"That's prolly not necessary Gilbert. Bet there's plenty of people who'd be willing to lend their car to us."

"Hey guys," Ethel says, waving to the hobos, "Where's the nearest dude with a car 'round here?"

So here's the weird one. Aman has it easy in Israel, but we have a two-day holiday starting  tonight and ending Tues night. Wed-Fri is good. Then Sat-night through Wednesday (I think) is holiday again. Apparently ends the 6th. After that we're clear 'til Hanukkah sometime december

Ethel turns her face away from the hobos in disgust, but rings up a map on her phone, looking for Redmond Downs.

"Uh, you guys," she motions to the hobos, "You hear something about Genny Putkoff? Or a Tesla?"

"Eeeeewww." Ethel pinches her nose as she exits the ship, pistols holstered and hand-crossbow loaded with tranqs. "This is worse than those sulfur-baths fogies go into. Ugh."

Sighing, she continues, "So we're bound to find either Genny or Tesla in this dump, huh. So where would the redjacks be?"

"Let him go? Ethel, you have any idea how much i'm worth? How much Butch is worth? We ever let him go he's coming after us next..."

"Butch is Butch!" Ethel whines, shaking her head from side to side. "But Cold Rock Johnson is amaaaaaaaaaaazing!"

The girl sighs, finally tilting her head to face Crystal, "But I smell ya. Maybe we could like, make a deal or something. He'd totally understand. We'd like, help him understand, ya know?"

"Hey, what do you think we could sell Cold Rock for? I mean like, into slavery as some rich guy's trophy, or to any criminal who hates him, not as a bounty."
Crystal asks absent-mindedly.

"Why would we ever do that?!?" Ethel exclaims, alarmed, "We'd keep him..." an awkward pause, "then, you know... Let him go and stuff." Wacky psychic.

"Also - anyone wondering what extra charges they added to this poor innocent soul to get his bounty so high?"

"Uh, LifeCyclon wasn't very helpful when we were there. Got to talk to some fascist security guard that was a real blowhard. Something's seriously wiggy about this case. Maybe we can get Nat to get back in there once she comes back. Will probably do better than us..." As Ethel murmurs this, she hits up her phone to search up any news regarding fires and houses on Venus. "You know, I thought Gilbert blowin' up the house was funny, but it just might slow Cold Rock down enough that we can meet him! Wouldn't that be so cool?"

Just thinking of Cold Rock makes Ethel forget about opening Jacob's secret package, and she simply slumps into one of the Scoutship's chairs instead, her head off in space. This is probably a good thing, considering Crystal's trying to sing...

End says he looks White, not Hispanic despite his background, so I figure he's sorta pale with dark hair. Probably a tattoo on his nethers that he keeps private.
Killa's probably a white guy with glasses and light brown hair. Probably with those animatronic neko-ears you can buy on amazon.

Ugilick-- one of the only people who can pull off a goatee like that haha.
Aman looks nothing like I thought. What's up with those airfoil eyebrows dude?
Interested to see Killa and End haha.
Considering posting a pic of myself soon enough. I'm really just a much leaner (as opposed to stocky) Aman with a bit less facial hair because I'm too lazy to trim.

Sounding a bit annoyed, Ethel shrugs, "Neat deets, I guess. Dunno, shouldn't we wait until after the mission until Gilbert blows his savings? There could be people after Genny as we speak."
She giggles lightly as Gilbert waddles over to blow up Genny's house, but doesn't waste time watching as she heads back to the ship.

"Blowing stuff up is fun, but why'd you wanna destroy the house? It do something to you?"

Ethel lets out a yawn and stretches her arms out while waiting for Gilbert to answer.

"I kinda doubt a bountyhead would be staying in his house, Ethel." Butch says with a chuckle. "We're here to try and find clues about his whereabouts."

"... Oh." Ethel frowns, disappointed. Bounty-hunting was supposed to be a whole lot more exciting...

"Try not to hurt him too bad," Ethel states in a clear voice, "I got some things I wanna ask him. Somebody framed him, probably. Maybe. Guess we'll see if it's worth going into."

With a short chuckle, she continues. "But, uh, what's the plan? We could probably just, ya know, tranq him, but I figure we should surround the building and block off all the exits. I'm thinkin' like, Simon annoys slash scares him away by the front door while the rest of us minus Gilbert flush him out by going in through other entries... If there are any?" Ending with a preposition, Ethel examines the house for doors, windows and the like.

Thank God. Wow that's scary. We've had a couple really active people on the site just simply disappear without a word and never return, and honestly my thoughts usually turn to a fatal car-related incident as an explanation -it's just such a common way to get hurt that you're really lucky to have gotten out unharmed.

