You are Augmented Human C4-621.
Call Sign: "Raven".
And you have just freed the Coral from their imprisonment on Rubicon.
"What awaits us on the other side?"
Your memory is filled with the sounds of battle, victory... and freedom.
"Let's find out... together."
The words echo fiercely within your mind as you try and return to consciousness.
Your "eyes" eventually open as you feel your body go online, in stages.
What do your new eyes see?
[ ] A meadow filled with white flowers.
[ ] The ruins of a city.
[ ] The edge of a forest.
[ ] The beach.
[ ] The ruins of a research facility.
[ ] The inside of a gigantic freight elevator.
[ ] The entrance to what looks like an underground structure.
[ ] Other (write-in).
Is someone with you?
[ ] Yes.
[ ] No.
Who is it?
[ ] The ECHO unit.
[ ] The TRANSCRIBER unit.
[ ] A random mishmash of AC parts.
[ ] Something that looks like STEEL HAZE, but...
[ ] WHAT THE HECK IS THAT THING?!
[ ] Some sort of jury-rigged quadruped MT.
[ ] Someone or something else (write-in).
What was your favorite weapon or combat style?
[ ] Nothing in particular. Whatever works.
[ ] The MOONLIGHT laser blade. Stay loyal to From.
[ ] Explosives. Because they're awesome.
[ ] Getting in close and hitting things. Red Comet kick!
[ ] DOUBLE ZIMZAMS FOR THE WIN BAYBEE
[ ] It costs 120,000 COAM to fire this weapon for twelve seconds.
[ ] ONEPUUUUUUUUNCH!
[ ] Other (write-in).
What was your combat aesthetic as Raven?
[ ] Strictly utilitarian. Pragmatic.
[ ] Strictly performative. Showman.
[ ] A mix of both. Prudent.
What are you here for?
[ ] For fun.
[ ] For glory.
[ ] For booty.
What was your endgame AC build?
[ ] Write-in.
What was your emblem?
[ ] Write-in.
FINAL QUESTION: WHO IS YOUR AC6 WAIFU/HUSBANDO?
[ ] Ayre
[ ] Carla
[ ] Rusty
[ ] Kate Markson
[ ] Write-in.
QUEST MAKER'S NOTE: Will try to update at most, once every two weeks. Word count for updates will be, at the minimum, 500 to 750 words.
An SFW version of this quest is also simultaneously posted elsewhere ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), so both forums' votes will be taken into consideration when making posts.

