    They'd won the ground war. Bolt didn't have much more to say to that. They'd won, and won decisively. Unfortunately, it was a victory that could still kill them. Every single mech they had needed repairs. They simply didn't have the manpower to fix that much in a timely manner. They needed...

    Lilly was fighting a mech with dual handguns. It was not a popular nor common configuration. The weapons had low penetration, low ammo capacity, and low accuracy beyond a certain distance. While expert weapons were pretty dangerous no matter the type, the only reason to go with two handguns...

    Reports of several ships coming out of FTL nearby was not a shock. That was fairly regular. What was less regular was the size of the group. It was pretty obvious who it was just based on their profiles. No one from their neighborhood would have approached the planet with that much of a...

    Normally Bolt would have actually waited on this a bit. Unfortunately, with the news he'd just gotten that wasn't an option. He settled down in the design station and glanced at Wu and Dai as they arrived. "Congrats on finishing the mechs." He began. "I think that'll be enough to qualify...

    Lilly was not just piloting or training all the time. Not only would that be maddening, it was also counterproductive in many ways. Someone who trained all day wasn't even a weapon, they were an automaton. Past a certain point training was worthless. So on easy days Lilly did roughly one to...

    Dai and Wu's forming mechs were... Well they weren't spectacular standout designs. As their superior, Bolt could see their workstations and what they were working on alone. Bluntly and honestly put, they were mediocre and niche. This wasn't surprising. The two designers had been average in...

    They were going to hold off on selling the Cursed Crow for a bit. Probably until it had been fielded for a few battles and the abilities became well known. They were a bit out there and would be extremely useful as a surprise. It could also use some more field testing. The inconsistent...

    Kriff was out of his depth. Oh, he wouldn't say that out loud, or even hint it, but he was. He was a general. A good one in his opinion. He directed military forces. He was decent at politics, but only because that was what was needed once you got up in the ranks. Past a certain point the...

    For once, the large designing room didn't feel too empty. It wasn't full mind you, but it had enough people that it didn't feel unpleasant to be in. Bolt entered it with amusement that turned into mild embarrassment as everyone's attention turned to him. "Was just gonna wait until you had a...

    Bolt and Lilly had a new place to play together. It wasn't one they used often, but it was a place both secured and easy to access. They simply had to have a token to enter. In Lilly's case it was a replica of Morning Star. In Bolt's case, one of the many Heart Tokens or one of the mech...

    Cars and tanks work. They just lack mech reinforcement.

    What's Junk? (The Mech Touch)

    The mind machine interface has issues with non human design. Animals actually have issues too. Dogs and cats work if the pilot grew up with them. As do other animals, hence why the MTA encourages zoos.

    "I'm half hoping you have another wonder build that could solve everything else based off this result." Kriff began as he and Bolt spoke after the battle. The design nodded while examining the general to get a feel of how this would go. The man looked a lot better now than when he'd first...

    Lilly stood alone on the field. The mist was not present for once. All that remained was dried and cracked ground, dust, and the remains of mechs they had not bothered to remove. It was a potent visual scene, which was the point. She wasn't so prideful to think she could win against a small...
