For sure, not with the same amount of trust and belief that the OFM puts into Ivanovich, though then again, Ivanovich is Ivanovich.

It ends up turning to be something entirely different, but things tie him up there.Essentially, inteligence screwed up and he was sent on a wild-goose chase.

It's really not that hard to come up with a plausible reason as to why he's not there.

As Liingo said, it's not that hard. Wild goose chase is one option; the other can be that he got wtfpwnt by the Numbers a week earlier while attempting to defend TSAB HQ.

For the OFM, they were originally planning to do a HALO (High Altitude Low Opening) combat drop from 45 thousand feet INTO the Cradle, but were retasked to support Ground Forces against the Gadget Drone swarm in areas with low numbers of Ground Forces; the HEAT shells and sniper rocket ammo came in very usefull, along with the 25mm autocannons they got from World 82 and mounted on Warthogs. Basically, this is a big threat, and there's more to the battle than just the Cradle, Genya Nakajima's battalion, and the Capital Air Defense Squad. This is an example of OCs taking part in the fighting but not being mentioned in canon - because they were acting black. (As black as you can get in broad daylight...)

Other thing is for Jail to launch Drone attacks all over the world, thus tying up TSAB response.

Not bothering to lift her head, Hayate smiled as she proceeded to continue with what she was doing then, completely concentrating at her task on hand while replying, " Of course, it's not like we haven't done this a million times already."

"I know," Grandis replied as he made his move responding to Hayate's, breaking his way inside, her brow slightly contorted to that move by Grandis. "but tomorrow you'll be going on a mission. Even if you're with your knights, it's natural that I'd be worried. I’d hate it if you're not at your best because I drained you of all your energy tonight."

Hayate giggled, while Grandis's blank look invited wonders from her. He's probably the only one who can say that with a straight face and not realize the potential double meaning behind those words, before the game of chess they're playing.

Arcas: <slams door open> GAKI!! WHAT ARE YOU- <sees situation> I'll be going now...

"Hey, what was that for?" Subaru could only ask as the Admiral took out the finger and swabbed a slide with it.

"Just some tests... I'll be back with something later."

And so Kyla left the privacy of that curtained section and went to the adjacent section, where Ashton was waiting for the doctor for his own examination. And as quick as lightning, Kyla stuck the drool-soaked pointer into Ashton's mouth.

"Don't complain..." She quickly spoke and removed the finger and the glove, replacing the spent rubber on the hand with a new glove.

"What was that for 'mam?" he asked.

"Just a new syrup composition that i was trying with less sugar." Kyla quickly replied, hiding the fact that she just did a mortal sin to hygienics. "So, how does it taste?"

"It's... sweet... sweeter than Earth Honey... It's the sweetest thing i ever tasted..."

"Why thank you. And yes, open wide as well- i need to take some samples..."

Ashton could only comply, doing the same thing she had done with Subaru. And so she left, with her pointer now coated with Ashton's drool. She again went inside Subaru's section.

"Nakajima, taste this..." Kyla offered the soaked gloved pointer. "Just a new syrup composition that i was trying with less sugar."

Subaru could only comply, but there was no reaction.

"Well? did you taste anything?"

Subaru was silent.

"Oh well... back to the kitchen." the admiral could only sigh.

But as soon as she left, a mild tinge of red swept by Subaru's face.

"Sweet... too sweet..."

Three days later, Both Subaru and Ashton fall to fever.

Kyla: I should have known, they're withdrawing...

...I REALLY don't what to say to this...

Just a few teasers:

Crack that joins the Combiners type of movie spoofs:

Spoiler for The what?:

"It is not who I am, but what I do, that defines me."

The Cleric Begins

And a interview with the Director of the Movie Event this Summer - Rebuilt of StrikerS

Spoiler for Interview:

Q: What is Rebuilt of StrikerS?
A: Essentially it would be a shounen take on the 7Arcs watered-down version, with a dramatically different ending and various other plotlines, both CC and OC will hopefully be explored.

Q: A departure from canon? That's quite a surprise, coming from you.
A: Well you could say that the call for reform has been around ever since the story seemed to take a nose-dive, while resorting to cheap plot devices and serving up pointless fanservice. I first went with it, but having nothing much to do without a satellite uplink, I decided, "ah what the heck, let's try writing it as Keroko-kun has been doing all along."

That means we're looking at full OC inclusion from the get-go for one. Also, we're attempting to expand the Nanohaverse at the same time, so apart from a better coverage of Belka and Midchilda, expect to see the Eta's musical approaches mixed with technology like the space elves they are, the infamous walker technologies that should've been there, and maybe the Tang's ofuda magics.

Of course, that also means the 82nd will appear, Chrono will appear, there's be druid!Yuuno, even Canaad and Kira.

Q: So are the changes cosmetic?
A: Yes some are cosmetic, like adding service personel to the deserted hallways of Riot 6 Base, to a scene of Carim showing her stuff in parliamentary debate. But other include showcasing the full arsenal of the TSAB, explaining several plotholes like why the fleet was 3 hrs from home, and giving the Belka forces more screentime.

Q: Do you have anything you'd like to mention of the take?
A: Firstly, I'd like you to watch for the preface to be released together with the first chapter. The justification for this crackproject will be explained there. :3

Secondly, once things go to Akham in Crenagan City, expect not drones but mass-produced Numbers VS Aerial Aces from the Air Force. We're gonna have massive mage to mage battles at the level of Gundam Wing's Battle of Mas. Full beam spam, and Nanoha will show off more tricks that befits her White Demon moniker, like Fin Funnels, insane accuracy and stunts stunts stunts!

Thirdly, I'd like to take this chance to develop the Tausend Kreuz to full. Having an AI that's the Seiou is begging for this to happen.

Also, this would be a great time to bring out the link between Jail and Kha. The good Doc's not going down with a home run; expect him to keep coming back for more, with more machines and back up, like a scientist, fueled by desire and devoid of humanity, should be.

So just an AU remake of StrikerS, huh? I wonder, though, how much crack is going to be made AU-only? And what crack will be left for the canon timeline? For example, the Kha/Jail and the Sakura/Seiou cracks... they are absolutely AU, but are they also going to be left in the canon timeline?

And, "It is not who I am, but what I do, that defines me."? I guess you're going to skip all the character development and jump straight to the action, huh?

One thing: would a shooting attack that can "strike through" other magical damage attacks like SB and DB be too over the top?

Spoiler for Xalinth Tamerlan Personal:

Name: Xalinth Tamerlan
Age: 19
Affiliation: TSAB Armored Division
Magic Colour: White/Dark Red/Black
Magic Type: Neo-Belka
Home Planet: Midchilda
Device: Weisenfangkreuz (White Fang Cross)

Spoiler for Xalinth Tamerlan Appearance and Persona:

A juvenile looking, "scruffy" young man, tall and lean at 6'1, 175 pounds. He usually wears all white uniforms, with black shoes and buttons. He has short blonde hair, green eyes, and a small dusting of facial hair.

His Barrier Jacket consists of a white "breastplate" with red and black Belka cross on the shoulders, black gauntlets, a black belt on white pants, and black shoes.

Even though he tends to look "serious", in reality, he has a very playful side to him. He has no shame about partying and having fun, is very confident (sometimes to a fault) with the ladies, and is sometimes a troublemaker when he's not actually doing something important. He is known in his unit for being able to hold his drink like a man twice his age (which got him in the good graces of O'Neill immediately, though those good graces are tested with his occasional antics).

At the same time, when something is happening, he is always the first to take up his weapon and head to the battle, he will mix it up in the front lines despite that not being his skill, and he has a way of finding weaknesses in opposing sides and attempting to exploit them. He is very idealistic, despite his sometimes frivolous appearance, and that was part of the reason while he took to Belka ideals - he considers himself a knight at heart, with all that entails.

Spoiler for Xalinth Tamerlan Device Info:

Weisenfangkreuz is in the form of a crossbow, burnished completely white. It is about 2 feet long, though it can quickly extend 2 feet into a spear to provide some defense in a melee situation. It was given to him upon his passing of the S class exam.

Spoiler for Xalinth Tamerlan Spells:

Engelflügel (Angel Wings)

Essentially the same sort of move as Flier Fin, etc, it produces a quick burst of speed to supplement the speed he already has.

Lichtenpfeil (Light Arrow)

Power: AAA
Speed: AAA
Range: AA
Accuracy: A
Casting Speed: AA
Using his device, a single magical shot is fired.

Blendenlichtpfeil (Blinding Light Arrow)- This spell sacrifices power to increase range, accuracy, and speed.

