Nice to see you back up and running Wong, quick question is Jewdough and his family still on auditorium?

Glad to see you're back!

You had fun at the beach, but the sun is setting and Fatima's just sent you a holomail. Most people prefer text messages, but some are a little more old-fashioned. You swipe your thumb over the holographic screen and select the icon, and a hand-high holo of the Martian woman appears. She has on a traditional scarlet dress to go with her headscarf, and she curtsies prettily, “Dinner is ready, darling husband-to-be. I thought it would be nice if we ate in my quarters instead of in the mess hall, for once.” She smiles as the message ends.

That really does sound nice, although with between five and seven women in your life, you eat at the mess hall a lot less than you used to, and haven't had time to visit the Rhinehawk's bar in a while. You make a mental note to do that, it's good to spend time with your people. Not just for their sake, but for yours, you can't let this newfound celebrity taint the person you are.

You knock on the door, and she calls out to you, “Roarke? Come in...” Her voice is smooth and rich as silk, her Martian accent even more intriguing than it is when it has the hard edge you're used to beneath. Inside, the room is lit with real candles, little tea-lights in glass jars that cast glittering highlights off the small assortment of variously-sized rifles hung prominently on the walls. You know that the candles come from gift shops on Auditorium, and aren't genuine Martian like the rich rugs covering the floor and the tapestries on the walls, but who cares? You recognize at least a few of the rugs as being from the Heart of the Sunshine and wonder how she got them back from Rosita, but overall, the décor is tastefully exotic. Just like the woman waiting for you at a low table set on the floor. There are no chairs, just soft cushions for sitting, and you take a seat, feeling just a tiny bit out of place. Fatima is radiantly beautiful tonight, and it's not just because she's obviously gone through some trouble to dress up for you, her eyes are shining and her smile is warmer than the sun, “Let me pour the wine, husband-to-be. You have had a stressful time, no? Let that pass, all is well now.” She purrs, serving you. Sometimes, it's hard to believe that this is the same woman who once screamed implications that your parents were a pig and a dog at you. She smiles happily, practically giggling, “I am so lucky, I thought your work would keep you too busy for me.”

On and off. He needs to keep working to feed his daighters, and you and Red Siren have had a lot of call for his scrap, which is good because he's a bit understandably nervous about going back to California Station or spending long periods on Griggspont after Cassius busted him out of impound on Europa.

>>691704
Next chance we get can we go talk to him about joining our crew? And can we bring Athene, she probably hasn't gotten a chance to play with any kids her age in a long while

>>691714
Might be better just to have him as a associate. We are going to need a good amount of trade and supplies anyways, so even scavvies will be useful for their scrap.

>>691714

There are enough kids on Auditorium that she's been able to spend time with other children.

You shake your head, “Impossible, I wouldn't let that happen. You're much too tasty for me not to grab a bite.”

She giggles in earnest, “Shameless wolf! After dinner! Tonight is for us...but first, let us eat, drink, and talk.” She looks at the plate and frowns, “I could have sworn I made one more kebab than this. You don't suppose one of your servants got into the food, do you?”

“Hm, I really couldn't say.” You remark as neutrally as possible, momentarily wishing you had your sunglasses. You really can't say, because your life would be considerably harder if Miles got into a sniper duel with Fatima. Regardless of who won. Miles might have the morality and personality of a particularly amoral stoat, but she's a natural at working the streets and gathering information, and bizarrely talented at handling paperwork. In another life, she might have made a truly superb politician...but thankfully the galaxy has been spared from Planetary Chairwoman Miles Longshadow and she's an Iron Kestrel instead. On top of that, she's dating Richard, and despite the fact that he's the kindest and most empathetic person you know, if she was hurt he would surely enter one of his berserker rages.

Fatima's dark eyes narrow slightly, and she picks up a kebab and wags it at you, “Honestly, my wolf. I know they're your friends, but you are a lord now even if no government acknowledges it. Your servants must have some discipline, or they will dishonor you.” She smiles, “Don't worry, I'll take care of it. I often took a personal hand in training and managing the domestic staff on my father's estate, and pirates are not much different, they just need a louder voice and a larger beam cannon backing it up. I've already set up a schedule for regular patrols in case the Countess' people decide it would be easier to assault the colony and take her back by force. They love to talk about honor, but words are just creatively-shaped wind unless backed up with actions. Say 'Aah'!” She smiles brilliantly.

“Aah.” You reply, obediently. It's a lot easier than working out whether you should stop her from bullying the Iron Kestrels.

She feeds you the kebab. The meat is juicy and cooked to perfection, the peppers and onions lightly blackened and quite tasty, “This angle is a little awkward, perhaps...perhaps it would be better if you put your head in my lap? Come here, let me take care of you.” She eats a kebab contemplatively, her pink tongue curling around the wooden stick as she scoots back from the table and pats her thigh.

>[Smile and nod]
>[Protect the rookies from Fatima's discipline]

>>691781

Just to be clear, this choice is about telling her not to put the fear of Allah into the newcomers in a way that would qualify her for Drill Sergeant of the Year or not.

>>691802

Or letting her do it, I mean. For some reason my grammar was shit on that post.

Incidentally, there were a ton of questions on the last thread, I noticed activity all the way up until yesterday. If there's anything you want to ask, I'm more likely to see it if you ask it here now that I'm back.

Sounds good enough, backing

>you are now remembering that before we went to lori to get information about the megabass
Have Flint and Beckingham just been sitting around waiting for us this whole time after we told them to get ready?

>>691881
Beckingham is probably sitting their talking about nature and how its being destroyed while Flint resists the urge to shoot him

>>691853
For a single scavvie transport ship? Not really. The thing is, you assume that manpower and weaponry will help us, but we also need connections. People who will be willing to trade with us, get us materials and supplies we need. I was not talking about money so much as providers of all those things we need to make our plans work. After all, the big corps are not going to like us, so getting every single supplier we can is a absolute must.

>>691890
Your right anon we do need those, but they won't matter if we can't survive the attack the Solar navy is going to do. We're going to jump up to public enemy number one since we're cutting off a major trade route and taking land from the solar league while their at war with an outside power. They'll probably even start throwing around that we're traitors to sol and use the fact we didn't kill Lori against it.

"I trust you, just don't be too hard on them. They joined me in part because they wanted to live a life outside the law." You comply, relaxing and resting your head on her soft but well-muscled thighs. She looks delighted, and continues feeding you kebabs, which you both wash down with the occasional sip of wine. You're not normally much for wine, beer or scotch are your usual go-tos, but this is nice. She strokes your hair, humming softly to herself and looking more happy than you've ever seen her, so for a while you just eat.

“I don't think she would go with them if they tried to take her back by force, either. Lori-the Countess took our duel and her honor seriously.” You remark after a while.

Fatima's smile falters slightly, “You mean that she has been charmed by you. What happened with you removing your shirt has been whispered about by every girl on the Rhinehawk. Including your other fiancees.” She sighs and shakes her head, “Such a wolf. Such a brigand. Such a dear. I will not argue with you about that, instead let me tell you what my people's government said to me.” She puffs up with pride, placing a hand on her bosom, “You will be proud of me, I assure you. First, they tried to use my father's colonies as an opening bid to trade for the girl, but I was sharp with them! Those are my father's lands, and when we are married they will belong to you by right, I will not have my darling Roarke sold camels that are already in his herd!” Her smile turns deservedly smug, “And I have their agreement duly recorded so that there can be no clever little tricks to try and deprive you of Suleiman 2, 3, or 4. They are simple mining towns with limited facilities to take care of your fleet, but the people there are good, honest, and hardworking. Treat them well, and they will treat you well.”

