I couldn't think of any badass engineers except TF2 from the Meet the Engineer Video. Just seemed so much like him, when he's being quietly dangerous.

Don doesn't care about spotlight, just getting the job done right the first time.

Interestingly enough, I couldn't figure out what rank he would have as the head mechanic... NCO ranks wouldn't give him any authority over someone like crash, and Officer ranks just seemed out of place for what he was doing... and then it clicked when I was doing his profile. Chief Warrant Officer 5.

The authority level to DO HIS JOB and not be DIRECTLY in the normal chain of command with officers.



On a side note, people might find this site useful:

It tells you typically what the ranks actually are in charge of. Useful for those of us throwing ranks onto people.

Cosine isn't Guilty Spark, but Guilty Spark is present though, and I'm going to make every effort I can to keep him alive. I love the arogant blue basketball.

But wouldn't it make for a more exciting story if they take over at inapropriate times?

LYRICAL OF TIME
AGNES JOHANSEN
*picture missing; President Aria stole it -_-*

Spoiler for introduction:

Like Sayoko, Agnes is also a tsundere although she doesn’t always act like so towards people. In fact, she can be associated to a typical absent-minded but cheerful and free-spirited lady who seems to pay no attention to the surrounding environment. About the only time she will reveal her actual side is when she is paying full concentration on her beloved job as a gondolier.

Agnes shares her passion of collecting items with Frieda, and is very fond of expanding her collection of masks. She even has the infamous Guy Fawkes mask from Terran movie “V for Vendetta” and often recites the quote “remember, remember” while wearing the mask.

Agnes’ favourite quote is “my, my, my” and she often accompanies the catchphrase with silly giggles.

Agnes’ unique, if not questionable, affection towards Frieda has led to rumours that the Johansen sisters are secret lovers, but so far all attempts to reveal the secret end up with the seekers having a tell-tale mark of an oar on their face.

Agnes is never seen without her Undine uniform, but she enjoys sporting other fashion types she sees fit for her profession.

Agnes’ fiancé is also a gondolier, and like her, is a member of the Golden Circle. They plan to marry on Agnes’ 32nd birthday.

Spoiler for history:

Agnes has been a gondolier for the past 20 years, earning her livelihood by taking tourists around the Venetian canals. She is popular among her customers for being the only female gondolier in Venice to join the coveted Golden Circle of Canal Navigators, and she is also well-respected by her colleagues who regard her as a jewel of the sea, the Aquamarine Goddess.

Agnes is also famous for her ability to drift the gondola at tight corners and catch up with time when she seems to be far behind schedule. In fact, during a gondola race held during Venice’s annual festival week, she outran all the other gondoliers and claimed the first place in record-breaking time. When asked where she learned the drifting technique after she won the race, she simply told the reporters she had been watching “a certain Japanese animated series on downhill and uphill car racing”.

Agnes plans to move to Mid-Childa and opens her own gondolier company at the administered world after she retires.

Spoiler for personal information:

Full Name: Agnes Johansen
Nickname: Agnes; Aquamarine; Drifter
Age: 30
Birthday: 17th May
Hair colour: silvery blue
Eye colour: aquamarine
Height: 166cm
Weight: 49kg
Three measurements: 86-54-82
Affiliation: Golden Circle of Canal Navigator
Rank: Senior
Home world: Earth (nationality: German; currently residing in Venice, Italy)
Device: unknown
Device class: unknown
Device appearance: oar
Magic system: none
Magic symbol: none
Magic colour: none
Magic rank: none
Hobby: collecting festival and ritual masks; cooking; cats
Most beloved things: gondola; making customers happy; Venetian pasta
Most hated things: not seeing her customers smile
Relationship: Wolfgang (father); Catherine (mother); Frieda (sister); Anthony (fiancé); Melody (pet cat).
Possible voice actor: Ohara Sayaka (Alicia Florence, Aria the Animation)

Spoiler for power:

Agnes doesn’t have any magic aptitude to begin with, so therefore she isn’t classified as a mage or knight like her younger sister. She is not to be undermined, however, because she has been known to knock down a large thug merely using the oar she uses to navigate her gondola through the Venetian canals.

It should be noted that all gondoliers are obliged to conduct behavioural mannerism code, so it is very hard to predict when Agnes’ mood will suddenly swing.

Defensive Abilities
None

Offensive Abilities
Aqua Slam
Agnes slams the oar onto an opponent’s face, usually by announcing the attack’s name aloud. This is her trademark attack.

Aqua Javelin
Agnes throws the oar at the opponent as if it were a javelin.

Aqua Tornado
This incredibly flashy move begins with Agnes holding the oar parallel with the ground. Then in a quick motion she spins the oar over her head and creates a tornado that sucks her opponent into the wind vortex before they're sent out of the area.

Note: I decide to have her personality a combination of Alicia's & Akira's, because IMO it needs to be done.

Once I finish Takeru's profile, I'll start posting their story.

Undine invasion? another non-magical OC, which is always good.

Though... she wants to open an office on Mid-Childra? I suppose she'd have to live somewhere away from the capital then, no real canals there.

Makes one wonder what kind of 'monstrosity' broke hers.

Wouldn't surprise me if she turns out to be the most powerfull Otome, she has quite the fan created reputation to live up to.

Or would you prefer any other one of the rookies? All of most what is going to be taught to them is technically a refinement of something they already have a degree of aptitude to using, and not "your magical output has increased 3-folds, so I'm going to teach you this ridiculously powerful spell that can sweep 50 drones in one attack."

