You're lunch with Sanna and Goldie goes rather well.
As it turns out, they didn't really risk exile or anything, just temporary imprisonment while Giovanni dealt with the bureaucracy.
Kind of bothers you though that they were asleep around the time that you were outside of the dome risking your life. It was a lot scarier than you thought it would be.

The woman and how quickly she had thought to kill you. Ni'Aras, the monster that speaks. He's still out there isn't he? The rest of them too. And... The murderer you never found.

When Goldie and Sanna hear about that, they both get really quiet.

"So there was an esper monster out there. It..." He trails off, seeming to think better of what he'd say next. Especially with your full attention.
"It what Goldie?" You say, sipping at some light berry juice, diluted from a concentrate.
"Nothing." He shuts up, and stuffs his mouth full of lettuce leaves.

"Tha's not gonna make us not pry ya know. If ya didn' want us sayin' nuthin' ya shoulda kept yer clap shut." Sanna points at him with her words garbled by half-chewn insects."
Goldie swallows down the salad and grabs his tray," Yeah, I guess the weed is right." In the next moment- he's gone.
"Poor sport, aint he?"
"Kind of," You give her a neutral response.
Your thoughts are kind of wrapped up in the results of the mission. Boss said you did good. You're back here alive, but something just doesn't quite feel right.
Was anything resolved?

Sanna's eyes perk up, her eyes transfixed on something,"Oh, hey Bruisey. You here to shadow Ceru since yer done sweat'n?"

Your ears flick, and you turn to see Bruise's face inches from yours. You reflexively lash out in terror, yet your claws touch nothing from his evasion.
"Good to see you still quick as ever Ceru," His deep voice is good to hear. He's been a friend to you for well over a year, and he's grown so much.

Bruise easily stands about as tall as most of the adults. He was alwats a couple years ahead, but it's really apparent now.

You go red beneath the fur as you remember what happened at your birthday.

Why.

You pout a little, he made you react like Kitty. You're not Kitty. You don't want to be Kitty.
But in light of recent near-death experience?

"Hey Bruise." You still bear a bit of a pouty lip, your eyes a bit downcast.
You motion to Goldie's empty chair.
"Wanna sit down? We've got a spot?" You give him a glimmer of a smile.
Kiss or not, this guy's still your friend,"How was your day?"

At that, Sanna puts her hands on the table, and rises, leaning forward a bit,"Well, I'ma get goin'. Leave you two lovebirds to do your thing, see ya!"

Bruise reaches out to her, as if for her not to leave,"H-hey wait, what are you-" He gives up, and puts the same hand over his forehead, rubbing it down to his mouth with his eyes pressed shut. His gray skin heats a little darker.
"Ahhh." He grabs the back of a chair and forces it out to meet him as he takes a seat," Look, I wanted to apologize about that Cerulean."

You sip at your drink idly, avoiding eye contact,"Uh. huh." Honestly, this is just too embarassing. You didn't want to talk about this.

"So, I'm sorry, okay? You forgive me?" He offers you a hand, and you kind of look at it. You can see the dirt on his fingers from the training fields, and the excessive callouses he's gained over his time here.You have your own fair share.

We are over it, but its not a reason to not use it as an excuse to torture him a little.

>>29446445
well, there's a difference between punishment and just hassling him. I don't mind hassling, just nothing mean spirited.

He's not going to live this down for a while, because it's hilarious. Downside is we -also- won't live it down for a while.

i could do this

In the end, he at least decided to apologize, it's a very grown up thing to do after all. Bruise is pretty much a grown up after all.

You extend your own hand to meet his for the handshake.

He kind of breathes a sigh of relief,"I'm glad we're-"
You angle your other hand up from your cup and give it kind of a squeeze, blasting a reasonable amount of cold water over him.
Your mutual handshake is paused as he sits there, dripping water, eyes closed.
"Cerulean?"

