The simulator's sensors cannot detect changes inside an Impeller Field unless you specifically set your Impeller Field to block nothing at all, which is rather hard. That's why Koujirou managed to accidentally his everything with G forces whereas if his Impeller was down, the Simulator would promptly engage safeties and stop any harm at all coming to him. It engaged safeties after his Impeller went down and it detected the injuries in his body.

As for whether Anna was crying or had popped her eyeballs from high speed maneuvers, well... *spaghetti arms* I dunno, don't look at me, I'm just an ol GM, teasing my readers...

A thumbs up gesture.

Anna took the Protag's hidden ultimate desperation attack...

and broke it with a *like*.

Koujirou updated his status: I learned my Valk Frame's name!
Anna Sanchez and 3 other people like this. Be the first of your friends to like this.

Is it just me or does anyone else read this as Kandakara going "...well if you can deflect that with your thumb I guess I can concede defeat."

She grabs onto your shoulder, sparks racing under her fingers and stares into your helmet, for a moment, her eyes widen, then she sets her expression and continues talking, "Anna, trust me, Parks never lies no matter what circumstances, and her diagnostics are always spot on. Koujirou will be awake by tomorrow evening. It wasn't your fault that he was injured, and he's not really hurt."
She faces you, looking up straight at you again, staying silent for a moment, "Koujirou will be fine Valkyrie, but you need to fix your eyes. Don't greet him with that kind of face. Make sure to get some sleep."

She turns away at that and you wonder briefly what she was talking-

Oh, right. You quickly set Durga to repairing your eyeballs, then retract your frame when you are done.

...I can't help but think the light from the Kusanagi burned out Anna's eyes or something like that. I know it can't have since that would be tripped the Simulator as "Damage by Kojirou" but still...

Maybe Anna pushed herself too hard again and burst a bunch of blood vessels in her eyeballs? Would explain the look, because holy crap your eyes are full of blood, and why it didn't cause Anna to fail, because she caused the damage to herself.

Since we've got you here, how the hell did you intend to play that for laughs?
Well, you know, it was supposed to be the thing where Koujirou just looks forlornly at his broken sword, and ... you know, typing this directly without a narrative container makes it so inappropriate and bluntly unhumourous that I think it would violate the CC so I'll just say that it was rather freudian.

Anyway, I looked at my scene and why specifically Koujirou would be passing out, then at the backgrounds of the characters who were with him and I realised that absolutely no way would Yukari or Anna be okay with what was happening. The tone promptly blackened and I found myself writing a rather serious scene rather than a humourous one.

That be some bullshit, iNeverAskedForThis.jpg

Oh and you must have been giggling when I guessed the boob grab, way off.

I was rather flummoxed to be sure, it was so far off the mark.

I would assume that part of the simulator involves it asking your valk core to give it status info- kinda like how the instructors know when Koujirou disabled his safeties. Now obviously your core can fake that data (which Koujirou's would totally have been doing), but I would assume Anna would be sending data to the sim about that.

If not, then how the heck can the simulator even have an 'any damage' condition, as it wouldn't be able to detect anything until the impeller field's fully broken.

The simulator cannot detect damage inside the impeller field. so it had no way of knowing the conditions of her eyes.

I think "any" damage means both "non negligible" damage and "negligible" damage to the impeller field are fail conditions. Like when we were hit in the first simulation.
 
Question! We didn't gain any character relevance point for this fight? I would have thought our prestation would have earned us one at least.

I'm not actually quite sure what you are asking exactly so this might be off the mark but;

The... consistency I suppose would be the best word for it, of an Impeller Field changes as it waxes and wanes in strength, and the simulator constantly observes that to predict when Impeller Failure is about to occur and acts to prevent outside forces from damaging a Valkyrie upon the failure of their Impeller, but that's a rather bit off from the point of the question.