Oh, ask her how the interview with the rest of the girls went. See what questions they asked too.

“How could I do otherwise? I have a duty to protect everyone who works for me. My first and most sacred duty.” You remark, earning yourself a fiercely affectionate grin from the Martian princess and a kiss on the forehead.

“Just so, best beloved. Naturally, I cannot negotiate entirely in your stead or do anything binding, but I was able to prevail upon the Caliph...who is a kind and just ruler you would do well to befriend and take counsel from...as the daughter of one of his close friends that these negotiations should be fair and aboveboard. He agreed wholeheartedly. Rashad's treachery was a black mark upon the valiant name of Mars, and many who were at the wedding speak in admiring tones of your valor and courage. You may call yourself a pirate, but you are well-liked on the red planet. Many folk heroes get their start as men of low birth, after all.” She feeds you another kebab, “Caliph Hakim is anxious to erase that stain through fair dealing.”

“It's not him I'm worried about.” You grumble.

Her eyes widen slightly, "You're more aware than I thought. Yes, that's excellent, you already know the Avalonians can't be trusted. Consider the unthinkable, unknowable creature guiding their actions, and the murky depths of its brain. Who knows what monstrous stratagem it is right now composing to punish you for defeating one of its champions?"

"Or recruit me as a Paladin." You remark drily, "But I was really..."

She cuts you off with a squeal, "Roarke! You're so smart! Yes, exactly! Since you defeated her champion, the Green Man will replace her with you! It makes so much sense!"

"Well, she did mention it to me, but..." You try to cut in, but there is a deep racial fury blazing in Fatima's eyes.

"Of course she did! That witch wants to steal you from me, but by Allah I shall NOT let her!" She declares, "I won't see my beloved brainwashed, not when you saved me from the same fate! No, I will annihilate EVERY LAST PALADIN with my Tarrasque, improved by Karen's engineering and supported by my other new sisters, before I let that happen! We will ride over them like a herd of wild horses, and grind their bones beneath the foot servos of our joint forces! Inshallah, I will be the one to stamp on the Green Man's throat at last!" Zeal blazes in her eyes.

You haven't even had the chance to tell her who you REALLY don't trust to play fair...

Quick question, is it cheese to have a Mech that has a MA14, MV-2 and a 9K quick AP melee weapon?

>>691991

How do you justify it being as light as a Harpy?

>>691982

Damn it /m/.

>>692021
That reminds me, Wong whats the limit to stats for our mechs pilot?

>>691912
Ahhh, but thats the thing; we don't exactly have to close down all paths or trade routes. Even pirates picked a country or land that they support so they would have some support and would not attack their ships. With what Fatima said, that can be easily done.

All we need to do is serve as a sort of privateer force for Mars. Their ships can come and go along with any transports that pay fees for travelling our lands and we can assist against those who come through the belt. If Mars likes us, it makes it very hard for Jupiter to go straight at us.

>Simon gets it in his head to enter the tournament to get closer to the image in his head of his role model
>Is surprised to see a good quarter of the competitors are people he personally knows from the UJCIDF
>Of which half are blatant defectors and the other half are blatant spies
>The other three-quarters are assorted pirates, Avalonians and otherwise inexplicably unheard-of aces who somehow crawled out of the woodwork
>Their mechs all have ridiculously obscene amounts of verniers attached

What's the tolerance for stolen SOUL machines and Avalonians/UJCIDF spies hoping to earn Roarke's ear and sway his opinion on taking sides in the coming war anyway?

>>692156
If their spies we get whatever info we can out of them, then maroon them on an asteroid

>>692021
Verniers? Just the basic only though.

>>692141
Wong what's your view on a AC type mech?

Samantha for head wife! Vote for Sam!
I want to add Lori to the harem, I am sure the girls would understand but it's clear how some of them feel about the Avalonions

>>692156
>verniers

Not once I'm done fixing them they won't, and I can't guarantee I'll add anything to make up for the lost points, so relying on verniers is a REALLY bad idea.

>stolen SOUL machines

Absolutely forbidden. The ideal tournament mech would be a modded version of an existing mech or something built in a backcolony garage by scavvies or pirate wannabes.

...I'm not a huge fan of snowflake characters for the tourney. Brazilanon did a good job with his chuuni Storm Dragon rookie, unless she had some giant angsty backstory I missed.

"I was actually more worried about the Jovians." You finally get the chance to interject.

"Yes, my jihad against Avalon would be both extremely personal and eminently righteous. I would sweep the infidels from the system, I would set Avalon ablaze, I would laugh as I burned holes in their antiquated mecha, I would...what?" She frowns, "The Jovians? Your own people? You're more worried about them than Avalon?"

You grunt, "General Fairchild loathes me with every fiber of her being and was trying to screw me over even before I stole her crush. The only times she's even pretended not to want to see me eaten alive by rabid weasels was when she was trying to convince me to let her crucify Loriette live on JNN. The woman is a monster."

Fatima sighs, looking a little dejected, "Oh darling, sometimes I forget how many enemies you have. There, there. At least I can be reasonably sure that this narrows your choices down. Mars will be a good friend to you, if you let it. Maybe we can even jihad together, as husband and wife, driving the Avalonians before us with the fires of our love...it would be nice, would it not?" She smiles and tousles your hair, before daintily picking up a kebab by the end of its skewer and taking a bite, "Mmm. Not bad, considering I cooked these myself."

"Not bad at all, but really, I think the best course is to remain neutral. Not all of the Avalonians are monsters. Don't you at least want to hope for peace, Fa? We only just got our happy ending, why rush into a war so soon?" You ask.

She shakes her head, "There is no rushing. They brought this war to us, by arming and supporting anti-Solar elements on the worlds we were trying to bring back into the fold, then fomenting unrest and, when Solar forces moved in to restore order, using it as an excuse to 'liberate' those planets with their own armies. And that's just what they've done outside their own system." She points the kebab skewer like a sword, "As far as I'm concerned, anyone who can serve a Green Man is a monster."

"Loriette isn't that bad." You protest, "She doesn't like the fighting either."

"No." She ripostes, "But that did not stop her from slaughtering my kin at the Gate of Mars. I've seen the footage on the news. May the brave souls who sacrificed their lives to injure her ship and damage two of her drones be seated at the side of Allah in paradise, peace be upon them all."

"I've killed at least a few Martians." You point out, "One of them was the head of your bodyguards when I kidnapped you. She was a soldier in a time of war, she did her duty. Please, Fatima, let it go. You're so much prettier when you smile." You sit up, wrap an arm around her waist, and kiss her through her initial attempt at an indignant reply, then for several long moments afterwards.

Alright. Here's the final word on verniers. I should have done this ages ago, but it's my own fault people didn't get the hint to stop exploiting them or listen when I talked about how they're rare.

You may not use more than 1 rank of verniers on a tourney mech. You may not reduce the MV of a mech past -2.

Nothing. AND EVERYTHING!

To be fair I am working on a different model of Cardinal, taking the verniers out from it and giving it a ASP. The extra space means more thrusters so I could possibly get this thing to 14, maybe 15 MA.

She looks a little dizzy when you release her, hugging you tight and resting her cheek on your shoulder, "I will watch her closely." She vows, but without her usual bite to it, "And at the first sign of treachery, I will..." She trails off, apparently aware that she's too happy to sound menacing.

"I know. I rely on you to be yourself." You tell her, "How did things go with the other girls?"