"I accept your apology Bruise."
he nods slowly, like a trooper, ignoring the shivers that must be up and coming at this point,"Good then."
You feel his hand loosen and slip from yours as he stands, dripping water all over the floor.
"I'm going to change."

You take another sip of your drink,"Alright then Bruise."

You hear some other rockets laugh around you. Your ears pick up little things from the crowd.
"Ooo, lover's quarrel!"
"No wonder she's called the Ice Queen..."
"Omigod, I can see his-"

Seems everyone already knows about what happened...

After Bruise leaves, you throw away your drink and head out of the cafeteria. Well, you haven't been told to resume training. For all it's worth, you could have a few more days off. You only spent two days out of the week for investigation.

You kind of wonder how Devon's doing.. Or Lilac. Though you should probably also report to boss. He might be busy around this time though...

Hey brutus

Greetings to you as well Anon.

>>29447764
Any milotics round here?

As you leave the cafeteria, your reflect a bit more on the mission, thinking of how it all started. Lilac, the ghost, Chuck-
Your eyes go wide and you grip at your sleeve YOU FORGOT ABOUT CHUCK!

You book it, sprinting through the rocket dorms to where you last left him. Throwing open the door, you don't see him there.
You kind of stare for a moment.

No, yeah, he was there. You left him there.
You close the door. Open the door. Nope, still not there.

You hear the ping of an intercom,"Cerulean, please report to the Leader's Office. Cerulean, please report to the Leader's Office-"

Oh crap, you're not in trouble right? You're totally not in trouble. No, he's just going to tell you what good job you've done and pat you on the head, or talk about how he needs to do something about Devon, and- Oh Arceus, you're in trouble, aren't you?

===================================

You gently open the door to Boss's office after being checked in by the human secretary, whom gave you an idle glance,"He said to go right in Cerulean."
And so, you are. Inside, you see Boss at first, then off to the side, sitting upright and proper, one leg folded over the other, the gray suitskirt, the blonde hair done up in a tight bun, and her blue eyes immediately falling upon you.

"Your people could be a bit hastier Giovanni. Though she's here sooner than before." Miss Seraphis pushes a loose strand of hair from her face, a trickle of sweat existing upon the sheen of her forehead.
"Seems that instant gratification is too slow for your liking." Giovanni adjusts his tie.
There's a perfume in the air.

"Y-you called to see me, sir?"
Giovanni nods, gesturing over to Seraphis with a bit of a smirk,"Indeed, I've told Seraphis of yours and Devon's experiences outside of the dome. The truth is safe with her regarding the..."

"Breach of security." Seraphis glares at Boss from the corner of her eye.
She clears her throat," It was well beyond my expectation that this error as turned out as such. Silph bears similar responsibility for the breach of security and public trust, which is why this must remain confidential."
She continues,"Your... Boss, seems to also have in mind your opinion on what should be done. Take heed, that your decision holds minute sway over what we of Silph and the Rangers' League intend to do about this threat to our interests."

>Well?

>>29447871
Kill. Them. All.

Not really though, Lets suggest capture.

>>29447871
I was sooort of hoping this was about chuck.

What should be done about what? We sort of walked in mid-conversation.

We should really catch that crossbreed that's been getting into the dome, I guess.

>>29447871
>Rangers' League
is this a union?

i dont like unions

>>29447871
So is this where the rogue Espeon excuse can be proposed?

>>29447871
Kill them except the hybrids.

Capture them alive for study.

>>29447871
Is this the part where we start making up excuses about espeons to grab for power?

Cause Giovanni already mobilized the kill squads.

>>29447942
>Pokemon League
>Ranger's League

>>29447997
>>29447962
Yes. Yes you can.

>>29447937
Just wait.

>>29447997
she knows about it.

but we should tell her to maybe use the espeon excuse for the public and list the many reasons supporting it.

>>29447871
capture if you can
kill if you must

>>29448021
is the pokemon league just the Elite 4 and their entourages?

like mom and her ice buddies?

