Here you are, John Smith only male IS pilot arriving at Hanger 04 of the IS Academy. The door doesn't look too intimidating, just large enough to fit several people in at the same time. You decide to enter and see what this support team from the States would take the form of. You look around, seeing just a sparse hanger without much in it. Walking more towards the center of the hanger you see a tall man turn around and greet you.

“Ah you must be John Smith. I am Alfred Walken, I'll be your head of the support team you have here. Must be hard to be going through being the only male IS pilot but we plan to make things easier by supporting you in whatever way we can.” he says with a rather calming tone.

“Nice to meet you Mr. Walken” you return.

“Walken is just fine.”

You didn't notice it immediately before but you know you have seen him somewhere. Now where could it have been.
[]Ignore it for now. Probably don't want to dig too deep.

[]I know you were there after the terrorist attack at your old high school.

“You know I think we have met before.”

“We have?” he asks with a tone you are unsure if it's worry or just confused.

“Yeah, after the attack, you”

“HUMH HUMH” he clears his throat purposely interrupting you. “That is silly, I was just assigned to this position after my superiors needed someone that has experience with the Japanese Government."

No, now you are sure. He was there, just after the terrorist attack at your old school. He was there amongst the military personnel discussing things. What things you are unsure of but it is obvious he is related to some form of Government Intelligence. Pushing that aside as the two of you walk towards two occupied mech bays.

He begins with “Well you see there is a bit of a problem you have. You will have to make a choice between the two Infinite Stratos' that were suppose to be on display that day of the attack. Here we have the Maeve and the Morgan. Which one would you like to hear about first?”

If I had to guess, the Maeve would be peak traditional IS technology, super maneuverable, armed with a mix of close, mid, and long range armament. The Morgan would probably be full of highly experimental tech, and I'd guess modeled off the Morgan from Ace Combat Zero, maybe with some other niceties.

I'm picking Maeve because Yukikaze

[]Maeve

Deciding to look at the one you are did not recognize you ask about the Maeve. “So this Maeve, not the one I used at the attack.”

“Well it was suppose to be on display side by side to the Morgan but was held up. The Maeve is a product from Fairy Arms. Under their Snowy Wind Development Project, they developed this IS as their 3rd generation prototype. The weapons are not anything special, all railgun derivative weapons co-developed with the US Navy. For instance the Fragarch is a collapsible small-bore high velocity railgun mainly used for sniping or for targets with heavy armor. The Gram is a bit more easy to use as it is just a rifle sized railgun for general use. Caladbolg is the backup melee weapon, nothing to write home about, just a huge metal composite claymore.” he reads from the spec sheet he has in his hand. “Now what makes this a 3rd gen IS is the fact that the special One-Off is the AI support system. The AI support, I'm told it can do all sorts of crazy things but in turn is also kind of well quirky itself.”

“Quirky?”

“Yes, quirky. It can range anywhere from obsessively protective of its partner to a weapon with a raging heart for destruction. Fairy Arms has been working on it and have stated that this generation of AIs is much more stable and should not get too extreme so long as you keep it in check. Performance wise the Maeve has a focus on high speed and high maneuverability. Armor and shields have suffer somewhat but not much thanks to a combination of armor composites and tech borrowed from the US Armies' Power Armor projects.”

It's NAME is Liberty Arms Custom. And it's our upgrade after we trash our current model by running around in the danger zone.
>>
Walken then switches tech sheets and points to the other mech bay, this one holds an IS you are much more familiar with. After all the Morgan was the one you used during the attack at your old school.

“Well the Morgan of Grunder Industries from their Project Pendragon offshoot. While not a true 3rd generation IS due to no One-Off ability, it instead makes it up with far higher conventional abilities. And as you have shown, that more than enough to fight off the more developed but untried technology that other nations and companies have used.”

“Nothing beats superior firepower.” you reply with confidence.

“That is what the people at Grunder Industries think. All the weapons for this IS are based on their other more conventional projects, mainly their aviation tech teams. So you know that the weapons are going to work and work well. The Zoisite is the laser rifle you used. Technically it is an advanced tactical laser rifle with multiple outputs and beam firing rates.” he says as he now reads off the Morgan tech sheet.

“Yup, hold the trigger if you want the beam to last longer or flick a switch to discharge the entire capacitor. Great for sweeping or precision shots.” you add.

