Welcome back, buccaneers of the Belt, to the thirty-ninth installment of Mecha Space Pirate Quest. As always, I'm Wong, and you are Admiral Roarke Susan Starwind of the Iron Kestrels, a force you are about to discover has grown somewhat larger from your deeds of heroic brigandry. You're still the pilot of the Knuckle Kaiser, codenamed Black Ogre by the UJCIDF and Martian Holy Militia.

Last time, there were some big revelations. You believe you understand why Rashad didn't haggle with you, now that Fatima's father has 'mysteriously' tumbled off a balcony and made the Commodore the de-facto biggest landowner on Mars. At least you have plenty of training to do, to vent your pent-up aggression, and a pair of taser-knuckled nanofiber gauntlets to pummel Rashad's face with the next time you see him. Which will be soon, because your first instinct continued to be 'crash his wedding while riding on the Tarrasque and carry Fatima off again'.

Normal people would confine these thoughts to fantasy, do things like 'consider the odds' and 'practicing acceptance", and move on. You are not a normal person, however. You are a space pirate.

The Undefeated wasn't kidding when he said your training was going to get more intense. At the end of the day, you're lucky if you can move, and Karen spends most of each evening bandaging your wounds or treating your sore muscles.

When you aren't training, you have your PC on, and are in constant communication with Miles and Richard following the repairs to your ships and mecha.

Miles, in particular, receives a lot of calls from you. While she's an ace, or at least good enough to roll in your squad back when the Kestrels were just a crew, her real specialty is the sort of work you have her doing now. Finding things out and planning the "how" of a mission. Which is why, as you're hiking deep out into the forest with the Undefeated for some reason he hasn't explained yet, you're talking to her over your PC.

"Ay Dude." She's a little drunk. Which isn't all that surprising, given you're dealing with Miles on what she views as a sort of extended shore-leave at a resort colony. You can hear the sound of waves in the background, so she's probably at the beach, "I took a look, most of this shit's public knowledge anyway. I barely even had to spend anything. So..."

Nice to see Miles again, its been a while

>>48151696
I'd call it a Nu-ku since it's a Nu-Zaku.

Anywho, came up with some extra ideas for when the crashing comes. We should likely bring her 'knights' with us, including Moe to help ensure the safety of her and her family. chances are the bastard may use them as a meat shield. We may have to force his hand as well by either provoking him or getting him to spill his beans. While women may get the shaft, I am pretty sure taking part in the murder of your father law is a major no no for them.

Also, I maaaaay have gotten a little crazy and made a upgraded version of the Pawn, the Cardinal and Rook's base as it were. One weapons pack may be punching and throwing a 20 kill Rock. I currently regret nothing.

>>48151913
Since islam is big on honor we challenge him to a duel for Fatima's hand, and if we get lucky we'll kill him in the fight and not have to worry about it
>>
>>48151950
Rather not kill him outright. A duel with him will likely be fixed and it really doesn't solve anything. The goal shouldn't be fighting for her honor, but rather, making it so their is no honor for being with him. She will very likely stick to him to keep the family name strong and protect her family. Fighting for her? That does nothing.

We need to allevate her worry, but also prove that his actions are ones that have no interest in her or her family. If we can catch him right, he loses everything and we don't even need to kill him. Fatima would be free, and will be able to decide what she wants.

"New Medina, it's a big city on Mars, it's where their Calipp...Claffif? Where their Caliph lives. It's, uh, a big religious site and sort of a neutral ground for all the big Martian families and corporation heads. The thing is, they're holding the wedding outside the city itself. Now, that's good news, because it means less collateral damage and I know you care about that shit, but it doesn't stay good. Mars has a problem with raiders, there's a lot more room to run and hide from the law on a planet than there is on a colony. So they have sensor towers scattered around the wastelands to get advanced warning if a raider band comes close, so they can call for the Holy Militia. There are three of them in range of the wedding site, so if we come down on top of them they're going to know about it. If that happens, we're up against a planetary-scale military, and on top of that they've been ramping up their anti-ship defenses. If we just gate in and launch mecha, even if you succeed you won't have a ship to come back to. That ignores the problems of getting back into space in even a flying mech like the Kaiser."

"That doesn't sound promising." You opine, as calmly as possible.

