#IC #Canon: TLL #Ask/Invite

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

Well it can't always be easy to figure out huh? But the fact that those ships can time travel is news to me. But what if that ship was a special case out of them and the others might just be out there? ....But it'll probably be as you said and they might be jumping through time right now.

>Letting out a sigh, Saya looked a the screen before frowning. Shaking her head, she moved to kneel down next to Kasumi to get a better look.

Well that's just great.... Those are ones we won't be able to get to for a long time. Hopefully the empire hasn't already found the angel tech there. Or on the others that are on those routes. But what about the rest of them though? Are they out there in places no one has been to? Or did something happen to those planets?

>>41556182

"Are you alr--aaahh!?"

>Lucia let out with a startled yelp as she tried asking Joel if he was alright, definitely not expecting that box across the room from them to start moving on it own. She was actually considering calling for help, wondering if some strange creature had holed itself up in the infirmary. But that thought quickly vanished when she turned her attention back to Joel, hearing him immediately answer her silent wondering.

>She took a deep breath, wishing she wouldn't get so easily startled so much, but it always seemed like something new would hit her when she least expected it around here. Lucia hoped she would get used to it soon. She still had a look of concern as she listened to Joel try to recall things and hoping it wouldn't cause too much trauma for him to remember.

"You do not remember what you were building? Do you know why you were building something? Did you do anything prior to this?"

CamCountry code: ponychan.png, country type: customflag, valid: 41556245

>>41556219

Don't worry, it's just my arm.

>With a small, awkward pause, he glances at the box across the room.

My prosthetic arm. Don't even know what happened to my old one, lost it a bit ago.

>Distraction passing, the distant look comes over his face, but not in a peaceful way. It's something almost haunted, but not quite.

A weapon. Throwing... a weapon into the future. What does that even mean? I don't have access to any time travel stuff, and the captain would probably rather shoot me in the knees than have me touch the quantum engines.

LuciaCountry code: ponychan.png, country type: customflag, valid: 41556258

>>41556245

>Lucia wanted to kick herself for not realizing that sooner and even having that reaction to begin with. She really needed to get used to the odd things around here, especially if she was planning on staying. Lucia was actually pretty curious about the story behind Joel's missing arm, but she figured now really wasn't the time to bother him about that.

>She quietly nodded as she listened to him try to recall things and took up a datapad to jot some notes down, figuring that might be best, especially if any of the other staff asked about the situation. One of her brows raised as she gave him a puzzled look at that statement.

"Throwing a weapon into the future...? Something had to have happened to make you want to make such an odd decision. Do you remember anything else?"

CamCountry code: ponychan.png, country type: customflag, valid: 41556271

>>41556258

I don't know, I was really upset about Meum, that's all I know.

>He sighs, staring off into the distance which was actually the opposite wall of the infirmary.

A lot of people are. You'd have loved her, she was such an outgoing person. I gave her some shit for being on the slutty side, but she really owned that. She was always... She was always... You'd have loved her.

>He glances back to Lucia, looking her in the eyes and smiling weakly.

And I think she'd have loved to meet you. She liked people in general, really.

LuciaCountry code: ponychan.png, country type: customflag, valid: 41556283

>>41556271

"That is understandable..."

>Lucia really didn't know what else to say to say, especially in trying to help Joel piece together what landed him in the infirmary to begin with. She gave him a nod at the mention of Meum, figuring that was definitely a key to this situation, but she figured he had enough questions for now.

>It hurt her heart to hear him speak of this person and seeing the weak smile on his face, being all too familiar with the pain of losing someone close to you. Lucia gave Joel another sympathetic smile in return.

"So I have heard... I am sure she was a wonderful person, Joel and I would have loved to have met her as well. You know, I do know how this feels..."

CamCountry code: ponychan.png, country type: customflag, valid: 41556313

>>41556283

Yeah. She ran the bar on the ship, y'know. Highwire's got a lot on his plate with her gone. Hope he can find good help there.

>Joel relaxes under the restraints, staring off into the distance again, but this time in an oddly more grounded way, as if he knew exactly what he was staring at.

Wish I could have been there, done something. I should have been, but I wasn't.

<Should have been me.

>When Jo gave her a possible explanation for the familiarity of the form her Lady currently assumed, Momo felt most of her agreeing with that idea. Though there was still one part of her that believed that she must have seen it somewhere else. But now was not the time to be distracted, she already nearly slipped up once and she refused to do it again.

