... okay. Either there were some shit background rolls, or this is sabotage from the aliens.
Which would also fall under the category of shit background rolls, I suppose.

Eh, from what Poptart said, this seems to have been an ongoing plot running in the background secretly for quite a while.
Anyway, I enjoyed the interaction with Fenella. We should definitely more stuff like that.

More seriously, thanks for letting me know. There's a lot of thread to dig through to find QM posts.
Actually, I was talking about the AN.

Okay, with the "panicked Commissar reaction" out of my system....
Ugh. I think we should make a break for it; literally just hiding seems like it would end poorly, and if soldiers are landing rather than bombs, us just going to a home is a solid choice. I would hope that a society as risk-averse as Garenhuld has some strong laws and traditions about acceptable troop behavior in invaded territory, and "two kids running away scared" should not be high on the list of priority targets.
If they're rounding civilians up already we're in deep bantha poodoo anyway.
Maybe we could start running away at normal human speeds and then "ramp up" a bit to just get away from the troops, before getting to our house and hiding?

So time to start up the discussion. I'm partial to power up and get us out of there, but I don't know if that's the best idea. We could try to get permission from out father to power up which would stop a lot of possible problems from cropping up, but not the most important of Lady Bitch realizing that Jaffur still exists while wiping Jaron's mind of the incident.
Granted, times like this tempt me to let Jaron know Jaffur exists in him, but I think it might be a tad cruel to tell him that he only exists at the expense of another.

In the sheer chaos of the city being bombed and invaded, it's likely that Kakara/Karen can get away with carrying Jaron. And it WOULD make her mom angry. I like that... But I don't like Blonddude's observation that his mother may try to erase the incident from Jaron's mind and in the process find out that Jaffur is not only sealed, but active and capable of breaking through the Seal at least briefly.
I don't agree with the idea behind the "HIDE" option. Because Kakara's not hiding from the bombs; I doubt anything other than cuddling up to a thermonuclear warhead could actually harm her if she has a moment to power up. She's just trying to go home.
You know, I really like the idea of Kakara rushing Jaron to HER home at mildly superhuman speeds, and then just not telling his mother. Maybe she could get permission from her father to power up to, say, the "ten" that is officially allowed for saiyans who work Masqued among humans in hazardous professions? Or a bit farther, but still to relatively low levels where 'fast running' means 'Captain America fast,' not 'Quicksilver fast?'

Yeah, definitely like the idea of power up beyond normal, but only to the level of Captain America shit. That level might be low enough that Lady Bitch doesn't feel the need to burn the incident from Jaron.

Just a reminder, this is being said by a Saiyan.
Yes, context, but still.
I'd suggest powering up, but holding ourself back from moving too quickly, instead using it keep track of everything. Looks like things are going to be bad, Jaron or innocents are in danger? Use our powers as needed.
Remember, we can move faster then humans can see and have telekinesis. Helping people secretly shouldn't be difficult.
...Also, idea:
[ ] If you can make Jaron black-out non-harmfully and non-violently, do so and IT him back to your house. You can pass if off as another episode, or claim that he got knocked down and became unconscious.
-[ ] Then go out and see if you can't help save some lives. With Ki Sense, Telekinesis and speed, you should be able to so secretly without issue.
The second part is just my personal preference.

The first adventure of the great Saiyagirl might be fun, but haven't we appointed Maya for that?
...Come to think of it, what if Maya decides to react by trying to defend the city? She's already a match for any number of merely mortal soldiers.
Or do we have reason to suppose that she runs habitual telepathic scans of his brain and memories on a routine basis? If she does, we have other problems, because she could deduce that Jaffur's cracking the Seal from the inside just from some of what Jaron's experiencing (and dreaming).
Hm.
Rendering Jaron cleanly unconscious and teleporting him home is actually far from the worst idea. If there's a way to do it in our powerset.

I feel once again obligated to say that there's no such thing as 100% non-lethal, but the risk is so low that your operative concern is going to be accidentally concussing him rather than accidentally killing him.

We still might be better off with the "Captain Garenhuld" level power-up and running him home, then... Concussions are not a joke and I'm pretty sure Jaron lacks the characteristic robustness of even the un-powered-up saiyan.
If there were a highly reliable method for just grabbing 'mere squishies' by the ki and squeezing their consciousness into the 'off' position this would be the ideal time to use it, but there may be no such technique (known to us).

How obvious is it if we power up again? Also, knocking Jaron out might be against Pacifist, but it probably doesn't matter while we have Reflective up. Just something to consider if we do pursue that course of action.
Although, thinking on it, we might be able to game the "Jaffur problem" exception to that if we can have Kakara think that revealing her power might cause Lady Bitch to need to clear Jaron's memories which would lead to the discovery of Jaffur still being around which would lead to the bitch doing her best to finish the job.
Another thing we could add to any plan is that if Jaffur makes an appearence again (unlikely as it is) we use that moment to IT to Kakara's house and then cover it up that he got knocked out somehow.

Considering we have telepathy, create some sort of telepath attack?

If he were hit with a telepathic attack, I suspect Jaron would intuitively know we were responsible afterwards, because telepathy is very personal. But that's just, y'know, my opinion.
Hitting him would be. I was imagining the equivalent of anesthetizing him, which is different on some level, at least in my opinion.
Good idea, but it seems to take all Jaffur's strength to manage what little he has; if he had the power to make himself heard/known for longer he'd have used it.

I'm pretty sure we can't make a duplicate of ourselves without Jaron noticing. I mean don't get me wrong, the idea is awesome, but I'm not sure it's viable. Plus, the duplicate's ki would be visible to any remaining alien scouts, and to Dad. One or both would notice, and things would spiral out of hand rapidly.

We only have to distract him for a moment. Also we have very good ki sense we should sense anyone else before they get to us and can IT away.
