ghouls when they get here. It should confuse them, and give me something to aim at." You accept the device, stowing it under your cloak to conceal it's harsh light.

"You said your acid thrower is almost out." You say, worried the chemist will be unarmed. "Take my knife." She shakes her head, patting your arm. "Too heavy for me, Tem'rty. But worry not, I'm not without my own tricks." She slips a hand into her sleeve and pulls out a dagger. Its small, but looks quite sharp. "Best not to let them get close though. I'm counting on you." With a soft smile she turns and vanishes into the dark vent.

Lisel might not be able to wield a long knife, but in your condition you don't feel like you're much able to either. Wordlessly you offer the weapon to Dis, and she trades you the severed spider blade she's holding. Its a jagged, brutal thing, made of some coppery metal. You suppose it will suffice.

You barely hear them moving in there, yet they aren't gone for even a second before you hear a shrill bat cry echo down the metal hall. You wait by the hole, listening as the sound of claws come rushing closer, wicked sharp points scraping discordantly. When they sound uncomfortably close, you whip the lantern out and illuminate the vent.

Perpetuity Thread 3A: END

Call the park rangers. They have enough manpower to help us immediately, and will not draw much extra attention with their movements. Tell them to bring something that can hide someone's appearance. Fur dye would work, and a chance of clothes. The plan is for the rangers to take her into custody and interview her to gather more evidence against the "poachers", escalating the situation to the local police if needed.

The rangers can obscure their actions by pretending to administer first aid to Dente for getting injured in the mines. We know it's dangerous in there.

I wouldn't involve more people than are already involved. Call the studio

(edited)
Also, I think we should ask how her paws got injured before we call anyone, especially the park rangers. the Donkey Pickford said it was sharp rocks from not wearing shoes, but if she says a different reason, Pickford, or Dente could be lying, potentially meaning some if not all the park rangers might not be trustworthy if its Pickford.

Also, don't mention what Pickford said until she answers. That might influence what she answers

>>1123049
Im not sure who to call.
Band would take time.
Rangers are closer but authorities of any kind are going to panic dente.
Theres a small chance, very slim, of rangers being connected to something bad and while i doubt that paranoid little impulse, i cant completely leave it unacknowledged.

One thing we have to remember is dente has already been in the caves and we dont know why.

The other is, this dumbass may panic and flee into the mines the second we make the call so put on you mental running shoes.

I now notice that Lana seems worried about something nearby. We should get moving fast, no time for more questions.

I already suggested the park rangers, but when we call them, we shouldn't say too much over the radio. Tell them that our girlfriend's leg is acting up and we'd like a ride back to their station. That won't give us away to anyone listening; we'll tell them more when we have time.

>look up what is happening on the outer colonies?
The Outer colonies Current situation

The colonies, that had been a point of pride of the Alliance, as the first cooperative project between all members of the Alliance, had been for the most part abandoned in the last decades, as the Alliance focused their resources less in exploration and expansion, and more on reconstruction after the war.

The colonies had been left mostly to fend off by themselves, with only token assistance as essential supplies were delivered, or through different patrols that ensure the safety of the colonies, at least against larger threats. The colonies themselves though, quickly saw themselves regressing to lower industrial and technological levels, many colonists abandoning their homes and moving to the edge worlds as refugees. The most affected of these were the few colonies that had just began growing at the start of the war, the ones who made first contact with the Baktre Hegemony, and as such found themselves in the middle of the war.

While the reconstruction took most of the Alliance resources, the Alliance itself never abandoned the colonies, though this didn’t help the feelings of abandonment and resentment many of the colonies had towards the alliance itself.

>Ask if there's anything interesting over in the Aoemi Sector.
Kadmian: “Ah, well, from what I gathered, before the war, the Aoemi sector, and the system of the same name, was an important hub connecting to several other sectors under colonization at the time. It became a meeting point for the colonists, and a supply warehouse to ensure the colonies would continue growing… It had to be evacuated and abandoned during the war as the Alliance was pushed back, but even then, the old warehouses soon became a sort of safe-house for the few that had to be left behind, both colonist and troops…

Now, those old warehouses were preserved, even once the rebuilding started. They are planning on making it a museum of sorts, about the war, and about the story of the survivors and refugees of that time. I’ll be working on some new warehouses and logistic depots that are being built in the same planet. Personally, I’m glad that’s the case, even if it would be more time and effort on my part… I’d feel weird stacking boxes in what used to be a home for people who lost theirs…”

And just as I was about to continue, the sound of the door to the colonel’s office sliding open silenced everyone...