*holds up hands* I yield, I yield. It was only a joke anyway.

Doctor Tesla... Scaglietti?

Spoiler for *sniffs the air* Crack? Here?!:

Orbital Prison Facility 354

Steel grey corridor after corridor filled Tesla’s vision as she walked through one of the higher secured prison facilities in TSAB controlled space. Her goal was to interview a certain prisoner, one she had never really had the chance to look in the eyes before she was assigned this mission.

The target was a tough case. He had refused almost any form of cooperation, and only after weeks of demanding, reasoning and discussing had he allowed them to properly interview him. On the conditions that only one person was to be present and that he could choose the one to interview him.

Rounding another corridor, the Knight of the Sky finally arrived at interrogation room, where her target was already seated. Tesla calmly took place in the chair at the opposite end of the table, and turned to meet the one who had been the cause the recent chaos eye to eye.

Jail Scaglietti never flinched. “Ah, so they send the genius mind of Riot Force 6 to interview me. A pity, I had hoped to see enforcer Testarossa again.”

“You asked someone capable from Riot Force 6 to interview you, Enforcer Testarossa would have been the primary choice, but she is still in recovery from her last battle.” Tesla responded as she activated a data screen. Truth be told Fate was more then capable physically, but mentally was another story. Shamal had managed to wring out a medical excuse to prevent her from going, leaving the task to Tesla. “But let us get down to business; you have defied countless of dimensional laws, caused chaos of a rather large scale, and came close to obtaining the power to destroy the world. I am curious as to what your goals and reasons were.”

Jail smiled. “I believe I have already told you my reasons.”

“You mean the broadcast? Nice façade, but shortly afterwards you arrived with a huge Lost Logia warship that almost gave you the ability to destroy not only Mid-Childa, but many of the surrounding dimensions as well. Such actions tend to destroy an innocent messiah image.”

Jail grinned. “As an experiment created for other peoples benefit, would you not want to take revenge? I would not even have done that much damage. Just because I had the power does not mean I would have used it.” He sighed dramatically. “But then, since you people stopped me, there is no way for me to prove my words.”

Tesla was currently analyzing Jail’s words, and typing away to log the data and her analysis. “The true irony is that we were never really responsible for taking care of you, our goal was the securing of the Relics. Eventually circumstances led us to taking care of you as well. Now the Cradle is destroyed and all the sentoukijin captured. Your plans are over.”

“Speaking of the sentoukijin, whatever happened to the copies I implanted into them?” Jail asked.

“They were removed, of course.” Tesla’s answer came unfazed.

Jail chuckled. “So you willingly admit you murdered unborn life? Can you live with that shame?”

“Doctor” Tesla’s voice remained unfazed. “This kind of manipulation may have worked on Testarossa, but I have killed countless people in my existence. Twelve more unborn dimensional criminals hardly faze me.”

“Ahh, my mistake. After being surrounded by so much optimism for so long it is… refreshing to see a Bureau member with a realistic look on matters.”

Still typing away, Tesla responded. “You seem to make a lot of mistakes for someone who started of so brilliantly, many of which eventually cost you the battle.”

“hooh?” Jail’s interest was piqued, and not just at the compliment. There was something he noticed about the way this girl worked… her mind was currently divided towards several tasks. Questioning him and analyzing his answers seemed only a small portion. He wondered what else could have been so successfully in drawing away the girl’s focus. Worry? The future?

He decided to probe further.

“Yes, I’ll admit that leaving only such a small guard force on my trump card was a fatal mistake, eventually ending in the destruction of the ship.”

There! There is was, it was small, but this girl definitely had reacted when he mentioned the destruction of the Cradle.

“Such a shame, a grand vessel like that, simply blown up because I had managed to get my hands on it first. As a scientist I can only sigh in disappointment. Tell, me when you saw the Cradle in the sky, what did you think of it?”

Tesla’s mind, which had been jumping back and forth between questioning and analyzing both Jail’s questions, as well as compare the new analysis to the tactics the sentoukijin and gadgets deployed, combined with trying to solve the political backlash the betrayal and loss of Regius and the council was causing, not to mention filled with worry over her comrades conditions, received somewhat of a low blow with Jail’s query. While spiraling to come to grip with what went were, confusion settled in, which was probably the reason why Tesla answered his question truthfully.

“I would have loved to have piloted the ship.”

Jail grinned. “Did you know that the Cradle used to be the flagship of Ancient Belka? We never utilized its full potential in the battle but the magical cannons were not the only line of defense.”

“Really?” Tesla saved what she had typed so far and opened a new file. Curiosity demanded more information on the ship. And the information on the Cradle’s capabilities might be convenient archiving data for Yuuno, she rationalized.

“Yes, you see, the Cradle originally also had a point-defense system. However, it seemed that it was supposed to have been powered by mages, which is why we replaced it with Type-2 drones.”

Tesla shook her head. “That was a bad choice, Type-2’s have a low fire-rate. Was it not possible to try and link the point-defense to the main reactor?”

The conversation lasted longer then either had expected, and neither had realized it until the guards had returned and informed them that time was up. Tesla effortlessly closed her screen and got up, but Jail had a few final words to say.

As he was dragged to his feet by the guards, he smiled at Tesla. “This had been a most enjoyable conversation, captain Tesla. I do hope we can speak to one another soon.” His smile remained and his eyes continued to linger on Tesla as the guards led him back out the door and to his cell.

Tesla herself declined the offer for an escort, and exited through the other door. After rounding two corridors, though, she swiftly turned sideways and promptly slammed her head into the wall.