Ah, that must be it my Lady. I have to admit the sense of familiarity distracted me for a moment... But fear not, I am ready to continue!

>Still, it was endearing to see her Lady emulate heroes she admired so much. It made her happy that regardless how much time pasted, there were somethings about Jo that would never change.

One's Echidna which we already know was some sort of... "test bed" planet. There's two others but they're on the far reaches of the galaxy in areas too dangerous to be worth looking into at the moment.

>Kasumi starts logging the areas in or close to Empire territory.

Regardless if they discovered the ruins or not. The Captain's going to want to know about this development.

>Jo put down the bottles for now and then put her finger to her chin, setting them down onto a table in front of them

...trying to decide which two to use

>On the table there were three organic bottles, an octopus, a wolf, and a ninja, and three inorganic ones, a smartphone, a comic, and a light bulb

hmmm...which of these could be a best match...

>She looked to Momo, though the rabbit wouldn't be able to see the smile behind the mask, it was obvious the fox was kind of giddy.

...oh also, a name for this, what do you think of... "Build" ?

>>41556318
We'll have to leave those last two for if it's ever safe to get there. And if Echidna is one that's already known to us... Well we have our work cut out for us to be honest with those ones near the Empire.

>Pushing herself up to stand, the rabbit pulled out her Datapad and started typing on it.

Alright I'll send her a message right now about this. But Is there anything else on that tape or was it only those locations?

Momo Ninjin!aLEJudith.Country code: ponychan.png, country type: customflag, valid: 41556326

>>41556321
>Looking at the object on the table Momo couldn't figure out the relation between these different "bottles", but assumed they could be used in combination with one another much like her lady's current form. Though apparently founding the most suitable combination was paramount.
>As for the name, Momo felt it was a appropriate and said as much to Jo.

I believe that's an apt name for this creation of yours my Lady. I'm glad I was able to contribute to this endeavour in more then just assisting in it's testing.

>That said, the rabbit couldn't help be feel a small bit of concern.

Though... are you sure it is okay to use my essence? What with my... mixed heritage?

Oh that? Well I actually managed to distill two essences from you Momo.

>Jo explained nodding a bit to herself before taking out an attachment for the driver and placing it down
>It seemed intended to attach to the cylinder at the far right of the belt

Though the second essence was unstable in normal bottle, so instead I made it into an addon for the driver.

>She laughs a little to herself as she looks down to it, picking it up in her hand

ahahaha...I have NO IDEA what it would do! But I'm calling it the L switch. since it comes from that part of your biology and ya know, lust.

>>41556322
That seems to be the gist of what's on the tape. We have others to look process though, but we'll have to do that at another time. For now I'm going to compile the locations documented here that are within the Empire's grasp and put it into a detailed report.

>She'd also have to scrape up what intelligence they had on those areas for the report, which might also take some time.

I can only hope we have information the Empire doesn't have already for once...

>Kasumi shuddered to think of what horrors the empire could unleash just with that Influence stuff alone.

I see. Then perhaps it would be prudent to ensure we take precautionary measures?

Or I could test it right now and see what it does while we're in the safety of the holodeck anyway.

>She stated putting a finger to her chin and hmming to herself.

I mean a best match is a best match but this...this could be anything!

>Very suddenly Jo shoves the device onto the driver

Build Up!

>And she spins her lever on her belt before...

Wow! I didn't think it'd do something like this!

>>41556328
Well if the empire has found that info, they're keeping real quiet about it. I guess all we can do for now is hope that they haven't found anything yet around those planets. But while you work on that report, I'll let Charlotte know to be expecting it from you.

>Tapping on her datapad, she typed up a quick message before sending it off. Turning away, she looked back at her drink for a second before shaking her head.

Do you know if we're near any of those planets that's on the known traveling routes?

>To Jo, the rabbit didn't seem to react at first but she could see hearts quickly bloom in her eyes before she shook her had and forced herself back into the here and now for the second time.

A-ah! Y-yes! Hitting, the punching... thing. Ahem... prepare yourself my Lady!

>Taking a moment to get herself ready, Momo quickly closed the distance between her and her Lady. She threw out a rather strong fist straight at Jo, expecting that she'd be ready for it.

>Going though the list once again, Kasumi nods in affirmation.

