Fate/Novus Apocrypha - The Alternate Universe of an Alternate Universe you didn't ask for [Reboot]!

@SSW, I love it!

@Lord Indra, @SkyHresvelg, will you two accept it as well?

Fate/Novus Apocrypha - The Alternate Universe of an Alternate Universe you didn't ask for [Reboot]!

I have a question is this a PVP, or a PVE RP? I tend to favor PVE fate rp's because of lack of player in fighting regarding 'who wins' which is why I ask before stating interest.

@vancexentan

Mix of both, but mostly PvP especially at the later parts of the game. Sorry if that's not your preference.

Revelation (C) - As someone who has been given a Revelation from God, especially one which led him to victory, Constantine has an instinct for whichever action would lead him and those under him to an optimal outcome. This instinct has no rational explanation, as it comes at the most unlikely of times, but rejecting the whispers and messages from it can only lead to a damning failure.

Saint (B) - As a Ruler blessed by God who changed the course of history, and is commemorated as a Saint by the largest denomination of Christians, Constantine the Great was seen as a paragon of virtue by many Medieval scholars, and it shows in his Servant form. Constantine gets a rank up to Charisma, raising it to A.

True Name Discernment (European) (B) - Constantine can discern the True Name, Skills and Parameters of a Servant he directly encounters, but this skill is more effective on Servants who are rooted in Christian and Hellenic Pagan legend, meaning that veiling skills and phantasms made by those folk are less effective than those used by Servants rooted in Far Eastern and Mesoamerican Lore (an exception is Shirou Amakusa Tokimune because he is Christian).

Baptism Rite - Constantine generates a set of blessed javelins, which launch themselves against an opponent. These javelins, when piercing an opponent, fix them in place as Constantine says a prayer to God for the purification of their soul and the destruction of their body. This prayer, when finished, causes the enemy to erupt in white flames which consume them entirely, leaving only ashes in their wake.

Military Tactics (B) - Constantine is adept at planning the logistics, strategy, and actual tactics of a large number of people, although one should note that his knowledge might be obsolete in many places thanks to developments past his death. Not just that, but this is situational and is best-partnered with his Anti-Army Noble Phantasm, which in turn is also situational.

Charisma (B) - One does not gain the loyalty of the Legions, reunite the Empire, legalize Christianity, declare infanticide a capital crime, and found a new Capital of the Unified Roman Empire without having both charm and talent. One also forgets that historically, Constantine was a tactful convert who kept using Pagan symbols throughout his reign and was only baptized in his deathbed. Either way, Constantine can gain the affection of, and fire up the fighting zeal, of entire armies and populations.

Title: The Host at Milvian Bridge.
Rank: B
NP Type: Anti-Army Noble Phantasm
Range: 60
Maximum Number of Targets: 25,000 individuals.
Description: An army marched with Constantine to the Milvian Bridge, an army painted the symbol of the Chi-Rho on their shields, and an army won a great victory under the symbol. As a Noble Phantasm, Constantine can summon his loyal troops to his side once more as phantasmal soldiers, the legions of Heaven itself. Though his armies are individually weaker than Iksander’s Ionoi Heitairoi, they can manifest in the normal world in greater numbers due to the strength of their faith and the faith of the hundreds of millions who follow the Church in the present-day - However, even this is temporary, four to eight hours at the most.

Title: The Blessed Nails
Rank: A-
NP Type: Anti-Unit (Self) Noble Phantasm
Range: 1 - 10
Maximum Number of Targets: 1
Description: Constantine the Great’s mother, Helena, gave him two nails from Christ’s crucifixion order to grant him God’s protection. As long as the two nails are together, they grant Constantine protection from ranged attacks, with arrows, bullets, ranged Magecraft and Noble Phantasms avoiding his body. However, Constantine does not gain the effects of this protection if the projectile were to explode on impact, if the attack was performed in a manner where range would be considered a non-factor, or if it was performed by a weapon that has simply long reach, such as a spear (Copied with permission from another Fate RPer’s CS).

If the nails are separated through theft or gift, the protection is split among the holders of said nails, lowering its strength by one rank.

