Was looking back and found this omake I had written about a year ago and PM'ed to ensou. Might as well share, even if it is a tad dated.
Sonata 2.1 Omake
"Colin, am I interuppting?"
"Just refurbishing the power relays. Should improve battery life by two percent." Armsmaster muttered as he put down the microwelder. "How can I help?"
"Something showed up on the SOSUS net outside Brockton Bay about twenty minutes ago, I was hoping for a second opinion."
Colin simply sat back and looked at his lab's main monitor. Dragon knew him well enough that words were an inefficient method of explanation. 'Show, don't tell' worked better for him, even if it did dehumanize him a little.
"It was first detected east of the harbor. Based on it's speed and apparent size, it was immediately flagged as a possible Leviathan track. However, he is still lying dormant in the North Pacific. The trace continued for four minutes into international waters, where it apparently surfaced and then disappeared from the sonar net."
Colin simply nodded. "The only thing I'm aware of other than Leviathan capable of those speeds submerged are supercavitating torpedoes the Russians were experimenting with back in the Seventies. It's possible Squealer adapted the technology into a drug running submersible, but it would be extremely dangerous to operate without her or another skilled Tinker at the controls. Since she is in custody..."
"My initial thoughts as well. Either Skidmark decided it was worth the risk, or found another Tinker."
"You said initial thoughts?"
"Three minutes after the sonar trace ended, New Boston Air Force Station radar picked up a faint, intermittent signal launching from those coordinates."
"Launching?"
"It went supersonic almost immediately with an acceleration and climb rate comparable to an ICBM. It didn't register as one because the radar return was so small, thankfully, otherwise we might be at DEFCON 1 right now."
"A Mover then? A very high one at that. Brute or Breaker as well to withstand the atmospheric friction at those speeds as well as the oxygen deprivation. That or they possess very impressive environmental power armor."
"Yes, I considered that it was a new Tinker testing their equipment. Some of it seems impossible though. Speeds in excess of escape velocity, G-forces high enough to shred the strongest alloys I can come up with and pulp anyone who isn't Alexandria. I retasked a satellite to try and get a closer look. After cleaning up the data several times, this is the best image I was able to extrapolate."
"The bizarre thing is that aircraft, or whatever it is, uses some sort of unknown propulsion system. It has engines obviously, but no noticable heat signature or exhaust from them. It's completely outside my experience."
Armsmaster simply stroked his beard, deep in thought. "If anything, it reminds me of some of the old Robotech fighters."
Dragon's screen avatar gaped in surprise for a moment, "I never would've believed you were a closet otaku, but it makes SO much sense now."
"That was a long time ago, but will admit I may have been impressed by some of the mecha designs back then." he huffed.
Dragon was actually giggling at Colin when something seemed to distract her on her end. "Oh what the... not those two idiots again."
"Dragon?"
"Uber and Leet just started one of their video streams. Looks like they decided to play with Relentless today."
"Patch the feed through. I'd like to get a better assessment of her capabilities."
(I figured the ADF-01 Falken was a good choice for Taylor's space fighter)
