Fucking awesome

As you can see, we're having a little diversion before the interview. This is intentional, it gives you time to get together the points you want to make during the interview, arguments, and particularly impressive lines. It's always good to get your story straight. For instance, I noticed some Anons in previous threads discussing using the fleet to establish an independent state in the asteroid belt, or at least take over some more territory. Whether you want to announce that, and how, would be an important thing for me to know before we get into the interview itself.

"Unacceptable!" Barks out a sharp, upper-class female voice with a refined Martian accent.

"I must admit, it is NOT the sort of thing a proper young man from Mars would do! I'm rather shocked with you too, Mohammed." Adds a voice with a similar accent and tones, but richer and more womanly where the first voice was more high-pitched and girlish.

You look around, spotting Fatima by her height and the way the mechanics are sort of diverging around her like a stream around a particularly haughty rock. She has one of Mohammed's ears caught between forefinger and thumb, and is pulling on it. Shukriya has his other ear, and is tugging even harder.

"It's haram." Fatima states plainly.

"Absolutely haram!" Shukriya insists.

"Completely against the dictates of the Caliph! Don't you know a high emissary from Mars is coming here? I was hoping to introduce you! Is this how one of my former knights should act!?" Fatima scowls at the poor boy.

Mohammed seems to be at a loss for words. The expression on his face is one you've seen on Harpy pilots who've gotten a little too close to a rocket fusillade. He spots you, though, through the crowd, and his eyes fill with hope.

"A-Admiral!" He calls out, and the two women notice you as well.

>[Good luck, Mohammed! A man should solve his problems himself!]
>[Protect Mohammed's smile! You can't let your officers be bullied, even by Fatima!]

>>49103864
Give him a thumbs up, turn 360 degrees and walk away.

>>49103864
>[Protect Mohammed's smile! You can't let your officers be bullied, even by Fatima!]
no one gets left behind.

Hey, it's up. Finished off the Delphinus and Beiji designs, trying to get them as close to the original Gundam and it's rediculousness as possible.

2-Negociations
(Wait the emissaries go away)
3-The Final From the Tournament and the announcement
of the Libertarian Anarchcapitalist Pirate Principality of the Belt

I'd say announce it at the end of the tournament

>>49103864
>[Protect Mohammed's smile! You can't let your officers be bullied, even by Fatima!]

They're probably saying something about him piloting a humanoid mech. For fuck's sake.

>>49103864
>>[Help...Give him the ropes, but let him get himself out of trouble alone]

Been rereading the quest during my downtime (Currently at the Master Training arc) and I think I have the third SOUL B member deal figured out.

First, the real third member is Lysa, Jesus' girlfriend. I noticed how he seemed kind of betrayed during the Third Mate reveal when we picked up Doctor Clancy and it would explain why he was perfectly willing to go along with the doctored footage during his interview on air.

Now the Priest (Who's name I forget) plays the double role of being both the official 'face' of the third B member, as well as being Lysa's bodyguard. There's no way in hell Ceaser meeting him in the church while Lysa was there was a coincidence.

Now why they would go this far to keep the real pilots identity a secret, most likely either Lysa doesn't want to deal with anymore comparisons to Red Siren than she already deals with, or she doesn't want her role as a military pilot to publicly clash with her hippy liberal idol bullshit.

>>49104035
>she doesn't want her role as a military pilot to publicly clash with her hippy liberal idol bullshit.

>>49103936
Fucking gundam hammer. Seeing one of them come around the hammer is almost as bad as seeing the fucking O in gundam online.

>>49104035

The only thing about that is during one of the fights Roarke noticed that the S-Slayer's pilot was better than him, and that was weird because he's an ace and should know anyone on that tier. Lysa is a teenager, and all of the teenagers we've seen, even the really badass ones, have dicepools of 16 or so at best, how would she get that good? Is she a grown-up Puru?

By the way, Wong whats your opinion on Genocyber? I finally got around to watching it this weekend and it was kickass. Elaine would make a good daughter for Clemmy

Sry, its already established that first mate was the saboteur onboard the Jaburo

>>49104134
>>49104035
Remember guys she also told us that she has a better shade of hair then we do, so its probably someone with a similar shade of hair, ie Reccoca

>>49104224
Pretty much. Lysa seems too much like a political mastermind than a fighter. There is also the fact that Reccoca managed to pull off an act to escape with that whole 'Violate' scenario.

You look up at where the Zulfiqar is resting in its rack. Polished almost until it glows, its smooth, organically curving lines and transparent display surfaces give it an ultra-modern appearance. It's a damned strange thing, to see something like this in the bay of a pirate ship. On the other hand, it's a damned strange thing to have a pirate ship this size.

You clap your palm to your forehead. For fuck's sake, is this what they're bullying him about?

You make your way over, the hope dawning in Mohammed's eyes.

Shukriya smiles triumphantly, "Sir Admiral! Please, although you are not Martian, give guidance to this reprobate. He's flouting our traditions and shaming the Ahmad family!"

"The Black Ogre does not transform, why should my Zulfiqar?" Mohammed sulkily insists, trying to tug his ear out of her grip unsuccessfully.

"Why...well...because...tell him, Cousin Fa! Cousin? Cousin!?" As the expected support does not arrive, Shukriya glances in confusion towards Fatima.

>>49103989
Well heres the plan I made a while ago

>1.Interview with Gretchen
>2.Invite Stern, Kycilla, and Soul A to concert/tourney, Make sure they know its important
>3.Train with Master Asia until Tourney
>4.Have Stern, Kycilla, and Soul A sit with us and Haman during the show to keep her from pulling shit
>5.After Haman leaves sit down our Navy friends and tell them everything we know about both sides and tell them our plans
>6.Ask them to join our side or at least work towards getting rid of Haman
>7.Announce our new Kingdom before the final match up between us and the finalist so the max amount of people are watching
>8.Profit

All the while recruiting as many of the competitors as we can during the Tourney

Fatima's expression has gone from stern to gently doting, "Good morning, my wolf~ Did you sleep well? Ah...your hair is all messy, hold still, I'll fix it. Did you eat already?" She lets go of Mohammed's ear to fuss with your hair, combing it out a little with her fingers and smoothing it down with headpats.

"Yes, I had breakfast. Anyway, about Mohammed..." You try to cut in to defend your subordinate, but Fatima is relentless.

"Good. You need to eat at least something every morning to keep your strength up." She gives you a sunny smile, "I cleaned your jacket, I heard you're going on JNN today and I wanted you to look your best."