Title: The Church of the Holy Apostles
Rank: A
NP Type: Barrier
Range: 30
Maximum Number of Targets: 300
Description: One of the many Churches Constantine built, and the one he wished to be buried in, the Church of the Holy Apostles was the resting place of the relics of St. Andrew, St. Luke, and St. Timothy, and also many Eastern Roman/Byzantine Emperors, including Justinian and Heraclius. Lasting for a millennium or so, it was eventually abandoned by the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate some years into the Ottoman conquest and eventually demolished. As a Noble Phantasm, the Church manifests once more in its full glory, the relics, and Emperors buried inside its crypt acting as an anchor for the righteous dead and a beacon for those who still live.

In essence, the Church heals those whom Constantine deems righteous, including those whom he grudgingly concedes to have lived an honorable life despite their ignorance of the True Faith, restoring their health as long as they are within sight of the soft light given by the Church. Not merely that, but the Church feeds energy to The Host at Milvian Bridge and Christian Servants whose Masters have been killed, allowing them to stay in this world longer as long as they are within the Church’s grounds or within sight of them.

Hider

Magic Resistance (B): Negates E, D and C ranked spells. It is difficult for them to be affected even by Greater Thaumaturgy.

Riding (B): Capable of handling modern vehicles with the skill of the best racers or pilots. Gains intuitive understanding of the mount they ride, as if a bond between them exists. Monstrous mounts appear at this Rank.

ᴘᴇʀꜱᴏɴᴀʟ ꜱᴋɪʟʟꜱ

Hider

Bravery (B): The ability to negate mental interference such as pressure, confusion and fascination. It also has the bonus effect of increasing melee damage. Not usable under the effects of Mad Enhancement.

[Effect:] As the rank increases, the ability to resist mental interference as well as increase melee damage increases.

Imperial Privilege (A): An ability that, due to the insistence of the owner, Skills that are essentially impossible to possess can be obtained for a short period of time. In cases when the Rank is А or above, even the "burden to the body" can be acquired (such as Divinity).

[Effect:] Allows for the usage of additional skills, such as Mana Burst (Lightning, A), Chinese Martial Arts (A, apparently, he managed to make it to China in his legend), and also activating his Noble Phantasm, Florent, without having to fulfill the conditions for its use.

Incitement (B): A Skill that functions as the acquisition of the words and gestures to lead the citizens and the masses. Especially, when employed against an individual, it functions as a sort of mental attack. It is the skill of a tyrant king to gather than army, rather than a kind king to gather a Round table. One is a power over others by crushing their own, the other is to gather in peace and raise the hopes and dreams of others. Nothing is more Lucius than this skill. To dominate, and crush.

[Effect:] With this skill, Lucius has the ability that with just a few short words he is able to take people into a heated emotional state. This could be anything from sending everyone nearby into an utter frenzy, to making everyone pitifully sad. There is no real scope he is limited to, only limit is the amount of emotions he can instill in people. Granted that is still a very broad, as with it he can do things such as making someone believe that they're to be betrayed by their greatest friend, instill deep doubt about some of the their greatest beliefs, or make them even consider their entire life choices, each mental attack with in a simple sentence or two. Alternatively, he could also do something such as make his men have complete trust in him and yet also raise their morale of the entire army and keep it like that for months on end if needed. It was with this amazing ability that he was able to win many wars and command his men to the fullest.

A skill designed to control armies, and inspire cooperation amongst the various countries that made up Rome. When utilized on a crowd, this skill inspires confidence, or other emotions the user desires. It can be be considered almost on par with the power of a command seal. Almost. When utilized, crowds of NPCs fall to his command. Masters and servants have a higher natural resistance.

Title: Florent - Crimson Flower of the Goddess
Rank: A+
NP Type: Anti-Unit, Anti-Fortress
Range: 1 - 100
Maximum Number of Targets: 1000
Description: Florent is a brother sword to Clarent and symbolises someone’s rule over all of the people on the continent. Said to have once belonged to Romulus, it was forged with the heart of a demon at its core, and Flora's divine protections are engraved into the blade. It was said that Flora herself is the only one who can chose those worthy enough to wield Florent, a status that not even Jupiter can bestow on others.