As the dull bang echoed into silence, and pain tingled through her body, Tesla asked herself the question she should have asked herself much earlier.

“What the hell was I doing?”

Sure, she had gained a lot of information, more so then any other had managed to draw from him, but in her disorganized state she had completely allowed him to lead the conversation, the pace, the subject, the questions. How could she have allowed that?

But most importantly, why had her heart skipped a beat when he had smiled at her?

Well Otome are far off the TSAB list of allies/threats for now...

But Otome Version Valkyries... maybe they can come in- since they are (semi)grunt units...

Ep1 of S.fir kinda makes one of my cracky theories true again

Manga shouldn't be taken too seriously anyway (the day that happens, is the day I grin at them handing me the ultimate proof of a link between Hime and Otome ).

LYRICAL OF TIME
TAKERU

Spoiler for introduction:

Calm and well-mannered, Takeru is very mature for his age and never complains of his job, merely speaking of it as a way to support his livelihood. He knows how to make everyone laugh with his joke and sometimes sets up pranks at other people in his trademark “hunter’s game”.

Takeru is a skilled expert in survival and doesn’t mind living in the outback “as long as the hunting continues”. He is known to be very patient and will sometime track down (or as described by Frieda, “stalk”) his target for days or even weeks.

Takeru’s weakness is he has very low tolerance on alcohol, like how he had to be relieved from duty for a week after he passed up when he accidentally tasted Caro’s health drink. He also cannot perform simple chores with ease, although he seems to defy all common senses whenever he goes to the kitchen.

Spoiler for history:

Takeru’s mother passed away when he was six, leaving him to the caretaking of his father. It was from Akatsuki Ito, renowned for his experience in jungle and sniper warfare, that he learned the traits of a hunter, including the unavoidable tendency to stalk other people even when it wasn’t necessary.

// MC0074 //

On his 13th birthday, Takeru moved to Switzerland to follow his father who had been asked to open classes for the Swiss Army freehand combat trainers. There, his life took a major detour when he came across a shooting spree where Paladin Frieda Johansen of the Belkan Knighthood was under attack by Visalian rouges. Caught up between the crossfire at the Swiss Alps, he did not panic and remained calm as his father had always adviced, and amidst the confusion he got her eyes hooked on the female knight, awed by her beauty and impressed by her strength as a combatant.

To his surprise, Frieda was overwhelmed by the rouges and lost one of the Armed Devices Wild Falken. Driven by protective instinct, he jumped into the heat of the battle, took control of the Device and single-handedly ousted the rogues. By the time reinforcements from the TSAB arrived, Takeru was dumbfounded by his unheard-of ability of controlling such an instrument.

A few days later Takeru was approached by the Belkan Knights representatives and asked whether he would like to join the order. At first he declined the offer, saying them that he was only doing what a man needed to do to save a damsel in distress., but after his father adviced him to seize the opportunity to further expand his survival knowledge he accepted the offer.

Takeru moved to Belka and was introduced to Frieda, who personally owed him for saving her from the rogues. She also told him she was interested in his talent of handling Wild Falken and wished to train him on the art of sniping. Takeru would first become her apprentice and, as months passed, be adopted as Frieda’s foster child (the female paladin had not decided on getting married as yet). From Frieda, too, Takeru got to know the Johansen’s broad family including Frieda’s other foster child Sayoko and Frieda’s gondolist sister Agnes.

// MC0076 //

Currently Takeru is finishing a special weapon training course with Foxhound Unit and is expected to receive the official Gunslinger Badge in two weeks.

Spoiler for personal information:

Full name: Takeru Ito
Nickname: Takeru-kun; Spike-Head; Stalker
Age: 15 in Lyrical of Time
Birthday: 16th August
Hair colour: blackish brown
Eye colour: crimson red
Height: 165cm
Weight: 68kg
Affiliation: Knighthood of Holy Belkan Empire
Rank: B
Home world: Earth (nationality: Japanese)
Device: Wild Falken
Device class: long-range Armed Device prototype
Device appearance: varies
Magic system: Neo Belka
Magic symbol: triangle
Magic colour: crimson red
Magic rank: B-
Hobby: hunting; outback cooking; teasing Sayoko
Most beloved things: his survival kit
Most hated things: alcohol
Relationship: Akatsuki (father); Karen (mother, deceased); Frieda (mentor, later surrogate mother); Sayoko (surrogate sister).
Possible voice actor:

Spoiler for power:

Takeru is another Belkan Knight categorized as a Gunslinger due to his extensive gunmanship level. His expertise in long-range combat and art of sniping has earned him the nickname “Eagle Eye”, and he is able to distinguish potential targets from innocent bystanders by simply looking at them.

Takeru’s device is Wild Falken, a transformable Armed Device that can switch to one of its three primary forms: Sturmform, Scharfschütze-Form and Panzer Faust. Each of the form is modelled after Earth’s well-known weapons: Sturmform Wild Falken takes the form of the AK101 assault rifle, Scharfschütze-Form Wild Falken takes the form of the AS-50 semi-automatic 50-calibre sniper rifle, while Panzer Faust Wild Falken is modelled after the powerful NTW-20 20mm anti-material rifle.

Due to the nature of Takeru’s fighting style, Wild Falken is primarily used for medium- to long-range engagement and is not suited for close-range combat, which is why Takeru has come up with Silberkugel, custom-built Armed Device resembling dual handguns, to accommodate Wild Falken. Later on, Takeru entrusts Silberkugel to Sayoko.

