>Thank the gentleman by kindly feeding him the rest of your sandwich.
You would, but you left it back at the bar. Good thing you still haven't paid for it.

>Afterwards, inquire about purchasing some of those fancy crocodile heads Inpu appears to collect.
"At once."

>Do take the detoxifying needles away from him as you question him on the matter. They may distract him from the conversation. Offer him one once he tells you where they are stored, though.
Unfortunately, the needle has vanished as quickly as it appeared.

Horemakhet assists you out of bed and leads you into the next room, which happens to be a neat office. Behind the desk are a number of books on a shelf. To the desk's right is a cabinet with the crocodile heads in it, mummified and painted. To its left is a chair. Horemakhet sits you on the chair and instructs you to wait, leaving through the door he came in.

This might be a long wait, so surely there's little harm in poking around a bit. You could even think of what you want to say and which head you'd prefer before the man in charge meets you.

His desk has a number of trinkets on it. In the middle seems to be a closed diary with a pen lain on the cover.

Examine the diary and the desk drawers.

Pick the blue head with the ahnk neklace. It's probably the most powerful.

Reading the dweomer directly would require a spell for the active scan, and the appropriate general-purpose version is not one which Yrja has prepared. However, those decorative elements provide clues toward a possible alternative. Oak leaves often symbolize endurance or persistence; butcher's-broom is a type of laurel and so, worn on the head, represents victory; and yew, especially when paired with black pearl, signifies death.

Improvised intelligence testing while tree crab is confined in the automed... no response to various communication attempts, unless you count attacking the blinking light. Tool-use puzzles mostly resulted in attempts to eat whichever components were within reach. Hard to be absolutely sure, of course, but between all that, and patterns in what the medical scanners tentatively identified as traces of nerve activity, reasonably confident it's way down there with fruit flies, koalas, or earthworms, and doesn't even feel pain.
Biochemically it's pretty weird. Copper-based blood. Muscles and connective tissue make extensive use of an amino acid previously known only from obscure microbes, while several common components are seemingly entirely absent, so if rations ran out and you tried to live on tree-crab meat alone, there'd soon be problems related to malnutrition. No apparent serious toxins, though, and when a slip-up with the lab glassware released fumes from a tissue sample which had been heated enough to caramelize, it smelled absolutely delicious.

You have my full permition to eat all the meat.

Focus on Rama. Madame will be radiant enough to take your attention regardless, after all. If a failure for him is a failure for you, don't let him fail.

Focus on Rama, and try to figure out why Jupiter finds him so endearing. Try not to intervene too much - he's got to learn how things go, like any other new votary.

All your efforts are made in service to the Madame, and the Madame's current goal is to guide Rama through the scene towards the best possible catharsis, for all involved. Having seen that our minor intervention was acceptable and that allowing Rama to fail amounts to self-injury, our priority should shift towards guarding against his cluelessness as unobtrusively as possible. Focus on him as the sheepdog does its flock—our devotion is too great for the shepherd's commands to elude us, and so no special attention towards them is required.

If what's good for Rama is good for us, why not focus on him? That way we can give him a push and a nudge to keep him on the right track through all of this.

Jubilee breaks the depressing atmosphere with a suggestion. “I know! How about we ease the tension a little bit!” Harvey looks a bit flustered.

“Well… I mean it’s not that I’m not uh… interested in you, ma’am. I’m just not sure it’d be right. I’ve still got a wife and all, hah.” Jubilee chuckles. This is prime teasing territory.

She stands up and waltzes over to the kiosk. “Oh please, your wife doesn’t have to know about a little bowling game!” Zenith and Cooper giggle, turning the bear beet-red once again. She punches in the party’s four names: COOP, ZEEN, HARV, JBEE. She walks back, holding her hand out to Cooper. “The usual?” They nod and hand the menu to her.

Zenith chimes in, “And a couple of mimosas, just you and me. Coop’s gotta drive.” Jubilee nods and turns to Harvey. “Water for the bear. I need him sober.”

“Not even a shot for confidence?” He chuckles.

