We also know that this isn't the first time Kronos has showed off:There's this:
Which seems to imply a level of intelligence, at least, on the level of dolphins. Doplhins are cruel.
Maybe Kronos made a tactical decision? Whoooo knooooows.
That kind of pattern strongly indicates Kronos has a degree of personality, so I think it's reasonable to assume Type Zeroes are sapient.Post 19 said:

Still on my long, slow crawl through the entire thread, but I had to stop for a moment and acknowledge the prescience of this post. Because four years later, we still seem to be on track to prove this right.

And in the war there are fighter jets, BVR weaponry and battleships.
Anna happens to bring those things together in one mostly girl sized spatial anomaly. She's not an OCP, she's an RMA, a massive leap in capacity, but she doesn't bring anything technically new to the table unless she plops herself down and ecos.
Its okay if its yourself!
Man. All the talk about Shy!Anna makes me wish I was involved in the quest early enough to vote for her. I'm so curious about how the Instructors and others would have reacted to her.
I wonder if her town being rescued/evacuated to Perth (presumably) would have been a big propaganda thing for the UN or if the UN would have tried to keep it under wraps.

E26 would have been dropped off in Indonesia:

That gives an idea of the VC prequel game being a weird tower defense game. But you only have one tower.
Saving the town would have been a big propaganda opportunity, but after learning of Anna's capabilities they'd probably done their best to keep her identity a secret. People would know there was one Valkyrie who did that, but not who.
Been brought up before, though admittedly without a win condition:

No SV, you are the WiFi. I'm pretty sure that this quest title started that rather awkward trend of No SV, you are x. Sorry. I'll fix this up later.

Frankly I think a Valk game would probably a bullet hell game with momentum mechanics.
I don't know how that could be made good, but studio Gilgamesh could throw enough money at it.

It'd be a combat flight sim game like the Ace Combat series.
It would probably be something between Ace Combat and Project Nimbus, with time slowed down a lot to make it playable for people whose reaction time isn't measurably influenced by the light of something happening a few hundred kilometers away not having reached them yet.

Does that mean Anna can't store yogurt?Living things die when put in storage.
Higgs Generators break when put in storage.
Are Valkyrie Cores a system for continual improvement via machinery? And Antagonists part of a system for continual improvement via life?

Living things are just complex systems of nanomachines made of organic compounds.Living things die when put in storage.

I think Cores disagrees with this definition. After all our Teacher did use nanomachines to calculate our favorite food.

Definition of "life" is one that is pretty much arbitrary.
both in fiction and in real life.
When does a set of chemical reactions become "life"?
Why are some self replicating entities alive and others not? Does it have to be carbon based? Is DNA a requirement?
For the sake of the story, i am presonally just not thinking about it. It's there basicly just as a story limitation that will come up if/when the writer decides it comes up, and stopping us from just evaquating thousands of people by putting them in storage and teleporting away.

My point wasn't that Cores can't use nanomachines. My point was that classifying things as living things or machines is arbitrary. I consider it likely that the limitation isn't specific to living things but just happens to apply to the majority of naturally evolved creatures on Earth. Perhaps it interferes with certain chemical processes like oxidation that cells need to survive. Perhaps the improvement subroutine has issues working with creatures and simplifies their neural structure (I.E lobotomizes) or optimises their cells and causes all the cancer. Perhaps Valks have some kind of anti-virus system that automatically destroys stuff it can't work out the design of.

I think it was stated that some vaccines could not delivered because they had living cells in them.
So unless there's something really weird about the vaccines we don't know about, unlikely to be a sapience thing.
So did shy!Anna found not!Durga arcology core when a kid?
....
Wait, are all cores the same size except maybe the 300s? I mean, could Durga shift to arcology or battle ship mode?

All cores are the same size (no WoG I know of, but all description so far has been "fist-sized"). Being a battleship doesn't mean "the core is suddenly gigantic", it means "every part of the battleship is covered by the core's Impeller and an expressed component, which strenghtens the Impeller" (a Valkyrie battleship is basically a Valkyrie, but a lot larger and slower, a bit less tanky per volume but way tankier in total, with normal Valkyrie weapons)

I would dispute this but HPPs are almost 3 quarters of a kilometer long.

...This doesn't quite fit with my mental image of how Anna-Sekhmet encounter occurs. We can probably assume that on the UN-Antagonists front things should remain largerly the same, with Sekhmet using its energy mortar superweapon to wipe out the UN fleet, then returning to the Breach for resupply and repair. So that is a fixed sequence of events.
In Monster Anna timeline, this leads to Sekhmet and Monster Anna running into each other, Monster Anna Wave Force-ing Sekhmet in zero range, returning (briefly) to her Arcology to learn of the uprising she had to put down violently, launching herself off to Saskatoon Breach to Wave Force it into oblivion from the inside, then returning to her Arcology to learn it got completely destroyed while she was making a Breach disappear (and at the distances/velocities involved she couldn't have been gone long), then finally getting into contact with Valkyries investigating the Wave Force effects and fainting right afterwards.
Now, if we assume that Shy Anna was contained to keep her from wandering... Why would she be wandering enough to run into Sekhmet?
Snerk. Actually yeah, Summit does have a bolder personality, she actually flirts with handsome Majors of Team GEAR that catch her fancy... Flirts really badly as in blurts her attraction aloud, but that's still more than Anna has ever accomplished.There is one battlefield where I feel Summit has an edge. Not against others, but only vs her counterpart.
Summit (blushing): "Hey, uh, Koujirou. I like your hair, it is cute and fluffy."
Coroner: "!!!"
It's like Misaka vs Misaka 11032 if the clone was much shorter.
Otherwise I doubt Summit can handle much about the common AGs for this setting. A Type blocking her evasive teleports would be a disaster. OTOH, there's a chance she can absorb a core and start cross applying her skills. Not a good chance because I suspect Valk Cores count as alive, but it's there.
And Summit can comment that Magical Girl 'shadow' powersets happen all the damn time where she's from, she hoped she was an outlier.
Can confirm - Summit's Peerless Explorer and Instant Manufacture make her a a decent artificer, of anything she examined or fused. This includes erzatz Bolos, hovertanks, magic forcefield generators, power armors, and probably a lot more than that. The question becomes - whether Valkyrie Core is capable of integration and improvement of fused magical items.
Not a bad idea... And since Higgs Generators are a really rare commodity, not testing them at all, like giving it to a Closed Space specialist to test their workability, would be the go-to decision for STRATNET.Living things die when put in storage.
Higgs Generators break when put in storage.

Actually... IIRC it's been said that Soul, Magic and Physics in CWMGQ are very finicky when used in the same project, to break the limitations of one through the other. It's been said that perpetual motion devices (and/or perpetual energy generators) can be built, however they are unreliable in that one and the same generator will need a dozen or two attempts to switch it on, to actually work as advertised. And if it's ever shut down, it may not work on the next two dozen activations before suddenly working again on its 25th consecutive reactivation attempt.
Frankly, considering how Higgs Generators behave as physics-breaking objects and how they are so finicky, in a crossover I would most likely conflate their behavior with the abovementioned result and call them another hybrid device that taps, in some manner, into non-Physics interactions to produce the results it does... And so requires a lengthy string of reactivation attempts after being shut down (or put in Closed Space storage as the case may be)
