Nice description of the fishing class. Something horrible made picturesque by time. A city under the sea... And then the gut punch with Leonhart, ow.

Somehow, I didn't expect the elite Valkyrie corps to be a microcosm of high school. I'm not sure why.

She is, but I don't think it's at the point where the potential downsides outweigh the benefits. Besides, I think that Anna's technical knowledge combined with her deadpan delivery could prove both informative and funny - particularly if she has a competent partner.

We have time to do either later so right now, let's look at a worst case.

Anna triggers worse than she ever has before. She arms up and charges into the arena, guns blazing. The sims have safeties to keep high-level weaponry from being used. The instructors are monitoring the fights and will come teleporting in the second it looks like we're actually going to hurt someone. Anna is a badass, but I doubt that even at her worst she'll be able to kill someone before breaking back out of it. 'Never hurt humans' is practically her creed. Her friends screaming at her to stop, her enemies A) not looking like Antags and B) not engaging as they should, several skilled and powerful instructors jumping in to shield everyone, all that is likely to break her out of any bad episode she's having before fatalities occur.

Property damage and minor wounds are irrelevant from a meta perspective. We can rebuild a lot of it ourselves, as we've already proven, and Valks can apparently regrow limbs with almost no difficulty. If we're going to get PTSD help, let it be because we triggered in front of the MC and made a huge, highly memorable scene, not because we accidentally got too hardcore during a sim like we've done multiple times in the past. Going too extreme is practically Anna's thing by now.

Watching the fight makes us relevant. Being broken makes us interesting. For the moment, we need those more than we need the safety of being mentally stable.

In terms of stress to Anna, watching will likely be the same as commentating. In terms of external problems caused, I agree with @Bludflag that there's a difference, but I'm not sure it's such a negative one.

Are you seriously suggesting that using her ocular organs whilst cheering her teammates on is the same as in depth analysis of other people's combat capabilities?

The options we picked during the timeskip, while strategically invaluable and also good for personal development, took us away from the MC. Remember: we are a supporting character in someone else's story. For right now the MC is where the 'true' action is, so we need to make sure we stay connected to that. To get a spinoff of our own we'll need to be interesting and independent enough to deserve it, and most of our actions during the timeskip were great for that. Time to plug ourselves back into the 'plot' and sponge off that sweet, sweet MC spotlight. If we crash and burn, so what? Failure will result in either humor or drama, both of which will make us more interesting and relevant. In terms of our quest to be the best waifu, the only wrong course of action is one that keeps us in the background.

PTSD is a valid concern, but in terms of overall objective, I think we may actually want to stay broken for now. Broken people are interesting and need a nice, helpful hero to fix them. A hero like the MC. Once he gets us on the road to repair, we can start actively working to solve our PTSD and all will be well. For now, with the many people around us and the various safeties in place the current risk of collateral damage is very minor, so I think we'll be fine.

I don't know if you missed it, but people aren't aiming to land Kojirou with Anna, the Amazonian Waifu. They're trying to land her her own anime, which they intend to get via supreme dakka.
 
The months of waiting.
They have been well spent.

That update took most of a good hour to read. Wow.

Au contraire; she has already done so.

Born in 2054, you came into the world merely three years before the Antagonists became active. Isolated as it was, your town did not even hear of the frantic evacuations that were carried out as the Antagonists swarmed out from Cincinnati and Denver major Breaches.

In that same year of 2061 as the Denver Major Breach crushed Anchorage, all but pushing humanity off the North American Continent and established the Fairbanks Minor Breach, you found a Valkyrie core and as luck would have it, found yourself compatible.

For about a year afterwards, you simply went around town, using the frame to offer utilities and repairs, abruptly improving quality of life as plumbing and electricity supply was restored in some parts of the town. Despite the occasional refugees that stumbled in, rambling of aliens, this was the happiest time of your life, especially after finding a few light aircraft allowed you to fly.

This short golden period, isolated from the outside world, did not last. The Saskatoon Minor Breach was established by the Cincinnati Major Breach in 2062.

Probing attacks reached the town within the year. Despite the reluctance of the adults to let a eight year old girl fight for them, they soon were forced to by pragmatism as it is shown you are the only one who can take and return strikes on the same level as what the aliens could.

For a short while, the town rallied, digging defences and reinforcing their homes, and you with them, but the arrival of enemy air units cut such endeavours short, as you were the only one who could drive them from the sky.

The attacks continued.

As the attack mounted, so did the casualties and fear. You were soon left as the only one who dared walk in the streets at night. People retreated to their basements, hiding from the sky. The sense of community was fractured by this isolation and the pressure mounted.

Food became scarce as many farmers from the outer farms fled to the town center, leaving the few hydroponics cells that you had set up, what few people who dared hunt and the fewer still who stayed on their farms as the only source of food.

The attacks continued.

You were not sure when it began, but people looked for something to blame, a reason for their suffering. Originally held up as a saviour, you were accused of being a harbinger, some form of demon that attracted the attackers along with the refugees who had arrived more recently. The town fractured further as those who wanted the safety of your presence were set against the ones who believed you were some form of lure. While the arguments ran on, you began patrolling further and further around the outskirts, doing your best to intercept any attacks before the reached the town.

The attacks continued.