The simulator can detect "Any Damage" through simply functioning. The Simulator is perfectly aware of everything inside the sim space barring what is wrapped up in an Impeller Field and things such as Higgs distortions. If you shoot something and it leaves the confines of your Impeller field, the Simulator will know everything about it and if it impacts another Valkyrie's Impeller Field, then that's damage which has been done to them. Now there are a complex series of rules regarding how indirect is too indirect but ricocheting a piece of debris into someone's head with a cannon round is treated differently from pulsing your engines once which disrupts the air enough to eventually form a tornado on the other side of the sim space.

Things like Yukari's Impeller Whips have to have special programming entered into the Simulator because anything encased in Impeller is treated as Frame components proper, otherwise you would have lost by deflecting them.
Question! We didn't gain any character relevance point for this fight? I would have thought our prestation would have earned us one at least.
Lemme just cash that in for you (i.e brb editing character sheets and stuff.)

Wow, i know Anna is a freaking monster but holy crap, this is beyond what i thought.

I mean, fucking Armstrong need to catch Raiden's blade to break it But Anna swung her thumb upwards to do the same thing. I can't, that's bloody, holy shit. Jesus, the monster really earned the place as monster.

"She has some form of energy dynamo on the surface of her frame! She's just letting the laser attacks through her Impeller! That's insane!" Yukari gasps over the comms.
Nope. Solar panels!
Anna flies, almost leisurely, up and out of the cloud, a swarm of inert missiles orbiting her frame.
Nope. Also, Anna is bullshit. Her guns are bullshit, her sensors are bullshit, her SIGINT is bullshit, her infowar is bullshit, her maneuvering is bullshit -
Shouldn't you have hit her Impeller Field by now?
NOPE LOL
Anna glances down at her raised arm then back up at you thoughtfully, before raising her other arm to mirror the gesture, giving you a double thumbs up. "…That one counts. You won. Good job."
Yep. Bread-chan approves!

You know. I think Kojirou's suit, Kandakara, is one of those missing 300 suits. We're told early on:
Agreed, well spotted. These two quotes:
Are the frame looking at Kojirou and going "Oh, maybe you are worthy...".

Which WoG post was the one which said what events where which episode? Can't find it.
I think I'll just repost it and link it on the front page. Again, my notes tend to be written in a rather eccentric manner, don't worry too much about what's here.

Episode 1: (OP, Post 1 - 4) Arrival, assembly, dinner and evening sim prac, first time Valk equipping and battle against Setsuna.

Episode 2: (Post 5) Class, 'miring Shuri, Lunch, prac class, get yelled at, evening relax.

Episode 4: (Post 8 - 11) Chatting with new possible flight members, Anna flies away on travellator, chatting with Sandra during lunch about flights, Setsuna jealous of Sandra's ohohoho, Simulator target ID practice and all the missiles, readying for sim against Anna

Episode 5 (Posts 12 & 13): sim practice with Anna, all the budget, Instructors hate her! Valkyrie Kills 10000 Antagonists per month with this one simple trick (it's a Dream sequence),
Do you wish for power? Come take it of your own accord. Congratulations you have unlocked Murakumo Lvl 2- *Anna interrupt*, Awkward greetings, leave infirmary *Mission impossible theme plays*, "Stop the robot HAL" *Mission impossible INTENSIFIES*, Oh hey Shuri mind hiding me?,

Episode 6 (13, 14, ???): "hide you-?' "Sure, lunch practice in the sims," "Sandra plz", 1v1s? Bring it on!, "Alright Shuri, here I come! Oww my thumb!" "…" "Okay, again! Oww my thumb!" "…What are you doing Rokusabe?" "Wait wait wait, I got this. Again! Oww my thumb!" "If you are not going to take this seriously-" "No Shuri plz, Anna did this totally cool thing that I want to learn." "Anna did what? Show me." *Chatting with Shuri, hey wanna join my flight, MC powers activate, sure why not.* (Well technically you all joined Shuri's flight but it's okay.) The central cast waifu faceoff

Episode 7 (14): Trying out new frames, ow why can't I use this frames good? Maybe this one? Nope. Maybe this one? Nope. Maybe this one? Nope. Sim failures, class goes woaw anna is an ace, Sandra to the social rescue! Sandra saving the anime! Evening talking, Sandra continues to style all over everyone else in terms of personality, Time for Alaskan Offensive! Backstory time, blah blah blah, great battle, blah blah blah, camera does the zoom from orbit thing to the flight, alright let's go!

