Seems like the vast majority has voted for accepting all of the original four, Churchland, and extending both S and B-Company. (Only one anon each voted for no extensions and not picking L-Company respectively), with the Rank Reward choice being universally the Magician's Dust. Voting closed.
Due to very obvious reasons (Christmas Party with family is happening in the next 30ish minutes for me and might last a bit), the update's gonna take a bit to come out. But I'll give you this short little teaser to help fill in that void. This isn't the update proper, just something cute. I'll tell you when the update proper is gonna be posted
(Also the department names that one anon suggested make me bust a stitch, for good and ill)
-------------------------------------------------
After you contact Mr. Churchland for his sponsorship, a short message blips up on your screen. S-4M's face appears shortly after with a very default-looking loading screen icon hovering on his face.
"No malicious files, anomalous or mundane, detected! It is safe to open!" You raise an eyebrow. He gets the hint and explains further. "Oh, just some new software I got from that Rank Reward last shift. Don't mind me."
You open up the message.
VELVETMASTER: I understand why you asked for a sponsorship. Troubles must be brewing down there. Or you missed me, either or.
VELVETMASTER: Both are understandable. It is a shame I'm busy with other matters.
VELVETMASTER: But, if nothing else, I can spread a bit of joy to you and your facility. A delivery will arrive in 3...
VELVETMASTER: 2. 1.
C-0RA instantly captures a small bag falling from the many pipes that jut from the ceiling above you. "SSiRR, I got iT!" She 'coughs'. "Am I FoRGetTing SomEthIng? KinDa huNgry for ChiPs. ANYWAYS!" She hands the bag over to you.
You open up the bag. Inside is a bunch of hard candies that every person over the age of 60 magically seem to have.
[HOPELESS WRECK] I SWEAR, OUR GRAMPS ALWAYS FUCKING HAD THEM. WHO GIVES THEM THE CANDY?
[BOUND BY DUTY] Their shelf life is indefinite, as long as not exposed to moisture. One of the only good things in the early MRE packs.
Though, you notice that the bag is a bit heavier than you expect a buncha candies to be. Then you notice a bag handle poking up from the mass of cheap sugar. You pull it out to reveal a <span class="mu-g">god damn Trauma Kit.</span> A handwritten note written in cursive is attached to it. The pensmenship is remarkably neat and tidy.
"No rules said I couldn't give a gift, are there? You're still getting another one lady, no worries."
"Consider it an early holiday present for you. You better not be naughty, alright? Or else I'll come looking for some cookies and milk from you!"
"From a friend, Churchland."
>+1 Trauma Kit
>+20 pieces of Hard Candy (They're just regular hard candies. Comes in a variety of flavors.)
...You set them aside with a smile as you look at the other sponsorships, weighing the pros and cons.