There's one... however I doubt we'll be looking into it anytime soon. Charlotte's made it clear that safely offloading the refugees we have aboard is one of our top priorities. Asterio, myself, and a few others are busy looking into the logistics of that and preparing our options.

>Kasumi found herself relieved that it was finally happening. She knew that eventually they'd get caught in the cross fire... though at least they got most of them back instead of a heavier toll for this lesson.

Even if that was the case, I'm not sure if anyone would be inclined to venture into Angel tech ruins anytime soon after what we experienced.

>>41556313

>It was really lucky for Joel that Lucia lacked the ability to read minds, otherwise he would have gotten scolded for even thinking that. Well, a concerned and well-meaning scolding anyway. Still, she could at least see the inner turmoil he was dealing with just from muddled and erratic energy of his aura, and that just made her wish she could do something more than just talk to him and take care of his health.

"I know Joel. Trust me, I really do know this pain. But you are going to drive yourself crazy if you stay within those thoughts... The past cannot be changed, and I am sure she would have wanted you and the rest of the crew to keep moving forward."

CamCountry code: ponychan.png, country type: customflag, valid: 41556374

>>41556373

Yeah, that's what she'd...

<Moving forward.

>His gaze snaps forward again, incredibly focused on something in the middle distance yet again.

Yeah. Moving forward, that was it. Fling a light into the future, leave something behind. I think I know what I made. I made the biggest gun I could.

>His gaze snaps back to Lucia, making unflinching eye contact that seemed almost like a physical force, a grin forming on his face.

Heh. Heheahahaha. But that's not the best part.

>A loud crash echoes from the corridor, with shouts faintly audible and growing closer. Joel's grin only grows as he begins staring at the door intently.

It's alive.

LuciaCountry code: ponychan.png, country type: customflag, valid: 41556375

>>41556374

"Joel?"

>Lucia still continued to look on in worry, wondering if she had said something wrong as Joel just trailed off with what he was saying for a brief moment. And then concern became confusion... a big gun? She couldn't even begin to decipher what he was trying to say and the look he shot towards her made her flinch slightly, though she couldn't look away from him. Who in the world was this guy really? Why was he laughing like that all of the sudden? Wait...

>Lucia slowly stood up, her attention drifting towards the entrance to the medbay as she prepared to go on the defensive.

"...Joel. What did you do?"

>>41556375

Let her in, Lucia. She's here to find me.

>The door slowly slides open to reveal a young woman standing in the hallway, with strange clothing and short blonde hair. At a brief glimpse beyond, her odd shoulders and hips, along with extremely odd hoof-like feet reveal her true mechanical nature.

>As well as the young man in a heavily modified Mobile Suit pilot outfit hanging around her waist in a vain effort to slow her down at all. Slowly and rhythmically, she bounces a fist on his head to try and dislodge him.

Ow. Ow. Stop that.

>The girl steps forward, finally reaching down and prying the incredibly average looking young man off her effortlessly and letting him thud to the floor. She stares past Lucia at Joel, whose grin has grown outright manic.

Hello, father.

>There is a very long moment of silence as the words echo, her voice blatantly synthesized, but oddly elegant in a way. Nervously, the clone pilot scrambling away from her feet speaks up.

Excuse me what the hell.

LuciaCountry code: ponychan.png, country type: customflag, valid: 41556377

>>41556376

>'She'? Lucia was even more confused now on top of being afraid something horrible was going to come tearing into the medbay at any second. Though, that didn't stop her from placing herself between her patient and whatever was going to come through that door, fully prepared to keep Joel out of harm's way.

>...But it seemed as if there wasn't any cause for alarm afterall, as Lucia just quietly watched the young woman make her way into the medbay, dragging an unfamiliar face with her. Lucia still kept close to Joel, but her defensive stance relaxed slightly as she quickly took in the woman's appearance, definitely taking note of her mechanical nature. She also winced at the poor man getting popped in the head and Lucia just gave him an awkward look and a wave before turning her attention back to the robot.

"Huh?"

>Did she hear that right? Did this girl just call Joel 'father'? This day just got weirder and weirder and Lucia wasn't sure how to deal with it all. She sighed, running a hand through her hair briefly before turning her attention to Joel again.

"What is going on here?"