Epsode 8 (15): Montage of military doing military things, shots of space warfare, shots of aerial battles over Aleutians, Navy transports going hard across the ocean, Yukari flashbacks, cryptic internal monologue, Valkyries breaking through AG lines, Aeon, Sekhmet doing violent things, Yukari Cameo! Anna Cameo! Camera does the zooming thing over thousands of kilometers to the Flight. Flight sets off. Exciting things! More exciting things waow. Oh shit tunnels with flying units. Tactical NIPPON BANZAI! Onee sama the best. Raksha, Herakles also doing violent things. Simulation end, great success! Goodnight Anna! Alright, let's calm down and get to less hectic scenario... And that's all for tonight and we suddenly meet someone rude; "Hey, sure you want to stick with Rokusabe and Kravala? Average turnover rate for Valks in their flights are pretty high, and I'm not talking about washouts here." "Ignore her I'll deal with her later," more omnious background hints etc.

Episode 9 (15, 16) Friday friday, gotta get down on friday. Close range season. Long range season. Close range season. Long range season! Infodump time! Tradeoff of long range vis a vis short range combat. It's dead even! "You need skill to make close range combat work." Critical hit! I think we might have a KO here ladies and gents! Yukari joins the main characters if she hasn't already lol I don't remember. Leadership! Do you have what it takes? Anna goes AWOL again lol. Shuri also AWOL. Well anything you want to work on? Close range season! You want to rematch? Alright, a preview of the vanguard tournament then! Oooh he's closing the distance! TACTICAL NIPPON BANZAI vs FLAMING RIDER KICK! It's a tie!" Alright Koujirou! Don't get too cocky now! I'll see you crash and burn in the tournament just you wait!" Time for training montage-and it's time for the beginning of the Vanguard tournament!

Episode 10: (???) -and it's time for the beginning of the Vanguard tournament! Oh look at all these matches, but it turns out they were replays. Screen pulls away, it's professor Onee sama helping Koujirou with tactics against the other competitors. Lets watch the previous matches and analyse our competition! We have a look at the tournament bracket and most threatening is Syifa, what do?



EDIT: This is my 666th message on SV, episode 6 might be about to start, Anna started with 6 character relevance, illuminati confirmed.

Maybe it was the distance screwing with your camera, or the sim was hiccupping or something, but there seemed to be a faint black mist surrounding her frame, expanding like it was bleeding into the air around it.

"She has some form of energy dynamo on the surface of her frame! She's just letting the laser attacks through her Impeller! That's insane!" Yukari gasps over the comms.

Heh, more awesomeness from Anna, I like!

There is a very conspicuous area where there were no explosions at all.

Anna flies, almost leisurely, up and out of the cloud, a swarm of inert missiles orbiting her frame.

"That's-! No way," Yukari splutters out before she regains her composure, "Set missiles to non-networked mode."

"Holy crap, she managed to jack our missiles without warning," mutters Setsuna.

Yep, the extreme level of hijacking capability that was shown at the last update has been fully confirmed, Anna is totally OP!

She had been flying along your blade arc, accelerating fast enough that she outran your swing. She had been holding back the whole time. She could have ditched all her extended components then played keep away forever.

She had not even turned her head to look at you once through the whole encounter. No, she doesn't need to look at anything. There was nothing down in this banal world that reflected in her eyes. What need was there when she has skill so prescient, so overwhelming, that it is transcendent? Anna was beyond quantification.

It's called being peerless. Maybe one day, you'll get here too, if you trained non-stop for years against continuous amounts of antagonists every frigging day...

Anna floats in front of you, one arm raised, thumb extending skywards.

