  "There's something you don't see every day..." said Gee around a mouthful of Europan calamari, the tentacles still wriggling thanks to the high sodium content of the sauce he'd just bathed it in. "Gee, there is but one particular situation where talking with one's mouth full is acceptable and this is not it. But you're correct. If they're really unlucky, one day a S.T.A.R.ed horror will adapt and figure out a way to steer and propel itself, then we'll have AeroHos." He paused for a moment. "Mental note, have Bioweapons look into that." Meanwhile, Aethelred's fingers flew briefly over the control interface in his seat. ------- Replacing challenge Military Millinery with Rapidly, Ruthlessly, Viciously: Damage the Zodiac before Turn 30.

 Rook Engineered Organisms This is Rook. We would like it known that we find the [Horror's] AEriAL ADVEntURES very amusing. It is unfortunate that such must be juxtaposed with the budding [Warhulk's] incadescent destruction. Such is life. This was Rook.

 Gideon Pallas, Wrecker Wrelations, Turnt™ Alcohol-Infused Concotions. "Turnt™ would like to offer our sincere congratulations to the Map Wi-, er, Survivor, our esteemed customer, Talcum Bee Buzzen. Was it our Malt-0153™ that gave them the edge? Or was feeding it to a gambling machine, making sure it never touched their skin, the correct play? I look forward to consuming all the alcohol-based speculation that inevitably follows a heap. And of course, our condolences to all the other contestants' corporations. "As for the rest of you watching, that's time. Last orders, please."

Giovanni looked at the holoscreen, expression pensive. "Well. I'd complain about the lack of action, but we got most of the data we wanted out of this. Good value for investment. We will likely revisit the following seasons." "But for now, we're done. Cut the feed Margaret, and please postpone my bout at the Circle of Sagacity.

Extraction posted:Extraction underway. WRECKING CREW complete.   Potentially an anticlimax for an End-of-Heap rumble, but maybe it imparted some lessons about engaging with side missions? If TOMB didn't do it, I doubt RISE will. Still, we've got a new crop coming in, and we'll see if they've absorbed any hoary wisdom from Wreckers of Olde.The next Heap of maps may inCYST on it, Rev.

 While the venture was a success, the brand logos were all over the winner's circle and Talcum's "uniform", the numbers were way lower than expected. Cutbacks would have to be made. It was time for performance reviews anyway. "So, Derek, your ratings have been way down all year." The nervous man at the other side of the desk fidgeted and reached for one of the tranquilizers in the candy dish on the desk, only to be rebuffed by a minor shock and an angry robotic voice proclaiming "Stars only, no has-beens!" Shay ignored the interruption, "So unless you can bring in some outside investments to finance your next project, well, the airlock's right there. "Of course, there is another job we're casting for in a few months, it's a... unique position. Don't worry, we'll provide you with special training for the role." Shay pulled a syrinx out of a desk drawer and fumbled around with it. "Tell you what, accept and we'll throw in a little signing bonus." Derek grabbed the syrinx and injected it the second it was offered. The convulsions started almost immediately, slowly changing from the warped mutagens derived from the shambles. The Galaxploitation medical staff grabbed the convulsing dancer and loaded him onto a stretcher. Galaxploitation had been having trouble breaking into (heh) the D-Breaker market and growing their own would save hundreds of luxe over hiring one. "Give my regards to Wrecking Crew if you survive the treatment."

 [ "What do you mean, 'they're revamping the whole system?'" Dr. Skipp Wiley Sr. protested, before issuing a belch. "I don't - *urp* - I don't see what that makes any difference as far as me continuing to represent Cosmiq's interests as the Wrecking Crew field account, though, Stu." "Oh - oh, c'mon. Don't tell me they're going with the severance package too..." "...Really?" Dr. Wiley blurted. "Okay. Fine. Say that's that case: what am I supposed to do with two hopped up warrior clones fresh out of the vats, can you tell me that Stu? They are champing at the bit." Dr. Wiley stared forlornly at the promotional artwork already generated for his third genetic entrant to the Wrecking Crew games, "Sh'Zam."  All the while, Dr. Wiley knew it was unlikely to ever become real now - at least... "So long as there's this horror - er - dragon craze going about, I think we have to ride that wave demographically, sure." Dr Skipp Wiley Sr. agreed to the voice on the other end of the Comms. "Junior could always handle that aspect. Now, well, we'll just have to see..." "No, you can't just rush good entertainment, that's correct," Dr. Wiley admitted. "Ah, well, I'm glad it was you laying me off in the end Stu. You're not a bad guy after all." Dr. Skipp Wiley Sr. jotted down the name 'STU' and underlined it several times on a pad of physical paper just so he wouldn't forget the name of the man who'd spurned him. "Welp - got to go pack up my things. Happy New Years to you too - bye!" "Shmuck." Dr. Wiley muttered, around the same time he clicked off on the Comms call.