"No, but I've had an idea or two. We can't think of this as one of our usual snatch-and-go jobs. We need to infiltrate the planet itself, land a few of our mecha and take out those towers by stealth, and somehow get away. You haven't seen the new Rhinehawk yet, this thing...this thing ain't a cruiser anymore, Dude, it's a fucking battleship. Port authorities everywhere are going to shit themselves when they see it. The arrival of our fleet itself is going to set off sirens all over that planet. Notice how I'm not panicking, though?" She sends you a file. It's of a completely nondescript little transport, apparently it belonged to a company transporting agricultural products in between colonies, "This here was among our four new ships."

[Continued]

>>48152090
A duel in general will not be that easy and chances are he can easily deny us on the grounds that we are an honorless curr. If there is any chance of a duel it will happen because he desires and likely when he loses all other options. Remember; this is a guy with no honor who plays dirty pool. He is not going to go for a duel right off the bat and if he does, we would have already won.

>>48151913
No, man, that's a Barzam. You can tell from the head and the rather vaginal looking crotch-thruster.

>>48152251
Quest over due to health, stress, and other issues. A sad tale, but not much can be said considering how big it was.
>>
>>48152251
He basically cancelled the quest, he was feeling really burnt out and couldn't work it into his schedule
>>
>>48152214
well, the money was used for the one battle ship. From the sounds of it, these are smaller, likely weaker ships belonging to people who wanted to join our fleet. We aren't Tales of Galactic heros big yet.

"Apparently some of your fans on Io decided if they jacked a real starship and brought it to you, they would get to join the Iron Kestrels. Street gangers, basically. The thing is, they did it, and it's gonna come in handy, so...I told them we'd probably say yes. C'mon, Dude, it's not a big favor for some fans, we're swarming with recruits but we can still take these guys on." She whines.

You push your way through a bamboo thicket, while the Undefeated explains that it's an invasive species here and complains of what a pain it is to try and remove. You started out as a street ganger, the choice is obvious, "Of course, bring them in if you trust them. If they're skilled, put them on the Rhinehawk. If they're all pretty green, keep them assigned to that transport since they already know how to fly it."

"Got it. Anyway, we just got this ship, these gangers didn't tell anyone they were doing it for you, and according to them the company that owns it won't even know it's gone for a while because it had just left on one of its rounds. That means we can fly it right under an officer's nose and wiggle our butts and he won't smell shit."

You didn't need the analogy, but you grunt in acknowledgment.

"Outside the cities there are a lot of settlements. Some of them are just big walled factories or mines or plants with their own little spaceports. Some are actual towns and such. We can probably touch down in the wasteland somewhere if we're slick enough to avoid being caught by a satellite at the wrong time. That's about as far as I've planned out, you kinda sprung this on me. Slap some mech rigs in the transport where the cargo space used to be, send down a small group of mecha and personnel to take out the towers, then drop the Kaiser on the wedding itself. Now before you praise me and tell me I'm the smartest person you know, Moe came up with most of this."

[Continued]
>>
>>48152555
Damn son, Moe got a good mind for this type of shit.
also nice trips Wong.
>>
>>48152555
Moe you glorious, fluffy haired bastard. So, for the prep team, we will likely need explosives and some stealth/recon members. Might be the best to use the Betta for recon, and maybe Moe and some of the Suleiman to make it quick with low damage. Controlled explosives and enough force will limit notice after all.

"He knew about the towers, the satellites, and that it isn't unusual for a ship to touch down outside the main spaceports. He also thinks that there are going to be an awful lot of Martian warships around, he's convinced that the bearded asshole went home and told his government about that ship you guys ran into. Oh, right, and Oda wanted me to tell you about his fuckin' Harpies. He's been upgrading 'em. Apparently they're not as good as the Betta, more like the machine that killed Minty and Thelma and ripped a hole in Auditorium, but they can stealth now. I asked why and he said something about the ninja way and frankly after the fourth word I didn't understand I stopped paying attention to his speech. We've got a bunch of new Bluegills and Harpies, too, now. I'll have to get you the numbers on that. There might be other stuff mixed in, I'd need to double-check. Uh, we've got another medium-weight Jovian cruiser, that's from an actual pirate crew that joined up with us. They're legit, Captain Beckingham's alright. We've also got a smaller ship, heavy striker class. We also fixed the Green Skulls' missile boat. That puts our fleet total at one Rhinehawk, three medium cruisers, one heavy-striker grade light interceptor, and one medium-striker grade transport vessel. Six ships, sir, all fully crewed and at maximum complement thanks to our generous benefactors in the Abujamal family, may their god not smite them for having uncovered heads or whatever he does." You can hear her chortling.

