Some weapon factories died, but majority of the large corps bought into IS manufacturing to stay afloat. However, due to IS core secrecy and the techshare clauses of Alaska, this is limited.

Some other companies got into producing Equalizers, allowing them to make money off OTHER PEOPLE'S IS, and these guys got FILTHY rich.

Fujitaka Heavy Metals (owned by Riselle's family) is one such company, supplying both Japan and the whole of ASEAN with reliable parts. Dunois Industries functions like Anaheim Electronics in the Meisterverse, supplying Equalizers to everyone... including some people they really shouldn't. They however are big enough to do both equalizers and IS, and their extremely modular flagship IS line feeds their other merchandise.

And then there's giants like Stark Industries whose firearms can compete with the most common generation of IS.

Have you ever wondered how those two worlds could be brought together?

Tempest35 · 2015-01-23, 11:18

That would be either putting IS into CG, CG into IS, or a bit of both into a brand new AU... And I don't see Ichika and Lelouch working together... Ichika's too idealistic for Lelouch...

Tabane could have been 'stolen' by the US and this is what lead to their 2nd rise to power and to the Imperialistic line that would become *Britannia-esqe*, using the relatively few IS cores that she had. They might also bolster the production of the Frames as well with the boom in IS tech but the two would have to be separate from each other. Virtually everyone connected would not know that the IS are connected through the Core Network...which gives Tabane the advantage...

Need to stop thinking about every little plot thread...some aren't needed -snip-snip-

- Working TOGETHER? Why, when did you think Lelouch would let someone who reminds him so much of Suzaku's stupidity but has none of his skills to work with him?

And the potential arguments with Cecilia oh my go my sides my painful sides

It would be amusing to know that Tabane is playing Lelouch like a puppeteer.

- Even more amusing would be Lelouch's breakdown when he finds out. You know how dramatic Lelouch's breakdowns are.

Also: I'm using this for fic reference. It makes sense that a character whose primarily skill is thrown weapons would have had a grounding in archery before anything else.

And once again: ICHIKA!!! Learn from THIS guy, willya?!?

I initially thought you guys were talking about putting Cinderella Girls in Infinite Stratos and I thought it was a brilliant idea.

"Shimamura Uzuki, I'll do my best!"

- No, we'll leave that to experts like you to write. :P

...or we could make like Urobutcher and introduce an Idol Competition for the Candidates but one that works like Battle Royale/Hunger Games/DanganRonpa and ends with one of each girl being brutally murdered at the end of each episode. There can be only one.

It is also too damn cliche.

Wait wasn't there this anime where all the love interests were yandere and it was way better at romance than IS ever was?

@Box She's still alive and cannot apologize.

Quote:

It was dead quiet at twilight when Kokuto halted her car.

The dark blue of the sky was interrupted only by the silent falling of snow.
Little patches of white that stuck to the car window only seconds before melting
away. Haruko kept the engine and heater running as the vehicle sat on Taisetsu
National Highway, on the southern bend where it turned away from the frigid
Ishikari River. Daisetsuzan National Park had at its core a volcanic mountain
range popular with hikers in summer and skiers in winter. It was not secluded, but
in the cold white brush of winter few tourists emerged at night. In the long
nights of dark and cold it was ideal for the secretive few to set up camp.
The car would travel on through to Sounkyo Gorge and Kitakami, where Kokuto would
report back to HQ. But for <Ren> this was the end of the road.

No backpack, not even a quiver for the arrows. Haruko sat silently,
observing <Ren> do a final check on her gear. During the long days of travel,
<Ren> had managed to stitch together the remnants of her old gray clothing with
the insulated white ski jacket and pants Haruko had acquired. <Ren> only wore thin
gloves, arguing she needed to keep her hands free. The many shuriken and knives
were unseen, hidden in pockets and the belt pouches on <Ren>'s body. Only the two
short swords and bow were obvious to Kokuto's view. The arrows she carried were
eight, all in her hands.