"Cousin!" Wails Shukriya.

Fatima glances at her questioningly.

The younger Martian girl pouts, "Are you abandoning your own family?"

Fatima considers it, then kisses your cheek, "Priorities, and Roarke IS part of my family."

"You're not married yet! Can't you take my side just a little longer!?" Shukriya pleads.

Fatima sighs, "Roarke, Mohammed is an upstanding Martian boy and for the sake of my cousin I am obliged to ask you to be a good moral compass to him. His man-shaped mech is not in keeping with the image of a proper Martian ace."

[Continued]

>>49104515
But hes not a Martian ace now, hes a PIRATE ACE

>>49104102
Yup. It's a good old fashion piece of 'fucking your shit up' technology and I tried to do it justice. Looking at it now that I statted it, the Delphinus and Beiji would actually be damn good for a sudden orbital drop. Would be harder to spot coming in and could preform a rather nasty decap strike if done right.

>>49104515
>Fine by me, he hasn't been a Martian ace for a while Dejah Thoris

>>49104563
How does reentry work in this system?

>>49104563
I was thinking a neat idea for a pirate machine would be something that can enter and exit the atmosphere as it wanted. For example you can just stick the ability onto a harpy for an extra 13CP.

>>49104515

He's a pirate first, Martian second.

A man needs every edge he can get his hands on to survive out here, no chance to be picky about it.

>>49104691
You need to buy the system which becomes more expensive the heavier the machine is. 1 Cp per 10 tons or so. You can have it be external, which gives you -2 for Mv, or internal which eats up space. So I made it internal and used space efficiency. It can only be used once before having to be recharged, but considering getting out of the atmosphere requires a crazy MA to begin with, there is no reason to have it be multi use.

You nod solemnly, "You're right as always, I have to set a good example for my people to follow."

"I knew I could count on you, Roarke Starwind." Fatima's voice is warm, but there is a flash of suspicion in her eyes.

"Be like me, Mohammed." You pose, "...A true pirate."

Fatima sighs, "And there it is. Oh you wolf..." She grumbles, but without any bite to it.

"Yes! I, who pilots a humanoid mech, carries off highborn women over his shoulder, and eats lots of bacon sandwiches!" You proclaim proudly, as Fatima facepalms.

Mohammed's eyes shine with the light of youth inspired by their teachers, "Yes, my Admiral!"

"Be your own man! Break down the obstacles in your path!" Infusing your words with the fire of your warrior soul, you point dramatically at him while hugging Fatima with your free hand.

Shukriya just stares in noncomprehension, "But Mohammed is part of the Ahmad household, he should..."

"Mohammed is part of my household, he's one of my treasured officers. He wears my uniform and pilots a mech for the Iron Kestrels. He is by definition a pirate ace. It's fine, everything he does reflects upon me, not Fatima." You squeeze your Martian bride-to-be and she smiles tolerantly.

"Fatima, say something!" Shukriya demands, stomping her foot.

Fatima glares at her, "It can't be helped. Now stop pouting, it will give you wrinkles. Since you insisted on coming here, go make yourself useful. I don't see any oil on those hands, how are you earning your food and lodging exactly? Are YOU a hostage?" Her eyes narrow as she stares down the younger woman.

"N-no, but..." Shukriya's shoulders droop.

"No buts. I may be slightly disappointed in his decision, but that's how it is." Fatima's stare doesn't waver a single micron.

"If it helps, humans don't have horns like that. Or such big forearms. It's clearly patterned after a...a..." You fumble for a name from Species of Earth and then decide to just make one up, "A Greater Crested Ape, native to Chad."

[Continued]

>>49104800
So if we get it we can piledrive a mech into a planet from space?

>>49104811
>Roarke bringing more Earth knowledge

Dude is educated as fugg.

>>49104811
>A Greater Crested Ape, native to Chad
You can trust that Roarke Starwind fellow; he's seen "Species of Earth" over a dozen times!

>>49104800

That and those vehicle pod cockpits are both technologies being researched by the UJCIDF.

>>49104800
Transat Ability is the same thing but its a 0.15 multiplier that also lets you exit the atmosphere in jet form with a one off refuelable booster and as far as I can tell lets you do re-entry as much as you want.

>>49104816
Pretty much! The stuff protects the user, but if we were to say.. body board a mech to the earth, they'd likely lack the same thing. Another thing to consider, this only prevents you from the issues of reentry. Boosters, flight, or parachutes are required not to become a metal pancake.

You can't make a monkey out of Roarke

>>49104868
They are both good things to have for a war. Pinpoint strikes that are hard to detect make for great moves, especially for dealing with planet scale campaigns. The vehicle pods also protect the ever valuable pilot, which allows them to escape and simply get in another machine. The Beiji may cost 3 pumpkinseeds, but in the hands of a good pilot, it will last quite a bit longer.

>>49104959
Took me a second.

>>49104811
The fact that Mohammed is, to my memory, a sword user and has a mech based on a ape terrifies me.

Though I suppose if Mohammed really wanted to he could find a way to compromise.

Nonhuman mechs are not so big a penalty that Mars got xed out of being a millitary powerhouse using them.

>>49105053

All he needs are grapplers on the feet to quad wield swords.

"Eyaah!? Really!? Oh wow, I didn't know you were so erudite, Admiral Starwind! Although of course, I should have expected it from Cousin's husband-to-be!" Shukriya's eyes shine, and she nods vigorously to express how impressed she is.

You nod too, "Yes, it has extremely large, bushy eyebrows, so big they stand up above its head. The alpha males have the largest eyebrows, creating an appearance of horns."

"Oh wow! Poor Mohammed, I am so sorry..." Shukriya begins patting his head as if it would soothe having his ear yanked on.

"A Greater Crested Ape, hmm?" Fatima looks at you sidelong. You don't need telepathy to see that she isn't buying it for an instant.

"Yes. From Chad." You confirm, as seriously as you can.

"Of course. From Chad." She repeats.

"Have you ever been to Chad, Cousin? You've been offworld, right? With the whole masked ace thing...oh no! Was I not supposed to mention that!?" Shukriya claps her hand over her mouth, looking stricken.

"Chad is on Earth, so no." Fatima sighs, "I suppose it wasn't going to stay a secret."

You look down at her, "I was going to ask you about that. I heard about this Martian ace named Dejah Thoris, she's supposed to be extremely talented, do you know her?"

[Continued]

>>49105070
You could always just mount them directly to the legs.

