You are the PRODUCER, a former soldier hired to manage a group of teenage girls on their rise to stardom, assuming they don't get killed in the process!

Well, after what seemed like an eternity, your new office building was finally finished. Seeing it in person, you're a bit astonished, as it was easily double or triple the size of your old building.

"Certainly moving up in the world, aren't we?" Boss chuckles as he stand next to you.

"I guess we are, sir." You nod.

"You've been doing a standup job so far, Producer. Keep up the good work!" Boss pats you on the shoulder before entering the building.

Man, even with this, you've still go so much to do. Not only did you have to tour the facility, but you also had to arrange a joint training session between your idols and some idols from Zenith. On top of that, you also had to track down clues for that mysterious idol killer. In addition, Dr. Cohen was supposed to be visiting today, too.

Augh, and you thought your job was supposed to be getting EASIER.

HOUSING BLOCK: A section dedicated solely as living quarters for onsite staff. Currently consists of 12 units with options for expansion.

it currently houses 12, with staff.

I think that our default position would be a 3-3-2 with Rin, Rochelle and Julie as one group, Niko, Cole and another combat idol as another group and leaving two combat idols as floaters to either reinforce existing groups, assist zenith with the killer hunt or as emergency response for any trouble.

"Jenner, when did you say Cohen was supposed to be arriving?" You ask.

"Very soon. He'll be arriving on the landing pad in a few minutes." Jenner says, looking at her phone.

"Wait... we have a landing pad now?!"

"Yes..." Jenner shakes her head.

After a quick elevator ride (holy shit you have an elevator now!), you and Jenner arrive on the roof of your new building. Sure enough, there's a flat landing pad on the top, and you see large security doors which you assume leads to some sort of secure hangar below. No expense was spared here, you see.

A scant few minutes later, you see a trio of Neucom VTOLs appear in the distance. One of them lands on the pad, while the other two hover above in a protective holding pattern. Your eyes manage to catch lots of weaponry packed on them.

"Producer!" Dr. Cohen leaps out of the VTOL, carrying a secure case. "It's very good to see you again!"

"Same here." You nod as you shake his hand. "So what's this new product you've been talking about?"

"We should go inside for this." Dr. Cohen says. You see two heavily armed Neucom guards walk up behind him.

"Okay, we can arrange that." You say, leading him to the elevator. You wonder whether you should bring Falynn along. She was pretty good with AI, so she could provide a second opinion on this.

Gentlemen, dreadful news.

It appears the Producer has begun to consider ways that his idols can... "sell out," as the youth say.

It all starts with a cereal endorsement, but then it balloons into action figures, light novel biographies, manga based on said biographies, anime based on said manga and light novels, and then... the movie trilogy adaption which is basically just a remake of the first six and last six episodes and then an original movie which doesn't REALLY fit in with the series and just leaves the audience hungry for a second season that will never be produce.

The result: worldwide chaos.

We must address this situation as rationally as we can... but our time to do so is limited...
>>
>>32492790
Speaking of dumb ideas, I realized that now is the perfect time to covertly knock off some of DeRossa's girls, since it would be assumed that it is the killer.

But even if we didn't do that, other producers can realize this an kill other idols under the radar.

"You don't mind if I bring my own technical expert, do you? Just to make sure nothing is wrong."

"Oh, not at all." Dr. Cohen nods. "In fact, I welcome some independent critique! My lab assistants are usually too scared to point out any flaws in my work it it's incredibly frustrating!"

"Hey, Falynn." You key your comm. "Mind meeting us in the workshop? We got new toys for you to play with."

"Sure thing, boss!" Falynn says happily.

Finally, the elevator (god, you still can't get over the fact you have a goddamn elevator!) reaches the lowest level of the building and opens. Falynn is already there, fiddling with some random gadgets on her work table.

"She's just a child." Dr. Cohen blinks.

"Oh believe me, she's brilliant at what so does." You assure him. "Falynn! This is Dr. Cohen from Neucom."

"Hi there!" She says with a gleam in her eyes. "The Producer told me you were working on some kind of experimental AI! Is that true?!"

"indeed we are." Dr. Cohen chuckles at Falynn's enthusiasm and opens the case he's carrying. "May I present to you, the Next generation Electronic Machine Operator, or NEMO, as we like to call it."

You look and it's that same data disk that you had recovered from those mercs some time ago. Honestly, you don't see what's so special about it, but you see Falynn's eyes literally light up and sparkle.

"HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIT." Falynn squeals, leaning in for a closer look. "Is this an honest to god quantum processor?!"

"Indeed it is!" Cohen smiles proudly.

"But... but... how did you miniaturize it? The smallest quantum computers are currently the size of a car!"

"Well, it's actually quite simple really..."

Uh oh, you can feel technobabble incoming.

You decide to let Falynn and Dr. Cohen keep talking. Honestly, every time you even try to HEAR what they're saying, you get dizzy. This is why you never liked hanging out with eggheads too often. However, they both seemed to be enjoying themselves, and at least it would mean forging a more positive connecting with Neucom's head of R&D.

At that moment, Stig walks in, looks at Dr. Cohen and Falynn, and then looks at you.

"Hey Stig." You say. "What's going on?"

Stig points to Dr. Cohen and Falynn, as if wondering what the hell was going on.

"Ah, they're talking about some kind of new driving AI or something."

Stig then crosses his arms in a huff. He obviously doesn't seem happy.

>>
>>32493477
>>Don't worry. We can always have it drive another vehicle.

>>32493503
>>32493524
To add to these:

"Send back feedback, keep the sponsors happy, get more money, and hopefully someday we can get a VTOL to have fun with."
>>
>>32493477
"Oh come on, at least give it try before you start getting all pouty." You laugh. "Besides, they'll want to get good feedback on the thing, and who better than the best goddamn driver I know?"

That little bit ego stroking seems to do the trick, and Stig's posture loosens up in acceptance.

"All right, we are ready to plug this bad boy in!" Falynn says, clasping the small quantum processor tightly in her grip. "Which vehicle are we gonna test it on?"

"Well, the SUV, of course." You say.

"Okay, just making sure." Falynn pops the hood open and carefully inserts the processor. The SUV is silent for several brief seconds before the engine suddenly roars to life, causing Falynn to yelp in fright and literally leap into Stig's arms. Heh. That was actually kinda funny.

On the roof of the SUV, you see a small camera on a swivel mount, usually used to check the vehicle's blind spots, focus and look around.

"NEMO v1.0 ACTIVATED." Your SUV rumbles. "REQUESTING INSTRUCTIONS."

"Ewww, that voice sounds a bit too harsh. Not user friendly at all." Falynn frowns. "Maybe I can adjust it to sound more erm, friendly? Maybe a bit more feminine..."

"Stig, what do you think?" You say, turning to your driver.

Stig just shrugs. You guess that answer is just as good as any.

"Alright, go for it, Falynn." You say. "It's not going to damage anything, is it?"

"Oh, of course not! They designed this thing to be completely customizable!" Falynn says.

"It's true." Dr. Cohen nods. "We found that operators were more willing to work with AIs they were able to personally tune to their tastes."

Huh, so you guess that was a thing.

"All right, there we go!" Falynn shuts the hood again. "Nemo. Audio test."

"Testing vocal ranges. AAAAAAAaaaaaaAAAAaaAAAAAAaaaa." NEMO hums. She definitely sounded MUCH better than before, that was for sure. "No issues detected."

"All right, so we can start test driving this thing!" Falynn says, looking at Stig and then at you. "Wanna join in?"

"Let's check out our existing facilities." You say.

"All right." Jenner nods.

You've already seen the workshop and its expanded capacity. You could fit more vehicles, and you saw space that could be used to add more specialized equipment to the workshop, like repair facilities or even full on fabrication machines. There was even a hangar added for flying vehicles.

Next up was the infirmary, or more like a full on clinic. Not all the space was taken up, but you knew there were places you could set up top of the line medial equipment... if you could afford it.

Similarly, the data center also seemed to have room for expansion. Mostly to add more powerful computer equipment.

