An asymmetrical. A bit swifter and heavily armed, you feel a bit safer knowing you have the durable war machine under you. The specific model though, is what makes all the difference.

>Newt. A big, fat, practical weapons platform. It relies on keeping distance to hammer targets with range.
Armaments:
-Cruise missile array. - fires cruise missiles. seeker weapon
-Railgun - the most powerful in anti-armor kinetic weapons, easy to fire.
-2 heavy cannon turrets. - staple weapon
-Additional armor

>Axolotl. Experimental, and mounted with stealth tech, this mech can turn invisible! It can either get close or take foes at medium range.
Armaments
-Energy blade/mech claws. - A blade that slices through armor like hot butter, and claws that can tear through metal.
-Heavy Anti-armor cannon - staple weapon
-Cruise missile silo - fires cruise missiles.
-Seeker missiles - seeker explosives.
-Stealth system - go invisible.

>Salamander Squat and oddly rounded, the Salamander bears the latest weapons in warfare, with a powerful reactor to power them.
Armaments
-Onager - meant for downing starcrusiers, mounting this weapon was a miracle.
-Energy Beam - A mining tool weaponized as a great beam of death.
-seeker missile bank - small seeker weapon.
-Heavy Anti-armor cannon. - staple weapon
-Top secret power supply - allows use of atypical weapons.

Just because you said >>2123593.

But realistically, the salamander's armaments' ranges don't match up together too well, which means Shoot-Em-Up becomes less usable. And, of course, superweapons always tend to have some annoying downsides to their use.

Meanwhile, we have bonuses to ranged combat, which makes the Axolotl's melee options less preferable, even without considering the hassle required to actually get into melee range.

Not one for subtlety, you chose the massive brute of the Newt, terror of battlefields.

You wipe the windows clear of your cockpit. Around you stretches... Trees? Trees. Are you on a resort world? That's not right. That'd be light-years away from your post at best!

Checking the comms trafic, you find... nothing. Zilch, nada.

For some reason, your fuel and ammo is reading as full. you were shorted for the excercises though... what's happening? You survey the lay of the land...

There is a city! No, cities have spires into the clouds. This looks like a walled recreation of an ancient city humans once made, with a palace in the center. IS this one of those worlds rich LARPers buy to pretend to be medieval?

There's a town closer to you too! Along a river you can see a great plume of smoke and a crowd of people within a wooden wall. There are no electronic signals. Is it a performance? There is a stage.

Off to one side, you can trace a river out of this forest. it extends into mountains behind you.

There is a large gathering of nonhuman lifeforms on your sensors away from the town and city's direction.

>what's your course of action, pilot?

>>2123608

well THIS is a twist.

town i guess?

>>2123606
Each plays differently. The Newt is basically a brute. none of them are bad choices.

>>2123601
>only the onager is a superweapon.
The Salamander is intended to bring a decently rounded set of weapons intended to either kill outright or sustain fire.

>>2123608
What's our sensor suite like? Can we analyze the town from a distance?

Otherwise, switch off most of our auxiliary systems; we may want to conserve power if there isn't any resupply to be found in this foreign environment.

>For the record, if anyone is worried, yes, there WILL be mech fights

>>2123618

>>2123618
>>2123621
You flick off auxiliary systems, causing outside air to seem in. Vegetation. You haven't smelled that since you were a child... before your homeworld was evacuated... The nostalgia. No time to reminisce. You check your sensor suite. You have good range on your mech, enough to listen in if you stay in the treeline, but at this range, you can still scan.

You can read 300+ human life forms. Traces of unknown energy, and no electronic devices. There is a bonfire in the center in town. About ten people are positioned around stage, while the rest stay in a large crowd. you find large amounts of forged iron, concentrated at two buildings and the humans on the stage, save one.

>>2123637
>>2123627
Regrettably, your mech is not meant for civic action, and has no speakers you can use. Normally you'd use any nearby speaker system and hijack it, but the town and city lack this system.

All you can do is hide and listen in, or stride right into town with your mech... provided you stay in the safety of the machine.

