Super Robot Quest G

Reader mode
Humans weren't uplifted by Galbinus so much as given random tech from new tech trees, in exchange for assistance in fighing mutual enemies.
 
It also doesn't help that Earth is in a tangled snarl of a civil war so there's no real way to enforce anything on a planet wide scale either. Doubly so because all major factions field wildly disparate specialties that'll make a playback approach to handling an utter nightmare.
 
Gotta love those "aint no way X is gonna happen" and the cutaway to "X is absolutely currently happening".

Space community ain't ready for Earth, also in the future known as "Space Bermuda"

From what I recall Galbinus told us, Earth is more united than Mekaen even with the current wildfires. :V
 
Jokes aside, once the poor guy finds out what Earth's actual deal is, investigation is gonna be a nightmare.

"What do you mean Configuration is a native thing"
"Okay, so that's from us, right?...Right?"
"I have no damn idea what that even is supposed to be, get that abomination outta my sight"
 
I really want to see his reaction to our budding mad scientist "drone."

There's all sorts of legal precedents being overturned there. He's seemingly not legally recognized as a person by their law, but that was based on either faulty information or a coverup of just how advanced Drones are. If he's not a Mekaen, then he isn't a Mekaen in violation of spreading tech. If he is, than the Free Brothers are mass-murdering younglings for sport, using them as disposable conscripts, abandoning them on battlefields, etc.

Edit: Oh, and if he's not a Mekaen, then Bandit, who we can hand over to him and establish the Free Brothers as a technically-active part of the Tech Proliferation investigation for the shield and blaster tech, is likely responsible for deploying an AI repair device not properly programed to restrict tech access. He might even be considered something akin to our pal's father if he gets legal Mekaen-hood.

Oh, and the Free Brothers seemingly supplied weapons-tech to the Westphalians, while ours is from pulling apart Bandit's, the Wunder-Drone, with a gun-nut providing ergonomics critique. That's probably going to work great for pointing him at them first.

    I'm noticing in this recent vote that not all actions were assigned to the advisors. That's perfectly fine, but just so you all are aware for future votes:

    If your advisors have free time, they'll pursue their own projects. And may grow to varying degrees of obsession over them, depending on the character.

    This can be positive for you, as they may try options that weren't available before just based on what they want to go for (i.e., things I also find interesting) and unveil new options for you. Others may just be hilarious world and character building, and others will possibly include some dramatical events happening (though nothing outright negative or could lead to a failure state).

    Adam Wilde and James Henry
    - Ichiro Support Unit (Mega Blaster Sledder): 6, 5, 4
    - Seeker Core Super Robot Development: 2, 3, 5

    The Duo are hard at work in a field most familiar to them - and the Sledder is proving to be a surprisingly modular piece of kit to work with. Jiro has done most of the legwork on the Mega Blaster, and Wilde and Henry are more comfortable with Kausen technology than most, having been there since the very beginning to work on it. The only issue they're debating is the ergonomics - or what Wilde is calling the 'cool versus practical argument,' with his insistence that 'cool' should win all the time.

    (One Turn Remaining)

    Meanwhile, at your direction, they've also taken one of the Seeker frames that the Build Team haven't used yet and are tearing it apart to give it all of the usual works - K-Scale Mesh, Anti-Gravity and all. This is going to take longer, however, because they now have far more tools to work with than before - and they're going to require your feedback based on what you want it to do.

    (Two Turns Remaining)


    Build Team

    Perseus Support Unit (Pilebunker Sledder, 'Salad Bowl Mix' edition): 4, 6, 4

    Like with the Duo's take on the Sledder, the Build Team's version is going to take a little while longer due to also experimenting with what works the best. That's a lot of technologies they're throwing together, and past experience has shown that not everything always plays nice with each other, so they're starting this month with the technologies that they know work - specifically, Zirvitium lining, K-Fang materials, and even the relatively new Faedium. K-Lung and the Empathic Booster are trickier, and they want to have a solid baseline first.

    (One Turn Remaining)


    EAI-01 'Lana'

    Sledder Weapons and Utility (Power Augmentation Pack): 6, 6, 1, 4

    It's finished! And just in time before Ichiro galivants off with Jessica to whatever the heck is at the Oil Platform. (Yes, you're capitalizing it, it feels appropriate) Ichiro is running on legacy power generation, but thankfully Faedium synchs with him in the combined form rather nicely - just be sure to detach before it takes too much damage.

    Ichiro has stopped grumbling openly too - progress!

    Sledder Support Template - Augmented Power Pack now available! Can be further developed.

    SCR-01E Banner assigned initial prototype - name of combined form pending.

    Independent Project: 6, 3

    Lana studies Jessica's C-Crystal 'teleport' effect a little bit. But aside from 'it's magic,' she hasn't made a terrible amount of headway.


    Yukimura Jiro

    Funnel Research (adapting new technologies): 2, 2, 6

    Jiro is so very thankful to be working on something weapons related that he might have rushed things a bit. Thankfully, this is also something of a slightly longer term project, as Ignatov's original idea behind the 'Funnel' remote control attack drone is rather unique. His own development on the directed shaped blaster charges are already a dead ringer, but incorporating the Pteradon leather mesh is showing some promise.