What are you talking about?

Espeon excuse?

>>29448021
I hate to go off topic, but what actually is an Evil implant? Is it a gland? Or... what?

>>29447871
Rogue Espeon cover up

>>29448021
then lets mention it

>>29448029
>she knows about it.
I know. I was saying that we could suggest public damage control now.

>>29448055

Elite four is Indigo Plateau
Gyms are Ranger League.

>>29447871
Capture Hybrids for study if possible.

Main objective should be the elemination of the threat by any means.

>>29448070
probably

>>29447871
Well, first of all, we should, er, recover chuck. He was fired from the sylph case, and we had him here for protective custody as he was an important witness and had psychic damage, but he's, uh... missing.

>>29447871
It seems like all the human inhabitants are there due to extensive hypnosis on the part of Ni'Aras, so I'd say that if possible they should be taken alive, though we understand that that might be very difficult.

Is it possible that Ni'Aras uses the same style of mental suggestions for everyone?

>>29448021
Also this is the perfect time for rogue Espeon excuse like others have suggested.

>>29448021
>Yes. Yes you can.
Well I mean Boss already sent people to wipe out the rest of the village.

We should go with the Espeon thing as a means to grab for more power for the rangers.

I'd also like to suggest an increase in the number of Evil-type rangers to deal with rogue or enemy espers.

>>29448090
im guessing it takes approval from the ranger league to get to indigo plateau?

>>29448130
>I'd also like to suggest an increase in the number of Evil-type rangers to deal with rogue or enemy espers.
I'd also like this. There isn't an Evil gym, but perhaps increasing the population is something they should look into. Espers are horribly broken with how rare Mediums are and there not actually being many Evil rangers.

>>29448108
No, I was wondering what the hell they were talking about when they refered to rogue espeons.

>>29448170
>>29448130
but esper monsters are incredibly rare and almost always flee

>>29448184
someone else explain this, i do not have the patience

>>29448184
Revealing the extent of this breach would be bad, thankfully we caught it early enough that a different story can be told.

Instead of them the public about the Esper village this is treated as an isolated incident performed by a rogue espeon whose master died. It catches people's heartstrings and explains what happened well enough that the public will buy it.

>>29448197
Except this time. You know, when one spent 10 years abducting kids from the dome and then its filthy spawn came in and killed and stole.

Totally not a big problem that needs to be prevented from happening again.

Totally no way said spawn of hypno is still alive and might be angry.

>>29448215
we plan on pinning the blame for the psychic problems on somebody who didn't put his evee down in time and allowed it to become an espeon.

This is to prevent the populace from knowing about monsters getting into the dome without the rangers knowing about it.

>>29448078
And a follow-up to this, what's your view, Ygg, on someone running their own, smaller, AoPH game? Just between some friends and not involving /tg/?

>>29447871
The leader of the tribe has apparently been taking citizens from our dome and using its powers to hypnotize them into becoming loyal to him. He does not seem to have any hostile intentions towards the dome, however, the hybrid born from its union with the esper he had kidnapped is dangerous. When we harmed the esper, the monster reacted angrily at our actions. It seems likely that if we pursue the hybrid, it may cause him to act.....rashly.

If it and its son were capable of sneaking into the dome for years without anyone taking notice, we just can't ignore them.

A question. Have the rangers ever met other 'intelligent' monsters like these before? How did our interactions with them in these incidents go?

>>29448215
Basically when all this started we came up with the idea to blame rogue espeons as it would increase public awareness to get you eevee everstoned and boost the public's view on rangers

>>29448242
That seem like a perfectly reasonable plan then.

>>29447871
Mention that both Devon and ourselves know what the Hybrid smells like. And if we still have a hair sample, maybe that can be passed around to other talented trackers?

