A precharge means even more effort holding it together then and striking at the core through the BJ means overcoming the many physical and magical layers of protection. Best for him to get some advice from the Leizes since they did it bare-handed anyway. And since Durandal is already a super storage device, maybe some upgrades to crank up his spell processing power?

For Kha:
Spoiler for 5 Years after StS:
- This might be the time that AltS II happens, so this will be a good time to pin some things.
Kyla: Now a Member of the now ruling TSAB Middle Council. For four years straight, she has been elected as the 'Head' of the Bureau- Making her unable to do her usual patrols. Her Objectives are for the total revision of Bureau Command Structure, Methods and Procedures- essentially a total restructuring of the Bureau.
Minerva: Now Assigned as the XO of the Silvana, with her husband Vincent as CO- Kyla being the XCO when she boards. The ship though rarely goes anywhere except around Central's planet, Royal Midea and the Space Base. Lately, it has been stuck in drydock, extensive refits being undertaken, since rumor has it that it became the flagship of the bureau.
Chacha: Currently in Earl, Serving her tenure as the 'Sixth Pillar'.
Ashton: Currently assigned by Kyla to another Rescue unit, basically He was assigned to Subaru's division but serves in another squad- the irony is that they are not still managing to meet. (It's almost time ne?)
Rurika: Assigned to an investigative unit under Kyla's suggestion.
CC: Still in Space Central Control, doing her thing. She now has a Daughter though.
Kanala: Said CC's daughter is in Ground Central Once again, doing her thing as well.
Night: Said Princess is ready to go to a higher educational facility, College or Bureau, she is still deciding. And before that, She has to be crowned Queen of Midea- becoming the second most powerful person in Ordered Space (after the Bureau head, or heads/brains if pre StS)- the one who takes care of non-Bureau legislation, like tax. Invitations to the coronation are now being handed out.
Two New AX members are to be introduced as well.
Kirika and Kuji are still in Windland...
Kuji: It was an accident!!!
Precia: Oh shut up!!! Glow Lance!!!
Kirika: *smacks palm on head*

I dunno. I don't use the WoW system either, but the d20 D&D system. Me and LimitedEternal are working on a system of sorts so we can duel our characters on the forum.
You've got a problem there. According to Artei's profile, he's 20 at the time of StrikerS. Teana is decidedly NOT 10.
Just thought I'd let you know.
Ah kk I'll update it. I remembered him to be 26 in StrikerS, so might've made a mental change without noticing .

Okay, first thing - a little primer on Dunamist genetics:
Spoiler for How Dunamists Work:
As LegendS will reveal, being a Dunamist is genetic in nature.
However, in order for the Dunamist ability to fully manifest, three things are required:
1 - A Linker Core. Duh.
2 - The actual Dunamist gene, which is found on the X chromosome in humans, and only surfaces in instances of heterozygosity. Translation: A woman whose X chromosomes BOTH possess the Dunamist gene would NOT manifest the power.
3 - This is the most important, and will be the piece of the puzzle that evades the heroes until near the end of the story - a specific autosomal (chromosomes that do not determine gender) mutation must occur in order for the Dunamist gene to fully express itself.
Example: Let's take Arcas and Aurion Dauer.
Both possess Linker Cores, and as Yuuno's analysis will discover, both carry the Dunamist gene. However, only Arcas has the required autosomal mutation that allows him to the Dunamist ability of spell-copying.
What does this mean for Arcas' & Mel's kids?
1) Any daughters that Arcas has, who has a Linker Core, will be a Dunamist, because Mel does NOT have the gene.
2) Any sons that Arcas has will NOT be Dunamists, but normal mages.
Okay, next, the update for Kha on what's happened with the 82nd in the 5 years after StrikerS.
Spoiler for 82nd Update:
Honestly, much won't have changed since the end of my last planned fic, WizardS.
Arcas: Has been promoted to Captain. Married Mel 3 years post-StrikerS. Gained galaxywide recognition in one of three incarnations: the "Dragonslayer," Bane of Evil; the "Lord of Dunamists," first and greatest; and as one-half of the "Knight Lovers," they who bring about miracles.
Mel: Promoted to Lt. Commander. Married to Arcas. Also has gained galaxywide recognition as either: "The Lady of Hope," she who brings light to all; or as the OTHER half of the "Knight Lovers."
Boomer: Promoted to Commander. Still unattached. Gained fame as the "Arm of God," who strikes the enemy unseen.