>>2123830
terrain following the river is mountainous. the settlements appear to be in a valley of sorts that opens to rolling green hills. the lifeforms are located in dense forest.
>>2123827
>>2123647
you move your mech to a minimum distance of the town to hear. the trees obscure the mech, but you are able to listen in just fine. There is a large wooden structure at the edge of the village with a large amount of the strange energy within and a few human signatures. There is also energy coming from the men around the stage, who appear to be wearing armor, and a woman. There are human lifesigns fading in the bonfire that dominates the town center.

You have arrived just in time as the woman is brought onto the stage. "By the decree of our revered goddess, and the holy empress, we find this woman guilty of abusing the power of our priests without declaring her loyalty to the holy empress! She shall be sentenced to purification in cleansing fire!"
The woman, who has been masked with something, protests, "Please! I'm not a heretic! I've healed families in this town for years! Someone, stop them! They were-"
"In addition to this heinous crime, this woman was also found guilty of stealing from the granary and stealing livestock to sell to the forest folk. Hence, she shall have her hands removed before the cleansing."
"It was them! They were stealing! I would never!" The crowd merely boos her into silence and pelts her with rotten food.

Hey, they're actually burning people alive there. LARPing or not, that's too far. In violation of SEVERAL laws.

>What should be done?

>>2123862
Time to stomp in there and fire a warning shot, smallest ordinance we have. Then pop the cockpit and tell them to knock their shit off.

>>2123862
>Dont head out. Use external speakers. If you have those.
>Also fuck you've been isekaid.

You look for your speakers. The mech isn't meant for civic duty, but you do have a warning system... It's... loud.

You drive your mech in, stepping over the wooden wall. the reaction from the crowd is immediate, screaming and scattering away from you as you level your guns at the armored men on stage.

Your microphone wines as the loudspeakers crackle. Your voice, altered by your helmet, booms through the town.
"Attention, you are in violation of federal law. Cease your activities at once, or I will have to use force."

The soldier stares at the Newt, dumbfounded, before motioning to the other men, "By the goddess, a demon! Someone notify the Holy knights! Men, attack with me!" Leaving the woman tied on a post, a group of the men rush the feet of your mech.

>You are in combat, roll for- Hahahahah, what am I kidding, these morons are trying to cut through carbon nanofiber-lined titanium alloy.

Then the large building bursts open. Rising from the shadows of the wreckage, a humanoid mech is visible. No power signatures detected. It has a lance and a sword... and no ranged weapons.

>Next action?

I know I'm late to the party, but why oh why would we ever NOT choose the Ace Pilot class in quest that revolves around being in a mech? It makes the the entire first third of character generation seem pointless.

>>2124086
simple

How are we gonna get repairs for this mech?

congratz we now have to find a way to maintain this mech with no support in medieval fantasy land, or find a friendly mech pilot who can actually fix things

>We now have to find a way to maintain this mech with no support in medieval fantasy land, or find a friendly mech pilot who can actually fix things.

Unless this QM really knows how to play with tropes and subvert expectations I suspect some form of support will be made available sooner or later.

Maybe the Covert Ops might have been viable but then everyone would have been wanting to constantly leave the mech and be Solid Snek, or a Ghost. In which case it's no longer a mech quest. Then again if we doubled up on a stealth character and a stealth mech that might have been interesting.

All the same the entire premise of this quest primes the players to pick Ace over other possible choices.

I used to wonder why QTG seemed to think character gen was bad ,but these days I'm starting to realize why.

You level your railgun at the other mech and fire at the legs. The shot goes off, perhaps you hit your head when you appeared here? Regardless, it gouges a hole in the ground just behind the mech.

The strange humanoid vehicle glances back and pauses... You'd think the pilot never saw a railgun shot before.

"Unlicensed mech!" You assume this due to the lack of IFF or registry numbers, "Stand down and state rank! Any closer and I shoot!"

The other mech turns back to you, pointing the lance, "By the goddess what sorcery was that?!"

These guys are really taking the LARP seriously. You note that the mech's armor on one foot has taken damage from the debris. ...from the debris... it was damaged by the rocks you kicked up. What sort of armor does this thing have?