>>29448284
this

>>29448284
yes,ask to be included in the clean up mission

>>29448284
we also know what the drowzee smells like

>>29448078
It's a part of brain/gland that gets inserted that works to convert the chemistry of the brain as a whole as it "evolves"

>>29448253
I'd be a bit flattered. Tell me how it goes, I love tabletop storytimes.

>>29448264
>A question. Have the rangers ever met other 'intelligent' monsters like these before? How did our interactions with them in these incidents go?

There haven't been reports to date of monsters possessing this level of intellect. At least, not in contact.
It's been theorized that the flighty "Abra" monster may be related to an unknown species that hasn't been encountered...

>The plan?

>>29448429
>>The plan?
Blame the problem on a rogue espeon, send a cleaning thing to destroy the village.

Capture the hybrid alive.

>>29448429
>Somewhere out there is an entire tribe of Abras and Kadabras ruled by a ancient elder Alakazam

>>29448429
espeon excuse, ask to be included in clean up, suggest capture if we can and kill if we cannot

>>29448429
>Blame espeons to the public
>Suggest an increase in Evil-type rangers to deal with future hostile Espers
>Capture the hybrid alive while killing the rest.

>>29448499
yes

>Send an expedition to the village
>capture as many as possible alive
>deprogram them
>kill any that resist beyond a Ranger's capabilities so safegaurd them

>Track down and kill the hybrid. It's a killer.

>>29448429
So he's asking us what we think we should do with the threat?

Well, let's see. How far have we explored the world? We've been trapped in the domes for a long time, right? If we're hard up for information on the outside world, we could attempt to reach some sort of compromise with the monster. While it's kidnapped people from the dome and stolen materials from Silph, it does not necessarily want to attack anyone from our dome.

>>29448429
These. I don't really want to be included in the cleanup. It would just lead to arguments about killing them or not.
>>29448476
>>29448525

>>29448429
Bring up the Espeon plan for explaining this to the public.

Agree with boss about the need to deal with the village, suggest capture of the Hybrid if possible. Bring up the possibility that the Hybrid or Ni'Aras aren't be in the village currently and that sweeping the Dome for traces of them could be worthwhile.

Mention that Ni'Aras knows a lot about the outside world from his travels, but capture and interrogation would be extremely problematic.

>>29448429
Capture if possible, kill if necessary.

>>29448429
Well, there's been a few sessions already. It's taking place in Unova, the GM doesn't know a ton about Pokémon besides X/Y, so he made a lot of the Pokémon stuff historical figures. No Iris as the Opelucid gym leader, for example.

Anyway. To sum up? Through some incredible rolling, I got an Axew for my hybridization, then I convinced a slightly psychotic but highly skilled and respected ranger to tutor me. I quickly ended up the top of my class!

Then, during my big test (like Cerulean in the forest) I and my team had to survive in a 'Hazard Orchard' for 72 hours. Scoring was based on Pokemon killed and captured, most people are expected to take on little stage one monsters, like Pidove and shit. A single capture was worth enough 'points' to insure your passing. Well, I captured a Tepig, a Pidove, and two Sewaddles, and killed a Watchog and a Pignite.

Got so many points they let me pick a second augment. I picked Deino. Which is why I was wondering about the whole 'Evil implant' thing.

It might sound a little mary-sueish, but I got so many incredible rolls, I earned it. I rolled like for 20s in the fight with the Pignite.

>>29448592
For most of the population it isn't worth the risk to try and capture them, the Hybrid might be worthwhile due to his scientific value, random brainwashed civvies aren't worth it.

So how much exp did we get?

And when will the Monster index be updated again?

>>29448615
What system you using

>>29448429
slay the psions leading the village, then either rescue/kill the rest, depending on situation of the cleanup crew.

>>29448429
This is the perfect time to mention that those who train with "Evil" moves should be equiped with a item that helps against Espers.

Yes, I am talking about the glasses.

>>29448587
>>29448525
>>29448476

Sounds good.

>>29448587
His third degree hellfire burns suggest otherwise.
>>29448618
Thinking like a monster aren't we?

