Caught this while rereading.

Maybe I'm reading this wrong but did Herakles and Raksha just wipe out Pinnacle?

As a side note, Type Zero Subjugation Squads have awesome names. Ragnarok? Deicide? Last Word?

Gotta wonder what the MC's flight will be named later on in the series.
... Now that you have quoted it, that part about 'another appearing' sounds potentially major, if that means another Type Zero formed from the remnants of the destroyed 300's.

[X]Breakfast: Bath and clean. Eat breakfast. Do other normal things. Apologies to your Flight for so rudely leaving last night.
[X]Morning: Continue as is. (Transcendent Offense)

[X]Evening: Continue down the list.
-[X] ... but not before dropping by the Crafting Club and thanking them for the silverware gift. Send your regards to the Baking Club too for the thought.)

Other vote needs to take out that 'now answering questions' part to be safe after that near miss.

I think people need to relax a bit about the trauma causing of the sim. It's alright, from a narrative perspective it was a good move.

I'm petty sure they just signed off as Pinnacle (the emergency response team) and signed on as Last Word, the Type Zero Subjugation Squad. Hence why they appeared in the same place. They were simply switching roles, possibly entailing different rules of engagement and procedures.
 
Regarding Anna as a wendigo, basically, a wendigo is a hunger spirit that possesses someone who eats the dead. It makes them all creepy and constantly hungry to kill and eat the living. The song's not exactly a hard and fast rule ;)

It's unclear as to whether or not Anna's town descended to human cannibalism, but either way, Durga is effectively a spirit that possessed Anna, and she kills and eats the Antagonists. So from the perspective of the Antagonists, she'd certainly fit. Could even argue that Anna is the spirit that possessed Durga to make Durga do all that :D
Depends on which particular legend of the wendigo you follow. Some require that you eat family, and others just require that you cause someone else to starve to death because you were hoarding.
Well uh…

Um, a distraction!
Anna is getting better at the social. Yay!
Instructor Laurent confirmed badass.

Come to think of it, all old valks confirmed badasses.
You pull in with the rest of the flight, mute your comm channels, and you scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream.
Anna requires all the hugs
It was like… it was like Anna was trying to eat the Type Five.
Anna literally eats Types for breakfast.

Now, some legends of the wendigo say that you have to eat family to become a wendigo, would mean that Durga or Anna are actually Antagonists, or the Antagonists are humans from a parallel world that are desperately running from something, or that Valk cores and Antagonists are descended from the same thing.

Or perhaps that Durga eats other Valk cores.

[ID Confirm: Type Zero Subjugation Squadron: Deicide]
Theophagy,
Death of the gods/End of the world, God-killing, and God-eater squadrons. These names are not ominous at all. Come to think of it, why isn't the Emergency Fast Response Squadron Deus Exit (god has left/god leaves)rather than Deus Ex (god from, implied Deus Ex Machina, god from the machine)
Before you marshal your thoughts as to consider why you did not cocoon yourself in the soft comfort of your own bed last night
That is a very good question. One would think that if we passed out that Durga could at least pilot us to flop down on the blanket-and-pillow redoubt.
Setsuna probably lewdest of the group.
Anna: Lacks context
Shuri: Has yet to consider anyone in the class (aside from Sandra) in a manner remotely approaching lewdness.
Sandra: Views lewdness as just another tool to use to try and ensure maximum group cohesion.
Koji: Lilies
Setsuna: Goddammit girl, a simulator battle is not the time to worry about whether she's prettier than you, or whether the boy you like finds her prettier than you.
Yukari: Too busy for lewds.

Praise be, an update. @Avalanche , Maybe you could get multiple editors if that would help speed it up? It's not as if you'd lack for volunteers.
 
I don't see a compelling reason why not in that, though.
eh, generally after you've had to rely on someone to do essential life tasks for you, you would want to wait a bit for any serious discussions, so that both parties can politely pretend that the power imbalance isn't present. That, and I'm thinking Anna's probably not in the best headspace for much of anything today, really. I don't see her as capable of much intense thinking right now. Today should be a day of getting closer to an even keel.

Faster updates if we uh break it down into smaller parts of a day? I hope...

Anyway now that my kneejerk reaction is over, I mean man that first two paragraphs of the sim starting basically told me 'Oh shi this isn't good'.

But yeah, ANNA + TRAUMA = Durga mode.
So not gonna deal with her Trauma that way. Next guy who suggests throwing her off the deep end we need to quote UPDATE 15 in a dramatic fashion before going lawl nope.


Let's avoid Historical Sims entirely. I do not think they will end well from now on. We also did not get that much of a lore dump so for people who say BUT I WANT LORE, you didn't get much of it, now did ya?
 
Can't muster any commentary. I'll just say thanks, @Avalanche, and also @LegacySC, for the hard work.

Crap, I forgot to vote for lunch... what's the option for, with the instructors?

[X]Lunch: Visit the instructors' lounge

I bet I got it wrong though... :(

Am hoping the next episode has coke-zero doing a little introspection. Not melancholy exactly, just considering the scale of the conflict and that rather than high drama bombast real offensives were draining slogs where things are near constantly chaotic. And yeah, we really don't need to push that trauma button, this is still very early days we can afford to take a few days off-camera.
 
All of you voting for dinner/evening...

Dudes. This is the vote for what you do during the first half of the day.

That is; breakfast, morning, lunch. (Unless you all want a ~15K word+ update that has Anna pass over all sorts of things) The evening option in the vote is a 'still to come' note, I even note it will be subject to a vote following next update. Like c'mon guys, at least read the voting section before making a vote.

You know what, I'll just not include 'still to come' sections in the future.

Hey GM, did Anna do anything that could have increased her Character Relevance score in that battle?

Well, okay, if Koujiro is the viewpoint character, then he likely didn't even notice most of what Anna was up to, so that's....

Never mind me, this breakfast will be awesome enough as it is.

Can't wait for the week to finish, and the Timeskips to begin occurring.

No Trauma. No Trauma. No Trauma.
Trust in Avalanche. Trust in Avalanche. Trust in Avalanche.
 
Tenses were weird through the update, sometimes combining present and past tense in a single sentence.
Much trauma. Very ouch. Yay for shiny update!

[X]Breakfast: Bath and clean. Eat breakfast. Do other normal things. Apologize to your Flight for so rudely leaving last night.
[X]Breakfast: Listen to the flight discussing their performance during the scenario, suggest ways for flight members to improve.
[X]Morning: Continue as is. (Transcendent Offense)
[X]Lunch: Pay a visit to the Instructor's Lounge.

Sandra is going to do her best to steer the conversation to not poke still-bleeding wounds. So, going narrow-focus on how the flight did in combat likely seems a good way to get Anna to engage without doing so.
 
Plans for today?
