"The...Uh—The...", Liman said, twirling her fingers around. "The—flatbread you are making, ma'am."

Naomi: Heh. Free of charge! I've still got... uh...

-Naomi stares off into space for a moment-

Naomi: ...a substantial sum of my pay from helping those guys kick werewolf ass, so...


Six: Yeah. We used to live on hundreds of colony worlds and space stations. From the solar system we started out in to 23 Librae, 83 light-years out.

Now? We've got Earth, probably a handful of insignificant outpost worlds. The Covenant have got to the rest. No idea how the hell they're doing it, but they've glassed nearly every single planet we've owned.

Her eyes widened, brows raised high as she stood up, flabbergasted. "F-Free?"

"No—Well, no. That is...No. I—We...If...we insist of—repaying, ma'am...?"

Naomi: Theeeeeeeeeen I guess just the monetary value of what I bought, which is like...

fifty credits tops for everything?

Six: Yeah.

One of those unimportant things I was thinking about? Whether or not humanity's doomed.

Looking back... I think we are.

"Then—", she quickly whipped out a coin stash of sorts, putting some coins onto the table.

A quick look will show about half a dozen gold coins, a dozen silver ones, and several copper coins. All minted with an odd three-arrow symbol of sort on one face, and a menacing looking bald man on the other face.

Naomi: ...and you're absolutely sure you want to do this. Because if you want to keep the money and use it for something important, you can take it, right now, and I'll pretend you never offered.

"No, ma'am.", she quickly replied. She sorted out three silver coins and a copper one, keeping the rest as she stacked them neatly. "It—doesn't feel right. Eating for—free, especially when I have just met you."

"If I didn't pay for the food anyhow, I—Uh, the sergeant will reprimand me. Ma'am."

Six: And yet there's nowhere else to run. We've never even gotten the chance to strike at their fortresses or their manufactoriums, because we've never been able to recover any useful nav data indicating where they are.

Not like we'd be able to do anything. All our losses are because they obtain space superiority first. We're equally matched on the ground. But in the stars? We consider losing half a battle group to kill one Covenant fleet element a strategic victory.


Naomi: Alrighty, okay. If you insist.

-Naomi sweeps the coins into a pocket, then continues making pancakes-

She smiled contently, sitting where she is and went back to observing Naomi work at it.

"Oh—May I...have your name?"

Six: Tried that. Lasers can't get out of the atmosphere unless we pump an entire city's worth of power into them - and we haven't made one that can withstand that. The Covenant can shoot down missiles so long as they've got more than 30 seconds warning.

And even a Super MAC shell loses half its kinetic energy breaking atmosphere.


Naomi: Naomi Studwick, at your service!

-turns away from the pancakes to bow-

Keeping her hands on the table, she bowed her head and upper torso to reply to Naomi's bow. "Liman Dunkenstahl, Miss Studwick. A pleasure to make your acquaintance."

Sometimes reality is cold like that.

I know how to fight them, but I am literaly incapable of it myself.

Aura: Mages themselfs? That depends heavily in the family you are asking about.

They safegaurd there secrets so well, that you can tell who your up agianst by the type of magic there using.

The Yukimura? There artificiers, if you see robots that can use lightning, if you see swords that are on fire, or bullets that seem to go around walls, you have encountered a Yukimura.

The Miura they are vitamancers, Raising the Dead? Mutation? Healing wounds? It is probaly one of them

The Hashimoto? Elemantalists, if the sky rains fire, if the ground erupts into lightning, it is there doing.

The Kawaguchi control the waves, and are about the only group of mages I don't know a counter too, even normal anti-magic doesn't work when your dealing with some one who causes a wave to crash down onto your ship, there just isn't a counter for it.

The list goes on, and on.

Six: Think any of them would be able to figure out a way to kill a thirty kilometre long supercarrier hanging outside of the atmosphere, without getting themselves murdered by its support coterie?