The ammo gauges... read full. Wait, it just reloaded... storage is full. That can't be right. Your ammo sensors must be borked. Holy hell did the technicians duct tape the interior sensors again?!

The other mech pilot is in shock.

The other mech draws the sword with its free hand... it's steel. The sword is steel.

"You face Quixote of the Royal Knights of the Goddess! I am the destroyer of giants!" You absently wonder if he confuses windmills for giants. It takes a hostile stance, "I won't stand down for the likes of you, monster!"

Your run opens fire on the knight. You put all your focus into getting this done. The shots blast the legs off first, then the arms, in accordance with disabling tactics. After this, your barrel rifling needs to cool. You don't know where the cockpit could be, but it's not in the limbs. The mech collapses to the ground, its limbs blown apart. The helmet's light flickering. The strange energy readings are rapidly lowering.

"H-how? I couldn't parry-" Quixote cuts off, immobilized. You look about, noting the soldiers at your feet were trampled while you shifted position to fire... whoops.

Between the downed mech and the bonfire, the woman stands, chained to the stage.

Quixote is disabled.

You move your mech to step on Quixote's, just to be sure. Lowering your vehicle, you open the cockpit. Your pistol drawn, you climb down. It seems the villagers are hiding from the mech after it beat the shit out of their guardian.

The hatch to Quixote's mech is easy enough to open. You level your gun at the man.

"Is that a pistol?" Quixote asks, coming to. he seems find but, very much tied down by his straps.

"I ask the questions." You reply, tying him in before rescuing the woman. She's easy to free. You simply shoot the chain free.

"W-what are you?"

>>2125561
Where did you come into possesion of this mech?

>>2125578
I'd like us to be cocky and have a healthy ego but still a decent person, Someone who is very skilled but also wrongly believes he can solve any challenge with his own skills and determination.

He is full of himself but not an asshole about it. someone who tries to "Rule of cool" whenever he can simply to look good, brushing off mistakes and errors with a quick "Meant to do that!"

"I'm the best at what I do, and right now that is saving beautiful women." You respond. The chained woman stares at you incredulously as if you just said you were the master of love.

"S-so... you mistook me at a distance and rescued a convicted witch? Putting yourself against the church of the All-powerful goddess?" She stammers. You realize up close that this girl is a mess. she probably hasn't slept. If it wasn't for your suit filters the smell of the town would probably be awful. A+ for authenticity LARPers, ew.

You move to Quixote, "Right, I'll ask the questions now. Where'd you get the mech?"

"The what?" Quixote is confused.

"The giant armored piece of shit you tried to fight me with. The thing I blew apart."

"The... Goddess Knight? You mean the goddess knight, right? The Empress awards them to the royal knights... who are you if you don't know this? To be this close to the capital..." Goddamnit, there's someone supplying these?

"Where does SHE get them?"

"I will never betray the Empress! The goddess will smite me from on high for such betrayal!" This Larping is getting seriously annoying.

"Kay, drop the roleplay, buddy, I'm pretty much the army."

"The what? You are of no army I know of! You're a coward hiding your face under that mirrored mask! A demon, sent to test us! I am nothing but the lowest rank! Other knights will destroy you, fiend!"

>What to do?

>>2125603

"Look, kid, I don't want to hurt you, but I'm sick of this LARP shit. Tell me what I want to know. Where the hell are we?" You ask the pilot. Quixote growls back.

"WHAT IS LARPING?! You're in Solgast! Just outside the holy city of the Empress! The Sacred city of Luxia!" Wait what if they spent generations larping? Holy shit, the kids would never know it was all a sham!

"I am Captain Alex, Proxima Aquarii Federation, 4th Fringe Machine Infantry, and you will not fuck with me. Tell me where the Empress gets your damn mechs!"

"Never!"

"You're the lowert rank, right? That means you're the bitchboy that got handed a hand me down Knight because you kissed enough ass to make your superiors take pity on how much a of a bitch you are."

"You heathen SCUM!" The knight spits at you, "I will see you flayed alive for this!"

