Infinite Stratos : Ichika Quest - Fuck Status Quo


"Here, get some tea and relax yourself"

Stubbornly holding back her tears, she muttered.

Charles: "Even though I've betrayed your trust, how can you be so kind?"

"Because you're an idiot... and to be honest, trusting you from the get go is an overstatement" you noted, though without any sign of hostilities, instead, you showed her a great concern "No real spy will leave so much trace of their activity... why are you doing it? Letting yourself caught like that is really not wise"

"Perhaps because once a traitor, always a traitor... even to my family, even to my country..."

"So you decide to ditch everything?"

Charles: "I don't even know what to do anymore..."

You smiled gently at the confused girl in front of you.

"Finish what you started, either accomplish your mission, or abandon it entirely... that's for you to decide... and not me, Charles"

She widened her eyes in response "Why?"

"Because I've abandoned my country as well... for the sake of my own freedom, to cement my own path, unrestricted by major political power and the strength they offer"

Charles: "... you ignored the offer to become a cadet rep?! I thought it's just a silly rumor-"

"And ignore the offer to use a prototype cutting edge machine tailored to my style... working with Kuromachi engineering, #1 I.S. development contractor in Japan. Instead, I work with Iguchi, the quirky bottom liner of Japan's weapon industry"

She muttered again "....Ah, so that's why I heard there's a mild political unrest..."

Charles: "Anyway, my mission, do you want to know everything about it? Don't worry, I won't lie anymore... I'm just... tired of this..."

[ ] If you don't mind
[ ] Sure, I'm listening
 
[x] If you don't mind

At this point a gentle approach is necessary.

Edit: Will there be a speech given to her similar to how Big Boss invited soldiers to his Outer Heaven? That would be really awesome.

After this, we should encourage her to reveal her true gender to the school (or at least our circle of friends).
I personally thought this is unwise, you know well how much politic (albeit the idiot kind) involved in this quest.

But that's for the council to decide

Technially, shouldn't that be for her to decide? You did just make her say she's sick of it all.

Wonder if we could ask Chifuyu a way to twist a country's arm...

Well, unlike Ichika, she don't have this little privilege of male I.S. pilot.

Ichika can get away with the shit he pulled because literal double standard + Chifuyu's initial support.

Again, if we reveal it (to entire school, not the harem circle), I expect the council to have ideas how to deal with the fallout.

Making the consequences of not doing what we want impossible to bear? Like a scandal story about pilot abuses?
Right. Nothing bad actually happened, right? So maybe something around "We can squash the whole thing so long as nothing happen to her. Sure, you get some embarrassment once the news about her get out, but you sure you want the WHOLE truth to be out?"

If we need to delay, we could always let Charl feed Dunois some useful but not crucial information from time to time.
Taken into consideration (later vote)
 
There's a special kind of understanding that can only exist on the battlefield. To our comrade, time spent is worth it.

[x] LISTEN YO
 
So looking at our stats all look to be at 70 or above now.
Ichika Orimura
CQC 80
RFX 81
SHT 70
RSP 78
TAC 75
TWK 70
Not that much difference now, prolly by Sliver Gospel, all our stats should be above 80 or even 90.​
 
Last two OP will be the posted here for the time being (seriously, 4 pages are plenty of space for voting):confused:



The one after that will be posted on the second thread though
 
"If you don't mind" you said honestly and simply, without ulterior motive at all. Indeed, this seems to lessened her burden.


Charles: "Thank you, for willing to listen, Ichika... what do you know about the current situation of I.S. development"

"It's a transition of design philosophy from all-purpose second generation unit to specialized third generation unit"

She lowered her head "Indeed, and that's the bane of Dunois corp..."

That's.... now you began to see the missing pieces....

"It's because Ignition plan isn't it?"

Looking at the changes in her expression, you mentally said "Bingo"

It all begin with the very condition of the European Union itself.

Unlike the three other Superpower that is USA, China, and Russia, EU are much smaller in size and overall weaker. However at the same time, it's clustered nature gave it advantage: they possess larger number of core than their rivals, since each country has their own share of unit.

To cement uniformity and strengthen the bond, a competition is held to choose the next model of mass production unit. This competition is called Ignition Plan, the kick-starting sequence of European generational shift.

Currently, there are three unit registered. Blue Tears from England, Bodewig's personal unit from Germany, and another unit currently being developed in Italy.

However, Dunois corp unable to convince the rest of the member to allow Raphael to compete.

Charles: "Indeed... Raphael came both too early and too late... launched at the same time as conception of third generation unit, in the end it's treated as nothing but stopgap. And with the deadline coming even closer, it's possible that French government will lose trust and kicked us from the position of France's mainline military industry"

"And pray tell, why they even bother to send you as a male? I'm sure it's not the publicity... at least not internationally."


Charles: "It's common knowledge that White Knight is nothing but obsolete unit... and yet... you had magnificently prove that we're wrong."

You nodded "The imperfection of First Generation mech"

Charles: "Indeed, many of the system had yet to be implemented back then. Professor Shinonono never truly reveal anything about I.S., and every single I.S. existing currently, and even the decommissioned ones, are reverse engineered from White Knight's frame."

Charles: "Raphael Revive being the first I.S to advertise flawless air combat maneuver, and combined with modularity, is the reason why it's hauled as third most produced and operated I.S. frame in the world. However, White Knight always have that ability from the start... it's inferiority is nothing but a result of propaganda"


Charles: "Dunois want to know if White Knight has more things to offer... they hoped that, by gaining that secret they can develop another unit, or modify Raphael into unique entity that can stood proudly against it's rival units in the competition"

"Now that it's brought into service again, more chance to gather data huh..."

Charles: "That's about the details on my mission... Ichika, as for what's next... it's really up to you"

[ ] "No. For the time being, let's think the best plan to execute, together"
[ ] "I don't know, it'll better if we can think this thoroughly"
[ ] "We can't recklessly decide so soon, that's dangerous"
 
I can't help but notice the Paragon seems to sound like a flag.

[X] "I don't know, it'll better if we can think this thoroughly"
 
Whatever the result, the final decision is done after fight with Laura.

.... this is only excuse for party recruitment flag.:confused:
