Panic at the Time Loop
Thy guy has some interesting choices for male parent roles, doesn't he?
Anyway..a new snippet awaits!

"Did you lose a bet, Sagara?"
Sosuke looked over to Mao, expression as serious as usual, despite what he was wearing. "Not at all. Chidori-san has complained about how the rise of crime in her district is potentially increasing her risk of injury from random attack and the like. Considering the local police force is already struggling to overcome the matter, and Mithril woudl not publicly acknowledge such issues without drawing attention to Chidori-san, I've decided to attend to the matter personally."
"And the suit?" She found herself twitching as her subordinate pulled a notepad from one of the slots on his belt and rifling through the pages.
"My research indicates that the criminal element is incredibly superstitious, and prone to psychological intimidation. The R&D department allowed me to try on this experimental micro-kevlar body suit, and I decided that it would be useful in corralling the criminal element before it could become a serious threat." He said calmly, taking a moment to adjust the mask even as Weber made his way into the briefing room.
And stared.
"...Sosuke, why the hell are you dressed like Batman?"
"Who?"
"You know..Batman. Masked detective that fights crime."
Sagara tilted his head to the side. "Really? I don't recall any mention of such vigilante movements in any of the prefectures. Perhaps my search was not thorough enough..."
Now it was Mao's turn to loon confused. "He's a fictional character."
"Then how can I look like him?"
"Because you're wearing a big black rubber suit!"
"It's not rubber. It's a micro-kevlar b-"
"I can see your nipples!"
"...that was at the Captain's insistence, for some reason. At least I have the cape, though it seemed there was some sort of anomaly in the back of the suit the Captain couldn't take her eyes off of."
There was a synchronized face-palming from his comrades, leaving Sosuke to pull a pen from his utility belt. "Please explain this 'Batman' to me. Perhaps I can get some useful referential tips before I attempt my first patrol."

Panic at the Time Loop
Maybe in awhile. But for now, I have something that another loop scene that links to one of those posts. :evil2:
-----
Sosuke had only been paying partial attention to Kurtz as he went on about one of his 'exploits' while he'd been out on the town the other night, just calmly noshing away on his evening meal while they all sat in the mess hall.
Mao wasn't so patient, letting out a sigh of disgust and leveling a glare at the sniper and cut him off mid sentence with her thoughts. "Honestly, Weber, do we need to hear about this crap? Can't you act like Sosuke, just once, and shut up?" this earned a wide array of guffaws and snickers from the rest of the table.
Expression looking like some sort of ruffled bird of prey, Weber decided to let out a derisive snort and pointed over to the silent soldier. "Oh yeah? It's not like Sosuke's ever gotten any anyway. If he did, we'd never hear the end of it."
"Just because you don't have standards dosen't mean he'd act anything like you!"
"Of course, Mao-san. Afterall, I've already engaged in intercourse."
The entire mess hall went quiet, all eyes focused on the teen who was just casually starting to eat again as if he hadn't said something that rocked the very foundation of their ship. Mao didn't even realize she'd dropped her fork as she just gaped. "Y-You're not a virgin?" her voice was a whisper, as if mentioning this would summon the Captain in time to hear about this.
"No ma'am."
"But...condoms.." Kurtz was struggling for words, which was all he could think of to counter the comment, quietly hoping Sosuke was just kidding about having shattered his world view.
"I never stated water containment was their only function. I merely stated that they could be used to transport what when without a proper canteen." With that explained, he set his fork down and went to put away his plate.
The rest of the loop would be spent around 1 question: Who popped Sosuke Sagara's cherry?
*_*_*
On deck of a certain boat, a certain woman let out a loud sneeze, rubbing her nose and snorting faintly. Was some fucker talking about her? Or maybe the booty shorts were giving her a cold.

Panic at the Time Loop
Even if a Whispered it doesn't remembers a loop, it wouldn't remain a slowly increasing "feeling" that something its very wrong....like an echo of deja-vu....., something that would drive Leonard or other Whispered to pull some kind of shit conducing to the first Merged Loop, or such?
Add, that it would be hilarious to see Kyoko, Mizuki, Ren or Miss Eri jumping Sosuke during one of the next loops, being the first ones that also wake up to the Loops, not being Whispered. For not talk of Kurtz or Mao....unlike Sosuke, i can see those two going a bit crazier as they are dealing with their first Loops with their memories of the past ones....

