Lancer Interlude: Round 1 – Turn 1

“poo poo, Mirage!” Frank cursed as a shot from his Unraveller passed through empty air. His second shot was true, and one of the pirate Operators vanished in a ball of plasma as its micro-scale teleporters discharged and made it disappear. Whether it vanished into blinkspace or into some other paracausal realm hardly mattered, it was gone.

A moment later the second operator reappeared, albeit briefly. Rather than shouldering its energy rifle, its teleporters flashed in quick succession and tried to lodge it firmly inside Nana’s Everest. The Operator exploded spectacularly, staggering the Everest and even scorching Triada’s Black Witch as the energies held at bay by the Operator’s teleportation field lost cohesion.

“Crazy fuckin’ pirates!” Triada cursed, unable to maintain even the thinnest veneer of respect.

The logistics of waiting 4 rounds to hit a door twice with a loading weapon is pretty insane, in hindsight. I think I'm going to reduce that requirement to 1 bombard hit. If you can get it to hit the door, you're in. No questions asked.

The door guards are meant to be a threat in a "what do we need to clear out to accomplish our goal safely?" sort of way.

The Bombard's main gun isn't actually Loading, just Ordnance and Inaccurate.

e: by the way, I think some of the player sheets are reflecting heat and Statuses from the last sitrep that shouldn't have carried over. IE, I should be at zero heat and not slowed or jammed at the moment.

^^^ I thought I cleared those, sorry!


The original plan was a Rainmaker since the core rulebook's initial description was:
Rainmaker Long-range artillery that shoot delayed-impact rockets, dealing significant damage

What the core rulebook didn't say (in the one-sentence enemy preview) is that the Rainmaker doesn't so much have delayed-action missiles as it is a generator of a series of murderzones that make things harder for players who need to move to kill things.

Lancer Interlude: Round 1 – Turn 2

Thou Shalt Not’s hands curled into an anahata as Triada reopened the Diluvian Arc. The swarm of energy-redirecting drones interacted with and adjusted the Black Witch’s own intense magnetic fields allowing Noah, the former civilian air-traffic controller, to redirect enemy attacks and launch shrapnel back at them.

Almost cheekily, as if making a mockery of Noah’s efforts, the little enemy scout took a shot at the Black Witch with its marker rifle. Little more than a targeting laser at its core, the marker rifle painted the Black Witch before Noah realized the threat. Its attempt to redirect and heighten the marker rifle’s harmless datastream came just a moment too late. As if to further its mockery, a moment later the Scout initiated a burst upload, flooding sensors and even the visible light spectrum with blinding amounts of raw data to hide itself and its allies from sight.

Lancer Interlude: Round 1 – Turn 3

Charlotte bit back a curse. She’d had the Pyro dead to rights, a hard lock bolstered by the Swallowtail—and her shot had simply missed a target that was, rather notoriously, nearly as easy to hit as the planet she was standing on. Partially incensed, but mostly out of sheer disbelief, she called up the Pegasus’s fire control systems, plotting the shot moment-by-moment in a real time hologram to figure out how her perfect killshot had missed while Mightier than the Sword or Pen’s automated systems finished the rest of her planned attack without her input.

The Pegasus’s sensors were perfect—insofar as anything it could see, she could see from any angle. She whirled the scene around her, tracking the shot as it bore down on the pitifully slow bruiser of a mech. Forward and backward, from the moment she fired to the moment the shot missed, until she rewound far enough to spot the tell. Either sensing danger or simply lucky, the Pyro’s pilot had begun moving before she’d even fired—but in a way that made it appear stationary from her vantage point. One leg slipped back, and rather than a sidestep the Pyro turned a handful of degrees to the side and that had been enough. The shells from her mimic gun missed by millimeters, if her target had been a human Charlotte’s shot could’ve shaved their eyebrows.

“Now I know everything,” Charlotte Yan-Lun al-Amir growled. “I didn’t miss. It dodged!”

Destroying the Scout indeed eliminates the Invisibility effect.

Also, thanks to Spotter 2, Lock-On on the Pyro reveals its numerical stats (Armor, Speed, Evasion, E-Def, Mech Skills, and HP).

Where did the Smartgun shot at the Hornet go? Pegasus makes 4 attacks: Mimic Gun, Smartgun, Aux Oracle, Integrated Oracle.

Lancer Interlude: Round 1 – Turn 4

Nana’s heavy cannon fire missed the Pyro by centimeters as it took another half-step and bowed, seeing it safely beneath Nana’s volley as the heavy recoil of her weapon brought the muzzle up with each successive shot.

“—must have some sort of paracausal sensor suite,” Triada’s voice filled the silence after the burst. “Or a predictive algorithm—it knows where our shots are going before we do and just moves out of the way.”

“No,” Nana replied as her half-aimed potshot blew the Hornet out of the sky. It crashed into the snow between her and the Pyro, but her attention wasn’t on it. Her heart was racing—not from fear, but excitement. Mercenaries didn’t tend to last as long as Nana had, they eventually retired or joined Albatross or simply died. The only ones that lasted were those still desperately walking the fine line between success and failure; and the true battle junkies who’d grown addicted to the noise and the rush and the terror of those few seconds of excitement between interminable stretches of boredom.

“No,” Nana reiterated with a grin as she put her next salvo purposefully over the Pyro’s head. It didn’t even flinch. Her normally composed features had twisted into a rictus grin as that heart-pounding desire to win flooded her veins. “This one’s got real combat experience. They’re not like the small fries we’ve been grinding into the snow. This one’s a lancer.”

Lancer Interlude: Round 2 – Turn 1

Nana’s grin only widened as she dropped her Heavy Machine Gun, trusting its magnetic sling to whip it back into place on her mech’s back.

“Challenge accepted,” she growled as she popped an overheated fuel rod into the fuel rod gun and fired it at the Pyro’s face. The shot couldn’t do much damage, and the Pyro didn’t even try to dodge—exactly the reaction she’d been hoping for when she took a shot from the hip with her displacer. A blinkspace rupture enveloped the Pyro for a moment and a moment later the other ‘Mech snapped back into real space mostly intact but scorched and leaking unfathomable energies from its reactor ports.

With a practiced ease Nana ejected the Displacer’s battery and, against every design document ever produced by every manufacturer, hot-swapped it with a fully charged spare. She barely had the battery locked in place when she fired again; but the deceptively slow Pyro was already in motion. Elated by the surprise challenge, Nana popped off another shot with her Fuel Rod Gun as she tried to make some space but couldn’t tell if the shot had any significant effect as, heedless of its own safety, the Pyro closed inexorably. Heat shimmer surrounded it and the ice beneath their feet melted down to bare rock as its flamethrower bathed Nana’s Everest in cloying, white-hot plasma.

The heat cap thing is right, but definitely counterintuitive and inconsistent since you lose a structure at 0 HP rather than -1. Effectively everyone has 1 extra heat cap.
