    The MTA's headquarters was designed to awe. There was no other words for it. It was designed to be as awe inspiring as possible. From the orbital architecture, to the way you landed, to how you were guided, all of it was curated to provoke emotion. Bolt wasn't unaffected by it all. It's...

    They could. They like to be official about things. And there's some internal people that will look at you sideways if you didn't have the paperwork.

    The official line that Bolt had to parrot was that it was all psionics. Psionics were also explicitly a human only phenomenon. The strange shit that had happened on the planet was the result of bizarre alien powers. That was about the sum total of what would get Bolt in trouble with the MTA...

    He's actually not very compatible with other type ones. If they handle the entire mech like he does there'd be conflicts. Aside from that yeah, he's very compatible. That is if you can handle him almost stealing your specialty when you work together.

    You're actually the first person to say it. It is a big deal. It's a bit of a throwaway in the original so I'm sure people familiar with the source matter didn't recall it, but being able to get what a pilot feels while piloting is a very expensive procedure. Best way to describe it I think is...

    FTL communicators were expensive, expensive things depending on what you wanted. They were also rather necessary in this day and age. Getting two portable military grade relays had cost a significant portion of their budget for the expedition. It had also been rather necessary. Fortunately...

    Threadmarks: I013 - End Arc 2

    When Lilly and Bolt had gone away they'd set several precautions behind. Most of them had been relatively simple. Additional security, patrol routes, command responsibilities, and so on. The more complicated stuff had been just in cases. What they should do in the case of an attack was the...

    Lilly loved her husband. She really did. She loved his passions. She loved the way he worked. She loved the fact that he was always considerate about her needs. She also wanted to strangle him sometimes. No adding new systems while they were in the middle of a battlefield! It was bad...

    Examining Dowry hadn't been conclusive. It had been informative yes. It had not giving him definitive answers. She was developing. Developing into what he couldn't say. Compared to Morning Star she was a bit higher in spiritual power, but not much. Morning Star was potent. The alignment...

    They'd allotted several days to the breakdown of the city. The assumption was that the automated reinforcements would trickle in while this was happening and that was considered the safest amount of time they could spare. Bolt was fairly done with looting after the first day really. He'd...

    Bolt wouldn't make stone blood even if he knew the recipe. And the final weapon is the pit and the screaming. It was worse when first used.

    Bolt's fellows were in the process of dismantling the city. There was no other way to describe it. The city would be no more shortly. They weren't being gentle. They weren't being slow. It was strip mining. And that was ok. There were plenty of other cities hidden on this planet, and it...

    When Cable had reviewed the data, he'd gone through several dozen possible sites. Some of them were fairly obvious. Others less so. The ascension site for instance had been relatively small and valuable. This place was not small. It'd been labeled as a settlement. Alien technology or not...

    They were taking a serious risk now. Before they'd been pure scavengers. Darting at the outside, looking for weak points, being very careful. With Lilly's new mech and the ability to both fend off the whispers and let her rest without interruption they had a different option now. They were...

    There's a trick, but it's unintentional on Bolts end and a weakness. He's far from perfect.