Sevasti: Promoted to Lt. Colonel. Shows no sign of leaving bachelorhood. Being almost 40, is under great pressure from Diplomacy Corps to leave frontline duty and work elsewhere within the RAF. Famed as the "Supreme Archer," whose arrows never miss.
Other changes:
Two Dunamists, who will be introduced in LegendS, will have joined by this time.
One is Setsuna Karasuma, who's served with the 82nd ever since the end of the Dunamist Affair (aka LegendS). Currently ranked as 1st Lt.
The other is Jean-Jacques d'Arc, who only managed to be assigned to the 82nd starting 3 months previous to this - and THAT was only because after the disbanding of Mobile Division 6 (which he joins @ the end of LegendS), he made an enormous nuisance of himself anywhere he went, until the TSAB agreed to assign him to the 82nd. Currently ranked as Sergeant Major.
I'll have both of their full profiles to you within 48 hours.
That's all for now.

Would that be like... Nanoha firing off Starlight Breaker with each shot?
Not really. I'm going along the lines of smaller and less-powerful versions of Dieci's 'Heavy Barrel' S-rank shots.

Aurion:
Definitely not. That won't destroy Reishiki. The most it would do is damage a few components. Reishiki is very, VERY sturdy!

Though if the shots from the rifle are concentrated into compact projectile forms, that's going to be very powerful with all that power packed into a small and efficient payload.
Like I said, I'm planning on smaller versions of Dieci's shots. Or even as powerful when more energy and more charging is used... Let's say that it can fire only six shots per one occasion, then it would go like this...
AAA rank energy bullet damage = 6 shots
S rank energy bullet damage = 3 shots
SS rank energy bullet damage = 1 shot + overheat and unusable for the rest of the battle
Roulette-augmented shot = ZOMGHAXX + explode (don't take this last part seriously...)
I hope it passes as a sufficiently nerfed heavy-assault weapon. The shots are to be based on data from studying Dieci's combat data and her I.S. The result is a magitech weapon capable of replicating such attacks without an I.S. but downgraded by some ranks.
And now to think of some uses for it's blade-mode. Any ideas?
Now I feel disappointed because Keroko-chan won't be able to bug Aurion to be able to test this out in GuardianS...

HALLOWEEN SPECIAL, PART IX
Spoiler for part 1:
He opened his eyes. Slowly.
And he found himself lying inside the medical room, accompanied by his Wind Talker fellows. Some of them were worried to see his condition, but most of them were relieved to see him relatively alright.
“Are you feeling well, Major?” Sitting Dragon asked.
“Somehow.” Armstrong groaned when he tried getting up, and was helped by Elisa as he sat down on the bed. “My head feel so light today…”
“That’s because you were pushing yourself too much,” Shamal said as she approached the bedridden Ace. “Fortunately, apart from extreme fatigue, you suffered no serious external and internal injuries.”
“I can see that,” Armstrong replied and later batted an eyebrow as he was staring at Shamal. “Pardon me, but why are you looking at me like I’m a walking dead?”
Shamal forced herself to laugh and ended in miserable way. “Well, you see, while we were performing thorough diagnosis on your body…”
“The potion you drank had altered your physiology and external appearance,” along came Faye’s voice as she and a panicked Liana entered the room. “As a result, Mr. Armstrong is technically 55 years but possesses the strength and look of a 29-year-old man.” Everyone, including Armstrong, stared at Faye strangely due to the explanation, but she continued. “We also discovered Mr. Armstrong had been exposed to Belkanite radiation during the fight with Baron Daban, which caused his body to stop aging.”
“Whoa, whoa, hold on there, Faye,” Snow Wolf said. “We don’t get that gibberish talk of yours. Can you give us simpler explanation instead?”
Faye shot the Wind Talker an annoyed glare. “Then how would you explain to him that he’s now eternally 29 without disregarding scientific proofs?” she insisted.
Ignoring Snow Wolf and Faye who would start arguing, Liana approached Armstrong and apologized for all the troubles her health drink had caused. “I don’t know why Hikki’s so obsessed with the formula, but I’ll guarantee this incident won’t happen again,” she uttered.
Armstrong could only smile. “I should thank you and Hikki, instead,” he said. “Otherwise I would have been running away from my past for the rest of my life. So don’t worry. I’ll be alright.”
“Like I said, the nullification of aging process requires extensive medical diagnosis to be performed if you want this phenomenon to be plausible,” Faye spoke as the debate became heated.