Holyknight, the idea with Leonard is brilliant! and it makes quite abit of sense, considering they are partly plugged into the Yggrassil, and he only makes the system crash even worse.
Not sure how I'm going to do that one, but until then, I bring you a montage of a hobby Sasuke loves as much as fishing.

Sosuke didn't stop himself from getting up when Gauron had grabbed Kaname, dragging her out into the walkway of the airplane. "Stop right there."
Everyone stopped to looked back at the student that was marching towards them, Kaname's eyes alight with confusion and hope.
Oddly, Gauron had the same look. "Is that really you, Kashim?" That lapse in concentration was all Kaname needed to stomp on the terrorists boot, waiting for the grunt of pain before squirming out of his grip...in time for Sosuke to jab a tazer into Gauron's arm and set the charge to 'Bear'. He shook for several seconds before hitting the ground like a lead weight.
"..h-how did you do that? And who is this guy?"
"That's classified."
---------
This time wasn't so subtle.
*WHAM*
Everyone looked at the man that'd just been sitting in his seat, struck by the young boy that was turning to pull out an obviously fake badge. "I'm with the Japanese government as an air marshal. This man is a terrorist."
"They don't have air marshals!"
"That you know of."
"That badge is made of cardboard."
"Very astute of you. Next random outburst please."
"Did you really have to use a brick?"
".....yes. Yes I did. I shall demonstrate again."
*WHAM*
---------
"Is that really you, Kashin?"
"So you can see through my disguise?"
"...it's a mustache. That's no disguise!"
"Thank you. I will make a note of that."
*WHAM*
---------
"I got a message for ya. Kashim sends his regards."
Levy pulled the trigger and watched Gauron's head nearly be taken off his shoulders, calmly holding up a cardboard badge. "Air marshal. Got a problem with it?"
"Good." She snorted at the silence and sat back down. Honestly, why'd Sosuke actually pay her to do that? And where was that fucker anyway?
*-*-*
"Hmm..i've just about got it." Sosuke muttered under his breath, barely even moving for the automated systems on the vastly improved Arbalest to take several shots into the water, net reaching out to scoop up the fish.
Satisfied with the results, the Arbalest disappeared back into whence he summoned it. He promised Levy a full course dinner, as well as pay, for her services, and she complained about tasting worm.
Yes. This was much more efficient.

Leonard knows that the Whispered are in their own private loop, and would probably consider all strangeness from the other loops to be part of that. His strategy to cripple Mithril in book 7 centered around his knowing, due to it happening in previous iterations, the exact time of a massive solar flare that would knock out global communications for a brief window of time.
Note that this was a natural phenomena that would have happened no matter what anyone on Earth did, so the butterfly effect of anything done by a Whispered or Looper earlier on would not impact it. Maybe that's why it stuck in his head.
Also, how would Sousuke get the Arbalest in that loop? He wasn't assigned to use the Arbalest until after the revelation that Gauron had an AS with a Lambda Driver during the hostage rescue and they needed somebody to use the only AS they had that could counter it, and they then discovered that it imprinted on Sousuke and refused to work for anyone else.
At the time Sousuke piloted it, the Arbalest was unfinished due to the project chief having committed suicide two months before, and Mithril was only able to find a Whispered with Lambda Driver knowledge to replace him shortly before Sousuke started going to Jindai (the girl he rescues in the prologue). They wouldn't have let an untested, incomplete prototype be used if they didn't have no other choice.
Sousuke could do other things to hinder his enemies in the loops if he tries to take advantage of other things revealed late in the story. The most telling is that Mithril was founded and bankrolled by Amalgam, when the last surviving member of the original council (Lord Mallory, AKA Mr Mercury, father of Sir Mallory, head of Mithril R&D) realized that the checks that prevented him from abusing his power also prevented him from stopping the less virtuous successors of the original council members from abusing theirs.

Besides, Sagara was already storing things in a subspace pocket before the loops even started. The man was literally pulling out several times his own body weight in explosives and firearms.
It may have been Fummofu, but that's good enough for me. Took afew loops of actual effort, but he is able to store stuff that big with abit of effort.
Why? Because I'm saucy like that, and haven't finished all the scenes I wanted for THAT particular training montage.