Col. Santios: “Alright! You got your assignment. Now Move it! We are behind schedule!”

The familiar yelling of our esteemed and clearly stressed colonel suddenly roars through the hallway, as one of my classmates rushes out of the office, I don’t even have time to tell who it was, as they ran through the hallway, presumably to do their final preparations before leaving the system.

Col. Santios: “Alright… how many more are there…?

He quickly takes a glance a each and every one of us. None of us speaks up.

Col. Santios: Good… Give me 5 minutes, I got a priority call. In the meantime, all of you stay here. Including you, Sub-lieutenant Kadmian, since it seems you have nothing better to do, you might as well hear the briefing since it will be concerning you as well.”

And without further explanation, he closes the door and a deafening silence fills the hallway.

Kadmian: “Heh… Well, this looks interesting. Delma doesn’t know what she’s missing.”

>…

Check the perfume to see if it's something you wouldn't mind smelling like. Dab some on yourself if it's ok.

send Delma a text letting her know she has five minutes to get here. Probably won't do anything but it would be kind of funny to think she'll rush her out of breath thinking she was missing something important.

It's got three legs. Cut one and it won't be able to stand. Also of note, it can only fire in one direction. So if someone provokes a shot and gets behind cover, the other two can advance.

So I think the fastest of us should pop out and get it to aim, then hide behind cover while the other two rush in to strike at one of its legs. Presumably Silv is not the fastest of us so she can try to get off her spell and disable it.

Use Tremor to block its second shot if it gets to fire one.

Silv, no matter how much i beg, do not become distracted and use us like an airguitar...

Ok! The quick drawing fire is good, but remember lasers are too fast to dodge, so we cant be too far back... but it still has to pivot to aim so theres a sweet spot where it cant stomp on you and youre too close and fast to bring firing apeture into alignment...

Whover takes the position is taking a risk, but thatll let the strikers get in close to hit.

If Silv can get close she can target the laser with breakpoint, then a faster team member can go for the battery.

Galena and Mel should break from cover and circle around the runeling in opposite directions. Move fast and give it multiple targets. When it's facing away Silv can run in close.

>>1123020
>If Silv can get close she can target the laser with breakpoint
Galena's pretty strong, think she can fastball-special Silv?

>>1122995
Can Galena hold and carry some rubble to help shield your approach? Keeping it at an angle should help the shield tank the blast. And if the power supply is unstable, it may be prone to failures or needing to recharge, which could create an opening to get in Breakpoint range.

>>1122751
Oh, i'm terribly sorry, did you want to be the one to do it? Use your head, for once.

We arrest him, then what? We put him in a cell and wait for trial that would have had the same result anyway? The evidence is all around us. We were put on this mission to find him and bring him to justice. This WAS as much justice as we could afford. My entire assumptions about him were correct, he had people on the inside of this organization. The longer he stayed alive, the more chances they had to break him out. The Silent Whispers needed him alive and to succeed. Now he's dead and we've thrown a monkey wrench in their plans. I guarantee had we kept him alive for any longer they would have used their powers to break him out and we would have been right back at square one. They are probably on their way now, or at least are beginning to go into hiding as we speak, some are probably watching us right now.

Now get your hands off me, or do what you need to do.

I seem to be fine. Frankly I'm surprised we didn't all die.

If you and your people are willing to cooperate with us, I can maybe see about getting you to operate as free agents provided you assist in cleaning up any rogue spirit parasite activity. Having someone who can control them would be extremely useful.

If they have any sense they'll really want you after all your help here. I worry they won't because they haven't seemed very smart or competent so far.

but if you want to go for it then I support you.

no cold logic, hot logic. Simmering anger and restlessness are the only thing keeping us going right now. Keep that boiler stoked or we will pass out again.

It's best to trust them for now, if they turn on me... well I guess I'll just have to deal with that.

Fuze is waiting for my approval, I give it. "good enough"

I turn to leave but I stop short and turn "Do you know what a boiler is?"