“But can you explain why ageless people like Ms. Johansen are so impossibly beautiful?” Snow Wolf asked.
(At dressing room, Frieda and Gwendolyn were discussing their “secret worlds” while Iris, Mai and Ginga exchanged glares when Frieda suddenly sneezed. “Bless you,” the other four people said.
Frieda blushed. “Thank you.”)
“That’s because beauty and being ageless aren’t related to each other,” Faye insisted.
“Obviously, Faye, you need to go out and smell the fresh air more often,” Snow Wolf sneered. “Hey, you can even ask Azali for a date. Shopping with Elisa is a good idea, too.”
“Do I have anything to do with that argument, Snow Wolf?” Elisa asked.
“Why, yes, Miss Hartmann,” Snow Wolf replied. “You should take this friend of yours for a walk at the park. I pity her who doesn’t understand the benefit of enjoying life.”
The three Wind Talkers proceeded to argue in Navajo language, speaking words so highly advanced even their fellows were dumbfounded by the complexity of their ‘conversation’.
“Young generations today…” Armstrong sighed and jumped off the bed. “Faye, Elisa, Snow Wolf. That’s enough. We’re going to the hall.”
The trio turned to him. “Grandpa?”
Armstrong grinned. “I don’t want to miss the party. Who’s coming with me?”
Spoiler for part 2:
“Anyway the wind blows, doesn’t really matter to me… to me…”
The moment he pressed the piano keys, the hall was echoing with handclaps and whistles. He, the pianist, was none other than Frederick Khan, Mister Badguy the Old Belkan Knight. And he was leading a special presentation brought to the audience by the collaboration of the Street Performers, the TSAB and the Belkan Knighthood.
“Mama! Just killed a man; put a gun against his head; pull my trigger, now he’s dead…
Mama! Life had just begun. But now I’ve got to throw it all away…
Mama, uuuu…! Didn’t mean to make you cry!
If I’m not back again this time tomorrow, carry on! Carry on!
As if nothing really matters…”
The special presentation continued, even as the Wind Talkers arrived and were greeted by the Aces. “We thought you wouldn’t come,” Nanoha said.
“Like Snow Wolf said,” Armstrong replied and glanced to Hikki who was now playing the Rhythmic Edge together with Frederick’s piano play. “Life needs to be enjoyed while we still have the opportunity.”
The four women smiled and looked at the Gale Whistler. “You and Hikki-kun are really close to each other, aren’t you?” Keroko asked.
“Almost like father and son,” Hayate added.
“Even when he became a drag queen,” Fate continued. “But then it was because his wife had made him do so.”
“Fate-chan, you’re so cruel,” Nanoha retorted. “Mai-chan only did what a married woman should do.”
The rest of the Aces, instead, gave her a very sharp foxy glare. “Oh, really? Then how come you said nothing when Mai-chan gave Hikki… that kiss?” they asked.
Nanoha blushed. “That’s… MOU! You guys are evil!” she squealed. “Are you trying to catch me red-handed?”
As the quartet began to quarrel, Armstrong approached Mai and sat next to her. “Your presence surely brought sudden changes to Hikki and everyone,” he said.
“It’s nothing. Besides,” Mai said with a low-sounding chuckle. “Besides, someone needs to take Hikari-chan home.”
Spoiler for flashback:
“Now way!”
“How could she leave without saying us goodbye?”
All male and female TSAB staffs cried in disappointment. Their heart was broken because Hikari Kokurabuji, the priestess of Magnolia Valley, left them in a sudden without proper notes. They started demanding Hikki for explanation on the impromptu departure.
“Guys, I don’t think you’ll be pleased when you know the actual truth,” Hikki said.
“We don’t care of that!” female staffs protested. “If she has to leave, then at least she must let us take pictures with her!” Their counterparts nodded in agreement and continued sobbing.
“Ah, I think there’s a serious misunderstanding here,” Hikki pondered.
“Shame on you for asking to be put under that spell,” dryly Mai commented and shot her husband a cynical glare. “It’s a good think you didn’t have the memory of the occasion.”
“I only asked for a deep meditation, not a transformation,” Hikki replied.
“Then your wish had been granted, thank you,” Mai mocked.
“Well, forget about Hikari. Let’s talk about Hikki’s WAIFU instead!” the male staffs suggested and immediately took candid pictures of the Wanderer. “If Hikari is a beauty queen, then Hikki’s WAIFU is a LOVE GODDESS!”
