So far, it's just been a rigorous regimen of training for your girls, in both the idol and combat arts. You're somewhat worried about having to get newer idols to catch up to them, but Jenner assured you that as the company and it's fame grew, talented idols would be coming to YOU for employment rather than the other way around.Well, baby steps first.Looking at your schedule, you know that you'll have to get around to fulfilling Delta City Mall's job request soon. Apparently their delinquent problem has been steadily growing worse, with reports of people getting harassed after hours. However, you're still concerned a bit about the fact that your girls are still unproven in combat. You really wanted to get a little more training in.In addition, Jenner had informed you that a message came in from the Boss' buddy, and he's willing to trade something for all the surplus M4s you collected.That's not even beginning to mention the fact that you don't even have songs or dance routines set up yet.>Let's take the girls out to kick some delinquent ass.>Let's give the girls a bit more training.>Go see what goodies you can get.>Better hash out some performances.>Other

>>29615170>Let's take the girls out to kick some delinquent ass.They aren't going to fall over each other now that they've got some squad training.Why wait for someone else to snatch the job from us?
>>29615170>Let's give the girls a bit more training.If we feel this way, then it's important.
>>29615170>>Let's give the girls a bit more training.
Gentlemen, it appears that Clover Entertainment has begun training their Idols in the art of self defence under the tutelage of this mysterious "Producer".
>>29615170>Let's give the girls a bit more training.The M4's should be fine against a bunch of delinquents anyway.
>>29615170>>Let's give the girls a bit more training.>>Go see what goodies you can get.
>>29615170>Go see what goodies you can get.I still think a quick one-night recon on the mall to see these delinquents with our own eyes would be in order. Yes, delinquents, recon. Nothing worst than going in blind and surprise one of them is full tricked out with some blatantly obvious AUGs that could have been spotted before hand on a recon job.
>>29615170>Go see what goodies you can get.
>>29615283You know what happened the last time we let a rogue idol group slip through our fingers.I have a strike team on standby to neutralize them on trumped up gun running charges. If we wait, this problem will only grow out of control. We must act now!
>>29615288Better be rubber bullets or something.>>29615333Actually, this is a really good idea. I support this. And additional training.
>>29615170>Let's give the girls a bit more training.>Go see what goodies you can get.
>>29615352Oh dog......
>>29615352We should call in some "expert" for their predictions.
>>29615352Why do I get a feeling Idols are just thinly veiled paramilitary groups? I mean, it's a good thing, but still...

>>29615549Yes, it was unfortunate that His Holiness was embarrassed in such a manner, but I must remind you that the scriptures state that it is through the temptation and sin of mankind that the Redeemer is created.Let the Whores of Babylon have their brief existence. We shall outlast them.

>>29615815GIS says Metalocalypse, which I probably should've taken the time to watch at some point.
>>29615170Well, first things first, you decide to see what cool toys the Boss' buddy is willing to give to you. You check your email and see one titled UNKNOWN SENDER. Normally, you'd be wary, but you've got a feeling that this was legitimate. You click on the email icon to open it.>Greets, Producer. I've heard some things about you from our mutual acquaintance. >I must thank you for delivering these vintage M4s to me, and am willing to let you select one item from the following list.>PS: If you happen to come across any more antique firearms, please send them my way, and you will be rewarded accordingly.CYBER-HOUND Mk3The latest in intelligent battlefield companions, the Cyber Hound is a multirole, quadruped robot capable of a wide range of tasks from recon, hazardous material disposal, combat, and more! Also comes equipped with an onboard AI to improve combat effectiveness.SMART LINK SYSTEMThe Smart Link System is a cheaper, more convenient alternative to augmetics when it comes to more effective use of firearms. This head mounted system boasts an advanced onboard processor and holographic HUD projector allow the user to fire the weapon from any angle and position with negligible drop in accuracy.KINETIC STRIKE MODULE (SMALL)A device that fits over the user's forearm, the Kinetic Strike Module uses proprietary railgun technology to propel a tungsten carbide piston at hypersonic speeds. Initially designed for demolition work, the Kinetic Strike Module has also become a favored piece of equipment for police departments and militaries all over the world for its destructive capability.>Which item will you choose?
>>29615815It's a Metalocalypse reference. The death metal band, Dethklok, is so influential that a secret society known as the Tribunal is constantly watching them.
>>29615815metalacolypse
>>29615815Go watch Metalpocalypse. It's funny.
>>29615850>CYBER-HOUND Mk3BLADE WOLF!
>>29615850>CYBER-HOUND Mk3Come on, Blade Wolf!
>>29615850>CYBER-HOUND Mk3Holy fuck yes.And we can upgrade him to BLADEWOLF later!
>>29615850>CYBER-HOUND Mk3Recon is God.
>>29615815Metalocalypse. Most of the earlier seasons had a beginning segment where a secret enclave--The Tribunal--would discuss Dethklok's shenanigans for the episode.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScDJR3G-vUo
>>29615850I'd say railgun, but we all know who is going to win.>CYBER-HOUND Mk3https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHoBpRlMsbw
>>29615850>CYBER-HOUND Mk3http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wi34XJx35ZE
>>29615850>KINETIC STRIKE MODULE (SMALL)Something that could pulp bones and cause massive trauma? Definitely an okay choice.
So who should we pair Bladewolf up with?
>>29615850>CYBER-HOUND Mk3Because recon and an extra combat-capable unit is a great thing to have, if we appropriately dress it up it can be an animal mascot for the idol group, and it sounds like a Smart Link is something that would be easier to acquire than a cyber-hound.
>>29615975Cole, since she can power him up.plus she needs a pet to get her approval up.
>>29615975Rochelle or Rin, Rochelle is the most tactically capable, while Rin is the most vulnerable out of all the idols, so a robot bodyguard can do her some good.Plus her saying good doggie to Blade Wolf tickles me.
>>29615960For human targets, I prefer to pulp bones and cause massive trauma with a gun. More wieldly and possessed of greater ammunition.Anyways, I get the feeling a lot of people are voting for the cyber-hound because of Metal Gear Rising, which is okay, because they, in an albeit indirect pay, pay homage to the God of Reconnaissance, who watches over us with a stealth UAV.
>>29616008PERFECT!!!
>>29615850SMART LINK SYSTEM
>>29616008I agree. A non-human companion might sweeten her up and he'd look after her when she gets comfortable enough to start exploring the city.
>>29616008Dude, Cole can just as easily damage him as power him up. I doubt battery capacity is going to be an issue here anyway.
>>29616013Yeah, I was going to post something like that also. Rochelle or Rin are really the best options.
So what kind of personality should we give our possible guard dog?
>>29616045We need something for her image since her appeal is 1 while everyone else is 2, plus this should help with her fatal weakness.
>>29615850>CYBER-HOUND Mk3ask him if he as cyber Puchis for sale.
>>29616091Then get a cheaper robot dog instead of something that's going to the battlefield and be used for a much wider range of uses than help Cole appear to be more appealing to the masses.
>>29615850You quickly type a reply saying that you will order the Cyber Hound. Barely even second pass when you get a prompt reply.>Package will be delivered shortly.Well, you guess that's that, then.Now, you just needed to make absolutely sure your idols were ready. You decide one last training session would do.>Another teamwork exercise.>Weapons range.>Hand to hand combat.>Other

