Two long years had past since Mallow, Nodal, and Roni had started their training with the protector of the Senzu Stalk, Mother Senzu. In that time, the three fighters had grown in power and ability by mastering the basic harnessing power of Ki. They could control their inner power and knew how to use it in projectile form. Mother Senzu had grown as well, learning many things from her three students. She had taken a seat under the shade of the tall Senzu Stalk, waiting for the three students to return from an errand.

"Mother Senzu! We're back!" Mallow called out as the three descended from the air.

Mother Senzu opened her eyes from meditation to see Mallow, Nodal, and Roni flying in from the sky. "It still surprises me how fast you three learned to fly."

Nodal was the first to land. As he did he dropped to his knees in front of the fox. "We delivered the Senzu Beans to the village Mother Senzu. They were very thankful for your generosity."

Mother Senzu smiled as Mallow and Roni landed shortly after Nodal. "You three have grown so much since the first day I met you. It is time for me to teach you one final lesson before sending you back out into the world."

Mallow tilted her head in confusion. "One final lesson?"

Mother Senzu got to her feet and led the students into the open bay area where they all had fought and defeated Captain Tall Tide so many years ago. "Roni, You mastered the Blazing Fox Fists technique with ease, and while that is a great attack, its not the best attack for any of your abilities. The same goes for you two."

The three fighters nodded, giving Mother Senzu their full attention. "This final lesson will have you all develop your own created technique using your Ki."

A big smile washed over the three students faces simultaneously.

"Get in position and start channeling your Ki." Mother Senzu ordered.

>Roll three times to harness your Ki

Rolled 49, 52, 86 = 187 (3d100)

Sure, let's see how this goes

Nodal struggled but finally manifested Ki between his open hands like Mallow and Roni. "AAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!"

The three fighters began to ignite their auras around their bodies as they grew the strength of their Ki.

"Good. Now focus your energy inwards and tell your body to produce this energy in its own special way." Mother Senzu followed her own instructions as she produced her Blazing Fox Fists.

Roni focused his energy and stepped forward.

>Tidal Wave - A wave of energy is created from Roni's hands

>Wild Fist - A blast of energy shot from Roni's fist as he punches forward

>Summoned Speed - Roni captures his so I within his body which then doubles his speed

>Create an attack for Roni

“It appears to be a white stoat,” Tenkotsuki muses quietly, “a mostly silent killer known for hunting much larger species and engaging in excess killing.”

“Thank you, Tenkotsuki,” you sigh, not really appreciating the additional knowledge that your gift features a cute little murderweasel. “That will be all for now.”

“Are you sure? I could translate the runes...”

“Fine,” you grumble, “since you seem excited about it, feel free. Regale me.”

“To many good hunts and safe returns.”

That's... actually enough to soften your glare somewhat. Now that you look at it, the stoat on the inside of the sake cup does seem to be frolicking rather than murdering.

“Thanks,” you nod quietly before turning to Tenri. “Thanks for bringing this to me.”

“Of course, Lady Kusajishi. Though I must wonder what you intend to do?”

Honestly you're left with a few reasonable options, the first of which is to arrange a meeting with Head Captain Kyōraku to report on your fight with Captain Zaraki... lord knows everyone with any stake in that situation is going to demand a full report at some point, since any time two Captains end up fighting is by definition a serious incident. Or you could continue your own kidō training, develop your proficiency in the “less useful” spells in preparation for the 99th Hadō.

Or... you could do something cultural. It's been ages since you had the opportunity.

>Meet with Captain Kyōraku over a drink or two.
>Practice kidō until someone absolutely HAS to see you about something.
>Try and find something non work-related to do for once, like a real person.
>Visit Urahara?
>Other?

Your everything hurts.

That's the first thought that crosses your mind after blacking out.

Your body aches as you slowly return to consciousness. Your senses steadily come back to you, and the sensations aren't very welcome. You can feel cold, wet snow underneath you, slowly soaking through your clothes. Cold air whips past you, ruffling your hair and biting your skin. Yet, not far away, there is warmth from a fire. Your eyes slowly open as you groan, and that warmth appears to be a piece of metallic hull on fire not far from you. With strained movements, you push yourself onto your hands and knees as you catch your breath. Your head tilts to look behind you, and you can see most of what remains of the slagged shuttle; you can also see you were hurled quite a distance from the crash. You can spot large holes punched in the wings and engines, as well as a couple other bodies - humans and aurin - strewn about the scene.

