She could be something entirely new? Maybe she mutated in a different way then broly after all im sure the dragon wouldn't want the warrior it made to go berserk and blow the planet up.

If Broly wanted to blow the planet up, he had quite a while to do so when he was in the peak of his berserker rage.

He didn't, and instead focused on beating up any strong-seeming figures nearby. Something tells me, if Perica is a Berserker in the same vein as Broly, she'd act the same.

Tamar.

Tyrant. Leader. Demagogue. Murderer.

A man who rose above what the galaxy saw as his racial weakness to rule a world. A human who stood among the true galactic champions. A power not merely on the planet he ruled, but in his general neighborhood. A charismatic -- near-magnetic, in fact -- leader, who commanded the services of hundreds of champions.

Tamar, the failure. Tamar, the loser. Tamar, the man broken and beaten by the last remnants of Earth, allowed to live only by their mercy. Tamar, who writhed in Lazuli's grip as she spoke her contempt of him for the entire planet to hear. Tamar, who fled his planet seconds ahead of a one-hour deadline with the last remnants of his army.

Tamar.

At long last, years after learning of him, you finally lay eyes on Tamar.

One action to look at who's leading the invasion fleet, because if it isn't Haila this whole exercise is pointless and we need to be looking at other options, e.g. transporting New Namek to the other side of the galaxy.

The above is from the post introducing the winning plan, which doesn't seem to have changed that element over the course of its evolution. @PoptartProdigy I'm pretty sure that Sight action was meant to be aimed at the fleet coming for New Namek, not the one bound for Garenhuld.

At the same time, we now have that information about Tamar, so I'm not sure there's a good way to fix it. We can't just roll it back like with a misplaced Training action or something. Hrm.

Tamar.

At long last, years after learning of him, you finally lay eyes on Tamar.

He is a giant of a man, well over six feet tall and corded by powerful muscle. His hair is dark brown, almost black, and his eyes are green. Every move he makes is backed by incredible strength and a burning vitality. You can see how he has kept the loyalty of so many of his subordinates.

But you are not them, and you do not have your identity and self-esteem bound up in your fealty to this man. Your livelihood is not -- not, irrevocably -- shackled to his success. You have no motive to overlook weaknesses. In fact, insofar as you have any leverage on the situation, your motive is exactly the opposite.

So to you, Tamar looks like a man drowning in his own desperation.

You cannot see bags under Tamar's eyes; you can only see the concealer he's using to cover them up. You can see the slight trembling in his fingers whenever he relaxes the death grip they have on one another. This is a man on the edge of total collapse. He's barely staving it off; you can recognize, after having spent so much time around Jaffur, Jaron, and Dandeer, the burning light of fanaticism when all else is collapsing.

You watch as Tamar smiles reassuringly at one of his subordinates, waving her off as he steps into his quarters. You watch as he immediately slumps, the facade of strength and confidence dropping. You watch as he shambles over to his personal computer, boots it up, and pulls up a picture of you and Jaron, glaring down at the camera.

"We're coming, Murk," growls Tamar. "Soon. We'll be there soon."

You feel your time running out and pull back, trying to get the best look at Tamar's fleet as you can. You're no judge of this sort of thing, but you're at least confident enough to say that it's in poor shape. One vessel's engines actually cut out, briefly, before lighting up once more. You start counting -- one, two, three, four, five, six small ones, four medium ones, four that look like warships without much carrying capacity, and one gigantic sphere with absolutely no weapons-

And the vision ends.

Ah damn it, I never specified in the vote. That sucks.

Still, overall a very nice turn!

EDIT: Maybe we could commit to using an action next turn on Tamar, and swap that action for getting the right Sight action this turn? It was sort of time-sensitive.

Kakara saw him when she first learned of his existence, so is this an assassin? Or Jaron?

No, this is Kakara. Probably. So one of those "vison interrupt; figure out how to shuffle things or people you care about will die", then?

They forgot to specify which invasion fleet, but I'm pretty sure everyone wanted to see which NCE leader we were up against, which is why we didn't say their name.
So, um, can we get a mulligan on this? Or perhaps a "there are two invasion fleets you care about, and the visions are bleeding in to each other in a way you have to sort out for yourself"? This was not at all what was intended, but I do like the Tamar vision.

Oh boy. The Enemy didn't wish on the Super Dragon Balls - he was made by them. That makes a lot of sense.

You may want to look over the comments since the update.
 
You know, I thought of another explanation for Frieza's actions. We know from Dazarel that you can consume people to gain their strength. Perhaps Frieza was rounding up the strongest people he could, fattening them up like Hansel and Gretel through training, and then planned on absorbing them somehow. The Enemy assumed he was building up an army and felt non-threatened until something tipped him off, then beelined for Frieza and interrupted him before he could do whatever ritual would let him take their power.

