Currently, you are now at Randgriz Castle, attending the first Europan War II Federation/Imperial Peace Conference. You shift uncomfortably, not used to wearing your military dress uniform. You never liked the damn thing, but protocol demanded that you wear it. At least with this getup you were able to bring in your "ceremonial" saber in addition to the knife and pistol hidden on your person. Thanks to General Wellings, you and your infiltration team were allowed to bring in weapons as long as they were concealed.

Sam, on the other hand, is nothing short of stunning. Grandma really did know how to get a dress done. You never did realize she looked so good in white, and you've often had to make sure you weren't staring at her for too long.

Meanwhile, Heloise and Tarin opted for black nightgowns, Ramirez was in a standard suit (which he looked just as uncomfortable wearing as you are), Isolde is in a military dress uniform, and Elizabeth is disguised as one of the waitstaff (not a maid, unfortunately. Cordelia did have standards, after all).

You all pass by the security checkpoint without issue, getting some quick winks from the guards as they "forget" to properly pat you down for weapons. General Wellings himself is there as well, keeping an eye on things.

"So.... I heard Karla was going to be here." Sam whispers to you. "What are you going to do?"

"If I end up in a situation alone with her I don't know what I'll do but it'll definitely be stupid and compromising. So, please stick close by?"

>>25998127
This so much.

Keep in mind Karla may be in on the attempt to sabotage the peace talks. A truce with the Empire would basically kill any chance of sovereignty Belka has left after all.

>>25998140
Well if she is we'll cross swords. Again.

>>25998140
Belkan Knights don't strike me as the type for assassination missions. If anything I think this might be Merc throwing us for a loop as we fight alongside...or at least not against the Belkan contingent

>>25998140
I was actually thinking she might be trying to sabotage the killers as well so peace could have a chance.

Then she could do the whole "Well we gave the Empire a try but all they gave us was death and war so oops we're independent again," shpiel.

>>25997975

>I'm not going to do anything. If we run into her, well, we'll see what happens.

Gotta be calm and cool, because really who didn't see this coming.

>>25998168
I don't think they would be either. But I would be surprised if there was only one plot to sabotage this thing.

>>25997975
"I'm not going to do anything." You assure her. "But if we run into her we'll see what happens."

"Okay." Sam nods. "Just remember I'm here to back you up."

"Thanks."

You then begin to scan the crowd, trying to pick out your targets.

She's definitely trying to get Belka's independence. That is, from what I can tell, the primary goal. Of course, if the Empire is weakened by war she has a greater chance. So she might be involved. However, if she can get some deal with the Federation, she may be able to get out of the Empire through the peace deal. But that might mean just switching sides over sovereignty. Who knows, it could really go either way.

>>25998245
Pfft... hahaha

In the crowd, you can only pick out the major players. Harling, the Emperor, and Nikanor, with their extensive entourages. You could probably go up to them effortlessly, but you also need to find other groups of interest as well.

>Oksy, now time to divy up duties! You can hit it up with one of the VIPs, do prorection duty, float through the party, investigate something, or hit up the bar. You got yourself, Sam, Tarin, Heloise, Ramirez, Elizabeth, and Isolde.

>>25998621
Have Sam and Yourself just mingle with the party guests at large, while Tarin covers Harling, Heloise covers Nikanor, and Ramirez the Emperor.

>>25998651
>>25998621
Good for me.

>>25998621
>Ramirez and Isolde prorection duty

>Heloise kill people with your sweet drinks at the bar

Question about the investigate something... Do we state what to investigate? If not, just put Tarin on. Otherwise I have no idea.

>>25998621
Tarin and Ramirez for Protection
Elizabeth and Heliose for investigation, look for suspicious people
We go with Sam to float through the party
Isolde can talk with the VIPs

>>25998621
Tarin and Liz look for points they would infiltrate from if they had to sneak it. Everyone else picks a VIP and keeps close.