[...Alright.]

You simply blink, trying to process what had just happened. Your vision swimming and darkening even more at the edges didn't help.

… Did she just break Murakumo and avoid your strike by flicking and breaking the blade at its base with her thumb as you were swinging?

Good job Kojirou! Yes! you almost touched her! congratulations! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Both shoulders dislocated, pelvis fracture, bruises up the entire length of both arms- you cut the information feed and scan his head.

His brain was… unharmed. No burst vessels, blood pressure, pulse, flow, all normal. You check over his internals. Digestive track intact, all major circulatory vessels intact. You hiss out a sigh of relief.

Koujirou's frame retracts back into storage at that, thin rivets of blood running from the corners of his eyes and from his nose, skin pale. -It was too unreal-

He looked like a- a corpse. You hands jerk and clench, trying to find something to do, you had to do something, you didn't carry any medical components. What are you going to do? You had to do something. What are you going to do? You had to do something. What are you going to do? You had to do something. What-

Dammit Koujirou, Anna did not need this to trigger her trauma you total idiot... Ah well, at least now Anna will be more important than ever since she'll probably watch over him even closer to prevent things like this from happening, and he will have to make it up to her in some way for worrying her so badly.

She faces you, looking up straight at you again, staying silent for a moment, "Koujirou will be fine Valkyrie, but you need to fix your eyes. Don't greet him with that kind of face. Make sure to get some sleep."

She turns away at that and you wonder briefly what she was talking-

Oh, right. You quickly set Durga to repairing your eyeballs, then retract your frame when you are done.

*sniff* It's nothing, my eyes just needs some repairs, damn salty water clogging up the mk1 eyeball... Oh Anna...

Shuri is probably going to think we've finally come to agree with her on how to train people. "Anna finally starts training her flight and the first session ends with two unconscious and one of them in the infirmary? What is she... WAIT, she got the neophyte to achieve V-max? Clearly I've been going too easy on my flight!"
 
You and Setsuna accept quickly, but Anna takes a moment, then adds another rule.

>Group 2 Loss Conditions: Taking any damage from Rokusabe Koujirou<
...
Wow. Rude.
*Shots Fired*

Excellent fight - seems to me that of the three of them Yukari was the most off-balanced by Anna's tricks. Probably a combination of exposure (the kids are a little more used to Anna being on a different level to them) and lack of experience (Koji and Setsu are new to the game, so any trick Anna pulls off gets a 'wow, didn't know she could do that' as opposed to Yukari's greater experience giving her the context to know precisely how bullshit HAX Anna truly is).

And all that was without access to Higgs or Teleport.

Just ... wow.

Please tell me that was recorded somewhere so that everyone can utterly lose their shit at the Thumbs-Up-Of-Ultimate-Power - those reactions never get old!

you didn't carry any medical components.
And yeah, this oversight will never be occurring again - make a note to eat some First-Aid books for a start and go from there until satisfied that she can keep people alive until the pros get there.

Also, was wondering about why Durga sounded familiar:
Maa Durga is the embodiment of 'Shakti', a culmination of the powers vested in the Hindu Gods. In Hinduism, worship of Durga has been associated with the annihilation of evil powers and rise above the negative energies associated with the anger, greed, lust, egoism and pride.

Goddess Durga, also known as Parvati is the consort of Lord Shiva. It is said that the Goddess Shakti takes on different forms such as Kali, Chandi or Durga to fight the demons. She is the power behind all creation, preservation and destruction in the Universe. Goddess Durga has been worshipped as the supreme power of God (Shakti) for time immemorial with special mention in scriptures such as the Yajur Veda, Vajasaneyi Samhita and Taittareya Brahman.

'Durga' is derived from a Sanskrit word meaning the 'invincible'. Literally translated, Durga means a fort that is difficult to overcome. A more elaborate meaning of Durga is 'du'-'r'-'ga' or the destroyer of all evils and diseases.

Now if you don't mind, I have Se-Tsun's Frame to figure out.