>>29616158Which is why i said it covers up her weakness.>>29616163>>Weapons range.
>>29616163>Weapons range.We've already done teamwork and hand to hand.
>>29616163>Weapons range.With luck, we won't be letting those goons into close quarters, and we've got a recon asset to help ensure that.>>29616059There's always the Liberty Prime standby.Also, from those early threads, just one thing: Cole probably does not have power over electromagnetic fields so much as she has the power to manipulate them. The first is "I am the god of electromagnetics" and could do as you say, while the second would disallow the crazy shit like letting atoms fly apart, because the individual EM fields are far too tiny to perceive, and in aggregate, they are enormously powerful.
>>29616163>>Another teamwork exercise.I rather that they focus on their teamwork
>>29616163Cole needs to practice her thundershock so we don't have any friendly fire.Everyone else is one the weapons range.
>>29616163>Weapons range.Because while hand-to-hand is important, our first go-to when combat starts should be ranged combat.
>>29616208when she learns thunder we use the thunder stone on her?
>>29616195Which is what?
>>29616231Dihydrogen Monoxide.I tell you, they need to ban that shit.
>>29616276>Dihydrogen MonoxideThat stuff is still legal? Oh, right cyberpunk. Explains itself.
>>29616163>Another teamwork exercise.i am still not sure our Cole will work together with the other girls.
>>29616314You sure? We did a pretty good job of convincing her she can be beaten.
>29616276And the dog is supposed to help with that how?Not to mention that's still a inefficient use of it, as opposed to either guarding our TOTALLY DEFENSELESS idol Rin or using it for shit like recon.
>>29616335>>29616314She has Coordination 1.
>>29616339>and the dog is supposed to help us how?You'd be surprised.
>>29616339He is able to protect her when that shit hits while rin would still have 2 body guards, or did you forget that she has 3 people who are her guards?
>>29616368>and the dog is supposed to help us how?What.>And the dog is supposed to help with that how?Stop misquoting me.
>>29616368Enlighten those of us who haven't played through Metal Gear Rising.
>>29616399Or she can retreat while the dog performs the much more pressing task of reconnaissance?Not to mention that Cole is unlikely to be separated from the others and have them cover her.
>>29616413Long story short: it's a weapon's platform that is highly mobile and capable of stealth.
>>29616163>Another teamwork exercise.Also, can we do a quick recon mission?
Has it ever been mentioned how Julie got her armor?
>>29616163You decide to arrange for one last weapons range exercise, at least to review what the girls learned. Most of your early sessions were spent rigorously teaching the girls gun safety, as well as how to assemble, disassemble, and clean their weapons. They actually did not spend all that much time on shooting, speaking relatively."Hello, sir." Rochelle salutes you as she walks in."Yo, Producer!" Julie waves cheerfully."Hey." Cole grumbles."Well girls. We all know why we're here." You say, pointing down the room to several paper targets. "I think it's time to for some firing exercises. I'll help you now, but in the future I expect you all to be coming down here to practice yourself. I've already taught you all the technique, so all you need is to practice it."You then walk over the selection of weapons.>Practice pistols.>Practice SMGs.>Practice assault rifles.>Other
>>29616493>Practice assault rifles.We got M4s, lets use them.
>>29616493>>Practice pistols
>>29616493>Practice pistols.Start with the basics.
>>29616493>Practice pistols.They should have pistols on them at all times, makes sense to practice them.
>>29616517The M4s got traded for the Cyber Hound.
>>29616544All of them... ?
>>29616493Pistols. Cole needs to learn.
>>29616493>>Practice SMGs.Single shots first--we can move on to full retard mode later.
>>29616493>Practice pistols.Given their job, they are far more likely to be carrying sidearms than full-scale weapons. Plus, I'm pretty certain there's a good reason why new shooters get trained on pistols first; I know my uncle gave me a pistol to shoot first when I visited. Too bad I'm too broke to do shooting myself.
>>29616551Eh, don't worry. I'm sure we're be able to acquire more modern arms at a discount.
>>29616493>>Practice pistols.
>>29616493>Practice pistols.
>>29616493>Practice pistols firstLet's start with the basics
>>29616493>Practice pistolsLet's ask them if they're feeling lucky.
>>29616493>>Practice pistols.the foundation of all gun use.
>>29616493"Okay, we'll just be starting with the basics and practicing with pistols." You say, pulling out a handgun from the rack. They were the one weapon you WEREN'T short on. However, these were basic 9mm pistols. Accurate and large ammo capacity, but they lacked the stopping power heavier pistols had."Okay, Rochelle, you're up first." You say. You figure she had the most experience with this sort of thing so it was best to start off with a good impression.Rochelle nods and puts in earplugs, picks up the pistol. slides in the magazine, and takes aim.>roll 1d20