Maeterlinck (Vespers)
Tetra / Attacker / Burst II
Wind / Submachine Gun (HI-16: GU-Q1)
SSR
CV: Lynn
Member of the Vespers, a squadron of NIKKE dedicated to high-speed hit-and-run attacks. A graceful combatant, she is taciturn but steadfast and dutiful.
Skill 1: VP-61PS
Activates when ally takes more than 30% max HP damage: deploy a Plasma Shield on self and ally with lowest HP. Shield HP and maximum hit limit increases per level (40% to 75% of caster's max HP, 1-4 hits). (Cooldown: 40s)
(NOTE: The way this skill works is that the shield will remain standing even if its HP is depleted, as long as the hit limit is not reached.)
Skill 2: Double Trigger
Affects self. Activates during Burst: increase attack (20-30%) and reload speed (50-75%). Reduce magazine size by 50%.
Reduces cooldown of Skill 1 by 5-10 seconds per last bullet fired (atk speed and cooldown reduction increases with skill level). Burst cooldown is halved if member from same squadron is on team.
(Note: Skill cooldown reduction is independent of Burst activation.)
Burst III: FASAN/60E
Pauses interruption countdown of target by 5s. Damages and slows target and other units within area of effect (damage and slow increases per level).
(Cooldown: 40s)
Rusty (Vespers)
Elysion / Attacker / Burst III
Wind / Assault Rifle (RANSETSU)
SSR
CV: Horie Yui
Leader of the Vespers, a squadron of NIKKE dedicated to high-speed hit-and-run attacks. Very passionate about reclaiming the surface for humanity.
Skill 1: SAMPU
Affects self. Activates when ammo in magazine goes down to 12 rounds. Gain Pierce until magazine empties. Damage increases (depending on skill level).
Skill 2: VVC-703PM
Activates when reloading. Fires 3 plasma missiles at targets with highest HP (deals percentage-based damage that increases depending on skill level).
Skill 3: Ortus Unleashed
All Disconnected allies return to the battle with 25% max HP.
All allies gain Indomitability for 10 seconds.
Affects self: Attack increases. Reload Speed decreases. Attacks now damage the enemy by a percentage of their max HP (Potency of attack, reload speed and percentage attack improves per level).
(Cooldown: 60s)
Laplace Strengthening:
Laplace Buster upgraded to Laplace Karasawa Buster.
Weapon mod duration now increased to 7.5 seconds.
Cannot enter cover, but generates a Plasma Shield based on 10-25% of caster's max HP that protects from damage and debuffs.
Hero Vision buff lasts for 7.5 seconds. All Hero Vision stacks at Full Burst only dispel at the end of the Laplace Karasawa Buster weapon mod.
Drake Strengthening:
Added effects to Overcharge:
Self: Increase damage to interruption parts by 11.85% (max level)
Party: Slows down target and interruption parts by 6% (max level) per bullet/pellet.
Ibis Extropia (RRI)
Pilgrim / Support / Burst III
Wind / Machine Gun (Hou Yi's Lament)
SSR
CV: Pile (Hori Eriko)
Was once a Grimms model NIKKE named Chang'e, then corrupted into a Heretic named Extropia. Now back on the side of humanity after an encounter with the Tyrant named Ibis.
Skill 1: Soaring Moon
Activates for every 100 attacks. Increase magazine size by [50-100%]. Deploy a Coral Orbit (maximum 12) that has [10-25%] damage of main weapon. Coral Orbits attach to allies once self has 4 Coral Orbits deployed (prioritizes ally with lowest max HP). Coral Orbits have [20-30%] magazine size of main weapon, and return to self to reload. Each Orbit has the same reload time as self, and can get destroyed by area of effect attacks, costing self [10-5%] max HP to redeploy. Increased magazine size lasts for 5 seconds.
Skill 2: Full Moon's Aegis
Activates when self or ally's cover is destroyed. Deploy shield with [25-40%] max HP for [10-20] seconds. Reduce number of active Coral Orbits by 2 per shield deployed. While shield is active, regenerate cover up to [25-40%] of max cover HP.
Skill 3: Ibis Full Burst
Magazine size becomes doubled. Reload speed is halved. Damage type becomes pure. Self and all Coral Orbits can bypass all enemy defenses. Deploy Coral Orbits until amount of deployed Coral Orbits are 8 (4 on self, 1 for each ally). Increase all allies attack damage by [5-10%] and an additional [5-10%] for each attached Coral Orbit. Allies with a Coral Orbit attached regains lost HP and cover HP based on [5-10%] of their damage. Lasts 10 seconds.
(Cooldown: 40s)
(NOTES: "Bypass defenses" means they will deal normal damage to units with a barrier that only allows 1 damage at a time. Magazine size increase is based on magazine size after equipment modifiers. Also, "Extropia", Chang'e's Heretic name, is based on "extropianism", a subset of transhumanist philosophy.
And for a small preview, the next three OC Nikke will be voiced by Iida Riho, Kusuda Aina and Nitta Emi.)