>>49105070
Well no, all he needs are grapples and knowledge on how to coordinate four swords and leg sword fighting styles.

Though I cant argue, my oc mech involved a salvager welding as many salvaged arms to a torso as possible in some abomination to every god of ethics known.

>>49105053

Roarke is bullshitting. Regina Hatsheput didn't even think about anything but making a "darling hero mech for my darling Mohammed and it's going to be cute and fancy and have AoE beam blunderbusses~" when she had it built on board the Jaburo.

>>49105154
Beam blunderbusses you say? I must know more.

>>49105154
Well it's cute so it's okay.

Fatima snorts, "Hmph. You've got to understand, there are certain things people say about an attractive young woman who has outstanding talent with a mech and becomes famous. If you don't believe me, ask Red Siren. Even if those rumors are completely empty, it can be enough to put off an insecure suitor and I have a duty to marry well, so...I put on a mask. Even if it was a paper-thin deception, the fact that I was making an effort at modesty made my flying more respectable." She smiles, "My mother had a book, 'Jon Carter of Mars', about a wonderful warrior from Earth who rescues a princess. Even though it got so many details of Mars wrong, for it was written in ancient times long before mankind set foot on the Red Planet, I still loved that story and the brave red princess. Anyway, I was pretty young, on the edge of seventeen, when I drove a group of raiders out of a village bordering my family's land with one of my father's tanks. It hadn't been painted with our livery yet, and as I was leaving one of the village elders called after me, asking to know who I was. It was the first name that popped into my head, and after that, I just...went with it." She smiles, "It's an embarrassing nickname, isn't it? You're smiling, are you laughing at me, Roarke?"

You shake your head, "I know a thing or two about embarrassing nicknames, I'm still Dude McCool to some of my friends."

Fatima bursts into well-bred laughter, and after a moment Shukriya joins her.

You rub the back of your head, "I, uh, didn't want anyone to know my middle name was Susan. It's not very tough, and back then I thought the strong, silent thing was cool. So Captain Ozark renamed me and called me that even after I told people what my actual name was."

Fatima smiles and shakes her head, "Dude or Roarke, you're mine and I treasure you." She kisses you, "I'll go get lunch started."

You look askance at her, "But I just finished breakfast."

She winks, "I hunt my own rabbits."

Thats a pretty nice weapon to be honest. Takes out mook swarms like a champ while still able to ATATATATA a man to death with beam blades. I'm sure he'd get along swimmingly with Simon.

Hum... What about giving a mask to Mohammed and making him our own masked ace?

That would end the haram problem... No?

So how should the structure of the interview go anons?

I was thinking something like
>Questions
>Hype marriages before commercial
>Talk about Toureny
>Then Marriages

And I need to take an hour to eat dinner since I will be typing nonstop after that. See you at 11:30, everyone. Polish your silver tongues, you love the public and the public loves you.

>>49105593
He's kind of known.
And more importantly, its a religious thing. If you only follow commandments because people are LOOKING you aren't actually following them and as a pirate why be pious if you don't intend to pray?

I actually really like the space muslims so id prefer a haram mech (Lets get some motherfuckin zoids), but Mohammed has explicitly never given a shit.

I'd do it the way i see talk shows go. They talk about the event, then we talk about us and our deeds. Roll clip of ass kicking. Then we go talk about the rewards and why we are doing this, amp up the feels ( I actually DONT know why we are doing this I forgot) and surprise everyone by having secretive Bluegill Joe ace Dejah Thoris personally duel us live at bluegill joe to be available to people who watch the show online or live since we don't have a band.

The product would be the tourney but were using the questions from the fans and marriage talk to draw in the views so the most people will be watching when we announce the tourney. Were using the tourney to recruit mooks and aces and see if we can find a better grunt mech then the Harpy

>>49105834
Pretty sure we are doing it because we thought it would be cool.

>>49105884
THE DICE GODS HAVE SPOKEN!!

Okay,Lets think this through before he come back.

So, anything more besides the marriages and the Tourney?

Are we going to say anything about the concert?

Which style of competition you be this be? any catch?

Will everyone be able to participate if they want?

And more, about our kingdom...what are your opinions about how should we rule it? Is this going to be some kind of Absolute Monarchy like Avalon? Or some kind of libertarian(is this the word for it in english?) propriety without taxes and with Hookers and Blackjack allowed?

>>49105834
The tournament is a means to kill multiple birds with a zaku sized rock. First off, publicity and money from bets. Second off, seeing which mechs do well can serve as the basis for our fleet and give us something sturdier than a bluegill. Third, we want ace pilots and those interested in us to pop in. Fourth, takes eyes away from Lysa and Fairchild.

>>49105747
Hum... This makes sense... but THINK ABOUT MOHAMMED CHAR!

lol

>>49105834
We have our line of Yoritomo products...
But i don't think Fatima will agree in playing Bluegill Joe... Because of the "man-formed" thing

>>49105915
>kill multiple birds with a zaku sized rock
Fucking Doan.

>>49105901
Just spitballing, but in order

We can talk about the fight with Avalon and all of our recent battles/adventures

We should promote the concert mostly focusing on Red

I was thinking battle royal to weed out the mooks and then normal tourney set up with how ever is left

Anyone who can pay the 10 grand entrance fee, or they can put up their mech as collateral

Kind of a mix, Roarke is the king and all citizens are either working on the colonies or joining our crews. But there won't be many rules and will kind of be like the wild west that way

>>49105926
Isn't it going to be Fatima Char? She's actually masked.

>>49105884
What about Zakus?


Hehehe, i'm kidding

but what about Pumpkin Seeds II? Aren't they 120CP like Wong wanted? I don't know much about this system yet... But i belive we could do some minor modifications for our tastes if it's necessary.

>>49106013
Their a symbol of the Jovians if we want to start up our own faction then we need our own lines of mechs to show were legit, a retooled Zaku might actually work well

>>49105979
Could be more a protection sort of thing. Supply machines services and the like and you are under Kestrel protection. Any pirates that mess with said colony get a visit from the Kaiser. Colonies we take over however we just take a fee from them. No looting or killing, just a charge of services and the like which would be relatively higher due to us putting our own machines there.

Eventually we will get our Pirate Solomon/Nice Colony with war capabilities.