So if I'm reading right, basically Berka's article is saying that while actual violence has declined, the 'threat of violence' (police) is basically in it's stead anyway.

That's not wrong. We've seen several cases in America's history what happens when the police go on strike. Death-rates in today's Baltimore have shot up if I remember correctly.
And, of course, the Middle-East is predominantly a shithole as it's always been

I feel like there's a lot more 'soft' people nowadays, what with college students needing their 'trigger warnings' and whatnot, and while I'm not sure how that fits in the discussion, I think that our current culture is different, not 'better' regarding violence or it's prevalence. I mean, TV is much more violent nowadays than it was 50 years ago, but that doesn't mean much either way. Things like teachers hitting their students is just expressed differently nowadays in our culture.

"..." Ethel bites her lip, realizing that Simon's just doing what he does. "Just, err, don't get arrested!" Ethel yells, meanwhile turning on her com-link to the rest of the group.

"We got nothing. LifeCyclon is operated by a bunch of fascist turds, so Simon is inciting a crowd against them. Anything on your end? Over?"

"What a dick!" Ethel groans, preparing to get back to the ship, only to notice Simom's mob. She wouldn't participate of course, but she'a more or less okay atu it after how that Secrity chief acted.

Still, she's bit confused. "Wait, Simon," she asks him, "What's your plan?"

Things go south so quickly...

Walking to the metal detectors and announcing that she is armed (permit or no), triggers a quick response and instantly summons over two dozen security guards. They swarm Ethel and Simon and bum rush them into a security office off to the side, ignoring their objections or attempts to 'explain themselves'.

Ethel and Simon are forcefully relieved of their weapons and/or permits, all personal possessions, are then handcuffed, and locked in separate holding cells (unless they want to resist, get tazed, and have the shit beaten out of them first).

Three hours later, someone comes to take their statements.

It is a hard-faced Security Chief with two assistants, who speak to Ethel and Simon through the bars.

Regarding Simon, he says, "I'm surprised you don't have multiple bounties on yourself by now 'Mr. Archer' - if that is indeed your real name."

Then to Ethel, he gives a sadistic smirk - "Ms. Etheryn Clarke. Care to explain why you thought entering the LifeCyclon Arcology with weapons (for any reason) was a good idea?"

"Oh bugger."

Ethel rolls her eyes as all the commotion happens, evidently not very experienced with bureaucracy and its red tape. She doesn't really bother resisting and is content with just waiting on whatever seat is in the cell and staying there, thinking about the situation and occasionally about what the others might be doing.

Replying to the mean Security Agent, she off-handedly seethes, "I thought that people who might do something harmful don't usually say, 'disclaimer; I'm armed' and prepare to give their arms over-- ugh,"  she waves her hands, "but whatever. Works out though, cuz you're good to talk to as well. Got some questions, you know. But that can wait if, you know, want, I guess. What now?"

"Fine," Ethel quietly pouts, "just don't embarrass me or anything. Just help me when I need it."

"You know," she remarks mid-step, "I've always wanted to work in a place like this. Refined, efficient, yet huge in scale. Ahh, researching here must be so interesting!.. Desk jobs gotta suck though."

Ethel attempts to walk through the metal detectors, obviously showing her permits for the assemblage of firearms she regularly carries ("Can't ever be too careful!"), leaving them if necessary, and then to one of the clerks at the desk. Proceeding to show her ID, she says with a cheerful smile, "Hi there! Two things; one, do you know who of the senior management I can talk to about the after school programs this company is involved in? My father, Tobias Clarke-- you may have heard of him? Was saying that it could be a cool thing to look into."

Assuming that Simon speaks forthe group, Ethel texts back, "kk".

Using her phone as a GPS, she begins her (probably) short journey to the LifeCyclon building. Lots of questions to be asked here, she thinks, readying herself to invoke her hated father's name for her benefit.

Currently away from the group and a bit wary about going off alone, she sends off a text to all her colleagues.

I think Simon is on drugs, Ethel sighs, annoyed that she won't get her bean curd and even more annoyed that something that should have been over a whole speech ago escalated so quickly.

"I'm sooooo sorry about that," Ethel tries to explain, slowly realizing that nothing she could say could tone down the situation as well as that Simon's not going to apologize, she flees out of the restaurant with her head down, aiming to go over to the LifeCyclon building-- that is their next-best lead besides hacking things, after all.

"Gilbert, you can't just take one of everything and let it cut into the payoff," Ethel whispers with a frown, "Some of us want as much as we can get..." She grabs a menu and points to the fried bean-curd, showing it to one of the teens and nodding, only then content to wait for their reaction to Gilbert's blunt questioning.