OK, I am really wondering as to Frieza's reasoning there. I'm sure he had a reason. Not necessarily a good one, but I'm sure he had one.

Yeah, Freeza had to have some secret goal. It's just not possible that THIS is all there is about it.

Hm.

Could be False Super Saiyan.

Could be the Legendary Super Saiyan thing, maybe?

She's likely a ki mutant, maaaaybe she might even have the potential to achieve the legendary ssj form.

This is not the False Super Saiyan though. That's both pretty easy to notice(golden aura, white eyes) and also very unstable. If it was that, she'd lose all this power in just a few minutes, and then she wouldn't be able to use it again.

Also I'm not sure if it was said here, but in the rp it was explained that False Super Saiyan is a form that one can(temporarily) achieve when you have the NEED, but not the power necessary to unlock the true ssj (which should be in the low millions, as goku was more or less at 3 millions when he unlocked the ssj form). I don't remember how strong it was exactly

@PoptartProdigy There's one thing i'd like to have clarified. Did the unlocking only boost our mind powers, or did it actually give us a new gift/ability for creating and manipulating electricity?

I think that's specifically a "Dazarel" ability, or at the very least a "dragon" ability.

There's always a chance Frieza might have tried to replicate it through magic though. Or Maybe he was trying to somehow do something like the Genkidama, using their strenght to boost himself. Or he might have hoped to find something like Broly, someone who could actually surpass him but that would still be loyal to him.




Ok, training went mostly well with a side of WTF.

We have our "exceptional" in combat and style.

Perika is stronger, and while we don't undestand HOW it's possible she should at least be able to continue her training while we're in space.

we got out potential unlocked, and it kinda seem like we got an "electricity gift" too.

We made some progress on perfect multiform and ki refinement, and discovered that no, genkidama won't allow us to cheat that way.
 
Pathos said:
My best guess?

Frieza knew about the Exile's existence though maybe not their location.

And now he's made a Galaxy that is both ripe for a new Saiyan race to challenge while growing ever stronger and also this kind of brutal broken mess of a galaxy also means that it'll take some time for stories of Saiyans to really propagate enough for anyone to hear and report on.

It's horrific and evil, but also a reasonable backup plan should he fail to kill the Enemy while hitting more than a few birds with one stone. Freezes gets to carve his name into the Galaxy's history, aid in the defeat of the enemy, and get revenge in everyone through the deadman's switch of his Empire.

I REALLY like this guess! It's exactly the kind of "nice" I can imagine Frieza being, maybe out of respect for Goku and Vegeta.

I really want to try that "old enemies" action now, If that's Frieza i want to talk with him and ASK!

He literally offered to teach us, though - I have a half-baked omake idea where we offer to trade him Genki Dama for his vampirism trick. I'm just not certain where he'd go with it.
Click to expand...

wait, he offered to teach us how to drain people of ki? I didn't remember that!.

I don't think Kakara would want it though. I mean, Doesn't Dazarel LITERALLY have to EAT the people from which he gets the ki?
 
On one hand, we have no clue what to do with Perika. On the other, if it turns out she has no caps and can't turn super saiyan then that is another hero unit loyal to us that does not break the super saiyan taboo, which would put our clan in an even better position than clan Vegeta! Muahahahaha!

I also suspect that Perika is not a mutant but a mystic saiyan like Gohan: able to use all her non-godly ki without transforming and thus having better stamina. It is just that since she is from the begining, she has to train it and doesn't get boosts like a super saiyan.
 
You know, if we used that wish to get a Hyperbolic Time Chamber, we could loan it to the Namekians in exchange for favorable trade/training agreements and whatnot with Garenhuld.

I'm sorry, but I can't help but squeal in delight at the idea that we could somehow get access to a Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

I am however certain that we wouldn't really want it right now, since there is the hard limit of 48 hours of real-time ever spent in the chamber and you can only enter it twice in a single lifetime.

So it'd be useful once we actually have people to train with it in and a body to take advantage of all that time leaving the Time Chamber's potential benefits stymied significantly.

that limit was there in the cell saga, but I think it was kind of removed (or forgotten) by Super.

I mean, both Goku and Vegeta went back in there AT LEAST another time during Super if I remember right.

I don't think the "only 48 hours" is an HARD limit, more like one for THAT specific chamber.

I mean, same. We could get so much done in there.
 
Okay. On the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, here's the skinny according to the wiki.

1st Hyperbolic Time Chamber
  • Can only be used 2 days/years at time
  • Can only be used twice in a lifetime
  • Has a destructible door/entrance
2nd Hyperbolic Time Chamber (as reconstructed by Dende)
  • Can be used for 3 days/years at a time
  • Indestructible door
  • No usage limit
Galactic Patrol's Hyperbolic Time Chamber
  • Time dilation is only 3 days inside to 1 day outside