>>49105979
You are forgetting Something, Removing the major corps from our space, they don't give a shit about people, and should not have too much of a presence in the belt, lets keep it that way

>>49106033
Thing is we want control of the belt since it's like being in charge of Gibraltar, you control a major way in and out of the system and can then raid ships that have to cross the area or we can charge then a fee to cross, we can't do that as much with a mafia like set up since the colonies might just let them through

>>49106123
>not having z'gocks

>>49106129
First you need a place of power that is not the Auditorium to host the factory.

It's not our capital to have, it's Siren's and you can't trust all your laifu with a single waifu.

Not that she'll betray us but if we depend on Siren's stuff for everything it makes the others auxillaries. Like how Richard and Miles dont really matter that much anymore.

>>49106172
Plus we can pimp another place out for production and defense.

>>49106172
Well, the entire ransom for the Pally will likely be more than enough to buy a colony or two. The factories and Fatima's connections should help there and with Karen's help we got a skilled designer mechanic who will make sure the assembly line will run smoothly.

>>49106160
>not having Acguys

>>49106172
We can offer much lower taxes for colonies or just conquer some and deck one or two out to be mech producers. I do think we should keep Auditorium as the capital since we do want Red to live with us where ever we are and I doubt she wants to give control of it to someone else

>>49106129
>>49106123
I see your points, but the Pumpkinseed is in fact a Symbol, it was the weapon who would end the pirates once for all and etc...

Using it against them, and not only doing that, but doing this with a better pirate version,would turn this symbology upside down and turn it something that would surpass even the dimensions of simple war and entering the popular imaginary of the people of the system to weaken even the ideals the serve as the base to jupiter governerment and awaking people to reality...

Buying a ton of pumpkinseeds would just give juipter a ton of money and no one seems to care that we already use better bluegills.

>>49106246
Hum... Why not use the freedom and smaller(if not inexistent) taxes to bring companies to come make money in our colonies?

And lets not call it "taxes" or "protection money" it make us sound like Jupiter or something...

Why not "Rent money"?

>>49106129
because customizing stolen mechs has been our M.O since the beginning of the quest, on top of being a hell of a lot cheaper?
Seriously, why spend money and materials on a production facilities and RnD when Bahamut Corp can do that for us?

>>49106263
The thing is, you are thinking of this as a PR War against a big corp who shits PR like it just ate an entire cheap chinese Buffet. It proves Bahamut corp can design a machine that even pirates want and thus givs them more credit to make more machines. So what if we stole it and improved it? The base is theirs and thats all they need. Rather, we should go for something not Bahamut or Buchapres in make. Either a solid Lunar machine, or a unique design. Make a machine that stands out from both corps and makes other colonies want in on that pie.

It turns out Fatima's enigmatic final statement wasn't so enigmatic. You spot her going down to Auditorium with a hunting rifle slung over her shoulder on your way to play some Bluegill Joe with your friends, and when lunchtime comes she serves you the best rabbit stew you've ever eaten. You haven't had rabbit more than once, if that, so 'the best you've ever eaten' is a low bar to set...but even if you'd eaten rabbit stew every week, it's unlikely you would taste better than Fatima's. It's delicious, and she looks good enough in her apron to eat for dessert. The only thing stopping you from doing just that is the fact that you have a television appearance coming up. She eats with you, and gives you advice, letting you know that she's spoken to the other girls and firmly insisted they all marry you at one to avoid jealousy. She also tells you that you should choose a head wife to manage your household, “...Someone you trust. Not your favorite in bed or the best cook, but the one the others listen to and are willing to follow. Don't assume I mean myself, either, the dynamics of your harem are something you know better than I. Pick someone unlikely to take sides unfairly, with a level head.”

>>49106404
Hum... Could we make our own Punpkinseeds II?
If we are going to make our own mechs and all, why not stealing their design("pirating it")?

>>49106482
Because the CP limit we were given still lets us fit in more shit.

Completely unrelated, but I think I might have found the Zeon version of knuckle Kaiser.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUVDvW7YP1c

>>49106480
...Oda?

>>49106480
So either Sam or Fatima. Karen is a womanchild, Clemmy is too wild, and Rosita is too self centered

>>49106480
"No, Fatima. A man must live free, and the same applies to women. My harem will be a democracy between the 5 of you, not a dictatorship."

By the way, how set are you on fighting the finalist? Because the upgraded Knuckle Kaiser is well, well above 140 CP.

That said, it's not as extreme as it's going to look. The original Knuckle Kaiser was somewhat undercosted because I screwed up with the fists. The new one is an improvement on the old in almost every respect. Better sensors. More armor. More accurate fists (and more damaging, thanks to improved servos). Better shields. It's also lighter. The cost also justifies upgrades for several of your ace waifus.

>>49106563
Aren't we letting Aces bring their own mechs? They should be over 140 cp

>>49106563
Are we expecting some high class contestants?

Worse comes to worse we fight them fairly by both using unmodded harpies.

>>49106529
Fuck yeah, boxer shields.

>>49106160

Zgoks exist. The Warmouth, retooled for space rather than marine combat, is one of the most popular "heavy" mecha around. "Heavy" because a Heavy Striker was viewed as large before the conflict with Avalon broke out and SOUL and Roarke showed up with Mediumweight mecha.

>>49106468
Yeah....Forgot about that...Gundamit.

But seriously, i think Haman is the culprit behind our mom death in some way, remember how ir began by almost killing our father? And mother only dying because she tried to help him?

My theory is that Fairchild set it up to kill him to get him out of her way, but it back fired and killed mother too.

>>49106172

Richard and Miles are still very important as they run a lot of the day-to-day aspects of the Rhinehawk itself and the fleet at large. It's just that a lot of that is boring work that doesn't need to take up onscreen time.

>>49106634

Sounds like something the cunt would do, pardon my terran.

We really need to find a way to pay her back, she owes us blood, and I for one /really/ want to collect on that particular debt.

>>49106563
It's more a way to show how the machine handles against the kaiser. Could do it like a wrestling match on our side. Go for the pin and suplex, not the kill. Though I guess there are other machines we could spar with to show off the Kaiser.

Why don't we set them on on the Avalonian ship anons? We still need a captain for it

>>49106677
Right now I'm more concerned with getting pay back on the first mate, and I'm working out some ideas on how to catch her

>>49106686
Well if we invite Caesar we can do a match with him

>>49106634
I think accidently killing your idol would have made Fairchild less "frigid bitch" and more... "depressive lunatic". Someone who willingly signs off hundreds of lives because everythings worthless, nothing matters and her orders are written through the lens of a whiskey bottle.

Unless Fairchild simply denies she did anything wrong and is Judge Frollo but I think she's supposed to be a person just a cruel one. That her standards are things she will never break, low they are, not something she simply ignores.