>>29448618
One of them is an esper. The others probably aren't or, if they are, weak and untrained as they didn't attempt to use any esper attacks such as rock throwing or barriers on Devon.

A simple 1d20 roll, bonuses for good planning and ideas. DC varies based on what's going on. 1 is a complete botch, 20 is a crit.

Sounds fun, any other rules?

>>29448730
None yet, but we've only had a few sessions, and we're still trying to figure out how to make everything work. It we come up with more rules/refine them, I'll make sure and post them in an AoPH thread incase anyone is interested.

>>29448765
Good

>>29448765
I've been creating my own rules for it though I have been stuck for a while.

I agree with trying to get Black Glasses.

>>29448828
they seem rare, if any are going to be distributed it will probably be only to Devon

>>29448822

>>29448828
We can buy them from Silph Co.

After we receive our paycheck.

From Silph Co.

.....Hm......

>>29448988
I think it might be ghosts. Did you try turning it off and on again?

>>29449016
How do you think I lost my hand

>>29448618
Devon is a sociopath. We're not.

Sure they may DECIDE to kill them all, but we're sure as fuck not going to say it.

We suggest they be captured if possible, because we hope that our Espers will be able to deprogram them, and we're not a huge bitch.

>>29449016
>>29448988
Silph Co. Televisions are not at risk of spiritual possession.
This is your own fault for not buying Silph Co.

I been trying to modify the pokemon stat system but still difficult make it work properly.


Health(HP): How quickly you can recover from wounds

Power(Attack): Physical strength

Resilience(Defence): How capable you are at shrugging off physical blows

Skill(Special Attack): Strategic ability, finesse,

(Special Defence): ???

(Speed): ???

>>29449069
>Skill(Special Attack): Strategic ability, finesse,
That really seems wrong when a ton of special attacks are purely for how much pokemagic you can blast.

Also because there are pokes like Hawlucha who have attack stats based on their skill and finesse regardless of their lower physical strength, as per their dex entries.

>>29449118
I know but I've also been trying to combine it with the Pokeathlon stats.

"Well..." You squirm a little under the gaze and expectations of one and both of these superiors. THey expect an opinion from you, even if they might not listen.

You take a deep breath, letting yourself slip into your "Business" posture, and give a formal salute despite your out of place civilian attire.
"Sir! I believe that it is best that we capture as many alive as possible! The esper in question has a mental hold over those innocent people and their actions are not their own! We need to capture the hybrid monster-"

"Hybrid monster?" Seraphis interrupts.
She looks to Giovanni, buttoning up her blouse,"You did not mention this to me Giovanni."
The boss leans back in his chair,"Thought it'd be best to hear it from the one that found out about it herself." Giovanni motions toward you,
"Cerulean, please continue."

At his word, you nod," We need to capture the hybrid monster in secret, and detain or kill it. It's killed people before, and can't be allowed to run free."
You pause thinking for a moment, allowing your posture to slacken.
"I think we should also remind people that they should put down their eevees before they evolve. You know, because a rogue Espeon did all this to the people."

You smile as you finish with a,"Sir."

Seraphis raises an eyebrow, looking over from you to Giovanni,"I like her."
Giovanni gives Seraphis a smug grin,"Indeed, it's why I keep her around."

"Anything else for me sir?" You ask, beginning to get a little antsy yourself.

"One last thing," Seraphis rubs at the bridge of her nose before putting on the fakest smile you've ever seen a person wear.
"I've been made aware that Mr. Zaphrain- Excuse me, Charles, had been under your custody until yesterday. Cerulean, by chance do you know where he is now? I've mind to recommend him his position back."

>Cerulean?

Chuck... had a rough life.

>>29449198
well he WAS in the broom closet, now he's missing and I'm frantically searching for him.
It's what I was doing before you called me in here, in fact.
Can I, uh, go now?

