Mod message: Hi! this blog is ran by @balteus which is an oddly fitting url all things considered. Pater is my favorite AC6 character and the influx of ac6 RP accounts made me want to make one as well. This is my first time running a RP blog however, so forgive the mistakes i might make

I might add things here later on. not sure what I should tbh. But in the meantime, please send me asks, DMs, or comment. NSFW is allowed. I will do my best to stay in-character.

In case it is needed, i will tag triggers with #trigger, no additional cw tw or abbreviation

[vviiipater]

Well done, pater. Don't tell her I said this, but maybe you should be V.VII instead..!

- signed, V.II Snail.

Such high praise is something I never thought I'd receive from Commander Snail - ! What an honor, Sir. That said, V.VII's workload is still an extremely important part of Vespers' structure, and as such, so long as it is useful to Arquebus' goals, I shall not actively seek to usurp her.

[vviiipater]

why do you have babies as ur emblem you breathe through your LUNGS not through BABIES

Dear future Cadet,

Each Vesper's emblem is an expression of themselves as persons. As employees/contractors of Arquebus Ltd., you too will be allowed to discover more about yourself as you pilot your AC and work to increase your own as well as Arquebus' profit. Everything - from your callsign, to your emblem, to your AC's customization, is entirely up to you. As such, these things can get deeply personal, and I myself worked for a long while until mine felt just right. What it says about me exactly is, I feel, a privilege I lend to the people close to me and those under my command. Join Arquebus Ltd., and you might be part of this experience too

[merc-verdant]

Hm. Seems our local pissants may have actually been onto something about ALLMIND futzing with the Arena data. Mine won’t update with everyone’s new loadouts (which is a shame, because I really looked forward to testing my mettle against them)

[vviiipater]

Arquebus offers our own private database of pilot information sourced and trained from recorded combat information that the PCA itself uses for simulation! Consider applying today and I guarantee that hard work and our help your skills will skyrocket - no meddling Rubiconian AI needed.

[vviiipater]

This is the 3rd time this month a pilot caught in... immodest activities within their AC, has revealed themselves by accidentally broadcasting through their COM device. Cadets, do take care to keep your mechs clean and practice safe radio management. This kind of penalty paperwork is a pain to deal with.

[vviiipater]

It has been brought to our attention that due to a "meme" on site, many newbie Cadets have been boarding their ACs inebriated before sortieing on missions against the RLF, playing music from an Old Earth 21st century indie game, going, and I quote, "Piloting my AC right after a dose / Hey that Rubiconian is shaped like a corpse"

Now, while these incidents do cause a larger number of enemy casualties, I will remind all Cadets, that increase in damages to your own AC is also dramatically heightened. Damages that exceed profit will be deducted from your pay or result in time added to your binding contract.

Thank you for reading this PSA. V.VIII Pater, out

Dear Cadets,

In the interest of spreading the word on our Arquebus Internship Program (AIP) - completed with funding during your stay and training*, I've been tasked with writing our recruitment plan and program down, or rather, what can you be expected to do as a contractor or employee of Arquebus?

Well, for one, we've access to top tier newest experimental** augmentation technology to mold you into the finest pilots this side of Andromeda! The so called corporate ladder is all but a myth in our company, the Vespers and our respective squadrons treat each other as one big family. You can expect unlimited PTO (provided you send a request to V.II Snail's office in proper time), covered healthcare costs**, and, with hard work and skill, excellent employment opportunities with us or our subsidiaries.

In addition, our current main base of operations, Rubicon 3, is full of opportunity! The birthplace of Coral, the substance that kickstarted and in some ways continues to run all our technological advancements, though now barren because of the Fires, continues to be an excellent starting ground. Arquebus' current mission is the extermination of the terrorist faction RLF that has cruelly attacked many-a outworld pilot, and they are still profiteering off of the war efforts 50 years ago, stealing and pillaging our bases on the ground without rhyme or reason. Luckily for you, the corporations have been getting them under control, but we still need YOUR help to finish the job. An excellent start to cut your teeth on!

So what are you waiting for? Apply for the Arquebus Internship Program today! The Vespers eagerly await you.

*for further information read our Pilot License Agreement (PLA) and Terms Of Employment (TOE). You may be charged for the costs of training for which you will reimburse Arquebus Ltd. with contracted service for a set period of time depending on your success. Termination of this contract will be prosecuted by the PCA courts.

**for further information read our Pilot License Agreement (PLA) and Terms Of Employment (TOE). Surgery and treatment outcome is considered a personal risk and reimbursement for possible damages is not guaranteed.

V.VII, Ashmead to your cockpit; would you rather record a video of yourself dancing in a skimpy bikini while Snail watches, or fight Freud to the death

What the hell kind of question is this!? Where do you get off, asking people things like this!? I would rather die fighting Freud--!

[vviiipater]

Inquiring Cadet, this is hardly a proper choice. For one, rumors are that the former is already a common practice within the re-education facility.

Not that I should know, of course.

[nemesis-poison-apples]

Does anyone else just feel the urge to fuck with snail..., to be fair he's kinda asking for it with how rude he is to us independent mercenaries

[vviiipater]

Quite an interesting proposition recruit! While I shall keep my personal thoughts on this to myself, I trust you are aware this kind of language is quite inappropriate to use about the Arquebus SIC? I shall let it pass this time, as it is all in good humor, but, make sure to share your... inclinations... somewhere more secure. You never know who's listening!

- V. VIII Pater, signing out
