I am sure there is some Paladins that follow the rules of 'salt the earth of my enemies' in a sort of dick ass knight order. Plenty of examples were given. I can certainly see Belph doing it.

I wonder what we would get in we combine a Knight with a Pumpkin Seed II

Alright Normally I would try to post this during a lul in the quest or at the end BUT I am on my way to work so posting it for you guys to look at now

Maybe, we didn't really see much of them yet, though.
But i was imagining something like Not!Hunk, but obsessed with "exterminating the Gas Knights" to the point of ridiculousness....

He could be a good last boss for Amos, though.
Or at least give Thunder his edgelord fix of the day.

>>795018
Does it have active cloak? I can't find it.

>>795100
No cloak this time, that took up over 30 CP on the Wraith, The Domovik has better armor and weapons instead
And a shield this time around

Also, what did you guys thought about the KAISERswordfish MK.III?
(and should we paint it black on the white parts?Go full Dark knight?)

>>795077
'cleanse the heretics', 'burn the unclean', plenty of reasons and sayings. But either way, it sort of makes sense to me. There are 12 Paladins with 4 being the eldest, right? That lady Wedge took down, Belph, and then Mr Elf and Roland. With the remaining 8 thats 2 for each vet to train which means 2 Paladins would have gotten their training from Belphagor himself. Considering his rule of the strong mentality, I could see it reflect in his disciples.

So the plans for our loot was

>Sam gets Mordred's machine to buff up her's and make it sturdier
>Miles gets Jesus's
>Richard get Lacus's
>Oda gets Feral kid's mech
>Jesus gets Moonlight Greatsword reforged into a spear

Libra anon here. I made some modifications to the CROWE and double checked all the math, so everything should be correct.

Biggest change is to the shotgun. Instead of making the ammo for it armor piercing, I instead just upped the damage to 6 and gave it burst 2, so now it's effectively a double-barreled shotgun. It only has one extra reload, though.

>>795144
Why did you drop it?

>>795135
I would prefer to see what the kid is like before giving the machine away. Thinking about it, he could very well be the Smores to Caesar's Oreo. Has a big mech with a hammer, the cannibal thing and he's blunt.

>>795157
>implying Merrow wont kick our ass and then kick the ass of every pirate in a ten mile radius

I would rather use it to buff up one of our mechs since a good amount of ours are really weak comparitively. As we saw last thread one stronger ace is much better then multiple alright aces

>>Sam gets Mordred's machine to buff up her's and make it sturdier
NO, just plain, NO,
We spend a bunch of time discussing to get on the point that we need numbers more than quality at this moment, and Mordred mech's could easily become another Ace machine with little fix.
>Oda gets Feral kid's mech
No, we are going to recruit Mika eventually i think, no need to scre up the barbatos at this moment.
>>Jesus gets Moonlight Greatsword reforged into a spear
Did you mean Ceasar? We discussed about it and people said that it would be a waste for him because is lance is already pretty OP, and he his bad with ranged, really BAD.
So we were going to give trhe moonlight sword to oda.

You float in the silent darkness, the electromagnets of your suit turned off. You're cold. You don't know what the room you're in looks like, you've been here for hours and haven't turned on the lights. You know, objectively, that it's a crew bedroom on the Rhinehawk, Roarke Starwind's primary battleship, but a lot of the details are fuzzy.

You remember the Black Ogre carrying your cockpit ball and towing the bipedal tank mech back to his ship. You wanted to talk to him, but one of the few details that you can recall since landing was being pulled out of your cockpit ball by the Rhinehawk's mechanics, and seeing two women trying to tear their way into the Black Ogre's cockpit. You recognized one of them as ex-Lieutenant Farragut, the other was a girl with wide hips and an autowrench. The mechanics assured you that it was too dangerous to approach right now, and you didn't have the willpower to argue with them.

You think you fell asleep for a while at some point, you're not proud to admit it but you cried yourself out of energy once you were alone. Jove damn it, you took out two SOUL mecha built with half again as much funding as yours, only for this to happen? What more could you have done? What more could you possibly have done?

Why do you think he carries around an autocannon?

>>795167
Buff up our machines won't be too much of a problem with all the scrap we have. Navy and pirates along with the knights should be enough to help the Twins, and the Factory can help us fabricate things as well. However, with whats happening and our plans to cover more ground, we will need aces on the ground to support one another. Any paladin is going to give our non roarke aces issues and should be avoided, but like whats been shown a good machine does not make you invincible.

>>795199

>[Go find some meal bars to eat]

Time to sack up and eat.

>>795176
Also, i was one defending making stronger aces in the begining, but even Wong came and started talking about numbers being more necessary at the moment and so on... So there were some agreement about this.

>>795191
> Captain Oda Yoritomo [P] (Mecha Pilot 17, Mecha Fighting 15, Mecha Melee 17, Mecha Gunnery 16)
Wrong, Oda even fired at us in our fight with him.

>>795274
Don't want to accidentally damage the mechs. Punching bags are cheap tho

So who are we going to have train Caesar? Clemmy or Oda?

>>795299
Clemmy easily, they have rapport and she knows a little bit of what Caesar's going through right now.

