Euro-Magellan just can’t catch a break!: I guess most people were expecting this operation to go to shit… er, I mean, 100% to plan. For those of you just joining us… Padma Singh (aka Hair’Port) is a sixth year cadet doing her placement with Euro-Magellan… the European based branch of Force Magellan. As you might presume by her code name (which her trainers aren’t that on board with, by the way) she teleports via her mystical hair. Hans (aka Healing Hans) (yes, I like puns) is a hands on healer attached to Euro-Magellan…
Patrons: Over on Patreon page 110 is now up…
Next update: Wednesday March 24: 100% to plan… not.
“which her trainers aren’t that on board with” … great, that’s practically requirement for teenager code name.
I think it was specifically Tom that seemed less than happy about that codename, Freya didn’t seem to mind, and I myself think it’s pretty good. Maybe she is putting too much pause in the middle or emphasis on the P, so that it sounds more like “Hair Port” than “Hairport”, i.e. more reminiscent of a port with sea and ships than one with planes and strips. I lean heavily towards “Hairport” in my mind and it sounds good to me.
With respect, Force Magellan’s strategy kinda got screwed by the Rarg’s power nullifying pulse, and Magellan USA got screwed by Prometheus corp suddenly turning villain on them, so it’s not just the Euros.
It’s almost like SOMEONE decided to tell the story of the worst possible day the Magellanverse could have…
Would H’P be able to port away with the debris? 🤔
Too heavy… Edderkoppen will be physically strong enough to move it.
Easy on the 4th wall there Charisma, the Master Assassin already called dibs.
Yeah, he’d be PISSED if the Rarg gave the main character a heroic death before he could eliminate them from the narrative.
I wonder if crew members normally manning the controls being needed elsewhere is really rare enough that it should be acceptable to have crew members that cannot land their aircraft? Also, if she’s that unsure about it, why not ask if Kaycee or Charisma happens to know how to do it?
Phlache: Relax, kids, I’m a great pilot! I aced every… other… part of the piloting exam! Simulators don’t really reflect actual landing conditions, right?
Charisma (sotto voce): Should I be praying right now?
Kaycee (also sv): Things don’t look THAT bad y-
*muffled boom, alarms start going off*
P: N-no worries! Jets land all the time with only o- *another boom, more alarms* eh, with no engines all the time! I-I got this!
K: Maybe just a small prayer?
C: *crosses herself with left hand* Hail Mary, full of grace, Rita Heyworth, gave good face, *Kaycee looks at her questioningly* It’s Madonna’s Prayer, very popular among pop stars, celebrities, famous people… like YOU’d know!! *jet begins to shudder, Charisma squeezes eyes shut* Lauren, Kathryn, Vanna too…
OMG! I LOL when she got to “Rita Heyworth” because I knew EXACTLY where she got that from. 🙂
