Ok. I don't think there is really a need to coordinate telepatically with Berra regarding the crowd, he is not an idiot, he knows we are not an idiot and and he taught us politics. He probably would figure out what we are doing as soon as we do. Though if we had to warn him about anything, it would be to check on Tabe's mom since she clearly realized in how much shit her son just got himself in.

That said, I wouldn't dismiss this being something like Gohan's thing since both the aura and eyes matches. It might be something like unleashed his hidden potential with him being as strong as a newly turned super saiyan because he is at the cap and his hidden potential right now is the super saiyan transformation. It could very well be possible that, if he ever transforms, the changes on his body would make unlocking his potential raise his power level higher... Actually, no. This can't be the mystic transformation because we still read him at 15 millon even if his strength and speed are at 150 millon.

That said, it could very well be something else or work another way, in which case it is possible that he is only at ss1 because it is fairly recent or because he is young and he could grow stronger in the future, which is bad. Even worse if this is something that others can learn and apply when super saiyan as that would make super saiyan rebelions a lot more dangerous. Heck, this is already more dangerous in the sense that it is hard to detect since it reads at a lower power level, which means people could train in it without special wards to hide they are doing so! Hopefully it requires a lot of skill and that combined with keeping the method secret will be enough to keep a lid on this.

That said, we have to worry about how to deal with this. One way would be to arrest and execute him under the excuse of him breaking the super saiyan ban but that would be premature and a way to ostracize house Stauber. A riskier but perhaps more rewarding move would be to ensure loyalty. We would need to bind Tabe closer to us (either by romantic relationship or friendship, with the former shooting up with the chance of our family getting this secret on top of genki dama thanks to our training and nabbing Jaffur's trick thanks to him and Mato) so that we have another hero unit besides Maya and Mato once he figures out Jaffur's trick. We can probably help with this by making clear how dangerous what he did was (or better yet, having Berra make it clear) and have Kakara advocate for mercy while making clear that Tabe can't teach this trick to others. That would make us look merciful and get us closer to Tabe and the current Stauber head since we would be advocating to pardon her son's life. That has the problem that we don't know anything about the head though so it would be a balancing act to make sure they are loyal to US above everyone else.

On a bright note, this means we already have a core of people our age to focus on for this age of legends. I mean, we have Kakara and Jaffur who will hopefully get along better once he is released (we still don't know where we stand with him after the dragon debacle). This is a worrying thing because one of our goals should be fixing the sundering and because Jaffur's warrior status would not only make it incredibly troublesome on a martial level if there is a fallout afterwards but it also will make him loved by Vegetans and saiyans in general. Right now we should focus on shoring our relation with him while he is isolated because while Kakara can "wrap him and Jaron around her finger" with their relative comunnication skills, once he is out there will be Yammar and the Senzus to council him, which means that getting his trust at this point would help a lot.

On the other hand, we have the humans Maya and Jaron. These are important pieces because of their potential, Maya as a ki mutant will grow stronger than most saiyans while Jaron has the potential to become as strong as Jaffur. They will presumably go one to Vegeta and one to Goku and it will be important to see if Jaron gets his own body or not but for now it is best to keep getting them more loyal to us, Maya as an important enforcer and Jaron most than anything because he is extremely close to Jaffur and so will help influence his opinions if he is a strong ally of ours. Something similar could be said about Betarel though that also would get house Senzu further on our side which would help a lot with the increase in Vegetan political weight they will get as the most loyal house and likely future guardians of Jaffur and Jaron.

Then of course we have Mato and Tabe, who are two Gokuns working on individual ways to make a saiyan surpass their limits. We already covered the importance of Tabe but we should shore up our relationship with Mato because a) having someone work on Jaffur's trick on an independent track could help develope future insights for our family b) it gives us another above average warrior and c) because while Kakara is the ki prodigy of the family, iirc it was mentioned ooc by Poptart somewhere that in terms of pure smarts, Mato is actually smarter than Kakara, which means we could get him as a scientific/steward hero unit, which would be important to catapulte Garenhuld to the space age and make it a galactic power, plus it would help our administration and it is always important to get the cadet branches closer to the throne to actually like the rulers.

Finally, we get Fenn/Dylon and Celeran/the Peats to support us to get even further support from the faith. In this, Jaffur would also benefit but as a master diplomat and chief demigod, we would benefit more as long as Jaffur doens't pull a legendary advancement for our species out of his ass (so likely we will be wrestling back and fort on who they like more). We do have an advantage on this ground and we should play it for all it is worth.

Completely different subject, but maybe we should train GO using the Saiyan masque? It reduces our PL to 10% so it would not endanger the wards.

I don't see this as at all necessary. Nor do I see us jumping to execution. I don't want to publicly arrest him but he has to answer questions about this when we get him in private. His mother obviously realises what position he's in and as a loyal house I can't see them not giving us the details of this technique because we need them to evaluate whether what he did is an actual crime.