She smiles, "It was a lot of fun, we had a lovely chat, and everyone was open enough from being forced to sit down next to each other without you distracting them that I was able to observe them easily. Karen and Rosita have both known you for ages, are intensely jealous of each other, and have been bitter rivals for so long that they've started to enjoy it. Each sometimes feels that she can't match up to the other and overcompensates to make up for it, but they wouldn't admit it under any circumstance." She pauses for effect, then adds, wryly, "This is Samantha's assessment, which she told me beforehand. She quite likes both of them, and they quite like her. The same is true of Alice...or Clemmy, as she's insisting I call her. However, although they both want Karen and Rosita to get along, your two Jovian military girls...they do not trust each other in the slightest. Clemmy seems to expect Samantha to poison her, and Samantha seems to expect Clemmy to snap into a berserk rage at any moment. Both are heartily prepared to fight each other and think that they are protecting you from a devious menace. Both might be right, but I doubt it. Samantha because she's too level-headed most of the time, and Clemmy because apparently during the culmination of a plan she proudly described as 'beating up all the Harpies, then Red Siren, then my Roarky', Red Siren's Archen shot down her mech. The shock made her reconsider her original intention not to share you with anyone and possibly kidnap you so you could join a SOUL squad. Rosita was tremendously smug about that, but she deserves to be. Her mech may be ostentatious to the point of being gross..."

"I like the Archen." You object.

"...by Martian standards, and I'm thankful that yours was rebuilt by Karen, who favors a more martial aesthetic, but I just can't help liking her. For a pirate and the self-proclaimed 'Princess of Space', she's a dear girl with an honest heart. I feel sorry for thinking so unkindly of her when we first came to Auditorium."

Fatima takes a sip of wine to wet her throat, "For that matter, I like all of them. Karen immediately wanted to help me improve the Tarrasque, even though I said some unkind things to her when I was a prisoner, Samantha is a sweet and loyal girl and remarkably wise when you aren't part of the equation and her big heart gets the better of her, and Clemmy...Clemmy I admire as a warrior. She is extremely fierce, and lives very honestly. If I had to choose one sister to stand with me on the battlefield, it would be her. I floated your idea of making me head wife to them."

"Did I make that decision?" You ask, rubbing the back of your head, "I was a little distracted holding you at the time. Either way, you're the one."

She laughs and pushes your chest gently, "Rogue. It took some explaining, which was difficult when all three of the others were keeping Clemmy from gouging out my eye with the memory nanofiber monoblade she uses as a belt. Physically holding her back with the point about this far from my eye and my back against the wall." She holds her fingertips an inch or so apart, "As I said, fierce. I explained to them that being head wife isn't a mark of favor, more of a big sister's role in the group. Mediating disputes, settling grievances, that sort of thing. Since none of them particularly dislike me, it seems to work out alright. I also made the case that the position of head wife entails being your second in battle, and that since your Knuckle Kaiser will usually be at the front of any formation and my Tarrasque at the rear, it's unlikely we would ever be simultaneously incapacitated." She smiles warmly, "My father believed strongly that every Martian of good birth should have a thorough understanding of tactics in the event of another war. They approved on the condition that they could vote en-masse to veto me."

Sorry for the delays, I accidentally deleted my post while making the chart.

I find the fact that you actually made a chart hilarious.

>>692685
they do both have a certain flair to them, heh imagine red getting lori to try on some of her outfits and sing karaoke.

>>692669
wait are we still trying to add Lori to the harem or is she a lower tier waifu like Grechen.

>>692700
I think we're trying to add her but she's stuck in a sort of limbo like when we had Fatima

>>692700
Lori to harem.

>>692700

Lori merits a spot on the virtue of the fact that how the others feel about her is important.

>>692685

Rosita knows what it's like to be hunted. Also what it's like to be aristocratically smug.

>>692708
Sounds like some cookie cutter anime.

>>692700
I'd still like to add her, just the weddings already coming up and adding her after that wouldn't be fair, gonna have to work at it I guess.

>>692717
Since the ransom is happening then too I doubt we'll fit her into the wedding. We'll just have to marry her later if it comes to that.

So anons any inventive ideas for Kaiser upgrades?

>>692706
>>692708
And do you guys think that would be a good idea in the long run. After seeing the chart the situation seems a little less hopeless but come on guys, we already got 5 beautiful ladies we are about to marry, most of which hate her guts. And not for petty female jealousy either. They have actual moral and racially charged issue with the girl.
It just seems like a whole lot of drama that can be avoided if we just keep her out of the harem.
But thats just my opinion. Maybe everyone here loves that romantic drama bullshit but i like to keep the girls as stable and happy as possible so we can focus on other things.
Like being a Mecha Space Pirate.

>>692717
>>692727
I can agree with this
Although as long as Fairchild dosnt get her hands on her Im fine with giving her back to Avalon or the Martians.

>>692745
Thing is when Roarke cares about someone he'll fight to the ends of the universe for them. And once again I can see the waifus calming down if Lori deserts from Avalon to join Roarke and fights against the Lady. Will that happen, who knows?

"That sounds sensible." You agree.

"Mhm. So, I heard something about preparations for a raid...?" She looks at you expectantly.

"In the morning." You clarify, "That should give Flint and Beckingham enough time to sober up their forces and make sure their mecha are voidworthy before we launch. Also it should give Oda enough time to get over not coming along this time, the new crews need some experience working together."

She grins, "That's my best beloved talking. Yes, making sure that all of your soldiers are battle-ready is a fine thing to do. Besides, it gives someone besides Red Siren the chance to fight alongside you, something we have all been cruelly denied..." She runs a fingertip down the center of your chest, then stands up with a smile, "Lokum, dear? I thought something sweet would go down well as dessert."

"What's lokum?" You inquire.

She tilts her head to the side, "You are adorable. It used to be called Turkish delight, back on Mother Terra. It's a light, sweet confection that's very popular on Mars. It's homemade, you'll love it. Otherwise you can spank me."

"What if I want to spank you anyway?" You object, as she gets the sweets out of the cold storage box.

"Then it is your right." She settles beside you, the two of you sharing the dessert. Finally, when you're both finished, she looks shyly at you, and places her hand on top of yours, "Roarke, I know...I know I am a well-bred girl, and...and there are things that are expected. However, you are not Martian, so our customs are not always the same, so maybe it would be alright if we...if we..." Her cheeks turn red, and as she squeezes your fingers her other hand grasps your belt buckle, "If we did not wait three whole months to consummate this. I want to make you happy, and I want you, I want you so badly it hurts. Some nights, I can't sleep, burning beneath my sheets as I think about you. I need you. I need your arms around me and your voice in my ears, I need your skin on mine and your body...I...oh Roarke, please do not torture me any longer, give me what I want! I know I am being shameful and demanding, but...but I will be a good, proper wife in every other way, just indulge me in this. Let me have you tonight, please?" She bites her lower lip, her chest rising and falling like the Confederation of United Star Systems.

It reflects how she sees the situation, that you might refuse her because "that's not proper". I fully expected you'd go for it, but it demonstrates the kind of girl she is.

>>692770

"Yes. Tonight and many, many other nights to come." You promise her, and her eyes light up like the aurora borealis you've seen on Species of Earth.

Your clothes come off, and you discover quickly that she is an absolute virgin, even moreso than Karen...who has a mechanic's vivid imagination and an extensive knowledge of holonet pornography...was. Despite that, she's fiercely eager, and after the slightly awkward, giggly foreplay she howls like a banshee when her cherry is plucked. She gasps out a hundred things you don't understand in Arabic, yet grasp immediately from the context, months of sexual tension released suddenly like a spring as her limbs tangle around you and the sheets enfold the pair of you. Tears escape her eyes as she clings to you, murmuring your name again and again, and when at last the fire is spent she cuddles with you with vividly fervent longing and the two of you collapse into the sweetest sleep imaginable.