"We're just getting a bite to eat and asking some questions so we should probably just bring what's legal..." with that said, she makes it a mental note to pocket some poison powder, her twin Deck Pistols, the tasing gun and her spray mace. "And Gilbert, you should totally come with! The sunlight's probably good for you."

Ethel then visibly recoils as Gilbert adjusts his very large self in his chair, "Though we should probably just get you a wheelchair or something... Or just get takeout instead."

"Your voices are funny," Ethel remarks, the helium starting to get to her as well. She doesn't even bother correcting Simon, taking solace in the fact that he's wasting an entire syllable.

"Uh, whichever one is closest to our destination right? We're heading off to the Soy Boy Bean restaurant, so wherever the GPS says that is we go to the one nearest to it."

She looks around the room, "Should someone wake Ezekiel? He's missing all the fun. He should probably go after the Jackson guy..."

Looking at her phone, she remarks, "Huh, I guess we're gonna be getting a bite to eat first thing when we get to Venus. Neatos."

"Excuse me?" He whirls around to confront Ethel.
"You're talking to me?  You want to know what I do on this ship?"
He tosses his head back and strikes a particularly dramatic pose.
"I'm Simon Mayhem!  Galaxy-renowned rock star and Master of the Dark Arts!"
After a short pause for (probably nonexistent) approbation, he continues in a more conversational tone.  "Who are you, anyway?  I don't remember you being part of the crew when Gargamel gave me the tour."

"That's not a job... Is it?"

She shakes her head, "Ethel, Simon. My name is Ethel. I'm new," the girl forces a smile, "... If you consider being here nearly a month 'new'."

Facing away from the rockstar she speaks into wherever the Comms are, "Cap'n, I wanna go to catch Genny Putkoff!.. Unless you want me elsewhere, I guess."

With that thought, she glares at the ever-bizarre Simon Mayhem, "Wait, what do you do on the ship anyway?"

"... Okeydokey then," Ethel declares, a bit offset by Gilbert's wall of speech. "Both these bounties seem kinda peculiar, what with one with a scientist who stole some milking equipment and the other that actually contacted us. Very weird, huh."

She pauses before addressing the room, "So we're doing both bounties, right? I wanna take down Putkoff, seems like an interesting guy to meet. Who's with me?"

The girl proceeds to yawn, stretching her arms behind her neck. "Might be a moot point though. Cap'n's got that crazy conspiracy theory so I dunno if he'll even allows us to send a video. Gonna be tricky considering, uh," her eyes dart around the room as she tries to remember who's in danger or not. "Yep."

"That's odd," Ethel wonders aloud, swinging her legs off the lounge table. "I remember hearing about Putkoff. He's an award winning scientist, doesn't make much sense that he'd steal dairy equipment."

"Wait up Simon. Dunno if we even want to do the bounty yet, right? I mean, the extra cash would be nice, but it seems kinda silly, no?" Butch asks.

"We should totally do it!" Ethel gets up, excited, "it's like a mystery. Plus, it can't be that hard, right? A fun little job can't hurt, and of course, that free vacation..."

Capt. Montoya hops on his comes, the wierd signal is still bugging him but he can look into it more later, for now there is space piracy and heroics to be had.

"We just received a job everyone! Our heroics... And some hacking.... Has our reputation growing! let's meet up to make arrangements."

He then immediately sets about trying to trace back all information he can on the transmission his account received as well as the ones who supposedly posted the bounty , can't be too careful with the secret society!

"Heya Cap'n!" Ethel calls out, getting up to communicate through the Comms, "That makes two bounties for us to do! When are you coming down?"

Nice to know that you're God at your job Killa. That's what I aspire to as well

Currently my summer job is basically homework-tutoring for kids my age and below. It only gets bad when I'm forced to worth with an obnoxious wannabe-youtuber of a 6th grader, but this year I got out of that deal because a friend of mine was willing to pay me to help him with an entire course he's taking so he can try to skip (after being held back.) Pay's great because the course is online so I can help out whenever I want and while watching stuff.

Currently interested in Biomedical Engineering, particularly bionics and the like. It's a field that's expanding with the times and also a big thing in Israel were I to eventually move there, and helping develop usable prosthetics for handicaps is just a really important thing to do and something I'm passionate about. That said I've really wanted to go in the medical field, either in pathology or surgery, but spending over a decade in college is just a very scary proposition, so I figure I'll just go for an EMT license and Paramedic after that so I still have that sort of experience but without having to dedicate so much time to it. Still got time though haha.

Grappling kinda allows for that, especially if you get the Sumo Edge. Plus there are 'Called Shots' and the like I'd you want to do it.
Grappling alone has all these to consider--
...Body Slam
...Bumrush
...Choke
...Disarm
...Hold
...Pin
...Trip

And Sumo adds three more to that. Then there's edges that allow for scarring your opponent, etc.