(Woops 2/3)

>>33113130
Morgan's looking appealing, honestly.
>>
>>33113210
It's the more robust of the two, but maeve is definitely much sexier

“Yes and with this improved model you have an option to go for preset options to speed up selection. Bit hard to use according to the test pilot. Now as for the new weapons for the complete model. They were not in the bus slots as they were suppose to be on display. But we have the Hyperstene area denial missile. The missile is a bit slow but has great rage and the warhead is a polynitrogen base meaning it will the explosion will not only be powerful but last a while, hence the area denial feature. Supposedly great also great for air to ground attacks, so be mindful of collateral damage. The Caledfwlch is an energy projecting longsword to round out the melee option. There was a lance in-development but yet has to have prototypes. And to round out the equipment, they took one of their next-gen ECM pods called Morganite and was able to miniaturize it til it fit into the IS. Albeit at the cost of quite a few Bus slots.

“What about performance? It was sturdy but not exactly the fastest thing around.” you ask.

“Well this is the a new block so it took your data and improved on it. It has good all around performance easily beating out the Rafele IS from France but it may struggle with the more speedy 3rd gens. But with the ECM and the power plant for the IS being quite powerful and focused on the shields, meaning in a firefight the shield will take longer to be taken down and the enemy is less able to get hits. So quite resilient."

If it comes to choosing now, though, Morgan. We've already got practice with her, she has superior flexibility as >>33113266 pointed out, and she has better shielding.

[]Ask about company support to see if that can help the decision

“Hmm let's see Fairy Arms has been in the business of making IS' for quite a while now but they focus more on customized and personalized jobs meaning you'll have great customer support. And they have quite lot of experience taking IS grade weapons and equipment and then customizing them to your preferences. And since the Maeve has 8 bus slots you should be able to get the weapons and parts and customize them to your heart's content.” he says in a somewhat droning manner.

“And Grunder Industries? They had an intern program at the school if you took their High School to College fast track program.” you ask.

“Well Grunder being a Defense Contractor with a large share of it's projects being non-IS in nature means you won't be able to get that much experienced support for the IS bits. But they will be able to more than make it up with manpower, resources for repair and weapons. And this might be good since the power plant and ECM eat up quite a bit of bus slots meaning you will only have 2 to use.”

Now that you heard of the company support you will choose:

Oh and if you guys are wondering bus slots just means a weapon+ammo system or 1 additional equipment slot. So you could have an missile system+ammo or an upgrade. So you can stack up on all guns or upgrades if you want. And the ECM works on the IS sensors meaning they will have to rely far more on their eyes and not their sensors. So no fancy IS super sensors for you.

[]Maeve

“Hmm while the Morgan is a good fit for me it didn't quite have the kind of performance I want. Sure it helped I had quite a bit of shields and the ECM sounds good but the best way to avoid damage is never to get hit so I'll choose the Maeve. After all an IS is a lot like a plane fight, maneuvering and thrust is key.” you decide on.

“Hmm Grunder Industries will be disappointed since this was their first foray into IS tech-development. I'll contact Fairy Arms then and bring their team here.” Walken responds and he makes a call presumably to the Fairy Arms.

“Shame I can't get a mixture of both.” you say bemused with yourself.

“Well there is that DARPA project stationed at Hawaii but that is neither here nor there. Maybe if you really make a name for yourself you could get the parts from different companies.” Walken adds to help pass the time. After a bit of time, a group of people enter the hanger lead by a lady in a lab coat and approach you.

“Ah yes hello John Smith. I am Edith Foss of Fairy Arms Research and Development division. I hope we can get along.” she says as takes a long and good look at you.

“Likewise, I hope your IS is as good as it sounds on paper.” you respond.

“Oh don't worry, we are here to make sure of that. The machine itself will respond and act just as like it says, but the real key is the her.” Ms Foss says.

“Her? Are you talking about the AI?” you ask.

“Well yes. She is the key to what makes the Maeve a true 3rd generation IS and a winner versus all the other countries 3rd gen. Sure right now she is a bit rough around the edges but she will be your partner and support you in ways that will make you win the Mondo Gross as many times as that Brunhilde. But she will take time to properly set up and need a name you give to her. We will need to keep those empty bus slots first so that she can configure herself int he best way to support you.” she says with utmost confidence. “For now we will take your data and input into the Maeve. We will call you if we need you here.”

“And here you go John.” Walken says as he hands you several large and thick tomes. “Make sure to read them all as they include the legal parts of using a personal IS and the instruction manual for the Maeve."

And with that you walk back to your dorms with the books in tow. After knocking on your own room of all places, you don't hear a response. “Guess Shinonono-san isn't here, guess I'll get a head start on reading the manual.” you say to yourself. Sitting down at your desk, you start with the fun stuff, the guns. Hmm let's see the Fragarch is a collapsing railgun able to fire in both extended and collapsed form but you get much more performance out of the extended form. And before you notice you have Shinonono-san poking you.

“Uh what?!”