Your weapon preference affects initial standing with squadrons you encounter.
Balanced - Counters/Replace
MOONLIGHT - Pioneer/Inherit
Explosives - Matis
Melee - Inherit/Triangle
Shotguns - Cafe Sweety
Gatlings - Talentum
One-hit weapons - Unlimited
Location affects your starting encounter.
[X] Meadow: Snow White/Pioneer
[X] City Ruins: Exotic
[X] Forest Edge: Happy Zoo
[X] Beach: Aegis
[X] Facility Ruins: Inherit
[X] Freight Elevator: Real Kindness
[X] Structure Entrance: Counters
Your combat style affects your affinity with manufacturers.
[X] Pragmatic / MISSILIS
[X] Performative / TETRA
[X] Prudent / ELYSION
Your reason for being here determines the game's difficulty.
[X] For fun: Romp quest. Difficulty is lesser than usual.
[X] For glory: Hard quest. Difficulty is greater than usual.
[X] For booty: We just went into a pseudo Waifu Catalog mode. The better your interaction with the citizens of this world, the better rolls and bonuses you'll get.
Your build and emblem will come into play when personal combat ensues.
Since a write-in was picked for the quest difficulty, elements of all three entries will be used in the quest. Medium difficulty and medium possibility of waifus.
Also, since you are with Ayre, there is a possibility that Ayre will go and make decisions of her own, which will be indicated in the text. This goes the same for companions that you end up adding to your group.

-[X] A meadow filled with white flowers.
You come online and find yourself lying down just at the edge of a meadow, filled with white flowers. Your sensors swing around, looking for threats, but you find none that immediately ping your sensors.
You were, shortly before this event, an Augmented Human; you are still filled with humanity, even as you are just beginning to understand how Coral Release has fundamentally changed you.
-[X] Yes, the ECHO unit.
"Raven?" you hear someone's voice, and you turn around to see a white bipedal robot marked with pink accents making its way towards you. "You've woken up."
The IFF on your screen determines the identity of your companion: the Coral waveform named "Ayre", piloting her own Armored Core, one she named "ECHO".
You remember how she flew to your aid when combat was at its most dire, and the two of you fought harder than ever to ensure that Coral Release was done the correct way.
You try to move your arms, but find that you are inexplicably linked to the Armored Core you were piloting.
Whereas before, you were but an augmented human piloting an AC, now, you don't know where the AC ends and you begin. The feeling is... strange, to say the least.
Being both mecha and pilot simultaneously sounds very odd, but that is apparently what the Coral Release unleashed. You boot up your AC's computer and take an accounting of your parts...
[X] Build:
-[X] Colors:Blue, steel grey and gold
-[X] Head: HC-2000/BC SHADE EYE
-[X] Core: EL-PL-00 ALBA
-[X] Arms: EL-PL-00 ALBA
-[X] Legs: EL-PL-00 ALBA
-[X] L.Arm: IA-CO1W2-MOONLIGHT
-[X] R.Arm: Zimmerman

-[X] Generator: IB-C03G Coral Combustion Generator
-[X] Expansion: Assault Armor
...and you notice the emblems on your shoulders: the Raven, as proof of the borrowed wings which you still fly on, and G13 in honor of the Redguns.
For a moment, you wish you could have carried on differently, maybe saved some of the AC pilots from a fate they didn't deserve...
[X] Motive: To see how far we can fly on borrowed wings
You feel your borrowed wings being weighed down by the duty to carry on their legacy.
"Ayre," you say, your voice somehow being carried through the AC's commlink. "What happened?"
"We were dispersed across the galaxy," she admitted. "You don't remember?"
Flashes of memory return, as the Coral Release grows stronger, you don't notice Ayre's AC coming up to yours, holding your hand...
You flash back to the present.
"That's why we weren't separated," you think aloud. "Where are we, Ayre?"
"Hostile territory," Ayre admitted. "Long-range radar indicates the presence of hostile machine life-forms several klicks from our location... but it is good to see you up and about, Raven."
"Thanks, Ayre," you replied, and momentarily recalled your piloting style.
- [X] Prudent. Shoulder weapons for long range, then shotgun and blade for close combat.
You prime your strangely full-powered weapons to see if they still work.
"I'm sure I ran myself empty against ALLMIND," you tell Ayre. "What happened?"
Ayre had the good sense to... wait, is her AC unit blushing?
"I came online a few hours before you did," she answered. "I was able to set up a few Laser Orbits to look after you while you were out, and after scavenging a few locations, I was able to find a wrecked battlefield. Somehow, the Coral Release allowed me to transform the wreckage into materials I could use for repairs and ammunition for both my AC and yours... I hope I didn't intrude too badly on your machine, Raven."
"Thanks for that, Ayre."
PICK TWO:
[ ] "Battlefield? Did you run into any hostiles?"
[ ] "Transforming the wreckage into materials?"
[ ] "What else did you find out there? Anything of note?"
[ ] "What's being a Coral lifeform like? This is new to me."
[ ] Write-in.
***
Once the two of you had calibrated and set everything to your satisfaction, you were prepared to set out and explore the strange new world you found yourselves in.
With what little knowledge of your location known so far, you and Ayre decide upon your next course of action.
PICK ONE:
[ ] Find air support. A supply and transport chopper would do really well to navigate this place.
[ ] Find ground support. A supply facility or base would be a nice place to hole up in and fortify while you explore this place.
[ ] Find civilization. Hostile machine life forms mean civilization is highly possible; try to seek it out.
Before you enact your plans, however, you run into a strange sight.
[ ] A young woman brandishing a sword at you and Ayre defensively.
[ ] A young woman holding a huge rifle at the ready, looking at you and Ayre.