Florent amplifies the qualities of an emperor, and grants several bonuses to them. Unlike Mordred who did not earn Clarent, Lucius is Florent's rightful owner and as such it will never reject him. It increases each of his physical parameters, and amplifies the magical energy he pours into it. Increasing the power of attacks that use mana burst.

Finally, it amplifies the aura of authority the emperor possesses. Increasing the rank of Incitement by one rank.

It is said that in the past when the sword was lost, thirteen laws were placed upon by Florent by thirteen emperors of Rome. Their imperial status placing restrictions on its usage, to ensure that no other could hope to use the weapon against them. These seals are placed upon the heart of the demon that acts as the core of the blade, and only by removing all thirteen seals can the full power of Florent be utilized.

The thirteen emperors are Claudius, Otho, Tiberius, Augustus, Trajan, Caligula, Hadrian, Domitian, Commodus, Gallienus, Valerian, Maximinus, and Septimius. Their rules can be considered quite asinine, and nearly impossible for any one man to bypass. Effectively making it impossible to use Florent's full power.

Except, Lucius cares not for the thirteen laws placed upon the blade. By pouring energy into Florent, he uses his own imperial privilege to shatter the seals. A beam of devastating light is released from Florent, cleaving its way through armies and fortresses alike. It is said that only a sword forged in the heart of the world could ever hope to overwhelm the power of the demon heart.

[Effect:] In it's standard form, Florent is a B-rank Noble Phantasm.

Florent amplifies all magical energy that is poured into it. Increasing the damage of Mana Burst attacks when used through Florent. General damage with Florent is also raised.

All of Lucius' physical parameters are raised by one. (From B+, B, B+ to A+, A, A+ respectively.)
The user's imperial aura is also amplified. Increasing the rank of Incitement by one rank. (From B to A.)

Upon the true name release, Lucius pours magical energy into Florent, shattering the restrictions once placed upon it by the emperors of old. The beam of light released is capable of destroying even a fortress in a single swing, but doing so requires a great deal of magical energy.

Title: Flora - Radiant Grace of the Goddess
Rank: B
NP Type: Anti-Injury
Range: 1
Maximum Number of Targets: 1
Description: Florent is the blade of Flora, forged from the heart of a demon. She placed her affections and love into the blade, and whoever wields will possess Flora's affections and blessings. It is said that whoever possesses Flora's affection shall be free from all suffering.

When battling Arthur, an attack destroyed his arm, but with Flora's blessing which he amplified by using the land's magical energy he was able to regrow the entire limb in a moment.

[Effect:] A constantly active noble phantasm that uses Flora's blessing to restore Lucius body. If injured, the injury begins to heal at an improved rate.

Minor injuries are restored within a short period of time. Roughly the same posting round the injury is dealt. More serious injuries, like being stabbed or gutted can be restored with a period of roughly two posting rounds. A fatal injury (as long as Lucius spirit core is not destroyed) can be healed within a period of four posting rounds.

Poisons or traditionally negative effects are purged from Lucius' body as long as he possesses this blessing. Should Florent be lost for a period of time, this noble phantasm is sealed until it is recovered.

Defensive Engineer (Custom, B): Constantine can improve the defenses of one’s lair, mundane and magical, by up to B-Rank, making them hard to penetrate by intruders. This applies to things as mundane as walls, moats, and reinforced concrete bunkers, as well as bounded fields and mystic sentries, which he gains an ability to interact with and reshape to more efficient parameters.

Military Tactics (Sieges and Last Stands, A-): Applies a + modifier to a single Anti-Army Noble Phantasm of oneself and allies and a rank down or - modifier to the enemy Anti-Army Noble Phantasm. Note that if not in a siege or last stand, this merely applies a rank up to up to a single Anti-Army Noble Phantasms with their rank not exceeding A of oneself and allies and a rank down (as long as it is not A rank or higher) or - modifier (as long as it has a +) to enemy Anti-Army Noble Phantasm.