>>29616927>>29616906At least Spectral didn't get a 1.
>>29616927That was close.Anyways, Merc, I wrote a quick little program to get the probability distribution for your dice system. Using your old system (1s cancel the best roll), you get this:% of 1s: 0.72931% of 2s: 1.39745% of 3s: 1.40642% of 4s: 1.47762% of 5s: 1.62569% of 6s: 1.8505% of 7s: 2.15042% of 8s: 2.52209% of 9s: 2.98281% of 10s: 3.50637% of 11s: 4.09777% of 12s: 4.79164% of 13s: 5.52257% of 14s: 6.34358% of 15s: 7.24292% of 16s: 8.21179% of 17s: 9.27856% of 18s: 10.39068% of 19s: 11.60974% of 20s: 12.86207
>>29616924Rochelle does a rather respectable job, as you expected. She manages to put all her shots near the center in a fairly tight grouping. You know a lot of army scrubs that couldn't match that.Next up is Julie. You're interested to see how she does.>roll 1d20

>>29617118The 20 and the 1 cancel each other out in that case.>>29617071Julie does much better than you expected. Like Rochelle, she manages to put her shots close to the center. It looks like she learned a lot as well."Good job, Julie." You nod and turn to Cole. "Alright Cole, it's your turn.""Hmph." Cole grumbles. "I don't see why I have to waste time learning how to use guns. I'm perfectly fine with this."She then makes her hand crackle with electricity to make a point.>Okay, if you're so sure about it.>You should learn, anyways.>Other

>>29617304>You should learn, anyways.
>>29617406I knew the system did stilt it towards big successes, but even I was surprised to find just how top-heavy the distribution was.
>>29617355>>29617445Well highest of 3. Cancels out lowest rolls. Probably a good idea, writing for bad rolls would be harder.
>>29617445>You should learn, anyways.is this based on /tg/'s dice algorithm as a whole or just what's been rolled in the threads?
>>29617373>We need to make a gun that shoots both shurikens and lightning.It could only be more awesome if it had tits and was on fire.
>>29617304>>OtherDo we have a water bottle? Dump it on her. Ask her "What now?"
>>29617502Based on Java's math.random() method. I've heard rumors that /tg/'s dice system stilts towards crits, but I've never seen any confirmation that that is indeed the case, and not just people thinking "oh, we get crits all the time" without actually doing the statistical tests to figure that out.
>>29617537Hmm, maybe
>>29617304"Well, Cole, the fact of the matter is that there will be situations where your lightning wouldn't be idea to use, or you won't be able to use it at all." You frown. "What happens if you got wet? Or are in a place with a lot of metal that will ground your shots? Knowing how to use a gun will be mighty useful then.""Alright, fine." Cole sighs as she stands up and picks up the pistol. You know she hadn't been paying full attention in the previous sessions because you're still pointing out little things like her not making sure the safety is on and practicing proper trigger discipline."Such a pain..." Cole sighs.>Roll 1d20
>>29617570The common claim is that /tg/ dice use either a time or postnumber based seed in such a way that rolls made in rapid succession tend to be close together and often trend towards high or low.To my knowledge no one has actually looked at a large sample of rolls statistically to see whether it's just confirmation bias.

Rolled 2>>29617646
Rolled 13>>29617646
>>29617570the number seed is based off of post time, so it likes to clump results together more than a true random # generator, so if you get a crit, you get more crits or at least #s closer to crits
Rolled 8>>29617646
>>29617656Well... at least it counts. Unless the 13 is unlucky
>>29617660Depends on what part of the post time is pulled. If it's taken out of the microseconds part of the post time, it's highly unlikely that one will see any clumping. In any case, that distribution should still be approximately valid.
>>29617656Unsurprisingly, Cole's shooting is pretty sloppy, with most of her shots not even being near the center or having any consistent grouping. However, at least all of her bullets managed to the hit the target, which was something."Well.... you need some work, Cole, but good job." You say."Yeah, well, I'm still more comfortable with my natural skills." Cole rolls her eyes, unconvinced.Jenner then pokes her head head though the door."Producer, your package is here."Package? You don't remember ordering any-Oh.Damn, that guy works fast."Come on girls, I'm gonna show you something." You say. You also call Rin to meet you in the armory."What's this all about, Producer?" Rin asks as she meets you in the armory, still wearing a simple shirt and shorts. She had obviously been in the middle of practice."Oh, I just wanted to show you all the newest member of the team." You say as you crack open the newly arrived crate."Ohmygod it's an actual Cyber Hound!" Rochelle squeals."Nice!" Julie bends down to inspect the robot. "I remember seeing these on TV! Chasing down perps like a boss!""I guess it's... kinda cute?" Rin shrugs."Just a dumb tin can with legs." Cole grumps.Laughing, you bend down and pick up the control pad that was wired to the Cyber Hound and hit the activation key. You've worked with them before, but they were treated as equipment, so nobody was allowed to personally own them.You touch another key and the Cyber Hound's eyes snap open and begin to glow and it stands up on all fours with a whirr of electronic motors and servos before standing still again."AWAITING ORDERS."