As bad as you feel, you won't feel any better with your stomach rumbling like this. You fumble your PC out of your pocket and turn the flashlight on, wincing at the sudden glare and flashing it around to find the door. The room is a fairly standard, even spartan starship cabin, complete with bed, some rather plain furniture...and a simgame device. Normally that would be your first concern, and it profoundly worries you that seeing it doesn't cheer you up at all. You plant your foot on the edge of the bed and kick towards the door, reactivating your uniform's electromagnets and landing with your boots firmly on the deck as you thumb the entry pad and step out into the corridor. Apparently, the Kestrels didn't lock you in, which is a relief. This seems to be a residential part of the ship, the doors have a certain uniformity to them that you're familiar with from your time on various UJCIDF vessels. To the left, the space between doors is larger, on the right it remains the same size.

>>795313

>>795313
>[Go right]
I think Cmif Caesar is going to train with someone Clemmy would work they're friends and she knows what it's like to be seperated from your love

>>795340
But ceasar idolizes Oda, i think we should let the bound. Did you guys forgot about it? He even spends most of his money in samubuy and have an Osano-Wo figma hided in a cabinet next to his bed.

>>795353
Thats not a bird, the Tinn Sparrow

>>795365
Copper Canary?

>>795373
Black Brant.

>>795373
But if we name it Tin Sparrow we'll have a great joke if Yazan ever joins our crew, oh speaking off. When we get the chance lets bring Harlock and the captain we captures to go see Bruce, He'd probably like getting a couple hits in before Harlock ices him

>>795361
Does that mean Ceasar is gonna build a love-fort out of Naomi dakiamakuras?

>>795353
>>795365
>>795373
>>795379
>>795401
Silver Seagull
or if you guys like exotic:
Tungsten Tangará

>>795401
Was thinking about that for a while, though Yazan would probably take the poor bastard behind the bush and make a hat from his hide. I'm sure Harlock actually has vegemite as well. Seems like the sort of guy who has the recipe for it.

>>795443
Its better than the Blue Tit at least.

>>795440
I hope not but maybe she can help bring out his inner fire. A man is nothing without his passions. Look what Yuria did for Kenshiro. Maybe Oda could help with this too.

>>795444
Well... That was easy.
>...and then we discover that we need to rob a museum to get the recipe.

>>795444
I doubt Harlock would mind, he pretty much wants revenge for him fucking over them and getting his friend captured

So, Wong. Buddy. There was a Shinji, a Kira, a Char, etc in this universe. Where's the Kamina?

Please tell me he's not an Avalonian

>>795505
He's the Pilot of the Roland. Gods help us all.

>>795505
She'll most likely be one of Roarke's kids, probably Sam's. I'm more concerned that Amaro is going to be Roland

>>795508
...

What's the Roland?

>>795513
Roland is the Strongest Paladin and the lover of the Queen

>>795510
Also, this is acceptable. Sam's son NotKamina and Siren's son NotSimon (because of course he'd avoid the spotlight with two high-profile parents) piloting a dual-cockpit mecha.

>>795517
Oh shit. Well, can't fault Kamina for going for the biggest piece of ass out there.

>>795513
Well, notice how the Oliver was the Knight of Gold and was able to kick our entire teams asses while missing some stuff and encumbered with the thruster pod? The Roland is stronger. So, either it's the Neo Granzon, Demonbane, Gurren Lagann, or the Ideon.

You can't decide which way to go, so you on a whim decide to go left. The cabins, if your assumption is right, are larger up this way judging from the space between the doors. You don't see any sign of a mess hall or a cafeteria, but you do find a holomap on the wall that indicates the route to one. You were going in somewhat the wrong direction, apparently, but a few turns puts you on the right route.

A couple of girls in black flightsuits with the familiar white hawk-and-skull emblem you're seeing everywhere else move past, staring at you and giggling. Normally, you'd be embarrassed, but none of them can hold a candle to Naomi.

According to the holomap, there's a cafeteria up ahead, but you can also hear the rhythmic clacking of wooden practice blades from somewhere nearby.

Well, thats just another flavor of pain.

You make your way into the mess hall. It's not very crowded, and another glance at your PC reveals that you must have been floating in the dark much longer than you thought. It's not quite been twenty-four hours since Lysa broadcast the cheer. Your SOUL flight suit stands out against the sea of black leather jackets and sunglasses.

You choose to ignore the crowd and the odd looks you're getting, pushing your way through and snagging a bratwurst-flavored meal bar from the machine, along with a space-compatible thermos of tea.

It tastes like wet cardboard, it's as if all of your senses have been dulled, and although you dutifully shovel it down you take no pleasure in it.

"Salaam, glad to see you're up and about." One of the Kestrels settles at the same table, across from you, "Are you doing alright?" It's a young man, around your age, Martian, with fluffy, unkempt hair.

What upgrades are you hoping we get for the Kaiser anons?

>>795760
Let's give it a bio core. Have the Kaiser actually grin and scream at our foes (somehow in space).

>>795808
A biocore would be great for Roarke, considering how pumped up he gets in a real fight

>>795760
Better armor and a bigger frame along with the bits and reactive shield. Just so we don't have to worry about that one crippling hit. Also, emotive face for more Cool for our intimidation.

>>795760
Realistically? Reflectors or a Ranged-Only Burst Reactive Shield to defend against ranged enemies, especially ones with Beam Weapons as those seem particularly common. Anti-missile defenses wouldn't go amiss either. Also, a +3 CL statistical enhancement module.

Less realistically? A Supercharged Bioenergy Powerplant and pic related from the Stupid Mekton Tricks section of the ATM.

You grunt at him, and tear off another mouthful of meal bar. The meat inside may have been frozen immediately prior to being dispensed, but the machine cooks it for you and it's steaming now.