Power: AA
Speed: S
Range: AA
Accuracy: AA
Casting Speed: AA

Aufflammenlichtpfiel (Blazing Light Arrow) This sacrifices range, and speed to increase power.

Power: S
Speed: AA
Range: A
Accuracy: A
Casting Speed: AA

Glänzender Angriff (Meteoric Assault) - A bombardment attack that loads a large amount of energy into the device (requires a cartridge load), fires into the sky, and the energy bombards everything in a 150-250m radius.

Power: S (in terms of total output, not per shot)
Speed: AA
Range: AA
Accuracy: N/A
Casting Speed: B
Area of Effect: B


Rustenbruch (Armor Breaker) - a shot specificially designed to break the barrier magic of an opponent. Does not do physical damage.

Power: N/A
Speed: AA
Range: AAA
Accuracy: AA
Casting Speed: AA
AOE: N/A

Dreiäugigerengelform (Three-Eyed Angel Form)

Weisenfangkreuz's Full Drive Mode - Xalinth transforms into an angelic creature with a third eye in his forehead. This increases his ranged accuracy and power, as well as his defensive abilities. However, this consumes a great deal of mana, and strains his Linker Core greatly. As such, he prefers not to use this form except in emergencies.

Power: N/A
Speed: N/A
Range: N/A
Accuracy: N/A
Casting Speed N/A
AOE: N/A

Spoiler for Xalinth Tamerlan Background:

Xalinth Tamerlan was born to a rich Midchildan family who had great influence in politics and policy. As a child, he adored his older brother, Paulus Tamerlan, who was a member of the TSAB Spec-Ops unit, and from that adoration, was born an intense interest in the TSAB and warfare in general. He was fascinated with the military, both due to his upbringing and his natural interest. He read about magical theory, military strategy, and idolized the great mages of the Bureau forces - Nanoha, Hayate, Fate and so forth - not only for their ability, but for the fact that they were not much older than he was. He believed in his heart that he could be as good if not better than them.

He had early magical training, starting at the age of six. He was far ahead of the curve for his youth, and it was apparent that he was a child with a great deal of magical potential.

Because of his latent magical talent, and because of his training, he was already an AAA class mage, and ended up joining the TSAB as a trainee at age 10.

Due to the fact that his family thought highly of the newly rediscovered Belka magic, he was encouraged to study that style rather than the Mid-style his brother specialized in.

Because of friendly donations by his family to the Saint Church, he was able to get some of the best Belka training available, from high ranking Ancient Velka practitioners like Hayate and Carim, and received the gift of Weisenfangkreuz from K. A. Testarossa, another elite Belka mage.

He was diligent, nearly obsessive in his training, training 6-8 hours a day, either in mock battles, physical training, or book study. He even became an apprentice in the Infinite Library under Yuuno Scrya in order to glean more knowledge about history.

He first saw action at the age of thirteen, in a short campaign to put down a distant rebellion. This rebellion was Tamerlan's first combat experience, both in real combat and in the command of troops. He performed admirably, after initial failure (to which he attributes the unlocking of his Full Drive form) and received a promotion. However, he was not involved in the StrikerS campaign a year later, as he was evacuated from Midchilda by his family during the Cradle incident (despite his personal objections - he wanted to fight with Sector 6.)

He took the S-rank exam at 16, and passed, and with that, he asked to be assigned to the new TSAB Armored Division. He served mostly in tactics and logistics, and has not seen real action since.

Spoiler for Xalinth Tamerlan Ratings:

Strengths: Exceptional ranged attacker. Great versatility and range. Very intelligent and cerebral mage, who is very precise in the way he consumes his magic; therefore, he can fight for a long time. Excellent at taking out opposing individual personnel. His ability to break defensive barriers with a single shot is very rare among mages and is incredibly useful as a support option. Can evade enemy fire with ease with his quickness and evasion. Can increase his power greatly with Dreiäugigerengelform.

Weaknesses:

Mediocre melee fighter. Will mix it up because of his personality, but struggles in that area. Can at least block and parry, and knock enemies away to create distance for his arrows. Doesn't emphasize defense - he can take a hit sort of, but does not like to take any sort of attack head-on, prefering to dodge and weave. Is almost useless in support.

Attack Stats:
Melee: C
Range: S
Wide-Area: D

Defense Stats:
Speed: AAA
Physical Defense: B
Magical Defense: B

Support Stats:
Barrier Magic: F
Healing Magic: F
Binding Magic: F

Wow, leading troops when 13 years old, and he passed the S-rank exam when 16? This guy is a genius.

Indeed. I wonder if people like Regius would do such things, though...he seems like the type who would, in order to achieve his goals. And since he's the head of the Ground Forces, it doesnt sound too good, huh?

MInd you, it;s only a draft that is likely to change at any moment...

You mean the Enforcer rankings? Well, at least what you have there helps me visualize the Navy a bit better. And it makes sense.

1) Enforcer Unit 85 (EU85), 'Spellbook'
2) Enforcers. Nuff said.
3) Navy (obviously)
4) Ask canon (umm everywhere I guess...)
5) 20 Combat personel, with an unknown number of support staff.
6) Shared use of Navy resources.
Current Combat Base of Operations: Tempest, Class XV ship(It is XV right? The same model as Chronos)
Quarters: Local Enforcer HQ based on Midchilda, on the outskirts of the capital.
Priortiy access to Hawk-4, one of the choppers attached to the Enforcer HQ.

-Standard Issue Devices/Jackets apart from the 3rd squad within the unit. Devices/Jackets have been modified to suit the users preferences.

-One of the first units to receive the latest generation Jackets, which adapt to the surroundings upon materialisation (essentially adaptive camoflauge print on the jackets). These jackets are also capable of providing limited visual stealth (User has to be stationary/ any movement cancels the effect. Activated after being stationary for 20 seconds, in addition to a mana requirement.)

- Users of the Tactical Combat Display (TCD). An eyepiece that provides information about the surroundings/ status of team mates etc, via HUD (well not quite, but similar to it). Some basic early warning features are embedded in the TCD.

That's pretty much it for me.

Nice. And nice idea there with the Chameleon Jackets.

Like I said to Lowe, I was wondering whether or not to put it there. But the I said, "To hell with it!" Since he already has the reputation, I might as well use it as a running gag.

Its good that you're keeping that. Its certainly already part of his character, and not just for LULz.

Opinion accepted.

And it's not like Altair's AI isn't advanced. It's AI is just about as good as Mach Caliber's. It's just that the cartridge system there is not too frequently used in the first place and is there for emergencies, and the frame was a sturdy prototype. Besides, Altair and Vega were experimental units made by the same maker for the same purpose, so it would be wierd if the maker was to omit a feature.

Thanks again. And I do see your point. Perhaps I'll edit some stuff if I get more brainstorms.

Ah, not saying that its AI is not advanced... just that, since, for a device to hold a cartridge system, its frame has to be quite sturdy, the device might not be able to have the most advanced and delicate pieces of technology. Its a balance issue that maybe noone cares much about, though. I think we already established that Raising Heart and Bardiche are probably the best devices around, too.

And yup, I know they were both made the same way by the same maker. I kept that in mind. Though its weird how the maker did not tweak Altair to better fit Almaria's fighting style...

In any case, I say again, its just my point of view. I dont think making changes is needed, unless you actually feel like changes need to be made.

Specialist.

APPROVED!

Spells of temperature manipulation (as stated in the Eternal Coffin data). Aurion's control over such is just about as much as that and nothing further.

No problem.

Thanks!
Though knowing what happens in the future is really disappointing.

Indeed. Though maybe you can do some Nighty-style crack and bring her back...thanks to our resident genius, Jail Scaglietti...

Oh crap, crack is filling my head now... Almaria a Relic Weapon and friends with my OCs...

Well that just calls into question what the hell the point of these pods are even more since they clearly have an IMO cheaper alternative that dose pretty much the same thing, I didn't really read to much past the first book I just skimmed them as i didn't really like Honor... which is a problem. Still I've read and heard enough about Pod to consider them pretty useless in any universe BESIDE honorverse and somewhat dubious in that universe.

Inbook explanation is due to the lag invovled in controlling the missiles, though by At All Costs, the most recent main book, Manticore (Hemphill, rather) has figured out how to get rid of the lag and control missiles directly. At any rate, the 2nd senario you suggested was used in At All Costs to ambush one thirds of an incoming Havenite fleet attacking Manticore, before the call for surrender was made.

How do the pods solve this problem exactly, and this just means that any universe with fairly small scale FTL comms (a huge, huge number) would have no use for them.