>>29618312Bullshit, the only faction I've seen in any consistent manner are the Colefags.
So what do we want our Cyberdog to do? Should it prioritize protecting an idol or be out there on the offensive?
>>29618345I like Cole but I choose Rin to have the dog since she is the most vulnerable. I think it's a little early for the fighting is it?
>>29618130>Assign the Cyber Hound to one of the girls.Rin.>>29618365Against who? We don't have any real enemy yet.
>>29618312Naw, it more like there's a large faction of "anyone but Cole" antifans. I've seen this happen before.JIIIIII~
>>29618365During performances, it should be assigned to patrolling the area and being prepared to get our singing idol the fuck out of there.During regular combat, recon and general support.
>>29618130Assign it to Rochelle.
>>29618374I'm annoyed that people try to start up baseless accusations against people when it's clear that no such thing has been happening.I'd like people to stop thinking of their precious electric waifu for once.
>>29618130>Assign the Cyber Hound to one of the girls.Rin.
>>29618414To be honest, I would've liked the dog to be a communal resource, but problems would pop up like having conflicting orders.
>>29618130>>Ask if any of the girls wants the Cyber Hound.get the NPC opinions first.
>>29618387>he shall never return
>>29618461>communal resourceAgreed. The dog is here to be used.
>>29618130>Assign the Cyber Hound to one of the girls.Rin, because she's the only one that lives away from us, compounded by the fact that she's also the only one with no combat training.
>>29618432I consider Cole as a daughter/little sister then a waifu though
>>29618414One dog pulling security? Unless we're pulling the county fair circuit, that's a pretty anemic security team. I'd feel more comfortable if we were being sponsored by a PMC and had some of their bows pulling security.
>>29618130Communal ownership, they have to share.
>>29618500What if we had dog assigned to Rochelle who then tells it to guard Rin?
>>29618550Don't you remember that the combat idols are the primary security? We technically can't have armed guards without declaring ourselves a PMC
>>29618515Same. Julie is probably in the same position, though she can mostly adapt by herself. Cole needs a father figure.>>29618550No, the dog will not be our only security asset. He will just jump in when the shooting starts, put the singer on his back while the others cover him, and run off to the escape van.
>>29618600>put the singer on his backThis is beyond retarded, and you know it.all you needed to do is say her escorts her.
>>29618130>>Ask if any of the girls wants the Cyber Hound.Lets at least get their opinions on it first.
>>29618130"So, do any of you want it?" You ask. Cyber Hounds tended to work best with dedicated partners, considering behavior-wise, the designers tried to have them mimic real dogs as close as possible."I'd like to request the responsibility of caring and maintaining it, sir!" Rochelle says, barely able to contain her enthusiasm."I'd like it as well." Julie grins. "We could like, totally be partners and fight crime together!""Eh, I don't need a dog, especially a robot one, to look after me." Cole shakes her head."Erm, maybe?" Rin shrugs.You check the control pad again and see an option you've never seen before. Must be a new feature for the Mk3.>Welcome, new user, to the Cyber Hound mk3 startup guide!>For optimal performance, we suggest that you activate the Cyber Hound's IMPRINT MODE, which locks it to a single user. This will vastly increase combat efficiency with it and whoever is fortunate enough to be imprinted. However, be warned. Imprinting will only work ONCE and can only be undone by a full system reboot, so choose carefully!>Assign it to Rochelle>Assign it to Julie>Other
>>29618679> Assign it to Rin
>>29618679>Assign it to JulieWe police dog now.
>>29618679>>Assign it to RochelleHate to admit it, but Rochelle is the most level-headed of all of them.
>>29618387NEVER REEEEEEEEEEEEETURN!!!!
>>29618679Want to give it to Rin.But I like Justice Girl's thinking, >Julie
>>29618679>Assign it to Rochelle
>>29618679>Assign it to RochelleIt's probably safer to assign it to Rin, but Rochelle is so adorable!
>>29618679>>Assign it to RochelleIt'll fit her theme.
Guys. Give the dog to police girl now, give Rochelle a mech later.
>>29618679>>Assign it to Rochelle>>Assign it to JulieI can't choose, so i'm letting the dice do it for me.We should get the girls their own robot companions.(cole would probably get a living gorilla)
>>29618679>>OtherAssign it to Jenner, we need something to protect the waifu
>>29618679>Assign it to RochelleRochelle is the most level-headed and tactically minded of them, so giving it to her is probably the best option.
>>29618772I like this.
>>29618679>OtherAssign it to us. We have the most experience, so we could quickly use it to suit a wide variety of our own purposes. While these girls are capable, I'm pretty sure they'd just use it like a toy and not to it's full potential.
>>29618679>>Assign it to RochelleThe logic presented is pretty good.
Rolled 1>>29618777
>>29618679>>Assign it to Rochelle
So any suggestions as to what to give Julie later on?
>>29618495I wish I could tell him about my flight instructor, Mr. Young. Former AF pilot, incredibly sarcastic and funny, constantly smokes cigars (his favorite spot is right next to the no smoking sign), loves to brag about all the crazy things he's done, is utterly loved by everyone, and is currently hobbling around after an ultralight crash. It was right around the time he started talking about decorating his disability scooter with ribbons and streamers I realized what I had gotten myself into.
>>29618679>Assign it to RochelleI'm sure she'll make good use of it.>>29618833Torgue shotgun?
>>29618679>Assign it to JulieWe'll give Rochelle something later.Like maybe OCP has a scaled down ED-209.
>>29618833A real dog or a cyborg dog.I like the idea of getting each girl a companion.
>>29618833I'm more concerned about what to get Rin as she's the weakest in combat of them all
>>29618833Another robot dog when we get it? One of those hammers from MGR?
>>29618886Good point. Too bad we don't have personal force field devices.
>>29618679>Assign it to Rochellebut flip a coin if they still use them in this setting and act like Rochelle won it.
>>29618886A battle suit if we ever get money.
>>29618833She'd appreciate power armor.
>>29618915what if in the future the main coin is hte dogecoin?
>>29618886Knowing how to duck and not be a moron during combat scenario would go a long way.
>>29618679>OtherDon't assign it for now. We need to focus on other things at the moment.
>>29618930I actually like that idea, since she is using cheap armour.
>>29618886Maybe the Mk.2 version of the Cyber-Hound?Maybe there's a Cyber-Cat variant that's meant for more discriminating bodyguard work?
>>29618960>Cyber-CatThat would be interesting.
>>29618985>>29618960What if it doubles as body armour?
>>29618960No, we give the cyber-cat to the hacker in our group.Which might turn out to be Cole, depending on how we specialize her. That's what makes Cole so interesting; you can do so much with electricity.
>>29618955Where did she get the armor? She doesn't seem like someone who would steal a set (Could be part of her backstory).
>>29619009We still need to find a way to increase her INT stat.
>>29619003We could check the catalogues of the bioware companies.
>>29618985Why not get a Cyber-Eagle or UAV for a bird's eye view? I'm pretty sure civilian UAVs should be pretty cheap by now.
>>29619057whatever you do, avoid anything named KoTOR
>>29619061Well, yeah, we would want to get a few when we can afford them.But right now we were talking about things that could guard and protect Rin.
>>29619047And singing and dancing.Imagine the light shows she can pull off if you train her right. Cole might eventually become our star act, though I'm sure other "freaks" are in the idol business.I'm not waifuing her, I'm just picturing what you could do with her powers. Light shows, hacking, maxed out thundershock, magnetism, instant EMP. Cole can do quite a bit.
>>29619057All avoid anything named dragon age and mass effect.The third generations are shit.
>>29619061>Cyber-[insert-animal-type-here]I wonder if we can get one these. Nah probably not.
>>29619057I'm just afraid that Bio corps are developing a Super Idol as a mascot for their company. A Prototype idol that is the perfect shapeshifter capable of becoming anyone and copying their skills.
>>29619157The hell is that and why does it have a mK19 strapped to its wrist?
>>29619221From Metal Gear Rising.
>>29619221>>29619221http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/MastiffEnjoy!
>>29619157>>29618985no, we need to get some cyber-Puchis of our Idols
>>29619157FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKK those guys and their radar-guided jump kicks
>>29619271No.>>29619277Yeah, don't you love it when you have to fight two of them or more... FUN TIMES!
>>29619168If they were, they would need to pull genes from multiple different Idols--tens, maybe even hundreds. This would have to be a massive undertaking, even on Megacorp levels. She would need to be the closest mankind could ever get to producing a real-life Mary Sue.
>>29619322Well! There goes the plot!
>>29619157>>29619250Is it wrong that I want two of these just to stand around as guards?
>>29619322You know I was imagining Female Alex Mercer, but damn, a Mary Sue?! They're insane!
>>29619271Puchis are bad enough. Why would you make them robotic? That's like pouring gasoline on a grease fire.
>>29619373Nope, but i find it funny that people are planing on buying all this shit even though we don't have a solid income yet and only have 2 months(2 threads) left before we lose the game.
>>29619294why not?
>>29618679"Hmmm, I think I'll give it to Rochelle." You say. "It seems to be a better fit for her.""YES!" Rochelle squeals before coughing and recomposing herself. "I mean um, thank you, sir.""IMPRINTING." The Cyber Hound buzzes. "PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.""Rochelle Wade." She says loudly and clearly so the Cyber Hound can hear."SCANNING BIOMETRIC DATA. IMPRINTING COMPLETE. DO YOU WISH TO NAME THIS UNIT?""Ooooh! I got so many ideas I can't decide!" Rochelle squeaks.>Dynomutt>K-9>GIR>Rex>Other

