LLLLADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE JOEL MARAVALLE SHOW!

>The serenity of the pristine new set was instantly shattered, it's host charging onstage with a berserker shriek, a gleaming golden battleaxe clutched in both hands as he immediately set to work dismembering his polished desk with wild attacks. A marathon of destruction followed as he mangled the furniture with every variety of tool at his disposal.

>After several minutes of this, almost the entire set reduced to rubble, he collapsed into his chair. Instantly, the holodeck shimmered, and the debris vanished, replaced by brand new, identical furniture.

>For several long moments, Joel stares into the middle distance, before standing up and sauntering over to a microphone by the front of the stage.

Hey, hey everyone!

>He shouted to a blatantly fake audience consisting of the same five people in vaguely different outfits, with the sole example of the hulking Pax Cultura, looking fairly awkward in the face of Joel's chaos.

Welcome to the first episode of the show, it's a great thing to finally get this started, and I'm hoping it only gets better.

>Behind him, a bookshelf glitches, turning into a wireframe before turning itself inside out and beginning to rattle ominously.

We've had a pretty crazy time lately, pretty crazy time. We've got Logan and some weird chick going and rescuing some new guys from some asshole, those lesbian rocks joined up, that's pretty neat. They've got a kid who turns into a murderous monster, I like that one. You've got those two Saiyans on a quest for a healing flower or some shit, that other Saiyan getting in a fight to rescue her girlfriend from her asshole mom's hired thug. Oh! It's that wrestler! I almost forgot! That's cool.

>The bookshelf returns to it's wooden texture, flashing through a dozen other textures on the way, before violently exploding, the shards vanishing as safety protocols finally kick in.

You've got that one asshole and his robot wife investigating a ghost ship. I hope he dies, that'd make me happy. Bolone's brother showed up, too. He's an asshole but a cool one. But the important bit is we're on vacation! We're here in the Galactic Protectorate, and we're having a fantastic time, by which I mean Emily's been dragging me around museums for a solid three weeks now. But the race is tomorrow! See me at the Moreau Open in my custom Thorson Kestrel!

>He coughs, shifting.

Oh yeah, we're supposed to have a co-host. He'll be around later, scout's honor. I think he's still hiding.

>Abruptly, the door explodes inward violently as Leena makes her entrance.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT LADY SHIJOU YOU MOTHERFU--"

<WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK

"I just sincerely hope his contact can find my crew soon... I do not want my brother to worry too much. He gets stressed out enough as it is."

Lucia only hoped none of them were hurt... or worse, especially without her around. She snapped herself out of her little worried daydream when Joel said this and she blinked as she looked at him in surprise. Well, she did want to get to know people on this ship better...

>A relatively young looking girl wearing a pair of thick brimmed red glasses, lilac hair that made her stick out like a sore thumb, and a simple white labcoat, sat in front of a laptop she'd been using to interface with the vessel's systems
It's been approximately 4 days since the Empire dispatched my new partner and I to head towards the Echidna System for my angel researching endeavors. The faster than light travel in this ship is a bit lacking, but I've been modifying and making due, if my modifications have gone well, our next light speed jump should bring us into Echidna's orbit. I've yet to ask my companion her views on Echidna, but hopefully it shouldn't be too difficult to hide the connection she and the echidnans share.

>She huffs and finishes typing it up before slumping back a bit

Public Log end, extend into Private Audio Log, restrict to access code Kuiper NH2

It's my hope that the Virtrum technology I find can help me complete and activate Neptune. Hopefully the technology can both help stabilize the core I built for her and give me a path to completing my own modifications.

>She stated in a serious tone, hunched over her laptop now, eyes narrowed before she lets out a deep sigh

It's probably too much to hope for...but just maybe they might even have a way for me to recover Natalie and place her into Neptune...

>The young woman's gaze falls upon the only other passenger aboard this ship with her, another young woman who was attempting to fight off the boredom of space travel with a sparring match against an Empire issue training drone. Her long blue hair flowed liked water behind her as she bent, swayed, and sidestepped the drone's every attempt to hit her.

Is this really the maximum setting?

>The little black orb darted around the woman in a blur of speed, firing painful yet harmless laser pulses at her from difficult angles. Yet in spite of its tenacity, it seemed to be little more than minor entertainment to her at best having no trouble avoiding being shot with almost passive focus on her task. And minor entertainment was clearly not what she was looking for as she huffed in disappointment.

I was expecting something more lethal. Maybe something one of their egg heads came up with? Being sent this though...

>She threw her fist out to her side, anticipating the path the drone was going to go and intercepted it handily. The struck drone wobbles in the air for a moment before powering down, slowly coming to rest on the floor near the woman's feet.

Disappointing.