>>29449198
"I was trying to find him before I was called here. He seems to have escaped the broomcloset."

Did we ever make him stop wanting to kill himself? Because he might be off trying to get into the forest.

>>29449198
Forgot to change your trip?

>Seraphis raises an eyebrow, looking over from you to Giovanni,"I like her."
I'm not sure if I like why she likes us.

But if Giovanni likes it, then it's all well.

Anyway, we can search for his scent from the broom closet, correct? Don't mention the fact that we stuffed him there, but say that we can easily go fetch him to inform him of her decision.

>>29449198
>Seraphis raises an eyebrow, looking over from you to Giovanni,"I like her."
>Giovanni gives Seraphis a smug grin,"Indeed, it's why I keep her around."

Plotting confirmed for making the Boss proud. Will continue to plot whenever possible.

>>29449198
He might be trying to off himself by entering the viridian forest.

>>29449262
she likes us because we are able to come up with a pretty good cover story.

>>29449198

He was not were I left him?

>>29449323
I think it's more because we were plotting

>>29449198
"I was actually about to track him down when Boss called me here. I know where he was earlier and I should be able to find him without much trouble Ms. Seraphis."

>>29449373
I like this one. cept after the lady leaves, we tell the boss we need a search party for ASAP

>>29449373
Yeah no need to slip up in front of her.

"He was not where I left him?" Your lip quivers a bit, yet you keep a steady sort of smile as your panic mode begins to engage.
"I left him right in that room... He wasn't in that room when I checked." and then checked again.

Seraphis's eyes harden on you a bit, yet her smile sustains," No, he is nowhere to be found on the premises. I was hoping you'd know?"

"I- I was just in the middle of looking for him before being called here." You feel your heart pounding into head.
"I'll go find him right away, if I'm free to go. I will."

Seraphis sighs, letting the facade wash away. "Well Giovanni, I suppose we should return to our business here."
Boss nods in agreement, looking over Seraphis,"Indeed, Cerulean, I leave Chuck's safe return to you. Let's continue our discussion Miss Seraphis."

"Oh, and Cerulean. Your Mission Reward will be sent to your account. Have fun with the extra income."
"Thank you Miss Seraphis."
You bow and take your leave.

Arceus, oh Arceus. You bite your claw. He's missing, Mr Zaphrain is missing.

Oh... what will you do?

Don't encourage him.

>>29450233
Did we ever ask Alexis what was up with the star tattoo?

>>29450252
Huh, no.
You really should ask.

>>29450274
I sort of assumed it was private

>>29450238
Psychic types have a very, very negative reaction to Dark types.

>>29450274
>>29450312
We can ask the next time we've got private time with her.

>>29450322
Er, yeah, but Devon isn't an enemy and they've been around him before. During training and at our party.

>>29450322
Maybe we can have Devon look, but not necessarily with us?

>>29450233

I don't want the ship, I just want the steam hug.

We need to hug Devon for saving us. The steam must flow.

>>29450366
He does seem to work better solo in tangent with the group.

>>29450366
We could have the espers standing guard near the exits

>>29450366
There's no problem from having him be around the other two. And it's better that we start attempting to ingrain the concept of TEAMWORK into his mind at this point, while he's still young. It just wouldn't do to exclude him when there's no need to.

You open log into a nearby terminal and send out pages to everyone that's been involved with the mission so far, even Alexis in her minute dabblings, and Bruise because you like having your buddy around.

Devon's message returns with a:"Hah! Fat Cat needs me again! D's coming!"
The others don't give quite as colorful responses...

The lot of you assemble in the room that he was held in, you gave the message for civvie clothes again, and the lot of them have all done their best to cover up again, though Sanna seems to be the most annoyed by this.
"Alright, Ceru, weren't we done with this already? What are we doing this again for?"