I managed to email a contact of mine, a retired Royal Navy Captain, and
asked him his thoughts on the matter. Summarised as follows, they are:

VLS all over the hull: VLS is highly useful and you get a good rate of fire; the problem with that, however, is that the VLS fires so fast you're liable to run dry after a short engagement. A Ticonderoga-class cruiser will shoot itself dry in less that two minutes, while an Arleigh-Burke runs dry a little over one. This on one hand is a good thing, because the Ticos were built as fleet defense cruisers, intended to missile spam incoming enemy fighters and missiles;

My answer to this is: what’s your point?
Seriously what’s his point a rapid possible rate of fire is GOOD and it’s not like they HAVE to fire at the maximum possible fire rate, but they can if they NEED too. This is indisputably an advantage it has no pretty much no downside whatsoever, with a rail system you can’t empty your magazine in a minute or two, even if you desperately, desperately needed too. It's also just as hard to reload an internal missile mag from what I understand since it also involves hatches and cranes and such and considerable manhandling to get the weapons below decks.

on the other hand, once they've shot themselves dry, it's a real bitch to reload the VLS tubes, especially at sea: you have to reload them from the outside in, and this doesn't consider the problems of matching and keeping in formation... basically, reloading at sea is a bitch; now take that to space and consider reloading a 1.4km warship. More of a bitch.

I’d dispute this fairly vehemently reloading in space it would be significantly easier IMO you’d have no wind, no ocean chop, you can match speed to within tenths of a m/s most likely, and due to lack of gravity one guy could easily manhandle a 50 foot missile into it’s tube without even needing a crane or anything. Zero gravity makes some stuff harder, but in terms of ship maintenance or construction it’s a god send.

A second consideration he pointed out to me was of the risk of having an entire hull studed with VLS tubes would pose. He was a frigate captain, and the British were just starting to implement VLS during his days (60s to the early 90s was when he served), and there were great fears in the Royal Navy over what would happen if the Argentinians scored a direct hit on the VLS. On a Frigate like the one he skippered, it's a moot point - any hit would have been dangerous - but on a Ticonderonga? (Yes, I know the British never had any Ticos. They still wargamed against the Americans, so they did have a good idea of what US Navy ships could do.) One lucky hit to the VLS and it blows sky high. Now imagine a space ship 1.4 kilometers long, studded with VLS tubes. One hit and you'll set off the magazine. Not exactly a comforting thought.

This strikes me as very suspect I’d ask him how this is any more of a risk then a missile hit to the old below deck magazine (our the huge launch bay crammed with missile pods...) which was a room stocked full of dozens of fueled missiles, no modern ship has armor so penetration into that area is hardly unlikely from any decent sized ASM, and the pods would either be strapped outside or have a big gapping opening they where launched from so they're not exactly much better. Besides a normal missile magazine will takes up pretty much the same area of a ship as the VLS would anyway (the area directly below the launchers) this strikes me as a knee jerk reaction without acutally considering the facts involved.

Of coruse a magazine hit is going to be devastating, but it would devastate a ship with a arm launcher system or a bay loaded full of fuel missile pods just as badly as one with VLS, acutally VLS might be better in this aspect their would be little resistance above it so a large amount of the force of the detonation might simply blow out upward through the thin roof of the VLS tubes, much like the compartmentalized ammo storage on an M1 tank. I can’t prove that mind, but it seems entirely possible.

Allot of this doesn’t really apply to a spaceship that much though and we need to careful not to try and adapt TOO much from naval theory to something that is fundamentally very different. For starters a spacecraft would have more options in how to deploy it’s weapons, VLS is used mainly because you need to fire the missiles up into the air, but a spaceship has no “up” so you could fire the missiles out the back, from the “bottom”, the bow, the top, etc. With a spaceship pretty much any surface can be used to mount missile tubes since half of the ship isn’t going to be submerged in a viscous liquid. I would personally used a “VLS” system mounted on the bow or stern with all my missiles stacked in line behind each tube. Basically I’d load the missiles tubes like metal storm barrels so you can just spew your entire payload out of a few tubes like a machine gun. This would keep the magazine under armor and said armor largely unbroken aside from the few tubes at the bow, reloading would simply involve sliding the missiles into the tube backwards. Of course you might have smaller missiles for defense and such too and I’d probably use more normal VLS tubes for those.

Another option is mounted the missiles on brackets on the hull, or put all the launchers on big struts with significant standoff from the actual hull armor, or even on long tethers the lack of air, gravity, and ANY need for streamlining presents all kinds of options better then just dumping your missile launchers out the back of the ship.

Also, consider this: say that in one minute, an SD(P) pops out 120 pods; at the end of three minutes it's 360 pods, at the end of five, 600 pods. (Five-minute rolling intervals seem to be standard, and these are rough numbers. VERY rough. I need to reread At All Costs...) Each pod can hold a maximum of ten missiles, though in reallity only 7 will be active warshots, the rest are EW/penetration platforms. That's still 4200 missiles from ONE SHIP. Compared to the costs of all that firepower going out, the cost of pods does start to seem of lesser importance...

Acutally this just says to me the cost probably is astronomical I’m sorry but the idea that tossing out hundreds of small little maneuvering spaceships with built in railguns isn’t absurdly wasteful and expensive strikes me as ludicrous. You’ve also still totally failed to explain what advantage these “pods” provide over just dumping the missiles themselves into space. I mean if they can launch these big super duper pods so rapidly into space they ought to be able to dump scores of missiles just as fast and without all the added mass of the pods you’d get more actual missiles too.

I just don’t get were the idea that dropping little mini-missile launchers out the back of your spaceship to attack the enemy is such an awesome concept. Acutally it seems awfully close to space fighters, which few serious authors will defend as anything like useful, but at least fighters are reusable (if they survive) unlike a pod.

This is all speaking from a view point of generic sci-fi mind, in Honorverse they can sorta be justified and they're obviously used in any case, but I'd vehemently dispute they have application in anywhere outside that tiny highly specific setting.

Ah, I think I skipped to the end of that book, when he was emo-ing over killing her for the wrong reason. Nevermind that she still needed to die.

Pretty much what the Jedi need are more guys like Katarn or even to some extent Voss (he got a tad Emo, but at least he had stones) guys that will realize that you know sometimes just killing these Sith fuckers works a whole hell of allot better. I personally think Yoda poisoned the Jedi order in a rather terrible way, worse then even the Sith in someways, and that the damage was only starting to ease when the Vong arrived. (they'd done away with his celibacy bullshit, which is almost directly responsible for Vader, for instance)

I see... good, in-depth... I guess Hammond's in there somewhere, isn't he?

He'd have probably retired or be in a high level staff position preparing for such by the start of StrikerS since O'Neil is already a general at that point. He was more active back during the wars with the System Lords and such, at least that's what I just made up right now.

*nodding* Yeah, what I meant by militaristic was by TSAB standards; by ours, I figure they'd be reasonably militarised. They are in the back of beyond with all sorts of nasty aliens...

Yep things aren't as neat on the TSAB fringe as they are on Mid you can't always play by the rules if you want to win and survive out there or that was the general idea anyway, the distance also gives a bit of an excuse for why they might escape some major scrutiny in some things, that and the fact that the TSAB higher ups do find people like them useful in various places despite what they might perch for the publics consumption.

If you've never done it before... you'll never know....

I don't know I'd kind of hope that even just some smuck scriptwriter would go "You know concrete is hard and rather difficult to break with human body parts maybe punching a person through 10 feet of the stuff might be a tad excessive..."

Nope. It's been about 2 years since I last read First Strike or Fall of Reach, so my memory's a little rusty.

It's in Fall of Reach even just look at their first mission which was a political kidnapping and they talk about how if they don't crack down they think the outer colonies might rebel and try to gain independence within like a decade. The Spartans where envisioned as superhuman stormtroopers only the twist of fate of the Covenant arriving just as they went online saved them from becoming faceless soldiers of terror and turned them into heroes of humanity really.

Well... not exactly. See, if his normal hot blood level is 70-80%, his rifle-toting hot blood level is 50-60%, and the more he shoots and sees the destruction the angrier he gets... that whole scene was basically as follows: Franz had seen the destruction in RF6, chased into the tunnels, took everything in a glance and realised that they'd kidnapped Ginga, and he was ready to bring in Cinque alive when Sein popped up, and that was the last straw for him. Operating totally on combat instinct he fired and Sein and brought her down, then knocked out Subaru so she wouldn't have to see him threatening Cinque. By the time he began talking to cinque, however, he had already made up his mind to shoot both her and Sein.

He's actually on a slow fuse, that's been burning for the last decade or so, fueled by guilt and negatice feelings. He joined the Gardai, Erusia's version of magical cops, to serve the public trust, to protect the innocent, and uphold the law; when he killed Naomi's parent's innocents, even though no one knew about it, HE knows, and has been in a fairly dark place ever since. His hot blood is his way of keeping himself out of that dark place, but because of all the things he's done - black ops and wetwork can be quite unsavory at times - the pressure is building more than his hot blood can keep in check.

