Sorry, I mentioned it there and no one seemed to notice.
EDIT: Summed up, Bardock found proof of Frieza's backstapping early enougb that some portion of the Saiyan race managed to flee the planet before it was destroyed. As a result, when Raditz came to earth, it was to find his brother and get him out of there, rather than to recruit him. However, things went horribly wrong and Goku and Gohan were captured by the PTO. The quest follows Krillin and the other Z-Fighters as they attempt to rescue the duo, as well as Chi-Chi and Bulma, who themselves disapeared some time afterwards.
Also, Frieza is a sadistic bastard, news at eleven.

So we can learn other secret techniques from the Z fighters.
Do you mean the crackfic, or the ones that are obvious AUs but otherwise serious?
My issue is the Scouts dying - I like those guys.
Interacting with alternate universes, next Tinkering roll, next Deception roll, or finding/getting into secret areas.
In fairness, that's half the fun in 3E.
Seriously, link it in your signature. Faster, stays on topic, has strong lasting effects.

@PoptartProdigy, please don't use my cookie.
[X] The original plan. As the vision counseled, Kakara will break her restraints, wreak havoc in order to give the Senzus an opportunity to escape, and send messages to as many people as she can giving them the coordinates to Senzu Hall and an order to get under cover. When she is finally subdued, she will cast herself free in a mind projection to escape Sealing. She'll find a safe place to anchor, and find a way to get stronger in preparation for her return later.
..I don't like the idea of trying to destabilize Dandeer, it really seems it could backfire massively, and if we convince her she's going to hell I have absolutely no idea what she'll do (for instance, she could decide to take her hate for Kakara out on Fennella/the Misfits, especially if she thinks she has nothing to lose).
She's unstable enough already, so there's no knowing what would happen if our speech actually manages to break her further.

I can't articulate a whole lot about why the Rebuttal Monologue seems like a bad idea to me, but it does. (And I've found that my intuition tends to be pretty good on these things.)
I'm pretty sure Make It About Jaffur would be a much better plan. Please vote that in too?