The next morning, you're awakened by a call on your PC.

Expecting Miles or another of your crew, you answer it, but much to your surprise it isn't one of the Iron Kestrels.

It's Captain Noah Flint of the Stone Soldiers, wearing a camouflage-patterned bathrobe and sitting at a small table presumably in the mess hall aboard his ship, the Browning. He looks well-rested, freshly-shaved, and as sharp as a razor.

"Rise and shine, boss! We're all ready to go. All gear up to spec, the boys thirsty for some proper pirate work, and..." He looks more closely at you, rumpled and with your hair disheveled and wearing only a blanket, with Fatima half-covered and still asleep in bed next to you. Then he smirks and whistles, "Hoo-rah, sir. Hey everyone! The boss got some Red Planet sugar, let's give him a cheer!"

"HOO-RAH!" A chorus of voices echo in deafening tandem from the background.

"SIR WELL DONE SIR!"

"CONGRATULATIONS ON CONQUERING MARS, SIR!"

"GLAD YOU GOT THE RANSOM AND YOUR HOSTAGE BOTH, SIR! FUCK THE PEOPLE WHO SAY YOU CAN'T HAVE YOUR LOKUM AND EAT IT TOO, SIR!"

There's a sound of fists pounding on tables, along with laughter. Fatima grumbles in her sleep and buries her head under the pillow.

"Daaaarling~ I made waffles for you~ And bacon~! And scrambled eggs~! Eat up, you've got a big day ahead, don't you snugglewumpus~?" A woman with a long, dark ponytail and generously soft curves, a few years younger than Flint and a lot less rough-looking, enters the field of vision, kissing the gruff Captain of the Stone Soldiers on the cheek and setting a plate in front of him, "Your uniform is all nicely washed and pressed, nice, straight creases~ Oh, and I cleaned your guns, and-oh my~!" She peers at the screen, "Is that the Admiral, dear~? And his princess from Mars~? Hiiiii! I'm Rachel, but you can just call me Mrs. Flint~!" She tuts, "Dear, the poor things just woke up, couldn't you wait?"

"Time and tide waits for no man, woman!" Flint barks cheerfully.

She tsks, "Well, it'll wait for this one. Eat your breakfast, buster, THEN bother the Admiral." She reaches over and firmly turns the PC off, terminating the call.

Well, there's no hope of getting any more sleep after that. You wake Fatima up, but she mumbles at you and throws a pillow at your head, "I don't think I can walk right now, give me some time, I'll be awake soon..." She promises before falling back asleep, so you wash up, get dressed, and head to the bridge.

A quick call to the Browning and Harmonium assures you that both ships are prepped for launch, and Avi gives you a thumbs-up when you ask if the same is true for the Rhinehawk while he chugs his morning cocoa.

"This is it, boys. Let's knock the rust off and see if the newcomers can roll with the rest of the fleet. Rhinehawk, launch!" You bellow, and the bridge crew salutes, Avi inputting the coordinates.

Space bends, and your three ships fold void and make for 16-Psyche.

You emerge out of the gate and immediately grab the thermos of coffee out of the captain's seat cupholder. The warmth of the dark, bitter brew helps to settle your stomach, which is a good thing, because what you're seeing unsettles it vigorously. Namely the fact that you aren't alone, and that this milk run might have curdled vigorously.

16-Psyche herself wouldn't look like much to someone who doesn't know asteroids. A small habitation colony orbits around a rotund ball of pale grey stone. Sure, Psyche's a big girl as far as asteroids go, smooth and rounded compared to the bulbous elongated lizard-egg of Suleiman 1's asteroid or the misshapen chunks of rock you're used to seeing, a few examples of which are floating nearby. Your instruments, though, tell you that this aspiring core to an aborted planetoid doomed never to become a full member of the Solar System family is almost entirely iron, and your scanners show the remains of old mining operations dug like termite mounds into the surface. There's clear evidence, too, of bays for ships and mecha on asteroid itself and extensive building complexes that most probably were the facilities used in the creation of the Megabass itself. That isn't what disturbs you.

No, it's the lances of plasma flickering back and forth across the stars between a Jovian cruiser and an Avalonian vessel that could be a twin of Countess Loriette Marie le Kennedy's ship if it weren't for the fact that it's a bit less damaged and painted in red and black. The Avalonian ship seems to have taken some damage to its weapons, judging by the uneven spread of its beams, but...it also illustrates a strange point of their ship design. Martian warships assign batteries to the left and right, each commanding a 180-degree field that covers each side and overlaps directly ahead and directly behind the vessel, you personally prefer this because you think it's easier to line up head on or tail on to a target. Jovian ships assign batteries to the front and rear, each commanding a 180-degree field that covers fore and aft and overlaps directly along the sides, allowing for ferocious broadside attacks and some degree of imbalance in battleships like the Wels whose fore battery power outstrips their aft battery power substantially. Avalonian vessels take this one step further, although you couldn't be really sure until now that you've seen a few up close, all of their beam cannons seem to be concentrated in the front, with nothing spared for rear defense. You wonder if this is some point of knightly honor to discourage fleeing from the enemy, but you can't be sure.

What you are sure of is that normally this would be exploitable, however fate has conspired against you. The Jovian ship is directly ahead of you, between you and the asteroid, and the Avalonian ship is on the other side of the asteroid facing all of you, using 16-Psyche itself as partial cover.

Avi glances at you, “Hey Admiral, we're getting readings of a wide-range vidcomm broadcast ongoing. Should we intercept?”

You nod, balancing your weight on your toes and ready to run to the mechbay. It's a much longer jog on the new ship, but you're prepared for it, the Kaiser is already prepped for launch because by this point you're quite used to being ambushed with unexpected trouble.

You accept vidcomms, revealing the visage of a scowling, thin-faced man with cropped blonde hair, reclining in his command seat, clearly in the midst of doing what UJCIDF officers seem to do best. Gloating, “And so...damn it, the next person to interrupt my victory speech will be flogged to the limits military law allows, what is it?” He glares around at the terrified-looking bridge crew all trying to direct his attention to the instrument screens. His eyes widen, and a gratifyingly choked sound escapes his throat as he realizes that three pirate warships are hovering behind him, “What is that thing?! Some new Avalonian warship?”

His presumptive second-in-command, a serious-faced, dark-haired man with a mole on his cheek, salutes, “Captain, it looks Martian, but...but that's no model I'm familiar with.”

You smile with just a trace of smugness and adjust your new sunglasses. It's about time the new Rhinehawk made its military debut, “Maya, send two-way vidcomms to both sides. Let's say hello like civilized people.”

Maya jumps off of Avi's lap and gracefully darts into her own chair, “Yes sir!” She chirps, tapping a few buttons.

The main screen splits in half, displaying the UJCIDF cruiser's bridge on the left. On the right, you see a woman sitting with her arms folded on the command chair of the Avalonian vessel's bridge. Like the other vessels you've seen, the seat is elevated on a dais with concentric rings of terminal banks manned by her subordinates surrounding it. You assume the captain is a woman, at least, based on her build and the decorative chest bulge in her armored space suit. You're not sure whether she wears the suit out of habit or because her ship is at a disadvantage, but it's smooth and armored for combat, with decorative skirting and crooked horns on either side of the blast-shielded visor of her helm, “We shall never surrender.” She announces proudly, “Fie upon your treachery, Gas Knight, and fie upon your allied vessels. Whether it takes my final breath to do it or nay, I shall rip out your throat. Although from your surprise...perhaps this one in the handsome six-winged vessel is your superior? Fufu, are you being punished for your failure to defeat me? If only our Countess was here, the Engeler would already have crushed you and your rabble.” She clenches her armored fist.