You pace back and forth, shaking your head," Sanna, no Sanna, I need, no- we need to find that guy that I brought here yesterday. I thought you might know where he is, he's missing, I haven't seen him, have you seen him? I don't even smell him. " Your eyes snap to Devon, and a finger follows as well.
"Devon! Do you smell Chuck?"

He curls up a lip from his muffler hiding his maw,"No fattie, I don't smell the guy, which is weird..." Devon seems lucid for a moment as he thinks.
"I smell disinfectant."
"See, see, I- wait." You take in a deep wiff. He's right. There's a chemical lingering that's leaving an almost absence of smell while still existing enough to burn your nose just a little.

Bruise furrows his brow," His scent's covered up then?"
Goldenrod frowns slightly,"That's obvious. There are psychic echoes here as well, you feel them too, don't you Alexis?"

The Human Esper nods," Yes, there was an intense manipulation here. Animosity as well. They're contained here.
Devon snorts," Don't care about your psychic shit. I smell the chemical, we can follow it. If we find the monster at the end of the trail-"
Sanna sighs,"Shouldn't we leave this to Boss? Are we really going to deal with a human again?"
Bruise shrugs," I'm just coming in on this, but I think we should deal with this. Dunce-dog mentioned a monster, that what this is about? An Espeon or-"

"Pah, how clueless. Cerulean, why'd you invite this musclebound retard?" Devon says offhand, as though Bruise doesn't exist.
"Reverse you just say to me?!" Bruise makes a move for Devon, as the Hound adjusts his stance, preparing for a brawl. A come-and-get-it showing.

"Bruise!" You break the conversation with your command, giving your friend pause. "You know how Devon is, ignore it. I brought Bruise here to be another body in case we need to split up to find Mr. Zaphrain-Chuck, whatever his name is."

"So, we have a lead right? Disinfectant and esper stuff, right?"

They all mutually agree while still sort of disagreeing.

"Good! Let's start the second part of this mission!"

Senna is our capture expert and, if we need to subdue a monster, it's imperative that she's able to move quickly. She should stick with at least one of the espers so that they can quickly teleport her.

I am assuming Goldie is better at teleporting than Alexis? By virtue of having an Abra, that is. Goldie and Senna stick together.

Which means that Alexis should be in the other team with Devon, I suppose. Which leaves Bruise and Ceru. Ceru will be better able to manage Devon, so that's that.

"It might be overly cautious, but I'm not a fan of splitting up. Not after last time."

IF we split the party, which I disagree with, the Espers follow the psychic trail, the noses follow the chemical trail.

Yeah, two groups of three sounds reasonable.

>>29450923

>>29450923
>>[X] Divide the team into two groups of three.

>>29451068
It's better to split up. Chuck might be in danger (hypnotized to harm himself?) and the esper needs to be taken down.

>>29451068
Let just stick together.

>>29450923
Two groups of three sounds good to me!

>>29451068
I'm reconsidering my proposed team list. Devon should be on the team that's going after the psychic monster.

>Group 1
Cerulean
Alexis
Bruise

>Group 2
Devon
Goldie
Senna

>>29451172
That doesn't seem right.

I'd have Bruise be with us and Devon.

Since we'll be focusing on different trails.

>>29451311
I'd rather we had a psychic with us so that, if we're able to catch Chuck, we could immediately undo whatever kind of mental brainwashing he has.

>>29451302

>>29451311
Bruise and Devon would butt heads all the way. and I just don't think we can hold them back.

Alexis has greater restraint than Bruise and thicker skin than Goldie. plus as esper would help prevent more psychic shenanigans.

>>29451302
>Alexis
>Devon
>Sanna
Team 'fuck up an Esper'

>Cerulean
>Bruise
>Goldie
Team 'stop Chuck from killing himself'

>>29451411
I had Goldie paired up with Sanna since I assumed that he's better at teleportations. Just because of his Abra implant. It'd be important to take advantage of Sanna's implants; he could teleport her detached tentacles directly onto the target.

>>29451068
Can you clarify this, Prof?