Even a loyal House can turn disloyal in a generation, as the situation with the Talt rebellion showed: Bricca Talt died helping house Vegeta against rebelious lords which caused her son to lead the House to a Super Saiyan rebellion that is still screwing us over. Even if his mother and him are loyal now, there is no telling about anyone they might teach the technique to so we want to convince them that we are the best thing since Senzu beans so that they agree not to teach the technique or so that, if the technique is passed on to Tabe's future heir, they remain tied to us. After all, we don't know what the fallout of us defying our father to unseal Jaffur will be politically yet. Besides, it is always a good idea to get the personal loyalty of remarkable individuals.

As for jumping to execution: One of the options is to declare him a traitor under the suspicion of him breaking the PL description that so far in our history has only been broken by turning super saiyan, thus accusing him of breaking the super saiyan ban. THAT has a variable punishment depending of circumstances from an oath not to do it again if accidental to execution if done on purpose.

I figure arresting him is more a choice of whether we want this to be public or private rather than deciding how serious the accusation is. Either way I am expecting to get access to the technique and so aren't too worried about what may be done with it. Imagine how awesome it'd be to have all saiyans capable of massively increasing their abilityt without affecting their powerlevels and thererfore drawing attention. Especially if it can stack with Super Saiyan etc.

The possibility has been floated, yes - though we've been doing training in our Saiyan Masque in an attempt to level it up, so it might not be viable for much longer.

Maybe we should ask if we can get some sorcerers to actively reinforce the wards while we go GO for a session? That would let us confirm how things work at maximum PL.
 
I mean, I understand the whole Tabe may have caused political problems for us but we aren't really in a normal situation right now. This is a technique that let's a base level saiyin hit as hard as a new super saiyin, which in our hands is not only much more powerful but gives us a method of bypassing power level restrictions when fighting against the threats arrayed against us.

We already have something similar in Jaffur Style, and potentially superior. But studying multiple manifestations of similar techniques can only be useful later.

@PoptartProdigy Is it possible to uh, consciously "reduce" one's skill in a masque?
 
Should we consider telling the kid via telepathy he needs to look more tired than he is, because he might just have crashed into a political minefield?
Would only make it worse. He currently looks bewildered and if we distract and get him out of sight nobody would have paid too much attention to just how tired he was.
He has no political training. Getting him to improvise is going be digging deeper.

Hmmn, obscuring aura at first, black eyes, hits like a newborn Supersaiyan, speed but no real endurance boost, doesn't wreck you as hard as Kaioken, cut out sharply...

I think he made a shell.

I think he took a big chunk of his Ki, pushed it out of himself, and them compressed it all around him. Then piloted it like powerarmor.

Still 15,000 PL but condensed in such a way that he was, effectively, fighting like he was wearing a skintight suit made out of supersaiyan-tier power.
Sounds feasible, but wouldn't that require an ungodly amount of control? And also be fragile as hell vs any focused piercing attacks since if it breaches the shell you're basically defenseless

Is there any reason that we shouldn't let Berra know our plan?
Nothing's been mentioned as an actual point against doing so, so I suspect it's just people weighting against taking "pointless" actions again, which I will never understand.

Which approach should we take for the interrogation? Honesty? . He just performed with the level of power of a newly turned super saiyan in front if all our race and so now we have to convince our father, grandmother and Elder Yammar Vegeta, the Butcher of Talt that he didn't break the super saiyan ban?

It's just a technique. He didn't break the super saiyin ban. It's just that the fact he can match a super saiyin makes it a possible threat to the Lords when used by rebels, and it's reveal in public puts us in an difficult political position.

It also makes people twitchy, because they may think we might take this as a sign of rebellion and heads might roll. It's not something immediately explosive, but it turns the proceedings into a powderkeg which we need to defuse.

EDIT: The current vote seems to be the best way forward to be honest. We take him out of sight and dad's reveal of the dragon will put him in the back of their mind.

@PoptartProdigy our Exceptional ki manipulation text says we raise skills below "Talented" faster in the chat sheet. Shouldn't it be exceptional?
 
On a related note, we should consider prioritising Team fighting next year, as that would put our overall combat skill at "Exceptional" - and it means that the overskills could feasibly have an Elite skill open up.
 
I'd like to think that once away from the public, we'll treat this with as much seriousness and gravity as it deserves. Especially with mind control hijinks going on, this is an issue of Saiyan security, even if he hasn't technically broken the law. I'd want to have him hand over the technique, sweat for a bit and either accept us regulating the passing of the technique or allowing free access to our warriors/the public in general so his house can't amass a group of rival power.

Especially with us having lost access to our two Vegetian Super Saiyans.
 
I am more worried about what to tell to the public. Some are bound to realize he fought at too high a level and that it was not kaioken. If left unchecked, some might suspect he went super saiyan at some point and others might want to recreate the technique for themselves when they realize what it means. A willpower push might explain it to some of the most gullible but his PL didn't actually go up which is a proof against it.

By the way; since I am fairly sure this thing with the PL is Tabe not thinking before he acts again I propose to add a Damn it, Tabe! tag when it happens the third time.
