Might be able to fire ALL THOSE STINGERS for more BETA dakka?
Blue glows which meant A FREAKING REACTOR is insde that thing,which meant it don't need to rest at all?
Don't give a fuck about smaller strain because it iz bigga and they aze smalla?
Well,shit.
My fic just got more interesting,maybe all this waiting and Beta-ing(No,not that one)is good after all.*Evil smile*
That Fort-Laser Class BETA is even worse once you consider what the BETA are supposed to be and what its' appearance implies.
Resource-collectors, up until now, each BETA strain has been in some way design for resource extraction, like how Destroyer-classes are spades, Grappler are pickaxes, Lasers as heavy duty drillers, etc.
The Fort-Laser Class seems way too overpowered for any practical "civilian-use". It may be the first BETA we see designed specifically as a weapon, the first of the Superior's solution to humanity after taking the gloves off at Yokohama Base. It kind of validates their haste to start Operation Ouka and Operation Trident; a few more weeks/months and these Fort-Lasers would have been at the forefront of a redesigned and tactically guided BETA herd. It can be likely, given how easily the BETA breed/produce themselves, they were just starting production of these Fort-Lasers after analyzing the data from Yokohama Base when Operation Ouka started; as if I remember correctly, it was said that the BETA take a few days/week to formulate a response. Humanity attacked just as the first "solutions" from the Yokohama data was rolling off the BETA's version of the "assembly line".
Chronicles 04 as an August release is a bit quick.
I can't quite make out from the pic, but should we expect Kurogane's black Takemikazuchi to be the standard one with the simplified head or should he get the high mobility one?
Problem: The BETA are still evolving, even if we consider the Original Hive Superior being gone. The other Hives might be picking up the slack, likely experimenting with other BETA derivatives and trying out new tactics.
Just thinking: The Soldier-class BETA were constructed from Human tissue. So it's pretty likely that the BETA were thinking up alternate types and species to counteract whatever human beings can create--the main advantage that BETA have is that they can pretty much produce new variants/strains in a short period of time. On the other hand, humans still need development time to create new TSFs, and that's not taking into account how long it takes to train a human Eishi capable enough for the job.
I'm now wondering if taking ou the Original Hive Superior in ML:Alt only delayed things as opposed ot actually giving humanity a foothold against the BETA.
I had the impression that they're like Zergs
When you have an Overmind managing things, they are capable of tactics, learning, feints, and improvising
With the Overmind gone, they're back to rudimentary programmed functions
Then again, the Zergs knew how to make a new Overmind. Maybe it's the same for BETA

You could probably even theorize all those mythical creatures (like the Hydra) are actually based on memories human beings have of previous BETA invasions. Hell, you could probably (tongue fully in cheek) theorize the BETA were responsible for killing off the Dinosaurs and humans were among the very few creatures left alive after they strip-mined the planet the last time.
Man I really have to play the VN to get all the details. The Phase 3 is certainly no Shiranui at all. It is just a YF-23 painted in Shiranui 2nd colors, with a Shiranui like head mast, and equipped with Japanese weapons, pylons and jump units. I think they just jacked the two museum display pieces while the original weapons, pylons and jump units were kept elsewhere.
News reports from 6 months ago published the disappearance of a pair of prototype TSFs on display at the Chicago Tactical Forces Museum. The night security guard in charge of patrolling the area was found unconscious, and upon revival, claimed that it was done by ninjas, which was dismissed as ridiculous by the Japanese envoy Ikagura who was visiting. US military leaders have declined to comment at this time, with a 5 Star General stating overriding concerns more important than "...an overpriced piece of junk, no clue why everyone is so worked up over it. Its good but not that good... Could have taken out 6 of them in an F-4..." before getting diverted by a band of girls showcasing the latest reinforced armor.
