I should point out that meetings between the leadership of both clans are not supposed to b frequent and that Berra might not want us to meet her when we had an uncharacteristic angry blow out from reasons unknown earlier in the day. I did mean it when I said the chances were pretty low.

See, you're right as a matter of fact, buuut...

The thing is, anything even tangentially related to Dandeer might be enough to set Kakara off. That increases the risk.

We could also try to develope the command theory. Or as was pointed out earlier, perfect multiform since Kakara likes experimenting with Ki. A social action might be warranted too since we were concerned about her stress levels earlier.

I'm not sure about Command Theory, though I forget whether we actually HAVE it at Exceptional or just have the potential to train it up. Either way, the aliens are likely to get here before we can rank up the skill again, I suspect. However, this may be an issue where more clueful people know more than me.

Don't we still have the advantages of multiform?

[k] Choosing is for chumps who don't have multiform
-[k] multiform 1
-[k] multiform 2
-[k] multiform 3

I'd rather cultivate Perfect Multiform alone (just Kakara, herself, her other self, and their ki) than try to do lots of busy stressful stuff while multiforming. Especially since that would contribute to yet another kind of fatigue.

"Hm." She purses his lips, still eyeing you. "You're not eating enough. Come inside. I'll make some food."

In three words, Apra managed to change genders! No but seriously it should be 'her lips'.

PoptartProdigy said:
It is astounding how much good a belly full of food can can do.

'can can do'. Well, I guess you can do the can can, but in context the extra can is likely an error.

"It let me through," you say. "That's what was weird about it. I mean, other than her managing to seal something against seers. But it let me through." He give her an uneasy look. "It...said that the, 'memory,' was restricted to members of House Vegeta."

'He give her an uneasy look' was almost certainly meant to be you over 'he'.

It occurs to me that while Apra no doubt knows that the Gokun royal family has also been illegitimate offspring of the Vegetan line for several generations, I'm not sure Berra does.

If Berra does know, he may actually have been banking on this for quite some time. At some future time, he might have planned to simply assert that his descent from the Vegetan throne allows him to claim the title of Prince of Saiyans, and frankly a lot of Vegetans might, eventually, prefer this outcome to the alternative of being ruled by Regent Dandeer. Especially as it became clear that Jaffur wasn't ever going to be getting unsealed to sit the throne himself.

The only person likely to contest him would be Yammar, and frankly, Berra might well decide "screw it, I can take the guy if I have to." Yammar's not a young man, and Berra is the only person on the planet with an Elite skill in a combat-relevant area, as far as I know.

We have it at talented and are free to raise it to exceptional. Every other saiyan is capped at talented and it is noted that Kakara has the potential to be very good at training it because it is an intelectual persuit that also relates to ki on top of that and her mind goes to the logistical aspect first.

From how he has been building us up to the entire saiyan race and how unpopular he is among Vegetans, if he knows it is more likely he would want us as the Princess instead of trying to do it himself, since he knows we would probably screw Dandeer at the first chance we got anyways and he still has fond memories of her.

True, that's plausible. Though until the last several months our breach with Dandeer was not public and Berra may have hoped it was a childish thing we'd grow out of once we understood the necessity.

It's worth differentiating between The Plan, as envisioned by a competent and talented NPC who knows a lot of the facts about the setting besides a few critical ones known only to us... Versus how we would go about optimally achieving his plan depending on what we know.

And I do believe that it's time to open the vote.

[X][MAYA] Yes, that must have scared the hell out of her.

[x][NIGHT] Research Multiform. Time to get that fourth clone - and start figuring out Perfect Multiform.