Questor's Note:
And we reveal the other half of the crossover. That's right, if you didn't get the hint in the opening post, we're smack dab in the world of "Goddess of Victory: NIKKE"!
How will 621 and Ayre navigate this dystopian world?
That will be up to you.
Also, as a side note: multiple votes by the same account across boards can and will be counted. Nuanced plans will be given more narrative weight, though. Be creative, and we'll have an interesting and fun time of this quest. Holding the fort with discussion will also help out a lot here.

Something practical about the possible enemies we'll face and something more fun / fluffy about Raven's new life as a semi-blob of energy.
Prefer setting up a home base before we start ranging out to find aerial transport.
They're probably wary since an AC sort-of resembles the enemies they fight.

Most likely Scarlet (sword) and Snow White (anti-ship rifle), who are both members of 'Goddess squad'.

The big question is how far are we in Nikke's timeline. It might be after the Overzone event but you can never be to sure.

I can tell you with absolute certainty that the Nikke with the huge rifle is NOT Red Hood.
Like why would I put the "Y.O.K.O. = You Only Kiss Once" character at the start of the quest since I didn't put it at Dark Souls mode?

Kinda curious who else could have come with us, I think I think the tetrapod Mt might have been something like liger tail?

Your curiosity is momentarily put to a stop when you see what looks like a young woman in a tattered white poncho and carrying a giant rifle at the ready, looking at you and Ayre with suspicion.
Before you tell Ayre anything, her AC's eyes light up in recognition.
"̴̗̰̂͠Õ̵̞h̵̢̀̆,̴͇͗̒ ̵͓̓͝ĩ̴̞̤t̶̛͙̅'̷̥̔̌s̴̬̯̀ ̵̪͖̽y̷̺̪̐͘ó̵̜̺u̶͓̾̄,̴͈̚"̸̢́̒ she says, and the distrust from the young woman's eyes fades somewhat.

Her voice grates on your ears somewhat, but your body betrays no reaction. It has been a very long time since you have spoken or heard someone's voice that's not in a comm or a text-to-speech function, after all.
"You two know each other?" you ask Ayre, even as your hands are in the open and your weapons are offline.
Ayre nods.
"Remember that battlefield I told you about? I saw her battling some hostiles. Looked like smaller versions of MTs. It's where I got the material to get us both back in tip-top shape!"
"And you saved her?"
"Yes. It was hard to communicate with her at first, but I found her name was S̸͕̗̽h̴̟̦̺̓́̓̈́̌ͅǐ̶̤͎̼̙̦̿ŕ̶̜̤̮̹̫̄̀̈́ǎ̴̱̹̰͈̳͑͜͝ý̸͕̬̦͕̩͘͜͜ȕ̵̡͙͉̜̝̾͗̌͋̆k̶̘̦̺̊̒̽i̷̯̰̪̠̒͠."
Even the way Ayre says her name grates at your head, and you wonder why.

