>>31962838
They said "Not much stuff has been fixed" I think there would still be damage. Plus they don't have more armed people backing them up yet. We could raid one more time before they show up, Maybe even demand surrender.

>>31962918
They feel too secure for us to be demanind surrender yet. We need to break them down some more.

Rolling for Info Genie

>>31962838
Urban Scouts simply state EVERY fucking structure is inhabited and carries potential targets. Considering were bandits we ain't exactly picky. As for factions...you'll need to take a closer rank. District we're in most 'guests' are NOT actually permanent they're just passing through makes for tempting targets. Those who are permanent can usually be traced back to the 'reds' the marker that makes it quite clear what is there and who they are aligned with. In that regard most of the ACTUAL inhabitants are female though the constant foot traffic makes the male pop more apparent the majority of them are merely passing through.

Nearby factions identified by the loners while the scouts looked around for actual targets. Most of whom they confess are on the move.

Pleasure Sectors EVERYWHERE GODDAMN IT.
Everything else is notably lacking EXCEPT for those who...supply the needed goods who keep an actual noticeable presence. Interestingly enough there are no nearby Outcast Sects this coupled with the lack of a proper slaver center makes neutral ground for banditry nonexistent. This unsurprisingly leads to vicious turf disputes, wars, and heavily protected 'caravans'.

Red Light District 69 has long since fallen to disorder...and more importantly to provide the pleasures that are deemed a bit too well freaky, vile, and what even the worst of other red lights districts outright refuse to take part in. What even the most wretched of them deny can all be found here and despite this cancerous vile blight for some reason remains...

Rolled 27

>>31963762
Reason for nonexistent neutral grounds is the lack of a proper slaver center citywide the last true 'Pitt' sorta got overwhelmed by both the city forces AND those who lurk underground. The pincer attack crushed them and put everyone else in a tight spot.

Outcast Sect reasoning is because people who flee here tend to...well join up with the pleasure houses. While those who are FLEEING tend not to want to stay in the district for obvious reasons. This will cause us recruitment problems if we don't figure out how to adapt.


Nearby faction wise its impossible to go anywhere without tripping over pleasure something or another.

Followed by those who offer something or another to the above(bandits, food providers, protectors ect.)

Below that thanks lawlessness, traffic, and other things it DOES remain popular for groups who wish for some 'discreetness', secrecy, and so on. Surprisingly popular by such groups at that and this extends to bordering city sectors as well.

At the moment we are designated as a mix of the above two. Other forces who do not follow the above we have not found any.

Dem doubles 66

We found the notes relating to someone who suggested we found someone who is also rather...motherly. Even more damning we discovered info related to entirely someone and the location of said figure.

Bah getting young pups need someone to watch them once I croak gonna happen anyday now. Thought about maybe finding Jeno but thought otherwise long since lost that one. Instead I figure Mad Lady Della is the one. Crazy bitch but she has a knacks with...most. Something about her last I heard though she managed to break in here like myself. Got some info relating to where. Apparently she is held up in a zombie hive...which doesn't appear to be a hive. Something is fucked for her to be in THIS district of all places I never thought to hear about her.

Here she is known as madam Azullashar and to think I would of bet my left nut that she was never one who end up doing something like that or here for that matter. Even funnier I ran into a Shrieker or so I thought who was moving amongst the crowds. Only reason I knew was because it came out from a zombie hive...but this was one acting funny. Grabbed someone who was infected for dinner. Heh cannibal it went and even better found it wandering around amongst the crowds for some reason. Not even providing sound was wandering why until it got separated and fell victim to the attentions of the local whores. Funny as hell I might add seeing how it reacted. Plan to look into that one it seems to know the Madam and despite being a zombie I think it may actually be a Stalker.

>>31966340
Harvesters basically are big ass walking tanks of syn and syn production. Guardians are the beastly mofos who keep them safe.

This is Adero all over again, and the metaphorical pot of gold has landed on our lap.