Sooner or later, all this will break free and bite him in the ass, forcing him to deal with it instead of ignoring it.

Warning ticking-drama bomb detected!

I'm only looking for those that were not created recently like Keroko's rogues. To be more exact, I want those that are already in the system and not put together in the "last moment" by a single character.

aka, NO RF6.

State their:

1. Designation
2. Function/Speciality/Responsibility
3. Affiliation (Ground, Air, Naval, others...)
4. Authority/Jurisdiction
5. Estimated manpower size
6. Equipment (If any, this includes vehicles.)



Have fun, I got to go to school... -_-

Most of my stuff is pretty recent, maybe 10 years old at most, some of the stuff like the 82nd Administered Worlds PDF are older, but probably not important in this.

Then, she decided to leave it behind and be more objective. Expect her to be able to unleash Karyu Issen and (new!) Sturm Phönix (non-Limit Break Unison attack) the next time the two of them meet.

Or she gets pissed and learns a lesson from this, she might be honorable most aren't and she shouldn't assume they will be in any way shape or form. Again though I'd have pegged her as smart enough not to do this to start with. Working with that I might go for an approach of her being hardest on herself for letting her pride cloud her judgment so badly.

And yes, I've been infected with Hayate-fanaticism, thanks to Aaron.

Contraction of that condition seems to be basiclly a requirement for OC thread membership...

Leona finds Aurion approachable enough, even though she's heavily suspicious of him.

Which is only sensible if she dosen't want to end up bound to a chair for "interrogation"...

Somehow, that's quite true.

And the stupid thing is I'm not even a romantic I wouldn't know romance if it ran up and attack me with a tire iron...

Aaron has been shafted!

Double entendre ahoy!

======
A bit of preview:

Spoiler for Chapter Six - Snippet:

Leona gripped her hands tightly as the Aces walked away, attending to their duties after the mission. She shut her eyes, casting light away in preference for darkness, the only way she could attend to her guilt without involving others. Yet, her heart remained pained and suffering, for she had to lie.

Lie to those who actually cared for her and thought her to be their friend.

She had told them about the Templars, about their powers, their abilities, their doctrine and mission.

Yet, she had withdrew from them the single most important fact of the Templar's existence, one that she could not reveal on her own volition. She had promised, and so had Chrono.

An unbreakable vow between the two of them.

I could not tell them that the Templars were from my world.

And I can't help that she's liable to get thrown in the brig or demoted for withholding information like this, no excuses allowed.

Once again we return to our hypothetical military unit:
Commanding officer: Wait so you knew this guy, fuck he lived across the street from you and you never mentioned this?!
Different Random Solider: I couldn't tell you!
Commanding officer: Why the fuck not?!
Different Random Solider: Well... He made me pinky swear what kind of person would I be if I broke that?!
Commanding officer: I'm surrounded by idiots...

Oi, Oi stop stealing all my lines!

Or a bloodbath if the former snaps from all the OC shafting...

Is this really needed?
Signum's not exactly a speed type. Removing her armoring is not a good thing. -_-;

Why are you worried after all according to you all the armor is just for show the das-uber-feildz will keep her safe!

We trust you, don't worry.

Speak for yourself. -_-

Doesn't her Unison mode pretty much accomlpish that? As in... she completely removes her jacket, right?

More or less which makes this seem somewhat redundant.

"Are you sure it's alright for us to be doing this, Hayate?"

Not bothering to lift her head, Hayate smiled as she proceeded to continue with what she was doing then, completely concentrating at her task on hand while replying, " Of course, it's not like we haven't done this a million times already."

"I know," Grandis replied as he made his move responding to Hayate's, breaking his way inside, her brow slightly contorted to that move by Grandis. "but tomorrow you'll be going on a mission. Even if you're with your knights, it's natural that I'd be worried. I’d hate it if you're not at your best because I drained you of all your energy tonight."

Hayate giggled, while Grandis's blank look invited wonders from her. He's probably the only one who can say that with a straight face and not realize the potential double meaning behind those words, before the game of chess they're playing.

Hehe innuendo is so much more fun...

Spoiler for Intervention:

"Xalinith Tamerlan."

"Yeah, that's me. Who're you?"

"Th'name's Erick von Long, son," smiled the older man, tipping his hat, letting the jingle of his guns speak for himself. Someone from Erusia, World 82, or Earth would recognise the jingle of the guns he was wearing; but Xalinith wasn't from those planets, and so looked at the gunslinger quizzically. "Y'don't know me, but I'm here to bring you back to Cranagan."

"What?"

"Son, you made a bad mistake last week," he said seriously. "You let your parents pull you offworld. You ran away when the Saint's Cradle rose and threatened the planet. You deserted instead of staying and doing your duty. Fighting. Son, you ran away like a coward. And I have no patience for cowards. Keep your hands away from your device and come with me quietly, and take yer licks like a man."

"And if I won't?"

"We can do this the easy way or the hard way, son. I'll say this: twitch the wrong way, and Sergeant Major Ivanovich will blow your head off - and you won't be the first mage he's killed."

"And even if you evade the Sergeant Major's shots, there's no way you can take on all of us and live," added a grimly amused man, his eyes hidden by black sunglasses. "I'm Alpha 10, and I would like to inform you that I lead the team that took down the great White Devil. So think very carefully about your chances against us."

What Alpha 10 left unsaid was that the only way he'd taken down the White Devil was in a poker match. But then, he was an experienced bluffer.

Unlike COD4, this was an actual mission vid, taken sometime in 2002 or so. Not quite as action packed as in COD4.

I've seen that vid my first thought was "Lulz Real life needs a new graphic cards it's res sucks!"

No, not quite. In combat, the hot blood actually rises and rises, along with his true spirit of men. In this situation, his hot blood was deminished by the repeated scenes of violence, the blood in the hallways, the destroyed RF6 HQ, the bleeding Subaru... and then seeing Sein and realising that she and Cinque were about to escape, that pretty much snapped him.

And yes, when Naomi finds out, drama of epic porportions.

Yup probably at least a 50 Melo-ton Drama bomb...

It would appear so. Of course, she's getting her day in the sun with Franz later on... though really, all the CCs are gonna pwn him.

I'm seriously thinking of writing a short where she kicks Pixy's ass just to give her some good press... Acutally that might be a neat little thing to include in the Hayate kidnapped scenario maybe she could get a tad emo about letting Hayate get caught and Pixy can rile her back up with some good old fashion full contact sparring so she can go out and kick kidnapper ass...

That actually is the sort of role the OFM is intended to fill, since O'Neill who's the big boss doesn't give a damn what Ground Forces think (then again, he also outranks Regius); their entire 13-year career is based on covert interventions. Well... covert is debatable...

I'd acutally intended that they were pretty much equal at least during StrikerS so Regius couldn't order him around, but he couldn't shove Regius around either. He of course didn't really give a shit what "fur face" thought mind so if he saw the slightest chance to do some good he'd screw him in an instant, but he still had to tread somewhat lightly.

Well, the OFM is rather special. They were established ostensibly as a special Enforcer unit, but they're really the closest thing TSAB has to black ops; think Delta Force before they went public. The OFM conducts covert interventions on Non-Administered worlds, which requires them to use conventional weaponry; among their objectives are preventing planets from nuking themselves the way one of their home planets, Sotoa, did, as well as hunting down corrupt TSAB officials. The OFM will attempt to bring said officials in quietly to face judgement, but their typical orders are "Bring them in dead." One of their missions that Kagerou wrote up was the CO, Erick von Long, assasinating a corrupt TSAB official who refused to come quietly; one of their more notable missions is the capture of former Lieutenant Colonel Vincenza Blueno, who was responsible for 5 blown missions and Jail escaping from Fate at least once. Notable in that she was wanted alive, not dead.

When assasinating corrupt TSAB officials or running a black op - O'Neill's policy is to cut out the cancer, not cure it - the OFM will use conventional weapons so as not to give any trace of their presence to the TSAB. They're black, hiding from both TSAB proper and foe, shielded by O'Neill's influence and Leti Lowran's way with paperwork, and by Lindy Harlaown's influence: Lindy helped to set them up, though O'Neill and Erick, who are friends with Lindy, have gone to great pains to present to her a more...posititve... spin on the OFM's activities. (Which is to say they've been lying to her. And O'Neill can distract her because TK is writing him and Lindy into a crack pairing...)