"You are Caesar, yes? I am Mohammed, we met already. I wish I could have done more to help." Oh, so it's this guy. You remember him. He bows his head to you and after a moment you return the gesture, crumbs covering your chin.

"Mohammeeeeeed! Momo, where are you?" A girl with long dark hair runs over and throws her arms around him, "They said we can't order food here! How inhospitable, I was always able to order food on Auditorium! Isn't there anything but meal bars?"

He looks at her and shrugs, "Ask your cousin."

She pouts, "She tells me to learn how to hunt. I don't want to! Poor little rabbits, I can't see how she stomachs hunting..."

The boy shrugs again, "Food is food."

You nod, thankful that nobody is trying to talk to you about Naomi. Yet.

The Martian boy wags his lamb-flavored meal bar at you, "Do not despair. At the New Year, the Avalonian commander has pledged to go to Auditorium to negotiate the return of a captive. Until then, he is trapped somewhere in the system. We will get your woman back, my friend, I guarantee it." Resolve fills his eyes.

"Why?" You grunt.

He blinks, "Why what?"

"Why are you trying to make me feel better?" You ask, perhaps a bit unfairly. You did get along well enough when you dueled, after all, it's only good manners for him to care.

Instead, he gives an answer that surprises you, "Because I, too, know how it feels to have someone I love taken away...only for me, there is no rescuing her. We are apart of her own free will." He sighs quietly, and you detect a brief flicker of irritation on the face of the dark-haired Martian girl hugging him around the shoulders.

[Continued]

>>795844
She would probably make herself a mech with the same power up so she could do lewd things with the Kaiser like hand holding

>>795822
Isn't their someway to make it so we can bite other mechs?

>>795880
Just add a mouth weapon to the head.

>>795880
Yeah, by going a mech beast route. They do more damage and can bite, though they have their own issues if I recall. Not like there is any reason to go that route. If we need a variety of attacks, we can make custom fist bits. Maybe a Megaheavy arm bit with +2 Acc hands for the best disassemble?

If it was what I think it was, it won't really do much for us, though it's at least pretty cheap to get.

Though, it will look terrifying as fuck to our enemies, when the mech that was previously punching the fuck out of them suddenly gets MORE arms.

Isn't Roarke style, and it gives you -2MV for +2DMG with bite... It doesn't payoff itself.

>Instead, he gives an answer that surprises you, "Because I, too, know how it feels to have someone I love taken away...only for me, there is no rescuing her. We are apart of her own free will."

"That's a problem." You mumble, and take a bite of your meal bar.

He nods, "Yes, my friend. So take heart, you will see her again soon, and the Admiral will help you rescue her. So be brave and-"

You stand up before realizing you've done it, "And what? Watch someone else fight my battles? What's the point? Yes, I want Naomi to be saved but I...but I couldn't beat him. I couldn't beat the Paladin who took her. I could read his moves perfectly, I knew how he was going to attack, there was no flaw in my strategy I just...I couldn't move fast enough. I can't beat him." You finally let yourself acknowledge it, the fear you felt during that fight. You've faced strong opponents before, but never anyone who you knew, in your heart, you didn't stand a chance of beating.

You're expecting some empty words of comfort, what you weren't expecting was for him to nod, "Perhaps. I cannot say. My teacher's ship has just entered port, I believe he's sparring with Miss Farragut but he told me specifically that he wanted to talk to you when you're awake."

You pause momentarily to consider who he could be talking about. Admiral Starwind? No, Starwind doesn't use blades or plasma cannons at all. On the other hand...Mohammed, you know, uses a two-sword style, and there is a Captain in the Iron Kestrels known for his dual-blade skills.

The girl interrupts your thoughts, "Wait a minute, I know you! You're Hiney! I didn't recognize you, you've grown up so much!" She smiles dazzlingly.

"I...what? Hiney?" You blink at her in absolute confusion.

She nods, still smiling, "Yes, Hiney! I remember your name, Heinrich, and I just sort of...gave you a nickname. We were maybe thirteen back then, you don't remember?"

You pause and consider. You do remember being introduced to a Martian girl back then, from an extremely wealthy family...no, wait, you were introduced to a few of them, "I'm sorry, I don't recall." You shake your head.

She pouts slightly, "You said my singing got on your nerves and all you wanted to do was play Bluegill Joe. It was very tiresome."

Now is your turn to be shocked. You DO remember her, but, "Shukriya? But you're..."

She smiles, "I lost a lot of weight."

Yes, she definitely has. You'd dismissed her as a useless flower regardless of that, "Oh, yeah. You have. Um. So. Hi."

"Yes, hi." She smiles again.

"You don't look like a Storm Dragon." You address Mohammed.

He nods solemnly, "I am a Kestrel. Master Yoritomo is simply my teacher. I believe Miss Farragut is yours, yes? They are sparring now, hoping to break their tie. From the sounds of it..."

At that moment, the door bursts open, a huge man in a purple fencing outfit with gold lightning bolts where the eyes would be on the mask stumbling inside, pursued by a slender figure in white. Despite being pursued, his defense is flawless, two curved wooden blades blurring from the speed at which he opposes her singular shortsword.

I back you in the Osano-Wos plan, but i'm not entirely convinced of giving him the Chevalier yet... We could just give him the Moonlight sword and up his robot normally.

"L'il Caesar!" A triumphant, feminine voice crows from behind the white mask, "There you are, little buddy! Welcome aboard! Don't worry, if anyone picks on you...I'll kick their ribs in, and they all know it! Ahahaha, isn't this great? Finally, we get to resume your training!" Presumably she means the beatings that helped turn you into a better swordsman, "Gotta toughen up, Moe's a good boy and he fights seriously, you'll have to work hard to beat him!"