By the way I'm going to have some substantial updates to make after this session. I have several different mecha to stat too.

They better look like a mix between stealth bombers and ninjas.

That name sounds familiar.

>>48152969

Does it? I made it up just now, unless I dredged it from some part of my memory.
>>
>>48152996
Probably thinking of the palace and a certain game character that still disappoints me. Either way, no worries on needing to update and stat stuff. It's understandable.
>>
>>48152013
We should kill him though if we let him live he's going to be a massive pain for us especially now that he has a real vendetta against us if we win

"So now the question is, can we stay hidden for a full twenty-four hours so we can gate out once I've grabbed her, and do we bring in the rest of the fleet?" Your head is spinning a little from all of this firepower, but you keep it cool, focusing on your footing.

"We're here, Roarke. Center yourself." The Undefeated stands in front of you, in a clearing occupied by the two of you and a huge, white boulder, like a giant pearl of masonry halfway embedded in the ground.

You promise to call Miles back later, and hang up.

"Alright. Now for the next phase of your training. Break this boulder with an open palm strike." He points at it, then steps back, arms folded, waiting expectantly.

You look from the very, very solid boulder, to your hand, to your teacher. True, you've been working hard this week, putting your body through a lot to grow stronger...but that's still just a week of exercise, and while the work itself is grueling and you're sure your skills and physicality are improving you have no idea how to break a boulder with your palm.

>[What say/do?]
>>
>>48153243
OR you know. Actually use our brains for fucking once. Co operate with the Sheikh's sympathizers, I guarantee there will be more than one, to investigate his death.
>>
>>48153302
>What the hell
>Hit the shit out of it
>>
>>48153361
might as well.
>>
>>48153243
Not exactly. Consider this; Fairchild is probably trying to build up power with Mr Angry likely being a member of her circle, right? It's one thing to not have Fatima and her fortune, but if he was exposed admitting that he did something corrupt? At a wedding with tons of upper ranking people and civvies? His name would be mud in every part of the solar system and Fairchild may do the job for us if he becomes a liability to her revenge game.

>>48153302
Well, best way that I can think of is to remember what it was like when we broke that first pot of sand. Calm thyself, think of all that needs to be done, all that we have to do, and feel that weight in your hand. Then try hitting the boulder with your palm.
>>
>>48153379
Thing is how many would actually believe us, or even care? In there minds we could have easily made up the story and whatever "evidence" we find. Plus I would rather just ruin her plan by getting rid of the guy instead of hoping that Fairchild does it
>>
>>48153302
Boulder meet palm
>>
>>48153302
Hit it with the tactical knowhow of a lumberjack. Don't even think we are strong enough to break it in one go yet.

3 hits. 2 Palms to form a wedge shape on one side to weaken its structure. And a final hit on the other side.
>>
>>48153418
What part of 'getting him to blurt it out' did you miss? The point isn't to ACCUSE him, the point is to make him do something VERY stupid in front of thousands of witnesses. That doesn't seem very hard right now and if we can get Fatima's worries dealt with so she has no need for him, then he'll probably do it himself.
>>
>>48153449
I understand, its just what kind of idiot blurts something like that out?
>>
>>48153302
Stake our lives on the line. The true way of martial arts. We throw the boulder up in the air somehow. Stand where it will land. Then we palm strike the fuck out of it or die trying.
>>
>>48153302
Close our eyes, focus our rage, then like the Nike commercials say, Just DO it.
>>
>>48153478
>Focus our rage
Is this how were going to learn the shinning finger?
>>
>>48153466
Let's see. A constantly angry individual, who is highly religious, with not only a vendetta on us, but likely enraged to high hell that we not only cost him his money, but also wrecking his plans by basically doing something crazy in his culture's eyes? Being made the fool in the eyes of thousands people and then further egged on? That kind of idiot? Because he has the makings for that kind of idiot.

Hell with it.

You slam your palm into the boulder with enough force to snap a man's neck...and try not to wince. That really, really hurts. Not as much as it would have hurt if you tried doing this before your training.

The Undefeated nods. "You tried." He doesn't sound condescending at all. Instead, he sounds congratulatory. "Eventually, you will break this stone. When you do, you will have mastered all that I have to teach you. Tell me, Roarke, why couldn't you break the boulder? Even if you think it's obvious. Don't try to impress me with some deep metaphysical answer unless you really think it's the right one. Today, I'm here to teach you, not measure your ability."

