Also, having the lab be a part of the bureau and the Main Branch gives Hayate an excuse to be out there at just the right time for her to meet up with this new character on relatively friendly circumstances (I say relatively because the device needs to be subdued and then convinced that Hayate's not involved with the mage's captors). It also allows her to show off how deshafted she's been in this timeline by taking this device down single-handedly, something she could never have pulled off in canon.

So this Regius-ish guy would be the Xizor of the Nanohaverse? Wouldn't it make more sense then to have him be the leader, and the organisation to take on a partnership role to the TSAB similar to the Black Sun had with the Empire? That also makes it easier for the Brains to cut all connections. It's kinda tricky to explain you have no connections when the subjects are found in one of your own labs, after all. Also makes it a lot harder for Hayate to convince this girl she's one of the good guys too.

Hey Keroko, I'm just curious, but your timeline, Keroko left Rouge Squadron and transfered over to RF6, but continues to bear the Squadron's emblem on her uniform.
Now my question is, what kind of circumstances would Keroko ask for a transfer back into her old unit, and whereabouts in was the squadron posted? Near the RF6 base? Or is it ways away, but located on Mid-Childa?

Actually, Nanoha didn't have so much as a scratch on her body. Even her Barrier Jacket was still intact, minus the ribbon that suffered a bit of damage earlier on in the battle. |

I've always thought that she managed to dispel the bindings (which she learned from Yuuno in the SoundStages I believe) enough to put up a barrier which barely managed to withstand the attack (thus the crackling of energy and flickering orb on RH as well as the Mid circle under her). Not to mention, as Keroko said, her BJ was basically unharmed except for hte 'static' of residual magic in the air.

Something just hit me as I pulled into my driveway a minute ago...
Well actually, the radio did it. I was listening to a hard rock station when they started rocking after commercials. It was familliar and suddenly I realized what song it was... And now I have an even better song for the ultra epic Admiral Lindy vs Daedalus Malandra fight: http://search.playlist.com/tracks/master%20of%20puppets "MASTER OF PUPPETS I'M PULLING THE STRINGS!" Seems right for a guy who's been 'pulling the strings' behind the scenes. |

I myself wouldn’t compare them to the SAFA though and the link seems tenuous to me the missions are very different IMO SAFA are IMO basiclly the Nanoha version of the USAF 57th Wing. While what you’re proposing here looks rather more like Navy SEALs.

...I just had what may be the craziest yet potentially workable idea in my entire time as a Cadian.
We know for certain that the bureau hires mages to do their dirty work as Contract Mages... well what about privateers? Contract Mages who also happen to be the captains of their own ships, from cargo haulers and cruise ships all the way up to battleships and dreadnaughts. The crew don't necessarily have to be contract mages too, since they're working for the captain. Imagine this: The Belkan Empire falls and all of known dimension space suddenly goes completely nuts, with pretty much every world at every other world's throat. In the power vacuum left by the Belkans, hundreds of renegades and pirate groups spring up all over the place, sometimes operating alone, sometimes operating in groups or even whole fleets led by "Pirate Kings", who prowl the spaces between worlds much like real pirates did on the open seas. Into this mess comes the newly-formed TSAB, a coalition of worlds who are just plain sick and tired of the endless war. Early in the bureau's existence, one of the founders manages to strike a deal with one of the pirate kings, offering to pay them to prey on the shipping of worlds who insist on picking on the bureau's member worlds. As time goes on and more and more worlds join the bureau (perhaps under threat of intensive pirating), more and more pirates and freelancers are offered these deals while the bureau's navy grows at a steady rate. Around MC 017, the bureau's growth spurt ends and the privateers are assigned jobs to prey on those pirates who haven't gotten the hint. At some point after this, the privateers are organized into a loose fleet under the command of one of the Three Great Admirals, at which point they experience a sudden transition from pirates into the single largest group of contract mages in the bureau's history. Those who don't like this go back to their old ways and are often hunted down by their former colleagues at some point in the future. Some ships in this fleet are incorporated into the bureau's planetary defense network, while others are used as patrol ships and the like. The sudden lack of targets to plunder is compensated for with a huge increase in pay, up to the standard of enlisted TSA mages times the number of crewmen on a captain's ship. As the bureau consolidates its' power and transforms into the well-armed and organized force we see today, defense of the core planets becomes a job almost exclusively granted to warships of the Main Branch, while the privateers are relegated to patrols of the outer rim and hunting down other pirates and basically doing what the fleet's admiral tells them to. The captains and the pirates are pretty much cool with this, because the man in charge is a guy who pretty much everyone in the fleet has a great deal of respect for, one Admiral Jack Spar-- *Is shot*

Lawl Comar, if only I didn't make the Midchilda like Americanz but ol Britainnia, if only they were Britainnia.
Then again, I liked the game Privateer, maybe just small time contract mages who were once pirates. I mean, what you're proposing is essentially a contract mage niche. We can have Jack Sparrow whos a contract mage, and his task is to hunt pirates... ...though wouldn't that be character assassination on Jack's side? And that task force would be yet another sub-department of the SOPCC... Just some random thoughts for now. I don't see a special need for this department, after looking past the Khrack. And plz don't bring Jack (or any of Johnny Depp's roles except The Barber of Baker Street) here too soon, Anita's pretty rabid in Fangirl Mode...

No, there's no special need for a bunch of pirates running around and working for the bureau, but the TSA's pretty much stuck with them. If they cut them loose they'll just go right back to raping and pillaging the dimensional highways and making an arseload of work for the bureau to clean up, and it'll be the bureau's own fault for letting them go in the first place. Much easier to keep them around and let them fill in the holes in the bureau's coverage patterns; you can never have too many ships, after all.

I'll keep that analogy with the seals in mind. Like I said to Keroko above, there's really not much in common apart from the whole 'elite' mages thing. Quote:
