"There's no guarantee we're not jumping into some kind of trap," you say aloud before addressing the comm officer, "Send a message to Captain Clure. Tell him we need more to go on. I want enemy force strength, I want their apparent goal, and I want to know how long he can conceivably holdout"

"Right away, ma'am!"

"We're not going to help them?" Lieutenant Lumis, executive officer aboard your current ship Grim Death[i/], asks.

"It wouldn't do us or them very much good if we're ambushed on route or led by the nose into a trap," you explain patiently. "But, I'm not going to leave them completely unaided. Get Captain Amey on the holocom, have him set course for Perma right away and report on the situation."

"Ma'am," Lumis says as he trots off to execute your orders.

Now was a waiting game, teeth clenched as you waited, knowing that somewhere, many light years away, your comrades were fighting and dying.

Within five minutes, you see the Nebulon-B Frigate Vengeance Endor jump away with a flicker of pseudo motion.

Minutes tick by with excruciating slowness. An attack on Perma was a dire situation indeed. If the Rebels somehow had gotten around behind you, and took Perma, they would control a world that sat astride your hyperlane back home. Oxtroe's whole fleet would be cut off until Perma could be retaken.

"Ma'am," Lumis comes up to you with a datapad, "We've heard back from Captain Clure." Lumis looks at his data pad and reads off the message. "Enemy fleet centered on two Assault Frigates, six corvettes, and three GR-75 medium transports accompanied by approximately sixty enemy fighters. Clure reports enemy seems keen to take the planet, though the transports seem to be armed as second tier warships."

Unsurprising, the Rebels had a tend to compensate for poor force composition with sheer numbers where possible. If it could fly, they would put guns on it and press it into service, even if those bulbous transports only served to absorb enemy fire.

Lumis continues, "He reports he is unable to break away due to enemy fighter cover, he intends to fight where he stands but doesn't estimate his chances for holding out are very good."

When he finishes he looks up at you, eyes wide. "Ma'am if they take Perma, we'll be isolated out here."

"We verified the transmission codes?" You ask, avoiding his comment.

"Yes, ma'am, it all checks out. But . . . A force like that, Clure doesn't stand a chance, and quite frankly I'm not sure we will either."

>There's only one way to find out . . . (order the jump to Perma)
>Contact the surrounding garrisons at Thoadeye and Leria Kerlsil and havem them meet us there (Jump to Perma and summon reinforcements)
>You're quite correct, order Clure to retreat best he can and rendezvous with us.
>I think it best we wait until Vengeance Endor makes visual confirmation of the attack

Here we go

Unsurprisingly, Tenshinhan has already gotten started on his training, just like the others. After a few minutes of flying in the direction of his energy signature, you find your ally on a rocky cliff overlooking the ocean, nimbly dodging rocks that are being flung his way, and retaliating with balls of energy that his opponent swiftly moves to dodge.

As you draw closer, Chaozu looks up in your direction, and Tenshinhan takes the opportunity to strike.

"You're open!" he shouts, elbowing Chaozu in the face, and sending the tiny man tumbling backward toward the edge of the cliff.

Chaozu stops, winding up in a sitting position and rubbing his face.

Tenshinhan turns away from his partner, looking up at you with an expression of irritation.

"Tofoo," he greets. "What is it?"

Clearly, he's not pleased to have his training interrupted so soon.

>A. Tell him that was pretty lousy of him, attacking Chaozu like that

The party drinks, sleeps, and otherwise enjoys the evening. Preparing for their journey to the Gurgrich Estate. As one slumbers, the unseen Demons make their moves, like an unholy game of chess.

There's nothing for it then.

Father who art in Heaven lend me thy strength. Allow me to shoulder this burden and allow me the judgement and wisdom to pick the path of righteousness.

Despite coming to a decision and sneaking in a quick prayer, you're really reluctant to get up. Putting a hand on your knee to haul yourself up, you skul past the oncoming tides of bodies.