Casualties still mounted from the ones you missed, slowly chipping away at the remaining humans. You extended your patrols longer and further to reduce the number of those which might have slipped past your net. One day you returned to find several people, refugees whom had sought shelter in the town some years back, lynched and on public display, an offering of appeasement to the attackers. Your longer patrols ensuring less invaders attacked the town only convinced the fringe group that they were justified. The town cracked in two, the refugees and those who supported you against those who now saw you as a reason for the invaders.

The attacks continued.

Now beyond the view of the town, you still fought on to protect the town and the people, but you knew that the current state of affairs could not hold, you began looking for the source of these creatures.

A breach was enormous and obvious, you did not have to search long, but as you returned, you found the town on fire, humans killing humans, finishing in a few days what the invaders had been working towards for seven years. The insane group bore down on those under your protection. Man gives innumerable prayers to Heaven for salvation. Heaven replies with nothing but death to recompense Man. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill.

You put an end to the fighting the only way you knew how.

You left for the Saskatoon Breach after promising the remaining people of your town that they would be all safe.

The attacks ceased.

You were late.

To the depths of despair, I have been sent.
No one was saved, and to their graves, perished and dead.
All on my head.
Because of me.
Those I have failed, feel my betrayal.
The final nail, hammered by me.​

I think Anna could be a good commentator if she's paired with someone capable of pulling things along and keeping the energy of the commentary up. She would be a good technical balance to an experienced color commentator.

Avalanche said:
With a silent snarl of frustration on your face, you retract your medical module, with so many biological abnormalities simultaneously occurring, the use of chemical remedies are out of the question and appropriate nanomachines would take too long to manufacture. Your Impeller suffuses the Instructor, easily pushing through her still weak field and you manually correct some of the major issues, manually resetting her heart activity, reinflating her lungs and reopening several major blood vessels that had collapsed and removing clots. If this was your own body, you could have resolved every issue with your Impeller, but lacked the complete awareness that you would have of your own body and you dared not use high band scans on an exposed human body, Valkyrie or not. Your Impeller is also obstructed from forming a higher fidelity picture of the Instructor's body by her Impeller as it constantly regenerates and the two fields clash.

Avalanche said:
Having access to the standard loadout of either twenty eight, eighty kiloton Casaba fission HYWs or six, twenty megaton nuclear fusion HYWs that the UN offered for Aces in deep deployment missions would greatly simplify your methods. Previously, to generate explosions of that magnitude and power, you had to either consume multiple Types in a row for Higgs or bait Type Tens into activating their self destruct then teleport them to where you wanted the explosion. Neither method is very efficient at all, while the presence of Types guarding such fabrication facilities was almost guaranteed, the most common Type Sixteens held very little Higgs reserves and the most convenient of them, the Type Tens, were very rarely present in the labyrinthine tunnel networks that held the majority of the more important Antagonist structures.

Mission-? Wait!" Yukari lands in front of you, blocking the doorway, "What mission, Anna? Don't leave me behind, I'm going too."

"Mission?" asks Setsuna, jogging down the hill to catch up.

"A non-combat humanitarian aid mission," you answer, forwarding the message to the two, shooting a curious look Yukari's way. As a Third Year, she should have also received Sandra's message, right?

Yukari's face goes through a range of emotions as you watch on, features twisting into something dark before she seems to deflate, looking crestfallen.

This is going to be a big plot element. And there's at least seven ways it could be done. I don't even care which happens as long as senpai is the one writing it.

Called it. Not in thread, unfortunately.

Avalanche said:
However… a quick review of previously done work demonstrates a huge discrepancy of currently committed construction forces with those the economic power the UN has historically demonstrated. Even accounting for losses, the UN is short of at least a quarter of its construction capacity. Despite careful scouring, you can't appear to find those missing assets. Also, in spite of materials production increasing steadily, the relative lack of active construction has not resulted in a corresponding surplus of materials. As far as you can tell, the materials are simply missing.

"Plot element."

Avalanche said:
Your maximum Impeller range from expressed frame components is around one hundred meters, but your practical total reach with your Impeller is very easy to increase due to Durga's properties.

Durga's underlayers drip out, thin tendrils of material spreading outward. Using it only to expand your peripheral Impeller range like so, you keep the tendrils thin enough that they should be invisible from the ground. Your range expands until you are encompassing the entire town. You reach down towards the docks with one tendril and you take part of the the construction materials into your storage.

Buuuuuuullllshiiiiiiiiit. The fact that senpai can write something this incredible while simultaneously giving me a month's worth of plotlines for Gaiden is amazing.

Avalanche said:
As you do this, you consider how to deal with the water lines. With your Impeller spread so thin at the edges of your range, you can't control your storage sufficiently to guarantee that you won't introduce impurities if you try to channel the water through your storage. Right then, you will open up gaps into the underground piping and use your Impeller as a temporary plumbing system while you set the new pipes in place. Then when the new pipes are in place, you'll seal the new system as your Impeller carries the water parallel with new system until the water is again at full pressure, when you'll seal the pipes after injecting the surplus water still carried by your Impeller back into the system.

That was already in the plans, yeah.

Avalanche said:
You extend additional tendrils from Durga's underlayers, concentrating your Impeller with far more strength onto the surrounding hillside and reshape the hills. You deepen the creeks above the town until you lead them into tunnels, which you connect with the existing drains and then create a set of parallel drainage channels. For the moment, you compress and heat- then cool some of the displaced soil on the border of the tunnels until a border of glassy smooth igneous rock supports the roof. The support the rock provides is… sufficient, but a little thin, so you set your fabricator to work on creating a bonding agent to further reinforce the soil around the new tunnels.