>>49106529

Fucking Banagher waddling his way into a manly fight and spoiling it. It's nice to see that the Feddies found their niche, at least, making the most OPERATOR suits in existence.

Think about how unbalanced it would be if Naomi's S-Puffer with its A-Particle shield or Caesar's Swordfish II went up against mecha on the level of Amos' current ride.

Funny... I really Always imagined them as metallic blue Z'goks....

Normally, you would say that you felt nervous going into the interview. That you felt the eyes of the crowd, no, the entire solar system on you. That the weight of your decisions in the days to come will press down on your shoulders like a boulder.

Except that you're Roarke Starwind, so what you feel instead is excited to see Gretchen has undone an extra button on her shirt on account of the warm weather. You lift your shades enough to wink at the crowd, giving them all a cheerful wave. The building is borrowed from Red Siren, along with the equipment and most of the crowd. They cheer. One bold girl with her hair dyed in imitation of Rosita pulls her shirt up and flashes you, and you gesture to the security people to stop when they go to remove her.

“Ladies and gentlemen, our guest for tonight, Roarke Starwind!” Gretchen grins and gestures at you as you settle down into the couch next to her chair. You notice she has new mecha figurines on her desk, the S-Betta, Tarrasque, Archen, S-Flowerhorn, and Knuckle Kaiser arranged in a team pose.

“Glad to be here, Gretchen. You're looking especially lovely today.” You don't consider it flattery when it's true.

I think I mentioned that the Warmouth and its variants are based on the Z'gok and Grimoire early on, it must have stuck in your memory.

The Morgan II is based off the Rick Dias, but both the Warmouth and Morgan II are very moddable and since they were the default 'big mech' frames for a long time you see a lot of strange variations. For instance, the Osano-Wo started life as a perfectly standard UJCIDF Morgan II.

>>49106563

Aren't those GMs getting wrecked at the onset?

To this day, I've wondered how the Zeonic marine mech developers got such a ridiculous excess of funding. Their aquatic units were extremely well-armored, powerful, and equipped with beam technology even before their ground units, I believe. Someone had to have been fucking a Zabi or something.

>>49106795
Interesting. I'll have to finish up my mecha as soon as I can.

>>49106815
What is this fucking pirategate?

>>49106862
Because watercooled.

>>49106713
Man, i think she really did it, it is quite possible.
Look at this way, in her head she was trying to make what she thought was better for her senpai...
Don't you remember what seha said about dad being in the way of mom carrier and becoming the better she could be?
But things went wrong... And now she is even crazier by trying to honor mom death in doing everything possible in the name of the "Greater Good".
it matches really well with her personality, even in the sense she denies doing bad things when they are tentatives at doing the "greater good", and going foward because the "This is bigger than you and me Roarke,in the end doesn't matter who we love or the people we care about because everyday millions born and dies and yadda yadda yadda" that she said that time...

I think that this actual mentality of her is her mind trying to cope with the guilt of doing this kind of thing...because she feels that she would break with she just agreed in her fault.

Just a theory...Just a theory

She grins impishly and winks, “You said that yesterday, you sly dog.” The audience laughs, she lets them, “So, let's cut to the chase. Have you seen the speech?” She looks at you, then chuckles when you stare at her blankly, “Be kind to him, folks, he's had a busy few days. According to our anonymous sources, his newest captive is a real firecracker!”

“More like a gamma bomb.” You joke, and the audience laughs further.

Gretchen makes a fingergun gesture at you, “You're the one who's eaten a reactor explosion to the face, so I'll take your word for it. Well, you watch the news to learn what's going on, and I figured you hadn't seen it, so let's roll the tape!”

>>49106862
Well, while those beams were damn impressive, the thing you have to remember is that the aquatic enviroment really helps them out. You need thicker armor to handle the pressure, but thanks to the water, it only helps it. The water also cools their lasers so they can actually fire them since zeon beam tech was still subpar. Basically, zeon beam weapons NEEDED water to work until you got to things like the Gelgoog.

>>49106916

You can see even in that fight, the Feddies probably had double digits of units onscreen and were getting wrecked by two Zeon mobile suits.

>>49106908

Oh, looks like some fresh bullshit right off the pasture.

Lets see what these jokers have to say today.

Hell it might even be the truth for once, wouldn't that be a treat?

HA! Thats makes sense, thanks.

>>49106862
>Aren't those GMs getting wrecked at the onset?
Yes, but I dont know what type of GM's they are. Could be GM ll's.

As for the aquatic mechs the early ones were water cooled. The Gogg and Acguy had ballasts to cool them so they could work outside water but after the water runs out its fucked. The z'gock just had a big ass fan.

>>49106893
Yeah but its only for the greater good if it WORKS. if you sacrifice a ace to win a battle to save a planet, and you LOSE THE BATTLE then your just a bitch.

You can't say you were the better choice and no what your doing when your plan goes wrong.

General Fairchild's face appears on the screen behind you. It looks stern and unforgiving, “...And so, in light of this flagrant attack on Mars, the Martian military, and Martian commerce, the Solar System League must with a heavy heart upgrade the status of the Avalonian threat from regional terrorists to an enemy nation. As of today, we are officially at war as a result of this unprovoked assault on the sovereignty of a League world.” The screen splits in half, the side-shot playing snippets from different planets showing the Avalonian mecha wielding these bizarre sorts of bayonet things like a lance with a built-in cannon on the topside, fighting Pumpkinseeds and Bluegills, “The Avalonians possess sophisticated mecha capabilities, which is no surprise because...” She pauses for dramatic effect, “...they are the thralls of what is believed to be the last surviving Green Man.” She pauses again to let her audience react, then barrels onward, “This evil, that we had thought consigned to the dustheap of history, has reared its head again. Even to the last of their kind, they have chosen to exert every drop of their strength in a futile attempt to enslave humanity. Like many of you, I have seen loved ones destroyed by this conflict, and have vowed never to endure the taint of the Green Men upon the galaxy again.”

[Continued]

>>49106937
Yeah, because feddies can't make a machine that won't die horribly. They have always been in favor of human wave tactics and tend to throw hundreds of machines into the fray. Hell, they had so many pilots they put pilots into BALLS during the one year war. The only way they won with the huge amount of casualties they had was because their sheer numbers choked the life out of them while the Gundam did it's job and killed shit.