"Sensei." Each on mutters in passing, some of them even inclining their head.

"Shut up." You find yourself muttering by the third. Hopping up onto the small patio and opening the paper door with a slam and shutting is just as roughly. Your robe flows dramatically from the force of it, the door doesn't produce much of a noise due to your disatisfaction. But as the bandits feasting is drowned out by distance and hi tech paper. A strange sound comes to your ears.

The laughter of a child.

“Keep your head up, Saki.”

The rare times your grandfather would visit were a treat. A break from hiding in your room, shying away from the manor staff... there was never escaping piano recitals... but when the great Wei Kobashi would arrive, you would be granted a rare opportunity to do what you truly wanted... fight.

“Your strikes are weak,” Wei grumbles, blocking each punch as you spar in the garden. You're thankful he never disparaged the white gi you had picked out for the special occasion, though he doesn't have anything nice to say either.

You bite your lip. “Yes, grandfather. I'm sorry, I'm small.”

“I never said your strikes were small,” Wei replies. “I said they were weak. Do you consider yourself weak?”

“Well...”

Wei glares at you, and you feel the heat of a thousand suns radiating on your face as he does. “If you consider yourself weak, you are doomed to be weak. Stop holding yourself back.”

“B-but I'm not-”

“You are,” Wei interrupts. “Saki, I can sense an anger and aggression deep within you... but you're scared to unleash it. You're afraid to lash out and hurt someone... but you need to focus that anger, that energy.”

You pause. “I... but what if I can't?”

Wei stares at you, before sweeping his leg. You trip up and fall flat on your back onto the grass. “Then you will always be useless.”

Useless... worthless... an embarrassment. To the Kobashi name... you are all these things and more. Despite all your best efforts... you could never live up to the name.

“Saki, tell me. Do you know the Kobashi family sigil?”

You pick yourself up off the ground and begin to dust yourself off as you speak. “Of course, it's on your shield,” you answer. For so long you've looked at that shield and admired it. You dreamed of holding in your hands someday... an amusing sight, seeing as the shield is bigger than you are.

“And what exactly is emblazoned upon my shield?” Wei asks.

“A dragon.”

Wei nods. “Exactly. Do you know what the dragon represents, Saki? It represents power. Fortitude. Strength. The dragon is the most powerful beast, but it is not slave to it's animalistic instincts. It is intelligent, it is cunning... and above all else, it upholds honour. It focuses it's power, it's primal rage. It channels it into greatness.”

“Just like you did?” you ask.

“Precisely.”

You smile proudly. These moments with your grandfather... as rare as they are, it's always good to meet your hero. “Umm... grandfather? Do you... do you think I could do that? Do you think that I could be strong and powerful and...”

“Stop hesitating when you speak,” Wei grumbles. “If you wish to ask a question, ask it. Don't ever begin something without full intent to finish.”

“Right... Grandpa, do you think I could be like you someday?”

Wei stares at you, looking you up and down with an intense glare on his face. “Saki... you will never be like me.”

“Yo, Sak!” Ryoji snaps his fingers in front of your face, bringing you back to the present. Ryoji... the man who saved you. From your parents, from your rotten life... from yourself. And you've saved him plenty of times in return. That perfectly troublesome delinquent...

“Sorry jellybean,” you shake your head. “I suppose I kinda... zoned out.”

“A little star-struck from seeing your hero in that armour?” Ryoji smirks.

You pout. “He's not my hero. Not anymore.”

“I know, I know...” Ryoji replies. “I'm just teasing... so, he's gonna fight Tsuki with us, huh?”

“More like fight him for us,” Kosuke adds with a smirk. “No wonder so many of us are being told to fall back. In terms of power, guys like me are nothing more than meat sacks for Tsuki to target. Burdens. Wei... he's the only one that has a shot.”

Ryoji crosses his arms. “I don't like the sound of Wei swooping in and doing our work for us... but at a time like this I can't really complain about receiving a nuke as back-up. What about you, Sak?”