>>25998651
This sounds good. Also get Elizabeth to do some snooping for any suspicious behavior as she has the best chance to see it.

>>25998651
good plan. MC, did we set up a sniper nest like we were talking about yesterday?

>>25998621
Elizabeth and Tarin on "Look for Assassins" since they're the people I'd pick to do that.

Jager and Sam Mingle.

Heloise Ramirez and Isolde on protection.

>>25998621
>>25998665
>Elizabeth
I forgot her. I'm not sure... investigate? And Move Tarin to Protection?

>>25998686
This is about right. Anyone having issues with posting?

>>25998621
Isolde and Ramirez on protection. Jager and Sam mingle. Heloise on Nikanor, Tarin on Emperor and Elizabeth investigates for suspicious behavior.

>>25998718
>Tarin on Emperor
A Darcsen on the Emperor? Ah I don't think it be a good idea.

>>25998674
>Tarin and Liz look for points they would infiltrate from if they had to sneak it
This. Use the sneaks to looks for sneaks. Use the people with good social skills, Sam and Isolde, to chat up the party, while Ramirez and Jager stay in reserve to respond to any trouble quickly.

>Challenge the Emperor to a high stakes poker match.

On a more serious note, anyone else suspicious about Harling - not like he'll be pulling the trigger but...

>>25998742
And Heloise takes bar

>>25998753
>HARLING: President Harling was formerly the president of Osea before being selected to be the President of the Federation. Initially believed to be a lame duck who wouldn't accomplish anything in office (which some theorized is why he was selected in the first place), Harling proved his opponents wrong by instituting many reforms, including promoting Darcsen civil rights and curbing runaway military spending. Currently opposes the war against the Empire.
Dude seems cool in my book. Got elected because people thought they could use him and turned out to be awesome.

>>25998766
Fuck, why didn't I think of that. Second.

>>25998766
I thought we were trying to save people's lives...

>>25998766
Do you want want to kill everyone in the room?

>>25998753
Our main concerns are Perrault and Hamilton from what I can tell.

>PERRAULT: The Perraults own a number of arms factories all across Europa, and produce everything from rifles to tanks. They are large supporters of the war.

>HAMILTON: The Hamiltons are an old military family, with the proud distinction (or curse, depending on your point of view) of having at least one family member fall in battle in ever major Europan war. Ultra-nationalist to the core, they firmly believe in the Federation's superiority over the Empire.

Maybe the Emperor too since his opinion is largely unknown.

>>25998831
Maybe...

The Hamiltons and Perraults are the ones most likely to be fucking things up and they aren't here (or we just can't see them).

What if they're trying to bomb the place?

>>25998856
Hope 'liz finds it?

Sooo what happened to baldren gassenarl? think he might try to take the castle back?

>>25998844
the Emperor as well. his death would keep the war on, too

>>25998856
We didn't get the best roll. It makes sense that we wouldn't find our main suspects. Also, Karla could be either or. Assassination isn't a Belkan thing but it would make sense if they wanted to support the war to weaken the Empire and gain sovereignty

>>25998873
Harling is the target.

>>25998871
doesn't matter-we have all his stuff

>>25998873
Or it could tear the Empire apart in power struggles...

>>25998897
We can't just guess that. We have to guard everyone here. All the dignitaries, anyway.

>>25998907
Welp. We know what Karla is after then.

>>25998621

Jaeger and Sam mingle. Isolde handles DA EMPRAH. Tarin to Harling. RAMIREZ ACCOMPANY HELOISE. HELOISE, give everyone diabetes. Liz stays with Cordelia.

>>25998871
We're not in his castle, we're in Randgriz.

>>25998897
They want to keep the war going, one way or the other.

I don't think they really care what happens so long as the Federation and Empire still hate each other.

>>25998919
Our mission is literally to guard Harling from an assassination attempt. What are you on about?

>>25998930
dis good

>>25998621
Ok, so here's how I see it:

Jager and Sam mingle.
Ramirez, Tarin, and Isolde pull protection.
Elizabeth tries to sniff for clues.
Heloise checks out the bar.

