Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

Chapter 83 - Back To It

"Joe," Snow White started as she stepped into the Commander's office, the rest of Pioneer and Rapi following shortly behind her. "We're all here, as instructed."
It had been a few days since Joe's talks with Cinderella, Anis, and Rapi. A few days in which the...

Chapter 82 - To Be Better

Joe sat quietly with Anis for a time. He focused on just making sure she understood that she wasn't alone, over talking and trying to impress anything upon her yet. After a long while, she had gathered herself enough to unfurl from her balled-up state, letting...

Joe allowed the hug to persist for a time. However, eventually, he had to pat the blonde on the back a few times to signpost to her that it was time to pull away. "Alright, alright, we're good, we're good. Come on, we gotta talk about a few other things."...
I have made it clear innumerable times that I not only do not appreciate you going out of your way to attempt kissing my ass, I actively abhor it. The only reason I do not actively delete your ass-kissing posts myself is because I lack the means to do so here on QQ. I did not ask you to defend...
He internally worked himself up about how Rapi and Anis were both abusing him over the course of the story, when they did no such thing. That is what he was referring to, the fact that he was ultimately making excuses to (metaphorically) cry about how hard he has it and how he's all alone...
Joe not only received exactly what he deserved from Cinderella, but he got off light considering the retelling of Joe's perspective failed to actually convey just how much of a pathetic little simpering worm cloying for the barest scrap of positive attention she can receive Rapi has become...

Chapter 80 - Revealing the Rot

Taking a deep, bracing breath, Joe resolved to reveal everything to Cinderella, to finally let it all out. To let the work begin.
So, he started. "You've been told about everything that's happened to me, since I woke up in the Ark, right?"
"No,"...

The following morning, Joe awoke to a message from Syuen, denoting that she was deeply pleased with the results of the operation, and the sheer punctuality of it. She'd not been expecting to receive the Harmony Cube so quickly, evidently, and made a...

Rapi had, the very instant she'd recovered, launched herself at the Lord-class and kicked it off of Sunny and Joe as hard as she could. The whole thing was knocked clean off the MP Nikke, and crashed on its side bonelessly. While Rapi had...

Rocketeer was set up on the tallest roof of the Lost Sector, ready and able to provide support for Rifleman as they swept the area's streets and made their way to likely locations that might house the Harmony Cube.
On their way up, and on their way down, the...

Boots hitting grassy earth, Joe took several steps forward and away from the winding down Vertical Take-Off and Landing vehicle that had ferried the squad to the Oregon Lost Sector. Sunny, Cammie, Mia, Mica, Belorta, and Rapi all followed shortly behind...

Chapter 75 - Never Interrupt Your Enemy…

By whatever providence had seen fit to show mercy upon him, Joe was granted a measure of peace and quiet, despite the Outpost's mounting population of assorted weirdos and wack jobs.
Pioneer, thankfully, hadn't bum rushed him, and were, in fact...

After she calmed down, Joe said his good-nights to Rapi and headed to his room to let her see herself out. The following day, the man stirred from sleep.
Said sleep had done little to rejuvenate him in the wake of recent events.
He kept his eyes shut...

Some time later, Joe was alone in his sparsely-decorated office, elbows set on his desk and face buried in his hands.
