((I thought Bob was designated DE001?))

[somemildmanneredidiot]

(I'll explain that over Discord better, but Entity-Demonic is better for categorizing and numbers tend to have some coincidences sometimes.)

Vhan stores their equipment in their footlocker and takes a walk around the compound. Afterwards Vhan decides to climb on the roof of a building and enjoy the view.

Mako plugs herself into VR to get virtually shit-faced in a bar full of scantily clad women and men.

"Money was taken from me and the others to pay his debt. Now I don't know about the rest of you, but I need that money for a new body or I will die. I can keep myself from dying short term by consuming souls, and I'm sure you don't want me resorting to such a drastic measure."
(How much was taken again?)

[somemildmanneredidiot]

Ratodx is obviously not impressed by the threats involved there and has not turned away from the screen in which he and pre-cyberdrunk Mako are composing the report.

"I am aware of those things. And as we have gone over before, Danh will be paying everyone back starting with whomever wants to be paid back first. You are the only one who has commented on wanting to be that person, so you will be paid first. Of course, Danh could decide to never transfer funds to you as both of you were continuously antagonistic to each other in the field to the point of near violence."

"But surely he values paying back debts more than he desires to screw you over." The sarcasm drips. "Which is to say, don't keep trying to provoke the man who's job description is 'I carry and fire the gun that levels buildings'. It will not end well. Fucking with squad members in general is a shit idea, and one that I had thought was understood as falling under Rule 1. If you need to get your jollys off on something, go check out some VR or join some classes so you can use the computers to learn which personnel are approved for terrorizing."

"If it really becomes an issue, you can just get some monkeys and eat monkey souls until you can buy a new body. You can apparently get them quite easily if what Amadou did a few days ago is of any indication."

(It was like 17ishC, I'll have the amount in full listed in the 003 report.)

Khaiden walks off in silence.

Sadly, Danh needs money to buy real booze.
Sighing, he sit down in the nearest non-magi/medical/research room, takes his tablet out, and begins writing up a report.

This is Danh Loi's report on finger horrors.Gate Team 047. So we saw it's IR signature out in the darkness. Opened fire, obviously. The first volley was just small arms fire, and some magic shit one of the elves did. Didn't do jack shit either, it kept charging. So I loaded a 20mm HE underbarrel grenade into my 5.56 Stormatrooper LMG (which is a great gun), and fired at the thing. Only blew a chunk off. Then it clobbers one of these lizard this we summoned, it dies pretty much instantly, I think. At that point, it passed us, but turned around and began coming back for a second run. Everyone but me and the orc hit the deck, probably scared or something. I guess I can see why, it was one ugly-ass motherfucker. But yeah, the thing killed another lizard, and no one else got hurt. Seeing as grenades did nothing serious, I tell Ratodx to give me the gauss rifle. He does, I lock it into the brace, bam, fire. Rod hits the fucker dead-center, and it explodes. Apparently that thing can regenerate, even though it was basically mush, so Khaiden suggests the first and probably only thing that'll come out of that mouth of his. Burn it, so it can't regenerate. But of course, we have to take fucking samples. Samples this, samples that, they're not that fucking important. Apparently burning it would get it's ash everywhere, which would in turn mess us up, despite us having sealed gear. So now that this is probably regenerated, ready to destroy the next group that walks into that godforsaken forest. Samples are taken, then the goblin starts freaking out about the lizards. I guess whatever that thing kills, it infects or something? Kinda like that old American movie, The Thing. Anyway, we shoot at them for a bit, before Ratodx orders everyone to back up, and for me to underbarrel the two infected lizards. I do, and they both turn into mush. We move in after that, finally.
To end, I'd say gauss is most effective against these things. Bring one if you're going in. Well. What isn't gauss effective against? And I highly suggest it be made mandatory that every squad has someone who can efficiently operate a gauss, as well as have a gauss weapon of some sort.
Danh Loi, ending report.

"Ratodx, how would you feel about me writing a report on the ED005 incident? Akras might be interested in what actually happens to a person when that much power flows through them."

[KaineFisher]

Khaiden uses the voice-recognition software to make a report on what he can contribute:
"The fog was highly-charged with necromantic energy and without my ability to see life-essence and souls we would have been lost. We ran into some kind of Undead covered in fingers, but managed to put it down by shooting it repeatedly. Either the fog healed it, it can regenerate, or it takes more than what we used to put it down permanently, but it started getting stronger again. Since it would be a waste of resources and not help the mission we chose to continue on. The vampires have a lot of very powerful necromancers among them, and it seems like they are joining Akras for fun, not gain. As such, I'd advise making sure they know what will happen if they cross Akras."

After studying for a bit, Dexter decides to record a report on the incident with Bob.

Spoiler: Report of ED005 incident (click to show/hide)

The following is the account of Aux. Dexter Antonius, Auxiliary Squad 047, on the incident involving the summoning of ED005. It occurred several hours after the acquisition of the Gaian village AS047 was tasked with dealing with.

"Acting squad leader Ratodx was asking us about our magical abilities, and I told him I could summon demons. He, naturally, wanted some more information, which I gave him, detailing the various methods (contracting and manifesting). Ratodx then had the idea to have me summon a demon, so we could acquire some information about the vlads. Ratodx, Melkanos and I proceeded to the VTOL, and Melkanos and I began preparations. I drew the main summoning digits, and Mel provided wards. I don't know exactly what wards he used, you would have to ask him.
Anyway, I began the ritual, putting about 20 monkeys worth of power into it. It promptly appeared, and asked me why I had summoned it. Negotiations ensued, and payment was given after every answer. At first, it was no big deal, we asked him one thing at a time, about 2-300 souls of mana were given, if that. We had even given him a temporary name, "Bob". Then came the info-dump.
We had asked him a variety of things, such as the rules for this transaction, etc, and had gotten around to the actual information we had wanted. The payment he wanted for all of it was. . . a lot. I don't remember the exact number, but it was at least 10k. We, somewhat foolishly, agreed, and the exchange took place. We got information, he got energy. We had also requested a sigil with which to contact him, and that was given (after this happened, I believe Ratodx requested someone come retrieve that). Then, he manifested, unexpectedly. The imp was not at least 10 stories, and after coming through, he just ripped a hole in reality and stepped through, only on this plane for a few seconds.

I've never had that much power flow through me before. At first, it felt like the sun was shining very brightly, giving me a slightly warm feeling all over. Then, it was like I was on the surface if the sun. The hair on my arms was singed off, and I nearly vomited. At the time, I barely even registered ED005's manifestation, I was just focusing on not bursting into flame. As soon as I could, I excused myself to the barracks, where I vomited, and curled in the shower, with the water as cold as I could get it. I'm not sure what kept all that energy from turning me into a pile of Elf pudding, but I survived."

"Ratodx, I just send you a report to review. Let me know if anything needs to be added or redacted."

((I made a slight retconn about what Dexter did to cope with the energy transfer to make it more dramatic. Hope you don't mind))

[somemildmanneredidiot]

((Sorry, I've been busy as heck these past few days. I'll try to have all the posts I need to do finished by the end of today. Also gosh darn it guys, learn to write reports that put us in the best possible light  It's legitimately a valuable corporate skill IRL and in game it is how Foxhound got the cash and reputation to get where they are today.))

[S34N1C]

((That's who I sent it to Ratodx for approval. I personally am not sure how to phrase it in a positive light))

[TheBiggerFish]

((Eh, what the heck, PTW.))