Bravery (B): At this rank, the threat of overwhelming force does not faze Constantine XI, who can resist mental interference effects of this rank (note that Magic Resistance already negates most such attempts to interfere with the workings of his brain), but more importantly, it increases the Melee Damage he inflicts.

Battle Continuation (C, Fourth Personal Skill): A Skill that allows for the continuation of combat after sustaining mortal wounds. It will also reduce the mortality rate from injury. This Skill represents the ability to survive and/or the mentality of one who doesn't know when to give up, consisting of one's strength of vitality in predicaments.

Title: Legend of Imperial Rebirth
Rank: A+
NP Type: Anti-Self
Range: 1
Maximum Number of Targets: 1
Description: Legends say that Constantine XI was saved from death by an Angel, turned into a marble statue, and stored in a secret cave underneath Constantinople’s Golden Gate in order to await true resurrection, after which he will, with God’s help, retake the city, restore the Empire, and drive the Turks back to Central Asia. This legend resonates in the hearts of the Greek people today, giving needed strength to the Servant.

The Legend of Imperial Rebirth is a crystallization of those legends which form their own Noble Phantasm, a Phantasm which envelops his body and cloaks it in the stuff of myths, enhancing its wielder’s capabilities to far beyond what he had in life.

And by that, when brought to the brink of death, Constantine XI’s clothes, armor, and sword turn as white as marble, and all Parameters and Skill Ranks are raised by one rank. He also gains the benefits of Golden Rule (Body), meaning that while he can be physically damaged, the damage in question cannot make him ugly. Not merely that, but Military Tactics reverts to its normal form and can be used without a malus in situations which are not a last stand or a siege. This effect lasts till the end of the fight.

Title: Hexamillion Wall
Rank: D
NP Type: Fortress
Range: 1 - 50
Maximum Number of Targets: 1000.
Description: The Hexamillon was a wall stretching throughout the Isthmus of Corinth with two castles on the end, and which had been repaired and rebuilt multiple times against invaders, never-succeeding in its objective. Nevertheless, Constantine XI was one of the last rulers to try and strengthen it, turning the wall and castles into a strongpoint which had to be broken with Gunpowder and Cannons...

A wall is conjured up across the battlefield with two castles at either end, and both wall and castles can shoot arrows of pure prana. This wall can withstand most mundane and magical attacks, and can be strengthened to B-Rank by someone, not just Constantine XI, with the appropriate Skill (usually Defensive Engineer).

The size of the wall and the castles depend on the size of the battlefield itself, but it can theoretically expand to the length of the Corinth Canal, which has the same length as the IRL Hexamilion Wall...

: A long time ago, there was the Palaiologos Family, overlords of Modern Athens, Salonika, and Sparta's magical communities. They were Independent Magi who resented any form of oversight, including the Magus Association's, and though powerful for a while, their arrogance and lack of alliances with the wider network of Magi led their vassal families to slowly peel off and join the Clock Tower and even Atlas Academy, slowly chipping away at their strength. The lowest point was when the seventh child of the family, Deuel Palaiologos, left their ranks and married Maria Adamos, an ordinary woman and a scientist to boot, and chose to live a humble life as a restaurant owner, free from the burdens of Magus politics and seeking The Root.

Daniel was born from that marriage, and for a while, he was left alone to be raised in love by his parents, going to school, making friends, and reading books of all kinds, which he understood and absorbed from a young age. A genius, smart enough that it counted as a curse, especially when coupled with a natural talent for Magecraft, which his father reluctantly taught him. This, however, was noticed by his grandfather's spies, who were still watching Deuel and his family. And it became worse when all of a sudden, all of Deuel's siblings, Daniel's uncles and aunts, died in mysterious circumstances, and so did their children, Daniel's cousins.

This left Deuel, Maria, and Daniel as the only way for House Palaiologos to continue, and Anastasios Palaiologos, Daniel's grandfather and the Head of House, came directly for Daniel with a large detail of bodyguards - Deuel and Maria were damaged goods and so he wanted Daniel as his heir. Because of the threat of force, there was no choice but to let Daniel be taken away 'for training'. Daniel was ten then.