In recent news, Japan has unveiled another new prototype and sent it for testing at Yukon base. While this has raised queries of their intention of sending a new unit for evaluation at this time, with the recent test completion of the jointly-developed XFJ-01, more disconcerting is the shape of the new unit, which, except for the presence of head fins, is identically similar to the TSF unit that went missing in US 6 months ago. On being questioned, the Japanese representative was recorded as saying in Japanese"This TSF is completely our designer’s original. We had never thought that this TSF look alike something. We don’t know what 'Biake Wiideow' is. But, as we was pointed out that, we are fixing it up now."
*In a recent update, a security camera record shows that one of the ears seems to have fallen off, before being put back in its place by a technician with a roll of duct tape. Concerns about the safety of the machine have been raised by the evaluators, and the test pilot has been seen muttering about "The Short, Happy Life of the Cherry Blossom"

The whole idea of stealing a full mech is kind of new in Muv-Luv, but it is utterly dishonorable behaviour and stains the beloved characters. I know that Muv-Luv TE does have dumb characters since Kouki was trying to show how dumb humans can be, but does he admit that them stealing the YF-23 is dumb, or is he dumb for coming up with such an idea? Blaming the in-universe character is okay as long as it serves a purpose.

You know what I REALLY worry about?
This came from a phase 6 hive,and it's only 28 years old(Circa 2001)
The several hives on the moon is EVEN older,and God know what happen when humanity tried to take back moon now.
Not only that,there's Mar,the largest hive COMFIRMED(which meant probably correct) by mankind is phase 9 hive(Which is probably have 6 to 9 kilometers tall monument). Even the smallest hive on Mar is phase 6 hive.
You got a lot of nightmare fuel just from THINKING about humanity fight BETA on Mar and Moon.
And then there's this...
There is 10^37 BETA all over the fucking universe.
How old do you think the FIRST hive is?
.......
.......
Congratulation,H.P.Lovecraft,you just got your successor now.
This came from a phase 6 hive,and it's only 28 years old(Circa 2001)
The several hives on the moon is EVEN older,and God know what happen when humanity tried to take back moon now.
- Thing is, some of the BETA we've encountered on earth (Soldier-class for example) were a result of BETA having a lot of humans to CHOMP on and then develop into said class. From all the hints in TE, it looks like the Fort-Laser class is a direct response to the Susano'o.
So on one hand, I don't think we'll be seeing it or many Soldier-class on the moon. On the other hand that means that we'll encounter in the future some strains of BETA that were developed in response to OTHER situations and enemies.
- Write this. Man, PLEASE write this and bring this over to the Muv-Luv Fanfiction thread. Turn it into a full-blown parody fanfic. I beg of you. It's asking to be done.
Haha, its kinda spontaneous, so I don't really have a plot or anything. Maybe if I have time after TDA and Schwarzemarken.
I'll leave some gags I put up before here for your enjoyment in the meantime.

A Takemekazuchi was rumored to have been present as well, apparently acting as the opposing force, since it was observed to be wildly slashing its PB blade in the warehouse while incoming fire finished what storage reminded, following which the combined efforts of the other TSFs had to be used to subdue and restrain it. Recordings from a nearby area captured screams and yells coming from this unit, with the phrases "...will be the shame of my family, no, of Japan!" and "I can't get married anymore!!" being most prominent...

On the advice of his otaku online friends he builds a Takemikazuchi Type-00F Imperial Royal Yellow custom and gives it to her, confessing to her. Thus the romance comedy of this high school otaku begins!
Spoiler for The Cast (No Relation to anime or game):
Cast:
Yuuya, mecha plamo otaku who is secretly fit because of his habit from running around the neighborhood when he screws up painting. Transfers from America to Japan following his father's job, mother remains in America due to pressure from work and grandfather's demands. "What otaku would turn down the chance to visit the holy land and get away from his mother", is his reasoning. Started online gaming recently as well, with surprisingly good scores.