Spoiler for defensive abilities:

Knight’s Armour
It is a red Templar-style dress with black frills and blue armbands and jet black boots. This suit is not just the flashy costume, but also refers to an invisible defensive field generated by the costume, reducing or eliminating any serious injury from events such as an impact with a building.

Takeru’s Knight Armour comes with trench coat-like extension, which serves nothing more than for decoration.

Triangle Shield
This ability blocks all magical or physical attacks coming from one direction with a triangular barrier, much like Fate’s or Nanoha’s Round Shield.

Verbegen (Conceal)
This ability used for camouflage to conceal the caster from visual contact, therefore protecting the caster from being seen by target. This ability’s effectiveness reduces as the target’s sense of perception increases.

Vermeidung (Evasion)
This ability increases the caster’s ability to dodge any oncoming attacks.

Nachladen
This is not an attack, but refers to Wild Falken’ and Silberkugel’s procedure of reloading a cartridge.

Explosion
Also not an attack; both Wild Falken and Silberkugel this when using cartridges, similar to the English-speaking devices’ “Load Cartridge”.

Wahrnehmung (Perception)
Also not an attack, but refers to the ability to increase field of vision, therefore improving line of sight. It is influenced by factors like weather, combat environment and target’s awareness level.

Spoiler for offensive abilities:

Sturmform: Blitzkrieg
Wild Falken’s first attack, it uses one cartridge to shoot up to 30 energy bullets at a target. It is similar in function to standard assault rifle.

Sturmform: Kugel-Regen
A variation of Blitzkrieg where the energy bullets are targeted at a certain perimeter, therefore pinning down anyone caught in the middle of the bombardment.

Scharfschütze-Form: Bruch-Kugel
The most often used ability in this form, Bruch-Kugel (translated as “Breach Bullet”) functions to destroy a target’s barrier magic and exposes it to a follow-up attack, usually another Bruch-Kugel or other attacks. As in any sniper attack, it must be manually reloaded after every use.

Scharfschütze-Form: Schnee Kugel
Used specifically to damage Linker Core without inflicting physical damage onto its host, it doesn’t leave visible trace and is very difficult to track; this advantage may be enhanced by installing silencer. Translated as “Snow Bullet”, it resembles the mythical ice bullet portrayed in Hollywood thriller movies.

Panzer Faust: Silberfalke
Wild Falken’s final attack. Takeru first shoots multiple energy shots at the target while Wild Falken is in Sturmform before switching mode to Panzer Faust to allow him to fire a huge energy beam at the target; all these are done while Takeru takes flight and zips around the battlefield. It can be performed for up to seven times before Wild Falken overheats and needs to cool down.

Panzer Faust: Silver Breaker
Exclusive to Takeru, it is one of a few abilities that can counteract jamming and binding spells. It consumes an entire magazine clip and recycles residual magic to create a powerful energy bullet that destroys everything on contact. It is more powerful than Silberfalke but can only be used once with each deployment of Panzer Faust.

Okay, I'm done for.

A lightweight? I think he and Tesla have something in common even now. Although... Caro's Health Drink? Please don't tell me you re actually taking Kha's rebuilts seriously.

Then again, Lyrical of time has been filled with much crack itself, so I guess that balances things out.

On the subject of Silver Breaker, though, I assume 'destroy everything' is just a metaphor?

Paranoia and psychosis, definetely agreed. Death, however, I can still see as a likely candidate, depending on how much of a boost for how long a period of time.

As for Nanoha, I wouldn't say she lost it forever. Magic power is like the body, it can be trained to improve, so it should be rehabilitatable. However, concidering 8% of someone like Nanoha is huge, and she has to avoid excerting herself to avoid permanent damage for a year (Shamal's orders) I don't think it will be easy to regain her strength.

Agreed, fully agreed. And it also gives some Vita drama, which is fully apreciated.

AFAIK, the winny incident is over, and they are more or less getting good raws again. The past 2 episodes have shown that again.

About shinsen, it is my policy not to acknowledge the existence of a group of arrogant fansubbers.

Orbital Prison Facility 354

Steel grey corridor after corridor filled Tesla’s vision as she walked through one of the higher secured prison facilities in TSAB controlled space. Her goal was to interview a certain prisoner, one she had never really had the chance to look in the eyes before she was assigned this mission.

The target was a tough case. He had refused almost any form of cooperation, and only after weeks of demanding, reasoning and discussing had he allowed them to properly interview him. On the conditions that only one person was to be present and that he could choose the one to interview him.

Rounding another corridor, the Knight of the Sky finally arrived at interrogation room, where her target was already seated. Tesla calmly took place in the chair at the opposite end of the table, and turned to meet the one who had been the cause the recent chaos eye to eye.

Jail Scaglietti never flinched. “Ah, so they send the genius mind of Riot Force 6 to interview me. A pity, I had hoped to see enforcer Testarossa again.”

“You asked someone capable from Riot Force 6 to interview you, Enforcer Testarossa would have been the primary choice, but she is still in recovery from her last battle.” Tesla responded as she activated a data screen. Truth be told Fate was more then capable physically, but mentally was another story. Shamal had managed to wring out a medical excuse to prevent her from going, leaving the task to Tesla. “But let us get down to business; you have defied countless of dimensional laws, caused chaos of a rather large scale, and came close to obtaining the power to destroy the world. I am curious as to what your goals and reasons were.”

Jail smiled. “I believe I have already told you my reasons.”