“Oh, we don’t do shots here anymore. We’re pretty strict on drinks after the incident.” Harvey looks very concerned, but decides not to ask. “I’ll be back in a bit, go ahead and start without me!” With that, she’s off to the “kitchen” to prep those orders.

“Let’s take it from the top. Give me a timeline. What was your relationship with Beth like up to this point?”

“Well let’s see here… We met when I was 19 and she was 21. We went to university together. We didn’t hit it off instantly, but she asked me out and, I guess I had a thing for her too. She’s warm, funny, loves talking, and I was a pretty good listener. We were there for each other. For some reason, she felt safe around me. Eventually, we moved in together while I was finishing up college, but then I got an offer from the Naval Armed Services for a couple years to be an extra bit of muscle. We were looking at hard times and almost no wiggle room for finances, and the money from the government couldn’t hurt, so I was sent off to the seas. We sent each other letters and such and we missed each other dearly. I’d like to say I got so sad that I cried until I went blind in my eye, but it was probably something to do with the head trauma. When I got back, we got married and that was that!”

“No children?”

“Oh heavens no! As compatible as we are, we’ve still got uh… The wrong… Biological compatibility. Besides, Beth hates kids. As much of a great wife she is, she’s told me how awful of a mother she’d make. I don’t quite see it, but I’m

You know she's the (cloned?) daughter of the lead scientist at that facility you were hired to clean out, right? Of course she's brilliant at analyzing, and calculating. The interesting thing is her erratic, weird angle shots. She is using your reflexes against you, but she's doing it in a very... spontaneous and creative way. Shows she has a high intuition, makes leaps of logic, and may have problems with coldly methodical persistence. If you used an unfair, dead simple strategy to defeat her repeatedly, she'd probably flip her lid.

The other interesting thing is how many drinks she's had. It's not just that she drinks a lot. She has the smallest body of anyone else in this group. How is she holding her liquor like that? Body size puts a hard limit on your alcohol tolerance, you were pretty sure at any rate.

Keimi's liver-to-tiny-body ratio must be insane. Do a quick headmath check on how drunk she ought to be given her size vs number of drinks and alcohol content. She's not too old, so she couldn't have built up some kind of insane tolerance, right?

And lucky your ass! She's just good. Trick shots are a splendid way to score in air hockey. Shame skill-based games get increasingly out as folks get drunker, or you'd challenge her to some other game, like dance dance revolution.

Karaoke is traditionally the next step up in the loosening inhibitions drunk fun ladder, but I don't see any machines for that here. Maybe there's a bar nearby that allows it?

If not, challenge Keimi and Rikke and anyone else who wants to a shooting game-off, just to test how well your actual shooting skills translate. Probably the gang here have all played the few games around before, so should have some home ground advantage.

Beneath the prism, Cookie's clothes change. Bows as dark as the midnight sky adorn the top of her ears, and she wears a wizard's robe that glitters with stars from the deepest reaches of space.

Cookie now possesses the power of fire, sourced from none other than the Big Bang, the birth of the universe. It is up to her to use these flames to cleanse and heal. With that in mind, how does she approach the monster? How will she save Marshal?

>>1076945
Well, first, experiment with your power. You have some mussels embedded in you, can you purge them with fire? Can you extinguish the flames at will?
Once you have a handle on it, engulf the main body of the monster. If the flames are harmless to friendly targets you may as well cover Marshall in them, but if the purging process is painful you might have to take it slow with him once you've gotten him separated from the monster.

So, you don't necessarily have fire as you understand it. You kay have some sort of incredibly hot and dense and fast moving and pressurized plasma, the makeup of which will depend on how long after the Big Bang you are making your draw. Or, since Magical Girl, you probably have something that is more conceptually associated with dense, hot, fast moving, uniform plasma. So, you know, if you throw a fire lance at someone (and it'd be a beam, cause pressure and speed and such), it isn't necessary a WMD with you at the epicenter. Though you probably COULD do that. Regardless, it's an amazing weapon that shoots hot not-even-a-gas-yet at things.

Anyway! Conceptual! This plasma is astoundingly pure in nature, since nothing that has had a chance to change or dilute it has yet had a chance to exist. So you could take the concept of purity to cleanse corruption or impurity that way. Further, this is also, conceptually, the initial act of creation, the Roar Of God, as it were. So you can link that concept to thec reation of things like a new, healthy body and soul and spirit where tainted parts had to be purified out.

