Mental Megameklab power set initial thoughts


Pros/cons

Pros:

At a single glance can see what a mech/vehicle/dropship is, who manufactures it, how to make the factories to make the tools to make the factories to manufacture the products.

This includes Lostech and Clantech

Also sees what's wrong with individual products and how to fix/repair them. If it's worth it at all, etc.

Cons:

The brain can only handle so much excess information at once. If he's looking at too many different things, he eventually passes out. Massive migraines, etc.

He can't make things out of nothing, he has to earn the capital, endure the literal headaches, and make everything himself before passing on information to others.

Edmund can pass the information on by drawing out blueprints, etc. but if he tries to do too much, there are risks.

It's similar to the Ancient repository of knowledge, he looks at something and it pops into his Fran. But he pays a price for it.

Essentially. Scrapyard good! Unless he gets overwhelmed and has to spend some days or weeks asleep from mental overload.

Rule 1. No HPGs.
Rule 2. No Jumpships or Warships
Rule 3. No Dropships

Reasoning behind this.

Megamek and the rules regarding dropships, jumpships, and Warships, are easily twisted and broken, thus making them infinitely more complex.

His brain tries to handle the information from those and shuts down.

Other rules will probably follow.

Begin Summary

Edmund Blaze is the CEO of Siler's Salvage and Assembly. A new startup as of 3026 that intends to enter battlemech manufacturing through blending old and new manufacturing processes.

All investigations have pointed to the man being loyal to the Free Worlds League. Willing to work with and sell to both the local Silver Hawk Irregulars that are stationed in defense of the world, as well as to the militia. So far, all attempts to sway him into giving out secrets to the manufacturing processes have been ignored. (Subject shows signs of autism when working on ensuring the factory is producing at capacity. Hyperfocus, ignoring meals, and attention to specific details while ignoring body language, etc.)

All SAFE efforts to research the CEO of Siler's Salvage and Assembly, Edmund Blaze's past, have found nothing more than shreds. From everything we have found, he was homeless for at least a year before joining Quikscell. (Estimates put him as having been homeless for far longer than that, but that is when the first records begin to document him.)

While the lack of records is somewhat alarming. It is not yet an indication or reason to bring him in for questioning or enhanced interrogation tactics. Due to the current state of the Inner Sphere, and the Free Worlds League in particular, we cannot assume foul play here. There are many worlds within our borders that lack a sufficient education or system in which to document all of their citizens.

While Kalidasa is generally a more industrialized and educated world, there are many settlements that are not a part of the overarching information and intelligence apparatus. So, unless Blaze appears to be a threat, we will allow him to continue as he is.

Agents Steele and Cone have been embedded inside the company and will be providing further reports. Cone has attempted honey pot schemes to sway the CEO to no avail. As there has been no progress on that front, any future attempts to ensure the company remains as the FWL requires will be focused on the second owner and partner of the CEO. Sylvie Siler.
