Fuck. That reminds me. I need to figure out how I'm going to write an omake where she takes from the core concepts of Burning Chains, Matukai, and even Shatterpint to create an original Sith technique. A technique which is basically Shining Finger/Erupting Burning Finger with the serial numbers rubbed off.
But seriously, is there a technique more clearly Sith and yet so un-evil as Shining Finger?:
Actually... hmm. Ciaran might not be hammy enough.

She'd probably go for a Fist of the North Star "you're already dead" line, if she was doing something like that.

I'm concerned if Jedi Master Kenshiro will teach us...
Heh. @Dr. Snark, did you decide to rename PR-1 as 'Priam' based on my omake?
Here's the request I posted back in November:
Speaking of unbelievably time-consuming...
Back in February I set up three 'Index' posts with links to every omake, whether Canon Non-Story, Currently Non-Canon, or just Non-Canon.
Unfortunately, back in early July I started my own quest, which has taken over most of my time and attention. That means those Index posts haven't been updated since page 391 in this thread.
If any of you would like to go back through the thread and write up some of the omakes between then and now, it'd be much easier for me to update the Index. Division of labor would make this much more manageable -- one person might scan a few pages, write up any omakes, and leave the rest for others to pick up later.
A few things: @Dr. Snark threadmarks any 'Canon Non-Story' and 'Currently Non-Canon' omakes, and 'nests' them under their respective Index posts. That should be an easy way to find those omakes.
For 'Non-Canon'... no threadmarks makes it difficult. However, whenever I post an 'omake count', I always link to a) the last omake count post and b) every omake posted since that last one, added under a {spoiler} tag. Unless you want to trawl through the thread, clicking through those omake count posts should be a handy way to hunt down the Non-Canon omakes. Here is the last 'omake count' post.
As far as formatting, each write-up should include:

I'm the one who set up those three omake 'Indexes', though it was @Jakobstj who made sure it was updated last November. I'm still working on my own quest, so have less time to manage the Indexes, but if anyone wants to help, I'd certainly appreciate it.

Question, shouldn't Asaji's Rival train kick in and give her the same martial as Ciaran?
It's already doing that.

Great now picturing 2B doing the extraction op.
Clearly if we give Cheriss a chance to make a new chassis and we can choose its look....
@Dr. Snark, I just noticed that, despite the post containing it being updated yesterday, our list of bonuses is missing the Diplomacy bonus we got this turn.
Generally the front page list of default bonuses + organization assets + end-of-turn balance sheet gets updated all at once, after all the results are in.
Agreed. The difficulty this turn was twofold:
a) We had a lot of actions with 'only' 90% chance of success, so I felt we should use Fry for hero support to ensure we successfully recruited Mungo Baobab.
b) The odds for 'That Boy Needs Some Therapy' (Talesan Fry's hero action) were remarkably poor.
40% (base odds) + 5 (default) + 20 (omakes) + 11 (Talesan's Diplomacy stat) = 76% chance of success
That's so low, that it would have taken one of our other heroes away from the action, in order to ensure that this one succeeds. We would have needed Silas or PR-1, which means either we'd run the risk of failing the Quinlan Vos action, or we wouldn't have been able to upgrade PR-1 with the android frame.
We're adding at least two heroes (Mungo Baobab and Galen Erso) this turn, which should hopefully free up enough space to give Talesan Fry the attention he so obviously needs. Plus, while 'recruit Mungo Baobab' was a Stewardship action, I'm hoping that the interaction with him (and the Super-Critical Success we rolled) will give Taly a bonus to his Diplomacy stat.

Nothing against you, I can totally see where you're coming from, but let me just say how ridiculous it is that 76%, a 3/4th chance, is considered too low to chance.

yeah....thats not low at all realy, infact thats pretty good all things considered.

Well, I got two or three thoughts on that which might be worth considering:
The Odds said:
1) The stakes are really high. We're talking, fate of the galaxy high. Losing means a lot of suck for a lot of people.
2) We're playing against an enemy with a lot of power both personal and political / organizational, so we need every advantage we can get.
3) Resource economy: We spent a ship-based Stewardship action to gain a default bonus to Diplomacy. Spending an action to gain a hero-who-can-apply-his-bonuses (presumably) is a pretty great value for the action and will enable us to have the heroes available to get poor Fry his closure.

Piebald is going to find a way to cause explosions by punching things (like walls covering fuel-lines) isn't he? Well it will be awesome and the video will circulate through the other operatives by the end of the week.
Last I heard, the Abyss Watchers who are aware we're up against a Sith but are being kept out of the loop as to who that Sith is call him Sid Vicious.
The first time Dooku hears Ciaran refer to, "The Sid Vicious Conspiracy" he elegantly arches an eyebrow and waits until he's completely alone in his chambers before allowing himself a dignified chuckle.

From my canonized Foundry Raid omake "One Giant Leap Forward":
It is, to my knowledge, what someone who was at that time a "nobody" attached to Grievous would understand about the goals of the organization.
Information compartmentalization is a valuable thing, so that if you lose an individual you don't necessarily lose all the secret family recipes (oh gosh I suddenly want to know just how many 'secret family recipes' Silas has access to lol).