We Ace Combat 5 now?

>>25998940
secondary targets and Lynch trying to fuck us over

>>25998946
Sounds about right.

>>25998946
Yep.

>>25998953
>now

>>25998946
I can agree to this. I would prefer having Tarin look for infiltrators but Elizabeth can probably handle that on her own.

>>25998953
Bitch, we were Ace Combat since thread #3.

Primary suspect in my book is the ultra-Right family mentioned last time. Obviously they're not gonna go Sic Semper Tyranis, because that's silly, but that's probably where the attacks are getting their money from. There's probably bonus points if they can pin it on a Darcsen, so let's see if we can't keep regular humans on hover-round detail.

Also, avoid Karla like the fucking plague, as that will lead to distractions (for the assassin to take advantage of) and drama.

>>25998957
Now you're just being paranoid. What if we stretch ourselves too thin and fail our primary goal? The Emperor has his own men to protect him, and the rest won't incite the war like those two would.

>>25998946
Sounds good.

Ya'll know Nikanor could be a suspect even if he is chummy with Harling. Gotta suspect everyone, gotta plan for the worse.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5Fjc1hBwuE

I somehow imagine Jaeger and Karla making conversation.

>>25998953
Dude.

Did you not realize that we were called "DEMONS OF RANDGRIZ"?

Or the dozens of Ace Combat references everywhere?

>>25999013
True. But he has the absolute least to gain from it. He isn't the biggest supporter of peace out ideology, it's because his nation is getting the most damage out of this whole war.

>>25998990

Highly doubt Lynch would try to fuck us over... too hard.

I mean, he did tell us about this.

Also...

I'd imagine the Perraults are more interested in money than anything else. And that they'd pull off something silly like "MAN CARD" and "BULLETFUCKER 4600" than assassinate Harling.

The Hamiltons, though...who knows?

AND WHERE'S GASSERNARL

>>25999058
Doing whatever he did in VC2, since Merc has been very good about not breaking cannon in any way we can verify.

>>25999058
>GASSERNARL
Could he be the one? Naw, he's probably at Anthold...or is he?

>>25999058
GASSERNAAAAAAAAAAARL!!

>>25999072
Other than saving Vanilla Bitchtits.

>>25999058
Fighting Lanseal.

He's not a threat. I don't think he particularly cares about this either.

>>25999090
True, scuse me. But that's not a massive break.

>>25999072
Except renaming places.

>>25999090
I blame /tg/ dice for that one

>>25999090

STRAWBERRY BITCHTITS.

And it was Artya being SUPER AWESOME. With help from /tg/ dice.

>>25998621
Tarin and Ramirez both pose(?) as a couple and move their way over to Harling and Nikanor, who appear to be in a heated, but friendly, debate. Isolde actually manages to start chatting it up with the Emperor himself, which you find highly ironic considering she's technically a traitor to the Empire and all.Though the fact she was infinitely more attractive than the women in his entourage probably helped.

Elizabeth starts chatting it up with her new friend Elise.

Heloise meanders off tko the bar to try and grab intel from the assorted folk there.

"Shall we?" You say, taking Sam's hand.

"Lets." She grins.

> Who do you mingle with? Anybody specific or will you just wander?

>>25999132
She's vanilla now because of the Artificial Valk thing.

>>25999139
>Tarin and Ramirez both pose(?) as a couple
Ha ha, Merc.

>>25999139
just wander about.

>>25999139
Harling.

Stay close.

>>25999139
Let's look in on Hamilton and Perrault. We have a pretty big in with perrault as Mercs so we can pass off approaching them about weapon's deals before moving into some subtle probing.

>>25999139
>I wonder as I wander out under the sky[/spo.iler]

>>25999139

We gotta move in with the Perraults.

First up, weapons deals. Second, Qyburn.

Bonus points if Merc works in "Bullet Fucker" into the conversation.