“Hikki-kun is so lucky to have gorgeous sister and wife by his side,” female staffs added.
“But then he bags all the Riot Force 6 ladies,” male staffs complained. “And he always targets the Takamachi Sisters for reasons only he knows. What a lucky guy he is.”
“Hey, hey, watch it,” Hikki growled.
“Well, he isn’t as lucky as Yutaro, though,” one of them continued. “He practically swept all the women during the summer vacation.” (Hikki twitched in both horror and discomfort, as rains of Raising Heart, Bardiche, Artherion and Schwertkreuz impaled him from all directions.) “He’s the player, I tell you.”
“That title should go to Takeru, instead,” his friend suggested. “He’s the one who caught Frieda’s heart and stalked the Gemini Sisters. Truly, a patient hunter.”
“Just… what are you guys talking of?” the crippled Hikki asked.
“Today’s boys are surely lucky,” the male staffs said and cried. “To have all the girls and women surrendering their body and soul… we so missed our past…”
Mai’s response? She simply knelt down and took Hikki into her arms, cradling him as closely as she could. “But, then, he still has me,” she spoke in soft voice. “After all, I’m his wife. Yosh… yosh…”
“Mai’s loveliness is beyond words…” the people murmured in awe.
“…my cute anteater…”
Everybody gaped in shock. “Anteater?”
Mai buried her flushed face into the anteater plush. “Even after giving birth to Alice and Liana, I’m still not a good wife to him…” she muttered in melancholic tone. “I should have been more responsible towards him…”
Fan boys were awed. The very sight of Mai cuddling the plush doll was one thing, but the fact that it was filled with sparkles and bubbles made their heart race wildly. In a sudden, they cried and told May they would keep on supporting her no matter what happened to her.
“Am I not a good housewife?” Mai murmured.
“NO, YOU’RE NOT!” fan boys objected.
“Am I not a good lover?” Mai spoke.
“NO, YOU’RE NOT!” fan boys protested. “Hikki’s WAIFU! You must believe in yourself! Not in him who believes in you! Not in you who believes in him! You must believe in yourself! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!”
“Have they lost their sanity?” Armstrong commented and ignored the fan boys as the special presentation reached the best part.
“I see a little silhouette of a man,” Frederick said.
“Scaramouch! Scaramouch! Will you do the Fandango?” the choir group (that consisted of Annabelle, Caro, Lutecia, Vivio, Subaru and Teana) asked.
“Thunderbolt and lightning! Very, very frightening me!” the audience answered.
“I’m just a poor boy, nobody loves me…” Frederick sighed.
“He’s just a poor boy from a poor family!” everybody continued. “Spare him his life from this monstrosity!”
“Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?” Frederick asked.
“Bismillah! NO! We will not let you go!” the choir answered.
“Let him go!” the crowd pleaded.
“Bismillah! We will not let you go!” the choir continued.
“Let him go!” the crowd pleaded.
“Bismillah! We will not let you go! (Let me go!) We’ll not let you go! (Let me go!) Will not let you go! (Never, never, never let me go!) Oh, oh, oh, oh…”
“No! No! No! No! No! NO! NO!” the crowd shouted.
“Mama Mia, Mama Mia!” Frederick said.
“Mama Mia, let me go!” the choir added.
“Beelzebub! Has a devil born inside for me,” everybody yelled. “For me… FOR ME!!!”
Frederick was thrown a Gibson electric guitar and started a frantic guitar battle with Hikki and Yutaro, banging head with the audience as they played the rock portion of “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
“So you think you can scold me and spit me in my eyes?” Hikki asked.
“So you think you can love me and live me to die?!” Yutaro added.
“Oh, baby! Can’t do this to me, baby!” Frederick replied.
“Just gotta get out!” the guitarists continued. “Just gotta get right out of here!”
The guitar battle continued, with each performer showing off their prowess in full spirit. Everybody else in the hall (including the Aces) joined in as they were banging their head and stomping the floor in unison.
Frederick left the trio and approached the piano for the final ballad piece. The Rhythmic Edge wailed in loudness as the piece started rolling, and the choir hooted “oh yeah… Oh yeah!” with Frederick as he played the piano.
Then the music slowed down.
“Nothing really matters, anyone can see…” Frederick sang.
“Nothing really matters…” Hikki and Yutaro added.
Suddenly the music stopped. The performers were idle, and it lasted until the crowd finally replied: “nothing really matters to me…”
“Nothing really matters…! To me…” Frederick played the final score, and everybody cheered and whistled for Mister Badguy. Hikki, too, played the final guitar piece in slow voice.