“You were asleep when I got here.” Shinonono-san responds with reservation.

[]I fell asleep? Guess I am more tired than I thought I was.
[]How long was I asleep? It should be pretty late now.

[]I fell asleep? Guess I am more tired than I thought I was.

“I was asleep? Guess I really need more sleep.” you respond still in a light haze.

“You should take more care of your body. I know it's hard to be moved around and be at other people's convenience. It really wears on you til you either give in or push through with a goal.” Shinonono-san responds.

“Speaking from experience I take it?” you ask.

“Well a bit. I know what it is like to be politically inconvenient.” she says in a somewhat deflated tone.

Shit. You remember that the IS creator goes by the name Tabane Shinonono. Must be a relative or sister or something. To think this girl through no fault of her own gets thrown into the political meat grinder, no wonder she is so very defensive. You know what, this pisses you off, at least YOU messed things up by your own actions but she didn't. She didn't ask for this. This means only one thing. ACTION.

“You know what Shinonono-san, this injustice will not be unanswered. We political misfits should stick together.” you say with fire. “That must be the reason we are in the same dorm, keep us where it is easy to keep track of us. ”

“I guess that's true.” she responds in that deflated tone.

“Have you eaten dinner yet?” you ask.

“No, I just got back from Kendo practice.”

“Good. Let's go grab dinner and plan how we will mess up those politicians and their shitty plans.” you say as you get up and get ready to head to the cafeteria. “Also you should join my study group, would give a good cover story in case you are still worried about what people think.”

“Are you sure?” she asks.

“Yes, come on. I'm feeling rather hungry.” you respond. And with your decision the both of you head out to the cafeteria for dinner. Now you wonder how you should spend the rest of the week til the match:

>>33116142
I agree with this sentiment.
>>33116160
Learning a language takes some time. Missing a week of hard study, but still almost constantly practicing it won't set us too far back. Losing to the blonde will make us lose face, and then there is the whole slave thing. I'd much rather flunk one test, if it comes to that, than end up an unpaid buttler who lost a fight because he didn't figure out what his robot can do.
>>
>>33116160
given our Japanese is functional enough that we are conversant and competent outside of technical shit I don't think that will be an issue just yet.
>>
>>33116160

One other thing - if we do not impress, we don't get special treatment.

Remember what Walken said. IF we really make a name for ourselves, we could get parts from different companies - something that right now, we have no hope of doing.

We really, really, REALLY could use that sort of support if we want to be damn good, and that far outweighs some Japanese test that we can always work to remedy a bad score on.

[]Focus only on your manuals that you have

Opting to focus on what you know best, you really crackdown on the Maeve instruction manual. Sure your focus means you might have problems helping other students with IS studies and your Japanese will now progress a bit slower for now. You try and cover this up from Ms Yamada and Ms Orimura by not talking too much or asking questions.

You pick up on some really neat stuff that should be possible with the Maeve though. Like with the way the inertial control field and AG engines means you with the right settings could could turn in your own shadow or buffer your weapon's recoil by spiking the inertial field when you fire. Strangely enough Houki helped you quite a bit with Japanese homework and you helped her with math homework. Guess she really took to heart about sticking together. Shame you only got a day to study with Honne and the other girls though, guess this time schedules didn't line up, maybe next time. As the day of the duel approaches tension mount in the classroom. You can't just help feel that smug British smile behind you.

MONDAY. The day of the duel is finally here. After class you head to the stadium, Houki wishes you good luck and departs for the seats. You head to the male changing room, doesn't look to different so you guess they didn't really renovate here sans the sign but it really is empty. You change into this really bizarre two piece. But it at least had the US flag on both the top and bottom. Heading up to the launching area you see Walken and a bit of the support staff there.

“Ah John, there you are, nervous?” Walken asks.

“Little bit but nothing I haven't done before.” you say.

“Nothing wrong with a bit of nervousness, last time you didn't have a stadium full of people watching.”

Well shit you forgot about that bit. “Hehehe, now that you mention it, that does make it sound a whole lot worse.” you left off a nervous laugh.

“Ah don't worry about it at all. You machine and she will be there for you.” you hear Ms Foss announce over the launching pad's intercoms.

You look over and see her in the control room above you. And then you see it, Maeve on a stand ready for battle rise up from a platform from below you.

“One thing. What is the name you will give your AI?” Ms Foss asks.

Yeah good point, I guess the names alone would not be enough for most of you to tell the difference.

Ada would be able to really focused on your abilities and how to enhance them.
Yukikaze has a knack for quick manuevers and snapshots not humanly possible.
Reinforce would be able to support you offensive and defense to great extends giving you firing solutions you would not think of.
