A one mech haunted graveyard?
That's pretty cool. Useful, too.
On a seperate note? I'm in awe, @lost star. The sheer amount you've been writing is pretty insane.
You know, these guys are perfect hires, in a number of ways.
They know, and like Bolt. They're good for all the low level, but vital longer term stuff. They're reasonably trustworthy. They are good at area's that Bolt doesn't focus on.
And, even if they want to betray him, they have nowhere...
Being a mech designer seems to attract such folk, given it happened to Ves, too.
And he gunned down a few pirates as well, but he didn't build his own gun, so.....

That, alone, is something valuble, to the MTA, and many others.
It's a interesting Expert mech. It's really good, teamed up with another, more combat focused Expert. Or, for army vs army.
Man.
The Hexxers get worse and worse.
Still, stealing their secrets, and selling them to their enemies is a pretty reasonable vengance. Well, that, and making sure all your contacts know about it, and that they might be on the target list.
I see the mind warped Hexxers Kill Team is willing to die for "their" cause.
Even their mechs are primed to let the pilots die for their owners.
What a mess.
I knew the Rat's would be a really hard target.
Now, we just need to see what Lily does.
Huh.
All the Kill Squad's women. With the standard, but only for Hexxor's, gene edits. Obvious bad guys are obvious.
Expert Lily and Mad Science!Bolt.
Who are going to be PISSED. As are a number of MTA groups, including Bolt's own faction.
Not counting all the mech spirits, who want Bolt up and running. And, those nearby Nations who like what they're doing.....
Well, the Hexxers have really stepped in it...
There's a reason I gave up on the Mech Touch. Ves was becoming such a scumbag, who'd talk himself into doing anything, even stupid, horrible ones, in the hope he'd get something from it.
And, he'd always get at least some minor understanding, but.... Half the time, I could see him getting at...
It really is Mech Valhalla.
Is anybody else in that Universe wondering this deep into the spirit side of mechs? Because making a mech afterlife is pretty far out, as spiritual stuff goes.
Sure, something like that.
The mere fact he can do so, almost by accident, while doing a bunch of other things? That's rare. And, leaving the right ones to really help? Rarer still.