I know, I have a couple of planets in mind myself but going to have to get in touch with one of them. I'm not entirely sure if they're up for anyone coming to live with them yet. I'll have to check on the crew on the Marveller too and see what they're going to do also. Because I don't know what they want to do yet...

>Putting the pad away, she folded her arms to gaze down at the floor.

I know no one will want to go into the ruins or near anything Angel related after what happened. I'm just wishing we had away to make sure no one else finds it and possibly goes through that.

>Kasumi spoke absentmindedly as she started to right the first draft of her report on her findings.

It might be better do to nothing at all. Those ruins have been hidden away from prying eyes ever since the dawn of space travel. Trying to do something about it now might have the opposite effect we intended.

>She also doubted that even friendly factions wouldn't be sorely tempted to into going to a Vitrum ruin to grab whatever technology they could get their hands on, regardless of what hell it unleashed afterwards. Self interest had a bad habit of grabbing the controls from sanity in situations like that.

No, I think it's better we keep this as quiet as possible. So to that end... I'd like for this information to be top secret, do our damnedest to keep our more... "Recklessly exploitative" crew members from going on unsanctioned expeditions.

>She clinched her jaw slightly as her voice box continued to do the speaking for her. Feeling a sting of anxiousness as she finished her statement on the matter. Did she care about everyone on the ship? Of course, in her own way. Did she think that more then a few of them were not always the most rational people and prone to drastic actions in the right situations? Very much so. The promise of "miracle technology", regardless of how they'd utilise it, was the last thing she wanted to have come to their attention, waiting in the back of their minds until the next desperate situation comes along to tempt them with it's allure.

You have a good point there, so I'll keep everything about this to myself. Be sure to tell Charlotte the same thing in your report. Just the three of us knowing about it should be fine.

>Turning towards the vcr, the rabbit lowered her ears. Kneeling down,she took a closer look at it.
This tape will need to be taken care of too. Just so no one else finds out whats on it. Finding a good place to store it like somewhere no one really goes on this ship. Or somewhere with Charlotte.

>Standing back up, she tapped her foot against the floor nervously. Thinking on just how bad it could get depending on who finds out. Shaking her head to clear her mind of such thoughts, Saya looked over to watch Kasumi type.

I hope this all works out....

Okay so assume I'm somehow clueless on this. Because I am. I have some vague memories, but that's it.

I am CERA. Cybernetic Emotional Replication Apparatus. My files indicate this to be an incredibly forced acronym for the purposes of aesthetics.

>It was a lot dumber than that.

I hate you so much, Joel.

>While Lucia made sure both Joel and Romeo were comfortable, and CERA was keeping her hands to herself, she glanced towards the entrance of the medbay at the sound of an unfamiliar voice, who was this? Well, there was no time for pondering these things as Lucia set about getting some bandages.

yes, you did, but you're not willing to do what it takes, how many Imperials escaped on your watch? You're a self proclaimed pacifist, you don't kill, you've said

and why should I?

Sacrifices are made here! We're fighting for the sake of freedom of Z- of the Galaxy here!

I lost my sister on this ship and it wasn't even over your Inari damned war

She shouldn't have died you're right, she wasn't a registered soldier, and for your part you aren't either.

I'm not leaving this crew, and I'm going to keep fighting too you know

Even though you know staying here means people are going to be dying?

Especially because of that, I'm here to save as many lives as I can and help people. I'm fighting for love and peace here, Nanashi.

I'm worried you should be able to do more than that with a Jovian prototype. The ones the rebels have seen... Some quite unseemly ideas and people, to say the absolute least of it.

>He sighed, face softening slightly as his sunglasses retracted, revealing his odd grey eyes, which he turned up to the camera,

At least do your meddling kin this favor, Anne. Stop by the offices of one Mister Yorstall Mulben on your way, and ask for "Iluka's case." It should give you the firepower you need for this.

You still need some source of income, heroism or no. There's a fine young man on the ship who manages to balance his fighting the empire with a business career. A touch strange, but he has a fine work ethic.

Still, Lucia couldn't help but smile at this, briefly thinking of her own mechanical family, who was practically a mother to her. Of course, she snapped herself out of those thoughts at what CERA said.

"Well, good! I would like to think we are friends! A-And thank you! You are rather pretty yourself!"

>Luckily for Joel, Lucia didn't quite catch on that it was him who has listed her as that, and not CERA just simply complimenting her.