>>25999139
Wander at first. See if anything comes of it.

>>25999139
Wander and try to stay between Harling and the suspects, but keep an eye out for Karla so she doesn't sneak up on us.

>>25999189

"Karla." "Jaeger." AD INFINITUM

>>25999201
If it happens... it happens. We're not getting out this without bumping into her, that much is known.

>>25999139
Let's talk to the Perraults for the mission and then maybe swing by the Archduchess since we know Granny dearest has something planned for us involving her.

>>25999201

>>25999280

DID ARTYA LOOT HIS BODY

I wish we could hear the Emperor's conversation.

Finding Hamilton or Perrault would be nice, but I doubt they would have any direct contact with their contracted killer.

This is like looking for a needle in a stack of needles. We'd probably have better luck looking for individuals who are by themselves or seem out of place. Also, it could be a team.

>>25999304

Harem? No, it's NTR.

Karla NTRs Sam awat from Jaeger, leaving him alone with his Var Mk2.

>>25999297
It's more likely there is no more Class Z shenanigans since there isn't a reason to deploy students anymore. Lanseal is still there and Matt and Artya are still enrolled.

>>25999297
Sadly.

Lanseal got closed down after the war.
Though if Novak's goal worked out then Matt and Artya might be performing security for the Archduchess right now.

>>25999358
But we did use them in a fight. Nabbed us a V2 in the process.

Wasn't this a plot point in that last Sherlock Holmes movie? Looking for the man who is so taken by his persona that he fails to act reasonably when the unexpected happens?

I say we follow in step and do something unexpected that will no doubt garner everyone's notice, like incapacitating the boy milling on the floor serving glasses of wine or having one of hte musicians no doubt providing music for hte event to miss a note or three.

>>25999397

What I really meant was we made it through to the end of the civil war without playing anything other than they attack on Lanseal.

I don't think violence or setting anything on fire would be prudent. Not only does it have a chance of souring the peace conference, but it might also cause confusion that an assassin would exploit.

Interrupting the band has potential.

Also, what about getting the crowd to participate in something? We are in a ballroom. A single minded individual with one objective would get visibly agitated if kept occupied with something else.

We may be looking for a Travis Bickle

>>25999659
You begin to home in on Elizabeth, feigning taking one of those fancy little cheeses on a stick.

"Find anything?" You ask.

"Well," Elizabeth whispers to you. "There's a lot of new waitstaff due to the size of this event. Plenty of opportunity to get a man, even a whole team, in."

"Shit." You breathe. "How would they do it?"

"Well, if they adhere to the curriculum Lynch set up, the perfect assassin would do the job up close, to confirm the kill. The most dangerous ones do it with no intention of escaping."

"That's... unsettling. Keep digging, alright?"

"Roger."

You then move off to the bar. Unfortunately, you see Heloise isn't doing much recon as she is flirting, with one person in particular. Even more unfortunately, the kid's wearing Belkan heraldry...

Goddamit, there's supposed to be a question mark there.

Would approaching this situation include "Christ it's a Karla, get in the car!"

>>26000124
>Stay calm and approach the situation logically.

>>26000329
Since we're approaching logically, I think that means we are taking in the possibility that Karla is nearby.

Williams! That's his name.

I'm worried about interfering demoralizing her, cosnidering how we let Alex hook up with an ex-imperial.

>>26000387
It could. But we're in the middle of a mission. She'll probably still be upset because apparently she is that desperate(unless William knows something and she is trying to seduce it out of him) but she'll understand why we prodded her.

>>26000387
Can we approach the situation logically without clock blocking?

>>26000124
>Let this play out.
if she starts saying things she shouldn't, then hop in

>>26000417
I think it's the other way around considernig Williams is pretty wet behind the ears

>>26000434
Dunno but I'm hoping that's the case.

>>26000124
> Stay calm and approach the situation logically.
> Let this play out.
Flirting gets good info, don't you know. Plus Heloise might finally find the person for her.

>>26000387
Can we logically not clock block her?

>Cap cha - saocolo her

>>26000445
She's ignoring a vital mission to flirt with a man from an enemy nation. I kind of see that as a bit desperate unless she's got a reason to believe the dude has info.

"Aw, that's so sweet." Sam says. "Besides, you know, him being an Imperial and all..."

"It's only going to end in tears." You shake your head.

"Hey, don't say that!" Sam laughs. "Alek hooked up with an Imp and look how that turned out! You can't let one bad experience poison everything else! Besides, maybe she's just playing him for info."

"If only I could believe you that much." You sigh. "Come on, let's go see how bad it is."

As you draw closer, you can see Heloise and the Belkan squire hitting it off pretty good. They're talking about economics, of all things. You can't even begin to comprehend how they enjoy talking about that stuff.

"Heloise! How are things going?" You say, trying to keep a smile on your face.

"Oh, hey Captain!" Heloise waves cheerfully. "You won't believe this, but there's a bunch of Belkan knights here, too! Squire Williams here was telling me all about them earlier!"

Though Erik being here and us encountering him right now rather than Karla is pretty likely considering that we ARE talking to his squire after all.

>>26000660
"Really? Tell me more." You say, obviously interested. If Karla really was here, it would be helpful to know who was in her entourage.

"Well, there's the Grand Master and Princess of Belkla, Karla Hohenzollern, who's probably the best knight in the world." Williams nods. "And with her is the second greatest knight ever, Sir Erik Schnee, the Phoenix Knight!"

"The Phoenix Knight?" You ask,. You've heard a bit about him, but nothing concrete.

"Oh yeah, he's like, one of the most hardcore knights in Belka. He's fought in the most battles, is nearly undefeated, and literally can never die."

"Charming." You sigh.

"Well, that was really helpful. I'll leave you two to it, then." You say. You've honestly wasted enough time here. There was still the mission to worry about. In a fit of paranoia, your eyes dart around, looking for Karla, but thankfully she's nowhere in sight.

You and Sam both meander your way over to Harling, who's still busy talking it up with his constituents. However, when he catches sight of you, his expression immediately brightens.

"Ah, you must be the famous Jager Sturmfuhrer!" Harling shakes your hand and turns to Sam, kissing hers. "And you must be Samantha Wellings. It's a pleasure to meet both of you."

"You know, I was wondering." You say, sipping your drink casually. "You don't get many opportunities to ask the President of the Federation himself, but how has the overall war been going, and how do you feel about it? You don't have to tell me anything secret or anything."

"To put it honestly? The whole thing is a mess." Harling sighs. "We're currently stalemated at the Round Table, which changes hands almost daily. It's one of the few effective routes to push into the Empire, so naturally both sides want it. We lose thousands of good men every day."

"So I take it you're not a big supporter of the war."

"It doesn't take a genius to realize that. Half the Federation is out for my head." Harling laughs lightly. "What gain do we have continuing this war? We've already pushed the Imperials well past our original borders. Unfortunately, many powerful men disagree with my views."

"I heard." You nod. "Such as Perrault and Hamilton?"

"Oh yes, them." Harling sighs. "Perrault is at least somewhat bearable. He's a businessman through and through, which makes him somewhat predictable. He'll go with the path that gives him the most profit. Hamilton? He's a pure fanatic. Impossible to reason with, really."

"So what are the chances of peace?" Sam asks.

"With Nikanor's support? I think we can get something tangible within the year. Not by the end of this peace conference, of course, but getting through this conference would put the foot in the door."

"And how about he Emperor? What's your opinion on him?" You ask, motioning to the elderly man, confined to a large, mobile and very ornate throne, who's still hitting it up with Isolde.

"He's a very pragmatic man, is all I can say." Harling frowns. "Now that his forces have lost the initiative, he knows he's not going to get an upper hand in this war. He might not be a big believer in peace, but I think we can convince him to put an end to this war."