She slams her fist down on her lectern, “We will not surrender! It has been nearly thirty years since an estimated two-thirds of humanity's galactic population was wiped out by the Great Sidereal War started by the Green Men! We, the Solar System League, refuse to dishonor the fallen by meekly handing over the worlds humanity has retaken to the slaves of a genetically engineered immortal monster! We will overcome! We will prevail! We must secure an existence in this galaxy for our children, and our children's children! Even as I speak, new and improved mecha are being created by the Martian Holy Militia, the UJCIDF, the Reformed Catholic Church, and independent mechbays across the Solar System. With every minute that passes, our armies swell, and the technology that goes into our forces increases.” There's a dramatic shot of a blue-painted Pumpkinseed II bearing down on one of the basic Avalonian mecha, dodging a clumsy thrust from its lance and reducing its head to a fused lump of sparking circuitry with one professional slash of its cyan-tinted beam rapier. You have to begrudgingly admit that it's a good bit of propaganda, using the newest descendant of the Bluegill line, painted blue and using a sword like Bluegill Joe, but you think it's slightly spoiled by the very visible gun in the mech's other hand.


“Our righteousness is so plain that even hardened evildoers are taking up arms in humanity's defense. Look! Even one of their vaunted Paladin arch-aces cannot stand against the might of Jovian engineering!” The split screen plays an entirely different bit of footage.

Avi has had time to resynch it. Bohemian Rhapsody is playing as soon as the ominous big, black mech with its imposing dual-shields mounted on its shoulders launches from its bay, the camera panning over its battle-scarred cuirass as it soars towards the taller blue and gold unit standing atop the damaged Avalonian ship. It shows the Paladin gesturing haughtily for the Kaiser to retreat, it shows your posture full of defiance. The blue unit charges, and the ballet of combat begins. Sparks fly through space as its double-ended beam sword slashes through your armor and your right arm pummels the Avalonian's shield before your left crushes its sword-arm's shoulder. You can hear gasps as the Avalonian leaps away, activating its drill bits and sending them soaring at you. You don't remember looking so cool and unruffled as you fight, crushing two of the drills despite the damage they inflict, and you're able to confirm that the drills and grinders that give your fist its armor-piercing qualities grind to a halt when you duck into the pursuing mech's attack and palmstrike its head clean off its shoulders. The Kaiser finally rips off the Anseis' other arm, and the footage ends.

"The Paladins are considered the elite of Avalon's elite. Each of these twelve pilots is a zealot sworn to the personal service of the Green Man leading their forces, genetically altered and reshaped into a living weapon. Although Avalon, thankfully, lacks the resources to produce bio-weapons such as were seen during the War, the mecha piloted by the Paladins represent the pinnacle of their technology. Each Paladin views themselves as genetically superior, as a creature that stands above mankind as mankind stands above apes, taught that human lives are something to simply crush underfoot at their convenience. Yet, here we see the hollow nature of their arrogance! This one met Admiral Starwind, and tasted the peril against which the UJCIDF has been tested."

She's the ranking Jupiter general in the system apparently, has a prototype starship that outclasses the Wels, has the power and money to surround herself with pretty young girls, took over SOUL, and gets to boss Bluegill Joe around. She's hardly ruined her own life.

>>49107138
I don't think she is "content", she sounds very stressed and openly sad most of time, and in the moments she is kind of happy is because of one momentaneous victory or because she is flirting with someone...

For me she looks like someone who is tormented by the past, and just carries on because "this is what have to be done and senpai would agree with me" or because if she stops for too long everything in her mind will just finally come all at once and she would not survive this.

and she doesn't think that she is losing, this would be to soon to give up just because roarke made her REEEE a few times and 2 or 3 investments ended up a failure because of him, don't forget that she plays in another escale, and even in other systems her plans spread...

so was that fair use, or can we push for a copyright strike?

Hah, silly Fairchild. Don't think I don't notice you playing up Roarke Starwind as a threat so you can justify an all-out war on him later! And to reveal we have a captive to make the masses clamor for her execution instead of keeping it on the down low.

She clears her throat, “...Although it would be a breach of normal regulations, the UJCIDF is pleased to report that we have opened up negotiations with Admiral Starwind to release the pilot of the enemy vessel into our custody. We remain confident that Admiral Starwind, despite his many flaws, is a solar patriot and will do the right thing by putting the pilot into our hands to face justice, so that they can no longer terrorize our worlds. Furthermore, we must credit the Iron Kestrels for rooting out the treachery of Commodore Rashad Abujamal, who abused his connections to sensitive information and leaked the location of the Suleiman 1 facility to the Green Skulls pirate fleet, likely as part of a bid to seize control over the asteroid belt. Our working hypothesis is that after the Green Skulls were driven away, he further soiled his rank and reputation by communicating with Avalon to erase the evidence of his misdeeds at Suleiman 1 by destroying the colony itself. Truly, the depravity of these inhuman servants of the Green Men is without bounds.” General Fairchild shakes her head with an air of frozen sorrow, "Rest assured, my office is doing everything in its power to ensure the safety and prosperity of the Solar System League. We will root out our enemies both foreign and domestic, and grind them beneath our heel." She smiles, and the footage ends.

Gretchen exhales, "Woo. Intense stuff. So, Roarke Starwind, let's start with some questions, shall we? I know you have some big announcements, but I think our viewers would like to hear, first, in your own words...what exactly were you doing on Mars, and what led you into your duel with the Paladin?"

"I caught wind of Rashad being a monster who killed his father in law and returned to collect my hostage from what was clearly a breach in our agreement. I don't tolerate mistreatment of my hostages, no matter who they are or who the hostage is. It doesn't hurt that Fatima was far too good for Rashad in the first place.

As for our duel with the Paladin... I am a pirate. I pirated."

Rolled 2 + 16 (1d10 + 16)

>>49107538
Maybe we should just seduce them

>>49107375
Well, for the first question, I am sure many recall my heist of a certain Martian Spaceship. One of the main hostages at the time was Miss Fatima herself. Now, the start was quite rocky, but I got to know her in time and learned quite a bit, especially about the late Rashad. When it came to negotiations, his actions seemed off and when I heard news of the wedding to be so soon after the funeral, alarms were ringing in my head. Now, I may be a pirate, but I am a pirate of morales, and I would make sure that not only would her wedding gift arrive on the scene, but that she was alright. Suffice to say, the situation was not good. So, I fought rashad twice. With my fists and then with my machine. Won both of them and now Rashad is now a black mark.

