Mecha Space Pirate Quest 27.5

Welcome back to part 2 of Mecha Space Pirate Quest chapter 27. As always, you are Admiral Roarke Susan Starwind of the Iron Kestrels, nicknamed "Dude McCool" by your late and recently avenged Captain, master of the Starship Rhinehawk, and pilot of the undefeated Knuckle Kaiser.

Last time, things were cut short by an abrupt QM existence failure, mea culpa, but at least you had the chance to talk with Samantha Blanchett, who came up with a plan to stay with the Iron Kestrels while still making you look good for ostensibly releasing her. Now, you're on your way to talk to another one of the women you've ensnared with your maximum Cool, one Gretchen Colburn, host of QTPI news.

Right now, she's interviewing SOUL Squad A, who fought fiercely to defend their damaged battleship and your own vessel in battle against the now-extinct Green Skulls.

Also, I need to make some minor edits to the Knuckle Kaiser's entry because I was wrong about how hands work, free Space Efficiency woohoo!

I'll get to that at some point tonight. Hopefully.

Aw shit, whats the story with hands now?

I thought they were like shields where they take up one space regardless of cost. Apparently they either use Space Efficiency to only take up one space, or they are like handheld weapons in that they're limited by the spaces available in that arm. Either way, once I figure out which it is, you'll get free CP automatically spent on Space Efficiency to make them kosher as a dill pickle.

Welp. Time to go back to weapon mating.

"Sooo, what about the rumors I've heard from some of the crew about a steamy squad relationship between you and a certain Miss Heim, currently leading Squad A in kills?" The reporter waggles her eyebrows.

"Y-y-y-yeah u-um w-we're dating." You're momentarily not sure if this is the same kid who threatened to bring you down if you were just using Lieutenant Farragut. Instead of terrifyingly focused and confident, he's shy and blushing and stammering like a complete rookie. You can't help smiling as the pale-haired girl next to him grabs his arm with a big smile.

"That's right!" She crows, "I've got to keep doing my best to protect him so we can retire together. Besides, relationships between teammates aren't against regulations, I even looked it up!"

"The UJCIDF, a place for love? Perhaps a future segment..." Gretchen muses, already thinking three steps ahead when it comes to her ratings, "Anyway, the best of luck to you both! Lieutenant Blanchett, any comment from you on the situation with your sister?"

The burly man with the prominent beard and mohawk nods, leaning in to speak to Gretchen's PC, currently set to record, "I've met with Admiral Starwind. Despite the fact that he's a disreputable pirate, a scoundrel, and a rogue...I have every confidence that he'll do the right thing by my sister. Right, Admiral?" He looks directly at you over Gretchen's shoulder. His smile is friendly, but his gaze is as sharp as one of his mech's beam axes.

Gretchen spots you, stifles a squeal, and pushes you in front of the cameras. She isn't very strong and is mostly reliant on you being cooperative to get you to move anywhere. Lieutenant Blanchett gives you a hearty clap on the back and grins, "As I was saying, right, Admiral?"

>he doesn't already mate every Kill-less system in his mech anyway to conserve spaces

So I've been thinking about that mecha tournament we came up with and heres what I've got

We advertise it on Gretchen's chanel entry fee of 10,000 space bucks where winner fights us to win the pot maybe put up the Kaiser to attract better pilots

Battle royal to start it untill theres 20 mechs left. We offer people who did well but lost a job as our crew

From there a normal tournament with winner facing us

Actually, since you've been put on the spot and this could be a decision with ramifications down the line, how do you want to respond to that?