It was only a little while ago that you wer sitting in the passenger compartment of the shuttle transporting you from the Aces High colony ship down to the surface of Nexus, presumably to a settlement on the continent known as Alizar. You remember the passengers chatting excitedly amongst each other, including Grux Craghammer, the boisterous granok you somehow befriended on the Aces High and now was regaling you with some of his favorite fights. You were watching the scenery outside the window, entering the atmosphere and seeing the blues and greens of the planet's surface come into focus. You remember the shuttle being buffeted by a wintery storm and the turbulence it caused. You remember a couple loud booms and the pilot in the cockpit shouting "Mayday, mayday!" You remember bracing your seat before it all went black.

And now, here you were, crashed into what you passingly know as the Northern Wilds of Alizar. The local fauna hasn't found you yet, but you don't doubt that practically everything in the region was alerted to your arrival.

Your everything hurts.

This sucks.

>Retreat back to the bulk of the wrecked shuttle. You need to take stock of yourself and get at least partly out of the cold.
>Check the bodies and the wreck for any survivors. Someone else might have been as lucky as you, and you wouldn't want to leave them behind.
>Get up and head further into the wilds. You need to get away from this wreck and find something, anything to work with.
>Use your datachron and see if you can't get a signal from something.
>Other

>>1349223
>Retreat to the wreck. Search for survivors. And loot. Look for loot.

>>1349223
>>Check the bodies and the wreck for any survivors. Someone else might have been as lucky as you, and you wouldn't want to leave them behind.
More companions can't hurt.

>Frag grenade
>Flashbang

I would suggest approaching the house from the cover of the woods and seeing if there are any guards posted outside, or signs of activity from within the house. Also where the entrances/exits are.

Everyman gets frag grenades. Demo the house, claim they had a bomb vest. Mission complete

>>1357711
> "Hey Boss, can't be just bomb the house? We technically are only supposed to stop them, and they can't continue destroying the evidience if it already is destroyed!"

>.
>..
>...
>No.

Too bad your character already took out the grenades and union laws prevent him from putting them back, so he is stuck with them for now.
As it stands now, we have 2 characters - one with a flashbang and a frag grenade and one with two frag grenades.

Now, I know we have a pretty open acceptance policy around these parts. HR doesn't like asking too many questions and most of you don't really like answering all of them.

We can accept that.

But keep in mind that we're supposed to work for the government on this one, so there are a few rules.

It's all boilerplate stuff. You'll see the contract on your datapads. We have paper copies available if you touching electronics makes them explode.

The ones that bears mentioning is are the more specific stuff.

A) Give people a chance to surrender
B) Ziplock them if they're unwilling to keep fighting
C) Minimize collateral damage
D) Get the hostages out alive (if you find them).

That last one is pretty important, so I don't know why they put at the bottom of the list. Good enough for government work.

You're welcome to use any gear you've checke out properly with quartermaster, and if not, we can fill in the essentials from company stores. Mostly ours is standard offerings from Kore Industrial, plus the old not-quite-scrapped biped unit. Its not really a combat model, but the autonomous weapons & assistence platform can still provide fairly useful support if it has a pilot.

--

As for the Adherents of the (Infinite?) Flame themselves, we're not quite sure what to expect. Some sort of isolationist creed who goes on about restoring the empire of old, but we can't tell you what empire precisely or why they'd try to do it out here of all places.

Most of them are just angry, somewhat disgruntled office workers looking for a weekend cult to blow off some steam and will likely re-settle back into society just fine with some deprogramming but the cult leaders and zealots are going to be a problem.

Grab your stuff, sign the waiver, and then get ready to go. Take the central structure, sweep it for hostages and hostiles, and try not to kill more people than you absolutely have to. I have to fill out six pages of paperwork to argue due cause for each one, and I /will/ dock your bonuses if it means spending overtime.

hi

>See if Stein can read the Encrypted orders

You unfold the small roll of paper you had found in the pockets of a dead Knight. It was a thick, cream colored square that had been rolled into a tight tube and sealed with a blot of red wax, stamped with a round crest of swirling flames inset with a skull. You take a moment to consider the angular symbols, numbers and swirling glyphs.

Hmm....

Hmmmmmm.......

Interesting......

Fuck it. You can't read this gibberish. Just looking at it gives you a headache. But you think you know someone who may be able to decipher it.

You refold the paper, stuffing it into your jacket pocket and making your way to Stains wagon. The wiry old tainted is looking over some paperwork under the shade of a small awning.

"Rustan! Good to see you my boy! Sit! Sit I insist!" he waves toward a small chair next to him. Taking his cue you sit and enjoy the shade. "Now what can I do for you? Or are you just here to chat?" he smiles, eyes bright behind his reading glasses.

You reach into your jacket and produce the paper, unfolding it and setting it on the small table between you.

"Not here to chat unfortunately, Found that in one of the Knight pricks pockets. Its encrypted or coded or some such. I could never hope to crack it" you trace some of the more alien symbols with your fingers aa he looks over the paper.