As for the second question, on our way off the planet to get Fatima the help she needed, we managed to notice the fight going off on the gate. Considering our mission, we decided to withdraw before the Paladin showed up. Not wanting to waste a step, we lured her to our base, challenged her to a duel, and as you saw, emerged victorious. Got to admit, that Avalonian ship will look nice in kestrel colors.

>>49107495
The dice have spoken.

>>49107402

By the way, do you want to mention Karen by name or leave her anonymous?

>>49107563
Leave her anonymous we don't want someone to try and poach the most defenseless waifu

>>49107563
were announcing the wedding right? if so yeah names fine.

>>49107563
lets leave her anonymous. She knows who she is.

>>49107574
Karen is also the most heavily guarded considering she never goes outside. She's safe.

Rolled 2, 10, 5, 8, 6, 9, 5, 9, 5, 4 = 63 (10d10)

"A dear friend of mine was getting married to an asshole, so I decided to crash the wedding, steal the gifts, and elope with the bride. turns out the groom was more of a dick than I thought. Very loud, too.
As for the Paladin, well, they needed a place to hide after the attack on Mars, so I brought them back home, then told them I wanted their ship as payment. they took exception to that."

"First, I think the General is giving Bucephalus Heavy Industries a little too much credit for my mech's construction. Although it uses a Thoroughbred MP frame, the bulk of its systems and the secret to its strength lies in the tireless labor of my extremely competent and beautiful mechanic. Without her, the Kaiser wouldn't be half the mech it is today." You hope Karen is watching this, she deserves the love.

Gretchen smiles, "That's really sweet. I mean that!"

"As for Mars, I'm sure you recall my heist of the Heart of the Sunshine, a Martian luxury liner bound for Europa?" You ask.

Gretchen nods, "Captained by one Mikail Uzun, correct?"

You nod, "Correct. The most profitable seizure of that voyage was Lady Fatima Ahmad herself. Now, we had an extremely rocky start, but we got to know each other in time and eventually came to enjoy our verbal sparring. Over the course of our conversations, I learned quite a lot about Martian culture and especially about the late Rashad. When it came time for us to negotiate, his actions seemed...off."

"Off how?" Gretchen leans forward a little. Her large chest presses against her desk distractingly, but you're on a roll and can't be distracted by hardball questions and soft breasts.

"He seemed extremely unconcerned with her well-being, but without question agreed to pay a ridiculous sum for her return. Without haggling. Nonetheless, Fatima is an honorable woman and wanted to do her duty, so...I let her go. I wish, sometimes, that I hadn't, and spared her what happened next...but I couldn't take her honor so lightly." You sigh heavily, "I realized what had happened when almost immediately after her return her father abruptly died under mysterious circumstances, and then it was announced that the wedding would happen very shortly regardless. Why haggle when you know you're about to become the richest landowner on Mars, after all?"

Oda and Master Asia would be pretty good for Commentary

>>49107747
yeah over the top reaction from Oda and hard combat reads from Asia with some good ol martial arts mysticism.
also
>captcha asks for street signs; its a mail box.

>>49107747
It's more so Sammy's Bro can serve as Oda's straight man. Master Asia can serve as professional commentary, though it'd probably be along the lines of "Not enough punching."

>>49107764
You forgot the part where he shits on any mech that doesn't only use hand to hand

>>49107769
I think Asia could be his straight man, he would probably get fed up with Oda and how Oda would be constantly talking about how he's just like his animes

"Now I am a pirate, and everyone should remember that." You lean forward, and look directly at the camera, "I am a thief, a brawler, and a kidnapper. In spite of this, I have my morals. I don't tolerate mistreatment of my hostages, no matter who they are or who does the mistreating." You hope General Fairchild keeps those words well in mind, "On top of this, Fatima was always much too good for that puffed-up buzzard, so I decided to handle things directly. I went to Mars to confront him."

Gretchen nods, "I asked some questions, almost as soon as you announced the voyage the general consensus among your crew was that you didn't trust Rashad...and some of them also say Fatima was quite special to you? Confirm or deny?" She twirls one of her twintails around her fingertip as she talks.

You smile, looking just slightly abashed, "Confirmed. It didn't start out that way, and both of us were determined not to besmirch her honor, but...I couldn't see her get hurt and not do anything."

Gretchen nods, "So you went to Mars. You, a pirate, went to one of the most militarized planets in the galaxy."

You grin, "Little fish can find holes in big nets, I infiltrated the planet, crashed the wedding, and discovered that Rashad was using a modified HMIS developed by the Green Skulls to control their female captives to keep Fatima docile." Despite your expression, you can hear the anger creeping into your voice, "So I broke up the party, stole the bride and all the gifts, and I beat that son of a bitch to a pulp with my fists and remanded him into General Fairchild's custody to face charges." You pause for one...two...three heartbeats, "I wonder how he escaped from her?"

"I hope we find out." Gretchen remarks.

You nod, "It would be interesting to know, wouldn't it? At any rate, Rashad wanted a rematch in his mech. The footage is all up on the holonet, but suffice to say that Commodore Rashad Abujamal ended the fight as a black smear on the surface of Mars."

"As I was leaving the planet, taking advantage of the battle to escape, I was approached by a certain Countess of Avalon, Loriette Marie le Kennedy. New to the solar system and captaining a badly damaged ship, she mistook us for cargo-haulers and requested guidance to a safe port." You shrug eloquently, "Such was her haste that she forgot to ask what the service charge was. Alas, when she discovered upon meeting up with my fleet that it would be the seizure of her ship, its mecha complement, and her own person for ransom...she took it quite poorly. Being a polite sort of man, I accepted her challenge and fought her in single combat. It was a splendid battle." Your teeth glitter as you smile in remembrance. "Kestrels fans can keep an eye out for that ship in our upcoming videos, I'm sure it will look smashing in black and white."

Gretchen nods, "What do you have to say about the General's speech? Are you planning to hand over your hostage to the UJCIDF?"

>[What say?]

>>49107892

Three of those are already in use (not counting Domon).

You've encountered all three in some way or another over the course of this quest

>>49107906

Caesar is fit as fuck he had Clemmy and Stern teaching him to fight.

>>49107944
Depends on if they're offering more than the other guys. It also depends on if they're gonna do something horrible like crucify her on live TV; I may be a pirate, but I do have a conscience.

