Some thoughts and questions-

  • If Anna is ordered to deploy to help stop a major antagonist push -
  • Would she have operational command of the squadren or the 300? Or defer to the higher officer ranks/STRATNET?
  • What would her full combat loadout look like? Like if the situation warrants it, would the UN give some of her Heavy Particle weapons back?
  • Also - The fact the UN strategic command basicly wants Anna at Africa at all times makes me think they think the next major antagonist push will be coming from that region.
  • One more thought that has had me thinking - If the antagonists try to send a execution squad into another unprepared Arcology like they did at Darwin, would Anna be able to stop them?
Well, while her Valk rank of 1 means she's the highest there is her actual military rank is 2nd Lieutenant which while an officer is pretty far down the ladder. Add in that Anna doesn't have any experience with strategy or even squad tactics beyond what she's read or the literal kiddie stuff they teach at the Academy I really doubt Anna would either take or be given the command if there's anyone more able nearby. Like you know, pretty much anyone of the 300 as they've all had a full military training including Flight and Wing tactics.

In the latest chapter Anna is the most able since only two of the others have even fought the Antagonists for real and not for that much. Hence her being given command.

Anna walks around with pretty much her full combat loadout already. Load up some extra nukes or something maybe but not much else. The UN also only has one of her HPP. Before Sekhmet she had 10 but they all got thrashed. She cannibalized 5 to remake the remaining 5. Then she loaned one to the UN for them to study.

The African front is named Hells Gate so it seems more that it's just a constant high level of warfare there hence why STRATNET wants her there. Actual UN Command has obviously countermanded that though since she's been placed in Perth Academy instead of tossed into the war.

Against Sekhmet a Type Zero Class C she barely survived and IIRC the author had to handwave that a bit because the rolls kept coming up with Anna dead. 3-4 T0 with Class between C to A along with their attendant high level escorts? No, she's dead.
 
Honorable mention: Anna is immune to the Death Note; yet another reason not to have a cardiovascular system

Is she? Heart attack is merely a default option, it's possible to describe it in details. For example: Anna goes home and meets a sudden Class SSS Type-0 in her room and is instantly anihilated by it before it teleports away.

Death Note can control victim's actions, as far as I remember, so you can make sure she doesn't do weird shenanigans with rewriting her memory into Durga or something as well.

The Impeller's Demipotence ability would shut down such an effect if it entered their Impeller because it doesn't 'shouldn't work'. On the other hand though, if you raised a Valk their whole life telling them that they can't hurt Umbral Residents without demon blood, and the Valk wholeheartedly believed so, the Valk wouldn't be able do anything against an Umbral resident, even if they did grab such a dude with their Impeller.

Ah, so Valk cores project a minor waagh field, got it.

WRT command, unclear at the moment, UN Stratcomm is awaiting further data. The UN is taking Jatayu's word with regards to Anna's alleged command and combat capabilities. De facto operational flow will depend on what decisions Anna makes going forwards and whether STRATNET and local area Valkyrie officers agree.

Her full combat lookout is whatever she feels like really. There are flights of couriers Valkyries who group teleport in supplies for the Ace Squadrons on demand, as well as the regular supply trains and depots that they can pillage from. If Anna wanted it back, she can ask for the 5th HPP back. One thing is that the UN would almost certainly stuff a bunch of HYWs, including the rather dangerous and unstable stuff like 10kgs of anti-hydrogen straight up instead of the much safer, and less energetic fusion warheads regular Aces would sling around. Anna's onium batteries are also finding a lot of potential in UNARD for relatively stable high yield weaponry.

Anna stopping an AG hit squad of the likes that decapitated the UN at Sydney by herself; no.
The Antagonists don't send E class Type Zeros to do that kind of strike, and Anna would have a devil of a time killing even a single E-class within an Arcology anyway. If the E class was focused on killing her, or the AGs sent like, 3-4 E class Type Zeros against Anna for whatever reason and activates Anna's Target Rich Environment, Anna would mulch them, but she would definitely not be able to stop a trio of Class C+ anti Valkyrie specialist Type Zeros like what happened at Sydney. TRE lvl 1 won't even activate against Class Cs, so that' s a hopeless fight if she's alone.