"It's still one to one." Mohammed points out, "I am not ahead, Caesar and I are respectable equals."

"Sasuga, Moe-kun!" The purple-clad fencer bellows, backing up nearly to the table before riposting with a slash that nearly hits Clemmy in the head, only a swift duck saving her, "A true bushi's humility! Although, it's daijobu to boast too, if you want to encourage your rival to put his all into beating you."

"Meh." You offer that most lifeless of syllables in the most lifeless tone of voice, shrugging your shoulders, "What does it matter, anyway? I can't get strong enough to win, not in three months."

"Sure, we can take a break!" Clemmy agrees cheerfully, not slowing her onslaught in the slightest. She brings her sword crashing town towards Oda's head, and he catches it with his own blades held in an X-shape.

"No good! There's no spirit in that reply!" The pirate Captain chides you.

"...I think I'm done eating, I'm gonna go back to my room. Bye guys, it was nice seeing you again." You lifelessly ball up the meal bar wrapper and try to get around the duelists.

"Oh no you don't!" Clemmy hooks her ankle against yours, and twists, sending you sprawling. She jumps back, and holds up her practice sword, "Oda, say whatever you're gonna say, and then I'll knock the life back into him if it's the last thing I do."

"Nani!? No, this boy's heart is hurt! Clemmy-chan, beatings aren't what's needed here. We need a special trick." Oda tosses his swords to Mohammed, who catches them, then hauls you to your feet with one hand, "Caesar-kun, your kokoro hurts, doesn't it? Your waifu was stolen, wasn't she?"

You knock his hand away with a growl, "Yes."

"And you weren't strong enough to stop it." He questions in a way that isn't really a question.

You nod curtly, "No, I wasn't." You loathe the self-pity that creeps into your voice, "I guess I'm just not as good as my dad was."

"Hold on! With that attitude, you'll never surpass your odo-san!" Captain Oda barks at you, "Right now, you can't accomplish anything. You have no fighting spirit, no killing intent, and your chakra is depleted. It's no wonder you're feeling like this...but I can help you. In just a matter of minutes. Will you trust me? If so, put your feet as wide apart as your shoulders, fists held back by your hips, like this!" He demonstrates.

You lifelessly do as he says, "Eh, alright." You sigh, then yelp as the tip of a wooden sword cracks against your knuckles and the back of your knees in swift succession.

"Back straight, fists tighter, proper stance!" Clemmy insists. For the sake of not getting hit again, you obey.

"Subarashi! Now, yell!" Oda nods, removing his helmet and taking up the same stance across from you.

"Yell?" You question him.

"Hai! Yell with all your spirit!" He nods as if it makes perfect sense, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

You're going to look so stupid, you can already feel it.

You don't want to, "Really, I don't need to."

"Yell!" He insists, "AHHHHHH!"

Jove damn it, it's easier to just go with the flow, "Ahhhhhh."

"No! Baka! You're just sighing loudly! Tense up your entire body until your muscles shake, feel their radiant energy!" His eyes blaze with intensity.

"Ahhhhhh!" You make your voice a little louder.

"No! You're shouting from your throat, but the root of your chakra lies further down! Shout from your belly! AHHHHHH!"

"AHHHHHHHHH!" You're still not sure what this is supposed to accomplish.

"Almost! Get angry, shonen! Frustration and sadness are dirty and greasy, like oil, and oil is flammable! Ignite those feelings! Turn your sorrow into anger! Your waifu is in danger, and she needs your strength! Put the anger, the tears, and all of the love in your heart into your voice, Caesar-kun! Rise on the thermals of your blazing spirit! AHHHHHHHHHH!" He roars.

People are staring wherever you look, and you feel your face turning red. You want to run off and hide, but some deep-buried, stubborn part of you points out that you already wanted to do that. So you shout. You shout for Naomi. You put all of your feelings into it, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Roars Captain Oda.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Roars Caesar Merrow. You can feel your muscles shaking from the tension in them, and the fury you thought had cooled and dissipated is surging up in you again. The Paladin stole your girlfriend, and YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE HER BACK! "AHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" Muscles flex and bulge beneath Oda's robes.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" You aren't sure why you're suddenly so full of energy, but you are. You could lance 16-Psyche in half right now.

"SUGOI! SUGOI, OTOKO! I think your hair turned blonde for a moment!" Oda points dramatically skyward, "To surpass your enemy, you must surpass yourself! To surpass yourself, you must become...SUPER CAESAR! To become SUPER CAESAR, you must fill yourself with determination!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" You respond.

All of that apathy is investing itself. So what? So what if your dad is going to kill you and you've just deserted the military! Why bother? Why bother holding back, you don't have anything to lose! You don't think you can get stronger? You can't trust that until you try, "AHHHHHHHHHH!" You shout, your eyes blazing behind your glasses.

"You both look like you need to go to the bathroom." Shukriya notes.

"Alright! That's enough!" Oda claps you on the shoulder, "Caesar, as a man, I acknowledge you! Listen, becoming strong is the only way to reclaim your waifu for laifu, but you don't have to be stronger than that guy! You are a pirate now, and part of the ironclad code a pirate should live by is that you can depend on your nakama! This isn't just a rescue mission, it's a heist, and you're with experts there!"