    (One Turn Remaining)

    'Saddle' Research: 5, 6

    He goes straight back into grumbling about not being an aviation or mechanical engineer, but something about the Saddle's form speaks to him. It's now not uncommon for him to be going towards the Duo asking general questions, as well as seeing just what this twin-rotored monstrosity could possibly do and what additional combinable digits he could squeeze into there. He shares the previous opinion that this is not going to be a mecha on its own - but as part of a larger Combinable Configuration? This thing has promise.

    (Two Turns Remaining)


    Boris Ignatov

    AI Guidance Systems/Psi Power Linkage: 1, 4, 6

    It turns out that the data processed by the MMI is somewhat at odds with the way your Super AI - or even your more mundane runtime coding - parses information. Lana and Ivanna report getting their equivalent of a headache just looking at the data, and Ichiro and the Argonauts are no better off. But using the MMI itself as a guidance system with pilot input is showing some promise.

    (One Turn Remaining)

    Boris/Greg

    Drone Support: 3, 6, 5

    Your new Drone-equivalents are online and walking around the DFRI base grounds.

    They are immediately bemused by the Engineering department...which you can't really blame them for.

    DFRI Drone-equivalents online! Current Designation: Golems. (Can be renamed if enough players feel strongly about it, but keep that discussion civil)

    Oh look, it's the Midseason Tempo Increase for our Giant Robotic Friends! I'm getting vibes like from TF Animated or Prime when Ultra Magnus and or his subordinates show up and have words with the local Autobot contingent. I fully expect the rank and file will be a bit happy to have reinforcements, while the leaders are concerned about the political implications, that's how this tends to go, to the best of my recollection.

    TF Prime - and specifically versions of Ultra Magnus - were an inspiration for this, yes.

    Another good reference point is one of the storylines from the now defunct Dreamwave comics, when a Cybertronian task force arrived to arrest both the Autobots and Decepticons on order of a unified government. That was a fun story, as the Earth-based factions were not appreciative of what they saw as backstabbing.

    Congratulations, you're such a headache to everyone involved you're setting legal precedent to not just your planet, but to another's!

    I'm thinking we'll want to make it ubiquitous with the Funnels as a combinable form. Means we can devote it towards providing lift or absolute battlefield dominance depending on who it links up with.

    Plus, it'll play very well with the Seeker Core Unit once it gets up and running. Thankfully, based on the results of this turn that we've already seen -

    "Be ready for space combat" seems particularly high on that list right now.
     
    Researching the friction reducing coating would have promise then just to get things through the atmospheric layer more safely as well as making on the fly high speed configuration that much smoother. It might mesh with drop pod research as well.

    Honestly I feel like that's the winning ticket behind having Macross tiered units.

    Not only that but it's needed for the regular configurable units of the wider UEDF to have force parity with their Westphalian equivalents given we can't give those ones the super special secret tech and the Westphalians already have configuration plus that to run circles around just configurable Jackals/Centurions.

    I kinda want Percivax to fly back home more Kaiju than Mekaen. Possibly with Kaiju Configuration, a-la Dinobots.
    Maybe Sheol got his grubby hands on him and was inspired, but Percivax was recovered before brainwashing?
     
    It's not just Galbinous sharing tech with us that's showing off those readings... it's Tyrannous sharing tech with Westphalians & Sheol that's showing off those readings.

    The wierd reading would be Xeno-tech other than the Regency C-crystals. There are more Archeo-Xeno tech on Earth.

    Ray Hulk sounds good to me.
    Also, how hard do you guys think it would be to add a gatling firing mode to the Mega Blaster where it just fires one cylinder at a time for reduced power but increased fire rate?

    We're also the foremost experts on crystalline technology too considering we have C Crystal, Shard, and Faedium all under our belts. We have a brand to commit to at this point.

    I still want to combine all 3 for Orgone energy/particle/crystal technology.


    View: https://youtu.be/pDGu061dGCE


    View: https://youtu.be/66QSX06cq3I

    It's more likely Gen 3 technology and we are currently at Gen 1.5 & about to start Gen 2.

    Now that I think about it, can we try to use the K-Lungs & Crockalisk pod/scales to flash forge Zirvitium?
     
    Hmm If we want the Gagarin which is our only spaceSgip to esxort Percavix group to Legion embassy were gonna need to read them in to yhe kausen.
     
    huh,
    it seems like we did have a second action for lana

    -[X] EAI-01 'Lana' - 1/2 Projects Assigned
    - [X] Sledder Weapons and Utility - One Turn Remaining; Has +1d6 bonus for this roll from previous success
    – Ichiro's Note - I don't suppose I could volunteer to get this fitted onto me? Seriously, what's a guy gotta do to get upgrades here?
    - [X] Funnel Research
    -- [X] Faedium Power Source Integration

    Sledder stuff and then also funnel reserach
     
    All in on the Sledders.

    Sledder Supremacy to know what lies at the end of the rainbow. Even Ichiro wants them on him and he needs a reward for putting up with all those training sessions with Galbinus.

    Frankly I was expecting it to be hinted at that Percivax was in fact the Dinobot leader, complete with configuring into a T-Rex.
    Yes this would be the timeline where we don't get a Grimlock-expy…