"Please, I broke your shitty knight, the whole country frobably is just as easy to take down! Maybe I should march right to the capital, grab your whore of an empress, and burn her in this pretty campfire you made for me!" You respond, tired of the LARP shit.

"You bastard, you think you can take down the Knights?! the come from the goddess hersel-" The knight cuts off... to scream. It's like he's being burned from inside. He goes a glowing white, then implodes, leaving an empty set of pilot armor.

The woman is horrified, "T-the goddess smote him."

Holy fucking shit. Okay, so something literally burns things inside out here. Maybe the witch can help? Will she do that too?

You manage to shake your head clear of something that felt... bad... only to find yourself removed from both mech and woman. Someplace filled with mist and light.

A strange entity, looking like a beautiful woman with wings... and a halo, looks at you with reproach.
"A shame, I couldn't burn out your soul. So the one killing my worshippers, disrupting the purge of heretics, and destroying my knights is an outsider..." She states, glaring at you.

Her eyes narrow, "I didn't bring you here, but since I can't kill you... I'll have to summon another to do it. You don't look like much... One hero should do it."

With that the world fades into being... You stagger, the witch is beside you.

"Are you alright?!"

"Tactical retreat." You scoop up the woman and carry her heroically into the mech. After you set her down in your cockpit and quickly shut the door do you take stock.

Okay, so there is... SOMEONE who claims to be a goddess... who can override your senses. Gas? No, the dude was dead. this is an illusion, right?

>What to do now?

>>2125641

>You have a peanut butter and honey sandwich you made before training. it hasn't gotten weird yet.

You decide to hand the woman one of your nutrient bars. She looks it over befopre nibbling it. She quickly scarfs it down.

"S'so good!" She says through a full mouth. Yeah, no, these things taste horrible. Processed bricks of god knows what with flavoring.

You take her down from the cockpit to cargo. it's largely empty. You manage to throw together a place to rest using canvas cowling and tell her to sleep there.

You take stock of your parts. There's enough to repair joints and recouple weapons. The toolkit is basic. the air canisters can probably help cycle air if you turn off aux power... actually...

...Fuel is still full. Ammo is still full.

What the fuck, you used five rounds! there should be 20 left! You check the sensor on the rack, and the rack...

The rack is full. As if you never fired a shot...

You realize your mech is standing in the middle of a town you just fought in... near a capital under control of... something... that hates you.

You stride into the forest, dipping into the trees. The mech, now hidden, needs the lights on to navigate under the dense foliage. you're a good distance now... The city to one side, the town behind you, rolling fields after. Ahead, a cluster of lifesigns... to the opposite side of the city, mountains at the edge of this valley.

The river makes a pass up there. Interestingly if you focus your sensors, you can detect VERY slight electrical activity, but it flickers in and out, as if buried underground.
The forest lifesigns are not human, but near that size. They appear to be where the forest is far more dense. smaller lifeforms flit around the outside of this region.

You stride into the river, ascending into the mountains. Very little can be spotted on your radar, a few massive signatures in the distance... like a whale's size. On the surface.

You catch flickers of life around one mountain and electric signals. Further up the river is a crude, walled town. You see some figures riding creatures... wolves. armored wolf riders?

There is a lifeless side with a spike of strange energy.

what the actual hell? Those are costumes, right? Okay, those guys GOTTA know they are Larping.

You head to the hold, the woman is fast asleep...

You nestle your mech in an alcove, hiding it between rock formations. You head down to the cargo hold where your sleeping passenger is. It doesn't take much to awaken her. Groggy, she looks toward you. the bit of sleep seemed to help her but it's not near enough.

"Wha? Where?"

"The mountains... now, first things first. Will you burn out from inside from answering?"

She shakes her head, "Not a follower of Mera. Only priests and royal knights do that. I'm a heretic."

"What makes you a heretic?"

"Used magic that wasn't church-approved." Okay.... she did say magic. That doesn't exist. No way it can. We're talking fantasy stuff here. wait wait... could still be LARP. Magic could just be any sort of technology they hide somewhere. Man, these guys are seriously committed.