Is he right? He may be insane, but you can't find a flaw in his logic. After all, didn't you set out to become a hero like your dad? Didn't your dad kill the original Green Men, who were probably as strong as the golden Paladin? Shouldn't the Mk. II version of the Merrow family's protagonist be stronger than the Mk. I!? "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" You no longer want to stop shouting, channeling all of your shock, pain, and frustration into it.

"Oda, you broke him!" Clemmy complains.

"No, nee-sama, I fixed him. This is the true form of a man." Oda proclaims grandly. "Stop whenever you want, Caesar-kun."

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhrrkcoff." You sputter at the end, your throat going dry.

Oda picks your drink up off the table and hands it to you. "Good job, very resilient! You're worth training!"

"Hm. That sword doesn't suit him. I mean, it's nice and all, but...it doesn't really fit his fighting style." Clemmy remarks, looking at the basket-hilted weapon at your waist.

Oda nods sagely, "Indeed, come with us!"

[Continued]

God dammit I love Oda.

>>796300
>>796305
>>796316
Well... Akai is sixteen and don't think of Oda in this way, even if he is her "oni-chan", because he is the most similar thing she has of a fatherly figure.

Also, Oda protects the purity of his imoutos.

In fact, i already thought a little about it as people were talking about "Tourney shiping" but Akai seems too young to be a romantic interest to most of the cast, and maybe too chuuni to be in any harem at all.

"Oda, you broke him!" Clemmy complains.

"No, nee-sama, I fixed him. This is the true form of a man." Oda proclaims grandly.

I love this guy, and i still think that he is BEST BOY(after Roarke).

>>796363
Do it Caesar! Grow! Become strong! Turn into the Sword that Smites Evil!

>>796388
Oda won't have a harem.

Plus, it can wait. We're gonna be in this long enough to see Roarke's kids, after all.

He and Clemmy lead you off to a nearby gym, where some of the Iron Kestrels are sparring with practice swords or doing exercises to stave off zero-G sickness. Much to your surprise, Captain Oda opens up a locker and takes out a mono-blade katana and wakizashi.

"Wow, it's nice, but I'm not sure it's really me." You try to be as nice as possible. The light-up dragons on the saya aren't really your thing.

"Hai! This is for me!" Oda announces proudly, going over to a bin and pulling out a nine-foot wooden pole, which he tosses at you like a javelin, "This is yours!"

A stick. It's a stick. Has he really, truly snapped.

"Now, attack me!" He insists.

You look at the staff, so long you can barely swing it properly and are forced to use it like a pike. You look at his swords, which despite their ornamentation have very serious edges as he draws them with a flourish. This is clearly a very bad idea.

Meh. You do it anyway. You're past the point of worrying about things like this.

I'm just picturing Fatima chasing the kids around to get them to hold still for a family picture, while Sam and Karen fuss over Roarke's clothes, Clemmy is dying laughing at Fatima's struggle, Lori is already posing, and Siren is fixing the background decorations to make sure everything is in order.

You plan to do a short series of jabs aimed at his face and body, then strike seriously at his knee when his attention is focused on guarding high.

Instead, he leans out of the way of your first jab, his shorter sword zipping through the air and cutting a few inches from the tip of your staff, "Hmm, yes, it's throwing you off-balance. Keep going!"

You're worried that the angle he sliced it at is so acute the tip is now sharp, but as you lunge at his stomach he proves your fears unfounded, shearing off another six inches of the stick, "Still unbalanced!"

With your spear now shortened a bit, it's easier to handle, but you're taking more risks with each lunge. Your motions have less straight angles now, flicking back and forth like a polearm. You might as well try to hit a ghost, Oda is as fast as a demon despite his bulk, knocking your stick aside twice as he shaves it down a little more with his swords, less than an inch each time. Then, finally, he bellows, "Stop! Perfect!"

Your stick is now a bit over six feet long.

Clemmy, watching with her arms crossed, nods, "He'll grow into that height, it's a good choice."

You look at the stick, wondering what they're on about. Do they have some whopping two-handed sword stashed somewhere?

Oda beckons over a Storm Dragon training with the Kestrels, and whispers what sounds like a serial number to him, "Run like the wind, kouhai!" He instructs.

"Hai, taishou-sama!" The pirate, forehead protector polished to a mirror shine, bows deeply and runs off. For some reason, he runs with his arms held behind him.

Oda watches proudly.

"You're looking, uh, well." You address Clemmy.

She grins cheerfully, "Never better!"

"So you and Admiral Starwind are happy. That's good, I'm really glad." You're not just saying that, you're happy things worked out for the dangerous blonde woman.

She laughs and ruffles your hair, "Following your heart always works! Roarkey is lovely and I love him and he loves me and we're together forever, just like it should be. It's a shame Fairy doesn't understand." She sighs sadly, "She won't understand why you left either, but I do. You made the right choice, Naomi's a good girl, and even though I heard about why things happened like this...I don't think it's her fault. She never CHOSE to be on their side. You can't help the way you're born, or who your parents are, and from what I remember of her she was just a nice girl with a good attitude and a lot of skill. If we get the chance, I'm gonna make sure she gets back to you okay. Count on it." She winks. You're a little surprised, part of you expected her to casually announce an intention to slay Naomi for being the clone of a Green Man, and had been dreading it.

This lets you be candid with her, keeping your voice low while Oda is inspecting the technique of the other pirates practicing swordplay, "You really think I did the right thing?" Honestly, I...I don't know if I did. Maybe if I'd just surrendered, Naomi would be safe with the military."