>>29619437Blade wolf
>>29618930>>29619157You guys are thinking along the wrong lines. We need fully fashionable boob plate. This way, even on stage she is still one of the most armored presence on the block.
>>29619437>OtherBandit. And she can put a camo scarf around his neck.
>>29619405we can sell robo-puchies of our idols as mercendice long side of t-shirts and such.

>>29619437Blade Wolf
>>29619413Oh, I'm well aware that we have no money at this time for 90% of the stuff we need. But it never hurts to have that wish list.>>29619437>>29619478>Bandit. And she can put a camo scarf around his neck.I... Yes.
>>29619437>K-9The Doctor forever!
>>29619474I was going to suggest something form-fitting, but boob plates are not really practical.But whatever.>>29619437Seconding Bandit. We need a mascot.
>>29619437>Bandit
>>29619478switching my vote to this
>>29619462Ohhh, this.Nice Valvrave reference.
>>29619528My only problem with that are the heels.
>>29619462This.>>29619478I'm confused.
>>29619528Boob plate is never as practical in terms of protection, but now we have a legitimate excuse, because having power armor on stage will be a huge boon in both asset protection and tapping into the power armor idol market.
>>29619584Not actually heals, but more like platforms.
>>29619555Wha-? I just chose that cause it sounded cool.
>>29619402Well of course! This would be an 18-22 year old girl that has a six octave vocal range, amazing dancing abilities, acting abilities that could fetch Oscars every year, marksmanship abilities that would make most match shooters weep with envy, and the ability to OPERATE so hard she could claw her way out of Somalia with just two paperclips and a plastic spork. If looks could kill, she would be Tsar Bomba.In short, she would be simply perfect.
>>29619462This.
>>29619462Voting this.
>>29619584>>29619596I still say she'll look better without the boob plate.
>>29619437>K-Zwolf
>>29619606Really? Whatever, it still sounds cool.
>>29619462Supporting.
>>29619631It's doesn't have to be boobplate, just fashionable. I was just using it as a reference. But even a stylized, less effective power armor is still a really useful asset. And we can switch out to the practical suit on non-stage performance missions.
>>29619608>and the ability to OPERATE so hard she could claw her way out of Somalia with just two paperclips and a plastic sporkI needed that laugh.
>>29619608I wouldn't say she has six, she really has eight. We need to include the ones that the human ear can't pick up.
>>29619437>GIROh my God, that reference.
>>29619437>>GIRI will only agree to this if we can give him a green dog suit.

For clarification, what you're voting for is going to be its default loadout. It's what it will generally be running as unless otherwise stated.
>>29620197SWEET!

>>29619922The installation of the Reconnaissance pack is fairly easy, and soon enough K-Zwolf has a much sleeker look. In addition, its tail has an optic at the end and has additional acoustic and motion sensors packed into it. Not to mention the top of the line optic camouflage. Not exactly well armed, but you know from experience that Cyber Hounds had a very vicious bite."Okay girls, I think we're ready for our first mission!" You say. "Let's get your gear and we'll move out as soon as we're ready!""Wait, sir?" Rochelle raises her hand. "How exactly are we going to deal with these bandits?">We're just going to rough them up.

>>29620448Actually, this is a really good idea. Let's show them how things are done in the tombs. The least risky plan, and we can always default to plan B if it fails.

>>29620448>have cole build a criminal underground that are also devoted fans of her.I don;t know weather she would be happy if half the stadium would be filled with Yankees and gangsters, while the other half with teenage girls and boys.

