Nerv Bridge Simulator XXIV - Quest

[To Eileen] Make sure to keep your cellphone on you, alright? Have fun.

[pull out spaghetti from pockets for breakfast]

Out of interest (first time back to Veeky Forums in quite a while) why are quest threads still on Veeky Forums and not solely on /qst/?

Not trying to cause shit, carry on regardless, it's just that when I saw /qst/ that was my first thought

]Eileen]
[She stops walking abruptly.]

Yeah, sure. [She slams the door on her way out.]

[Rachel]
Well - Shit. I didn't expect that.

Maybe we should have taken the time to go to your room after all. Do you think she heard me cry too? That would be bad. [She smiles. Rachel doesn't seem to take this seriously at all.] Kids gotta be kids, right?

So, what are your plans for today? I was planning on dropping by my apartment to have a good talk with Ji Eun before going to the airbase. We just got a fresh batch of rookie pilots - I have to instill some fear of God unto them.

Would you guys like if I made a PDF with all of your notes and updated npc portraits? I'd link it at the start of each thread. You'd still have to come up with the descriptions though.

Been busy, friend, sorry. I should be able to keep stride now. The pastebin has been updated with your info. pastebin.com/RsZLWiRX

lets not even make jokes of 2 elieens
its delicate stuff

>tfw she had a baise-en-ville with a change of clothes
She totally planned that, didn't she?

No need to cause more unrest in the house of user.

Rachel is dangerous.

I suppose I got to see Sophie about finance. And eventually apologize to Eileen. Both pretty daunting tasks.

Do you guys do the whole Full Metal Jacket routine, or is that just infantry thing?

My theory for Eileens is that we managed to separate tsun and dere into two individual entities.

I can't help but think a pdf would be nice but slow to update, since you'd need to copy descriptions into it each time

I fear I have to investigate some things before the next Angel arrives.

Said things being Dr.s Huges and Wilson. Let's go to the HR guy and try to dig up anything we can on them.

Which means we just critically Kaji'd the tsun.

normally i would say bullshit
this being evangelion, so makes it sense

does that mean that one love us like a father and the other like a man?

Yeah, that Eileen seemed pissed off when she leaved. Maybe that joke wasn't such a good Idea. But come on, Sophie clearly has a soft spot for you. She'll be all bark and no bite.

We usually get them really high in the air and cut the engines while they have the stick. It's a bulletproof way the make them piss their pants. I don't know what Clark make them do though, you'll have to ask him.

Good luck with that. Since our ''meeting'' with the commander I'm afraid to even look at the Science Division building.

Alright, I must go now. [There's a somewhat long, awkward silence.]

Huh, I'll guess we'll have to speak about - You know...

[There's a small, awkward silence.]

...See you tonight? I guess? Bye -

[She leaves your appartment.]

>Where do you want to go, Major?

Finance division

Requisition a Riot Shield before we go

Finance division.

Take a good shower beforehand to get the smell of another woman off us.

Both of these.

>Take a good shower beforehand to get the smell of another woman off us.
Jesus.

That's kinda hot.

both.

Green's a placating color, right? We should probably wear some green.

Not going to be able to follow the thread today, make sure we don't get ourselves killed other voices.

[You take your shower, then head to the nearest guard outpost. The ranking officer is confused by your strange request, but who is going to refuse the Head of Tactical Operations?]

[Armed with your shield, you arrive at the main Finance Division building. Because of the weather (or your impending doom) you're sweating bullets.]

[As you enter the building you feel someone hugging you.]

>sweating bullets.
Good, were going to need those.

INBOUND ENEMIES MAYDAY MAYDAY ALL HANDS MAN YOUR BATTLESTATIONS

death has her eyes on us

>Armed with your shield
He actually did it, the absolute madman

>[As you enter the building you feel someone hugging you.]

Oh god, WE'RE STUCK IN A PS2 GAME!

dont worry we got the god shield

>[As you enter the building you feel someone hugging you.]

Flinch.

>[As you enter the building you feel someone hugging you.]
ROLL ROLL ROLL, god dammit newbs this is why you abuse the third person camera
>not even using Havel's
Git Gud commander

Come on guys, don't be rude.