>I... don't know. Sorry, I'm still a little surprised.
>I don't like it... not at all.
>We can't complain, can we? We need all the help we can get.
>He may be cruel, but... my grandfather is a hero. This is good.

In the late 21st century, western and central Africa underwent an economic rebirth. Avoiding much of the major devastation wrought by the Omnic Crisis, not only were their lands and cities mostly untouched, but its people and cultures didn't experience the same shock of a war against machines. The idea of continuing experiments into the Icarian pursuit of artificial intelligence was not considered abhorrent to them.

The rising African megacorps were quick to dismiss themselves from the international treaties banning research into artificial intelligence. Companies such as Zaki Heavy Industries quickly became infamous for their leveraging of applied AI technologies. Corp-built Omnics of all kinds, even combat units, proliferated throughout Africa. The efficient labor and organization lent a massive boost to the wealth of the once-poor continent, although international observers warned that their success came with incredible danger.

Now that a ghost-fragment of the malignant AI Anubis has hacked a military patrol of combat-grade Omnics and sent them rampaging through the streets of a major city to assault a Zaki H.I. research site, it seems there might have been a point to these warnings.

Of course, right now you're not in a position to be looking down on anyone for plunging headfirst into dangerous situations, are you?

The air fills with the deafening blur of gunfire noise, like the air itself is being ripped apart. Pressing your back against the pillar, you can feel it shudder under the impact of each high-caliber round fired from the shieldbearing combat mech's heavy machine gun. Not for the first time, you're grateful that corporations like Zaki don't skimp on construction material, and the pillar is made of high-grade plasteel which should keep you alive for, oh -- another five or ten seconds?

Winston is nearby, but he already got himself almost killed trying to come to your aid. Mercy is with him, so he'll be okay, but you can't expect any help from that direction in time to do anything about your current situation, which is looking increasingly dire.

You wince as your broken gauntlet leaks another electric discharge, causing the muscles in your left hand to twitch and spasm painfully. Using your electromagnetic shield to defend yourself against the machine-gun mech saved your life, at the cost of a functional shield and ultimate charge.

It hasn't helped that the security forces of the corporate research facility you're trying to defend have decided that you're part of the threat. It's true that they don't know about the Anubis corruption, so they have no idea what's going on here, but you'd think the heavy gunner mech trying to kill you would tip them off that you're on the same side, at least for now. Corporate security guards never were known for their sharp wit.


So. You're cut off from your allies and escape route. Pinned down in a crossfire. Your shield and Shadowshot are busted. You're fresh out of clever ideas. And you're about to die.

Maybe you've been in a worse situation before, but if so, you can't think of it right now.

What do you do?

Methinks it was an end, or so I'd say,
When aught was lost, and gained, that fateful day.

An end indeed, but not behind us.
I Promised you not was, but will.
The Price we'll pay as each it finds us.
All but young faithful Damborill.

What yet remains will Distance only
Be, 'tween Window high above
And far below, the grieving, lonely,
Known-but-fleetingly-of-Love.

She'll sit below, enclosed about
By Void (All other Debtors' lapse).
While high above a light flits out,
And song. Comp'ny perhaps.

The Distance, Damborill, and Window. All else will have been Reclaimed.
How might she bid for light and song, or live in spite of Void untamed?

>>1418756
Dear Damborill - to Void so bound,
Bereaved of love, to woe betied -
With light, harks back: a gentle sound
whence love did once ago betide.

A cherished tune, a cherished song
From cherished times she chanced to learn,
Shall grace her lips ungraced so long,
Entreating song be sung in turn.

Where distance sunders two apart,
A voice may span the space between
With song that wonders from the heart,
To tell of times and things unseen.

To find the warmth and words you seek,
The foremost step is first to speak.

I'm regretting my decision to reply in verse. I don't think I can keep it up.