>Still it kept her sane for this long trip through the stars, even if it was no more then a toy to her, so she picked the drone up and set it back on a shelf for later use in the day. Her eyes glance over at the scientist she'd been tasked with escorting on this mission as she recorded her logs. This young woman, this "Sigma", that she was assigned to. Honestly, she didn't know what to think of the situation, as this task seemed... an incorrect use of her skills. Spearheading planetary invasions? Good. Stamping out rebellions on subjugated planets? A worthy use of her time. Assassinating high priority targets? As long as they put up a fight, she was happy. A weapon was meant to be thrown at the enemy, after all. To deal out death and destruction and think of little else. It was what she was built for after all.

>...But this? Guard duty was not something she was meant to do, so she was left to wonder why she was chosen for the task. Was it because of Echidna's origins as a test bed for Virtrum biological experiments and that made for a tenuous connection to herself? Allowing her access to the planet's hidden secrets? No, they'd have just asked her for the "keys" so to speak and unlocked the doors themselves instead of making her do it were that the case. Did she over-preform perhaps? Was her ability in combat seen as a liability if she ever turned? She thought she made it quite clear; she'd side with the strongest faction, and that was clearly the Empire. Though perhaps her statement shown light on the Empire's concern about its hold in the galaxy? Well, whatever. Once this assignment is over and done with she could go back to doing what she was meant to do and all this thinking could be put aside.

Ah, there you are, Gai.

I thought you should know we'll be arriving at Echidna ahead of schedule, our next jump will land us in Echidnan orbit.

>She states with a confident nod

The Empire gave us a small fuel efficient craft deeming my research...minimal priority, but I've modified the engines so we'll be drawing energy from Transwarp space.

>She wasn't able to really get a feel for the thoughts running through the weapon's head or the disappointment she had in the assignment, but she did notice the disappointment with the drone.

You know if you wanted, I could upgrade that drone to give you a bit of a challenge, we have time before the engines are charged enough for our jump, and my other projects need at the very least, Omniclay, to complete.

>The hidden intention behind her helpful offer was not lost on the Gae Bolg. The moment the two meant prior to this journey, when Sigma found out what she was, the weapon could see the absolute glee in her eyes. That excitement of wanting to study the holy weapon in great depth was apparent to her and she didn't know how to feel about it really.
>She never did like it when egg heads around her wanted to see what made her trick. Perhaps seeming how other "topics of interest" were treated by the Empire's scientists left more of an impression on her then she cared to admit and the idea of being disassembled on some table in a dingy workshop didn't sit well with her. Being in pieces and unable to move would be incredibly boring after all.

Ai, and what, exactly, would I have to indulge you with in compensation lass?

>She'd have said no in another other situation but the trip had been long and she was stuck in a metal tube with no proper challenge for herself. She'd have slept the whole trip had she not done enough sleeping for multiple life times already while in that whole in the ground she was in before the Empire dug her up on pure chance.
>The only good news was that only one more jump would be needed before she had a whole planet to be her training ground again. Hopefully whatever Sigma wanted wouldn't be too demanding.

>Gae liked the travel light, and her design made it so that she never actually needed to take supplies with her. Or actually eat for that matter.

Grilled meat would actually be great, need a good bit of protein after spending all that time futzing with the engines, keeps the mind sharp and the blood pumping, you know?

>She casually flips over the slabs of meat to sear the other side and make sure they cooked evenly.

Dunno, people taste like slightly off pork, least humans do. Though individual quality depends on what they eat regularly. Anyone worth eating has to be in peak physical condition with a proper healthy diet. Though in a pinch, one can't get too picky...

>How did Gae know this? Well it was probably more likely that the Angels had some form of data on it... and hopefully it wasn't from experience.

Either way, it won't be an issue. Echidna was made with a fine tuned and robust ecosystem, we won't be have to worry about finding choice meals.

Well yeah, I'm familiar with the phrase "Long Pork", my point is I'd rather not eat something that's sapient. I'm a little more ethical than the bosses.

>She states, eyes narrowed, wincing at the "In a pinch" statement, not having paid much mind to the rest of the talk of people eating.

but regardless...that's good, though I do wonder what variations there are between Echidnan wild life and Earth wild life, considering how many Angel things seem to resemble Earth culture I wonder if they just kind of...ripped off the wild animals too

>Rubbing her chin and humming to herself though, she ponders

By the way what sort of specific upgrades or weapon replications would you like to see in the drone? I can add a hardlight projector to diversify its weapon options.

Hmmm upgrade it's blaster to shoot MAC rounds, proximity mines, maybe a plasma thrower... Honestly it's probably be easier to pull up an inventory of nearest Empire weapon storage facility and hit "apply all." ...I never did get to test that newest siege robot of theirs...

While I can definitely set those up with the drone, I feel like that's less of a challenge increase and more of just a damage increase wouldn't you say? What if I set it up with a hardlight body as well so it could project a person outward, give more hand on hand training options?

>She questions as she looks down to the meal, bowing politely for a moment

Thank you for your hard work on the meal!

>She'd grin a bit before digging into it.

But yeah, I'm a little surprised by your focusing on its potential fire power capabilities and not what else I could upgrade it to do. You always seemed to be more of a melee focused fighter, so having a common humanoid type hardlight shape to spar against seems prudent.