“Anyway, the wind… BLOWS!!”
The life performance ended. As the drummer was doing the drum-roll, Frederick left the piano and joined Hikki and Yutaro as they were bowing to the audience, who gave them a standing ovation and congratulating them for the energetic rock performance.
Spoiler for part 3:
“Phew, that was quite a song, Yutaro spoke to the microphone after Frederick and Hikki left the stage. “Ladies and gentlemen, please give another loud applause to my fellows.” Everybody clapped hands with the young guitarist. (Backstage, everybody was praising Hikki and Frederick for the powerful spirit they had displayed in bringing the soul of the legendary song to its highest.) “So do you want more?” he asked the audience.
“Yes we are!” they replied.
“Well, then, please welcome once more… the Gemini Sisters.” Yutaro gestured to the twin sisters and retreated to give them space.
“Hello, everyone!” Aura and Freya said aloud, and the audience responded with a deafening roar of approval. “We hope you’ve been enjoying this special concert, and we’re so happy to be with everyone today. We love all of you!”
“WE LOVE YOU TOO!” the Linebackers and the fans replied.
“We’ll present you this song just for you,” Aura said.
“And we want you to dance with both of us,” Freya added.
“Is that alright with everyone here?” they asked.
“WE DON’T MIND!!” the Linebackers howled. “WE’LL DO WHATEVER YOU WISH!!”
The Gemini Sisters giggled. “Dewa!”
Yutaro started the song with the familiar tune of a romantic summer.
“Natsu no kaze ga…” Freya sang.
“Natsu no kaze ga!” the audience sang along.
“Kami wo naderu…” Aura continued.
“Kami no naderu!” everyone followed.
“Kinose kana, koi no yoka~n…”
Yutaro revved the guitar. The backup singers said “Sha-la-la-la-la!” and everybody cheered as the music started.
Freya: “kira-kira atsui no hamabe…” Aura: “kira-kira atsui no hamabe…” Both: “mugi wara boushi no, LALALA nugezuni ita no; okute na… Ah! Lonely maiden…”
The Linebackers were overwhelmed by the special Gemini Service they danced with the twin sisters ONSTAGE. Everybody else approved of the act, as they danced to the beachside music in equal delight.
(“Holy crap!” Kay gasped. “They’ve been poisoned by the song!”
Mai, who had arrived with the likes of Frieda, Gwendolyn, Iris and Ginga, was glaring at the intoxicated duo in absolute jealousy. “Baaka,” she murmured and looked around for a dancing partner before she spotted the lonesome Takeru. “You.”
The gunslinger boy pointed to his face. “Who? Me?”
Mai nodded. “Would you like to dance with me?”
Takeru looked up at Aura. “Since my partner is up there, I guess I’m free for use,” he said in blatant informality.
Gwendolyn and Iris stared at their precious little sister. “I think Mai-chan wants to enjoy the party,” Gwen commented.)
Freya: “fushigi na michimiki…” Aura: “Shio no michihiki…” Both: “yumemi ru mitai ni; de ai tara… Ah!”
“Gemini Sisters SAIKKO DA!” male audience shouted.
Freya/Aura: “manatsu wa ROMANTIKKU! Nagisa mo ROMANTIKKU! Hizashi mo ROMANTIKKU! Takanami wo kakeagatte!”
“This is the best day we’ve ever had!” fan boys screamed and bled their nose when the Gemini Sisters deliberately flashed themselves. “HELL YEAH! THAT’S WHAT WE CALL FAN SERVICE!”
Freya/Aura:“watashi wa ROMANTIKKU! Anata mo ROMATIKKU! Sekai ju ROMANTIKKU! Hiyake datte! Ki ni shinai de!”
“Summer! SUMMER LOVE!” everyone replied.
“Kime tai no…”
Spoiler:
(The special presentation was broadcasted across Mid-Childa and neighbouring countries. On the radio, on television, and on the World Wide Web; people from all level of professions and lifestyles were captivated by the song and danced regardless of they were belonged to.
Crews onboard the helicopter heading to the maximum-security Point Silver Correctional Facility were listening to the life concert as well. Even the detainees were enjoying it.
Including Baron.
“Romantic summer, huh?” the heavily shackled noble warrior uttered. “I’ll never forget…”)
The Gemini Sisters danced and danced on the stage, each step and body movement executed in perfect harmony with the accompanying music. They were exhilarated, as so did the audience and cameramen broadcasting the live performance.