Yeah speaking of which that’s gonna go well if it gets out…

Lindy: Wait you’ve been bank rolling a bunch of assassins?
O’Neil: Well ‘assassins’ is a word loaded with so many negative connotations I prefer to think of them as ‘problem removal specialists’ also I wasn’t really bank rolling them Leti did all the accounting I handled ass covering…
Lindy: That’s wait-- she knew too?!
O’Neil: Well more like she knew, but didn’t want to really know.
Lindy: Who else knew?!
O’Neil: Well it might be quicker to list people that didn’t have some idea…
Lindy: I can’t believe this how could you not tell me about this?!
O’Neil: How indeed I mean you’re taking it so well…
Lindy: That’s it you’re sleeping on the couch tonight! *storms off*
O’Neil: Oh come on honey! Look from now on I’ll let you have a say in who they kill that’s better right!?
Lindy: Not listening!*slams the bedroom door*
O’Neil: I think she might be mad…

Its a balance issue that maybe noone cares much about, though. I think we already established that Raising Heart and Bardiche are probably the best devices around, too.

And yup, I know they were both made the same way by the same maker. I kept that in mind. Though its weird how the maker did not tweak Altair to better fit Almaria's fighting style...

It was. That's why it was made compact instead of a rifle to allow her maximum mobility. And there's a system there that allows Almaria's unique brainwave pattern to synch well qith Altair.

In any case, I say again, its just my point of view. I dont think making changes is needed, unless you actually feel like changes need to be made.

I was considering derringer. But let's see.

Indeed. Though maybe you can do some Nighty-style crack and bring her back...thanks to our resident genius, Jail Scaglietti...

Oh crap, crack is filling my head now... Almaria a Relic Weapon and friends with my OCs...

Thank you for the plan. But no.
There wasn't anything left of her body when she was killed.

Ah, crap. I'm getting depressed again.

One thing: would a shooting attack that can "strike through" other magical damage attacks like SB and DB be too over the top?

Uh, exactly what do you mean by "strike through"? If you meant that an attack is capable of overpowering another attack and burst through it, then it is quite possible if there is a distinction between the strength of the attacks. Comparably, Trident Smasher and Divine Buster are almost equal in strength, so it gives little chance of "striking through". Between Divine Buster and Plasma Lancer, though, it is possible (that is, considering Plasma Lancer wins in terms of number of attacks, not attack strength).

Still, writers commonly use "same-strength" attacks between characters, because it is assumed that mages do have a knowledge of what are the appropriate counters for certain types of attacks. For example, a bombardment type is often countered with a bombardment type, with little possibility of "striking through".

That is what I think, anyway.

Spoiler for Xalinth Tamerlan Appearance and Persona:

A juvenile looking, "scruffy" young man, tall and lean at 6'1, 175 pounds. He usually wears all white uniforms, with black shoes and buttons. He has short blonde hair, green eyes, and a small dusting of facial hair.

His Barrier Jacket consists of a white "breastplate" with red and black Belka cross on the shoulders, black gauntlets, a black belt on white pants, and black shoes.

Even though he tends to look "serious", in reality, he has a very playful side to him. He has no shame about partying and having fun, is very confident (sometimes to a fault) with the ladies, and is sometimes a troublemaker when he's not actually doing something important. He is known in his unit for being able to hold his drink like a man twice his age (which got him in the good graces of O'Neill immediately, though those good graces are tested with his occasional antics).

At the same time, when something is happening, he is always the first to take up his weapon and head to the battle, he will mix it up in the front lines despite that not being his skill, and he has a way of finding weaknesses in opposing sides and attempting to exploit them. He is very idealistic, despite his sometimes frivolous appearance, and that was part of the reason while he took to Belka ideals - he considers himself a knight at heart, with all that entails.

Nothing too bad for background, though for someone of his explosive attitude, his commanding officer would be expected to issue a restraining order to keep him in line?

Essentially the same sort of move as Flier Fin, etc, it produces a quick burst of speed to supplement the speed he already has.

Lichtenpfeil (Light Arrow)

Power: AAA
Speed: AAA
Range: AA
Accuracy: A
Casting Speed: AA
Using his device, a single magical shot is fired.

Blendenlichtpfeil (Blinding Light Arrow)- This spell sacrifices power to increase range, accuracy, and speed.

Power: AA
Speed: S
Range: AA
Accuracy: AA
Casting Speed: AA

Aufflammenlichtpfiel (Blazing Light Arrow) This sacrifices range, and speed to increase power.

Power: S
Speed: AA
Range: A
Accuracy: A
Casting Speed: AA

Glänzender Angriff (Meteoric Assault) - A bombardment attack that loads a large amount of energy into the device (requires a cartridge load), fires into the sky, and the energy bombards everything in a 150-250m radius.

Power: S (in terms of total output, not per shot)
Speed: AA
Range: AA
Accuracy: N/A
Casting Speed: B
Area of Effect: B


Rustenbruch (Armor Breaker) - a shot specificially designed to break the barrier magic of an opponent. Does not do physical damage.

Power: N/A
Speed: AA
Range: AAA
Accuracy: AA
Casting Speed: AA
AOE: N/A

Dreiäugigerengelform (Three-Eyed Angel Form)

Weisenfangkreuz's Full Drive Mode - Xalinth transforms into an angelic creature with a third eye in his forehead. This increases his ranged accuracy and power, as well as his defensive abilities. However, this consumes a great deal of mana, and strains his Linker Core greatly. As such, he prefers not to use this form except in emergencies.

Power: N/A
Speed: N/A
Range: N/A
Accuracy: N/A
Casting Speed N/A
AOE: N/A

It seems that by sacrificing one mere rank in power, Blendenlichtpfeil gains quite a powerful increase in speed and accuracy. While it doesn't seem much, an S-ranked speed attack sounds like it travels at Sonic Move speed (give or take a little), and with AA accuracy, quite impossible to evade. A nerf, perhaps?

And with Glänzender Angriff, the description seems to say that Xalinth is only firing one shot each time, not several, and each of those shots gives an S-ranked damage output? Is that a different version of Hraesvelgr I see? A quarter kilometer is quite big, to say the least.

Spoiler for Xalinth Tamerlan Background:

Xalinth Tamerlan was born to a rich Midchildan family who had great influence in politics and policy. As a child, he adored his older brother, Paulus Tamerlan, who was a member of the TSAB Spec-Ops unit, and from that adoration, was born an intense interest in the TSAB and warfare in general. He was fascinated with the military, both due to his upbringing and his natural interest. He read about magical theory, military strategy, and idolized the great mages of the Bureau forces - Nanoha, Hayate, Fate and so forth - not only for their ability, but for the fact that they were not much older than he was. He believed in his heart that he could be as good if not better than them.

He had early magical training, starting at the age of six. He was far ahead of the curve for his youth, and it was apparent that he was a child with a great deal of magical potential.

Because of his latent magical talent, and because of his training, he was already an AAA class mage, and ended up joining the TSAB as a trainee at age 10.

Due to the fact that his family thought highly of the newly rediscovered Belka magic, he was encouraged to study that style rather than the Mid-style his brother specialized in.

Because of friendly donations by his family to the Saint Church, he was able to get some of the best Belka training available, from high ranking Ancient Velka practitioners like Hayate and Carim, and received the gift of Weisenfangkreuz from K. A. Testarossa, another elite Belka mage.

He was diligent, nearly obsessive in his training, training 6-8 hours a day, either in mock battles, physical training, or book study. He even became an apprentice in the Infinite Library under Yuuno Scrya in order to glean more knowledge about history.

He first saw action at the age of thirteen, in a short campaign to put down a distant rebellion. This rebellion was Tamerlan's first combat experience, both in real combat and in the command of troops. He performed admirably, after initial failure (to which he attributes the unlocking of his Full Drive form) and received a promotion. However, he was not involved in the StrikerS campaign a year later, as he was evacuated from Midchilda by his family during the Cradle incident (despite his personal objections - he wanted to fight with Sector 6.)

He took the S-rank exam at 16, and passed, and with that, he asked to be assigned to the new TSAB Armored Division. He served mostly in tactics and logistics, and has not seen real action since.

Quite possibly, a prodigy in everything: battle, philosophy, sciences, magic, wealth, and prowess.

And evacuation from Mid-childa during the Cradle incident? Where did he go? Was it considered an abandonment of duty?

Spoiler for Xalinth Tamerlan Ratings:

Strengths: Exceptional ranged attacker. Great versatility and range. Very intelligent and cerebral mage, who is very precise in the way he consumes his magic; therefore, he can fight for a long time. Excellent at taking out opposing individual personnel. His ability to break defensive barriers with a single shot is very rare among mages and is incredibly useful as a support option. Can evade enemy fire with ease with his quickness and evasion. Can increase his power greatly with Dreiäugigerengelform.