>>31966618

>>31966756
Unlikely. I think we can trust Madam Azullashar, Maybe. The tower people we bribed, But they probably will no be much use for this fight. BAL, he's being a homie.

>>31966077

Our unit was a Meka Harvester/Combine.

I think that this unit has something more to do with the Syn Harvester unit/convoy that Pyro decimated once upon a time with the Bloodsnows. Basically, they're incredibly stupidly heavily armored and their guardians are absolutely not people/things you want to fuck with.

Also they're back by the Syn Syndicate which demands that the Syn flow. The Bloodsnows never experienced repercussion for their 'requisition' but they did kind of force everyone off the island not long afterwards and Pyro didn't leave any survivors.

>>31966844
So do we call up the ravagers and madam azullashar and cut them some syn profits in exchange for protection we'll soon need with the mountains of forces that are going to descend on the harvester, which might wake an angry guardian?

Also, do we approach the guardian now or after we have some protection?

>>31966961
After would be safer. But now if we want to talk to it. Other wise fighting will not make dealings easy.

>>31966952
Good ol' bloodsnow.
The only race we've ever done to ever challenge SWH by raping her influence out of an island of zombies.

>>31967005
I'm thinking it might better to approach the guardian now and call for help later if things go sour, than to start up a fight we could have avoided.

Also, if we do contact the guardian what should we convince it with? It certainly won't just let us keep the Syn for free, much less not do everything in its power to get it back to where it belongs.

What do we say to it?

>>31967173

Beats me, why not contact it and see how desperate it is first?

>>31967173
I have no clue what they want to say. I guess we could say "I see you and your people ended up in a bad spot. If would like we can aid in repairs and help protect your group till your off the ground. For a fee."

Approach the guardian in our base, see if it can be reasoned with or even communicated with.

Let's see how it greets us, with words or laser beams.

>>31967250

An important thing to note...

Taking down a Syn Guardian and acquiring the stocks in a harvester would be a stupidly large boon to our rep and resources/bargaining.

>>31967230
"And you will be paying for the damage you have done to our base right? A lot of people out here shoot first and ask questions later, your lucky you ran into us and not some sex slavers."

>>31967230
>If would like we can aid in repairs and help protect your group till your off the ground. For a fee
Well, we could do that, and never see the harvester again.

Or we make the Old Man proud by both us and his ravager kids having gotten themselves a Syn Harvester endless loot macine.

I just wouldn't feel right giving away all that syn and potential wealth, especially if we can protect it

>>31967275
And it wouldn't kill us like it did Adero because we *might* have some badass ravagers to ensure we can defend ourselves.

>>31966661
"Do the harvesters normally keep one type or something?"

>>31967275
Hell yeah. We open to all kinds even syn.

>>31967288
I was thinking while people are attacking it we go behind it's bad and raid it. Mainly using the deal to get info for the attack.

>>31967250
Guardian seems rather dazed squirts of strange fluid occur at random and sparks pour out. Eventually though it does take notice with its head slowly squeals looking over at the poor bastard we sent. With that we notice the blinking green light slowly turn yellow when it notices our guys.

>>31967286
It merely cocks its head.

>>31967336
They do only have one type with them at a time.

>>31967288
Going into the Syn trade is a bad idea.

>>31967316
While I acknowledge them as an option, it's probably better to save the favor the Ravagers owe us for when whatever's under our military base explodes.

>>31967391
>it's probably better to save the favor the Ravagers owe us for when whatever's under our military base explodes.
Hmm, yeah true.

Wish we could scout it and get a heads up from a cleveranon.

>>31967367
Hm. "BAL want to try being hooked up to it or do you think it may attack us if we tried?"

>>31967367
"AI Bal, this thing looks mechanical. Don't you have some kind of machine language you can speak to it?"

>>31967453
>>31967367
>>31967462
Getting Bal involved is the worst idea ever. I support it.

>>31967570
Yeah. But I feel odd to say I believe we can trust BAL as long as we make war.