The training was hard and unforgiving, and to keep Daniel motivated, Anastasios began fudging the truth, saying that the Palaiologos Family was surrounded on all sides by enemies such as the Clock Tower and the rest of the Magus' Association and that Daniel was being trained to be a hero who will eventually bring them down. Being an impressionable kid, Daniel believed his grandfather and willingly threw himself harder into his studies, which included diplomacy, etiquette, and the use of firearms and swords.

Four years later, Anastasios gave Daniel the family Magic Crest, and to all appearances, died of natural causes. Daniel was now Family Head at fifteen, inheritor of a large fortune in the mundane world but with declining respect and deference from other Magi and Spellcasters alike. And after meeting once again with his parents and childhood friends, Daniel began dutifully working to fulfill his Grandfather's will, which was to gather the misfits and outcasts of Magus society together into a 'Resistance' to fight the Clock Tower.

The first sign things were wrong was when Daniel saw that these misfits and outcasts were no saints, and a few were actually scumbags who deserved to be cast out, being the child-sacrificing louts who worshipped cosmic horrors and embodiments of metaphysical tyranny which he thought the Clock Tower was. The second sign was that when Daniel became too vocal with this sentiment, one of these 'oppressed misfits' instead reported him to the Clock Tower, who promptly sent people to arrest Daniel and nip his conspiracy in the bud. Despite being a 'prodigy' with more experience than a kid should have, he was still a teenager and was thus easily lured out and captured.

For a brief moment, Daniel considered blowing himself up rather than being subjected to the enemy's alleged cruel tortures, which included removal of one's magic circuits entirely. Then he was knocked flat by a punch to the stomach before he can do so, and woke up in a surprisingly comfortable cell. After that, he found out that not only had his Grandfather fed him lies, but that said Grandfather was still alive - He had created a unique form of Magecraft, based on Life and Necromancy Magics, which allowed him to add other people's lifespans to his own, tricking death itself into thinking he was supposed to still be alive. This magic was best-cast in a Bounded Field, and the real reason Daniel's uncles, aunts, and cousins died was because Anastasios had tricked them into a place with such a Field and transferred their lifespans to himself.

And yes, there was a recording of Anastasios gloating about his plans, as well as other pieces of supporting evidence showing that his endgame was to use Daniel to found an organization to fight the Clock Tower and the rest of the Mages' Association, manipulating said organization to acquire power and knowledge for himself.

After taking a while to absorb the information, Daniel allowed the Clock Tower to exact a fine from him of his Family's most powerful Mystic Codes, as well as give him an official reprimand. He would eventually join the Clock Tower itself, for despite its amorality, it was a net benefit for Humanity. And when news arrived that his Grandfather had re-emerged, in the Greek Lands which should be under his stewardship, he vowed to hunt down the old man.

Along with stopping his Grandfather, Daniel's wish is to replenish all of Humanity's resources except for Fossil Fuels, as well as mass regrowth of forests and coral reefs, along with the removal of excess Co2 and other greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. This is not because Daniel is an eco-geek or a fanatic about the environment, but rather to prevent Humanity from destroying itself through resource conflicts and climate change and taking Magus-kind down along with it, ending all Magi's search for The Root permanently.

Summary

There was a story of an ambitious Magi who stole the manifestation of the Holy Grail and transported it to Romania, where sixty years later, he declared his secession from the Magus' Association and revealed his possession of said Grail to provoke a war which will shake the heavens and the earth. That man was Darnic Prestone Yggdmillenia... And this is not his story.

For in this timeline, he who stole the Grail was stolen from, throwing off his plans for vengeance upon his fellow Magi. Darnic the Thief found that it was his turn to suffer theft, and all he can do was fume, for the Grail disappeared so perfectly that he could not find out who had stolen it. Several years later, in 2015, a new faction arose in the south of Greece, where Sparta once stood - These men and women proclaimed themselves the Philosopher Kings, harbingers of a world where Magi ruled over Mortals, and the Supernatural ruled over the Mundane.

And they had the Holy Grail - All they needed was a Holy Grail War to power it. And so Anastasios Palaiologos, leader of the Philosopher Kings, sent out a challenge to the Magus' Association and Yggdmillenia, telling them in simple terms that if they wanted the Grail, to 'come and get it!'.

