Magical Girl Escalation Taylor (Worm/Nanoha)

Reader mode
[]Bone of the Father, part 2 – Maybe it's just because it's one you grew up hearing about, but the idea of an Empire offshoot running around Philly fills you with dread. Plus the fact that the real Empire was turned into Ziz-bombs. Check their territory for any known Empire capes calling the shots.
[]Daddy's Little Girl – It's been a while since you last checked on your dad. It hurts to see him and know that he doesn't and probably never will recognize you, but you should probably stomach the hurt and go to his nursing home.
[]Participate in Final Frontier as a social activity instead of a main activity.
[]Make yourself available to help Operation Pentagram. Go after the wolfheads.

Its a pity we don't have the boost serums atm, because tailoring one specifically for neural regeneration would allow us to do something concrete with Daddys girl

First of all I don't think we're ready for Burn the Sinners. Our team is barely getting their devices and have had no training what so ever. So that one is not getting my vote this turn.
Leaving Bone of the Father, Daddy's Little Girl as the activities with Final Frontier as the Social. Mostly cause it's in yellow there instead of the activities. As for the extra either Operation Pentagram, patrol (might get into a fight and get a spell point), or train with the girls.

Burn the Sinners shouldnt have much danger for the girls. The Fallen are at 50% strength. The sooner we hit them the weaker they will be as the Fallen are sure to be going on a recruitment drive to rebuild their numbers. And sooner we hit them the less innocent Mastered people Taylor is going to have to kill.

As we have information that the Mastered people are basically a lost cause it's basically weapons free on lethal maximum firepower. That means we explode their buildings from miles away with Solar Wrath and finish off whoever's survived with more Solar Wrath. The rest of the girls act as a reaction force to catch any leakers. It's not going to be a straight up fight. Itll be a extermination at range.

That is once we have it confirmed by Cassiel anyways.

According to Cassiel, those twisted by Ziz can be de-programmed by keeping them on LSD for a week or two.
Who knows if that would work on other types.

Ziz bombs are a very different kind of Mastering than the Fallen.

What Ziz did was create triggers that will be activated by stimuli. LSD use muddles with the trigger and gums up the works so they don't go off.

The Fallen are the more classic mind control and brainwashing.

More info before bringing down the wrath of god never hurts so going diving in Cauldron's base is a very good option and bridge building with the Triumverate isnt a bad thing either. so Final Frontier as Social is one though I would want Cassiel tagging along for the ride for help with Master sitch too, though that would involve tipping our hand too much hm....

And while out there why not poke around in another world like that bug world thingy that Taylor and Vista blew up a cult in, and have Alex and Legend tag along too.

Burn the Sinners is another of course no question ask, well one question, how long does it take to burn a compound all the way to the mantle? The last main activity is a toss up for me. Danny is a skip for me honestly, but if the others want to heal up I digress. Hm...hey @Silently Watches can social AND main Final Frontier? Double dip as it were.

I recognize and agree, but a traitorous part of me thinks the hilarity of supremely awkward small talk between the Triumverate and Cassiel would be worth it.
 
On the Burn The Sinners part 2: remember folks that the branch we are going after first is the Simurgh cultists. They are feared for their Masters. Masters which are positively useless against us.

There may be a few from the other branches that are on loan to them. But by and large it'll be a execution. And the tougher enemies can be speed blitzed by Samantha and Taylor. And a number of their stronger capes are already body parts in the morgue courtesy of 'Cinder'.

Ash (Laura) Soot (Missy) Cinder and Spark (Kayliegh) hit the fallen, then make their debut as team arcana with the vote names and not-standstill?

It's not like the Fallen are somehow going to replenish all their losses in 2 weeks.
My interest is when we do take out the Fallen everything is in our corner.
Information? Got.
Team? Ready.
PR? Standstill/Whatever her new name will be, as our liaison, handing out a little bit of representation to the Protectorate so hopefully Chevi will chill the fuck out.

My only argument here is that honestly it sound like it would make for a boring fight scene.
 
I'm thinking we can do final frontier, save burn the sinners for next time. Unless we can do both and get the information in time to still act within the same week? I feel like that's a bit of a time crunch though...

And that's a fair argument. But its going to take a while for the rest of the team to perform at the level of Calamity Witch. And Missy and Laura both have cape experience and Taylor will be doing most of the work in the first place. Standstill will be our liaison with or without the template.

That's true. But the real meat of the 'Burn the Sinners' I expect won't be the fight scene. It'll be the mental toll that it will have on Taylor and co and the character growth from the event. The repercussions from destroying a entire branch of the Fallen. And the debut of the Arcana as a true official team on the radar of everyone in North America. Because destroying the Fallen is a very, very, big notice to the rest of the villain scene in the area.

Technically no, but you CAN take Final Frontier and use your social slot to explore another world. The thing with Final Frontier is that I have some events already planned to make it easier for you guys to say "Sure, let's go somewhere!" and not have to worry about what to do in that world.

Tbh? I kinda just want Cassiel to call Eidolon "Dad" and eagerly watch the drama/fireworks/awkwardness from the safety of the 4th wall.