Yui, Class Rep and Student Council President. A girl from a highly placed Japanese family, brought up to be a Yamato Nadeshiko. Absolutely serious about her responsibilities. Feels the first touch of romance while overseas attending a function when she got lost and was saved, and cannot forget the boy who rescued her from the drunks.
Yuuya's webpals on the Prominent Moon Shade blog forum:
Lowell, Yuuya's otaku high school friend in America, keeps in touch with him offering new designs. Heavy online gamer of RPGs.
Tarisa, a girl of unknown age from Nepal, who loves aircraft and model aircraft; has a short complex.
Cryska, a Russian who is socially inept. Joins the forum on the advice of her younger sister to learn to talk to people. Has frequent headaches when stressed, to the point of forgetting memories. Sometimes seems to have an alter personality. Does online gaming with her sister as the team Scarlet Twins.
Inia, her younger sister who is carefree; while she looks innocent on the outside, is actually a sharp reader of people, almost like she can read minds. Joins the forum thinking it was a teddy bear DYI thread because of the image of a brown bear. Stays on as she is actually a strong online gamer as well, teaming up with her sister as the other half of Scarlet twins.
Stella, an mangaka and illustrator who has a very precise eye; she acts motherly to everyone, giving advice to all. Joins the forum to exchange ideas about painting, and became a moderator soon after.
Giacosa, Italian playboy (self styled) who was roaming the boards for girls. Stays on when Tarisa insults him, and frequently lurks to argue with her. Frequently banned by Stella for posting lewd comments.
Latrova, Russian military wife who was bored. Chats with Yuuya often as he reminds her of her son who ran away from home. Gives Yuuya life advice that he needs. Occasionally inactive for long periods of time when her family is back.
Cui, girl from China, obsessed with martial arts and online gaming. Was in Yuuya's first game and saw him fragging multi-kills like a boss, using a unique drop. Found out that it was his first time playing, and started stalking him thereafter. Talks dirty with Yuuya online.
Sharon, Yuuya's ex from America. A normal girl who was in the same class as Yuuya in highschool, breaks up with Yuuya since he does not give her the attention she wants. Dates another classmate of his instead. Did online gaming casually, but normally does other girly things. Likes watching boys fight over her from a young age.
Leon, Yuuya's schoolmate in America highschool, and current boyfriend of Sharon. Dislikes Yuuya for his Otaku obsession, as being half Japanese as well, Leon was frequently considered the same as him, and was bullied unfairly as a result. Bloomed into hate in a certain event.
Maybe I should write something on this, if I ever get the time.
The idea about Tokobukiya is a good one! Actually Plamo would be Yuuya's personal hobby. The main link between all of them is online gaming... The game is a Virture On analog using TSF models, and the plamo Yuuya builds is based off in-game designs. Of course, not all players are lovers of the in game unit to the extend that Yuuya goes to, so he comes off as being a weird TSFphile.
And Sandek is the loving father of the sisters, buying them all the computer parts that they want, sometimes even experimental parts. What secret lies behind this mans' show of affection which is offered behind a stern face? (Yes the plan to take over the world is still in place)
And Inia is posting pictures of Cryska working... at a maid cafe! "Learn how society works!" is her argument to her elder sister! Papa Sandek, who is drinking his morning coffee, is shocked at the post!

Actually there is one thing I was hoping to find out in the anime. How do BETA communicate with each other? And what do they sound like? In the VN, its rather difficult to find out, since all you get is NOM NOM NOM or SLASH, BLAM, BOOM.
We need some Steve Irwin fellow to walk into a hive, interviewing the different species of BETA in their natural habitat.
-I think they communicate with each other in the same way our computers communicate with each other. That's probably why their Laser-classes are so accurate, and why they always avoid friendly fire.
Well then, next time one opens its mouth, lets look for a Blue Tooth.
Let me start the ball rolling.
Lets follow Ste-vu Ar-ein as he attempts to infiltrate the nature habitat of the often misunderstood BETA species.