“You mean the broadcast? Nice façade, but shortly afterwards you arrived with a huge Lost Logia warship that almost gave you the ability to destroy not only Mid-Childa, but many of the surrounding dimensions as well. Such actions tend to destroy an innocent messiah image.”

Jail grinned. “As an experiment created for other peoples benefit, would you not want to take revenge? I would not even have done that much damage. Just because I had the power does not mean I would have used it.” He sighed dramatically. “But then, since you people stopped me, there is no way for me to prove my words.”

Tesla was currently analyzing Jail’s words, and typing away to log the data and her analysis. “The true irony is that we were never really responsible for taking care of you, our goal was the securing of the Relics. Eventually circumstances led us to taking care of you as well. Now the Cradle is destroyed and all the sentoukijin captured. Your plans are over.”

“Speaking of the sentoukijin, whatever happened to the copies I implanted into them?” Jail asked.

“They were removed, of course.” Tesla’s answer came unfazed.

Jail chuckled. “So you willingly admit you murdered unborn life? Can you live with that shame?”

“Doctor” Tesla’s voice remained unfazed. “This kind of manipulation may have worked on Testarossa, but I have killed countless people in my existence. Twelve more unborn dimensional criminals hardly faze me.”

“Ahh, my mistake. After being surrounded by so much optimism for so long it is… refreshing to see a Bureau member with a realistic look on matters.”

Still typing away, Tesla responded. “You seem to make a lot of mistakes for someone who started of so brilliantly, many of which eventually cost you the battle.”

“hooh?” Jail’s interest was piqued, and not just at the compliment. There was something he noticed about the way this girl worked… her mind was currently divided towards several tasks. Questioning him and analyzing his answers seemed only a small portion. He wondered what else could have been so successfully in drawing away the girl’s focus. Worry? The future?

He decided to probe further.

“Yes, I’ll admit that leaving only such a small guard force on my trump card was a fatal mistake, eventually ending in the destruction of the ship.”

There! There is was, it was small, but this girl definitely had reacted when he mentioned the destruction of the Cradle.

“Such a shame, a grand vessel like that, simply blown up because I had managed to get my hands on it first. As a scientist I can only sigh in disappointment. Tell, me when you saw the Cradle in the sky, what did you think of it?”

Tesla’s mind, which had been jumping back and forth between questioning and analyzing both Jail’s questions, as well as compare the new analysis to the tactics the sentoukijin and gadgets deployed, combined with trying to solve the political backlash the betrayal and loss of Regius and the council was causing, not to mention filled with worry over her comrades conditions, received somewhat of a low blow with Jail’s query. While spiraling to come to grip with what went were, confusion settled in, which was probably the reason why Tesla answered his question truthfully.

“I would have loved to have piloted the ship.”

Jail grinned. “Did you know that the Cradle used to be the flagship of Ancient Belka? We never utilized its full potential in the battle but the magical cannons were not the only line of defense.”

“Really?” Tesla saved what she had typed so far and opened a new file. Curiosity demanded more information on the ship. And the information on the Cradle’s capabilities might be convenient archiving data for Yuuno, she rationalized.

“Yes, you see, the Cradle originally also had a point-defense system. However, it seemed that it was supposed to have been powered by mages, which is why we replaced it with Type-2 drones.”

Tesla shook her head. “That was a bad choice, Type-2’s have a low fire-rate. Was it not possible to try and link the point-defense to the main reactor?”

The conversation lasted longer then either had expected, and neither had realized it until the guards had returned and informed them that time was up. Tesla effortlessly closed her screen and got up, but Jail had a few final words to say.

As he was dragged to his feet by the guards, he smiled at Tesla. “This had been a most enjoyable conversation, captain Tesla. I do hope we can speak to one another soon.” His smile remained and his eyes continued to linger on Tesla as the guards led him back out the door and to his cell.

Tesla herself declined the offer for an escort, and exited through the other door. After rounding two corridors, though, she swiftly turned sideways and slammed her head into the wall.

As the dull bang echoed into silence, and pain tingled through her body, Tesla asked herself the question.

“What the hell was I doing?”

Sure, she had gained a lot of information, more so then any other had managed to draw from him, but in her disorganized state she had completely allowed him to lead the conversation, the pace, the subject, the questions. How could she have allowed that?

But most importantly, why had her heart skipped a beat when he had smiled at her?

This is actually quite interesting. Though we would like liked more...GriffithxTesla! Oh and more disastrous cooking would be nice.

Hmm, my 2 cents. How about adding an extra condition in which should this link be disrupted, there will be a backlash at all involved parties? Damage is up to you, but for myself I think something around at least 50% of the total damage absorbed should be interesting.

Something along this line (strange that I couldn't think of the name before).

As for the extra conditions, I don't think there will be any, simply because this spell is what one would call a last-ditch effort to save another person's life. That said, within the context of reasonable author limit:

1. This spell would appear once, and only once in the entire length of the story.
2. This spell kills the casters. No saves possible.
3. The spell has a limit on the person it is cast on, where the "life bubble" (the accumulated life force from the casters moulded into a protective sphere) can only take so much damage before vanishing, thereby exposing that person to suffering the full damage again.

Note: Another possible form of this spell is that instead of a life bubble, the casters attach life strings from themselves to the person, thereby transferring all damage suffered by that person in real time to them, divided as appropriately. Regardless, the life strings vanish after the spell is depleted/casters have run out of supportive power, thereby killing them.

The CO is alternatively titled as Commander; for example, the Admiral in charge of the US Navy's 7th Fleet is "Commander 7th Fleet."

Ah, I see. So, Chrono is still an Admiral in rank, though his title in Escutcheon is Commander? This would eliminate the problem I was thinking along then, since the two rules mentioned in the story basically limit the privileges of his original rank drastically (sort of a temporary compromise so that he could command Escutcheon). Thanks!

I have two options, actually. One is to affect to local weather pattern where the military-spec (?) radar station is (Escutcheon), the other is to affect the weather pattern on the location where the radar is going to scan (unnamed as of yet). If possible, I'd have wanted to affect the area where the radar is going to scan, since this would make it easier to progress with the story without exposing other important elements, though the other idea is still feasible.

What I wanted to know is whether it is possible to disrupt radar scan effectively at that location, causing severe enough interruption that the radar could not possibly "detect" whatever is happening there (life form, item signals, communications, etc.). If that is not possible, then I'd just send someone to send a thundercloud above Escutcheon. A big one at that, too.

Of course, that leaves it possible for the staff to use satellite scanning, but I don't particularly know how advanced this is compared to radars, and whether it's affected the same way. :3

"Kiss of life", eh? Reminds me of a scene where a guy always wakes up when kissed by a girl, but never when a guy kissed another guy.

Anyway, details listed above.

It depends on the location where the brain is damaged. If it's not involved directly in maintaining important activities (i.e. locomotion, thought, memory, sight, hormones, nervous system, etc., which just about limit you to very restricted areas to choose from), then the signs may remain hidden until something happens to exacerbate it. Interestingly, heterochromia can result as a form of brain damage.

Not to worry. My mistake in thinking it was real, sorry.

In Vivio's case in my story, it's not genetic manipulation that caused her violence/aggressiveness, but rather a mix of how she was raised (in this case, her violence is an emotional outlet that she developed; and really, that part of it is from seeing so much of it when she was younger), brain damage from a mistake made in her forced maturation rate when she was younger, and mental instability from what happened during the Cradle incident.

Makes sense.

The ending for this scene is also really bad, but whatever.

Spoiler for MSLN Alpha Episode 02, Scene II:

-snip-

A big portion removed indeed. But, you pulled it off nicely. As Nighty suggested, maybe you can show us the prototype which includes the technobabble? It might not be as bad as it sounds.

Anyway, interesting development on the White Tempest. I can see that Cosine Phi is being the louder speaker as usual (much to the annoyance of those that couldn't bear hearing it all day ), and Vita still retains her wounds from the previous battle (and the implication of her presence in Ariadne ). Nice start also for Zafira's eventual non-shafting, too!

And what a revelation about the event in Ariadne being a Bureau-wide coverup! Must be something seriously troublesome.

Waiting to see this one

Yep, it isn't, but the symptoms are quite similar . Dropping the bomb is going to happen in a most dramatic way (the scenes are already planned), but writing is going to take some time.

On Sat Scanningm the satellite itself shouldn't be affected, though of course it'll be difficult to penetrate such severe weather conditions with orbital sensors

I don't know where I read this (maybe too much science-fiction mumbo-jumbo), but satellite scan appears to be more sensitive than Earth-bound radars, in which they can penetrate the weather conditions and "see" what's below it.

Ah, yes, thanks!

I am no medical expert either, but I'm pretty sure that in the 30,000 estimated genes in the entire human genome, there is none that affects the predispositions of a person. The genome may cause limitations in certain behaviors, which in case the person adapts to it in various ways, including being aggressive. The inability to perform something (i.e. mental retardation, birth defects, abnormalities, etc.) because of the implied limitations predisposes that person to frustration, thus he or she becomes aggressive or become angry easily. It's pretty much social conditioning than genetic inheritance.

If you really want to relate it to medical conditions, though, you can perhaps ascribe it to hormonal imbalance, such as elevated levels of adrenaline, dopamine, or testosterone. It makes you hyper, but it won't make you angry unless you're already angry in the first place.

Cosine Phi follows the same numbering system as all the rest of the Monitors found in the Halo games. If he were really in the games, he'd be the Monitor of Installation 06.

(The numbering system is powers of 7. 343 Guilty Spark is 7^3, 2401 Penitent Tangent is 7^4, and 16807 Cosine Phi is 7^5.)

Orbital Prison Facility 354

Steel grey corridor after corridor filled Tesla’s vision as she walked through one of the higher secured prison facilities in TSAB controlled space. Her goal was to interview a certain prisoner, one she had never really had the chance to look in the eyes before she was assigned this mission.

The target was a tough case. He had refused almost any form of cooperation, and only after weeks of demanding, reasoning and discussing had he allowed them to properly interview him. On the conditions that only one person was to be present and that he could choose the one to interview him.

Rounding another corridor, the Knight of the Sky finally arrived at interrogation room, where her target was already seated. Tesla calmly took place in the chair at the opposite end of the table, and turned to meet the one who had been the cause the recent chaos eye to eye.

Jail Scaglietti never flinched. “Ah, so they send the genius mind of Riot Force 6 to interview me. A pity, I had hoped to see enforcer Testarossa again.”

“You asked someone capable from Riot Force 6 to interview you, Enforcer Testarossa would have been the primary choice, but she is still in recovery from her last battle.” Tesla responded as she activated a data screen. Truth be told Fate was more then capable physically, but mentally was another story. Shamal had managed to wring out a medical excuse to prevent her from going, leaving the task to Tesla. “But let us get down to business; you have defied countless of dimensional laws, caused chaos of a rather large scale, and came close to obtaining the power to destroy the world. I am curious as to what your goals and reasons were.”

Jail smiled. “I believe I have already told you my reasons.”

“You mean the broadcast? Nice façade, but shortly afterwards you arrived with a huge Lost Logia warship that almost gave you the ability to destroy not only Mid-Childa, but many of the surrounding dimensions as well. Such actions tend to destroy an innocent messiah image.”

Jail grinned. “As an experiment created for other peoples benefit, would you not want to take revenge? I would not even have done that much damage. Just because I had the power does not mean I would have used it.” He sighed dramatically. “But then, since you people stopped me, there is no way for me to prove my words.”

Tesla was currently analyzing Jail’s words, and typing away to log the data and her analysis. “The true irony is that we were never really responsible for taking care of you, our goal was the securing of the Relics. Eventually circumstances led us to taking care of you as well. Now the Cradle is destroyed and all the sentoukijin captured. Your plans are over.”

“Speaking of the sentoukijin, whatever happened to the copies I implanted into them?” Jail asked.

“They were removed, of course.” Tesla’s answer came unfazed.

Jail chuckled. “So you willingly admit you murdered unborn life? Can you live with that shame?”

“Doctor” Tesla’s voice remained unfazed. “This kind of manipulation may have worked on Testarossa, but I have killed countless people in my existence. Twelve more unborn dimensional criminals hardly faze me.”

“Ahh, my mistake. After being surrounded by so much optimism for so long it is… refreshing to see a Bureau member with a realistic look on matters.”

Still typing away, Tesla responded. “You seem to make a lot of mistakes for someone who started of so brilliantly, many of which eventually cost you the battle.”

“hooh?” Jail’s interest was piqued, and not just at the compliment. There was something he noticed about the way this girl worked… her mind was currently divided towards several tasks. Questioning him and analyzing his answers seemed only a small portion. He wondered what else could have been so successfully in drawing away the girl’s focus. Worry? The future?

He decided to probe further.

“Yes, I’ll admit that leaving only such a small guard force on my trump card was a fatal mistake, eventually ending in the destruction of the ship.”

There! There is was, it was small, but this girl definitely had reacted when he mentioned the destruction of the Cradle.

“Such a shame, a grand vessel like that, simply blown up because I had managed to get my hands on it first. As a scientist I can only sigh in disappointment. Tell, me when you saw the Cradle in the sky, what did you think of it?”

Tesla’s mind, which had been jumping back and forth between questioning and analyzing both Jail’s questions, as well as compare the new analysis to the tactics the sentoukijin and gadgets deployed, combined with trying to solve the political backlash the betrayal and loss of Regius and the council was causing, not to mention filled with worry over her comrades conditions, received somewhat of a low blow with Jail’s query. While spiraling to come to grip with what went were, confusion settled in, which was probably the reason why Tesla answered his question truthfully.

“I would have loved to have piloted the ship.”

Jail grinned. “Did you know that the Cradle used to be the flagship of Ancient Belka? We never utilized its full potential in the battle but the magical cannons were not the only line of defense.”

“Really?” Tesla saved what she had typed so far and opened a new file. Curiosity demanded more information on the ship. And the information on the Cradle’s capabilities might be convenient archiving data for Yuuno, she rationalized.

“Yes, you see, the Cradle originally also had a point-defense system. However, it seemed that it was supposed to have been powered by mages, which is why we replaced it with Type-2 drones.”

Tesla shook her head. “That was a bad choice, Type-2’s have a low fire-rate. Was it not possible to try and link the point-defense to the main reactor?”

The conversation lasted longer then either had expected, and neither had realized it until the guards had returned and informed them that time was up. Tesla effortlessly closed her screen and got up, but Jail had a few final words to say.

As he was dragged to his feet by the guards, he smiled at Tesla. “This had been a most enjoyable conversation, captain Tesla. I do hope we can speak to one another soon.” His smile remained and his eyes continued to linger on Tesla as the guards led him back out the door and to his cell.

Tesla herself declined the offer for an escort, and exited through the other door. After rounding two corridors, though, she swiftly turned sideways and slammed her head into the wall.

As the dull bang echoed into silence, and pain tingled through her body, Tesla asked herself the question.

“What the hell was I doing?”

Sure, she had gained a lot of information, more so then any other had managed to draw from him, but in her disorganized state she had completely allowed him to lead the conversation, the pace, the subject, the questions. How could she have allowed that?

But most importantly, why had her heart skipped a beat when he had smiled at her?

“hooh?” Jail’s interest was piqued, and not just at the compliment. There was something he noticed about the way this girl worked… her mind was currently divided towards several tasks. Questioning him and analyzing his answers seemed only a small portion. He wondered what else could have been so successfully in drawing away the girl’s focus. Worry? The future?

He decided to probe further.

“Yes, I’ll admit that leaving only such a small guard force on my trump card was a fatal mistake, eventually ending in the destruction of the ship.”

There! There is was, it was small, but this girl definitely had reacted when he mentioned the destruction of the Cradle.

“Such a shame, a grand vessel like that, simply blown up because I had managed to get my hands on it first. As a scientist I can only sigh in disappointment. Tell, me when you saw the Cradle in the sky, what did you think of it?”

Tesla’s mind, which had been jumping back and forth between questioning and analyzing both Jail’s questions, as well as compare the new analysis to the tactics the sentoukijin and gadgets deployed, combined with trying to solve the political backlash the betrayal and loss of Regius and the council was causing, not to mention filled with worry over her comrades conditions, received somewhat of a low blow with Jail’s query. While spiraling to come to grip with what went were, confusion settled in, which was probably the reason why Tesla answered his question truthfully.

“I would have loved to have piloted the ship.”

Jail grinned. “Did you know that the Cradle used to be the flagship of Ancient Belka? We never utilized its full potential in the battle but the magical cannons were not the only line of defense.”

“Really?” Tesla saved what she had typed so far and opened a new file. Curiosity demanded more information on the ship. And the information on the Cradle’s capabilities might be convenient archiving data for Yuuno, she rationalized.

“Yes, you see, the Cradle originally also had a point-defense system. However, it seemed that it was supposed to have been powered by mages, which is why we replaced it with Type-2 drones.”

Tesla shook her head. “That was a bad choice, Type-2’s have a low fire-rate. Was it not possible to try and link the point-defense to the main reactor?”

The conversation lasted longer then either had expected, and neither had realized it until the guards had returned and informed them that time was up. Tesla effortlessly closed her screen and got up, but Jail had a few final words to say.

As he was dragged to his feet by the guards, he smiled at Tesla. “This had been a most enjoyable conversation, captain Tesla. I do hope we can speak to one another soon.” His smile remained and his eyes continued to linger on Tesla as the guards led him back out the door and to his cell.

Tesla herself declined the offer for an escort, and exited through the other door. After rounding two corridors, though, she swiftly turned sideways and slammed her head into the wall.

As the dull bang echoed into silence, and pain tingled through her body, Tesla asked herself the question.

“What the hell was I doing?”

Sure, she had gained a lot of information, more so then any other had managed to draw from him, but in her disorganized state she had completely allowed him to lead the conversation, the pace, the subject, the questions. How could she have allowed that?

But most importantly, why had her heart skipped a beat when he had smiled at her?

...blasphemy.
Madness.
THIS! IS! CRA- *kick'd*

Vita-drama is always good. Hell, character drama of any sort is good, as the anime was somewhat light on it at times (other times just right).

Interestingly, heterochromia can result as a form of brain damage.

Ah, I did not know that.

Lemme retype it first and I'll show it to ya. It might be a while because I'm not a fan of "oh hay let's do-over".

Nice start also for Zafira's eventual non-shafting, too!

And what a revelation about the event in Ariadne being a Bureau-wide coverup! Must be something seriously troublesome.

I haven't decided when I'm going to reveal what happened to Ariadne, but it'll probably be later on...

Anyone who contributes to the story in some way will get their name in the ending credits of the quote "final episode/OVA" (which isn't actually the final episode, as there's an epilogue chapter after that). Not only that, but I really want Outer Cadia's input .

Orbital Prison Facility 354

Steel grey corridor after corridor filled Tesla’s vision as she walked through one of the higher secured prison facilities in TSAB controlled space. Her goal was to interview a certain prisoner, one she had never really had the chance to look in the eyes before she was assigned this mission.

The target was a tough case. He had refused almost any form of cooperation, and only after weeks of demanding, reasoning and discussing had he allowed them to properly interview him. On the conditions that only one person was to be present and that he could choose the one to interview him.

Rounding another corridor, the Knight of the Sky finally arrived at interrogation room, where her target was already seated. Tesla calmly took place in the chair at the opposite end of the table, and turned to meet the one who had been the cause the recent chaos eye to eye.

Jail Scaglietti never flinched. “Ah, so they send the genius mind of Riot Force 6 to interview me. A pity, I had hoped to see enforcer Testarossa again.”

“You asked someone capable from Riot Force 6 to interview you, Enforcer Testarossa would have been the primary choice, but she is still in recovery from her last battle.” Tesla responded as she activated a data screen. Truth be told Fate was more then capable physically, but mentally was another story. Shamal had managed to wring out a medical excuse to prevent her from going, leaving the task to Tesla. “But let us get down to business; you have defied countless of dimensional laws, caused chaos of a rather large scale, and came close to obtaining the power to destroy the world. I am curious as to what your goals and reasons were.”

Jail smiled. “I believe I have already told you my reasons.”

“You mean the broadcast? Nice façade, but shortly afterwards you arrived with a huge Lost Logia warship that almost gave you the ability to destroy not only Mid-Childa, but many of the surrounding dimensions as well. Such actions tend to destroy an innocent messiah image.”

Jail grinned. “As an experiment created for other peoples benefit, would you not want to take revenge? I would not even have done that much damage. Just because I had the power does not mean I would have used it.” He sighed dramatically. “But then, since you people stopped me, there is no way for me to prove my words.”

Tesla was currently analyzing Jail’s words, and typing away to log the data and her analysis. “The true irony is that we were never really responsible for taking care of you, our goal was the securing of the Relics. Eventually circumstances led us to taking care of you as well. Now the Cradle is destroyed and all the sentoukijin captured. Your plans are over.”

“Speaking of the sentoukijin, whatever happened to the copies I implanted into them?” Jail asked.

“They were removed, of course.” Tesla’s answer came unfazed.

Jail chuckled. “So you willingly admit you murdered unborn life? Can you live with that shame?”

“Doctor” Tesla’s voice remained unfazed. “This kind of manipulation may have worked on Testarossa, but I have killed countless people in my existence. Twelve more unborn dimensional criminals hardly faze me.”

“Ahh, my mistake. After being surrounded by so much optimism for so long it is… refreshing to see a Bureau member with a realistic look on matters.”

Still typing away, Tesla responded. “You seem to make a lot of mistakes for someone who started of so brilliantly, many of which eventually cost you the battle.”

...I was kinda disappointed, since when I first saw that I screamed JailKo.

But this works just well too!