However, it didn't really seem like your other facilities such as the performance rooms, counseling hall, and accounting really needed that much more work. At least in you opinion.

>You have unlocked FACILITY UPGRADES. In the future, the shoplist will now stock items that can be used to upgrade certain facilities. While these will boost their capabilities, this will result in an increase in upkeep.

Been thinking on how we take revenge on DeRosa, and here's what I've come up with.

We announce to them that we know they did it, but instead of taking vengeance, we say that we'll plan for something spectacular.

A few things could happen:
1. They don't buy the bluff and up security. If that happens, we simply wait for an ungodly amount of time until they become sloppy.
2. They become paranoid. The fun happens when we screw with their minds and deprive them of a good night's sleep.

"How about the newer facilities?" You ask.

"Ah, I was wondering when you'd ask." Jenner says. "Here, I'll show you."

Jenner then leads you back down to the elevator, which takes you down to the lowest level. There, you find a darkened basement level that contains rows and rows of very secure looking cages.

"A prison?" You blink.

"I prefer the term 'holding facility.'" Jenner says. "I thought it would be a prudent addition after what happened with Horizon."

"Makes sense."

"And it would also be a nice way to discipline any of the girls if they get too naughty." Jenner cracks a smile.

"No Jenner. Stop." You grin and shake your head.

"Just putting the idea forward." Jenner nods. "There's one last thing you should see."

You are then brought to a blank white room. Completely empty and featureless.

"What am I looking at here?" You blink, confused.

"This, is the latest in combat simulation technology." Jenner says, hitting a switch. "Dr. Cohen calls it a Danger Room."

Suddenly, a tank materializes in the center of the room and fires a shell over your head. In your mind, you know that it's just a construct, but you still instinctively duck.

"What the hell!?"

"The latest in VR training technology." Jenner continues. "It uses hard light to generate physical, holographic constructs that can be used for training purposes. They can't hurt anything, of course."

"Interesting..." You nod. This would be a very useful asset.

"Anyways, that's all for now, unless we embark on any further construction projects." Jenner says.

Mostly because P-san only preys on orphans, as they're harder to trace within the system.

>>32496003

Jenner walks in on P-san surrounded by Jenner clones in various attire ranging from Playboy Bunny, Meido, and everything he can imagine.

>>32496087
Hey, only like 37.5% of our idols are orphans.
>>
>>32496107

>>
>>32496107
And they're all rubbing his feet, serving him coffee, giving him a shoulder massage, playing a game of chess with him, and reading him the latest news.

"Hey, what about Rin's grandfather?" You ask.

"Oh, him? Mr. Shibuya is already in his room." Jenner says. "I can show you."

Again, Jenner leads you to the housing block. Unlike the previous office dorms, the housing block was completely modular, so it would be easy to add on additional habitation blocks if needed. However, Jenner had told you that 8 idols was a healthy number, so you'll keep it that way for the foreseeable future.

"Here it is." Jenner says, showing you the door. "Though I have to warn you, even though his health isn't too good, he's far more athletic than he seems and he can be a bit... eccentric."

"How eccentric are we talking about?" Your raise an eyebrow.

"You should see for yourself." Jenner coughs.

You note that she doesn't enter the room when you do.

"Hm? Another visitor?" You see a wizened old man roll forward on a wheelchair. "Ah, you must be the Producer Rin talks about so much!"

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Mr. Shibuya." You nod respectfully. "Rin speaks highly of you."

"Ah, she does, does she?" Mr. Shibuya chortles and then coughs. "It's an interesting setup you've got here."

"Well, yes." You nod. "Actually, Rin never actually said what you do..."

"Oh, there will be plenty of time for that later." Mr. Shibuya nods and cranes his head. "Is that Miss Jenner? Ah, she won't come in?"

"Is there a reason for that?" You narrow your eyes.

"I... might have acquired her bra." He chuckles.

"What." You blink.

"I've had a colorful past, Producer. Being able to steal a woman's undergarments is a special skill I'm particularly proud of!"

You can feel Jenner's glare boring a hole in Mr. Shibuya's forehead.

"Wait, do you mean you stole them OFF Jenner?" You blink.