You clear your throat, “Warriors of the UJCIDF and Principality of Avalon...” You picked up the formal name from some of Loriette's less-important smalltalk, “...I am Admiral Roarke Starwind, and I am annexing this asteroid and all of its resources in the name of the Iron Kestrels.”

They both stare at you, then the blonde man explodes, “You can't do that! This is a Jovian government facility!”

“Yes I can. Pirate.” You point both thumbs at yourself and grin cheekily.

“Unacceptable!” The female knight agrees promptly, “We require this base to repair our ship and reunite with our commander.” She points an armored finger at you, “Although my Countess assuredly found your defeat of the despicable wretch who dishonored her in the past, that worthless girl Kennedy, as hilarious as I did, I shall not yield to you in any form. Content yourself with the theft of this smarmy parasite's vessel, and be off with you!”

"Parasite!? Smarmy!? As if Avalonian filth from outside the Solar System has a right to talk!" He shouts in response, his face reddening with fury. In your experience, UJCIDF officers of the sort to smugly gloat of their strength while shooting at Harpies don't like being interrupted when they're gloating, either.

“Unfortunately, I'm very greedy.” You tell her. “You know, you would be much cuter without the helmet on.”

You don't get your usual reaction, she lurches to her feet and draws a broad-bladed, two-handed chainsword from a scabbard on her back, leveling it at you, “Impudent dog! You may have the right muscles, but your chin is as smooth as butter!” She tilts her head slightly, “Although...who IS that charming creature in that chair to your left?”

You look over your shoulder at...wait, Richard? The big guy's face reddens slightly, and you see Miles' fists clench.


“Hey bitch, that's my armcandy. Fuck off or get fucked with a railgun.” your First Mate growls like a honey badger having a bad day, “We're getting married someday and the last thing I need is to wash the stink of your shitty blood off my fucking hands, got it?”

“Oh-ho? So you're not married yet?” She stresses the 'yet', and you can't help but speculate that she's waggling her eyebrows underneath her helmet.

“Bloody Avalonians.” The Captain of the UJCIDF vessel notes.

“That's it, she's dead. Dude, I'm gonna put a few shells in her engine, I'll be right back.” Miles turns to go, but Richard grabs her by the back of the belt and physically lifts her off her feet while she squirms around in midair.

“So strong!” The Avalonian claps her hands, “A pathetic, tiny woman like you would just be a waste of his superior genes. He needs a wife whose genes will accentuate his, not diminish them.” She puts a hand over the speaker of her helmet, “...Although you seem fairly diminished yourself. Did you shrink in the wash? Fufufu~”

“DEAD! DEAD DEAD DEAD!” Miles roars, all four limbs off the ground, thrashing around. It's a testament to Richard's fortitude that he manages to hold her up with one hand.

“Is this normal?” The Jovian captain asks you.

You shrug, embarrassed, “Nothing about my First Mate is really normal. Let's just ignore it and pretend this is a dignified heist.”

“At any rate, you would make a fine father for the boy. What say you, sir? Ever been with a REAL woman?” The armored woman puts a hand on her hip and stretches out her legs.

“Yes. The one I love. Please stop insulting her.” Richard bows his head slightly.

Miles blushes, “Babe...you really are cute when you're embarrassed. I'm still gonna kill this bitch, but I love you, you big lug.”

Richard sets her down, and she hugs him and pulls on his beard, her rage melting as his grave face contorts into a smile.

Avi rolls his eyes, but Maya sighs dreamily and puts a hand on her cheek, "Love is just the best, isn't it pooka?"

You clear your throat loudly, “Alright, back to it. It's three to two, I have a battleship, and both of you would rather I win than your opponent win, because I'm not starting from a position of 'my goal is to ventilate your ship and leave your corpses to freeze'. I'm here for the facility, and I don't really have the attention to spare for stealing your vessels.” It's the manpower cost you're worried about, sending too few people over to secure their ships could turn against you abruptly if the Avalonians or UJCIDF decide to do something stupid, “Although I'm tempted.” Maybe if they ejected escape pods...but once you do that, unless you deliberately stop them from sending out a distress signal, one side's friends will arrive before the other, and it will be a massacre for the side that loses out since the pods can't gate out or really escape. Still, that's a stretch, maybe there's some way you could manage it, “Really tempted.”

“Hmph.” Suddenly, the Jovian Captain is looking smug again, leaning back in his chair, “Is that so? I'm afraid we got off on the wrong foot. Captain Kenwick Pomade, of the Cleander. You're Admiral Starwind? Honestly, I expected you to be taller. The news around Europa makes you out to be eight feet tall.”

You adjust your sunglasses again. They were waiting for you on the bridge when you arrived, Karen must have left them with Avi, “Well, now you know more than people who've never met me. Congratulations.”

Captain Pomade chuckles, “Splendid, it's always good to meet someone with a sense of dry humor. A welcome change from the typical crudities so commonplace in these dismally backwater climes, no? I'll tell you what, why don't I help you take her ship? You can do what you like with her, it doesn't concern me in the slightest. Keep her, ransom her, scalp her, it's all one and the same where these animals are concerned.”

“How dare you! A genetic inferior like yourself should keep his forked tongue behind his teeth and cower like the dog he is! This is what happens when the social order is overturned by barbarians, peasants start thinking they can raise a hand to their betters!” The Avalonian Captain roars, with impressive volume and vitriol.

"I think she was talking about both of us, Admiral. Are you really going to take that from her, hrmmmm? After all, you're from the Jupiter colonies, the same as I am. We may have walked very different paths in life, but we're connected by the same history." Captain Pomade smiles, baring his teeth.

As a sidenote, I think I accidentally called Moses Flint Noah Flint by accident. Whoops.

Also, to clarify, the Cleander is the same class of Jovian cruiser as the Yamato, including having the same type of engines and armament. That specific model is the Channel-class, they're an old but reliable breed that the UJCIDF uses extensively, although that was before the development of the new defensive screens, which they lack.

>>693015
"You are very right Captain, and under better sercomstances i would take your offer. But the reason for us being here to begin with is to take that floating ball of iron over there. If you are willing to part with it i will gladly deal with your Avalon problem, as im starting to get really good at dealinh with these types.

You rub your chin, "Very fine points, however...the school I went to was mostly focused on preparing us kids for life in a trade, we didn't study much history. I'm here to take that floating ball of iron. If you want to help, good, I'll let you go once we're done. If you get in my way, you'll meet the same fate as everyone else who's made that mistake."

Captain Pomade's smile widens, "Ah, so it's the iron you want? Splendid, then our goals don't conflict. I'm just here to clean up a musty old facility. I can do it from right here, actually. Lieutenant Mudd, can we get a missile lock on the target site?" He glances at the taciturn, dark-haired man with the mole, who nods once, "Splendid, Lieutenant."

"I'm afraid I'm keeping that too." You explain, sharply, "Fire those missiles and you'll be paying me back with the ransom I get from the Jovian government for you and your crew."

He tsks, but whatever he's about to say is drowned out by the Avalonian Captain's gales of laughter.

She's nearly bent over laughing, "L-look at this. How quickly the proud lion becomes a sniveling worm when confronted by a superior beast? Where is your proud disdain for 'rebels and criminals' now, scum? Crawl! Crawl on your belly and hope the Pirate King Starwind spares you! AHAHAHAHAHA!" She claps a hand to her forehead, "No wonder he keeps taking your women. I have no need of such tricks. Here I stand, and although the Countess has expressly forbidden me from getting into duels, me and mine are stronger than you realize. Pirate King, you are trying to take what has already been claimed by someone else. You arrived late, and did not see that I was here before either of you."