Non-Canon Omake: The Temporal Sphere

AN: Interesting idea I had of what might happen if we try to visit Otherworld as a Shade.
[ ] Work on binding yourself to the physical world.
[ ] Make sure no one is going to do anything rash until you have a plan ready... or until Dandeer gets a really bad case of food poisoning despite having a mindcontrolled personal chef.
[X] Attempt to contact Ancestors.
Kakara was reasonably sure her current degree of anchoring was enough to avoid her soul simply passing on if she tried to visit her Ancestors, and she was concerned pushing it any farther would make it difficult to move off-world if they could provide more accurate information on the locations of the Androids, Majin Buu, Namek, or Hit. If she had Dragon Balls to wish on, Hit's Time Stop, and Buu as an ally, she might well be able to bumrush Dandeer, since a magical entity such as Buu seemed like he'd be... difficult to mind control.
As she attempted to reach out to Otherworld, she neglected to take into account her current state, which was closer to that of a ghost than a living being, and in her efforts to make the journey, she punched straight past the afterlife, to a space unlike anything she'd ever seen.
The landscape around her shifted from moment to moment. At one instant, it was scraps of paper floating in a golden nothingness. At another instant, spheres of various colors, reminiscent of the tales of the Dragon Balls during the Tournament of Power, floated, and while she had little to give her a sense of scale, she felt as though they were immense. The last stage of the cycle, relative to when she'd arrived, was that of gates, set on floating islands less than 10 meters in diameter. In every iteration, her vision, capable of seeing impossibly fine details even at her current maximum powerlevel, failed her before the objects ended in every direction.
"What... is all this? Either the stories left out a lot about Otherworld" she paused in a moment's thought. "...which could be since they don't seem to have exactly gone out exploring, or else this is definitely somewhere new." First order of business was to find her way back. She was standing on solid ground, and, getting a hunch, turned around. Sure enough, a door, er, page was next to her. The page, er, sphere had familiar energy signatures, but she'd need something a little more distinct to latch onto if she wanted to explore this place, because she could swear that she could sense the exact same signatures, over and over, in all directions.
"I... suppose I should just go back and try again. I'm not sure I could find my way back to this... I'm not sure what this is, because there must be hundreds of these things, and Zeno'o would have noticed if there were more than a hundred universes." Kakara mused. Before startling and turning as a signature suddenly appeared behind her in a manner that sort of felt like Instant Transmission, but that wasn't quite right.
"That's because they aren't really separate universes." The person before her appeared to be herself, but with slightly duller hair, stained clothes as one might expect of a stereotypical artist but rarely saw on real ones, a giant notebook and a bandoleer of... colored pencils? She'd assume that's what the pad was for, but why the notepad in the first place? More pressingly, her signature felt.. wrong somehow. Hollow? That was the word she'd use.
"Uh, hi. If they aren't other universes, what are they?" Kakara asked.
"You know how Future Trunks created a brand new timeline when he tried to use timetravel? Well, sometimes that happens with other things, temporal distortions that slip through the cracks when a Time Kai is indisposed, being selected, or dealing with a more major crisis. All of these timelines are minor differences that echoed out. Things that could have been if someone had been a little faster or slower, physically or mentally. If they'd been a little better or worse of a person. If a hit was at just a little more of an angle. The main universe of each of the Temporal Spheres, one linked to each of the 12 Universes, is guarded by the Supreme Kai of Time, to prevent timeline distortion, though they will sometimes look the other way if someone alters the timestream for the better." The person explained. The 'Temporal Sphere' seemed to have stabilized in the paper stage in their presence.
"So, who are you, exactly?" Kakara asked.
"I'm... well, technically I'm an alternate you, but I go by Artist," There was something off about how she'd said that. "since talking to other versions of me makes it hard to address people. I should be getting you back to your timeline, since the Time Kai doesn't like it when I mess with the timelines directly, and to be honest I prefer not to interfere either." Artist explained.
"Hold on, what was that technique you just used. That wasn't Instant Transmission." While Kakara wasn't 100% convinced Artist had told her everything, or even the exact truth (she was surprisingly hard to read for someone so talkative), her sensing abilities were something she trusted implicitly, and that had felt like IT, but wasn't.
"Oh, teleportation is a completely different thing. It's just as fast, and it doesn't need gestures, but it's a lot more draining, and it gets exponentially more draining the further away you are. Goku's 7000 miles jump? I couldn't do that even if I put everything I had into it. Now, 10 feet? That, I can do without any trouble. You really should be getting back inside your timeline. You're really lucky I was the one who found you and not... uh, well, there's less friendly people out here, and they don't take intruders nearly as well as I do. Plus, the Time Kai would yell at me for getting a- er, you killed." Artist insisted.
"Can you visit to teach me that?" she asked, managing to keep most of the desperation out of her voice. If she could use this, then her battlefield mobility would improve immensely. Instant Transmission's main weakness was that it required a very obvious, and in Exile circles, well known gesture to use. This technique didn't, and even if she couldn't jump very far with it, she could have reached the Senzus or Jaffur without any trouble if she had known it. Not to mention anything else Artist might know. Who knows what sort of things she might pick up in alternate timelines?
Artist paused, clearly considering it. When she spoke, something had clearly changed. "Well, maybe, but I'd need you to give me ideas in return. See, I like stories, but I'm not good at making them myself, so I help people who are, but my creativity and imagination have their limits. "
While Kakara was getting creeped out, she felt that she needed to have every advantage she could, and what harm could giving someone ideas for a story do? "Sure, I can do that." she nodded.
Artist smiled a little wider than Kakara usually did, which was odd to see on her own face. "Great! We're gonna be great friends, I can just tell." She dragged Kakara into the piece of paper. "I'll come home with you. We can start the exchange." All was quiet for a moment, before someone else arrived.
"Artist was definitely here." Trunks, the version of himself that was a member of the Time Patrol at least, reported to the Supreme Kai of Time, "But I'm not sure who was with her. Their Powerlevel was under 2 million. Even if they were at the usual 10% of maximum most people hover at most of the time, they'd still only be a little under 19."
"That's... a weird spot for most version of the current era of Saiyans to be at. Above the cap for non-Super Saiyan-unlocked, but barely past it for anyone who unlocked it, and Saiyans hate staying below at least half their cap unless their bodies are quitting on them from old age, because they know what sort of stuff is out there." Chronoa noted.
"Maybe it wasn't a descendant of Goku and the others?" Trunks proposed. "It could have been some Frieza alternate or someone trying to be a galactic emperor."
"Maybe, but you guys and your descendants get into more trouble than half the rest of the universe combined, even if they aren't 'you' strictly speaking." Chronoa replied.
"Well, I'll leave a sensor here, in case one of them comes back." Trunks placed a spherical device, which rippled with divine energy, as Artist had difficulty sensing it, before cloaking itself in an illusion that it was not there.
"Report back to the Time Zone for now. There's a pair of new timelines Artist's created that we need to deal with before they start causing problems." Chronoa ordered. "Apparently, Artist didn't know that alternate timelines of alternate timelines of alternate timelines" Definitely a note of exasperation there. "Are unstable. Which I could tell her if she bothered to check in on her creations afterward."
"We'll find her soon. She can't keep running forever." Trunks reassured, as the portal to the Time Zone opened and he flew through it. The Future Warrior was off investigating elsewhere, quelling alternate versions of the Time Breakers mostly.
NormClown: ...Well, that was a thing. Does anyone else think that this alternate us is secretly evil or something? She was acting like story ideas were some kind of precious commodity. Are we looking at someone who gets a power-up from ideas or something weird like that? I mean, magic works on concepts for Garenhulders, but maybe other people use other things, like creativity itself.
Maybe those 'bad guys' she was warning us about were coming to warn us about her, and what her abilities were. Of course, I could have it backwards and she's actually just trying to amass the power to take them down without messing up the universe too much.
Karasi: The hell? Since when was Xenoverse involved here?
SirMacOrator: I just want to know where Artist came from to be honest.
PoptartProdigy: I'll answer that. Nowhere. She doesn't have a home timeline.
AN: Okay so what's happening here is that Artist doesn't have a soul, and thus can't feel without a special substance that only comes into existence when a new universe or timeline comes into existence. So, she cribs ideas from people, or uses her own, and creates alternate timelines. What if Beerus had killed Frieza after he destroyed Planet Vegeta? What if Bardock had convinced King Vegeta that Frieza was going to destroy their race, and they'd rushed him as Oozaru? Or if Frieza had destroyed Goku's escape pod for a laugh (don't lie, he'd do that) causing Bardock to go SSJ from rage, and killed Frieza before he could change forms. Stuff like that. Since these changes are so extreme, but not 'villains win' changes like the Time Breakers were doing, she's not sure if she should just destroy them, because of that whole divine law thing, or leave them be because destroying universes of people for the crime of existing is not something to be done lightly, especially since in most cases good things result from them. Currently, she's trying to find Artist and interrogate her on what her goal is here, since she's not destroying things for the sake of it, and could be said to be doing the opposite of that, but she is being irresponsible. Artist hasn't exactly been forthcoming, and in most cases doesn't come back after creating a timeline, unless to make a branch off of that branch.

Ooh, interesting idea! Of course, non-canon, but fascinating for all that! I'll send the bonus to interacting with other timelines, should that ever become relevant.
As for the earlier omake, I've settled on sending the bonus to dealing with advanced technology.