Weaknesses:

Mediocre melee fighter. Will mix it up because of his personality, but struggles in that area. Can at least block and parry, and knock enemies away to create distance for his arrows. Doesn't emphasize defense - he can take a hit sort of, but does not like to take any sort of attack head-on, prefering to dodge and weave. Is almost useless in support.

Attack Stats:
Melee: C
Range: S
Wide-Area: D

Defense Stats:
Speed: AAA
Physical Defense: B
Magical Defense: B

Support Stats:
Barrier Magic: F
Healing Magic: F
Binding Magic: F

[/QUOTE]

These stats, while inaccurate, does give us a hint of how you view Xalinth to be. He seems to be some overly-buffed archer with great evasive capabilities. Since the spell list contains nothing resembling a "defensive" spell (with the exception of Dreiäugigerengelform), where does his B-ranked magic and physical defenses come from?

BUT!

I'm only looking for those that were not created recently like Keroko's rogues. To be more exact, I want those that are already in the system and not put together in the "last moment" by a single character.

aka, NO RF6.

State their:

1. Designation
2. Function/Speciality/Responsibility
3. Affiliation (Ground, Air, Naval, others...)
4. Authority/Jurisdiction
5. Estimated manpower size
6. Equipment (If any, this includes vehicles.)

Beforehand, when are you basing your timeline? If it's post-StrikerS, I can give a bit of information about the Investigation Corps that Leona is in.

No, the General doesn't feel too good there, but she's determined to make up for it.

Liingo: You should have asked Tesla for help, Signum!
Signum: Huh, do I know you? I don't think I've seen you anywhere in GuardianS before ...
Liingo: I am the one who sends the anonymous divine punishment of justice.

I'm trying to figure out why the hell Chrono is silent on this matter as well... THIS IS CRUCIAL INFORMATION!!!!!!!!!

Leona does provide information as much as possible to the crew, with detailed explanation of their skills and abilities and other related things that are necessary to be known so that they are better prepared against them in the future.

What she (and Chrono) hides are their origins, as well as how they came to know about it. These things are considered "classified information" by the High Command.

Originally Posted by Chaos2Frozen

Paramilitary supposedly means a group of people that acts like or functions to aid another military group. For example, paramedics are considered a group of medical officers/personnel that are not part of the main medical unit, but gives aid anyway, either voluntarily or privately funded. Of course, different countries have different definitions of the word.

For things like this, TK is your salvation.

Aurion will basically try to "spy" on Leona, while with Chrono tries to "steal information". Though, the first part will become the basis towards Leona becoming Aurion's fourth niece.

But then, we can rectify that here in Outer Cadia, right?

We are here to give Hayate her rightful unshafting!

Curiosity burning.

Post-mission heart-to-heart talk between Signum, Tesla, and Hayate, and the reason for Signum's renewed determination.

For Aurion and Tesla, they are attempting to "dissect" Leona. Tesla is an exceptional observant, even if she does not look like it.

Still, if only I could extend Vivio's time of death past your timeline for DestinyS (if I remember correctly), I could include a Leona x Hayate x Nanoha x Fate x Vivio part. What say you?

Not bothering to lift her head, Hayate smiled as she proceeded to continue with what she was doing then, completely concentrating at her task on hand while replying, " Of course, it's not like we haven't done this a million times already."

"I know," Grandis replied as he made his move responding to Hayate's, breaking his way inside, her brow slightly contorted to that move by Grandis. "but tomorrow you'll be going on a mission. Even if you're with your knights, it's natural that I'd be worried. I’d hate it if you're not at your best because I drained you of all your energy tonight."

Hayate giggled, while Grandis's blank look invited wonders from her. He's probably the only one who can say that with a straight face and not realize the potential double meaning behind those words, before the game of chess they're playing.

A short crack is a big one indeed!

Spoiler for The thing about Michildan Drool:

"Thanks doctor..." Kyla thanked the doctor as he provided space for Kyla. "Okay Nakajima... open wide." She then spoke, pointing a rubber-gloved pointer.

Subaru could only follow the Admiral's advice, opening her mouth wide. And suddenly, the admiral placed her pointer finger into her mouth and began to swap the inside of her mouth, coating the finger with saliva.

"Hey, what was that for?" Subaru could only ask as the Admiral took out the finger and swabbed a slide with it.

"Just some tests... I'll be back with something later."

And so Kyla left the privacy of that curtained section and went to the adjacent section, where Ashton was waiting for the doctor for his own examination. And as quick as lightning, Kyla stuck the drool-soaked pointer into Ashton's mouth.

"Don't complain..." She quickly spoke and removed the finger and the glove, replacing the spent rubber on the hand with a new glove.

"What was that for 'mam?" he asked.

"Just a new syrup composition that i was trying with less sugar." Kyla quickly replied, hiding the fact that she just did a mortal sin to hygienics. "So, how does it taste?"

"It's... sweet... sweeter than Earth Honey... It's the sweetest thing i ever tasted..."

"Why thank you. And yes, open wide as well- i need to take some samples..."

Ashton could only comply, doing the same thing she had done with Subaru. And so she left, with her pointer now coated with Ashton's drool. She again went inside Subaru's section.

"Nakajima, taste this..." Kyla offered the soaked gloved pointer. "Just a new syrup composition that i was trying with less sugar."

Subaru could only comply, but there was no reaction.

"Well? did you taste anything?"

Subaru was silent.

"Oh well... back to the kitchen." the admiral could only sigh.

But as soon as she left, a mild tinge of red swept by Subaru's face.

"Sweet... too sweet..."

Three days later, Both Subaru and Ashton fall to fever.

Kyla: I should have known, they're withdrawing...

Kyla: now... *dons rubber gloves* who shall i subject to the examination?

Nazo no Kanojo X is so...

Different Random Solider: I couldn't tell you!
Commanding officer: Why the fuck not?!
Different Random Solider: Well... He made me pinky swear what kind of person would I be if I broke that?!
Commanding officer: I'm surrounded by idiots... Indeed kicking ass demands firm up body support can't have those things bouncing all over when your trying to do acrobatics!

More Hypothetical Military Unit please.

No damn Microsoft and the accursed Red Ring of Death and taking two fucking months to fix it!

I've been extremely lucky not to have gotten that yet...though there is also the fact that I have not used it for a few months already. I hope its still alive for when I get Mass Effect.

Yeah speaking of which that’s gonna go well if it gets out…

Lindy: Wait you’ve been bank rolling a bunch of assassins?
O’Neil: Well ‘assassins’ is a word loaded with so many negative connotations I prefer to think of them as ‘problem removal specialists’ also I wasn’t really bank rolling them Leti did all the accounting I handled ass covering…
Lindy: That’s wait-- she knew too?!
O’Neil: Well more like she knew, but didn’t want to really know.
Lindy: Who else knew?!
O’Neil: Well it might be quicker to list people that didn’t have some idea…
Lindy: I can’t believe this how could you not tell me about this?!
O’Neil: How indeed I mean you’re taking it so well…
Lindy: That’s it you’re sleeping on the couch tonight! *storms off*
O’Neil: Oh come on honey! Look from now on I’ll let you have a say in who they kill that’s better right!?
Lindy: Not listening!*slams the bedroom door*
O’Neil: I think she might be mad…

So in other words, I guess our CC protagonists are the most naive bunch out of the entire TSAB. With the sole exception of Chrono maybe?

Similar to Cross Mirage then, I guess?

Thank you for the plan. But no.
There wasn't anything left of her body when she was killed.

Ah, crap. I'm getting depressed again.

The drama level would have broken space-time continuum... Not having a body is not an obstacle though, I'm sure.

I kinda regret not fully fleshing out the CSDB when I had the time... but anyway here are the stats that I have.

1. Central Science & Development Bureau (Pre-existing and actually part of canon as Precia Testarossa was the third director of the CSDB as of MCY 39, MSLN ep10 5:42 - 5:47)
2. Main research facility of of the TSAB, specializing in R&D, Lost Logia research, alternate magical styles, A.I research, spell/device integration, spell creation etc.
3. Affiliation to the Head office of the TSAB
4. Jurisdiction over other research laboratories affiliated with the TSAB.
5. Estimated manpower size is around 754 people give and take a few
6. Way too diverse and too many to list

Number 6 is a major problem as proper stock checking has not been done for about 10 years. I think I need a few months to sort out and categorize all the stuff that's lying around.

PS. If any of my stuff affects anyone else's please inform me.
PPS. C2F are you looking for OC or CC TSAB departments? If you're looking for OC departments that are really old, I don't think anyone has anything greater than 30 years.