[She let go of you]

Hi Mark. How are you doing?

What a happy coincidence - I've got some questions regarding the standard hugging procedure. Is it normal that people strongly react when I initiate it? They're always surprised, some even pushed me away. I'm somewhat confused about all of this to be honest.

Are you here to get your paycheck too? I wanted to get an advance so I could buy some furniture for my room. For some reason my stuff got lost on the way here.

you should perfor a standard salute before a hug, dear

Oh thank christ it's just you.

And no, I'm here to handle funding. Which I've been avoiding. Finance is pissed, hence the shield.

Oh holy shit

...

>No smelter helm
It's like you're *trying* to be a scrub

>Is it normal that people strongly react when I initiate it?
Eh, they'll get used to it. Hey, do you mind if I use you as a human shield? Finance wants my head on a platter.

Err... Sorry. I should have elaborated on the hugging procedure. You usually reserve that one for close friends or family. Stick to simple greetings with strangers.

In fact, I'm sorry about that sudden hug the other day. You just reminded me of someone I once knew and I got carried away. I didn't upset you or anything did I?

>I've got some questions regarding the standard hugging procedure. Is it normal that people strongly react when I initiate it? They're always surprised, some even pushed me away. I'm somewhat confused about all of this to be honest.
You should save hugs for only certain people, Florence. Some might take it the wrong way, but you actually just snuck up on me is all.

>Are you here to get your paycheck too? I wanted to get an advance so I could buy some furniture for my room. For some reason my stuff got lost on the way here.
No, I'm here for work stuff. I can't offer you too much advice on home decorating unfortunately; my guests all make fun of my miniature moose woodcarvings.

Just decorate with Make Canada Okay Again hats and it will be alright.

Why would I break my own heart like this

That's was the second paragraph is for

Hugs are only standard procedure after heavy combat.

Your drawings become better and better man. Florence is too cute.

ISN'T SHE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD?!

its a rei situation

For the love of God don't say it aloud.

Dully noted. I'll remember this next time I greet someone from Nerv.

Oh? I didn't know Finance was this dangerous. Do you need any help?

I only know about the math they teach at school though, not the one that require riot gear.

I guess I would be a lousy Nerv pilot if I let my commanding officer lose his head. I'll protect you with my life, Mark. [She look serious...]

Oh? I need to salute and then hug close friend and family? What about colleagues and strangers then? Is there a procedure for that too?

>I didn't upset you or anything did I?
Of course not. I would have preferred that you knocked before entering, though.

Miniature moose woodcarvings? Did you make them? Is that why your friends make fun of them?

A-after heavy combat? [Now she seems really confused.]

>Young miss! There you are. I told you not to-

She's a clone.
Read previous thread.

Clones, Son.

pity they cant do memory uploading.

>Young miss! There you are. I told you not to-
SHIELD BASH!

This is why I brought the shield.

oh shit
HIDEBEHINDSHIELD

You couldn't have missed the smoking ruins when you arrived.

>Young miss! There you are. I told you not to-

Atten-shun! State your name and rank!

>Did you make them? Is that why your friends make fun of them?
You know how to cut me deep, Florence.

I can't stay so heed my advice anons - ask Sophie about Huges and Wilson. If they have ever received salary, the Finance Department has more records on them than the HR.

Whooa man. What's gotten into you?

Don't you recognize me, Major? I gave you my gun last time when met in the Science Division Labs.

You never gave it back, though. They've demoted me and now I'm stuck doing bodyguard work for a while. Oh yeah - My order was to tell this to everyone who met Florence.

There's been a rumor that The First Child has died in the last battle. It's obviously just that- a rumor. She seems quite confused though, the fight must have taken it's toll on her. But I guess you knew all that already.

Alright girl, let's take your paycheck now. We haven't got all day.

[Florence II]
Yes sir! [She turns toward you] Have a nice day, Mark. You'll have to show me those woodcarvings sometimes. And good luck with Finance! Don't lose your head! [She waves at you once she's farther away.]

>Well, no more distraction now. You'll have to face Sophie.

Are we reeeally sure we want to involve more people into our shadowruns? If we ask Finance about them, at least let's try to be subtle.