<<Records recovered from an data pack attached to a beacon located near Evensk Hive>>
G'd day , I'm *Ste-vu Ear-ein* (translation unclear, approximate phonics attached), and todae we are gonna be looking at some of the most deadliest critters in thee U.S.S.R.. I'm here taeday in the South of the Kolyma Range, which is the start of our advanture and journey to search for the natural habitats of the enemies of the human race, the common BETA.
Now since these BETAs don't shoot their own mates, I've prepared a little something out of this old purple dino costume I found, by adding on this old accordion and sticking on this glove on that end there, added some mushrooms and a torn, splashed on some grey, and hey, makes me look like one of them!
Now one of the things I've learnt as an animal specialist is they recognise their own by scent ya'know, so lets observe this lone critter down there. Its a Venator, with its massive lower body.
Though its speed is slower than the other types, its still quick enough to strike, and it has the best detection capabilities of the lot. Its a very dangerous creature, likely to bite your head off if it catches you. Still, us being on higher ground, its unlikely to notice me, since i'm down wind. Opps, its paused there for a while. <ducks down> <whisper> Do you think it's seen me? No, wait, there it goes again. Is that a puddle I see at that rock there?
Now the best way of getting scent would be by using its secretions, which I strongly believe this puddle to be made of. So I'm going to go roll in that puddle and get its scent over the suit. Phew, that stinks. One of the hazards of the job mates, be glad your'e not here w'me.
And the Angry Eishis

Angry Eishi: -UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUK YOU!
--Conversation recorded just before a squad of Yellow painted F-4s charged on foot into a raging swarm of Destroyer Class with nothing but blunt objects and cut off pieces of Destroyer class shells and Grapple's arms.
Several Destroyer class were seen flying through the air at the initial contact, and a trail of broken and confused Destroyers was soon created in a straight line towards the group of laser class. A group of 20 Grapplers appeared, rushing toward the charging flight of F-4s. Without any long ranged weapons, many trained Eishis would have opted to evade and go around rather than be surrounded by a swarm of Grapplers, but not those yellow Phantoms.
They charged straight in as a group, never deviating from the shortest path, never slowing their running pace, almost never firing their thrusters except to reach an enemy faster than the TSF beside them.
The first Phantom to reach the Grapplers did not stop to block the oncoming swing, and instead boosted even faster directly into its embrace. While inside the arc of the Grappler’s swing with its claw of unearthly hardness, the Phantom stepped directly onto the torso, reached out with both hands to catch hold of the head... and continued on, ripping off the head with the momentum. A fierce bellow rang out from the cockpit, audible despite the lack of external speakers, and the words “...SHIT DOWN YOUR NECK!!!” could be heard, even as the Phantom threw the head down and gave it a swift kick while on the run, sending it soaring high into the air. Behind it, the headless body of the hapeless BETA continued to run on into another of its kind, causing both to collapse in an entanglement.
Beside the first, the next Phantom merely lifted its arm, cocking it, and gave the next Grappler a Clothesline, holding its arm out straight into the neck of the BETA while ponding forward, causing the alien beast to pivot in mid air with its head as the fulcrum. Its broken body crashed down, unheeded by the Phantom, who was already half a kilometer away and speeding up. Another held a torn off Grappler Claw from a previous engagement, and was ramming it into oncoming Grapplers whist shouts of “STOP HITTING YOURSELF!!, STOP HITTING YOURSELF!!” resounded from its metal body.
Onwards the Yellow Phantoms charged through the Grapplers, with some using melee weapons or blunt objects, while others used their bare hands, to cripple, crush or kill anything that came in their way. Any Tank class they encountered would be swiftly stepped on or booted like a football. A few leaping ones were gleefully swatted out of the sky by their chosen targets, who happened to be holding pieces of reinforcing metal bars or planks that were dripping red. Several of the Tanks collided with each other and burst in mid-air, temporary shading the sun and showering the flight with blood. Someone was heard to say “AND WE FIGHT IN THE SHADE!... HUR HUR HUR.”
In this manner, the flight of yellow Phantoms soon covered the distance to the group of laser class, which had been intercepting arty fire support for the main strike force and causing delays on all fronts. As the flight drew near, they could see clusters of man-sized Luxs protected by BETAs of other classes, merrily firing their lasers into the sky. At the sight of the hated long ranged species of the alien foe, the Angry Eishi’s all roared with disgust, venting their rage and revulsion. ” THERE THE COCKSUCKERS ARE!! HIDING SAFELY BEHIND OTHERS, SHOOTING FROM AFAR LIKE FUCKING COWARDS!! LETS SHOW THOSE ABORTIONS WHAT REAL COMBAT IS!! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-!!!” With a resounding warcry delivered without the use of the intercoms or external speakers, the Captain led the flight directly into the guarding group.
The Phantom was shaking with so much rage that it snapped the claw of a grappler held in its hands into two, and throwing one piece into the bottom round protrusions of a Destroyer who had temporary reared up in preparation to charge, he jumped onto the back of another, forcing the wedge into the boundary of the shell and its flesh. With a jerk, the Phantom ripped the head off the Destroyer, which was running in a circle, perhaps in pain. Crushing the brain that was exposed, the Phantom ripped the shell off the other Destroyer that was crippled. With a Destroyer’s shell in each hand, it smashed the two together until they were embedded up to the elbows of the TSF, weaponizing the BETA’s 15 Mohs’ hard shells. With a roar, he charged into the fray behind his brothers who had not stopped for him and had gone past him in front.
Only the reinforced joints and armor of the F-4, together with the hydraulic pistons of the aged design, could have survived the pounding that these Eishins put them to. By utilizing the unique strengths of the frame, and protecting or upgrading the various weak areas such as the torso joint, the parts of these Phantoms were able to exert and survive many more times the combat stress on them than an equivalent modern TSF. However, the Eishin’s never placed a thought about such things, understanding the values of their units instinctively through their bodies. Their minds were too full of anger to think about such complexities, relying instead on the mechanics who outfit them, secure in the knowledge that if the machines failed in their duty, they would rip their way out of the downed units, make their way back, and beat the ever-living shit out of them, hard enough to make them wish the BETA would eat them.
As the flight reached the final layer of BETA, they moved aside, creating a path for the Laser class to aim down. Instead of evading and circling around to hide among the BETA while shooting the Lux from range, the Phantoms only changed their formation, forming two lines behind a wedge of 3 TSFs. Of these three, one, the captain, had weaponized BETA’s shells on both arms, while another had the head of a Destroyer class, freshly obtained and still dripping blood, as a shield, and the last one - “HEY FUCKTARD!! WHO SAID YOU COULD BRING A GIRLFRIEND ALONG!? IF YOU SLOW US DOWN I’M GOING TO KICK YOU IN THE ASS SO HARD THEY CAN LAND A HIVE IN IT!!!” - was carrying a grappler, with its claws tied around its neck, its stubby legs wiggling in front. It had been picked up up by the forepart of the body and the neck, and the Phantom was carrying it bodily into battle as a living shield with its back bent backwards.
As the column advanced, the Lux’s started shooting, but only at the two holding on to the dead shells. None of the beams of energy were aimed at the TSF holding the living shield. As the beams hit the shells, red dollops of melted stuff dripped out, but being tougher than the best materials humanity could create, held out for long enough for the 5 seconds that the three took to reach the clusters. Just as they arrived, the Unit holding only one shell finally had a burn through, and the laser cut pass to hit the the arm supporting the shell, burning it off at the elbow, as the Eishin instinctively twisted to prevent a fatal hit on the torso cockpit block.