Mr. Shibuya just shrugs and you turn to face Jenner, who is still glaring daggers at him. You take a quick glance at her chest and notice that they are indeed a little "looser". Was she going around unsupported this whole time...?

NO. FOCUS, PRODUCER.

"I'm just a man good at acquiring items." Mr. Shibuya chuckles, snapping you back to reality.

"Please give them back, Mr. Shibuya." You sigh. "And I recommend you don't pull anything like this on the girls or our staff."

"Oh dear, I'll keep that in mind." Mr. Shibuya nods. "I don't want my sweet Rin thinking less of me!"

"Just so we understand." You nod. "Now please return it."

"As you wish. It's a really nice one, too." Mr. Shibuya sighs and holds out a bra, black and lacy.

In a flash, Jenner is in the room and snatches it back, her face now beet red. You think it's better to just keep quite as she stomps out. Once you're sure she's out of range, you lean in and whisper.

"...can you teach me how to do that?"

"Ah, I've been looking for a disciple!" Mr. Shibuya chuckles. "Meet me later tonight. My bones feel a little less stiff when the sun goes down."

"I'll keep that in mind." You nod as you exit the room.

"Well, you were right. He was interesting." You say to Jenner.

"Right. Let's go." She says, still flustered.

"He caught me off guard, that's all." Jenner grumbles. "And what was I supposed to do? Beat up an old man?"

"You know, it's not really helping that dangerous, mysterious aura you try to project."

"I DO NOT try to project a dangerous and mysterious aura." Jenner frowns. "Why do people always think that?"

Oh, poor Jenner.

"You know, I never did find out your size-"

"You realize I have a gun, right?"

"Okay, stopping now." You say quickly.

You decide you'll be doing an armor training course today. After all, you're eventually going to have to teach your girls how to handle and move around in heavier armor. Simple tactical and ballistic vests could only go so far, after all.

The Zenith idols arrived as scheduled. Hillman sent over his three best idols, Kaleidoscope, Heartlancer, and Shadowblade. They arrive by car. As you've seen before, Kaleidoscope seems glum and shy as ever, while Heartlancer looks enthusiastic. The new idol, Shadowlancer, seems rather curious about the whole situation.

You decide to let the idols mingle for a bit and familiarize themselves.

"Are you a sniper?" Morgan says, approaching Kaleidoscope.

"H-how do you know?" The black haired magical girl blinks in surprise.

"I can tell these things." Morgan says. "How did you start? Hobby? Hunting? Necessity?"

"Um, hobby I guess." Kaleidoscope frowns.

"Really?" Morgan leans in closer. "How many people did you kill?"

"Um, well, I haven't erm, really killed anybody..." Kaleidoscope says nervously. "I just kinda use my rifle to scare people..."

"Ah, understandable." Morgan nods. "I actually killed five people already."

"W-what?!" Kaleidoscope gasps. "Who?"

"Russian mafia is scary. My family is scarier." Morgan shrugs. One time, they tried to shake down one of my granduncles in the woods. They never came back. We told the authorities it was a bear attack."

"And I assume bears use guns in your country?"

"In Soviet Russia, bear shoots YOU." Morgan nods.

Meanwhile, Julie and Heartlancer seemed to be hitting it off rather well. Honestly, they could have been identical twins if it weren't the fact that Heartlancer's assets were.... significantly smaller, much to her apparent annoyance.

"It's not like I need useless fat anyways!" She says in a huff.

"Awwww, it's not so bad!" Julie chortles. "But it's a real bitch to get armor over these things sometimes!"

Shadowblade seemed to be in a discussion with Rochelle over the merits of certain types of gear.

"Now, EOTech is cool and all, but all those fancy electronics are easy to fry or hack." Shadowblade sighs. "You're not using ID-tagged guns, are you?"

"Oh god no." Rochelle shakes her head. "After what happened in Prague I don't think anybody wants anything to do with that crap anymore."

"Smart decision." Shadowblade nods. "And- OHMYGOD IS THAT A CYBERHOUND!?!"

"Yeah!" Rochelle nods. "His name's K-Zwolf."