You think it's that easy to fool a man that has his eyes set on a whole solar system? This fucker is in leagues with Fairchild. She won't take a fool for a colleague. Just because he has rage issues doesn't mean he is incompetent. It just makes him a true blooded Arab.
>>
>>48153565
The flesh is weak!
>>
>>48153565
>Something about having not let go and emptying myself, seems like the lesson from a style about the void
>>
>>48153569
It's precisely why he's a fool that she would take him. Same with Jesus. You don't take ambitious people with intelligence under your wing. That gets you competent starscreams. You take people in high positions and talent that you can control, guide, use, and discard safely.
>>
>>48153565
I didn't hit it hard enough and I didn't hit it correctly. There must be some some trick to hitting it with sufficient force without breaking my hand. As with all fighting, its a combination of physical ability and technique
>>
>>48153527

So you think he'd rather blurt out he killed the sheikh and kicks puppies than try to shoot us or stab us with the swords everyone seems to have?
>>
>>48153609
It's easier to control a man with ambition. More predictable too. It's just you fuck up when you don't keep your eyes on them enough and let them amass enough power to overthrow you. Come on fampai. Basic.
>>
>>48153651
Hence why I said someone with int and ambition. Ambition is a great thing. It motivates and drives people to new limits, but it means jack if you are an idiot and can't form a coup or plan on your own. It also means less watching and it being easier to see him screw up. I mean, look at Jesus. Imagine if he had enough common sense to see he was being used?

>>48153634
Not exactly, but I can see him trying to use Fatima as a hostage, or trying to do something underhanded out of rage.
>>
"I didn't hit it hard enough? I didn't hit it correctly? Is there some trick to hitting it hard enough to shatter it without breaking my hand? Was my body too weak, or maybe I didn't empty my emotions or channel them or something?" You rub your hand as the Undefeated pulls a rabbit from a snare he'd placed in the shadow of a tree and ties it to his belt.

"Yes." He replies. "Yes to all of them."

"All of them?" You echo.

"All of them. That's why I said it." He shoots you an annoyed look, "You weren't acting in accord with yourself. Your body and spirit aren't yet capable of acting in complete concert with each other to channel that special something humans use to overcome obstacles, that nameless glory so many masters have tried to understand or name. When you have finished your training, you will be able to break this stone as easily with a fingertip as with your fist."

You have no idea what he's talking about, but it sounds like something you want to be able to do.

Damn it /m/.

Half an hour break for dinner, you'll know I'm back when I post the Rhinehawk's new stats.
>>
Well we got half an hour to kill, why don't we finish deciding what we want to do for Basil's mech? I think we were leaning towards a crowd control mech
>>
>>48154084
Pretty much. We got the combat bases covered well, but we really do need a crew for handeling the more gentle aspects of our job. I'll throw up the incomplete Pawn II, called the Dutchman up in a bit to chew the fat on it's design.
>>
>>48154084
So we going with shock weapons? What constitutes crowd control in Mekton Zeta?
>>
>>48154261
Stun Baton, Ltmg, and a shield was what I was thinking
>>
>>48154261
anti infantry, smoke/anti beam missiles, anti collateral weaponry. Basically, he's the guy we throw in a situation where a firm, yet gentle hand is needed as oppose to the Oda option.
>>
>>48154291
>>48154321

What if we make him have multiple grapple chans. Then have two main grapple arms that have extended range. Just gotta make the frame extremely armoured so he can take punishment. Like an anchor. Or a tentacle monster. A very vulgar mech indeed.
>>
>>48154354
That doesn't seem like a mech that a police officer would use, if we run into Slan that would be a different story
>>
>>48154375
What do you mean? Miles can program it to have its voice announce to everyone, "Full cavity strip search! Spread em, bitches!", every time it attacks. Oh, maybe I was thinking of TSA.
>>
>>48154354
The issue with grapple chan is that while she is good for 1 on options, she is an expensive lady and in any situation with small or large groups, she loses that effectiveness. However, the majority of our foes DO use beam weaponry. A maxed out Smoke Scatter missile or mine can serve as a great choke point for us and may even make it hard for the likes of Jesus, who is BEAM SPAM ALL DAY EVERY DAY.

In short, make him the one thing that many people fear; the One who buffs and debuffs.