Captain Pomade's smile only widens.

You feel sudden pressure on the back of your chair and look up into warm, grey-green eyes. Samantha smiles coquettishly at you. She's changed clothes. On her head rests a peaked officer's cap embroidered with a white headband that's just maidlike enough to fit her usual aesthetic. A huge, billowing black greatcoat with white rope epaulets and the Iron Kestrels emblem emblazoned on a band around the forearm hangs around her shoulders. Underneath, you can see a short skirt and blouse in black, with a white kerchief around her neck, and high black stockings with a perfect inch or so of flesh between the top of the stocking and the hem of her skirt, marred only by her garters. So she really did incorporate the schoolgirl uniform into her official Kestrels attire. You're thankful for your sunglasses, because you're thinking thoughts you really shouldn't be thinking in what might become a combat situation shortly. She looks from one Captain to the other, and frowns, whispering in your ear, "Something is wrong. Her, I can understand, but not him. He shouldn't be this confident."

"Well now, you certainly have expensive taste in concubines, Admiral Starwind. May I call you Roarke? It's not a very common name, but it's like my mother always said, common names are for common people." Captain Pomade steeples his fingers, "I'm quite familiar with your record. You've caused quite a lot of damage, embarrassed a number of people, have repeatedly vandalized military property, and yet...I don't exactly see a list of dead officers by your name. Are you really going to risk being labeled an enemy of the entire Solar System? Somehow, I get the impression that you're more intelligent than that." He wags a finger remonstratingly at you, "Do you know what separates a human from a beast? Logic. Reason. Mature adults, who compare their goals and work out a mutually beneficial solution, can always find a way to rise above their base instincts. You and I both know why you're here, to improve your resources as much as possible and solidify your hold over most of the Belt. You and I both also know that if I fail to accomplish my mission General Fairchild will end my career without a second's hesitation. You don't need that facility. I do, in pieces. Would it not be wiser to use that as a starting point and work out our course of action from there?"

Samantha's frown deepens, "That isn't it. Something is wrong."

You notice the Avalonian ship is moving to put the asteroid between itself and the four vessels it's facing.

Maya frowns at her screen, "Sir, it's Beckingham. He says he recognizes that ship. He recommends opening fire...but he also wants you to ask about the location of someone named 'Bruce Kelly', if it's convenient."

Captain Pomade opens up his PC, checking the chronometer before tucking it back into the pocket of his uniform.

>[What do?]

>>693083
We should scan for cloaked enemies in the area if we can.

>>693091
...Oh shit. The Aussie is here isn't he. and get the shields up. I believe Jesus is in the area.

>>693091
>Well too bad I've always been told I'm more beast then man *Open fire on his bridge*
I don't like how he knows our plans anon, I think we may have a spy in our ranks. Especially since the only people we told about our plan is our captains

>>693091
Called it. There's either reinforcements, a cloaked ship, or they're wiping the base. We go and take the facility and atomize him if he tries to stop us. The Avalonian too.
>>693096
That's also something that could happen. Watch out for him.

>>693096
No I think Beckingham knows Bruce and this was the ship that captured him. He probably wants info regarding where Bruce is considering he doesn't knew that we met him

>>693091
"So, Captan, whens your backup getting here?"

>>693096
Bruce Kelly is on the Auditorium.
Also, recommend going into full combat status.

To the pompous pricks.
>You know, I don't like the cut of both your jibs. So I'm thinking, your ships are now my property and you're both trespassing.

>>693091
"Yeah, not falling for this. Open fire now." As for Bruce, respond that the last time you saw him you punched him in the face and still live to tell the tale.

>>693101
Oh yeah, forgot to mention that. Tell him he's on Auditorium.

>>693101
We should just tell him that Kelly isn't a problem for now.

>>693091
Well then I suggest we take him out dudes. Also, you think Ole Bruce is hitching a ride with us on the down low?

>>693099
apparently the Avalonians got here first, so its probably backup.

>>693091
(just got back from dinner and already got to the best part.)

>Check for cloaked enemies
>Ask Beckingham what is the relation between kelly and this ship.

Guys, this guys is going to betray us anyway, he will have a better time teaming up with Mordred here than with him as he plans to blow the asteroid up to pieces anyway so...

I Think that the best plan here is to give him na ultimatum and propose letting the avalonians do their repair while we watch on them.

>>693111
Don't give him an ultimatum it might tip him off that we're onto his game. Just fire straight into his bridge which should cripple the ship hopefully while we run to the Kaiser to deal with the Avalonians

>>693111
>teaming up with Mordred

Unless another fleet shows up it isn't gonna happen. They'll just play keepaway and threaten to blow up the asteroid if we threaten them too much by getting too close or flanking them.

>>693108
Probably not now, but I can see him doing it after the tourney. But we should go back and challenge him to a bare knuckle fight again sometime

>>693113
I think this is the best way to deal with the situation, he is here to destroy the evidence of the research here right?

>>693113
Seconding this. He's playing us. We out gun him. Either he has more people or he's stalling. Let's call his bluff and fire. Also we can tell our buddy we last saw Kelley on the Sirens station.

>>693116
Yup he's looking to stop us and Avalon from getting whatever info is here so we need to get it

By the way, it's later than I realized and we're running tomorrow (and probably Thursday too), so that will be the last proper post of the night. I did confirm that Bruce Kelly used his full name at least once in Roarke's hearing, so you know where he is. Work out your plan, because things are definitely going to get hairy tomorrow and ominous dice will roll. Remember, well begun is half done!

>>693110
It's a Jovian facility. He probably contacted the people in there and told them to wipe everything.

>>693113

That would be pretty significant, the first time you've outright attacked a UJCIDF ship. Of course, you're already a criminal, so perhaps it's not such a big step. That's up to you. The more clarity on your plans you can give me, the more faithfully I can execute them

Alright anons here's my plan
>Immedietly fire all cannons on Navy bridge
>Leave Beckingham/Flint to deal with the rest of the ship
>Send the Rhinehawk to deal with the Avalonians
>Launch to fight Mordred and whatever other bullshit they throw

Did you really liked it? Hahahaha, i feel honored by your words, in fact, if you want, i can elaborate on her backstory a bit more if you like but i will still make some things kind of vague to able you to explore on it if you want, as it would be cool to have Megumin/Rikka as na recorrente caracter as the anons seems to like her chuuni shenanigans.

But no, she doesn't have na angsty backstory, she has an trauma with her mother's death like Karen that spiralled into chuunibyou the same way the death of Rikka's father did with her, but as of now she doesn't even think much about it, as the Storm Dragons became her second Family.
Still, she still would like to have an real and more closely related Family if she could, and thats kind of the reason she tends to go too far on chuunibyou shenanigans to maintain a "POHAHFURU!" facade to get the approvation of others... But she may get over it and go KAMINA WAY of being cool for her own sake and not for approval of others.

Unrelated, do anyone have that pic of Captain Noah driking coffe with a mecha battle on the background? I think that was some kind of mecha Octopus flying in that... And it could be a good pic for the Elder-1.

Thanks for running, quick question was the ujcidf flag or symbols ever described?

We all knew it would happen sooner or later. The fact it took this long is kind of impressive.

>>693138
Here you go anon

>>693132
I agree with this, other than sending Flint and Beckingham to take out the Navy ship. If Beckingham's ship and mechs and reliably take out the Navy's ship (I have no idea what ship he has) we send Flint to take the base. I'm guessing he has the best ground troops of the two.

