Alright, PR upgrade status in 3, 2, 1...

[@Ponn] Gemini wanted to take out both behemoths, but they failed to take out even one. Maybe the doctor would have seen fit to demote Ashley, but she's working overtime right now so, you know, Ashley seems to be safe. Well, her rank is safe anyway. Perhaps fortune will smile upon her tommorow.

[@Majoraa] Finn went AWOL. That's not really something anyone smiles on, so his PR is going to drop down to bronze and, well, he's not going to count as a Gemini agent anymore. But I'll update that later. Like clockwork, perhaps. 

[@The World] Billy was impressed with Marrie's [s]stupidity[/s] bravery, and that she had enough grit to stay on her mission even as Crazy Train took to the skies. Even Raphael couldn't stay mad and made sure to sing her praises. This has caused Marrie's work to be valued higher within the Freelance community, and so she has attained a gold ranked PR. Hopefully she won't fog it all up later.

[@Nakushita] It's very likely that things would have ended differently without Himiko's sacrifice. But when the chips were down, she did what had to be done. The Freelancers will remember the time she finally broke even for a long time, but the dead cannot earn a wage. You may give your new character a silver PR as part of a Gemini recruitment program if you wish. 

[@TaintedMushroom] Asher was bold at the start of the operation, but when the chips were down, the flame of ambition went out. But it's criminal that he's still at bronze, so let's get his PR up to silver. Raphael was impressed with him certainly. 

[@Vertigo]Ciri can't catch a break. While she spends far too much time complaining about her proximity to other enemies, she did go toe to toe with Regina and didn't burn up totally. Maverick's mission was also completed, and she got a promotion. Ciri's potential is starting to register in everyone's minds. 

[@Kero] Noah deserves a trophy for somehow managing to try harder than Marrie. She used a bit too much mana in the first leg of the operation, but even being just on fumes, she attempted to ride Crazy Train through the clouds while a dragon and angry rocket lady followed her. She's earned her keep, and Raphael's glowing review of her abilities has earned her a silver PR.

And lastly...

[h1]Make Some Friends You Losers![/h1]

You can't complain about the difficulty of the operation if you're going to go into it under equipped! [u]A Backup is a free melody that you can use at any time[/u]. It might not seem like a lot, but having a melody in your pocket that can have notes you normally can't command is a really good thing. And you know what else? [u]Everyone who has one may upgrade to silver, or make a new one that is silver[/u]. Discuss things OOC. It can be fun to get a powerup from another player or an NPC and then explain how you got it later. Your next operation has some truly sadistic opposition coming your way, so I hope you take me seriously.

Also I think only 2-3 of you have finished your upgrades, so make sure those come through too.