The most important question of them all...

Will we ever see Anna eat all of the Cafeteria food in alphabetical order in one sitting?
Unfortunately, I am not cultured enough to even attempt to write such a feast for the mind.

Death Note wouldn't work on most Valks. It's another esoteric effect that wouldn't punch through Demipotence, but Demipotence doesn't work when the Impeller is down. So I suppose if you like... um, death noted someone into doing something that completely takes down a Valk's Impeller, they'd be vulnerable until the field begins regenerating.

Remember that she had basically no energy or higgs while she was fighting Sekhmet. Literally using solar panels and advanced batteries for power generation, while stealing higgs from defeated Types. Now that she has a fusion reactor among other internal power generation options, and a stable supply of higgs particles, she might just have an easier time against Sekhmet. As Avalanche said, she could probably take out 3 Type 0s like Sekhmet, since that would be enough to activate Target Rich Environment.

Though my big question is, could Anna and Durga recreate the Heavy Particle Weapons? Do they remember what was put in them, or could the possibly make them from raw materials if they had them in storage? The current 5 in existence are better than the original 10, so could she create more of the advanced type so she has 10 advanced to combine together in various ways? How powerful would the full five-fold Heavy Particle Weapon be? How much stronger would a ten-fold Heavy Particle Weapon be?

My desire to see this and the following reaction Intensifies.
particularly the idiot new cadets from the last update that think she will not pull her weight with real combat without ever seeing real combat themselves.

Nukes? Nukes are weak shit. Get something exotic (like XHEAP missiles) or anti in here!

The Death Note can't violate causality, so "Class SSS Type-0 teleports into her room" is out by that account.

Wrong, Avalanche said she could take out 3 Class E Type-0s and specifies right after that that 3 Class C Type-0s (like Sekhmet) wouldn't trigger Target Rich Environment (well, unless we get that Legion of One specialisation) :Ü™
 
Well I now know why he takes so long in writing story posts, instead of cutting off and going on to a new matter he'll just keep going back to 'edit' more stuff into the original draft.

@Avalanche Sorry I'm confused here. Do you meant TRE lvl 1 won't activate if Anna is up against more than 1 type C (which is indeed unwinnable)? I thought the fluff description of Anna's fight with Sekhmet involved her chugging on other types for Higgs to recharge, at least until Sekhmet realised their backup was just providing Anna convenient medpacks and ordered them away.

Yes and no. Anna and Durga can recreate HPP by redoing the whole process but they have no documentation on how they did it in the first place.
As far as they are aware, the process to create HPP is "components went in, Antagonists corpses went in, wait several years until finished."
That last part is why Anna's not going to remake new HPP on her own for this quest btw.

It means Class C doesn't count as one for TRE. The other gribblies does.

TRE would activate until the Types send their escorts away, at which point it's just Anna alone against 3 Class C+ Type Zeroes, and being a level 1, Class C Zeroes are too strong for TRE to activate. You'd need 3 levels in it for it activate against Class C Type Zeroes, and even then, unless Anna is way more swole through mysterious SV voter powers, it's still not going to end in her win. Especially not inside a populated Arcology.
 
Anna could tie down and prolong a fight against Class C Type Zeroes (which would be ah painful) but doing so while she tries to protect a lot of scrubs (no offense) would end in eh death?
Like in a open field fight it wouldn't be death but uh still lots of pain where talking about here.

Well then.
I know what Im voting for next time :V

So, TRE is actually applying Conservation of Ninjutsu to a fight?
 
Well, I seriously underestimated the skill. Oh noes?

Still think the Blue/Red wave stuff is a priority.

Btw, how's the update coming along, Avalanche?