Even Armstrong, who did not usually enjoy party and social gathering, found himself dancing with Keroko, and created quite a stir among his colleagues.
“Armstrong actually dances with Keroko? DOES NOT COMPUTE!” both Snow Wolf and Elisa exclaimed.
“The Sword That Cleaves Evil and The Red Devil… dancing together… USO DA!!!” Keroko’s team-mates added.
“You have never seen Grandpa enjoying himself, have you?” Azali asked in cynical manners.
“Real men dance with the wind!” Zafira cried out with manly tears.
“Ah, Zafira-san…” the people sighed.
“I never thought you can actually dance, Ojiichan,” Keroko commented as the unlikely couple danced across the floor.
“Well, Maxim and I used to dance with the wind under the sunset,” Armstrong said.
Keroko had to laugh at the innuendo-sounding answer. “Ah-hahahahah, okay then…”
“Keroko.”
The red-haired Ace looked up at him. “Yes?”
“You look beautiful in the frills.”
Keroko blushed at the compliment. “A-arigatou, Ojiichan. You look… handsome, too,” she replied.
“Thank you, Keroko,” he said with a smile.
“Come on, everyone!” Hikki shouted as he joined up with his friends. “Let us dance and rock this world!”
“OU!” everyone replied.
Freya/Aura: “manatsu wa ROMANTIKKU! Nagisa mo ROMANTIKKU! Hizashi mo ROMANTIKKU! Takanami wo kakeagatte!”
“WE LOVE YOU, GEMINI SISTERS!” fan boys and male audience screamed.
Freya/Aura: “watashi wa ROMANTIKKU! Anata mo ROMATIKKU! Sekai ju ROMANTIKKU! Hiyake datte! Ki ni shinai de!”
“Summer! SUMMER LOVE!” all the people shouted.
Freya and Aura pointed to the audience. “Kime tai no…”
Yutaro played the final riff of the song. The Gemini Sisters danced for the last time before the music stopped. The hall erupted in massive handclaps and deafening whistles, as everybody applauded the dynamic duo.
“Well, that ends our cosplay party,” Chrono said. “All good things must eventually end, right?”
“True, true,” Accous continued. “I’ll miss this event a lot after this.”
“But there’s always next year and beyond!” Hayate reminded. “Only this time, no drag queen and no objection. Everything must go according to my plan. MINE!” She laughed in maniacal manners, knowing how the Halloween party for years to come would have to go HER WAY.
“So, I bet you don’t have to cross-dress as a drag queen again next year, right?” Fate teased.
“Huh? I don’t know what you’re talking of,” Hikki replied.
“What? You didn’t remember yourself cosplaying as a hot priestess with beauty I should have envied upon?” Fate retorted. “Hikki, you’re the worst!”
Hikki became even more confused. “I don’t get you, Fate-chan.”
“And stop calling me Fate-chan!” Fate mumbled.
“Yosh. He doesn’t remember what he had done,” Mai murmured with a deviant smile. “Just as planned.”
The cue of “Home (Daughtry)” echoed in the hall.
// IT’S OVER. SO WHAT? //
Well, don't mind the last two lines. So, after all these days and weeks and madness, I hope this second edition of holiday special brings smile to our face. So I guess you all are now awaiting Christmas Special, right?
Oh, yeah, some scenes are made of complete WTF.
Excellent finale! Mai certainly made her presence known this time.
But... ARMSTRONG IS NOW ETERNALLY-29?!?!
ZOMG HAXX!

One of the biggest mysteries surrounding this whole thing, the hows and the whys, revolved around one thing: The Space Cruiser Ramza. What had happened on board the ship that caused the crew to abandon it? And what happened to the sister ship, the Alma?
After the Subjugation War, many people, Erusian and TSAB alike, made theories as to why the events that had occurred happened in the way they did. Both sides pored over backlogs and checked the logs of ships that hadn't been totally destroyed. The computer records from the time were searched through, but revealed few clues as to why it had happened.
Here is what was known: The Ramza decloaked on the far side of Erusia approximately one-hundred and twenty years ago. It was left to drift in orbit for a few weeks while the Erusians and Sotoans had a pitched battle in space. The Erusians recovered it shortly after the battle, finding the ship as it drifted through some space debris. They used salvage crews to place the ship into a repair yard and went about the method of cracking its hull, or rather, just simply finding a way in. Conventional high-powered cutting lasers did little more than scorch the hull at the time, so the Erusians went about the method of developing a higher-powered cutting laser, similar to the weaponry on board their space destroyers.