The trip from the warm summer beaches to the cold mountains was spent mostly in
silence, save for the occassional question on the mission. Haruko felt
uncomfortable, as <Ren> did not bother to ask why this operation had to be carried
out, nor to what purpose. Kokuto surmised that by now, she no longer cared. But
the silence was something Haruko did not relish. Oddly, she missed the frequent
sharp barbs and sarcasm they used to share.

"Have you ever heard the story of the White Snake?"

<Ren> paused in her task of fitting a white balaclava to her face, giving Haruko a
blank look.

"It's an old chinese tale. I just want to talk and keep the air in here warm."

<Ren> pulled off the white mask. "Go ahead."

That was anticlimactic. Haruko was expecting at least a single insult, but
decided not to push it. "The story goes that a boy named Xu Xian saved a young
white snake from death. The white snake then feels indebted to the boy, and spends
the next years of her life learning to become human." Kokuto paused at <Ren>'s
impatient glare. "Long story short, a lot of weird light novel hijinks happen,
among which she becomes friends with a green snake and gets chased down by a
buddhist monk trying to exorcise her. She eventually meets Xu Xian as a young man
later on and marries him. Thing is, by this time the monk finally tracks them both
down and imprisons the snake. The monk then said their relationship was forbidden
by the laws of nature and should never have happened. The end."

"That's a pretty bad ending to a fairy tale."

"People tell fairy tales because they can't tell the truth," Haruko was looking
straight ahead. The darkness was deepening, and the snow began to build up. "It
doesn't matter if your reasons are good and just. You can't question what's
established without being labelled an enemy."

"So I'm as bad as Phantom Task, now?" <Ren> replied. Silence was the response.

The passenger door opened, and cold air cut into the car. <Ren> pulled the white
balaclava fit snugly over her mouth and nose, a minor comfort against the frost
and snow. The hood of the ski jacket went over that, and only then did Kokuto
realize she was looking at <Ren> in her natural state.

Ninja. A white snake in the snow.

"Kokuto." <Ren> held the bow in her right hand, the clutch of arrows in her left.
The darkness made it hard to see her eyes through the white mask. "I'm not the
tragic heroine in this story."

"I guess not." Haruko chuckled but found herself unable to follow. Always
staying behind, where I can't make a difference. Almost an afterthought: "I'll
keep you in touch with Ichika's progress."

The wind was beginning to pick up.

"Stop pitying me."

"Pity you? It's the guys you're hunting down I really pity." Haruko spoke with new
strength in her voice. Then a smile. "Promise me you'll get back here. It's our
job to watch over Orimura Ichika, remember? The job's not done yet."

<Ren> did not turn around.

"I can't make that promise."

The white figure disappeared into the white snow.

One question: Why put Ren's name in '<>' mark?

wavehawk · 2015-01-25, 04:33

...didn't I explain that at least a half dozen times already: To make it obvious that it's not her real name.

Tempest35 · 2015-01-25, 07:09

Well boys and girl... I'm off traveling . Expect posts few and far between for the next two weeks. Yay, I say with an excited look.

Adding onto my previous answer, the prologue for Vandam quickly summarizes the new world order as well.

StratoSpear · 2015-01-25, 20:08

What if. What if.... Someone preceded Ichika as the first male IS pilot? Something like the case of the Innovators: Setsuna is the first genuine Innovator while Descartes is the first known Innovator. Circumstances could be different though, we can't have Ichika getting killed off by the ELS now, can we?

- Without it becoming public knowledge? What if it's because the 'male' actually had a sex change, and then found himself being able to pilot the IS because of it?

...........

did I just...did I...

...I hate my brain.

StratoSpear · 2015-01-25, 20:23

No no no no~

I mean ACTUAL male. A guy. No sex change or "disguise as opposite gender" crap. And yes, without public knowledge.