>>49107944
>Well I'm not sure yet, there are plenty of people interested in the Countess and my mother always taught me to listen to all sides before I made a decision. And as far as the Generals speech goes its just more rhetoric to frighten the masses up to give her more power. Let it be known that as long as I'm alive I won't tolerate a Greenman in the same system as I am

>>49107944
"Potentially. What people like the general keep focusing on is her allegiance to a Green Man. They do not seem to consider that she is a thinking, feeling human. I'm trying to keep that in mind. I do not savor the idea of handing over a human being to a woman who has already sworn to see her literally crucified, live on the air. None the less, I'll be accepting multiple offers for her, and deciding on which one to accept. We'll see if the UJCIDF's offer is interesting enough for me to consider."

>>49107892
Speaking of now is a excellent time to introduce the tutors for the mech styles we DONT have.

You know, Clint Eastwood, etc.

>>49107944
"All interested parties will be given advanced notice to put their offers on the table."

>>49107978
Caesar is pudgy as shit.

>>49107944
"Depends on what they do to her. Knowing Fairchild, she's gonna try something stupid like make a martyr of her, which would achieve nothing but enrage and embolden the enemy."

>>49107978

This is true. Caesar is a NEET out of personality rather than body type.

>>49107944
Not that easily. I believe that all sides shhould have a go at the Paladin. While the General's offer may be good, I could possibly get the same amount and weaken the warchest of the Avalonians in a fell swoop. That way she can use that money to help the war effort while the Avalonias will be out that amount themselves, giving the UJCIDF a breather. She may be a ace, but it's the everyman who determines your capabilities. Like that Blue Pumpkinseed. Not a bad shot.

>>49107962
Pffff, there's no mystery.

It's obviously Haruyuki,Rikka and Ingrid 0!

NOT

>>49107944
>Only if they outbid the competition.

>>49108052
Seconding THIS.

This doesn't go too long implying things and sounds reasonable.

And Amos deserves some prestige.

>>49108074
Yes, but we can't be everywhere. We can't conquer planets on our own or take on the Green Skulls on our own. We had our ships and our crew with us. We are a Ace Killer, but there's still your normal pilots too.

>>49107962
Serious now... I think it was Ramba Ral,Violate(No doubt) and Quattro(CCC).

Ramba Ral was the pilot of the Heart of Sunshine, no?

Beatrix could be what Clemmy were to be... Only more smart and not so suicidal.

>>49108101
Like those brave mooks that came with us to take the Tarrasque.

>>49108101

"Not so easily. I believe that all sides should have the chance to make me an offer. While the General's offer may be good, I could possibly get the same amount and weaken the warchest of the Avalonians in a fell swoop. That way she can use that money to help the war effort while the Avalonias will be out a significant chunk of credits themselves, giving the UJCIDF a breather. She may be a ace, but it's the everyman who determines your capabilities. Like that blue Pumpkinseed II. Not a bad shot." You smile winningly.

"Interesting sentiment, from a man who's fought hordes of everymen and won, a man who practically defines the ideal of the eccentric ace." Gretchen winks.

You laugh, "Please, no matter how strong I am, I'm only one man. The Iron Kestrels are the dominant force in the asteroid belt thanks to the talents of many exceptional individuals and the hard work of hundreds of pilots and crew. On the matter of the Countess, incidentally, some of the rhetoric I've heard disturbs me greatly. I sincerely hope General Fairchild, for instance, was joking when she suggested crucifying her live on JNN. Such a barbaric and inhumane act goes entirely against my principles and would automatically disqualify the UJCIDF's offer regardless of how generous it is. Much has been made of the fact that the Countess has sworn allegiance to the Green Men. They do not seem to consider that she is a human being, with the same thoughts, fears, and emotions as any one of us. While it's true she has been genetically modified, such modifications seem mostly medical in nature. If you saw her in a crowd, you would just note that she is a highborn woman. So long as I am alive, I will not under any circumstances tolerate the presence of an actual Green Man in this system...but we must not succumb to fear, one of the most terrible weapons the Green Men possessed was the power to manipulate the human mind. This woman is a victim of a twisted ideology, not a monster."

[Continued]

>>49108189
I agree in they being memorable, so who do you think that are the other's 2?

But if i remember right, he didn't use an anime image for the captain, so he could still be Ramba...

>>49108301
No idea

"What do you think you'll do with the reward?" Gretchen asks, steepling her fingers contemplatively.

You shrug, "I won't know until I know what it is. Ideally, I would like to bring more colonies under my protection. The incident at Suleiman 1 has shown us that the UJCIDF and Holy Militia, however well-intentioned, cannot police the entire asteroid belt. Nor should they have to. That's just a pipe dream for now, though."

"Ooh, an ambitious man." Gretchen pretends to fan herself, "So, about those big announcements..."

"Two, really." You hold up two fingers. "I'll save the best for last, so I'll start with the less important one. It's been a big year for the Iron Kestrels. We've been through loss, pain, anger, sorrow, rebirth, triumph, and above all else...we've grown. As a celebration, we will be holding a mech tournament on Auditorium as part of a recruiting drive for the Iron Kestrels, in the interests of picking up new talent and new aces."

"When will the tournament be?" Gretchen asks.

"At the New Years Concert, a little over three months from now." You confirm.

"Maybe I'll participate, can you tell us a little more about the rules?" She bats her eyelashes.

"Yes, of course..." You glance surreptitiously down at some notes Karen put together for you, and go into detail about the structure of the tournament, the rules, and the specifications on which mecha are allowed entry. "...The entry fee is ten thousand credits, or one's mech as collateral. I hope everyone displays the fire of their souls."

She whistles, "That's clever. I hope a lot of my fans watching this plan to be there, to watch or participate."

"Likewise." You agree.

"As for your second announcement, we'll find out what it is when we get back from commercial." She smiles cutely at the camera.

[Continued...but what do you want to say on the subject of your upcoming nuptials?]

>>49108598

Custom mook mechs are doable, but mass-producing them would be a lot easier with a few more colonies.

We shouldn't have said it was a recruiting drive, we should have been doing that in the shadows

>>49108598
Sometime ago we were trying to make something up... but the question is, do you players believe we shoul make something from zero(or close to it) or adapt an existent mecha?
And if the first, do we have technology for that?

New idea, lets adapt de Bluegill, he is already getting out of use and becoming obsolete, but is a memorable symbol in the minds of people and yadda yadda, why not creating a Bluegill II? Lets call it something strong, and good echoing... something that inspires awe and the will to throw stone at your enemies... Like...

The Zaku!

>>49108662
Boy we started with a harpy, our papa used harpy.

And by gum a harpy is what we will stay with. Lets just make a harpy 2 upgrade pack.