>>29620483idols entertain all
>>29620484No idea how >>29620438 ended up in there
>>29620481Yeah. People just need to learn Plan B: Kill'em all tends to be the be better for everyone.
>>29620483You really gotta start somewhere. And besides, imagine having a group of fans that can double as informal guards.Klockateers, remember?
>>29620481Like we actually are going to allow them to actually get hurt. Julie and Cole will be the distraction while everyone else takes firing positions to wipe everyone out if things go bad.
>>29620503I didn't mean to imply that those two post were made by the same person. You both just keep posting the same thing over and over again with such regularity that it's pretty clear you're samefagging.
>>29620527yeah, because having the Angels work security at Woodstock went well for everyone, right?There's a reason gangbangers don't get regular gigs.
>>29620505>>29620527True, i just love the idea of Otaku gangsters.
>>29620544...uh.Allright. Thanks, Sherlock, for keeping our streets safe?
>>29620328Second this. Hopefully the thugs leave well enough alone. If not, they end up in a dumpster.
>>29620547I don't really care for them that much, but it's more surgical to take out one guy and the rest either follow or disband then to take ALL of them.
>>29620568All of cole's fans are gonna be weird Mofos.
>>29620310>>We're just going to rough them up. Scare them a bit.IT's not like they're major syndicate members or such. If they see a show of sufficent force, they'll back down. And if that dosn't work then we'll show what happens when we stop being nice.
I still don't know why were not doing recon first before moving out like this. We're going in blind on this; I would rather had some kind of plan before we went out for this job instead of trying to ad hoc a plan on site...
>>29620593Well, the Mall probably won't like if there are bulletholes everywhere.Just saying, rubber bullets means less collateral damage.
>>29620637Yeah, me too. I suggested recon first too>>29620671I would be even less collateral damage if we limit the operation on taking out the leader than taking ALL of them on.
>>29620637To add. We don't even know numbers, how they get to mall, whether or not they have any AUGs we could see, and go knows any other details that could help us plan this missions.
>>29620547Altamont. The Angels provided security during the Altamont concert, and only one guy got stabbed. Besides, autopsy reports showed he had meth in his system.

>>29620310"We're just going to rough them up. Scare them a bit." You assure her. "Lethal force will only be a last resort.""Aw, that's no fun." Cole groans."Hey, it's more fun that way." Julie grins and cracks her knuckles. "Usually a wrongdoer learns the errors of his ways after a beating or two.""Okay, Jenner will be driving you to the mall. I'll keep an eye on you from the office. Rochelle, you've got tactical command, alright?""Yes sir!""Great, the girl scout is in charge." Cole rolls her eyes."This 'Girl Scout' is going to make sure you don't get yourself killed." Rochelle retorts."Whatever."Well, this was already off to a great start."Focus, girls. This is the real thing. I need you all to be on your A-game."With that, the girls suit up and pile into the van. Meanwhile, you head back to your office and boot up the Harbinger CIC system. Immediately, several screens flicker to life and you can see four viewpoints. One from each of the girls and one from K-Zwolf. You also see a display for their vital signs as well. Pretty nifty stuff.The trip is rather uneventful, with the girls just talking about the best ways to beat up a guy. Rochelle of course advocates taking him down with the minimum amount of effort, while Julie and Cole were a bit more... sadistic in their tastes.(cont)

>>29620766Finally, the van reaches the mall. At this hour, it's already well past closing, and the area is darkened, with most of the lighting turned off since it wasn't in use. In the gloom, you could see the silhouettes of various figures."K-Zwolf. Scout!" Rochelle commands."Affirmed. Scouting the area." The robot hound buzzes as it leaps out the back of the van, its optic camo causing it to shimmer into nothingness. The next fifteen minutes is spent watching K-Zwolf skulk around the mall parking lot as it individually tags every delinquent it can see and marks it on the tactical map. Looking at it, you're estimating about twenty individuals, split up across three different areas around the mall.>Take the groups out one by one.>Lure them all into one spot and you can take them out in one fell swoop.>Other

>>29621517I wonder what's worse, having to rescue a group of idols held hostage or seeing a group of mind broken girls crying over a mountain of fried and dead bodies.
>>29621532Worst comes to worst I think Cole will be able to just scream loudly and shock everything in the immediate vicinity.It just won't be pretty and might result in friendly fire, or actual fire in the building we're supposedly protecting.

>>29621441Things seem to go well at first. K-Zwolf manages to take down its target swiftly with a powerful tackle, its mass and speed more than enough to knock the delinquent out.Cole also manages to get a good hit on her target, connecting against his face with a well aimed right hook, causing him to reel back. However, he's not quite down just yet.Unfortunately, the other delinquents seem far more alert. Rochelle tries to strike her target with her nightstick, but the delinquent is faster hits Rochelle square in the gut with a steel pipe. Her tactical vest seems to absorb most of the impact, but the blow still causes her to fall to her knees, but a followup blow to her back sends her sprawling to the ground. Meanwhile, Julie is getting teamed up 2 vs 1, with one of the delinquents grappling her from behind with the other using her as a literal punching bag."WARNING, FRIENDLY FORCES IN DANGER."

Cole grins as her hands begin to crackle with energy, causing her target to hesitate.Meanwhile, Julie tries to get back up but her attacker raises his pipe above his head, reading for the finishing blow. He swings down, until the pipe suddenly stops in midair with a metallic CLANG. The air front of the delinquent them shimmers, revealing K-Zwolf standing protectively over its master."What the fuck?" The delinquent blinks."Rochelle in danger. Activating vengeance protocols." K-Zwolf growls as its optics glow a bright red.>roll 2d20

It even uses its tail as a helping hand to pull her back up."Heh... good boy." Rochelle says, wincing in pain.Meanwhile, Cole scores another solid hit against her target, this time injecting a bit of electricity into him as well.