"No, she wouldn't." A quiet, feminine voice utters from so close behind you that it makes you jump in involuntary surprise.

You turn around, finding yourself looking down at a short woman in a black fencing outfit. Her hair is long and dark, her lips painted black, and her smile is warm and friendly.

Clemmy glares at her, "Butt out, sneak. Don't listen to her, Caesar, she's never beaten me once."

"A battlefield isn't the same as a sparring ring." The dark-haired girl insists.

Clemmy snorts, "Psh, spoken like a true loser. Listen to her, Caesar, and she'll have you using a poisoned blade and drugging people's tea and stabbing them in their sleep. You'll become a coward and all of your strength will dry up."

"I don't think you have the right to talk about other people using indirect warfare, Butcher." The dark-haired girl replies calmly.

Clemmy's fist tightens on the hilt of her practice sword, "Ohohoho! Big words from a little coward!"

"Indeed." The newcomer shrugs, not rising to the bait, "Ensign Merrow, right? It's lovely to meet you, but you're wrong if you think she would have been safe with Fairchild."

"Hey!" Clemmy growls.

The girl ignores her, "You were at the Battle of Auditorium, right? You saw Galbadie's broadcast, and those women with the silver headbands, didn't you?"

You nod, wondering if you should get out of the way of what feels like an impending catfight.

"Fatima Ahmad's betrothed had her wearing one when OUR..." She glares at Clemmy, "...Roarke rescued her. I doubt the Green Skulls developed that technology themselves. Even if they did, it doesn't matter, since clearly members of the SSL's upper-ranking military had access to them. I suspect, though, that they were developed here. Too many of the pieces fit that way. If they are something developed in secret by the UJCIDF, it stands to reason that they thought they might have need to control someone dangerous without destroying their piloting abilities...right?" She raises her eyebrows.

You nod jerkily, not liking the implication at all.

"Fairy would not!" Clemmy insists, "You're always telling lies about her and trying to poison Roarke against her! Why do you have to be such a bitch!? Commodore Abujamal was scum, of course he probably bought that...that tiara thing from the Green Skulls!"

"Why can't you see what she really is!? She's not your friend, Alice, she just wants to use you, and the reason she treats Roarke like she does is because she wants to use him too and he's too smart to play along with it!" The dark-haired girl stands her ground.

"Don't cry to Roarke about me beating you up, you deserve it!" Clemmy pushes forward, and you barely manage to hold her back, which takes more courage than you previously believed you possessed.

"How can the Butcher be so naive? You said it yourself, she's never satisfied, and you KNOW she's done things that go against what we swore to protect when we joined the UJCIDF!" The dark haired girl takes a fighting stance.

"She and Roarke can get along! I know they can! You don't think so because YOU're a coward who doesn't believe in him!" Clemmy is practically shouting, "You don't believe in anyone!"

"Don't you ever say that I don't believe in Roarke ever, ever again." The little monochrome woman bristles with fury, hefting her wooden sword like she actually intends to fight Clemmy. "You don't have the right to teach Merrow, anyway. He was getting real lessons from the Colonel, what can you possibly teach him?"

"How to fight with his heart! Let me show you!" Clemmy roars, as you throw your shoulder against her to try and stop her just climbing over you to reach her adversary.

You see Oda making his way back towards you, calling out, "Noooo! Imoutos, don't fight! Please, it would make aniki sad!"

"DON'T SNITCH OR YOU'LL DIE!" Both of them roar at Oda simultaneously, brandishing their practice swords.

Fortunately, you're all saved by the return of the Storm Dragon. He scurries in, holding a box a bit under three feet long under his arm and presenting it to Oda. Oda takes it, maneuvering to join you between the two women, keeping them apart. He presents the box with a flourish, and opens it.

Despite yourself, you're a little disappointed. It's just a shortsword.

Yes, it's mono-edged, but your current sidearm is longer and broader. This one has a short, straight blade with a needle point, about two feet long. The handle is long for the length of the sword, but lacks anything resembling a guard. The blade even scallops inward slightly before reaching the grip.

"There's a scabbard in there too, ototo." Oda announces proudly.

He's like a big puppy, you almost feel bad about disappointing him, but this definitely isn't your sort of weapon, "I'm not sure if it's right for me. It's a nice sword, but isn't it a bit small?"

"Ahhhh." He nods in smug understanding. "Hold the grip in one hand and the pommel in the other. Then twist." He demonstrates.

You try it, and nearly drop it as the handle telescopes out until you're holding a full-sized spear. The layers of metal fit seamlessly together, it's hard to tell from seeing it transformed that it was ever a smaller weapon. You give it a few experimental swings and stabs, and find that it's perfectly weighted and exactly the right size for you to maneuver it around.

"A spearman should have a spear." Oda announces, "And the finest of spears is of course the honorable yari, from glorious Nippon itself. This tonbo-giri will never let you down!" He insists.

You spin it around in a swift circle, toss it in the air, and catch it. "Wow." You admit. This thing feels absolutely lethal in your hands, and now that you know what it is having a shortsword mode isn't entirely bad.

"Hai, and it costs-ow! Clemmy-chan, why did you do that?" Oda winces as Clemmy stomps on his foot.

"Because you're gouging the new recruit! Make it free, you have more than enough money." The blonde woman growls.

"But I have improvements to make! My nakama have families and Harpies that need to stay daijobu!" Oda protests.

The dark-haired woman huffs indignantly, "Oda, she's right! You can't just offer it to him and then sneak in a price like that, he'll take you seriously and I know you'll overcharge him. His father is incredibly, incredibly rich, the Merrows make us Blanchetts look like..."