Or conversely if Flint's ship can take on the Navy ship but Beckingham's can't, sent Beckingham to take the base. I'm pretty sure they're just wiping the data off the base's servers, we can't afford to take longer than we need to.

>>693132
Addendum, Moe and a squad to cover Sam if necessary.

>>693132
The only way I can see doing this without taking heat for killing the officer would be to disable their weapons but I doubt we could do that easily. Everything else is pretty solid, once we fire on the UJCIDF the Avalonions will definitely use the opportunity to move in on them or us.

Anyway, I hope we get a Ryuusei expy in the storm dragons, if I had the time I would have made a mech for the tourney, custom blue gill named ghost since I can't call it Gespenst

>>693142
>>693141

Problem is they don't have stealth and sending in troops might make them go defcon. If we can slip Sam in without them knowing they might be a little laxer

>>693146
That's not how wiping servers work. They're doing it as fast as possible, no matter what's happening. You don't get told "destroy all the data in the facility" and go about it slowly.

>>693141
They probably are doing this, and maybe they even put a timebomb or an related shenanigan in the base already.

We need to scan everything with ASP NOW.

>>693148
What I mean is if we send people in then instead of delete files its shoot everything with your guns and set off the explosives

>>693125
Thanks for running Wong, it has been an honor to be able to watch this unfold, as Always.
>>693137
Any opinion about this?

>>693149
We definitely need intel in that regard, I don't want to send Sam in by herself though. If they are deleting files remotely we definitely need to fire on their bridge in order to salvage as much data as we can.

>>693132
Im against firing on the bridge. Start with the gun batteries and the engines, then the bridge. See if the Captain loses his nerve and spills his plan before we kill him.
also send the Soldiers in after Sam.
because the Beta has shit for weapons and if Sam gets caught on her own by a superior force she's probably dead.
Besides, this is the kind of high speed, low drag bullshit these guys are famous for.

>>693146
Moe and squad would be a QRF to help bug out Sam when Murphy's Law strikes

>>693154
If we had Oda we could have lauch the Ninja Harpies...

Thats why we should bring him as often as possible.

>>693156
Giving him time only makes it so they can delete more files we need this to end as quickly as we possibly can. A direct shot to the cockpit will end this as quick as we can and send the rest of the Jovians into a panic hopefully including everyone in the base

>>693151
You can't shoot a hard drive and delete the data on it, it doesn't work. If someone's determined enough they can still get the info. The only reliable way to physically destroy the information on a hard drive is to melt it with acid. Explosives could work, but if they're not big enough it's a gamble unless you keep blowing it up. And if the officer is ready to glass the base then they're probably doing this anyway. It's a race against time, we can't be slow. It's going against what's necessary.

Don't get me wrong, being careful is great, but it'll bite us in the ass when it gets us nothing.

>>693140
I thoght that was just the jovian flag, rather than a military one.

>>693167
Alright then sending a squad or two to clear the base would be in our best interest

So now the plan is
>Immedietly fire all cannons on Navy bridge
>Leave Beckingham/Flint to deal with the rest of the ship
>Send the Rhinehawk to deal with the Avalonians
>Launch to fight Mordred and whatever other bullshit they throw
>Sam, Moe, and two squads of Bluegills attack the base with Sam given command over the squad

And I just realized if we didn't have our date with Lori we would have gotten here before this bullshit

I feel obliged to point out for the sake of your plans that the facility looks old and neglected from what you can see up here. There might not be anyone present from Jupiter on the asteroid, especially since Avalon arrived first.

>>693174
Doesn't hurt us to check with a small squad

>>693170
No, we need a ship. With ground troops. Not mechs. Bases aren't designed to let mechs go everywhere, they're designed to let people go everywhere. There won't be mech access to the main servers and the computers, so if we only send mechs the pilots will have to get out, which is just plain stupid.

>>693132
Firing right at the bridge sounds like a called shot.. which gives us a penalty. Our crew is not A class just yet and we REALLY don't want to say we aimed right from the get go.

Rather, let's play his game a little. Mention Bruce casually as we talked to Flint while the Navy commander an still hear us. Mention we beat him with a few bits of trivia to seal the deal. Then tell him we REALLY don't like those who scheme and try to act coy. If he tries saying otherwise; Warning shot. Blasts right in front of him with no intent to hit anything. Scare him, but also scare his crew. Use intimidation if we must. Make them turn on the guy who is OBVIOUSLY treating his crew like shit and have them surrender.

Then we deal with whatever shit he has planned.

>>693174
Oh, well that changes everything. I guess just sending a couple mechs will work.

So just ignore this >>693176

>>693178
Its all good man, you had a good point

>>693177
We don't have time for that, if we start doing stuff like that he'll know were on to him and then glass the place before we can glass him. And he seems to be stalling us for a reason so giving him more time isn't smart

>>693174
Any other useful information you may have forgotten?

Ah, any comments on the pilots and their mechs form the other thread? I'm very anxious to know your opinion of them(and i still have the Tenshi to finish, and more three to even post, an tuned-down(or up? is kind of subjective) version of the Tenshi, an transformable bluegill-thing and an maybe an improved Bluegill mercenary version.) XD.

And any opinion on the megumin thing, should i change something?

>>693180

No, but I'll point out that both enemy Captains seem pretty confident.

I...need to read through the other thread in more detail. Don't get carried away, though! Your enthusiasm is great, but remember that it's one mech per poster for the tourney.

>>693177
First priority is making sure he doesn't shoot the Asteroid. we need to disable his ship for that. and playing around with him does us no favors, especially with backup on the way.

>>693184
Well it's time for bed since I learned the hard way yesterday in Ninja Monk Quest forcing myself to stay up to see the end of a thread isn't a good idea.

So just for future reference I'm voting for >>693170 or any derivative plan the other anons decide is better. Have a good night Wong, I hope I'll get to see you tomorrow.

Considering the base isn't maned as far as we know then lets just send Sam and a Single squad to check it out, once we get the Sol ship under control. Don't want them firing when our waifu is inside

>>693184
Yeah, i know, i will use "Za Walkure Delta", but i'm still doing others for the coolness of it and giving them away to anyone who wants to use them.... Or to your NPCs with you want to fill slots so that the numbers can match up.

The Bluegill ideas comes from something you said about making an winged bluegill with head mounted beam cannons, and in the begining, was the concept idea for the caracter that would be Megumin's Mother, but as the chuunibyou thing sounded cooler, i made the Za Walkure instead and was thinking of making an rival pilot who would use a copy of her mother's mech to set her off on the tourney, turning the duel into an hotblooded battle of honor or something....

BUT i might be getting carried away, i don't want to steal the spotlight of the other anons, it would end well for anybody, so... Just use this idea if you guys are sure of it being okay.

And abou the other mecha, the redbird, the spartan, that holo-shadow one piloted by Gundam-Wing-Girl,the super-robot inspired one form Thunder-senpai and the Dutchman are my favorites untill now, with the Dutchman being the BEST BOY and the Rosita's fan one being in a close second....(its hard to choose between the others).

>>693184
As long as were talking about this tell me, what happened to Sweden? Did the muslims take over it? And did any native sweds leave to a certain planet/moon?

>>693179
>>693185
Needless speed does us no good either and taking unneeded risks will go badly. First off, from what we've been told the ship is like the Yamato. No shields, several size categories below us, and indeed a missile boat. Considering the hits on the red ship, it likely fired a good number at it. So it probably has just enough to finish it's job. But thats it. We do not want him to panic fire and shooting that ship down in one turn seems unlikely at best.