>>29622300And this is why /tg/ shouldn't be in charge of tactical decisions.
>>29622279This entire thing is basically a test run. Don't flip your shit just because they didn't casually slice through the enemies like a hot katana through dirty gaijin plate armor.
>>29622320It's because 90% of the fuck nuts are little whiteknight bitches. Boy, great job on that front.
>>29622279No, the problem was that we told them "non-lethal", AND DID NOT EQUIP THEM PROPERLY.
>>29622325This. If you were expecting this to go smoothly, you're an idiot. This was a street fight and it felt like one.
>>29622325>This entire thing is basically a test run.And nearly wiped our squad out.
>>29622336>This was a street fight Which it should never have been.
>>29622337Hardly. We suffered one mild injury and incapped all the enemies. Stop blowing everything out of proportion.
>>29622279We need someone with that physical strength to prevent another situation like this. I don't care where the hell we get them. Drag them out of the fucking tombs for all I care. But there needs to be an adult physically present whenever the girls see combat

>>29622381We can't assume the girls will always have access to firearms. Not to mention the fact that Cole, Rin, and Julie are still rather new to then. Inexperience caused this disaster, and guns wouldn't have fixed that. We need an experienced team member.
>>29622411Good advantages, good fallbacks. The biggest issue here was the situation was horrible here. Non-lethal? No problem! Rubber bullets at range, night sticks and tasers at melee. Did we have any? No.See a group of guys? Flash bang them. Or smoke grenade them and charge with IR and gas masks.Did we do any of this? No.

>>29622482>>29622472Yeah. Friendly fire is entirely dependent on where the friendlies are. If they're right next to you, the bullets aren't going to magically curve towards them.
>>29622497don't give the dice goddess any ideas as 1s can do all sorts of crazy shit depending on the writer.
>>29622386The delinquent doesn't say a word and just nods rather rapidly."Good. Nice to see that some people can understand things just fine." Cole nods before giving the delinquent a non-electrified punch to the gut."J-just who the hell are you people?" The delinquent wheezes."I believe I'll answer that." Julie says. Rochelle at this point has regained consciousness and is sitting on the pavement trying to recuperate. She whispers something into Julie's ear and Julie nods before walking up to the pinned delinquent and giving him two punches in the gut. "One for me and one for my friend there."The delinquent coughs and groans."Also, my friend would also like to tell you this." Julie leans in so that her mouth is right next to the delinquent's ear and she whispers, "Tunnel Snakes rule."With that, K-Zwolf lets go of the delinquent and he stumbles away as fast as he can. K-Zwolf then cloaks and tails him. The other delinquents, seeing the state their comrade was in and how he was babbling about how the Tunnel Snakes were a bunch a psychopaths that beat the crap out of him, decide to pack up and leave, scattering into the darkness."Huh, I didn't think that would work." You frown. "Anyways, we'll keep a close eye out to see if they come back. You did a good job girls. A bit rough, but we'll sort that out. Get back to the van.""What about these assholes?" Julie points to the downed delinquents."Eh, they'll be fine, I guess." You shrug. The van ride back is rather quiet. Sure, today was a win, but it was hard earned one. Rochelle still doesn't look to be in good shape, with Julie and K-Zwolf staying close to her. Cole tries to pretend not to care, but from your video feed you can see her occasionally glancing back at them.Finally, the van returns to the office, and you go down to meet them.>Tell the girls they did a good job.>Tell the girls they've still got a long way to go.>Apologize for overestimating their ability.>Other

>>29622520>Other"I'll be frank with you girls. Things went bad. Much worse than they should have been. We went in, unarmed, thinking they would run and go down. They were better than we thought. But I have to hand it to you, you girls did well. You girls kept it together and came out of a losing situation. That takes guts.And you Cole, I would like to thank you for carrying the team on this one. But above all, I would like you to thank you for your restraint. It takes a strong person to kill someone. Even stronger to show them mercy to spread tales of terror. But it's a true soldier that protects and saves her friends. Because they are your true strength."

How are we covering the most important part: the dice rolls. we could have a nigh-flawless plan and have it ruined by ones, which will cause the planets to align in such a way that said plan falls apart as if Beavis and Butthead were making it.
>>29622680On the subject of Rochelle, have Julie and Cole explain how they could have supported her.
>>29622679You realize that "everything going to plan/ok/swell/etc," is interesting on its own, right?Not everything needs to be some contrived Tom Clancy bullshit.Coulda just been three girls beating the shit outta everyone around.
>>29622709"We bring guns" is not an "I win" option, dumbass.
>>29622573Rochelle was the one that told her to say it...>>29622520Well, you didn't want to be too hard on the girls, but you knew that you couldn't just give them empty praise either, so you decide for a sort of middle of the road approach."You did a good job out there, girls." You say as they exit the van and assemble. "I know the mission didn't exactly turn out as planned, and some of you got a bit roughed up, but that just goes to show that we all need a bit more practice and training. But we'll worry about what went right and wrong later. Rochelle, Julie, you should go to the infirmary and get yourselves checked out. I know the AutoDoc isn't exactly cutting edge, but it should be enough."Yes sir." Rochelle salutes weakly as Julie helps her walk. K-Wolf follows close behind."And Cole, you did a real good job out there." You say. "If you can apply yourself, you'd be one really scary fighter.""Yeah, whatever." Cole shrugs, but you see her turn away to try and hide her grin. "I'll be in my room if you need me."With that, you're alone. Well, not completely alone."Jeez, does it get any easier?" You sigh as Jenner exits the van's driver seat."Unfortunately, no." Jenner say as she takes position next to you. "A fully trained idol team would've torn those delinquents apart without blinking an eye. You're certainly right. They did do a good job, but they still have a lot to learn.""I suppose." You sigh. "How's Rin bee doing, by the way?""She's progressing pretty well." Jenner responds. "Ushiyama is actually quite impressed with how hard she works, but don't ever tell her he said that.""I see." You nod.>Go to the infirmary and check on Rochelle.>Go talk to Ushiyama and David about arranging a set list.>Other

"For a mall performance, you'll just be performing the same song a few times throughout the day. You'll really only need to have one song, but I think you can have up to three max.""I'll keep that in mind." You say as you enter the studio.Inside, you see Ushiyama and David in a rather deep discussion. No doubt about work."Ah, Producer, how fortuitous." David says as he sees you approach. "We are in quite a bit of a dilemma.""I think David's songs are far too slow. They're not lively enough!" Ushiyama grunts. "Without a good dance,there would be nothing to catch the audience's eye!""As I have said before, I have taken into account our idols' relative experience and determined that we need to use slower songs in order to ease them into the performance." David says adamantly. "They won't be able to keep up if we go too fast.">I agree with Ushiyama. We should speed up the songs.>I agree with David. The girls are still new at this.>Other

Ushiyama sighs. "That means I'll have to redo the entire choreography..." After Ushiyama leaves, David turns to you, his face still an emotionless mask."I must thank you, Producer. However, while I agree with your thinking, I do sympathize with Ushiyama's concerns. If you will allow me, I can make one of the songs slightly more... advanced.""Really now?" "Yes.