>>31967589
Well, there's gonna be war pretty soon whether we want it or not when the avalanch of factions pours in to take the harvester.

>>31967608
Indeed. I believe BAL will be very happy. So lets get all our gear and skill ready.

>>31967424

We can scout it, as for what's down there sexbots? There've been a bunch of bots in this base and we're in a sex district. Who knows though.

the guardian seems to take pause before tapping.

Bingo. intelligence confirmed. Its communication ability seems to be rather...neutered. Not capable of broadcasting anything but a ping. Able to however hear, crack, and listen in. Beyond that is unknown.
>>31967589
There are more then one type of AI you know...plus it is rampant.

Man I love the politics of this particular civ and the fact that we're actually involved and can affect the outcome.
There are so many factions and factors that we have to take into account and will affect us.
We have the farmers are our skullfucker group and almost like something of a rival to us
We got the Ramo Raiders the closest thing we have to ally, the ravagers, the sheer diversity of ghouls monsters, men, and supers we've encountered.
And then throw in the Syn Harvester and the zombies everywhere

This is EXACTLY how I imagined Kokaido and more and I love it

>>31967667
So it's like morse code eh?
Let's try something simple then.

Try to message it that we know it is a guardian and we know where its harvester is.

If we're having real difficulty try to associate holograms or pictures of harvesters and guardians and a map with certain pings

>>31967667
I know. But I seen only JAI and BAL, I think. But BAL has been chill for violent or unrestrained in action or performance. To us any ways. SO I want to trust him in aiding us and not turning on us for no reason other then. "Hey meat kill it."

All right I say try round two move a little closer and try talking again. Maybe give it a coloring book.

Agreed.

It seems to be unresponsive though perked up when it heard about the harvester. Its worth noting the squirts of flood as decreased to a slow leak and the sparks have still kept up though.

Doesn't seem to understand very well though.

Once we start using pictures/holograms it starts to notice and once we ping the location of the harvester on the map. We abruptly hear the squels of tortured metal as it rips itself free, a sudden flood of ichor spewed forth, and it ripped out a iron bar sticking through it throwing it away before charging off in a certain direct.

Son of a bitch played us.

>>31967925
Welp, better out there than in here. Let's let the other myriad factions deal with that thing, or maybe Syn Syndicate will pick up their harvester.

>>31967818
A non rampant bal hijacked our mobile base because we didn't kill enough random things, and you fuckers want to trust a Rampant bal to not screw us over? sounds like fun

>>31967925
Nice.
>>31967984
Yeah. Let raid the base of the people fighting.

Alright, the guardian is out of our base and out of our hair, let's deal with the other subjects.

>a ghoul pack wishes to join us...these ones are strange though.
Do we let them in?

>Some outcasts of joined us an entire group in fact of proffesional types. Da Smarties practically creamed themselves especially once it turned out they had actual medical experience and had escorts who apparently were 'good' according to them as well as 'useful assistants'. Looks like the smarties creamed themselves so hard it left quite the mess...and blood. blood everywhere once it descended into a brawl.
Do they have a name genie?

>>31968022
I do yeah. We are all in this together and we have shown we can fight.

man, I'm still kinda sad we're giving up all the boundless wealth that Syn would've brought, even if it did come with risks

>>31968054
In case there was any question:

rampant[ ram-puhnt ]
adjective
1. violent in action or spirit; raging; furious: a rampant leopard.
2. growing luxuriantly, as weeds.
3. in full sway; prevailing or unchecked: a rampant rumor.

Then once done, we move to help the Ramo Raiders in their raid

Obviously Tril and the rest of the scout oriented forces will lead the way, but we'll have to rely on Ramo Raiders intelligence of the target, and as always Ice Officer will instill discipline and overwatch the operation as per her well adapted skils and attitude.

We'll use a similar tactic as last time albeit with some modifications.
Heavy Machinegun/Gatling forces will continue to provide supressive fire against the enemy and pin them down or make it difficult for them to fire back, and on the occasion the enemy trys to snipe them we'll have our sniper forces with officers such as Gal'kal and Gauss cheif try to counter snipe.