Stein smiles broadly, the man loves a mental challenge. He inspects the paper, twisting and turning it, holding it up to the light. As his fingers brush the seal his eyes widen and he peels it off, inspecting it closely.

"This...this right here is an encoded missive directly from the desk of the High Purifier. I CAN'T read it... At least not yet. But whatever this is... Its BIG. Troop movements, orders, logistics, this could be a gold mine into their plans. Worth a fortune once the code is cracked!" Stein seems positively manic as he speaks, his thin hands shaking slightly.

You can't help but grin at the thought of Purity plans being disrupted.
"Do you think you can crack it?"

Steins look of contempt nearly boils your brain.
"My boy if I can't crack it nobody can. All I need is TIME. No code can hold out forever." Stein smiles happily and begins poring over the paper, making small notes in his notebook as he does.

You feel as though you've been dismissed.

You crawl out; and pick up the ice shiv. You tuck it away in a netting pocket on the backpack - hopefully it won't cut something it shouldn't, it doesn't look /that/ sharp. At least as not as sharp as it did when it was inches away from your throat.

"So you actually did it, huh?" your sister, Harirold, calls out; in full winter gear as you, as you do that.

"Yeah. I said I would, didn't I?"

"I'm not calling you a liar, Ice." She pauses, then half-smiles at you. "Just a fool."

You flick her off, turning your back to her, and start rolling up your gear to pack. "You followed the fool."

"I did," she amusingly admits.

"And the fool packed up enough gear for two to go on a fools errand," you continue, teasingly.

You turn around to face her - the vision of her cut in half by an energy field - maybe one of the high power enviromental ones - her ey- noNONONO. Out.

You shake it from your head, accompanied by a literal head shake, but it's too late, she's noticed somethings up. "Ice, you okay?"

"It's nothing, Hari." Psssh. 'Nothing.' Hopefully she wouldn't press.

"What happened?", she asks, pressing.

"Bad dream, is all. How was the trip?" You nod to her backpack, and shrug on yours.

"You're dodging, Ice."

"So I am. Walk'n'talk, we're going...." you trail off and pause, looking at the skyline and the horizons. You pick ... west. "That way." You elaborate with an outstretched arm pointing that way.

"What's that way?"

"Dunno, left the map at home."

She's quiet, no immediate response to that. You set off on a walk, and you hear her footsteps behind you. "I figure we'll go for a while, wait 'til I'm too hungry to keep going, then get breakfast out."

"Mom and dad are pissed."

"Expected as such."

"Not at you; at grandpappy. They're blaming him for putting the idea in your head."

You think it over, did he? Nah, he may have opened your eyes - or tried to - to more of the history and tradition of the Inuit, but he never suggested you do ... this.

"Well, they're wrong. This was my idea."

You and your sister walk in silence, the wind blistering, the landscape cold and icy, broken up by wind-blasted rocks jutting out sporadically, unevenly.

You glance back every now and then, you don't need to, you can hear her steps, in sync with yours, but there's something about the visual.

You're not sure if the worry is showing on your face and she picked up on it, or if she's worried about something, but you catch it on her, regardless.

You consider telling her about the totem spirit.

>Nah, she'll think I'm crazy.
>If she's gonna be with me on this trip she should know.

Acquiring and Improving Spells & Skills:
1) Study, research, explore, train or take classes to discover and learn new spells.
2) Training an already learned spell or skill will raise it further to the next tier once enough [Progress Points] are accumulated.
4) The progress threshold is based on the Fibonacci sequence (1,2,3,5,8,...)
>Usually Spell and Skill tiers are named as Basic => Intermediate => Advanced => Expert => Master
>Alternatively you can label the tiers as T1, T2, T3 and so on.

Spellcrafting:
Spellcrafting involves fusing spells with various skills, knowledge and even other spells that your character has learned together creating a new spell or skill.
>The name of the resulting new spell will be determined by the QM. By default it will be "Cast A B C..."
>Your dice roll will affect the result of the spellcrafting. Lower rolls will result in weaker or negative version of the intended spell and vice versa.

Social Interactions:
1) Role playing with other players is a free action. Role playing with NPCs, however, will cost an action point to do so.
2) Collaborative Player-to-Player actions like trading, tutoring and PvP, will cost an action point to do so.

Combat:
1) Post 2 actions like you normally would. Your opponent will roll their own 2 actions.
2) To defeat your opponent, you must overcome their defensive or evasion roll and vice versa
>If you have not rolled an evasion or defensive roll then your opponent must pass normal DC to hit you and vice versa.
>If both combatants attacked successfully then it's a Double KO.
>If both combatants defended successfully then it's a Stalemate.
