That looks so fucking awesome, I apparently made the mistake that Durga was black and red though.I might have to forget the whole "wings of fire" thing, which is sad, but it doesn't work with the jetpack's directions.

And I think that's incorrect;
From this we see that Shuri is widening her field to provide cover, while Anna is matching speed without that benefit, and leaving almost no visible trail even while right next to a Valkyrie's sensors.
This does bring new light to a part of the simulator training:
I really didn't think about when reading it the first time, but the beams in this case start interacting with matter only after penetrating the ground, right?
Huh, well Anna's criticisms of the simulator seem even more unjust now.

But it was supposed to stop us from destroying everything, It isn't as if every time another Valkyrie pulls the trigger of their rocket launcher, the rockets actually fire in the sim chamber.
Probably as intended for armor piercing particle beams. Beams which interact violently on surface contact make pretty shitty weapons, as the plasma or debris cloud causes scatter in the beam. But if it gets INSIDE, then even scatter just adds to damage
I disagree in a -5 world, Anna would have fully integrated into Durga's systems. In that case I doubt we'd be witnessing an arguably worse case scenario in a brighter world.I have a hunch. I'm sure someone else must have had it before me.
Note that Anna's never had a real medical checkup since the UN found her.
I don't think that the Anna you control in this thread really is her. I think that the Suit is the character we're controling, that the little voice that leaves messages for us is part of all that remains of her.
Which leads to the following bad end if it's true... Someone or something forces Anna to desynth, leaving a body who's mind is still that of a little girl (maybe leaving no memories from after she found the suit in the first place). This would be what I'd expect if Anna became the OTP.
(edit) Ah, yes. Not the only one indeed.

Speaking of space-magic, here is my bet on what the Static Wave looks like. Except on much, much larger scale, based on the descriptions and hints we have been getting.
Well, no actually. If it works with the usual Sphere of Destruction trope-mechanics, anything outside Static Wave's radius is likely mostly spared barring any secondary effects from caused by it. And we have WoG description of the minimum scales it works on (or the only scale, if Anna can't adjust its yield/size/whatever). Not quite "Alaska has ceased to exist", but still kind of jaw dropping:
Actually, Durga is a perfectly normal Valk Core. Anything it can do, a regular Core can (theoretically) also do. The difference is, of course, hours synced.
It doesn't.
The Valkyrie watching Anna's original demonstration of Wave Force in Alaska, who was presumably at least an Elite to have the clearance to know Wave Force existed and might have been an Ace, was behind her, some distance away, and behind metal walls, and had to flee for her life because merely being in the same general vicinity as a coherent Wave is enough to wreck a high-level Valkyrie's Impeller field.
Thanks. Didn't remember it was already described that accurately. So, not exactly good-old Sphere of Destruction, but expanding area of space that is compressing on itself, with the ground zero of it being an instant-death zone, with enough distance away from it being 'only' extremely damaging to Impeller field -equipped units (and likely still a spaghetifying experience to any unit without one).