"That ends the first part of your training. You have a few days before you're planning to go to Mars, right? You should rest up. Clear your mind. You've just spent a week in the woods, you should be with your crew for a while. Besides, that wife of yours is running out of things to clean and is talking about reorganizing. Reorganizing, Roarke!" He claps you on the shoulder, "There are limits, you know."

"I'll come back with Fatima, Master. You'll like her, I promise." You grin and give him a thumbs-up as the pair of you make your way back to the cabin.

After dinner, you bid him farewell, promise to bring him more booze next time, and return to your ship with Karen. Or at least, the bays that housed your ship's mecha while the ship was being upgraded in space itself. Except, they're empty. A dockyard employee points you to where the Knuckle Kaiser is being kept, and with Karen sitting sideway across your lap you make the flight out into the void in your mech.

...Which is when you see your starship reborn for the first time.

It still has a long, pointed nose and neck, but they've been heavily armored with much of the contour smoothed out. At its far end, six wings and an elevated sensor platform provide much of its bulk, and it is absolutely studded with guns. They may not be as large as a Wels' fore battery, but they're easily packing twice as much firepower as you had before.

You know, I just realized somethig. Seraphim were six winged angels and the highest order of angels in the heavenly host. Fallen angels are depicted with black wings at times and distorted bodies. We are going to highly religious Mars when a group of them called us Satan. Lucifer is a fallen seraph/arch angel.

Kaiser grin should be something that flickers in and out of existence. Can't really be intimidating when your visor goes up and down. That's like some thug with his pants on the ground. Nah, have the Kaiser grin light up when it procs and then fade out of existence just as fast. Like seeing a devil or nightmare in your dreams. It's there but when you search for it, it disappears. It's like when you stare at a light source briefly and close your eyes. Image is still there.

Miles and Richard welcome you back on board with grins, and Rosita with a pout, seeing Karen looking smug and latched onto your arm. The two of them eye each other like cats that are just dying to scratch at each other but know the first one to pounce will get punished.

"Darling, what do you think? Isn't it magnificent? Long ago, you regretted not having a proper ballroom for us, I think this counts, doesn't it? Aren't my mechanics wonderful?" Rosita compromises, clinging on to your other arm and occasionally glaring daggers at Karen, who glares back, "You know, you could even leave some of the work on the Rhinehawk to them."

"No, he couldn't." Karen, of course, loses her temper first, bristling, "They'd mess it up! They don't know the first thing about the Kaiser's systems."

"It seems they handled the ship just fine, though~ And shouldn't Roarke decide? It's his mech, after all. Fufufu~" Rosita grins.

"This is great!" You chip in, looking around you with awe, "Karen's the only one authorized to work on the Kaiser, but if you want to loan her some people to work under her direction, that would be fine." You cut them both off.

Karen frowns suddenly and looks at Richard, "Hey, my room, did she do anything weird to it?"

"Nope." The big, bearded man responds, "We didn't let her touch it at all. You have to take a different intersection at one of these corridors to get to it, but it's just like it used to be."

The mechanic sighs with relief.

Clemmy walks in laughing. "Haha, Hubby. Guess what. I was having a tour of our ship and I found a peculiar room. It smelled like you so I went inside. Haha, whoever made it had some stupid lock so I blew it up with some c4. Look what I found. She tosses Roarke's used underwear on the ground. It was full of vibrating wrenches."

As you look around the bay, one mech in particular catches your eye.

The mechbays are huge now, rack after rack of small Bluegills and Harpies interspersed with taller mecha like the Pumpkinseed IIs you took from Gretchen, the occasional Warmouth or Morgan II, sturdy hunchbacked artillery Garrons like upgraded versions of the one your mother used to pilot, but this one stands out. It's in the same weight and size category as the Knuckle Kaiser, even though it looks a bit lighter.

"What's that one, and why is it all white?" You point at it.

"That one's Moe's. His lady friend built it for him. Apparently they didn't have time to paint it, so she just left it white so we could handle it." Richard shrugs.

You rub your chin, then look speculatively over at Miles, who seems blissfully unaware.

"You know, Miles, I think you still owe Moe for gambling with him as the prize." You smile at her so very innocently.

Her eyes narrow in immediate suspicion, "I bought him a beer." She says in a surly tone, "He got laid and stuff and he's fine, what's the problem?"