>Cutting of a large chunk of meat for herself to chomp down on, the weapon thinks about her response for a moment.

I guess I was a little too focused on fire power? I mean an actually hard-light projection would be nice, yeah. Though honestly some of that technically stuff flies over my head even if it's dated by my creator's standards...

>Plus she found it rather dry. Why sit at a desk all day doing science when you could be outside fighting for your live? ...Then again, that was the mentality of a weapon constantly seeking challenge to better herself.

Virtum research into the relationship between humans and gambling was extensive, as it seemed to be a big form of entertainment of the species as a whole and every culture has it's own form games of chance, ever since humanity progressed enough to trade and create currency.

That's still legal!?

People forget I'm Joel's cousin fairly often. With how much shorter he is, and how young he can look, people used to think I was his father.

>He chuckles, delicately lifting the lid of the old box off to reveal an assortment of old photo albums, scrapbooks, and the like.

Near the start of the war, when your father was called back into active service again, he had my father put these away for safekeeping. Not even Joel's seen some of these. For example...

>He selects one of the albums, opening it with extreme caution to a photo depicting a strong adult man sitting in an armchair in a hospital room, a swaddled infant sleeping under each arm. He smiles blearily at the camera in the manner of the overtired, but his expression is clearly one of intense pride.

This is him the day you were born.

I knew Joel had a sister. I didn't know it was you, but I knew there was another kid and she was out there somewhere. I was only a kid when you were born, but I remember seeing you. When your mother...

>Aleks sighs, slumping into a sitting position across the table from her and rubbing the bridge of his nose with one large hand.

When your mother took you. She just vanished in the night, leaving Joel at our house suddenly. My father took me aside the next month and told me not to talk about you. He'd talked with your father for weeks about it, and they decided to let Joel forget about you. Not... to pretend you didn't exist, but because we didn't know if you were alive. Imagine having that burden your whole life, knowing your sister was somewhere out there, maybe even dead. It might not have been the right thing, or even for a good reason, but I want you to know there was a reason.

>>41557994

First, your father did look for you. He started the day your mother left, and he never stopped. But with the Spoilist regime only spreading across the world, it only got harder and harder to find any intelligence about you or your mother.

>Reaching into the side of the box, he produced a small folder. Opening it, he revealed a number of what seemed to be pictures from security camera feeds depicting a short woman with an imperious gaze from a single eye, her right one covered by a plain black patch as she refuels her car at a gas station. A small child is just barely visible sleeping in a car seat in the back of the car.

Your mother's name is Juno. We knew she had Bardonese heritage, but we never knew she had contacts in the Empire. She went off and met with a Bardonese agent who'd made his way into the country, then the two of them just... vanished, along with you. We never knew what happened.

>Reaching into his pocket, he pulls out a small thumb drive and sets it on the table.

All the data's in here so you can check it yourself. This is freshly in from back home, and I wanted to tell you personally. The files were encrypted, and we only just now managed to crack them. We now know what your mother did. She defected, as we thought. But it was only the start. She was recruited by UMBRADIV.

>>41557996

No. They're all but dismantled. She spent the whole war working for them, and was one of the agents we hadn't caught yet when the Jupiter Empire rolled into town.

>He shifts as he hands her the thumbdrive, taking out some more albums and scrapbooks, flipping through them as he continued.

We believe she may have defected to the Jupiter Empire. They took an unknown number of assets from UMBRADIV facilities during their invasion, including an unidentified project helmed by Juno. All the data from it was scrubbed except a name we recovered. The same project name Joel and Jo recovered from the Jupiter Empire vessel Barbarous King. Project: Heracles. The container for said project, as you likely know, had been ruptured from the inside and the project had slaughtered the crew and left the computer all but destroyed. We don't know who or what it was, but it's out there somewhere. And so is your mother.

...Guess this is just another step in finding them, huh?

>she said, setting the scrapbook down.

Whatever Juno has started, this Project Heracles, I'll finish. That's how it usually works, doesn't it? As for where I start, I'll look to the thumbdrive first if it has any hints on where either of them might be... I'll likely have to fight whatever came out of that vessel.

Cam 10 Aug 2019 23:21:00 GMT No.41557999

>>41557998

Correct. This Heracles is most likely hostile and extremely dangerous. We still don't entirely understand what little we can glean about the project's nature, from cybernetics to extreme experimentation with the Nemean Gland.

>He picks up another one of the books, looking it over, turning it in his large hands.

But in the meantime, I'd like you to look over all of these. This is your history, and even if you don't think of yourself as a Maravalle, I want you to understand you have just as much of a right to this as I do, just as much as Joel does. You come from a long line of soldiers, and despite every disadvantage you've had put in front of you, you've already more than lived up to it. Both of you.

>He opens the book again, showing a picture of the same brown-haired man, his build tall and strong. He gazes at the camera, clearly caught in the middle of playing an old acoustic guitar, and his smile is a broad, almost lopsided one.

He would be so proud of you, Io. That much I'm sure of.