"Like my family, is that what you wanna say, huh?" Clemmy bristles.

"Oh. You're Samantha." You're surprised you didn't recognize her sooner. It's hard to believe she's really Pierre's twin.

"Of course. Nice to meet you, Caesar. Thanks for looking after my brother and Naomi. We saw each other briefly on Auditorium, but you were busy and I was busy, so we never really got the chance to talk." She has a warm smile and it's easy to see why people like her. Apart from Clemmy, who looks like she wants to stomp her like a roach. "Don't worry. Roarke is a pirate, but he has the best heart in the galaxy, we'll bring Naomi home safe."

"About Naomi, did you know what they say she was? Is it true?" You question her.

She shrugs, looking uncomfortable, "It was never shared with the Squad A pilots, I suppose the General was keeping that information to herself. Still, it's really nice to meet Naomi's boyfriend, she's lucky to have you. Welcome to the Iron Kestrels, I'm sure Miles is already working on getting you a jacket and some sunglasses. If you want to spar together, I can give you some pointers, I'm one of the Colonel's students too and I won't beat you up like Clemmy does."

"Beatings make him strong! Caesar, don't believe her lies!" Clemmy wails at this attempted theft of her buddy.

Wong, how do you plan on handling the base acquisition, CP generation, and mecha building from now on? for example:
1- Can we freely combine mook mechs between themself with our free base?
2-The Harpy Plus is 120CP(Transformable Bluegill) or 140CP(Drillance level and -2MV)?
3-Can we transform the Knights into Osano-Wo?


Also, can martian use tranformable mechs like Master Harpies? Or is it haram?

Thoughts on my alternate Build for the Space Jam Wong?

>>796944

An excellent question. Ironically, from the top down. Worshipping the Greek/Roman pantheon came into vogue in the more esoteric circles of Jovian society a century or so ago, aided by the number of mystery cults that popped up among the Jovian upper crust. Eventually, a particularly charismatic reformer popularized it and it caught on among the people. At this time, Christianity and Islam had both more or less collapsed and there wasn't much competition, this was before Hakim and the Martian Caliphate, Mars under the Green Men was much more secular (aside from, you know, the spores and a general philosophy of eugenics).

Sometimes it's tempting to believe that the gods are just bastards.

>>796946

You can do this. Also, if there's anything you want to say to try and get Clemmy and Samantha to get along (if you're brave enough), it could make Roarke's life easier down the line. Clemmy and Samantha's rivalry is different from Karen and Rosita's. Rather than being a grandiose and melodramatic rivalry full of chronic butthurt but also respect (Karen tries so hard because Red Siren is a high standard to try and beat, Red Siren considers Karen enough of a threat to be worth acknowledging and even views her as a peer where love is concerned) Samantha and Clemmy are unfortunate enough to simply rub each other the wrong way. They dislike each other on instinct and bring out each other's worst qualities.

>>796950

Conceptually it's interesting and I prefer it to just making it Scattershot and going "shotgun lol", but you I worry about how little ammo you have.

>>796953

Through a licensed Bucephalus Heavy Industries outlet, there are plenty of them willing to supply PMCs. As for SMALLER colony defense forces, no, hell no even. CDFs are lucky if they have two dozen Bluegills because that's enough to protect them from most pirate bands prior to the era of Roarke. Suleiman 1 had Shetlands, as most do.

>>796956

Slow, clunky Heavy Strikers. One of the reasons why the Bluegill design endured is because when the War was over small, cheap mecha that were cost-efficient were what the UJCIDF wanted, and thus Heavy Strikers and larger mecha were moved from standard to more specialized roles.

>>796966

I don't really think about Charon, I imagine they're called after whatever colony they're from. Does Charon even have any resources worth exploiting?

>>796968

1. QM decides
2. Let me think on it then ask me again
3. Actually, turning the Knights into a MP version of Oda's ride is quite viable.

>transformable mecha

Yes, they can.

>>796997
Nope, but their all archived in that one thread

>>797005
>I don't really think about Charon, I imagine they're called after whatever colony they're from. Does Charon even have any resources worth exploiting?

I wouldn't know. I just know that Charon is one of the 8 Satellites in the Sol system that would be viable to colonize because it apparently has an internal ocean.

Do the Phobos and Deimos replacement colonies have a different culture compared to Mars or are they just extensions?

>>797006
Man, it's gonna be a pain trying to find that thread.

>>797005
What would we get by combining a Knight with a Pumpkin Seed II? And when are you running next?

>>797022

Phobos and Deimos are under direct control of the Martian Holy Militia, and are more like gigantic Martian bases than anything else.

>>797028

Tomorrow.

What you would get is probably just a Knight with a Pumpkinseed II's weapon systems. Not all combinations are an improvement.

>>797044
Is a Beam Weapon like this:

>-"IEW-14" Beam Sniper Rifle: Range 64(8), WA 0 (Long-Range), 8K, Infinite Ammo, 21 CP, 21 Spaces, 4 tons, Long-Range (Space Efficiency: 16, 8 CP)

Viable for mass-production?

>>797005
>Conceptually it's interesting and I prefer it to just making it Scattershot and going "shotgun lol", but you I worry about how little ammo you have.

While I kind of agree, I think it balances out with it being Burst firing and the fact that the shotgun, like the grenade launcher, is just an addon for the autogun. The way I see it, it's an option for pilots who don't want the ESTER, but still really want to ruin a dudes day since the burstfire scatter shot will fuck armor up.