Eidolon won't be coming. There's a reason Triumvirate is scratched out and replaced with Dynamic Duo.

As funny as those names are, no, it'll be the girls with their current names.

I'm not putting that up for a vote because LOOK AT THE MESS WE JUST DEALT WITH, so her mage name will be Thirteenth Hour.

If/When you do Burn part 2, I'll put it up to a vote on whether to just burn the whole place down with lethal Solar Wrath or go more hand to hand. Mostly because proof that you killed the villains you're claiming the bounties on is hard when there's naught left but ashes.

Burn part 2 will almost certainly be the very last event of whatever week you do it in. "Almost" because if the vote was, say, to do Burn then spend a social relaxing and clearing your mind with the team afterwards, it kind of can't be the last thing.
 
For Main Activities, I think stay local and go with Daddy's Little Girl and Bone of the Father, part 2. Both of them Taylor can handle by herself (probably) and save dealing with the Fallen for when the entire team is equipped and all possible intelligence sources have been tapped.
I'd definitely pick Final Frontier for one of the Social activities. Maybe bring along Dragon and Cassiel, but exposing Cassiel to the heroes is a bit dicey. Since Legend and Alexandria will likely be coming with, maybe also bring along Standstill and Cat Sith to discuss her future options, which leads to my next social choice.
Build the Infinite Enhancement Template to give to Standstill. Let's give this template another shot at a proper installation. Her powers were already geared around support, so the transition shouldn't be too jarring, and she already has Cat Sith to help cover for her until she masters her new abilities.

Regarding Standstill, I'd prefer to build up the Boost Devices necessary for the sacrifice before giving her a Template. If we do continue socialing Paul with the aim of giving him a Linker Core, having Tim provide Device fuel for Standstill's Template would let us give Paul a Template if he winds up without anything interesting.

As for the rest of the vote, I'm going to sleep on it before I make any decisions.

We can both social Paul and give him boost serums with preset mutation to prepare him for LCM. We already have 2 social with him, so we should be able to have minimal chance of mutations by giving him strike boost mutation serum and another boost serum after which we can social a couple more times then LCM him.
 
I can't remember exact numbers, but she wasn't with the Adepts for very long, and Legend did his best to suppress the info because he hoped she would return, so outside of the New York Protectorate (and the higher-ups) I'm sure that very few people are aware of her "Thirteenth Hour" moniker. Add in the almost-shapeshifting disguise of a Barrier Jacket, her new abilities, and a new location, and the general public shouldn't make any connections.
 
I think after that conversation it is kind of expected of us to do Final Frontier and Template Standstill. Besides having her in her new position will be useful for our local operations. And Missy's situation.
 
If we are voting yet then I am voteing for [X] Final Frontier and [X] Bone of Father Part 2 as the mains and [X] building the Devices to Template Standstill with Infinite Enhancement and [X] go on Patrol with Missy, Laura, and Kayleigh as sort of a trial run and Teamwork training rolled into one.

By the way, regarding the Guardian Beast's name. For whatever reason @FictionPack your suggestion of Olivia just clicked, so that's what I'll be using. Like Samantha, she won't have a "cape name".

Glad I could help!:)
Maybe It's because naming a healing dove after an olive branch is fittingly cute?

Funnily enough, I think that in a superpower world even if they use their actual name people would still give them a 'cape name', even as an unoffical epithet. I'm sure there are people arguing over Samantha's cape name even though she doesn't use one.:p

Well actually.... I was planning to wipe out the Fallen sometime this week.

Yes, all of them. Do you wanna come?

.....FFS seriously Alexandria? At this stage of things you're still playing coverup and lying to our face on something like this? Shame you won't ever be seeing a drop of Mutagen vials...

Theres a bare thread of room to think she intended "I can't say for sure I was shown everything that Doctor Mother and Contessa planned or knew, soooo I'm totally not lying despite my photographic memory and central role and established dossiers on all cauldron vials ever sold."

... Miss wants to study Computer Science actually factually said that to his face... and didn't see anything odd. She must've deleted from her memory the horrors of her family dial-up (or really, even file transfer between folders on Windows >_>).

o_O So this is an unpaid "position". Where she is still being treated as a contracted soldier Employee, with her whereabouts and activities controlled and the ability to ship her off somehwere on his whim. Unpaid. o_O

And you had Taylor agree to this arrangement automatically, not vote on whether we wanted to say screw it and poach Standstill for realzies?

Is standstill on special shady parole like Shadow Stalker was, or uhh.... what in hell man. Think between Perfect Storm and Dragon we could impersonate a Lawyer well enough to make headlines?????

Its already a little wobbly-gray that the Protectorate gets so antsy about their No-Compete-Contracts and Cartels, given they're a government organization and aren't super thrilled about permitting Vigilantism. But I'm still a little fuzzy on why we don't just yoink her anyways with the raw deal shes getting.

And in this scenario, at /best/ I'd vote for Infinite Enhancement, theres no way I want to gift wrap Extinction Knight for the Duumvirate to keep locked in their toybox. Then again, I'm not yet sold on adopting Paul into the crew just because he showed his face once..... hey, when are we scanning Myrddin anyways? :V :V That'd be quite the steal.