6. several Warthog LRV, one Warthog LAAV, several DS-77 Pelican dropships (can be outfitted as troop transports/gunships), one SOPMOD Tempest-class Light Destroyer Aus'ruf.
7. Began operations in MC0062, 13 years before StrikerS. 5 years before StrikerS, key members Erick von Long, Glen Schatennmann, Emili Nailo and Franz Jaeger met the Aces and began a first-akward, then comfortable friendship.


Tempest-class Light Destroyer:

Spoiler for The Tempest:

http://mallacore.deviantart.com/art/...Final-68785826
http://mallacore.deviantart.com/art/...art-5-68422601

A class of Light Destroyer used by the Space Navy of Administered World 82, where General Jack O'Neill, head of Special Ops, hails from. Tempest is a small, fast, highly manuverable and reasonably-armed warship, capable of fighting its way through enemy destroyers, and has a decent chance of taking out enemy cruisers in the hands of a skilled Captain.

Aus'ruf is not a Tempest.

Aus'ruf is a Special Operations Peculiar Modification variant of the standard Tempest, which basically means that it's been nerfed in terms of weaponry and optimised for deploying spec ops teams and stealth & electronic warfare. The 16 fore missile tubes have had all but 4 missiles removed to make way for reconnaisance platforms and EW drones, which are deployed from the tubes and travel through space as stealthed surveillance platforms. The gun armament remains, though magazine storage has been reduced in favor of more spares and supplies for extended operations. The Aus'ruf also sports better ECM shielding, cloaking, and ELINT gear, allowing it to eavesdrop and conduct information warfare, though most of its abilities are employed passively so as not to give detection.

The Aus'ruf is of a different design from standard TSAB ships so as to provide plausible deniability.

Among her crew, the Aus'ruf is jokingly referred to as the Bus to Hell.

For more details on the OFM, please see below. Far below. But the summed up points: They're TSAB black ops. They hunt corrupt TSAB officials and deserters and traitors. They conduct covert interventions on Non-Administered Worlds. They use conventional weapons to blend in. The Assault Platoon, the 10-man groundpounder team, use Halo ODST armor and Halo guns. And their Sergeant Major Ivanovich, NCO In Charge, is Halo's Johnson modded to fit this world.

(As for a 10-man team called a platoon, a Navy SEAL platoon consists of 8-12 men.)

...yeah that pretty much sums it up.

Sorry, not quite cutting it. What's so special about him that Fate gives him a Device? Unless you mean that she presents his device to him after graduation, the way Erick presents Devices to the members of the OFM as he welcomes them into the Order... also, he's a bit too much of a Gary Stu. *shakes head* And what is so special about him that he's evacuated instead of staying to fight? *shakes head* If you continue in that vein, this is gonna happen:

Spoiler for Intervention:

"Xalinith Tamerlan."

"Yeah, that's me. Who're you?"

"Th'name's Erick von Long, son," smiled the older man, tipping his hat, letting the jingle of his guns speak for himself. Someone from Erusia, World 82, or Earth would recognise the jingle of the guns he was wearing; but Xalinith wasn't from those planets, and so looked at the gunslinger quizzically. "Y'don't know me, but I'm here to bring you back to Cranagan."

"What?"

"Son, you made a bad mistake last week," he said seriously. "You let your parents pull you offworld. You ran away when the Saint's Cradle rose and threatened the planet. You deserted instead of staying and doing your duty. Fighting. Son, you ran away like a coward. And I have no patience for cowards. Keep your hands away from your device and come with me quietly, and take yer licks like a man."

"And if I won't?"

"We can do this the easy way or the hard way, son. I'll say this: twitch the wrong way, and Sergeant Major Ivanovich will blow your head off - and you won't be the first mage he's killed."

"And even if you evade the Sergeant Major's shots, there's no way you can take on all of us and live," added a grimly amused man, his eyes hidden by black sunglasses. "I'm Alpha 10, and I would like to inform you that I lead the team that took down the great White Devil. So think very carefully about your chances against us."

What Alpha 10 left unsaid was that the only way he'd taken down the White Devil was in a poker match. But then, he was an experienced bluffer.

He could always go by the I Know You're In There Somewhere Fight Rule.

Yes, but then this would happen:

Emili: "YOU PERVERT! DIE! EMILI KICKU!
[345x HIT COMBO]
Franz: "Arrrgggggh...."
Naomi: "BAKA HENTAI! NAOMI KICKU!"
[CHAIN COMBO!]
Emili: "Back for more? TAKE THIS! EMILI KICKU, GEAR SECOND!"
[750x HIT COMBO]

"Curses, pwnt again."

[Melodius Trueheart]

Well, I redid the backstory a little, did some tweaking, explained the circumstances of his first combat.

It seems that by sacrificing one mere rank in power, Blendenlichtpfeil gains quite a powerful increase in speed and accuracy. While it doesn't seem much, an S-ranked speed attack sounds like it travels at Sonic Move speed (give or take a little), and with AA accuracy, quite impossible to evade. A nerf, perhaps?

And with Glänzender Angriff, the description seems to say that Xalinth is only firing one shot each time, not several, and each of those shots gives an S-ranked damage output? Is that a different version of Hraesvelgr I see? A quarter kilometer is quite big, to say the least.

1 rank decrease in power for 1 rank increase in speed and accuracy...I thought that's what I had?

And I might have to clarify that. It's NOT S-ranked output per shot; its's S-Ranked output total. Per shot, it would be something like A rank if not lower, taking into account that most of the shots will *miss*. They're not targeted at all. As for range, it merely represents the possible radius the shots can fall within.

Also, it's multiple shots at once (between 20-40)

Spoiler for Redo:

Xalinth Tamerlan was born to a rich Midchildan family who had great influence in politics and policy. As a child, he adored his older brother, Paulus Tamerlan, who was a member of the TSAB Spec-Ops unit, and from that adoration, was born an intense interest in the TSAB and warfare in general. He was fascinated with the military, both due to his upbringing and his natural interest. He read about magical theory, military strategy, and idolized the great mages of the Bureau forces - Nanoha, Hayate, Fate and so forth - not only for their ability, but for the fact that they were not much older than he was. He believed in his heart that he could be as good if not better than them.

He had early magical training, starting at the age of six. He was far ahead of the curve for his youth, and it was apparent that he was a child with a great deal of magical potential.

Because of his latent magical talent, and because of his training, he was already an AAA class mage, and ended up joining the TSAB as a trainee at age 10.

Due to the fact that his family thought highly of the newly rediscovered Belka magic, he was encouraged to study that style rather than the Mid-style his brother specialized in.

Once in the TSAB, he proved himself capable. However, his instructors worried that he was getting by more on his impressive talent than his diligence - while he did what he needed to do to advance, he was not going the extra mile in the name of improvement.

He first saw action at the age of thirteen, in a short campaign to put down a distant rebellion. This rebellion was Tamerlan's first combat experience, both in real combat and in the command of troops.

It sounded like a great opportunity for a young mage to prove himself. But in reality, he was being sent to that world to die.

Certain elements in the TSAB high command, who were aligned with families opposed to the Tamerlans, decided that he needed to be disposed of.

He struggled initally. His age and inexperience did not help in terms of winning the respect of his troop, and the combatants he faced were in reality better than expected in terms of both strength and organization. He often looked lost and confused, and made many tactical errors. In desperation, he charged into the thick of the enemy troops himself, and was grievously wounded in battle. It was at this point that he realized (in his own words) that he had not "taken seriously the art of war, he was still blind". And then "my eyes truly opened". At this point, according to him, Dreiäugige Engelsform activated.

While he did not utterly destroy his enemy, his increased combat skills, as well as his new sense of poise started to win the confidence of his troops, and they began to turn the tide.

As the details of *why* he was fighting on that world began to spread, the TSAB knew that if it got out that young mages were being sent to distant worlds without possibility of reinforcement because of political arrangments, its image would suffer...to say the least.

Reinforcements were dispatched, the remnants of the rebellion were put down, and the matter was hushed up as much as possible. Xalinth received a promotion and was assigned to the Armored Forces.

He also served in the StrikerS campaign, though not at the main epicenter of the fighting. He was involved mostly in preventing the gadget drones from overwhelming the defense forces engaging the Cradle directly.

At the age of 16, he took and passed the S rank exam after 4 attempts.

At this time, he serves in the Armored Forces, but is reportedly considering a transfer, but is unsure of to where.

A note: I don't like Yunno X Nanoha because to be it would be putting them together for coupling's sake; almost all their canon interaction has been platonic at best, and Nanoha has literally seen him much of the time as a *pet*. The whole ferret thing just gives me that impression.