>>29451345
Who is Sana?

>>29451527
Tangela and Staryu grafts girl.

>>29451455
I don't think that's how teleportation works.

And I don't know, I'd say Devon and Sanna are bettr suited to fighting than rescuing, and if they have to bring an Esper along, then Alexis has a better temperment.

>>29451567
Oh, you mean Sanna?

>>29451585
True. But Goldie is supposedly a very powerful esper now and we're presumably facing off against the hybrid (because, hey, gotta tie up loose ends, right?), so in terms of raw psychic power, he might be better in dampening the hybrid's powers.

>>29451455
The problem with that is that Devon and Goldie REALLY don't get along, and it's begging for trouble if we aren't there to keep things on task. If we ARE there, the other team has no scent tracker.

I think >>29451411 is best if we want to have an esper and tracker on each.

If we want to do an esper team and a scent team it should be Ceru/Devon/Bruise and Goldie/Alexis/Sanna. (I'm assuming Sanna is at least moderately combat capable.) This gives each team someone who can help with a capture (us freezing and Sanna powdering) in addition to the people who will be doing the hunting.

>>29451636
I wasn't that anon.

>>29451641
But we'll need a psychic to deal with both problems. one to face off against the hybrid and one to undo whatever brainwashing Chuck's suffering from.

I'm confused. I thought we were just looking for Chuck? is Raptist jr the half breed involved? or are we just shadow running again?

>>29451703
But Devon would be better put to use on facing off against the esper. Sanna as well, if we want to capture him.

>>29451703
I thought fighting was weak against psychic.

>>29451723
Just assuming it's the hybrid. He's the only loose end in this arc (we haven't even met it) and we know Chuck was probably psychically tampered with. So it just makes sense that it would be the hybrid.

>>29451723
Shadowruns. Someone let Chuck out, and it was either the hybrid or an esper.

>>29451734
I think he might be a little kill crazy right now, and Sanna is a scent person right?

I just think Ceru and Goldie need to team up again to rebuild some rapport, I'm fine with switching Sanna with Bruise.

>>29451781
Sanna creates perfumes, yes, but her specialty is capture. She's the top capture expert right now.

>>29451703
You've got that reversed.

Devon does the fighting, Ceru does the saving.

>"Split up the team."

I knew this would happen again. I knew it and when I brought it up and said we need to make sure to not let it happen again, I was told to stop bitching because there's no way we'd make the same mistake again and it was rude.

>>29452014
You're still stupid for sending Devon and Alexis on a mission that involves dealing with someone in a psychologically vulnerable state.

>>29452018
THANK GOD!!!!!

>>29452034

>>29451849
I'm the one who posted >>29451703, and I agree with >>29451995 and >>29452000.

I forgot that fighting is weak to psychic, and if the others really want Devon to go for the esper, fine.

>>29452034
Well in this case we actually do need to split up because if we don't then it's a coin flip between Chuck dying and the Hybrid escaping.

>>29452034
they are teams of three this time though... it'll be fine. What could possibly go wrong?

You're torn between splitting up the team after what happened last time. You look over their faces and consider your options carefully.
No one would be alone, and there are two trails, right?

Yes, they both need to be followed.
"Is it decided Cerulean?" Alexis's isolated gaze searches for an answer.

"We split up," You finally decide.
You point each of them in order,"Alexis, Devon Sanna, you're all team E, track down the Monster."
"Bruise, Goldie, you're with me. We're team S, we're going after the scent."

"Maintain radio contact via shortwave and comm towers, report any change of circumstance, and most of all-" and you stress this point,"Don't get caught off guard."

Bruise salutes, and so does Goldie and Alexis
Some are a bit slow to comply, yet you give them a harsher glare, curling up your lip with a ferocity you weren't quite aware of,"Understood?"

A resounding "Yes Ma'am!" you receive with a nod, at the very least, they seem satisfied with the grouping arrangements.

"Good, let's move out."