The Captain, now with two pitted and smaller smouldering lumps of shell, joyfully stomped into the Lux cluster, crushing tens of them at once underfoot as he danced around. The one holding the live grappler threw it onto a particularly dense cluster, crushing another 30 beneath its bulk. The one who had its arm burnt off was slightly late, and jumped into the middle of a cluster, igniting its booster engines while spinning, blasting the surrounding Lux into burnt carbon. The rest of the flight of Phantoms followed closely behind him, and soon all were smashing, crushing, stomping and even punching the ground, even as they endlessly screamed their rage.
Finally, the Captain stopped his rampage. He looked across the blood stain ground, confirming the total annihilation of all the laser class and saw that all was good. Even the reminding other BETA that were surrounding them had been attacked, and he could see several small teams of Phantoms chasing the stragglers in an expanding circle. He heard a buzz in his comms, which indicated that command was trying to contact him, since they had noticed the ceasing of laser interception of their fire. Turning it on, he heard the UN commander start to say a word of thanks, but cut him off with “WE CLEANED UP THE SHITS FOR YOU, ARSEHOLE, SIR!! NOW YOU CAN GO PLAY WITH YOURSELF AND FIRE YOUR PUSSY LOADS FROM YOUR METAL BOXES!! CAPTAIN EATER, FUCKING OUT!!!”
Having finished reporting the situation to the U.N. Commander of the southeastern pacific 12th Army 4th Division, Captain Osh It, Eater, of the 3rd TSF Special Company, 1st Flight, the “Angry Eishis”, went and regrouped his erroneous flight of 11 units, by shouting and banging their cockpits to shock the pilots out of their killing rage.
His flight were made from unique specimens of humankind, with the intention to gather individuals who had such intense hatred and anger against anything and everything, but most of all against the BETA, to the point that their mindset were always only ever focused on one question: How to Kill Them All!. Such all-consuming hatred they have against those “Pieces of xenos SHITS! that aren't even human”, that they do not have any space for random thoughts, and all other functions operate on instinct, leaving them perfect concentration, the reaction time of a snake, and the inability to know fear. Their burning desire drives them with the need to see blood up close and personal, in order to confirm that the target is DEAD DEAD DEAD!, and so they disdain the use of ranged weapons, considering anyone who uses them pussies, or worst.
Before, when these men were in their original units, they would have caused great disruptions in their command, blindly attacking the enemy without thought for their comrades in the manner of the ancient berserkers, but coming back more likely than not, and getting into fights over the smallest things while on base. Not that they were undisciplined, as they were able to obey orders and follow the regimental requirements, but when given stupid orders by others, they are more likely to blow up and inflict punishment upon the offender. When the call to transfer these men came from the U.N. as an experiment to form squads of like minded soldiers, they would have been transferred out with great relief from their commanders.
Thus, anyone who would approach to communicate with these angry men had better not be a fool and know their place, lest they be kicked out of their barracks, with their underwear pulled over their heads! For these men are the Angry Eishis, and they are ALWAYS ANGRY, ALL THE TIME!

Yuuya enters hanger: Ohh the light of my heart! It has been so long!
Sharon: Yuuya! Its been some time, but now I'm-
Yuuya walks pass Sharon: Raptor-chan! Ohh how I missed you so! That feel of the armor, the springiness of the stealth coating! That curve of your hips! The pointed peaks of your knees! Its been soooo looong!
Ah crap, I just realised that on the Muv-Luv AGE anniversary PV, The two espers donning the UN uniform were Inia and Kasumi, not Cryska.
I'm of two minds on this, since while it was Kasumi's voice over, and the ahoge is there, we also know that some of Cryska's and Inia's sisters have ahoge's as well. So I'm still going to wait till that scene appears in future media to commit. I thought it was Kasumi all those years before, till the new character came, so I'll hold off on this.

Well if you look properly both of them are wearing prafka so its not Kasumi. But then i don't think there are any more last survivors of Alternative 3 other than Inia and Kasum(Trista).

More like it's Inia and the Ahoge girl. Not Kasumi by any means.