It took a few years, and in that time, the Erusians learned very little about the ship proper. The hull was composed of materials beyond their knowledge, and any and all side hatches proved to be unable to be cracked open with security overrides. At first believing that an advanced AI or survivors were on board, they spent time scanning the ship to find that it was totally inert. The ship was dead; there was no crew and no AI.
This led the TSAB to make the first conjecture about the ship's abandonment: The AI went berserk. One-hundred plus years ago, the TSAB had yet to perfect Artificial Intelligence, and sometimes a shipboard AI would go insane. Because of this, there were two security measures: first, that the scout fleets of the TSAB traveled in pairs so one ship could rescue the other's crew, and second, that there was an onboard override only accessible by the ship's captain. This override would erase the AI of the ship and allow for a new one to be installed. Logs made by the Erusians noted that, shortly after providing power to and accessing the computer systems, they noted a lack of AI.
This also led to a theory about the Alma's disappearance: its AI also went berserk. Both ships were exactly the same, after all: both were the same model, built at the same time in the same place, and the Alma's AI was a direct copy of the Ramza's. It's entirely possible that whatever had happened to the Ramza's AI system to make it go berserk happened to the Alma's as well and, without the use of an AI, the crew was stranded in space until they died, or were killed by the AI.
A second theory was noted when the TSAB came across documents that explained another important factor: until they ripped out the Magi-tech reactor of the ship (which is no where near as easy as it sounded), it was constantly leaking "an unknown radiation". The method used to power today's TSAB spaceships had changed somewhat in the past century; one of those was the use of safer power sources for their reactors. It was possible, then, that if the AI went berserk, it caused the reactor to overheat and malfunction - such an act was well within the AI's parameters. If the reactor was leaking, then it was entirely feasible for the captain to order a full-scale abandoning of the Ramza.
But there were still questions: why were the escape pods will in their respective bays? Why hadn't the computer database been deleted? Moreover, why did the TSAB security forces on board leave their Devices?
For them to be able to forego the use of escape pods, they would have been docked with the Alma. Teleportation technology had yet to be perfected on this class of ship, so to transfer they would have to have been directly docked with the Alma; not an impossible feat by any means, but if the AI was going berserk, then how could they have done it? The only solution the TSAB saw was that the AI had caused the ship to go inert, or rather, the captain had erased the AI by then, and the docking occured thanks to the Alma's navigators.
The database was a different story. Standard procedure required that the entire database and Operating System be deleted from the computers on board, thus rendering the ship incapable of operation . One would think that the AI and the computers would be connected through the wipe, but this was not the case: in the event that the ship was salvagable, it was much easier for the TSAB to simply install a few AI then to completely reformat the ship's systems thanks to a wiped computer. But for this to have not happened was not only a large breach in protocol, but something would have had to happen that caused the captain to forget about it. The only answer was the AI, perhaps threatening to kill everyone before the captain erased it. This also would have to have occured thanks to the reactor leak, but still did not explain the last thing: the Devices.
A TSAB soldier is required to have their Devices at all times; it's one of the first things they drilled to you in the academy. Another thing they drilled into you was to never leave it. Ever. So how did the soldiers forget about it? The only solution was that the crew of the Alma lied and promised that the Devices were already on board their ship. This led to a second breach of protocol - lying directly to another captain - and a third - soldiers being lax about having their Devices on them.
By the end of it all, the TSAB had some questions that couldn't be answered about why the crew messed up the abandonment so badly, but at the least, they knew why the ship had been abandoned: A berserk AI and a reactor malfunction. Both were understandable; although reactor malfunctions of the disastrous level hardly occur in today's TSAB, the possibility of an AI going berserk has always been on their minds, and even now, for example, Admiral Chrono Harlown has the override for his ship, in case the onboard AI goes loopy.
Right then, I think I only have one part left (the Erusians losing) before I go back, force Tk to help me fix all the hax (of which I think we have little to none left, and now it's all just technicalities and, God forbid, physics), and start working on actual OCs.
The fact that they can't even crack the shell of that ship speaks volumes of how advanced it is... Though I guess the devices would then be salvaged by the opposing-parties later?

@PFlare: I just speedread (Medicine makes you level that profession to 375 ) through the earlier chapters of GuardianS, and I've an idea now... Though I chuckle at the thought of the end of the world. According to Nighty, it will happen, and by the Alhazredians no less, when the dead walk the earth once more.
