Well, a lot happened, but the most noteworthy might be the release of Becca's punishment:And once again being busy IRL has dropped me with about 40 ish unread pages that I'm too occupied to give the proper time.

If you didn't play chapter 2, 80% of it is spoilers, 10% memes, 5% polls and patreonesque stuff, and 5% banter.And once again being busy IRL has dropped me with about 40 ish unread pages that I'm too occupied with other stuff with to give the proper time to read through.
It's already been a while since I played Heavy Five. I enjoyed it.
The amount of choices was a bit overwhelming at times (even while I was pursuing 3 different paths) and the outcome not always obvious to me at first:
It's on my watch list and I'm looking forward to how the story will unfold...
On top of that Nottravis seems to be a genuinely nice person: kind, smart, creative and with a good sense of humour... uhm... in before getting banned for violating forum rule 3.
Thanks for volunteering.

Having almost completely ignored this thread so far I wanted to ask if someone could give me a synopsis of the last... ~250 pages - preferably in less than 10 posts.
Thanks for volunteering.

Alright, thanks for that. Huitieme's joke almost made me spill my drink.I suggest at least checking the previous page.
You don't always get to choose... sometimes you get lingerie show by default.Serves MC right. Brave MC's choose spacewalking over lingerie show!

Glad you enjoyed itIt's already been a while since I played your game. I enjoyed it.

However, one of my favourite games, Sanguine Rose, is also a beast when it comes to choices - so I'd say you are in good company here.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Next free chapter should be in a couple of weeks as best guess.

Yup... I fully expect to fail that each and every time.
Why? For refusing to play silly little mind games?Serves MC right.

Fine, I take it back (in one specific scenario). I thought you need to complain about the crew to get into this situation, but it seems declining the boxing offer alone is enough.
On the other hand, MC is not part of the flight crew, so Chris making a decision not to give MC a choice in the matter is perfectly justified. She is the commanding officer in that situation.
So, yes, saying it serves him right is perhaps too strong in this circumstance, but he doesn't exactly deserve to be given a choice either. It's not his to make.
You're right, she's commanding officer and she should be the one making a decision. She might take the imput from MC (especially if it's something that he specializes in) but in the end it should always be her decision. MC should never be given a choice of what to do...

She has command on the Vanguard, cause it's, you know, her ship and all. Not on Ophion. That's MC's mission.

Re: the choice she gives the MC,
Considering that she is expecting temps of around 50° C (122° F) if he's willing to use the only vacuum suit available to walk out and close the airbrake door their chances of making it are greatly multiplied. If he dies during the excursion and they make it down he'll probably get a posthumous medal or something. If he's too chicken-shit to try it, then fine, she'll try not to pass out, although at those temps her reaction times will be slowed.
I've trained at White Sands where it was 126° F (52.2° C) in the shade and I can assure you, the heat makes you stupid. We had a few guys pass out and one that washed out completely - heat stroke.
edited: because I can good talk, no
Right, I was talking about that situation. Now that they are on Ophion he should be in charge. Whether or not she'll follow his orders is another question...
Except that he never space walked before... might not even had any training at doing it. The only reason they even consider sending him out is because he is the only one who fit the only suit they have. The issue wasn't if he could close the doors (as an engineer he should be able to do it relatively easy), but whether he can even reach the doors to close them.

True, although I did find that a bit strange. Just as in the US Navy and US Marine Corps you go have swimming as part of your boot camp, I would have assumed the same from this Navy. I.e. I would assume that they actually trained for spacewalks (or at least something as basic as using magnetic boots in microgravity) as part of their basic training / boot camp.
Since I don't have the entire lore of the H5 universe at hand I can't say whether that is the case or not. Even if it weren't the case, he had Annie to walk him through it, and generally speaking, when you give a grunt a pair of sticky boots and tell him "walk on the outside of the ship to save the pretty girls (and yourself) from burning up," that grunt will figure it out. Especially if there's a chance of some kind of hero's reward waiting at the end.
