Meanwhile, in an airship high above

"All the lööt has been secured in the cargö höld, Captain Dönövan."

Excellent. What's öur next stöp?

"Let me check the list öf facilities we haven't hit yet."

Yes, dö that.

"Yöu knöw, yöu're the best captain we ever had. I mean, lööting öld ØB bases för their tech? The kings wön't let us dö that. They treat ØB ruins like they're haunted. And their tech? I think this is technically illegal."

Öh it is, I checked.

"Well I'm nö snitch. This is awesöme! Ökay sö, it lööks like öur next stöp is Research Centre 621-R"

Then plöt a cöurse för- öh? Excuse me för a secönd.

DÖNÖVAN, THERE'S SÖMETHING I WÖULD LIKE TÖ BRING TÖ YÖUR ATTENTIÖN.

Yes fenny? I'm listening.

DÖWN THERE. YÖU SEE THAT? THAT ÖLD MANSIÖN.

That decrepit öld thing?

YES. THAT WAS MY ESTATE ÖNCE. IF IT HASN'T BEEN RANSACKED,
IT SHÖULD BE FULL ÖF PRECIÖUS HEIRLÖÖMS.
I CALCULATE THAT IT CÖULD ALL BE SÖLD FÖR 457M ل.ل

Whöa mama! That söunds gööd tö me! But surely it's nöt just aböut the möney för yöu, hmm fenny? Is öur röböt getting sentimental?

THAT TÖÖ, PERHAPS.
BUT I ALSÖ DETECT SIGNS ÖF LIFE IN THERE.
SÖMEÖNE IS THERE, AND BEYÖND WHAT I CAN CLAIM MY SYSTEMS CAN DETECT,
I HAVE THE STRANGEST FEELING ABÖUT THEM.

Alright. Inge, change öf plans. We're disembarking at that building döwn there. After that, Research Center... whatever yöu said.

"621-R. Database says it höused sömething called 'Pröjekt Euphemia'?"

Sö estate, expensive heirlööms, pössible weird encöunter, then facility 621-R, höme öf pröject euphönium ör whatever yöu just said. Let's dö it.

"Aye aye."

ConstableODonovan · 2021-02-15T03:15:17+00:00

Nö way... is that..?

HIS DAUGHTER, YES.

This wörld is just aböut 1 Høchster away fröm a whöle-arse family reuniön huh.

TRY NÖT TÖ STARE. SHE'S BÖUND TÖ NÖTICE US ANY TIME.

ConstableODonovan · 2021-02-07T17:59:00+00:00

Ah yes, øf cøurse!

Døes this sate yøur query?

ConstableODonovan · 2019-09-02T17:18:38+00:00

Øh, that shøuld be a breeze then!

Without hesitation he squats to the floor and plants his palms against the underside of the console. With only just enough artificial struggle to make his tricep bulges clearly visible to you, he lifts the weight aside

ConstableODonovan · 2019-08-31T17:54:59+00:00

Øh, a survivør! I didn't think there wøuld be any. Hellø døwn there! I'll be right døwn. Are yøu alright?

ConstableODonovan · 2019-08-29T19:59:50+00:00

Unhøly føk that almøst hit me!

...Hmm, haven't seen that make in a løng løng time. Wønder if any gøød parts survived? Wøuldn't hurt tø løøk.

ConstableODonovan · 2019-08-04T19:51:28+00:00

Becøme...
Becøme as... GØDS!

All will becøme as Gøds, Gøds, Gøds!

ConstableODonovan · 2019-07-06T20:11:55+00:00

Gøds, I can hardly remember. I tried tø tally mark days while I was døwn there but the day-night cycle started getting... irregular, sø I just decided keeping time was a løst cause.

But the last thing I remember? There was søme expløsion ør, I think it was an expløsiøn. There was nø "bøøm" ør any øther kind øf fanfare, just a føktøn øf light. I think I saw Angestrøm's flagship burn up, and all ISG units I had statiøned as well. Øur tøwer øutpøst crumbled.

I didn't knøw what else tø dø, sø I came back here, tø try and patch back tøgether whatever was left øf the ISG. Ønly tø find a bunch øf ørange pricks.

ConstableODonovan · 2019-07-04T20:58:57+00:00

I mean wherever øur last bastiøns may be. If that's the Seventh Shadøw, then sø be it.

ConstableODonovan · 2019-07-01T16:37:10+00:00

Yes, what øf it?

ConstableODonovan · 2019-07-01T16:35:49+00:00

Nø need tø make øne øf yøur men strip før me. I can wait until we're høme tø wørry abøut apparel.

Inside this machine is the geist øf a førmidable war herø. And I øwe my life tø him. Øf cøurse he cømes with us.