I kinda feel bad for that guy. We kinda fucked him over, achieved little by doing so and never even gave his gun back .

the great mistery of the universe:
how this guy still has a job in nerv

While we should be cautious about involving others in our shadowruns, we should also garner more allies who can help. She is pretty loyal and is the least likely to die, so she's certainly a candidate for the red pill at least.

[Enter Sophie's office, shield raised as if expecting imminent enemy contact. Make the entrance look as serious and tacticool as possible just for shits and giggles]

I feel like we should try and hook him up somehow to try and make it up to him.
We could at least give him back his gun.

Be careful what you wish for.

Try Rolling

We lost it, and we don't currently have time to go home and go searching to see if an assault rifle fell down the back of the couch.

We should give him a Deagle brand Deagle

Major! [She looks mad as hell]

I can't believe after all we've been through I still have to- have to...

What are you doing?

Come on, Major! This is serious! [She laughs]

>That art upgrade

We will be having this discussion like this until I am convinced you are not going to stab me

[drop the tacticool act and cower behind the shield]
I know it's serious! Your message made that clear already!

...wait, you're not going to kill me?

...

Oh. So, uh, yeah. What can I do for you? Requisitioning this waste of resources in my hands here didn't make the financial problem any noticeably worse... right?

It's almost scary the rate at which cegremo's progressed.

While the post 2 Phillip was a sight to behold, even just the image for the character bio for Sophie seems to have been completely surpassed.

Am I this threatening, Major? Maybe I should be the Head of Tactical Operations, then. Wait- That would mean you'd be the Head of Finance. That would be terrible.

So I worked on everything we discussed and came up with this. I marked the repairs in blue.

Remember that R&D have 3 FUs for their bombs. Ah- I forgot to tell you: Science Division has ''requisitioned'' 5 FUs with the Commander's approval. That means we'll have less Geofront Armored Layers repaired than we expected.

Is this funding allocation alright with you?

>Science Division has ''requisitioned'' 5 FUs with the Commander's approval
>Is this funding allocation alright with you?
No, but I doubt we have any choice.

Everything else looks close enough to the original plan. What about Unit 01? I heard we might be able to get it fully rebuilt soon. Will that be coming out of the main budget, or do we already have that covered?

What's the ETA on the other Evangelion units and Geofront layers? We came way too close on this one. Another attack like this, and...

There's also the matter of our Research Facilities. We can't buy any of their applicable breakthrough, but we still need to assign them to a field.

Please choose two of the following:

>Plugsuit Technology
>Positron Technology
>Unmanned Nuclear Unit Research
>Space Technology Applications
>Magi Supercomputer Development
Actually scratch that one. The Science Division has taken full control of the supercomputer.
>Evangelion Unit Development
>Angel Tech. Reverse-Engineering

Hm, I'll go check up on them later today if you want. As I said yesterday I think they're about to contact you for Unit 01. Unit 02 is definitely out for a while though.

Yeah, I think this is the best we can do considering the circumstances.
Where do I sign it?

>Unmanned Nuclear Unit Research
i suppose some extra hand on the field wont hurt

>>Unmanned Nuclear Unit Research
In plain English, is this "suicide bomber drone with a goddamn nuke"?

At this point I'm getting tempted to give the greenlight for building Jet Alone. Conventional forces keep proving to be useful, so what's the worse that could happen? It'll take some stress off our pilots too.

t. Major 'Bad Decisions' Geist

Maybe this and Eva development? Technically any Eva upgrades can probably also be used on the unmanned unit, might be a good combo.

He's stuck doing bodyguard work, huh? What are the odds that Section 2 Guy gets assigned to guard us (read: make sure we don't get into shit we're not supposed to)

>Unmanned Nuclear Unit Research
>Space Technology Applications
We need space thingies at some point. Some point fast.

>Angel Tech. Reverse-Engineering
>Evangelion Unit Development

yeah plus it would be a unit we can throw at danger without too much worry
plus we might positron plataform it or something

What's the condition of Positron Rifle we already had? Toast or still somewhat functional?

>firing the spooky Solomon rifle from an unmanned unit, meaning there's no risk at all to the kids
Sign me up.