Ayre looks at her, then back at you.
"Raven, have you not synchronized your waves to her voice?"
I shake my head.
"Oh, that's easy!" Ayre exclaimed. "All you need to do is... l̴̯͑î̷͇̜̑̕͝ͅs̷̭̝̞͗t̷͉̜͋̇͠͝e̸̫̓͂͝n̶̘̐̄̽."
***
Several minutes later, after Ayre tries to explain how Coral Release changed you, you try to do what she says: align your being with the sound of the woman across you.
After some attempts, you succeed. Of particular note about this young woman is...
PICK ONE:
[ ] She is similar to an Augmented Human, much like yourself.
[ ] Her limbs are similar to that of the hostile MTs she and Ayre spoke of.
***
"The designation is 621. Augmented Human 621," you tell her at last, once you've 'realigned' your voice and are able to speak again. "But please, call me 'Raven'. This is Ayre, my companion."
"The name is Snow White. Formerly of Goddess Squad."
"Nice to meet you."
"And there it is again," Snow White thought aloud. "Raptures do not have this sense of... courtesy."
PICK ONE:
[ ] "Raptures?"
[ ] "You mean those enemies Ayre saved you from?"
***
With a quick rapport established (thanks mostly to Ayre; there must be something in her that keeps Snow White from being more suspicious of the both of you), you are now on the move. Earlier, you had mentioned to Snow White that with the presence of those so-called Raptures, there should be civilization close by.
Ayre notes the brief pained expression on Snow White's face.
"All is lost, but for the Ark," she admitted. "I could vouch for you, but the presence of machines like yours would just bring attention from the Raptures. Lucky for you, I know several locations around ten klicks away that could hold you and your... what are those called?"
"Armored Cores," you and Ayre reply simultaneously.
"...Armored Cores, at least until you can secure a base of some sort. What do you need in particular?"
PICK ONE:
[ ] An easily defensible location
[ ] A location with information about this world and the Raptures
[ ] Write-in
"I can do that. Still..." Snow White replies, before her voice hardens a bit. "Because of Ayre, I am placing a lot of trust in the both of you. Please do not misuse it."
Ayre's ECHO nods solemnly.
"We'll do our best."
***
The progress you make is quick, but fraught with danger. Given your size compared to the Raptures, you stand out like a sore thumb and attract your fair share of trouble, but you end up dealing with threats easily, because of...
PICK ONE:
[ ] You and Ayre have a portable fabricator that turns enemy Raptures into material for repairs and ammunition
[ ] Snow White is extremely efficient at taking out enemy Raptures
Still, that is not the biggest surprise you have come upon in your sojourn into this new world so far. That would be...
PICK ONE:
[ ] Snow White tried to hitch a ride inside ECHO, but found the cockpit empty.
[ ] Snow White tried to hitch a ride inside Voyager, but found the cockpit empty.
[ ] Snow White figures out that you and Ayre are also some kind of machine-based life-form, just by looking at you.
Even then, the journey continues, and you finally make your way to your target location after some time, thanks to Snow White's guidance. The information about your desired location had been right on the money, and the Raptures guarding it were dealt with easily.
The two of you scout the place out once it's cleared, and it looks like she really did help you out tremendously; this location is perfect for your base.
Now that you're here, it's time to really gather your bearings about this world.
Prioritize TWO choices below:
[ ] Investigate your surroundings
[ ] Establish base defenses (you will need an Engineer for this to work better)
[ ] Triangulate your (cosmological) location (you will need a Pioneer for this to work better)
[ ] Commence research (you will need a Researcher or Scientist for this to work better)
[ ] Something else (write-in)
***
Finally, we shift to someone else's point of view (pick one):
[ ] The Abnormal Survivor (no, this does not change the Quest to 'can I play, Daddy' mode by adding Chirico Cuvie)
[ ] The Transcriber
[ ] The Pioneer and Guide
[ ] The Rebel Without A Cause
[ ] The Ashen One