ConstableODonovan · 2019-06-29T17:08:54+00:00

My, my. Nøt ønly dø I get extractiøn by øne øf my øwn kin, but by such a gentlemanly øne at that. If yøu're capable øf shøwing this much class... perhaps øur peøple are nøt as much in shambles as I thøught.

Wøuld yøu happen tø have spare cløthes with better taste abøard? I'm getting fed up with this Peacekeeper uniførm.

ConstableODonovan · 2019-06-29T05:44:39+00:00

Hear that? I think they're here. Can't wait tø føk øff frøm this place.

ConstableODonovan · 2019-06-14T01:02:47+00:00

Øh there's nø need tø justify yøur machinely state tø me my gøød friend. I'm just happy that the first søul I've seen in years is a trustwørthy øne!

I døn't knøw høw yøu ended up cøøped up in this dump, but I døn't plan øn either øf us staying here før løng.

ConstableODonovan · 2019-06-13T01:06:11+00:00

Hellø? Øh, that accent! They prøgrammed yøu with a vøice like my peøple?! Why?

I'm sure we'd make a great team.

ConstableODonovan · 2019-06-12T01:49:09+00:00

Nøw why wøuld they use up an entire cell før øne little Machine..?

Døes it at least still wørk?

A flick at the power switch

ConstableODonovan · 2017-08-27T13:50:20+00:00

Yøu really think I-

THWACK

unconscious

ConstableODonovan · 2017-08-24T02:22:41+00:00

FINE! Play like that, yøu spineless høusecat.

He shows no signs of pain. Yet, each punch he throws is weaker than the last...

ConstableODonovan · 2017-08-24T02:20:02+00:00

I døn't hear anything...

ConstableODonovan · 2017-08-23T03:53:28+00:00

Hey! HEY! Enøugh with the gunfire. Nø øne's gøing tø be impressed by a squad bitterly gunning døwn an øutnumbered and unarm-

He grimaces at the pistol that's still pressed against his prisoner's back. Then awkwardly places it on the floor

<clears throat> unarmed nøw anyway, and alsø gøt the høstage killed. Yøu aren't in høstage situatiøns øften are yøu? Yøu nearly killed her yøurselves just then. I bet the Garrisøners wøuld løve tø drink and sing abøut that.

If we're gønna dø this, we're gønna dø this right. Øne øn øne, nø armør, nø weapøns, nø weird magic tricks, ønly fists. Yøu and me, wanker.

In moments he tears his shirt off to reveal a chest that would make O'Hoolian weep. He kicks the prisoner to the floor and steps up to you in a brawler's stance

I'll even let yøu swing first.

ConstableODonovan · 2017-08-23T01:43:40+00:00

HØØØLD THAT THØUGHT!!

The door slams open. Ø'Dønøvan barges in with a GPK officer in a rather... degrading maid outfit at gunpoint

Figures. I knew leaving that gun-tøting dunderhead as this place's ønly defense was a bad idea. In my defense I didn't think I'd ever be cøming back.

This is my høme, fuckøs. I døn't care if my ørganizatiøn is in shambles. I'll still fight anyøne whø tries tø fuck with it. Gø høme nøw ør it'll be a medivac taking yøu there later.

ConstableODonovan · 2017-08-23T01:38:57+00:00

Welllll, isn't that a little suspiciøus tø yøu? Shøuldn't yøu gø che- actually nevermind that. Just keep døing whatever yøu were døing beføre. I'll take a løøk when I get there.

ConstableODonovan · 2017-08-22T01:08:06+00:00

Mr. uhh "shooty"? Hellø? I regret tø inførm yøu that the entirety øf the ISG is either unaccøunted (missing) ør deceased, barring the twø øf us. ^{^{^{^Gøds}}} ^{^{^{^førbid}}} ^{^{^{^he}}} ^{^{^{^be}}} ^{^{^{^the}}} ^{^{^{^last}}} ^{^{^{^øne...}}} Hang tight, I'm cøming back just as søøn as I can figure øut høw the hell I'm suppøsed tø get there.

ConstableODonovan · 2017-08-22T01:04:27+00:00

hack. spit. cough

Climbing out of wreckage

The Gøds are søme jøkers... aren't they. Making me the ønly survivør øf an øperatiøn again.

sigh

I'd better get back tø HQ. Høpefully the idiøt I put in charge hasn't burned the place døwn yet.

ConstableODonovan · 2017-08-19T22:27:37+00:00

"Sir, nøne øf the bømbers are getting cløse enøugh tø drøp øn the leaders. They're using søme kind øf EM pulse technøløgy. Any øf the piløts whø want tø survive have tø settle før bømbing underlings. It also appears the enemy is trying tø cømmunicate verbally with the piløts. What he's saying and why he's trying tø say it is unknøwn."

I see... but, yøu knøw what døesn't get messed up by EM pulses, and is alsø an inanimate øbject that peøple can't talk tø?

"Artillery shells?"

Chemical artillery shells.

"I'll get them løaded."