Missile Launcher and Explosives expert as well as their attached forces will be set to anti-vehicular duties this time, whilst the rocket launchers will perform bunker busting and defense breaking

If you see any sign of a hero, have the harpooner and the netter ready. Oh, and bring Acid spewers/throwers and the lightning heros with them

Acid is of course an electrolyte which will exponentially increase the effectiveness of the lightning heros to stun enemy heroes and special forces.

Gorsh and the mutants will perform the "tank" roll (or rather, the really really durable moving bulk of flesh role) but THIS time we'll be sure to arm them with da biggest guns we can spare.

Sound good?

If they say what they hungry for yes.

I say let the robots join if they would like. Maybe let BAL have one of the locked ones to have fun with.

>>31968290
Hot Buns?

>>31968321
Ah yes, Hotbuns and the associated flamer forces (spewers, firebomber, ect.) will flush out entrenched infantry from pillboxes, trenches, defenses, ect. with flame.

>>31968290
On a side note. Master Tril has the line of "acquired talent in being a leader" on him. Maybe do a team up leading if they can work together. Other wise have them watch our backs for zombies and what not.

>>31968290
Oh, and bring the Ice forces as well.

Conductivity is better in colder temperatures than hotter temperatures, so they should join the acid+lightning combo in stunning AND freezing enemy heroes.

Failing to find any enemy heroes, try and bog down their infantry/vehicles with ice. Metals become brittle with extreme cold, so try and crack their treads or make it easier for our missile forces and anti-tank forces to crack through their armor.

Officer Ice herself will still be guarded by her lone badasses.

>>31968443
I was hoping to let them enjoy fighting this round. Have the scouts watch our back, once battle breaks out and relay info.

>>31968489
That is true, we should mix it up a little.

FUU-

and so the agony of the newcomers continue.

Troops have been stationed.

Ordered troops have begun to provide suppressing fire and countersniping.

The targets didn't have much in the terms of vehicles so after blowing up what vehicles they did possess the troops entertained themselves by firing at passing vehicles. Later on the rocket guys started shooting around too once they got their business done.

They don't seem to have any heroes so troops are on standby until the Ramo Raiders picked them for assistance.

Hottbuns and forces were bored thus decide to entertain themselves by seeing how hot can get. Unsurprisingly hott buns won and thankful local whores decided to 'reward' them much to the jealousy of everyone else.

Lone badasses have disappeared into the battle destination unknown.

Mutants were the first one ins and the last ones out. Raiders him them hard and fast before snatching whatever they could and pulling back along with our forces who were noted for their...destructive tendencies. Most our troops did a whole lotta looting at least the ones who weren't otherwise engaged.


Mission went down like a breeze mostly thanks to our over killing everything that so much as twitched then destroying crap for shits and giggles.

"You guys did good here's your cut."

We don't give out medals, that's gay, and not in the cool bandity kind of gay, it's like Siegfried and Roy gay.

Okay, we need to make it a note that next time we raid or fight to save the bodies for the ghouls.
Better yet, give all the bodies charred by our flamer forces to the ghouls.

"Think of it like this.
If we do well and earn resources, we will be able to buy slaves their freedom.

You would agree that, selling a few slaves and freeing a hundred is far better than selling no slaves and freeing none.

We can personally set to buying slaves their freedom and integrating them into our society as free people if we can get the resources to do it."

>>31970102
How about they work for it. Like farming (except we can't farm.) Maybe after some time like a few years or kids. Then they can go free or stay here.

>>31970102

Fair enough. We'll ask them if they want to be free after they serve a tenure performing their 'duties'. If they agree then they'll either get the chance to leave or they'll be integrated into our military forces for a time where they'll earn their freedom. Sound fair to you guys?

Sound fair to you player guys?

>>31970102
>At the very least ask and possibly give them a chance. We do not balk at slaves but they should at least get a chance.
Sounds reasonable

Anyone think we should offer all our slaves (that we own, not loan) the opportunity to become free bandits and outcasts.