"HE'S SO CUUUUUUUUUTE!" Shadowblade squeals.

I do my part. Every time we get an [other] and there's nothing else going on, I suggest we talk to our counselor about our idols.
>>
>>32498109
Huh, maybe they weren't all so different after all. After a little more time passes, you finally clap your hands to get the idols' attention.

"All right, girls, since we're going to be working together for a while, I thought we'd start working on some join exercises!" You say. "So today, we'll be running a hazard course, but no just any hazard course. You're going to learn to move and maneuver while wearing heavy armor!"

You then bring out a set of heavy carapace armor to show the girls.

"Now, full body armor like this can be extremely heavy and bulky, and hard to move around in. However, it gives significantly better protection, so it's always a tradeoff between protection and mobility. However, there are ways to mitigate the bulk. Unfortunately, it's something that can only be achieved by lots of practice."

You hear the girls groan.

"All right, I'll need volunteers."

"Julie, you've got experience in this." You say. "How about you demonstrate for everybody."

"Sure thing!" Julie says as she happily starts strapping on the heavy armor. "Now, the thing is, there's no magic way to make wearing heavy body armor any easier. You just gotta have the strength to power through it. However, if there's one thing you really want to do, it's that you want to make sure it's strapped down TIGHT. The last thing you need is armor plates flapping around and getting caught in stuff."

At this point, Julie was now fully clad.

"Now, really, the best defense is to avoid getting shot in the first place. No matter how good the armor you're wearing is, there's always something that's going to punch it, and there's going to be a point where armor is so goddamn heavy you'd never be able to move in it. "

You then set up the programmed hazard course. It wasn't anything too special. Just various obstacles that had to be maneuvered around, climbed over, and crawled under.

Julie starts off strong, moving as if she the armor wasn't even bothering her. She easily leaps over a few low walls, scales a much taller wall, and crawls under a set of wire. She finishes the entire course in under a minute.

"See? Nothing to it." Julie grins. "Who wants a try?"

>You know have 3 STAR POWER

After a day of drilling, you see that only three of your idols besides Julie seem to be getting the hang of moving around in heavy armor. It appeared that Rochelle, Melissa, and Sparky were taking to the training pretty well. Meanwhile, on the Zenith side, Heartlancer and Shadowblade were doing well, while Kaleidoscope was really struggling.

"Morgan, Cole, do you two need help?" You ask.

"I don't like it." Cole frowns. "Just doesn't feel right. I like to be able to MOVE, you know? I hate all this heavy, bulky shit!"

"As a sniper, I don't even really need heavy armor." Morgan frowns. "It really just gets in the way, and if I'm in a situation where I'm being shot at, I'm pretty much dead anyways."

"I get morgan's point but cole, you're one of our assaults and one of our squad leaders to boot. We can have you getting hurt. -I- cant bear to see you getting hurt. So please wear it for now. When we find some better lighter armour, it'll be yours."
>>
>>32499379
Ask Falynn to make them lighter.
>>
>>32499420
SL and FTL are two different things... just saying. And Cole would fall under the FTL at this time.

Also, hell no. None of this wish-washy crap either.

>>32499433
Will you ask Falynn to make the bullets tearing through their soft tissue less dangerous too?
>>
>>32499379
>>Being comfortable has nothing to do with this.


I get Morgan's point but she our goal is to prevent such a death anyway and if armor can help out even a little, we'll make sure she can do it
>>
>>32499379
>Okay, we'll wrap things up, then.
Fair enough, we just wanna show you that it is an option esp. where we will we doing most of our missions i.e. an urban environment
>>
Looks like it's time for the age old argument over armor vs mobility.
>>
>>32499435

We've passed her operational command during a mission though.

In that, wouldnt she be a squad leader as well? More ASL but still.
>>
>>32499379
>Okay, we'll wrap things up, then.
Just remember, being comfortable has nothing to do with this, it's the difference between getting shot and shrugging it of or, bleeding out all over your fellow idols.

>>32499468
>giving the mage heavy armor

Why?
>>
>>32499468
Except there's not really an arguement since it's pretty obvious that you (see: Julie) can wear carapace with no material loss in agility.