He cannot afford to use his missiles one way or another so of course he's buying time. So we spook him and force the crew's hands. If you are worried about him firing on the colony get in his way with our shields. They are 2000kills after all and can easily soak it up. It also allows our team to safely get in there while we handle the outside.

>>693091

Anyone but me guessing secret/unexpected reinforcements? Maybe in the form of Bruce Kelly, and the Captain checking his watch is stalling for when theyll show?

Maybe we need to fire or dodge right now?

Most 21st century Earth countries are flat-out gone, man, I've said it dozens of times. Outliers like Oda or some Avalonians speaking a bit of French don't count, the nuclear conflict fucked everything. Occasionally you get tidbits in people's names or on backwater colonies, but it's neither common nor standard.

"I'm not a fool, Captain. I'm well aware that you have a card up your sleeve. Of course, I have several of my own. So here is my final offer. You will not destroy the facility. You will however be permitted to land troops at the facility to clean up any stray nukes Bahamute carelessly left lying around from the Megabass project. I'll even permit you to to wipe files that aren't connected to the mobile army control system. You can even pretend to Fairy that you deleted those files as well, and that my COLT system comes from reverse engineering the Countess's Avalonian control scheme if it helps your precious career. You have 30 seconds to accept or decline."

I really liked your wall of text, but i'm a greedy man that wants the whole prize, so i prefer the opening fire plan.

>>693170
What about disabling their missile bays first? That sounds like a better plan (and even better if we can spend some of Avi's Luck on the shot) than adding a dead officer name to our list and making him into a martyr that Fairchild can use against us.

>>693358
And if we explode the missiles, they do extra damage to the ship, no?

I would consider the rules in the ATM to take precedence over any contradicting rules from the Core Rulebook. So saying, running your numbers, you appear to have purchased armor for your Hands. Hands are statted as Melee Weapons and are not applicable to be armored as Servos are; hence, you should only have purchased armor for 6 locations rather than the 8 I think you've got.

Additionally, the ATM revises the weights of Servos to be equal to half their Kills. Hence, your frame should weigh 18 tons (having 36 Kills) instead of 16 - but with the reduced armor, your total weight comes out to 34.5 tons. This increases your MA to 15.46. I believe MA is rounded up, so that puts you at 16.

Apart from that, I'm not sure how you're paying 19.2 CP for what is a total of 20 CP worth of thrusters, not that the additional 0.88 or so CP puts you anywhere near to the 140 CP limit given the above reductions.

In fact, unless I've done my math wrong, your final cost should come out to 117.7*1.1 = 129.47 CP. This leaves you with about 9.5 pre-multiplier CP to work with on making any other improvements you couldn't fit in before.

Overall, I'd mainly worry about how you'll deal with enemies who can immobilize your limbs with grappling or disarm you of your weapon (note that your weapon has only 3 Kills of structure, and can likely be destroyed with a single attack once taken from you), and enemies who can damage you from range before you close in. Reactive Shields won't be an issue since Wong isn't allowing them, and I doubt he'd permit AF Beam Shields either.

>>693479

Revised with optional Beam Magnum. Can't take with Kusanagi.

>>693510
Could you point for me the exact quote where weight of servos equal to half their kills?

If I'm not mistaken, all weapons can take damage equal to their kills. And the idea behind the Mustang that it's supposed to able to close the distance with it's MA before its opponents could fire and relies on the pilot skill to outmaneuver incoming fire.

As for 19.2 CP, I kinda thought it was supposed to round up the CP to the thrusters.

File: atm page 11.jpg (132 KB, 366x377)

132 KB JPG

>>693547
Weight as half-Kills is pic related, from page 11 of the ATM (same as the previously posted image).

EMWs are special in that they have structural Kills equal to a quarter of their damage (and hence weight equal to one eighth of their damage). This is specified at the end of the Damage paragraph in the section on EMWs, on page 28 of the ATM.

With regards to propulsion, 1 space of thrusters costs 1 CP (CR page 63, ATM page 61, etc.). I can't recall reading anything that states you can't purchase fractional spaces' worth of thrusters, but all references to buying thrusters I can recall refer to whole numbers. Regardless, I see no reason you would round up; you should certainly get only the amount of thrusters you paid for.

I might be wrong with MA rounding up - I only say so because I vaguely recall something to that extent being mentioned before, and because moving a fractional hex would surely still allow you to threaten the next hex ahead of you.

You missed a thing.

And I can't really support rounding up fractional thrusters, but other than that it looks fine to me.

Consider giving yourself some way to attack at range in a standardized loadout, or else some other countermeasure against being attacked at range besides dodging, with the remaining CP?

Well shit, there's already someone using Shadow Imagers, which means I can't without looking like a rip-off.

Taking a very brief glance through - in line with the image directly above, your naginata should have 1.75 Kills, and weigh half of that.

The Kusanagi isn't a EMW. It's a MW. Though I may need to rephrase it since I labelled it as a heat katana. Adjusted the thrusters.

I don't want to have to ban coming up with backstrokes for your mecha, that wouldn't be cool or fun for anyone, but I keep seeing things that would fit better as protagonist mecha than mass-production models, which is a shame, because the actual base concepts of some of these are awesome.

Heya Wong, I've got 2 Mechs whose backstories I want to run by you.

>The Spartan: A mech constructed by a bunch of retired veterans from Titan who made a bet that they could make a better mech than the Pumpkinseed-II. Completely custom mech, piloted by a literal Grandmother who was itching to get back into the cockpit.

>The Myrmidon: Due to internal politics, a Skunkworks team was let go from Bucephalus Heavy Industries. This disgruntled group of mechanical geniuses, pilots and executives immediately set their collective intellect towards putting their former employer to shame. They started their own company, named Iskander after the famous conqueror who rode Bucephalus into battle, and using their skills and knowledge from working with Bucephalus, created a prototype mech that would, hopefully, kickstart the company into high gear. In order to showcase their creation, named the Myrmidon, they entered the SPACE JAM.

Neither uses Verniers but the Myrmidon has two beam swords that I justified with the team who made them being former BHI.

Approved because I fucking love it and because there was a confirmed Pumpkinseed crashed on Auditorium (Rebecca Lorde's hijacked escape vehicle).

Fair enough!

You'd really only need to reduce the Myrmidon's weight by one ton to get MV-3. Other than that they look good.

Remind me how booster packs work?

Woo!

Also, which moons have been colonized in Sol? Asking because the current IRL list of possible colonizable moons is Europa, Enceladus, Titan, Callisto, Ganymede, Io, Triton and Charon.

Might as well get an option on mine http://pastebin.com/wwT3gZS1

Your Dutchman is a good example of a grunt machine.

Fucking sweet! Lightning is approved!

All of the above, but Io and Europa have a massive number of colonies compared to the rest and manipulate the colony construction companies to keep it that way.

Looks good so far. Sword mechs seem to be the "in" thing, which is perfectly in keeping with the game so far.

As a random aside, does Red Siren's pirate gang have a name beyond "Red Siren's pirate gang"

>>693901
To be fair, the distance the mechs start from would be fairly critical in a duel.
>>693904
Also, could you give a rough estimate of how many mecha her gang has? It's relevant when deciding how many ships and mechs to leave at home

It's technically her fan club too. Think of it as one MASSIVE crew of mostly noncombatants. A lot of crews are just "Captain Name's crew" or "Captain Name's pirates", the way Blackbeard's crew wasn't called something neat like "Straw Hat pirates" or "Blazin' Beard Boys". The California Station crews are known for having a bit more flash than the normal beltscum.
