The interview had been brief but it'd given both Bolt and Lilly a lot to unpack. The 'curse' talk had landed like a bomb. Poor Phillipe seemed more than a little disturbed by it. Even Bolt felt disturbed by it and he wasn't effected. The various implications about it involved things he'd...
Phillipe stepped into the room dressed in armor and with an explosive device strapped around his neck. Only the fact that the room was perfectly air conditioned and his clothing was high class kept him from visibly sweating. Despite the tension inherent in what he was doing, he felt oddly calm...
I don't recall everything off hand for that particular segment, but if I recall right you're misunderstanding what Wrecker wanted. He didn't give a damn about the resources. That was really just a bonus. What he cared about was that Bolt's family was uncontrolled and had 'influenced' his...
It probably said something that sleeping in the bunker with cheap beds felt far more comfortable than sleeping in a fancy hotel. Lilly didn't want to think on it too much, especially since the pregnancy meant sleep was a bit of a problem. Not much of one, but she didn't like staying in bed...
Odette was genuinely convinced that the foreigner named Bolt was capable of black magic. She knew damage. She might not have been a designer, but any pilot worth their mech knew how to evaluate damage. Swan had been dead. Yet somehow black magic had revived her beloved partner for a final...
Odette was a woman on the average side for a Second Rate woman. Mildly pretty, short brown hair cropped in a way that brought military styles to mind, and fairly unremarkable clothing. She could have passed for a normal person if her presence didn't scream expert. She was also quite furious...
Woodpecker was not a pretty mech. It was an unfinished, ramshackle, barely functional piece of hardware in all truth. The armor was rough and grated against itself as the limbs moved. The engine stuttered at certain actions. The footing and balance was frankly atrocious, and Lilly didn't...
Things were a mess. That was putting it politely. If one wanted to be really truthful about it, one could say that it was a dumpster on fire. Bolt had no real sense of military matters. He didn't need any of it to tell that things were absolutely screwed. Thankfully it was less that they...

"We have an actual plan now." Philippe told his friends as they gathered. "Bolt has been given authorization codes for a facility nearby. We need to go there, hook up with the people if they are loyal, and then let him know. If we are lucky, they have more mechs."
"We only have...
Green Barrier 12 was not the only planet in its parent nation. It was in fact one of over a hundred. It was one planet amongst many in a Second Rate nation. This meant many things. It meant several hundred planets were organized to support it. It meant that a bureaucracy had been created to...
Biomechs were best described as a parallel technology to standard mech technology. A lot of it interlapped, but the central precept required technology specifically designed for biological processes. This meant that working with it typically required an entirely different educational base...
"I don't like this." Lilly muttered to Bolt after things were situated.
"The bunker or something else?" Bolt asked back as he examined the structure and accessible data.
Power was good, armor was solid, the place even had a small mech-bay for repairs and storage if needed. It was empty of a...