Fuze chuckles "I suppose you aren't talking about heating water..."I give him a silent stare for that one, he sigh and removes his glasses to clean them "Ahem well, there isn't any official classification it seems to lump in a number of symptoms and can occur under a plethora or stress induced situation, but to put it bluntly most doctors classify a 'Boiler' as someone undergoing a type of degenerative battle frenzy, it's considered very rare in actuality and the term is more commonly applied as a sort of slang insult between low class Astranians. does that help?"

>>1122857
Degenerative how?

What are the symptoms?

>>1122857
That... kinda makes sense.
However, i suspect its considered degenerative because of the rarity. Not enough victins to fully understand and no real will to find a way to treat it. Also seems like a catch all phrase.

I have my suspicions but theyre irrelevent to this, so, back on the short terms goals and step by step thinking.
Ace pilot oken needs to be in that control room.
Time to move out.

This is it.
C, with both hands. Throw the gun to Vi if you have a general idea of where she is.

C) both hands, if you can shift it to the side just enough that he goes past your head and plunges it into the ground then he's finished.

>>1122978
Yeah! This!

As you hold the spear with both of your hands, use your tail to throw the gun at Vi. Or try to hold the spear with your teeth and throw the gun with your free hand.

They all have it.
C.
Gun to vi.
Both hands.
Hold the bastard in place.

Hopefully the pack will start shooting too because as much as you are held in place, so is he.

>>1122734
Boss.
As much as i hunger to see you at your most, well, ~you~ , the primal world isnt right. It behooves me to suggest the one you should take not the one i want.

So I say The Dungeon of Akamak the Oasis-Seeder.
Its a place that you can show your depths as well as strengths without relying on your full power unleashed which im sure your sweet angel already knows.

The idea of both of you using your abilities to overturn a techno distopia is too good an idea to use yourself. Its a perfect date as other souls have stated.

Pirates pirates pirates! Yarr!

the oasis seeder seems like the best one as far as who deserves to be taken down a peg. And who knows, prehaps you could find a way to influence him for the better along the way.

eat the rich

I vote The Dungeon of Akamak the Oasis-Seeder; Eat the Rich sounds like a good date time (sequel maybe?)

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't argue with myself."

"No no, its... its understandable." Slime picked up Crow and started staggering off. "Oof. Let's take some time to get used to it. Good luck with the grove!"

"Good luck with... crows!" Slime walked over to get a better look at the nest.

"Hey Squirrel, hey guys. Can I help?" Slime asked. A chorus of bug voices answered. "Build us something!" "Yeah! like a stream!" "Or a place to keep seeds in." "Something like that!"

Meanwhile Slime and Crow were winging their way to the orchard.

"So there's two of you now?" Crow asked, giving Slime the side eye.

"More or less." Slime dithered "I mean we're both still Slime, just in two places, if that makes sense."

"It doesn't really. That isn't going to happen to me is it?"

"I... don't think so."

" It better not. I'm pretty much the best crow, and I don't need competition. Speaking of..."

Up ahead were two trees near the orchard fence, each with a crowd of yelling crows. Crow had to shout to be heard. "Right, my crew is those pretty crows in the taller tree." Crow indicated a group that to Slime looked identical to the other one. "So if you'll just, you know, do your thing- ah caw! Here comes trouble."

From the orchard a V formation of drones was headed straight towards the corvid gathering. Crow glared "I hate those big bugs. They're always trying to blow their nasty poison clouds at us poor crows. Come one lets do something before they get here."

(you can suggest for both instances of Slime)

>>1122896
Taller tree. Uh. Right.

Instructions unclear, made all the crows smart so they have the sense of mind to negotiate with eachother.

Let nature take its course, it doesn't need our intervention.

Crow slime:
Continue the march to crow war! Go to the tree that crow #1 gestured towards, absorb the crows and then make them immune to pesticide. Then, modify their wings to be more dexterous and usable as hands. Finally, give them instructions on how to create primitive weaponry (spears, clubs, bows, etc.).

This is optional, but you may want to make them swear fealty to you, so they don't turn against you.

Fox slime:
Having hundreds of bugs yell instructions at you isn't going to work for very long. The bugs need to build a parliament, which then votes on what should be done next. In the meantime, conscript Squirrel to help you build a seed depot. You can't really make a stream without a source of water, and you certainly can't dig without uprooting a few grasses.