>What should you ask about?

>>2125755
do you wish to become the demon king? It is a possible option...

>>2125896
Who are you and what do you mean by magic?

>>2125896
>Let's... still go with the assumption that this is a LARP. What's the premise of it? Who are the major players here? Who is this Goddess - the 'Mera' she mentioned, you assume?
>Where are you? What major settlements not Goddess-aligned are close by? You'll need to find some supplies eventually, especially if you have another mouth to feed.
>Who is she? What does she mean by 'witch'? Where is she from, and where's a good place to eventually drop her off - since you assume she doesn't want to stay with you indefinitely.

I'm of the impression that, as a Captain, one of Alex's main priorities would be to reunite with his men. That would require reorienting himself and finding a way off of wherever this is. And naturally, upholding the regulations of the Federation - though one thing you learn rapidly in the military is just much those regulations can be bent without breaking them.

Most other things would be secondary. Even getting laid is something you do in bars when off-duty, not on the battlefield.

"Are you alright?" You ask, trying to make sure the girl is in decent shape...

"Better than I've been..." She replies, groaning.

"I'm Captain Alex. What's your name?"

"Mine? It's Hilda..."

"Who are the major groups here?"

"Aside from The Empress? Well, there's the pantheon, but in the holy empire, only Mera has power... unless you go outside human lines..."

"Right..." You don't get any of this. Pantheon? "What settlements aren't under the goddess?"

"Well, the forest folk, for one, the dwarves and orcs in the mountains come to mind... for humans, those are far, far away."

"Alright, so... assuming you don't know the location of a starport-"

"A what now?"

"...nevermind, you won't break character. What's a witch, and where is a safe place to take you?"

"A witch is... someone who doesn't use typical pantheon-based spells... more... atypical ones. And... that town was my home, I was born there. I don't have anywhere else..."

"Are you actually a witch?" You decide to ask for clarification.

"If I told you yes, what would you do?" She stares at you in clear worry. To be fair, you did just gun down the biggest toughest thing she might have ever seen.

"I'd ask you to show me the magic you have. We have no laws against being a witch where I come from. I'm just a soldier. Now, let's get rid of that collar. You don't belong in chains in my mech." You pause, "Can you free yourself?"

"I would if I could. This iron shackle is inscribed with sealing runes." Well, that's interesting. You dig through the toolbox. it's standard equipment, a plasma cutter, welding tool, multi-function tool, melding glue, nanopaste, insulated gloves, welding mask, and the toolbox itself if you wanted a weapon... Wait, plasma cutter!

Grinning, you grip the handle, the tiny blade of energy lighting up, "Hold still." the beam slices through the collar lock like warm butter. it falls to the floor with a metal clank. Hilda feels her neck.

"Wow... what an amazing tool..." she stares in disbelief.

"Can you show magic now?" You ask. She nods, producing a black flame above one hand...

hah.

hahahahahah... This is an illusion, right? Like stage magic at casinos, right? You reach out to touch it, and she quickly makes it vanish before you make contact.

"Are you trying to light yourself on fire?!" ...so it's dangerous? Okay then... "Are we in one spot? We should probably go find somewhere to hide from the royal knights!"

"Any suggestions?"

"Well, there are the dwarves in the mountains, and the elves in the deep forest, but finding them is near impossible..."

You get the feeling that something is awaiting you where the energy readings in the mountains were.

You clamber back to the cockpit. The mech slides out of the alcove. You want to find the dwarves. Hilda pokes her head up.

"Oh! You're already here! Uuuh... I've only heard traders say dwarves are here. I thought they had a trade post..."

You look around with sensors. The crude camp lies in the distance.
>This is a local camp, possibly full of 'orcs' all you know is they ride big wolves.

There is a mountain with strange energy readings coming from it, and a path you can just make out.
>This seems to call to you. Are there answers to why you are here? Hilda can't see the path at all, but senses powerful magic... Not Mera's.

A cave is far off. It looks too short for your mech to enter. A fire flickers deep inside, but illuiminates nothing.