The weak ones we entice to stay as freemen through the prospect of light duties to earn their keep like everyone does (mostly sexual entertainment and chorse) and the fact that they likely will just get sold back into slavery out there anyway, or wrose. really there would little difference in their lifestyle already apart from terminology and mindset. The only real difference is we can't sell them anymore

The strong ones who become free we entice with guns, drugs, battleglory, ect.

>>31970168
>>31970173
>>31970175
Yeah I think most of us agree. Freedom for earners or time served.

>>31970175
>>31970173

Yeah, we'll give the ones who don't want to enlist get to bump up in the ranks. They'll get a bit more say-so in who/when/where they fuck, but suddenly they're no longer communal sex slaves so if they want to keep their partners from getting rough it's on them and not the concern of everyone at large.

>>31970102
"We simply cannot afford to play games with these slaves, we have known hunger and thirst for far too long.

As much as it pains me, we have to make the less than honorable choice, we must sell them at a premium so that we as a whole can survive, we must not think too long on these things, it is very regrettable.

but our continued growth does mean we are helping some, we can't help them all, in fact we have hurt a lot of people just to survive already, personally I think raiding is morally worse than slaving, if I am willing to kill my neighbor for food, why should I care about these slaves, I don't learn their names on purpose, I don't want to know. I just want to survive, I don't like that this is my only way out of certain starvation, rape, and outright murder, but if you have a realistic way of feeding everybody without doing something down right terrible to somebody, I'm all ears"

>>31970173
Sounds good to me.

>>31970219
>but suddenly they're no longer communal sex slaves so if they want to keep their partners from getting rough it's on them and not the concern of everyone at large.
Heh, reminds me of how Northern "wage slaves" were often treated worse than actual souther slaves, even though the north was free.

Like caring more for a car you own than a rental. Because the first is your property.

>>31970323

Yep. Now to be fair capitalism is just yet another reskin on slavery and we all know that.

>>31970301
>personally I think raiding is morally worse than slaving,
good point

Honestly I'm wondering if those mutants who are crying out for slave freedom don't also participate in the rape and pillage that usually occurs during bandit raids.

Alright, so we have some ideas about the slavery bit. We'll get to the bridge when we can.

Now, actions, actions, actions we need to get back into what we're supposed to do.

>>31970357

Raiding is a bit different, to them anyway.

Remember, mutants respect strength. They also know what it's like to be oppressed so hard you never get a chance to escape even if you are very strong though.

>>31970357

The madam shows up with her escorts.

Some bandits show up during the party mostly the raiders...except for one who mentions how nice it is that she didn't miss the funeral. Who than introduced herself as the niece of the old man we knew. After the initial funeral rites is when the celebration began properly. With the madam offering full services to those who attended, gifts that were brought by the ravager niece, and our own private stores.

It was more party then funeral as it should be for bandits at least. After all you never know when you'll gonna die might as well enjoy living while you can.

This does not mean that Trill will search for a target solo
Or that he expects one of our heroes and officers to attack solo
but that we are, as a group, to attack/raid without the expectedness of allies (as much as it can be helped, though having the ability to call allies is always on the table)

Hold on for a moment now.

We have the Madam in our base currently, and I believe we have enlisted the temporary aid of the Old Man's Ravager niece.

Also, despite Godzilla's drunken insistence (no offense intended there) that the Farmers are being good sports about our raiding...they lose men/equipment every time and beef up their defenses every time. Eventually they'll be either cornered animals or too strong for us to casually raid.

Might I suggest that we raid a Farm tower where we have inside men and either take it over (to have our slaves work it) or clean it out (which ought to be possible with the Old Man's ravager niece). That way we fix our food and water issues. We'll get a boon from the niece being with our forces, and we'll ask the Madam to come along with us so she can tell us what all we did wrong and we can improve.