Long story short, Anastasios and the Servant he summoned, Lucius Tiberius, massacred the initial forces Yggdmillenia and the Magus' Association sent, but not before those forces succeeded in activating the 'reserve system' of the Greater Holy Grail, allowing for the summoning of a whopping 21 Servants, allowing seven masters from the Magus' Association, Yggdmillenia, and the Philosopher Kings to fight it out to win the Spartan Holy Grail War!

---

Yes, I, Letter Bee, am running a Fate RP. And this time, we have a plan for how the plot goes, backup plans for if that goes awry, and we are not going to fill up all 21 Master-Servant Pairs right away - Instead, we will first fill up the Red Team with 7 Master-Servant Pairings, and when those are full, new Master-Servant Pairings can be applied for the other teams (which will also be staffed with 6 NPCs each (3 Masters and 3 Servants each) because there's no way in heck we'd ever get 42 PCs). Here are the rules:

Rules:

1.) No Gilgamesh (except as Caster as he is nerfed in that class), Enkidu, Karna (Except as a Rider or Archer), or Heracles. No King Hassan, Alcides, and Quirinus, either. Or Merlin. Basically, if it's as powerful as any of the listed Servants, it is forbidden for Players' PC choices.
2.) No Powergaming or Godmoding. Metagaming is allowed only if you have Divination Magecraft or other forms of 'flawless' info-gathering.
3.) Be nice to others as well as the GM and Co-GMs.
4.) Players who leave or drop out will have their characters controlled by the GM and Co-GMs.
5.) Dead Apostles (aka Vampires) exist in this setting but only the Philosopher Kings can have them as OCs/PCs when the Red Team has filled up and applications for the Philosopher Kings and Yggdmillenia are open. Every faction, however, can have Mixed-Bloods (people who are Half-Oni or some other magical creature), even the Red Team.
6.) Shielders, Rulers, Savers, and Foreigners are allowed but are still covered by Rule#1.
7.) Edited Rule: Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Servants will get a staging ground bonus from being summoned in Greece.
8.) From now on, all New Character Sheets require 3 Approvals from the Main GM and Co-GMs to be fully permitted to play. Also, Co-GMs can override or put a moratorium on Main GM decisions if they feel like they are bad for the game itself.
9.) The game is now set in 2015 instead of 2021.
10.) Canon!Artoria and Arthur (From Fate/Prototype, an alternate universe) can be summoned together at the same time, like in Fate/Grand Order.
11.) NPCs don't count for Red Team slots (there will always be 7 slots each for Masters and Servants), but they do count for Yggdmillenia and Philosopher Kings slots (meaning that there will only be 4 slots each for Masters and Servants for those teams).

Innocence Lost - A Science Fantasy RP [v.03]

GM Post - Natasha Zhang

Natasha tried to hide how much she was stressed right now, her head hurting and her blood running hot due to the Star Marines and various crew folk needing her to be their 'taxi service' as well as their Captain. Running ahead of Nero and plopping herself down on the cockpit seat, she remarked to the not-so-psychotic-soldier boy, "Oh, no, I saw how you piloted that gunship on the news. No one wrecks my ship while piloting it except for me, no offense meant."

And with that, she began preparations for liftoff, preparations made more difficult by the fact that the hangars were being locked down and her ship had been flagged as the vessel from where the 'Magical Terrorists' had come from. At least she stocked up on supplies, including shipboard ammo, which reminded her to check her accounts later on - They were still absurdly rich, right? Well, that can wait, as lifting off without authorization while trying to avoid collateral damage took all of her attention right now.

The Xuanzang exited out of the hangar into open space without further incident, except for a few spooked maintenance workers and pilots of maintenance craft, which nevertheless added several additional charges to the Crew's rap sheet. A pursuit followed as various Rau've made starfighters scrambled to intercept them, forcing her to activate her Spacewarper engines for a random jump into deep space so that she can at least have time to get her bearings and perhaps talk with Moonstrike One through FTL comms later on.