"I'll begin work right away."With that, you leave the studio and check your watch. It's starting to get pretty late. You go up to check on the girls, and find that the infirmary is empty.

>>29623183"So... is this what it's going to be like, Jenner?" You sigh. "Little girls beating each other up? I don't think I'll ever get used to that.""Well, hopefully it won't come to that." Jenner sighs herself. "But idol groups like trying to sabotage one another, and if we ever make it to the big leagues,we'll be making ourselves a target.""So, if these idol wars are so vicious, how come I haven't heard of idols dying left and right?" You ask."Well, usually the fighting idols are the no names, so they won't be missed if they were to suddenly disappear." Jenner shrugs. "But believe it or not, there are 'unwritten' rules to the whole business. One of them is that it's bad form to go out and assassinate an idol. Harass and humiliate them, sure, but you don't go out and kill one unless you're absolutely sure you can get away with it.""And why's that?" You ask"Because it's bad for business. Doing that puts a target on yourself. So, normally nobody tries to go for an idol during sanctioned events.""Sanctioned events?" You blink."You know, stuff like concerts. Anything scheduled ahead of time in an official venue is sort of protected, though it doesn't stop other idols from trying to mess you up.""And what are unsanctioned events?"(cont)
>>29623360"Usually stuff like secret or guerrilla concerts. Idol companies take their turf very seriously. You need fans to stay in business, after all. Since these events are unsanctioned, everything becomes no holds barred. Anything goes.""You know, I'm starting to figure that this industry has REALLY WEIRD customs and rules...""You don't even know the half of it."Thanks to getting K-Zwolf, Rochelle's MORALE improves by 1!Rochelle, Julie, and Cole's skill in melee fighting has increased slightly!Rochelle, Julie, and Cole's skill in firearms has improved slightly!>And that's it for tonight!

>>29623367Now someone just needs to update the archive.
>>29623367So, basically, we can ramraid a concert or show only if we're running airtight or everything is expendable three steps up the food chain.How much does it cost for a bootlegged Predator(Predator equivalent) and Hellfire(Hellfire equivalent)? Quantum encryption, someone expendable operating the drone...Yeah, we could make this work.

>>29623367See ya later Merc!I still think we need to get the girls a bodyguard of some sort. They're too inexperienced to be running around unsupported.
>>29623427No, we need Jenner to run the command console and we need to be out in the field.
>>29623454I don't know why we didn't go with guy idols.Would be way easier to idol-commando with teenage girls as fans.
>>29623454Does Jenner have the training for that? If so I'm all for it, but from what I can tell she doesn't have any experience leading troops in combat
>>29623474P-San's running shit from the field, yo, Jenner's manning the console for the larger-picture.But P-San has augmetic eyes, doesn't he? So he can probably jack into the Harbinger CIC and have it displayed as a HUD while he does his field-management shit.
>>29623469The inevitable end to guydol management quest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8GD5dPjLZ0
>>29623492I was expecting the scene from Inglorious Basterds where everyone does, all at once, violently.
>>29623469Hmm, that's a very interesting loophole. What if we became an combat idol...>>29623474>>29623485We'll be leading from the field, like what we're trained to do. We just need Jenner as mission control, to be our eyes on the field.>>29623485Good point, we should be able to network this
>>29623485I'm not sure if it's possible for us to adequately lead the girls and engage in combat at the same time. There's a reason commanders lead from the rear.
>>29623524You do realize there's different levels of command.
>>29623524...butuh.They don't?Officers are logistics and management, not actual battlefield leadership. The people who actually lead people into getting shot by terrorists in Afghanistan are sergeants of all sorts of ranks and stripes.Combat pilots are officers so they don't quite fit into it, but for ground forces, yeah, it's all sergeants doing the actual work.Surely you're not so naive, ignorant, or just uneducated that you don't understand that?
>>29623524Patton lead from the field, Eisenhower from the office. Both are different, but absolutely necessary.We need to be on the field to be able to intervene at a moment's notice. We need Jenner to be our eyes and ears and keep a cool head.
>>29623534I do. Having Jenner screaming in our ear while we're trying to engage isn't going to help our situational awareness, and having some punk swipe an iron bar across our face could make it rather tricky to keep making calm and logical command decisions
Just to let you know, it's considered bad form for a Producer to get his hands dirty.
>>29623600How bad of bad form?On a scale of killing hookers at a truck stop to interrupting someone's Grammy speech.
>>29623600We're switching jobs. Jenner is now the main producer. We are now a freelancer security specialist, independent consulting producer. If we happen to be in the area where idols are operating, what a coincidence. Practically speaking, we're doing the same job. Technically, the corporation is no longer liable for the actions of independent freelancers that don't have a moonlighting clause in their contract.
>>29623630>>29623638I'm just gonna translate this from GM speak: No, you're not doing this.
>>29623672Did you lose your tag merc?
>>29623680Nope, I'm not Merc. But I've known enough GMs to realize that "it would be bad form" means "there is no was in fucking hell I am letting you do this". GMs are polite creatures, but you do not disregard their suggestions
>>29623739I understand what you are saying, however, one does not get ahead in the idol business by playing by the rules. Creative thinking is an asset.
>>29623779You're messing with the basic idea of the quest. This is a management sim, not a realm for us to go play commando. Otherwise, why even have combat idols at all?
>>29623779Now you're just grasping at straws to justify the fact that you want to jerk the direction of the quest into something completely different. It's idol management, and the idols just happen to also fight stuff, its not about us going commando. I'm not sure what about this you aren't getting but it's starting to get annoying.
>>29623829>>29623850Easy, slappy mcslapperton.He's just one of the generic /tg/ powergaming goblins. Don't herniate yourself(elves) getting all worked up about it because someone else has a different opinion.