>>797005
Makes sense. Heavy Striker would be the basis for the unrefined servos and hydraulics, and trying to put that sort of stuff in a smaller frame would have complications for the first run machines. Mind you, I can see many companies trying for it since it could help revolutionize things, just none really succeeding until the Bluegill.

>>797056

A 29 CP gun, assuming I'm reading that right? I don't know if it's yet viable for mass production, but it's very likely to see issue for a specialist squad of snipers.

>>797056
my 'grunt' suit has a 30-50 CP gun.

just... putting things in perspective for ya.

>>797092
Huh, good to know.

Would a 15 CP Beam Rifle be a more viable mass-production option? Just checking because I wasn't sure if the weapons Iskander Interstellar is developing would be considered revolutionary.

>>797190
business and family don't mix,

>>797200
That's a terrible analogy. Especially with the existence of Double Penetration.

>>797109

The 29 CP one is fine, it just wouldn't be standard-issue for line units because it's a sniper rifle.

I can easily see it seeing widespread use with something relatively cheap like a Pumpkinseed I with improved sensors to make something akin in purpose to the Zaku I Sniper. Heck, I can even see a lot of validity in adding it to the Pumpkinseed II along with possibly a variant melee weapon to create a standard Pumpkinseed II Command Variant. Generally speaking, it has the potential to see a lot of use even though the old (and inaccurate) Ajax sniper cannons packed a bit more punch.

I'd also consider making it fragile, I've noticed that you're more likely to lose your arm entirely than you are to have a specific weapon targeted. Regardless, Iskander would make a killing for developing a decent general-use sniper beam cannon.

>>797260
Alright, that sounds pretty awesome. Iskander's whole thing is making what was once cutting edge more available.

Is it possible for something like this:
>"IEW-11" Beam Rifle: Range 11, WA +1, 8K, Infinite Ammo, 12 CP, 12 Spaces, 4 tons (Space Efficiency: 7, 3.5 CP)

To be standard-issue for line troops?

>>797271

Bucephalus almost certainly has a beam rifle with those stats, likely to replace the standard Heavy Cannon on Command versions of the Palomino II.

Additional sidenote on the IEW-14, a Cannon Pumpkinseed that replaces the standard Heavy Cannon with the IEW increases in cost to roughly the same CP total as a Pumpkinseed II. Since a Manta can handle a lot of their speed problems, Avalon might have a lot of trouble with these new variants in the future. So yes, it would be revolutionary because you could employ squads of snipers instead of having one ace with a super-cannon like the S-Slinger.

Alright I finished my Mech, what are you're thoughts on it? I couldn't decide between Melee and Missiles so I just went with both. And what are the stats on our pilots?

http://pastebin.com/itFQ8Mrw

>>797088

Also the Scimitar.

>>797301
Command versions of mechs are Squad leaders and such, right? So it would be unusual for the rank and file to all be carrying IEW-11's?

And that note on the IEW-14 is pretty awesome.

So anyone else think all of our line mechs should be heavy strikers?, and specialists should be lighter, or am i alone in that opinion

and now for something a lot less useful

Blast Shield
Hand held Heavy Striker Shield:, space 1 (hand held), Sp 7, weight 3.5 tons, D.A -2, 4 spaces in binder, 10 CP
“Harmonica” shield mounted wide angle laser weapon: 8 kills (1 kill of structure), weight 0.5 tons, Hex angle, WA -1, range 5.5 (50%), clip fed, 3 shots, 3 cp of weight efficiency, 12.1 CP

total cost: 22.1 CP
total weight: 4 tons

>>797314

Yes. Squad leaders, officers, etc. As for the IEW-11s, it would be unusual for now to see Bahamutcorp machines made to use them. Bucephalus as it stands probably would like to standardize something like that. A high-yield beam rifle is always a useful upgrade, as we've seen with Amos.

>>797327
Looks like that's another area that Iskander would be able to make a market for themselves.

By the way, I found this on the Mekton Zeta 1d4chan page:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HrqFYexa2QrbEBJi0EeCmK5Fa8B1nD63aLHygAnLVvM/edit

It should make mech building a little easier, maybe.

>>797314

Nine and fifteen point five is not a huge difference, I'll math out the Palomino II tomorrow and see whether it can fit it in standard.

>>797339
Getting the stats on the Palomino series would be pretty nice.

>>797302
Your math looks fine, I think.

Overall, it looks like a standard Medium Striker with non-standard weaponry.

>>797345

They're standard Medium Strikers with a ranged penchant, I'll tell you that in advance.

>>797356
I had a feeling that was the case seeing as its main competitor was the Pumpkinseed series.

The Myrmidon might be a significant refinement of the Palomino, seeing as most of Iskander's personnel are firmer Bucephalus.

>>797354
Yeah, I didn't really feel like experimenting cause just building that near standard thing took me a few hours.

>>797365
What I did was read over the Rogues' Gallery and use some of what Wing already typed up as a basis for my Mechs

>>797356
How much CP should our mecha cost for the tournament?

>>797513
140 is the limit. No beta grade armor or energy shields.

>>797513
>>797521
So I had an idea for a mech, inspired by the first thread's jury rigging, but it may be too gimicky.

Someone's taken two basic harpies, and basically kitbashed them together to create some heretek machinery. Stripping out the wings of the first machine to replace with a second set of arms from the other, and moving the thrusters from all four sets of wing thrusters to the legs of the new machine.