Worst case scenario we lose, but then the Madam ought to still recommend what we train up. Either way, finding some silly raid target won't be enough to impress/go over well with our current company.

>>31978505

Also, if we try to work them into a tribute situation I suspect they'd just give us poisoned food. I also suspect they'll eventually figure out to do that to food stocks left in easy to get to places so we acquire poisoned food stocks in a raid.

In sum: we need to control the means of production.

>>31978535
>>31978505

Though perhaps raiding an easy target, getting information from the Madam on what *not* to do, and then hitting the farms with the Ravager niece would get my support.

>>31978584
That is actually the plan.

Damn those farmers and their abundance of resources and ability to literally rebuild everything we do without batting an eye.

I think since the time we've raided them they've only grown stronger and will keep getting stronger.
Worse still they'll wise up to our tactics if we use the same things over and over.

So if we get smart on how to fight with a practice run, and then break them before they get too strong, that would be good.

>>31978659

Ideally I would like that plan condensed into 2 actions (Raid Easy, Raid Farms)...but alright.

>>31978659

You know, looking at the farmers kind of makes me wish that we HAD gone Grow.

>>31978806
We got fucked with grow because we didn't realized we had recycing capabilities from the get go and wasted a good three threads while problems built all around us.
There is also a larger amount of caravan traffice and potential buyers here than in the forrest I imagine.

on the list of nations I want to play again, they are certainly up there.

>>31978873

Adero's up there too, but they're more difficult because they can't grow their laser cannons like Grow can they're *anything*.

A Grow think tank would do well because plants perpetuate themselves.

A V101 *reboot* where Umbra has satisfied the eugenics conditions long enough that the OGs and some fresh blood can come together into a new think tank facility would also be fun...

>>31979034

Although I guess 'd be satisfied with any sort of borg think tank.

>>31979034
In theory they are supposed to be able to syntehsize materials from energy and also 3d laser printing, but I see what you mean.

And gods yes, a v101 reboot where we start out with Umbra from the get go.

>>31979153

Yeah, I liked that bit...it's probably blacklisted tech though. Still, shitloads of potential with Adero. Those stealth shields we made were ridiculous.

You know, we have companies with specialties at just about everything.
Umbra for zombies and politics, Psi-corp for psionics, Syn Syndicat, Grow corp for agriculture, Adero for energy, etc.

But what about a company revolving around monsters?

I'm also wondering that Jenny/SWH is a hyperpowerful psionic entity feeding off of the hunger of zombies. But. . .what does Psi-Corp, a true psionic company, have up their sleeve?

I'm wondering if they too aren't being as subversive and secretive (if not possibly more) than Umbra themsleves.

Rolled 4

>>31978505
That is exactly why we should be able to extract tribute, I doubt they would be so foolish as to try to poison the food >>31978535 because anybody that survived the poisoning will be looking for blood. I don't think genie intended on us focusing in on the farm as much as we have, I don't think they have any real back up, nor did genie expect us to discover sustainable raiding practices.

It all makes sense to me, it's like the liquor store in the hood, yeah they know your we are up to no good, and our crew may have robbed them a few times, but when the gangsters come over and say "you won't get robbed again if you pay us x" you just do that and hope they actually keep their word. It's that or get robbed again right then and there.

>>31980143
>I don't think they have any real back up
They can buy all the backup they want with their abundant supplies

>but when the gangsters come over and say "you won't get robbed again if you pay us x" you just do that and hope they actually keep their word. It's that or get robbed again right then and there.
That is, unless you pay the other gangsters/mafia to protect you.

But yes, I understand where you are coming from and we really should evaluate all options. But surely, we could do with another raid on them in the least.

I'm not so sure that their supplies are as abundant as you might think. Our raiding must have set them back a bit, not to mention we got some loot last time we hit them. Personally I think it's too soon to hit them again, but they are an easy target to show off our skills.

I think we should try to find another target first, besides we are trying to impress, hitting the farm is almost like cheating with all of the info we already have, we need to show all our skills from target selection to withdrawing with loot.
