Battle Action Harem Highschool Side Character Quest (No SV, you are the Waifu)

Why not. Anna has experience of being the objects of rumors and speculation. She has not directly interacted with the student body much at all. Being a commentator would essentially let everyone get a taste of her personality. It is not being viewed from afar. The fact that it scares her is good reason for her confront such a position.

Said experience being pretty much all negative is not an issue to you I suppose? Seriously, it's a lot better for Anna that everyone doesn't know her except by the vaguest of rumours, so that she can interact with them without the charge and prejudice of being anything more than an unusually skilled student. I know there's a lot of people that want to cure Anna's issues through forcing her to get through some high pressure situations and show her that she can take it.

Frankly, that sounds like a terrible idea to me. It'd be much better to get her a taste of what's normal and right so she has some idea on how things are supposed to be going in the first place, instead of doing to social equivalent of sink or swim.

The character sheets are full of spoilers, so try not to spoil yourself.

I'm pretty sure that it started on the third tread, but I'm not really sure because I'm reading the entire thing.

Oh, hey, Avalanche is capable of retroactively making me feel sad.

I dunno why I thought this quest would be cheerful when it came to backgrounds. "Half of humanity killed in the first few months" should have tipped me off, but nope, I was a complete moron.

Ah, Sage. *nods*

I didn't bother reading the non-story posts for that, never getting into it like DE, CORE or the recent Rise.

Sage actually scuttled the "waifu-wars" in CORE when he voted for a candidate, which caused her to win over what was otherwise the fan-favourite. There was much drama after that for quite a while.

Technically speaking, she doesn't have any trauma particularly about Valkyrie on Valkyrie combat.

2070 world population is 1.2 billion, with a 3% per annum birth rate. In the past 58 years, not only has human population been cut to about a sixth of its former size, but an extremely high birth rate has failed to significantly raise world population. So yeah, most people have lost one or several close friends and relatives. For the older population, likely most of the people they knew have died. For someone alive at Impact, even if young, I'd be surprised if anyone they knew at the time survived.

Well, it's more likely people survive in groups. Like, one family might get wiped out when a town is massacred, while another might successfully evacuate in full because they lived very close to the building site of an arcology. Everyone will know someone who died, but sole survivors may be rarer.

More likely is that vast swathes of territory were nearly completely depopulated (just look at the European North Sea coastal area) during and immediately following impact and the loss of the foodsupply killed most of the remainder. And it's quite possible that there was a nasty war between China and India following the loss of everyone but China on the UN Security Council's Permanent Membership list. They've both got nukes.

However, other regions were left largely intact aside from the loss of communications and supply lines and their knock on effects.
 
Huh... I've just finished reading article about quantum gravity, and came back to this quest... And I have an observation:

Anna's great, incredible advantage that let her develop Wave Force in first place is her ability to visualize exotic physics. Scientists use math, complex equations, abstract on level that diverges them from any real meaning. They are trying, doing mathematical transformations in hope to find a patten, any pattern, that would bring them closer to truth. All while numbers and equation have no true meaning at all, outside of being numbers and equations. They have to do it this way, since they cannot imagine system they are trying to describe.

Anna can. Even when in form of math, she have an instinct that allows her to feel if it's right of wrong, without needing for laborious search for evidence that would falsify her idea.

I believe it means that Anna could try to experiment in more efficient way than she is doing now. What she is currently doing is adjusting equations. It is what scientists do blindly searching for truth. But what if she tried to imagine it instead? The way she did when she developed Wave Force in the first place? Would that not be more effective? She have an instinct. She developed and understands her attack in a way no amount of math can match. She can keep in mind image of what she is doing, she understand all those insane interactions between impeller and physical laws. Even if she is unable to put it into words.

Using analogy, it is like being in room filled with wonders. Math will allow you plot safe course towards set goal. It's what the math do. But if you look around, and see the room, you can gain so much more! Wonders are there lying at hand reach - if only you are able to see them.

Anna can.


Anyway, I'm wondering about possible derivative technique, inspired by "Time is running out." - please tell me if it was answered before.

Would it be possible to speed-up time within Valkyrie frame? The 'demipotence' should allow it, but how costly it would be? On one hand Time is one of fundamental forces. On another, only very small amount of space needs to be affected.

For normal Valkyries it would by probably unusable. Technique that speeds time by let's say 15% while voraciously depleting impeller is not worth contemplating. Especially if can be affected by interdiction. But for Anna with her impeller strength? If she can triple speed of time, it means that her impeller regenerates three times as fast too. If she can keep it up, she is three times as fast - which triples her fire rate and energy generation. And increases her movement speed.

If she is efficient enough? Her impeller actually regenerates faster if counted by standard time.

Plus, it may be things worth trying to get technique more efficient. Bending the space. After all it is boundary that is a problem, not volume. If she can shrink that boundary, she reduces strain of time manipulation. If she bends space using Gate/Closed Space derivative so from outside perspective Durga is half as small, she reduces boundary by factor of four. If she reduces it to 1/4 it's a factor of sixteen.

At full efficiency? Antagonists would not know what hit them. They would not get time to react.

And if nothing else, Anna have motivation to develop it. After all if she masters it, time is not running out. She could fight faster. Fast enough to finish in time. Move faster. Fast enough to reach people she wants to protect. Fast enough to prevent disaster. To prevent loss. If only could she have it back then...

@Avalanche - is it feasible? At least to try?


Question to forum - what do we know about Higgs? Outside that it is universal cheat card? Do we know how it is created? Do we know how if it is created at all, or only source are antagonist bodies?

I was wondering if exotic impeller manipulation could not a way to generate Higgs. After all Wave Force anomaly left residue of exotic particles. It mechanism is adjusted for singular purpose, it could perhaps serve as efficient way to generating it.

To recall analogy from first part of the post - room full of wonders. Higgs generation can be one of them.