Ayre looks at her, then back at you.
"Raven, have you not synchronized your waves to her voice?"
I shake my head.
"Oh, that's easy!" Ayre exclaimed. "All you need to do is... l̴̯͑î̷͇̜̑̕͝ͅs̷̭̝̞͗t̷͉̜͋̇͠͝e̸̫̓͂͝n̶̘̐̄̽."
***
Several minutes later, after Ayre tries to explain how Coral Release changed you, you try to do what she says: align your being with the sound of the woman across you.
After some attempts, you succeed. Of particular note about this young woman is...
PICK ONE:
[ ] She is similar to an Augmented Human, much like yourself.
[ ] Her limbs are similar to that of the hostile MTs she and Ayre spoke of.
***
"The designation is 621. Augmented Human 621," you tell her at last, once you've 'realigned' your voice and are able to speak again. "But please, call me 'Raven'. This is Ayre, my companion."
"The name is Snow White. Formerly of Goddess Squad."
"Nice to meet you."
"And there it is again," Snow White thought aloud. "Raptures do not have this sense of... courtesy."
PICK ONE:
[ ] "Raptures?"
[ ] "You mean those enemies Ayre saved you from?"
***
With a quick rapport established (thanks mostly to Ayre; there must be something in her that keeps Snow White from being more suspicious of the both of you), you are now on the move. Earlier, you had mentioned to Snow White that with the presence of those so-called Raptures, there should be civilization close by.
Ayre notes the brief pained expression on Snow White's face.
"All is lost, but for the Ark," she admitted. "I could vouch for you, but the presence of machines like yours would just bring attention from the Raptures. Lucky for you, I know several locations around ten klicks away that could hold you and your... what are those called?"
"Armored Cores," you and Ayre reply simultaneously.
"...Armored Cores, at least until you can secure a base of some sort. What do you need in particular?"
PICK ONE:
[ ] An easily defensible location
[ ] A location with information about this world and the Raptures
[ ] Write-in
"I can do that. Still..." Snow White replies, before her voice hardens a bit. "Because of Ayre, I am placing a lot of trust in the both of you. Please do not misuse it."
Ayre's ECHO nods solemnly.
"We'll do our best."
***
The progress you make is quick, but fraught with danger. Given your size compared to the Raptures, you stand out like a sore thumb and attract your fair share of trouble, but you end up dealing with threats easily, because of...
PICK ONE:
[ ] You and Ayre have a portable fabricator that turns enemy Raptures into material for repairs and ammunition
[ ] Snow White is extremely efficient at taking out enemy Raptures
Still, that is not the biggest surprise you have come upon in your sojourn into this new world so far. That would be...
PICK ONE:
[ ] Snow White tried to hitch a ride inside ECHO, but found the cockpit empty.
[ ] Snow White tried to hitch a ride inside Voyager, but found the cockpit empty.
[ ] Snow White figures out that you and Ayre are also some kind of machine-based life-form, just by looking at you.
Even then, the journey continues, and you finally make your way to your target location after some time, thanks to Snow White's guidance. The information about your desired location had been right on the money, and the Raptures guarding it were dealt with easily.
The two of you scout the place out once it's cleared, and it looks like she really did help you out tremendously; this location is perfect for your base.
Now that you're here, it's time to really gather your bearings about this world.
Prioritize TWO choices below:
[ ] Investigate your surroundings
[ ] Establish base defenses (you will need an Engineer for this to work better)
[ ] Triangulate your (cosmological) location (you will need a Pioneer for this to work better)
[ ] Commence research (you will need a Researcher or Scientist for this to work better)
[ ] Something else (write-in)
***
Finally, we shift to someone else's point of view (pick one):
[ ] The Abnormal Survivor (no, this does not change the Quest to 'can I play, Daddy' mode by adding Chirico Cuvie)
[ ] The Transcriber
[ ] The Pioneer and Guide
[ ] The Rebel Without A Cause
[ ] The Ashen One
