    Logically the series of events made sense. Bolt really didn't want to actually try to decipher it all. It made his head hurt. The stupidity involved was so endemic that he wanted to scream. "So, you saved these kids on your infiltration job, attempted to run away, and ended up with the local...

    Dowry was not a stealth mech. That was the mech she was chasing, Cheshire. Dowry did have enough camouflage to mimic a stealth mech in certain situations, like following a stealth mech trying to get away. Which made following the cat easier. It helped a lot that the little cat-mech wasn't...

    The Valkyrie Redeemer was interesting in several ways, yet boring in others. Mechanically it was sound. Ves had obviously gotten a significant amount of assistance in building it. The Hexxer influence was all over the blueprints. His design ethos still showed through that almost taint. The...

    Cleanup was unfortunately more of an issue than the fight. They'd almost accidentally managed to capture two expert Hexxer pilots, a fair amount of normal pilots, and all their support staff. Figuring out what to do with that many people was going to be a hassle, because putting them on ice...

    As much as Lilly and Bolt wanted to just sort of chill in space and let the war pass them by, they did need to be seen doing things. So, once they were supplied they moved off again. This time to a place closer to an active battle. Now, it has to be said that the Wrench Rats were not part of...

    Today's problem was quite unusual. Bolt wanted to design a new mech and flex his abilities. He also did not want to let people know about his advancement to Senior. This meant he couldn't actually push the mech he'd designed into production, because people would notice. So, he had to get...

    To his mild bemusement, Bolt was actually caught up, relatively. He still had that work with that master in the near future, but he had no real large projects now. It was probably time to start planning his next mech. Before then he checked up on Sami. The girl had not designed any original...

    As much as she disliked to say it, the carrier she'd inherited from her estate was useful. The thing was capable of holding enough mechs to be useful, fast enough to avoid most problems, and durable enough to handle any problems that did catch it. That was without the tuneups Gadget had done...

    "Ya know, I didn't expect you to be quite so... Enthusiastic about this." Bolt observed as the woman practically bounced on her heels in front of him. He'd just sent out the designs for the new Friday mech and really hadn't expected the girl to rush to the design room after he'd indicated he...

    He needed a backer. Gloria posted on space book that she was his destined wife and the Fridays immediately decided he was toxic. It was either hex or die at that point. After the first two mecha the rest were mostly inconsequential though.

    Historically the turning point in the Hex-Friday war would be identified as occurring roughly one to two months after the introduction of the Son of War. The exact point would never be really determined due to the fact that the warfronts advanced with extreme variation throughout the latter...

    Medical treatment was a very complicated subject in the galaxy, and one place where a lot of the division between tiers broke down. There was probably a careful balancing act for it all in the background, but Lilly didn't know nor care about all of the mechanics behind it. What she did know...

    It felt ominous for some reason. Bolt stared at the Heart Crystal and could almost swear it was humming. Whatever the Assembler had put in it was not a standard lesson. Yet he needed to learn it anyway. He placed a hand on the crystal and focused. The trick to pull data from it required a...

    Nah it's more like the mecha only virtue is that it's easy to make and semi modular. It's designed to be made quick and in great numbers.

    Mira was a woman with stylized black hair, a heart shaped face, and a body that adhered to almost stereotypical Hexxer norms, which was tall and curvy. She was also in a medical coma and on his ship. Bolt couldn't say he was happy or unhappy about it. He was more mildly confused that the...

    She was running on about two hours of sleep at the moment. Two hours of sleep over the past week to be precise. It was very far from optimal. In point of fact the only reason she wasn't dead or passed out was a copious amount of drugs and a rather stubborn desire to not be disciplined her...

    The hurt was like a knife in his breast. It cut at his heart and made him bleed every second, every minute, every day. His soul ached. The only solace he had was in his blade and in the battlefield. He knew it was not healthy. He also could not find it in himself to care. Being a blade was...

    It had to be said that the Wrench Rats and Lilly weren't generals. They were Third Rate brawlers and scavengers before they'd been catapulted into Second Rate. They were not exactly master tacticians and did not really have much strategic ability at all. Their only strengths were in their...

    One of the things that tripped a lot of people up was how easy or hard something was to accomplish. This sounded very silly, but it was a truth that far too many people got tripped up in. Take the following line: Pick up the package from engineering and bring it to the bridge. That sounded...