You raise a finger in objection, "He got lucky. That could have been a whole lot worse and you know it." You rub your chin, considering, "...That thing really would look better in Kestrel colors."

"Don't you fucking dare, Dude." Miles glares at you.

"You owe him." You point out, "You're the head of his squad, it was your responsibility. So you're painting his mech. Karen, don't let her talk you into helping." You pat the mechanic on the butt.

If there is, it would have to be exceedingly well-hidden. Roarke has slept in Karen's room quite a few times. She likes its location, she likes its starmap program on her ceiling, she likes the particular setup that she's been adjusting to her liking since she moved in, and because she believes Red Siren would take the opportunity to mess with it somehow if she thought she could get away with it.

Oh no no. Not Elf. He's a number two man. See, the knight of gold is a machine piloted by two. One is the 'king', and one is the 'godess'. The king is up in the air, but I can make a safe bet on the other one.

>>48156072
Yeah. In mekton terms, this machine would be 44 tons over the highest possible penalty to MV, which is -10. That outright cripples any mech. To get it to a manageable -4? 200 CP worth of weight decrease. What would require that much weight however, would be horrifying.

Karen leans up and kisses your cheek, "I'm going to go check on grandpa. I've been away for a whole week, I have to make sure things are actually running."

Red hmphs quietly, and squeezes tighter on your arm, "That old man didn't hurt you too badly, did he? You haven't decided to become a hermit like him either, right?"

"I wouldn't survive being a hermit, I'm not good enough at catching fish barehanded." You did learn how to set snares for rabbits, though. You smile and give her a kiss as the pair of you walk through the bay. It's taking everything you have not to grin at the size of your army. You see a lot of faces you don't recognize, and that's a little disconcerting, but Richard is quick to explain while Miles is sulking.

"After the battle, pirates from other bands just started showing up. The Green Skulls liked to do the same thing they did to us, hit a crew hard once, wipe it out if it was convenient, and otherwise ignore it and go on to the next one. There were a lot of people whose grudges you settled, and you have a lot of fans after that broadcast. Recruiting has been easy."

You don't hear her. You don't see her. The attack comes swiftly, soundlessly, and completely unexpectedly. There's just a flash of movement and your hands moving before you can think. As her arms try to pin yours against your sides, you duck under her flying attack, catch her around the waist, and heft her into a carrying position over your shoulder.

She isn't the one you would normally expect such antics from, when you first realized something was leaping at you from atop the wing of one of the Harpies you passed by you'd assumed it was Clemmy for a brief second, but as surprised as she is at your newfound speed Samantha smiles and relaxes into the hold, "I missed you." She mumbles, looking a little embarrassed and smoothing down her pilot suit, "Roarke, I know if we go through with the plan Miles was discussing with me, it'll be my first act of real piracy and there won't be any going back for me, but that's okay. I want you to take the Betta along."

You let her down, and she hugs you anyway, "You smell like pine sap." She mumbles, and goes up on tiptoe to leave a black lipstick mark on your cheek.

"I should. The benefits of healthy living and training in gravity." You announce gravely, "Mighty thews and a manly aroma of pine."

Sam shoves you, "You're not a new mech, you don't have to smell like one. Was Karen alright?"

Nagano is not good with numbers. The actual power the Knight of Gold exhibits is impressive, but nowhere near that high. Though later on when Emperor Amaterasu builds the Jagd Mirage it's a bit more plausible that his mecha's engine is that powerful. That thing is literally made of guns. It needs all that output from the reactor to fire a single volley. It's mostly used for one-shotting planets, every time Amaterasu tries to use it for other things it ends horribly. Once he accidentally wiped out half his fleet just engaging the landing gear. Not a joke, that really happens.

"Of course she was. Rosita gave her some advice and she was perfectly fine, isn't that so?" You smile and squeeze Red Siren, who blanches a little.

Samantha is watching you both. Her large, grey-green eyes are soft, but incredibly attentive, "Oh. Is that so?" She smiles warmly, "Good. I'm glad to see the two of you getting along."

"Just swimmingly." The Siren rallies, refusing to be cowed by a former member of the military, "And how about you and that charming former co-worker of yours? Or were you rivals, being in competing squads? I never really understood the whole A and B thing."

Samantha's warm smile turns very cool, "If Roarke wants to keep that bloodthirsty woman around, that's his affair, I'll be there to rescue him if she does something horrid. Even though I lost when we had our practice duel." She glances up at you for support, "She's spent the entire week fighting people, trying to determine who the strong ones are. She's going to be devastated that she wasn't the first one here to welcome you back."