All the while, she didn't get what she should do, didn't know what to feel during this sudden upset of fortune. Everything was going so well and she was looking forward to a breather and relaxation and even allowing these kids a glimpse of a normal life. Speaking of which, she apologized further to Nero should he still be nearby, saying, "Sorry about what I said earlier - Just... I didn't expect to get booted off the Galactic Bazaar, of all places." Then it occurred to her, "By the way, you and the other Star Marines were attacked, right? That's why there was a Pillar of Fire and Security were after you guys." Opening the comms, Natasha said, "All right, everyone - To the Conference Room. We need to tell Moonstrike One we might have a new enemy!"

-------

Moonstrike One's Holographic Sigil was still a moon with two crossed longswords underneath it - One of her sigils. However, it seemed to vibrate as the modulated voice behind it said, "Operatives, it seems that we are seeing a coordinated attack on Moonstrike interests, considering the fact that news has arrived, from the Galactic Bazaar, that the local stock exchange was attacked by 'pirates' serving one 'Captain Aaron Falcon' - Another escapee of the Circle of Hell. This attack on the local stock exchange also stole many of the assets acquired by RealAscendancyStockBets' speculation on Plenty, speculation which, by the way, caused several thousand innocent people to be arrested for 'economic sabotage'..."

The hologram then turned to Ashton and Flame, the former which had frozen in shock at the consequences of his attempt to be 'clever, while the latter clenched his fists, "...And also gave the OIS a pretext to put hundreds of thousands more people under surveillance. But that's beside the point - Most of the money your crew acquired due to speculation has been stolen from your accounts, let it be a lesson for not coordinating with us."

She then continued, "Now for other news. The Kanarusian Federation has agreed to support Moonstrike and is sending one of its members to join your ship as a liaison. He was originally supposed to meet you all in the Galactic Bazaar, but after being informed of the 'incident', he has agreed to meet you all in the Crab Nebula instead."

And then files were sent to their Omni-tools detailing what information about Doruva was allowed for them to know, before Moonstrike One then continued, "By the way, Realist says hi."

Natasha, Ashton and Flame

Flame took down the Cone of Silence when he saw the portal appear, and he and Ashton began running towards the hole in space-time, hoping that everyone else did so as well. After a pause to catch their breath, Ashton looked around and said, "Everyone, roll call! How many of you are here?!"

As he looked around, the brown-haired boy noticed Klein's presence, but instead of moving to punch the other boy in the face, Ashton himself said, "Klein, I'm glad you came back for us! We were angry that you just up and left like that, but at the same time... We understand what you've been through -"

Flame interrupted then, "Don't speak for me, Ashton." He then walked up to Klein and said, "I want you to lower your mental shields and submit to a through checking of your memories by Avelyn. That's the only way I'll accept you as part of this group."

"Flame!" Ashton shouted, about to blurt out that Flame thought kinder of Crowley than anyone else here did, but that would expose his own faint hope that... No, there was no hope. Crowley had betrayed them and while he'd accept the other boy back after suitable 'penitence', the renegade Star Marine would not be the type to submit himself to that. But Klein, Klein was more forgivable, his only crime had been cowardice and a desire to have a better life than the abuse they had lived through. Nevertheless, his boyfriend was right - He just can't welcome Klein back with open arms. So Ashton continued, "Fine, Flame. I also want Laurey to look over all electronic devices Klein has on his person, there might be some data there, too. But first order of business is to check ourselves for injuries, then go to the good doctor."

It was then that Natasha entered the ship's lobby, saying, "All right, Kids, what exactly happened?! Some crazies who posed as Moonstrike operatives - They were not, I consulted Moonstrike One afterward - tried to paint the Moonstrike Symbol on our ship, almost wrecking our cover. And then I find out that some of you set fire to a sub-market and we're now wanted criminals." A deep sigh as she continued, "Add that to the fact that one of our numbers - Phi, I think her name was - has disappeared, and everything seems to be going downhill..."

She then looked at Klein and Jude and then said, "Greetings, new faces. My name is Natasha Zhang, Captain of this ship. Who might you all be? From appearance alone, you seem to be fellow Star Marines. Either way, once you're all done telling me what's happened, I'll show you all to the Medbay."