So, you know...it's basically a bunch of Elegant Gentlemen trying to be Nice Guys.
>>
>>32499433
This
>>
>>32499485
Because in Shadowrun you always geek the mage first.

This isn't one of your designed by dipshit D&D games. They will be shot at and they will die if not given adequate protection.
>>
>>32499379
>Being comfortable has nothing to do with this.

There's a reason why we're doing the training. And times you can't be choose about where you get sent. Most the time you don't get a real say. That armor can and will save them.
>>
>>32499379
Ask Falynn to make them lighter.
>>
>>32499531
I doubt it's a weight issue. It's a Cole and Morgan issue.

They're not "comfortable," because they're little shits. Producer will run it out of them.
>>

>Ask Falynn to make them lighter.

but
>Ask Falynn to make them lighter.
>>
>>32499567
No, both of them rely on mobility over durability. That's their fighting style. They can "just deal with it."
>>
>>32499531
Yeah, stress the importance of armor to Cole ("All the mobility in the world can't help you dodge a bullet, you know?") but try to get Falynn to see if she can retrofit carapace armor with lighter materials on less vital areas like the joints. Morgan's technically right, so I don't think we need to lecture her as hard.
>>
>>32499604
>They can "just deal with it."

Yes, that's generally what I and the others are advocating.

They'll fucking get used to it, because it's be uncomfortable now or be dead later.
>>
>>32499604
>can

Can't
>>
>>32499604
And in tight areas where they can't move? What then? Just eat the bullet. You need stop thinking every mission will have the prefect spot for them.q
>>
>>32499604
Do you not wear a seatbelt when in a car because it's uncomfortable and your driving style relies on mobility over longevity?

Because that's, literally, what you're suggesting.
>>
>>32499610
It was a typo
>>
>>32499630
what the seatbelt does not fuck with mobility unless you are crawling all over your car or some shit like that
>>
>>32499379
"Come on, you two, this isn't about feeling comfortable." You sigh. "There may be a time where wearing a little heavier armor can save your life. Can you at least try?"

"Okay..." Morgan sighs.

"Fiiiine." Cole nods.

>roll 2d20

Rolled 1, 10 = 11

>>32499693
>>
>>32499660
Likewise, carapace armor obviously doesn't prevent Julie from being agile and maneuverable, so you basically debunked your own argument all by yourself.

I mean, you realize the reason Cole's saying armor is stupid and it sucks is because she's bad at it, right?

If she had succeeded it would've been WHOO YEAH SHIT'S AWESOME. I know it's hard, but try to include the characterization in your little head simulations.

No, just a banked 20 to kill the 1.

Otherwise we'd be left with a 10 as our best roll for Cole. Lets at least have our mage be armored. The sniper can go with light armor.

You realize that snipers basically wear the same gear as everyone else right? And the fact we wanted her to be more of Markswoman over a pure sniper also?

Way more likely and one usually uses air support to kill rear support

Cole and Morgan perform the course again, and this time their time is a bit more acceptable. Four minutes to finish, but at least it was something.

>All idols have gained Heavy Armor 1!
>Julie has gained Heavy Armor 2!

"All right girls, I think we can call it a day here." You say, and turn to the Zenith idols. "Kaleidoscope, Heartlancer, Shadowblade, you three did a good job too. I look forward to working with you in the future."

"Thanks!" Heartlancer grins. Shadowblade only nods silently while Kaleidoscope avoids making eye contact with you. The three Zenith idols then leave.

"All right, girls, you should all get some rest." You say, turning to your own idols. "Training is done for the day."

There's a weak cheer among your girls as they begin to disperse.

Suddenly, your phone pings as it receives a message from Jenner, telling you to meet her right away. However, at the same time, Julie approaches you.

"Producer, can we talk real fast?"

>Sure
>Actually I need to see Jenner.

"Sure thing, Julie." You say, motioning for you follow you. "What's up."

"Well, um, I'm pretty sure this is gonna sound selfish." Julie frowns as she paces behind you. "But, if... I mean when you go out hunting for that idol killer, can you put me on the team?"