Back to GuardianS. I see how everything fits now; a small one-shot of Artei comforting Teana, him calling Kha out to give Subaru a look (he's a Healer), only to return and notice that Subaru had been mended.
I also thought of some KhaTessa until Carim interrupts with message of the prophecy like in StrikerS. It's because the Tome of Devotion is a storage device that stores its spells in stories, and researchers have used it to decipher many metaphors of Belka lore, that's why Carim's skill is often paired up with Kha's tome in translation.
Like in StrikerS, the Tome yields no answer other than static gibberish, leaving everyone guessing once again. But unlike the last time, there's now little Tessa who loves maths puzzles.
That's all I have to work on; what needs to be revealed depends on you. I think I should PM my ideas for the sidestory to you, to not spoil.
Hao bathing with the guys? USODA!!!
I wonder who is the girl HoroHoro loves

- This might be the time that AltS II happens, so this will be a good time to pin some things.
Kyla: Now a Member of the now ruling TSAB Middle Council. For four years straight, she has been elected as the 'Head' of the Bureau- Making her unable to do her usual patrols. Her Objectives are for the total revision of Bureau Command Structure, Methods and Procedures- essentially a total restructuring of the Bureau.
Minerva: Now Assigned as the XO of the Silvana, with her husband Vincent as CO- Kyla being the XCO when she boards. The ship though rarely goes anywhere except around Central's planet, Royal Midea and the Space Base. Lately, it has been stuck in drydock, extensive refits being undertaken, since rumor has it that it became the flagship of the bureau.
Chacha: Currently in Earl, Serving her tenure as the 'Sixth Pillar'.
Ashton: Currently assigned by Kyla to another Rescue unit, basically He was assigned to Subaru's division but serves in another squad- the irony is that they are not still managing to meet. (It's almost time ne?)
Rurika: Assigned to an investigative unit under Kyla's suggestion.
CC: Still in Space Central Control, doing her thing. She now has a Daughter though.
Kanala: Said CC's daughter is in Ground Central Once again, doing her thing as well.
Night: Said Princess is ready to go to a higher educational facility, College or Bureau, she is still deciding. And before that, She has to be crowned Queen of Midea- becoming the second most powerful person in Ordered Space (after the Bureau head, or heads/brains if pre StS)- the one who takes care of non-Bureau legislation, like tax. Invitations to the coronation are now being handed out.
Two New AX members are to be introduced as well.
Kirika and Kuji are still in Windland...
Kuji: It was an accident!!!
Precia: Oh shut up!!! Glow Lance!!!
Kirika: *smacks palm on head*
Hyaweh, Fel, Filia and Karin (and Hell depending on the end):...

Definitely not. That won't destroy Reishiki. The most it would do is damage a few components. Reishiki is very, VERY sturdy!
Even Aurion would twitch if Reshiki went GAR on him out of the blue.

Like I said, I'm planning on smaller versions of Dieci's shots. Or even as powerful when more energy and more charging is used... Let's say that it can fire only six shots per one occasion, then it would go like this...
AAA rank energy bullet damage = 6 shots
S rank energy bullet damage = 3 shots
SS rank energy bullet damage = 1 shot + overheat and unusable for the rest of the battle
Roulette-augmented shot = ZOMGHAXX + explode (don't take this last part seriously...)
I hope it passes as a sufficiently nerfed heavy-assault weapon. The shots are to be based on data from studying Dieci's combat data and her I.S. The result is a magitech weapon capable of replicating such attacks without an I.S. but downgraded by some ranks.
And now to think of some uses for it's blade-mode. Any ideas?
Now I feel disappointed because Keroko-chan won't be able to bug Aurion to be able to test this out in GuardianS...
AAA to SS power levels certainly is powerful. As for the blade-mode test, how about Orphonoks drones or against wielders with powerful bladed weapons as well? Fate with Riot Zanber comes into mind.

Fate's level in melee and speed while using Riot Zamber is way too high... She'd zip around Aurion (who's made SLOWER by the weapon's accompanying heavier Barrier Jacket design, not to mention his still better at range than melee) and slash him a thousand times in a few moments... If it's just a blade power-testing, then it might do. H.A.V.A. T-X555 is not suited for one-to-one matches and is more for sieges and heavy-assault, anyway. He'd be better of trying to fight normally when against somebody like Fate.
