The survivors are trimmed down to those that can survive the tests, to a handful. Those are run through multiple trials, against one another, until only one is left alive.

That child you killed. Doesn't doing that make you just as bad as the system you hate? Should you really have done that (why not take it out on a rock or the ground)?

It does not look like Nejita will succeed at having a very pleasant day at all. Like one long awkward family moment except with villains.

<Aetan>: Ahh! Such words, I trust. Good man. Ic áwréon. It is her. And you, of course, my big-headed friend.

>T'ch. I heard you visited the latest crash site, already. Rumor is, there was an accident. Tell me something: Is there a real salvage team coming? Or do the Nationals even know there's been another crash?


Woahwait. Did I just miss the implications that the little ethic purging and lootery what just occurred wasn't even on the govt paycheck? That's news.

>Now, I suspect, of the Langáræcan, there to be six.

Okay, I'm going to assume this means the 'immortals/uplifted/cursed.' Under this assumption means we know of at least three, the Jael, the Ram, and Smiler here. He indicated that they know/have another being similar to them but who isn't counted among the six properly (neither friend nor Langáræcan, thus likely a prisoner.)

I don't know enough about you to know your game. What the hell?

So, what does Aetan want from Nejita about someone he is most likely already unsuccessfully attempting to track down?

>He indicated that they know/have another being similar to them but who isn't counted among the six properly
Actually, I think he is referring to the prosapients, for their superhuman abilities without the same supernatural origins. Aetan being in charge of the prosapient while having contempt for him fits with his insistence of the other not being a friend, which would be obvious in the case of a prisoner.
With the possible additions of Nejita (notice the 'describing us') and maybe John, that would bring us up to having seen five.

In so far as I can count, Aetan was, before arriving at the site, already aware of four Amortals:
> Aetan himself, John, the newly introduced Nejita, and the brother we haven't met yet.\
Nejita probably knew of Jael's presence. Aetan suspects it, though he has yet to spot her directly.
The sixth Aetan suspects is probably Ram. He's already taken a bit of a shine to the boy, so I guess he sees potential use in a freshly minted Amortal.

> Nejita probably knew of Jael's presence. Aetan suspects it, though he has yet to spot her directly.
Er, I meant that Aetan's aware of Jael *now*.

(Also, I think this new style is pretty good, considering the reduction in time investment. Will we still see the old, detailed style for important scenes or possible visual cues?)

<Sergeant>: All right, everyone. Let's not have any repeats of last time. I know everyone's excited, but let's form a nice orderly, corpse-free perimeter. Sir. Sir! Please move away from the explodable truck, sir.

<Soldier>: Sir, the fires have started earlier than normal.

<Sergeant>: Oh, damn it! Is that semi pulling fuel tankers?

Well. John became... different since becoming immortal. Alright, well, Sergeant, work on evacuating the civilians from the blast radius from the imminent saw-dust explosion.

John, please remember that you USED to be a disciplined, relatively sane human being and take care not to level the area you're "liberating".

Ram is about to be an idiot and get caught in the center of that.
Now...You COULD try and prevent that. But chances are, that's not going to work, and you'll just get dragged into things...
Hey, those soldiery guys and the civilians, maybe try and help keep them back and away from this instead.

Fuck it. Jael, help those poor innocent Nationalist Deathtroopers minimize collateral damage by moving explosive fuel tanks out of the Zone of Total Destruction.

Get out of there Jael before you catch the contagious excitement too!

<Jael>: I'm so tired.

Punch! Punch!

I just got here and I really don't know whats going on but I feel a severe lack of punches in this thread.

Talk less, punch more, make sure everyone knows your name

So... I'm just gonna say that this is probably not how it's supposed to go and maybe, just maybe, you will have to think a little non-laterally if you want to get a conversation in with these beefbrains.

So... punch them in morse code, maybe? Bet them that you're faster than either of them and run them up a mountain, chit-chatting on the way? You really need to get the tights guy distracted or away from John if you want to have a talk with him. That, and get John to stop hitting you.

Jael: I recommend catharsis.

National Sergeant: Oh, hey, a chair, a drink and some apparently equally miserable and fed-up female company. Commiserate while watching the spectacle of John, Nayla and whoever-the-fuck this new guy is.

Do you know of anything John likes as much as repeatedly punching that you could bring up to get his attention?

>>575975
So Jael, you've seen this happen before. About when does it stop? Maybe you could find a firetruck and hose them down?

>>575975
Jael, they are like children, thus use things children like (such as Ice Cream) to distract them (temporarily). Eventually they'll forget and just leave or get an ice cream headache.

If this riot hasn't gotten serious attention from the government, it will now.
Look who's arrived! High-level riot control and other nationalist troops. Time for big brother to put on his stomping boots to snuff these flames.
Jael: Might be a good time to scram. You should try to at least grab the attention of John or Ram, or just haul ass outta there yourself.

>>575975

And then everyone had an orgy.

Cheer up Jael, this is a good thing. No way they can cover this up, so now everyone is gonna know about you and John and Nadya. It's gonna shake things up.

While we are talking to you, do you know a guy who called himself Burns? Like you, only found out about it after meeting you though? Military guy.