"Any particular reason why?" You raise an eyebrow.

"It's just.... I can't sit by while sick freaks like that are running around. They need to face justice!" Julie sighs. "Believe me, I've tracked down my fair share of killers in the Tombs..."

"And by tracked down..."

"I gave em a taste of their own medicine, if you know what I mean."

You pause for a second. While you were sure Julie was more than capable of handling yourself, you weren't sure how she'd react to a situation like this. It seemed she was very emotionally invested. Plus, she was a good bodyguard. You really weren't sure what to do with her.

>Okay, I'll let you hunt the killer.
>Denied. You're still on bodyguard detail.

>>
>>32500381
>Denied. You're still on bodyguard detail.

I understand your feeling on this but I need someone capable around Rin when she's out of the office. Which is why I picked you for it.
>>
>>32500381
>Okay, I'll let you hunt the killer.
But I want a recomendation on who should replace you.
>>
>>32500381
>Denied. You're still on bodyguard detail.

Can we not do personnel shuffling again?
>>
>>32500381
>>Okay, I'll let you hunt the killer.

But promise me this.

That you'll listen to cole or rochelle.

We might not get him the first time but we WILL take him down.

I dont want you running headlong into an ambush.

"Julie, we are still trying to get some clues. We don't have much to go on yet. I am keeping you on bodyguard duty until we get some leads. Once that happens, we will have this discussion again. I have concerns about your emotional investment, but I think you can be helpful in shutting this bastard down once we find him. "
>>
>>32500381

Sure. Kill 'em dead.

>>32500381

Make note of her bodyguarding talents, but when it comes time to bring the hammer down, it'd be a different story.

Wait.

Rin's granddad is here. Rin should no longer be commuting.

Do we still need the commute bodyguard?

There's still day to day things to be done where Rin will leave teh office. You can't really just lock her up 24/7.

Look there's reason why we put her and Rochelle on this. Can we not make changes because she asked all nice like.
>>
>>32500381
>Denied. You're still on bodyguard detail.
her job is more important than her wants and desires

we're not going to let her compromise security and the safety of a fellow idol just to go be selfish
>>
>>32500381
>>Okay, I'll let you hunt the killer.
>>
>>32500475
That reminds me, what do our idols actually do while not on the big missions? I assume both combat/performance have daily practice regimens in their specific areas of expertise but that's as far as my imagination takes me.
>>
>>32500520
>her job is more important than her wants and desires

Wants and desires have actually gotten us good results. Like the whole thing with rochelle and the engineers.

Putting Julie on the case can make a pretty big difference.
>>
>>32500381

Yep, selfish

"Okay, I'll make sure you're on the hunting team, then." You nod. "But I want to make this clear. You be careful out there, and you listen to what your team leader, whether it be Rochelle or Cole, says. You're not in the Tombs anymore, so you play by my rules. Is that clear?"

"Crystal." Julie nods.

"Good." You nod as you finally arrive at Jenner's desk. "Okay Jenner, what's up?"

"There's been the fourth victim." She says sadly as she turns on her monitor.

You heart stops when you see the picture plastered on the screen. It was Lila from Horizon Entertainment, lying in a back alley literally cut to pieces. You saw some sick shit back in the day, and you've seen scenes worse than this, but it ranked pretty damn high.

"We're going to get this bastard, aren't we?" Julie seethes.

"Yeah, yeah we will." You feel a cold fury burning in your heart.

>And that's it for tonight! Next thread will be next week as usual. Don't forget Gundam Build Fighters on Fridays, as well. Also, make sure not to miss my assassin oneshot on Sunday!

We should contact Horizon next week. Offer condolences and possibility of sharing information for the hunt.

The friendly rookie we first took down.

The one who thanked us for treating them well and for returning them to Horizon.
>>
>>32501632
Well I'm kind of wondering on Horizon's policy's also we need to have some firearm/coordination training soon as well
>>
>>32501881

What kind of policy.

And with the length in between our joint training sessions, not soon.
>>
>>32502138
Well since one of their own is killed they might want revenge. We might collide with them during our investigation on the killer.

Saturday is a long way away