Give birth to Marshall, just like the Big Bang gave birth to everything! He'll uh, he'll be fine.

So, something to keep in mind about the time right after the Big Bang is that the heat of it is way, way, wayyyyyy hotter than fire. So you know the main states of matter, in increasing level of heat? Solid, Liquid, Gas? And how there's one beyond that, Plasma. So Fire is generally hot gas, maybe with some plasma at the hottest parts, for the hottest fires. But there's a state BEYOND plasma, a FIFTH state of matter. It's called 'Quark-Gluon Plasma', and it's where not only are there no molecules (too hot!), not only do atoms get stripped of their electrons (too hot!), not only do the nuclei of atoms get split apart (too hot!), but the actual neutrons and protons (and their antimatter equivalents, antineutrons and antiprotons)... just melt. Leaving raw quarks and gluons and things of that scale. THIS is what is present in the first 0.000001 second of the Big Bang!

Just as they lifted you up, they could be holding you back, and you'd never know. Their untouchability means if any of them were corrupted by something, some twisted force beyond mortal comprehension or just decay from old age, they could make random citizens disappear and face no consequences.

Huh. I haven't pondered it much before, but it could be true. It *is* true. Oh, but whatever could we do against the politicians, the aristocrats, the elites? Nothing.
You feel a special kind of despair when you know that a battle can't be won in a satisfying way.
Dragons, out of their own kindness, fed societies the secrets they learned. They taught things that would have taken centuries or millennia to find out.
Some believe they can talk to whatever's beyond life. To the gods of whatever religion is true. To the embodied energy that made the universe.
Fundamentally, we're not allowed to know too much about the scaly beauties. They've told us everything they wanted to, everything they could. The rest of the information we want from them, the fabric of reality always seems to stop us from finding.

The necromancers, that's a new kind of thing to me. I've never heard of cults being so large that they can have an entire city quietly under siege. I'll keep a lookout, like everyone else.

At long last, the precious JOB BOARD is found. There's a bunch of job applications, news articles, and other miscellanea pinned to it.

"THE ●AICET GAZETTE:● ON THE 7TH
ANGELINA HAYES: WARMONGER OR NOT?

As all Seftacrans would know by now, Angelina Hayes is the last living sister to celebrity Ezra Hayes, and is the seventh council member and Seftacra representative of the elusive Omnescar security organization. Omnescar first began in 1499, founded to provide formidable machine-based military assistance to the ten countries it represents. When the 7th was appointed to the enclave in Seftacra, she started making her moves in Cicalse, now known to be the most technologically advanced city

The reddest writing says "WE WILL KNOW" but I can't decipher the rest.

I'm curious about the clockwork greenery, but I think medical and military will be more serious paths.

It's true we cannot evacuate the whole capital planet on board the titans, even big as they are, they are military ships not passenger cruise ships with billions of cabins. Although many would fit in to the corridors we would have no way to organize two things at the same time. A refugee ship and a military operation.

I have found out that the best tactic would be build many, maybe a dozen titan class ships and cluster them together firing every direction with size down from biggest capital ship weapons mounted on rotating turrets to the smaller, but still large point defence turrets and having fleets of heavy corvettes cling close to the hull of the titans, not leaving farther than 300 kilometers in case they are starting to nuke, so they can dodge under the powerful shields of the titans, but still defend against smaller shadow ships intending to avoid the big guns, which tear down every bigger ship that comes too close.

What went wrong in the earlier fleet composition was the main focus was on battleships and cruisers, while the smallest ships were quite undefined in fleet numbers and the titans were not emphasized. This is exactly what the enemy exploited.

Well let's start by budling up some shipyards and defenses around Sanaa and maybe look to hire some mercs to shore up the galaxy's in the short turn.

Then you should look into organizing the raid team...

>The planet lies abandoned, with its nightside infrastructure unlit as I view it from space.

Well that's not ominous at all. Better send down a team to check.

Before that try to hail the whoever is in charge of the planet to get a response.