Lindy: Wait you’ve been bank rolling a bunch of assassins?
O’Neil: Well ‘assassins’ is a word loaded with so many negative connotations I prefer to think of them as ‘problem removal specialists’ also I wasn’t really bank rolling them Leti did all the accounting I handled ass covering…

Lindy: *places call to Leti* Hello? Yeah, let's call that off...I used the "omg you fund assassins??!!!" act to get out of sex with him and once he finds out I knew the whole time..."

Just be happy that the thread slowed down over the weekend..
Actually you'd be surprised.... Consdiering canon has portrayed her as some one that's virtually useless in the more common scenarios..

*runs from the Hayate fanboys*

No need to run from me fore stating the truth, also given that the guy in question met her by kidnapping her he'd know the hazard all too well...

I'm already on her list of "I'm not very happy with people" due to the smack down that she received in my last chapter... Let's hope that she doesn't find out that I was one of the ones that get's her into this verbal assualt next chapter..

I don't care I’d tell her right to her face to stop acting stupid and just stomp these idiots knights are supposed to win battles for their lords not engage in ridiculous duels!

The snippet looks good.... although with holding crucial information like this is going to get her blasted by TK...... Actually me as well... Yes it is a vow, but this is one vow that if kept has the potential to be absolutely devastating..

I'm trying to figure out why the hell Chrono is silent on this matter as well... THIS IS CRUCIAL INFORMATION!!!!!!!!!

Yep.

For things like this, TK is your salvation.

Not really, paramilitary effectively means “military like” without obviously acutally being the military. It’s often used for highly structured terrorist groups and such, but it’s also applied to things like police which are said to use a “paramilitary” rank structure and such. Basically it’s a force or unit that behaves in a military manner, but isn’t acutally part of a recognized military force or held in the same status, that said the term is somewhat subjective.

Which is pretty much just what I meant to begin with in slightly different wording, though I still think the protection from any feild that might exist is probably weak as piss.

Then I guess the different is that the field is still worth something for me.

Now I’m gonna need a spell list for him too… and only a few weeks left of school all sorts of shit piling up needing to be done, le sigh. Unless you just let me write the fight, might save you some work too you'd have to approve it of course and give me some set up.

Naive Aaron is still naive, ever heard of Cohabitation?

But you had plans for crack marriage so I thought-

IN Aurion's case, if you take them by category...

Fave Ace = Hayate, obviously.
Fave Wolkie = Tesla. His partner in crime in some instances
Fave Striker = Teana, mainly due to their similar styles.

He tends to have better and more insightful interactions with them.

I have no part in drawing up the Signum's battle against Grandis, though I'm surely pushing for her to be at least a worthy foe for him.

Signum in Unison is stronger than Grandis already.

I'm giving a lot of space for Aaron to develop the first interaction, the second will be mostly reminiscences of the past.

Need some time...

Leona does provide information as much as possible to the crew, with detailed explanation of their skills and abilities and other related things that are necessary to be known so that they are better prepared against them in the future.

What she (and Chrono) hides are their origins, as well as how they came to know about it. These things are considered "classified information" by the High Command.

I see.

Aurion will basically try to "spy" on Leona, while with Chrono tries to "steal information". Though, the first part will become the basis towards Leona becoming Aurion's fourth niece.

Approved!

We are here to give Hayate her rightful unshafting!

Damn straight!

Post-mission heart-to-heart talk between Signum, Tesla, and Hayate, and the reason for Signum's renewed determination.

Goodie.

For Aurion and Tesla, they are attempting to "dissect" Leona. Tesla is an exceptional observant, even if she does not look like it.

Yes, if Aurion should need assistance in his machinations, Tesla is the girl to go to. I plan to show just how much they trust each other in the Hayate gets kidnapped arc.

Still, if only I could extend Vivio's time of death past your timeline for DestinyS (if I remember correctly), I could include a Leona x Hayate x Nanoha x Fate x Vivio part. What say you?

So Vivio's dead in GuardianS?!:

Quite.

The drama would have broken space-time continuum... Not having a body is not an obstacle though, I'm sure.

What are you planning? Anyway, do not want.

Quite.

Good choice, but I gotta say I like how the current Altair looks.

Not planning anything, actually. I have my hands full already with the arcs I am developing. Just giving you crack ideas. Not to mention that Almaria would have gotten along quite well with Gwen.

Oh, as for the part about not needing the body, I was not thinking about Almaria here... just saying that maybe it is possible to clone a person without having his or her entire body... Dunno how that would work, though.

Speaking of which, I've been working on an OC of mine for Vivio too. She is meant for the fourth season, if any will come at all. This is still in the Alpha phase, so it can and will be subject to many changes. Not to mention it still lacks lots of data because I still haven't thought it up.

Spoiler for Syn Virage:

Name: Syn Virage
Mage rank: C
Age: 7
Gender: Female
Magic type: Belkan
Magic colour: Red
Hair color: Blue
Eye color: heterochromia, her right eye is red, while her left eye -covered with an eyepatch- is blue.
Hair style: short, tied into a ponytail with a black ribbon.

Apearance:

Personality: Blunt, sharp with the tongue and a smartass to boot. The terror of teachers, you could say. Syn can be extremely annoying at times, driving people up the walls with smart remarks. Smartass she may be, though, she is not stupid. Most of the times when she is in one of her moods, she will drive to the edge, but never over it. If she is not in one of her moods –which must be said, is more often the case-, you will find that while she may poke fun at other people’s expense, she doesn’t mean it in a harmful way. When encountering Syn on one of her more calm moods, she is easy to get along with, albeit a bit stubborn.

Syn if often willing to help if you ask it, and she finds it enjoyable to simply have a nice conversation to pass the time. She can get very defensive on subjects and locking horns with her in an argument means spending time getting through her stubbornness, as she tries to keep an open mind, but at times fails completely. She also has a habit of losing focus if a task at hand doesn’t hold her interest, which result in her usually finishing everything frantically at the last time. Miraculously, Syn rarely misses deadlines.

Often Syn is asked to settle debates or arguments, as her strong presence –and rather loud voice- often make sure people keep quiet and allow Syn to help resolve their problems. Syn is not easy to anger, as she usually outsmarts anyone trying to anger her, but if you do manage to step on her toes, prepare for a verbal beating that will last you.

Background: Syn is a Mid-Childan born girl, currently a student in a magic school run by the Saint Church. Her parents being high-ranking officers in the navy, the talent for magic was quickly discovered and a career in the TSAB seems almost assured. However, when it came to picking a school, Syn was more interested in going to the far calmer school run by the Saint Church. Her parents agreed easily, possibly because they realized schools run, or otherwise funded by the TSAB may show favoritism.

When in the class, Syn felt isolated. With her mother being an Admiral in the navy, and her father a Vice-Admiral, she was treated with a certain amount of respect, awe, and unfortunately distance from her fellow classmates. This is probably why she quickly made friends with Vivio, whose mother was the even more famous Takamachi Nanoha. The two felt a shared connection between each other, and quickly they would work, eat and hang out together.

The two friends share more then they initially knew. Like Vivio had her connection to the Cradle incident that she was not allowed, nor willing, to tell, Syn is not without secrets herself, her left eye has been covered with an eyepatch for as long as anyone who knows her can remember, and yet when asked Syn always says that her left eye is fine, and that she only wears the patch because it looks cool. Vivio is among the few who know that the real reason Syn wears the eyepatch is because she too has a double eye color. Already being saddled with the title inherited by her parents, Syn did not want to be labeled for her eye-color as well.

Also, Keroko was assigned by the TSAB itself to see if she could train this unit propperly, so it was hardly a single character idea. The only thing Keroko did was give them a kick in the rear and bring them up to snuff (something which took her a few months as well).

Granted, they haven't been around for more then one decade, but they're not a 'new' unit either, and certainly not a last moment unit. To compare them with RF6 is an insult.

OC...timeline...so...confusing...

*runs from drool flood*

No that I'm against some occasional fanservice, but it just doesn't seem to fit Signum's style . She was more about power and technique rather than speed. Plus giving her...assets more freedom in a high-speed form would not be a good thing . If you look at fate's Sonic Form, her Barrier Jacket is always form-fitting and tight rather than loose.

Just wondering, cos I'm forgetting things now... What's Shamsel's alignment again? Her faction and magic style?

Um, alignment would be good (gonna have more development on that once his Berserker form is revealed ) and uses Wind-type Mid-Childa magic. The link to his profile is on the first page if you want to double-check some stuff. Not too sure what you mean by faction, but I put Shamsel as a member of Rogue Squadron for now. Oh, and Shamsel's a guy...

Shamsel: 'HER'?!