"I was wondering about that. Where is she?" You inquire.

Samantha sighs heavily, "The only thing worse than losing to the Butcher is seeing that man fight her to a standstill twice. This is their third match." Her shoulders droop, "I was the Colonel's top student on the Cincinnatus. His is an elegant and refined style, I feel ashamed that I've been shown up by someone who fights like a rabid animal and a man who yells the names of his attacks." She leads you out of the mech bay, taking a lift to another floor, and then into a small gym where a bunch of Iron Kestrels and Storm Dragons are watching a fight.

You notice Samantha is wearing her sword, and she still has that little scottie dog toy from the gachapon hanging from where it's secured on the scabbard.

"WUUUSHAAAAA!" With a ridiculous warcry, the figure in the bright purple protective gear blocks a vicious downward slash from the smaller but blindingly quick one in pure snow-white.

Yoritomo's kendo attire is immediately recognizable. It's bright purple and patterned with gold dragons, and his kendo mask has lightning bolt patterns on it.

Clemmy's is white. Plain white. It must have come with her in the Flowerhorn, because Kestrels standard is black and grey. While Yoritomo is swinging around a heavy bokken like a twig, she's opted for a single, smaller practice sword, straight and simple. Despite him having two weapons and being considerably taller than her, she's so fast and so aggressive that he's being pushed back.

"KAZE-RYU CHAIN EXPLOSION, HUWAAAA!" Yoritomo bellows, abruptly changing tactics and turning his next block into a diagonal slash that Clemmy barely manages to block. He sends her staggering back, then advances with a huge, sweeping blow.

Limber as a snake, she drops into a low horse stance, her upper body swinging beneath his blade like a darting viper before she charges back in...and spots you.

"ROARKE!" With a bellow of joy, she abandons the fight and runs to you, throwing her arms around your neck and her armored body against your torso, "Mine again! I was going to come visit you if you took any longer. I told the others not to interrupt your training, but the scrappy one insisted."

"ANIKI IS IT TRUE ABOUT THE ASIAN MASTER. TELL ME ABOUT THE ASIAN MASTER, SENPAI!" Yoritomo is right behind her.

You can't see Clemmy's face, but you can hear the smile in her happy sigh as she nestles up against you, leaving no room for Samantha and Rosita, who both give her a little space. They don't seem all that resentful, and you can see why.

Samantha interjects quietly, "Really, we should focus on who we're taking with us. The transport Miles wants to use can carry twenty mecha, at most. Obviously, two of those slots are going to be for the Knuckle Kaiser and the S-Betta." She looks at you for confirmation.

You nod, "Three. We're taking the Tarrasque. I figure if I'm going to crash a wedding I might as well bring a present big enough to cram down the groom's throat."

"Three." She smiles warmly, "That leaves seventeen. Sixteen if we follow my gut instinct and include Second Mate Mohammed, because he knows the territory."

"Me." Clemmy states.

"Teitoku-sama! Bring me along! It's always fun when we fight together!" Oda bellows.

No, the article did the math on standard size of paper for 8 bends. A bend level which was at the time not physically ever done. And would shred the paper much earlier.

Hmmm.. I see the need for a 3 teams. Home, the Sapper Team, and the Wedding team. Home's job is to make sure we have a home to go BACK to. Anyone who shows up to cause trouble or tries to get us as we leave will deal with them.

The tower team's job is simple. Demolision, and silence the target. Sammy, Clemmy, Richard and Miles can do that, with a small team of support to handle civvies and fragiles. We want a smaller, quicker team for this and stealth is important.

The Wedding Crashers can be more pompous since their job is two fold. Getting there, and getting out. Oda for his power, Moe for his speed and knowing the land, Siren for utility and the others are going to serve two important support roles. 1 is to make sure that no civvies are hurt during our entrance. That includes soldiers. Load them with smoke/scatter bombs if need be since oda and the kaiser are melee fighters. The other is Fatima's 'knights' that she adored. We are going to need more than ourselves to convince her. We are going to need those she has a bond with.

You could take Oda's stealth Harpies, your versatile Bluegills, your fast squad of Martian Scimitars, or even Gretchen's Pumpkinseed II squad.

To be fair i'm also not really a huge gundam fan and this seems to take a lot of inspiration specifically from Gundam. Not that i'm trying to hate or nothing.
>>
>>48157342
Mix of Harpies for stealth, Bluegills for versatility, and Pumpkinseeds for power
>>
>>48157342
martian scimitars (assuming we can attempt to pass them off as local mechs) and the stealth harpies broken into half a squad each for infiltration and chaos sowing, and the pumpkin seeds for power.
>>

Smoke missiles would definitely be an option for any grunt unit that can be equipped with a missile launcher or comes with one by default.

As a side-note, I think Miles and Richard are due for some upgrades. Richard needs more Gungnir missiles and maybe a better melee weapon, Miles needs to lose the accuracy penalty on her gun.
>>
>>48157342
Some stealth harpies could work for the tower mission. About 3 should do. Bluegills can have the smoke/scatter missiles for cover and escape, and the martians can serve the purpose for what I said before. Besides, they can serve as guides for us to meet back up with and also fly under the radar, so to speak.

Oh also the linked article actually has proper math for length needed to reach X folds.
Lemme plug it in...

While my toaster is struggling with wolfram alpha, just take a note of the formula there http://pomonahistorical.org/12times.htm and that it has essentially 2^(2n) multiplier on the length compared to 2^n for the thickness.
what it means?
It means that it's growth rate is SQUARED per each fold.

And here we see. Shit's even more cray than banal thickness.

Just read skipping everything but QM posts. That'll catch you up quickly.

It's mostly character faces. I've watched a grand total of 1 gundam series (00) and doing just fine. (

(Altho Moe's Exia does have me giggling happily.)

Sounds good, we could easily write it off as due to the money we just got
>>

>>48157366

You only have 10 slots. You definitely can paint up the Scimitars to look like local PMC units.
>>
>>48157374

So, five Scimitars, three Harpy Shinobis, and a pair of Bluegills or Pumpkinseed IIs with smoke/scatter missiles?
>>
>>48157394
3 painted Scimitars for recon
3 Stealth Harpies for Stealth
4 Pumpkinseeds for defending our transport
>>
>>48157407
More or less, yes. We don't really need power units with our line up of aces, but we do need recon, support, and escort units.
>>
>>48157407
>>48157408

This or this?

>>48157307

A quick trick to reading through these if you just want my posts is that every plot post will have a picture.

>>48157420

True. Do note that Basil's Warmouth Custom is by default equipped with smoke missiles. Since Missiles are a guarantee for him, was his second skill going to be melee or guns?
>>
>>48157451
Guns for crowd control
>>
>>48157451
guns for basil
>>
>>48157451
Guns for him I think. Our party was starting to get pretty melee heavy and guns are great for crowd control.

If the pumpkin seeds can be loaded for defense and support, sure.
>>
>>48157407
^This. The Aces have enough firepower to defend the transport and Bluegill/Pumpkinseed Smoke missiles can create enough Chaos for us to getaway.
>>
>>48157475

The Pumpkinseed II automatically comes equipped with a beam rapier, an Active shield, a rocket launcher, and a single Heavy Missile for emergencies. They're pretty good for grunt mecha. The rocket launcher can be replaced with smoke missiles, I'll just have to check the math to see how many they could carry for the equivalent price.

Also, guns is it for Basil! Which is ironic, because back when Roarke fought this Warmouth it was a melee variant.

I also need to work out whether Weapon Mating is really the most efficient way to represent Moe's MOE system (has both the functions of a beam rifle and a beam saber, and he has two of them), or if an Energy Pool would be better.
>>
>>48157512
Well, I was never really thought of using the energy pool system, since I figured you'd need to switch forms to use the other abilities and Multi Opponent Engagement System(or whatever I called it) was originally designed as a means to deal with various enemy types through. Then I had to fenangle math and it became a mess in the end.

Though if that is possible, replacing blue gills with pumpkin seeds may be good since their shields can provide guarantee protection.
>>
"Bring along the five Scimitars, three of your new Harpies, Oda...and two of the Pumpkinseed IIs. I want to see more of them in action. Have their shield rocket launchers refitted with smoke shots for cover and escape. Oh, and no Kestrel colors on the Scimitars. Repaint them like PMC units. Our aces have plenty of firepower, what we'll want is utility." You nod at Miles and Richard, who nod, salute, and go off to find people to delegate this to until it gets done.

"That will do for now. Everyone, you know what you need to do. Dismissed."
