    October 31st 656th year of Terra.

    Planes roared overhead as battlefield after battlefield was covered in a misty deluge of blessed water. The barrels gave a hollow thump followed by a hiss of rain that created rainbows on everything we fought, bled and died on. I was one of the people selected to fly with these crew who knew every cursed inch that the voss had stamped on. Myself, and literally only a few surviving officers managed such a task with the familiarity and thoroughness one would have if they wanted to clean up every mess they'd made.

    We felt responsible.

    Norwood. fireworks and a trail of farming planes trailed with us to help with the consecration efforts.

    Solstice. The biggest cheer went up as we went past.

    Every charred mile, every bloody road that people had died on was quicly being washed over by movement, by people, by celebration. At one point it almost felt like they were stepping on graves.

    Black Blood.

    Ibonyte.

    The reason this cursed war had started and poisoned our brothers.

    /Demons/

    Where did they come from ? How bad did this get ?

    Albane. Kess had told me that he was just a first of many that came down to fight. What was once a lonely airport was teeming with flocks and formations of aircraft, supply trucks, armor formations and -

    Kolstec. The sun had set and when we left the morning before The ugliness that was the battlefield from yesterday washed away like a bad dream. Parade shouts, shimmering armor lines, and new ranks who likely had no idea what they were going to get into filled the once bloodstained streets.

    I hate rainbows.

    Report to Command:

    After an extensive battle, the Hellghasts managed to come out of the defense of Kolstec victorious in the end. However, they have suffered many casualties, particularly during the first half of the defense at Five Fingers.

    During this battle, it was observed from the communications channel that many of Hellghast's troops on the Northern side of the ravine suffered some form of psychological trauma by being within the immediate vicinity of the Voss General Asmodeus of the 13th Legion, who identified himself as one of the Three Heads of Terror of the Voss. If this is true, then with Gustav and Asmodeus dead, the Hellghasts have managed to deliver a massive blow to the Voss war machine.

    I would also like to mention Father Zwei's influence in this battle. It appears that I was correct in my judgement, that his faith accords him some form of power against that of the Voss, which is demonstrated in how his blessings allowed a round from The Cyclops to penetrate the enemy General's barrier. I believe this warrants further investigation.

    In the end, I recommend that all the soldiers of the Hellghast unit undergo psychological evaluations and treatment for any mental trauma sustained from recent missions.

    "Junior Adjutant Ricasso Tortuba, Ma'am. I was ordered to deliver this to you in the event that Soapworth didn't return. Normally I would've given this to the Major or the Captain, but considering the Major's state, and that the Captain has his hands full..."

    The young man handed the bulging folder tied with red lace to Knightly, before saluting and leaving the tent. Knightly stared at the folder, and, turning it over, opened the folder and dumped it's grease-stained and coffee-smudged contents onto her desk.

    Shifting through the scraps of paper and photos, Knighly came upon what looked like several sets of blueprints, and what looked like a letter written by an unsteady hand.

    "Hmm... looks like this was written by Soapworth..."

    Knightly read through the letter. Then, in disbelief, read it again. And again. This time cross-referencing the various documents that had come tumbling out of the folder. After several frantic minutes of pouring over the pile of letters, notes, pictures and plans, Knightly realized what Soapworth had stumbled upon, and the discoveries he made.

    She quickly pulled the letter she had been writing from her type writer and crumpled it up. It looked like there would be no time for rest for the Hellghasts.

    Vahn stands by the riverside, staring out over the killing field as the consecration flights pass overhead. He remembers the small stream where he used to sit and think as a child, waiting for his work at his mother's grocery store to begin, the tree he would climb in the center of town to spot the place his latest delivery was headed. His hunting trips with his father, to replenish the stocks of meat at the shop. He had returned from one such trip to find a Voss raiding party not three months before. He remembered his father shouting at the other members of the militia, telling Vahn he was a man now, and it was his job to help defend everyone. It was easy. The Voss were slower than deer, less alert, less valuable to him. They weren't even people, just another target to be shot. The day had ended with Vahn sitting in his favorite tree, an army of corpses littering the square two blocks over.

    Yes. This was just like that. He kneels to wash his face in the river, as he had done so many times in his youth. When he looked up at the sky again, he saw the pilots of the planes, read the patches on their jackets. He leveled his rifle with the pilot's head.

    Garrison Capital had just sent out the order, Hellghast. In a few weeks we will be commencing operations to ...

    Invade Voss.

    Overseas Ragnyllians should be making their way within a few week, 402 townships, 27 cities, and all 19 Academies have, as of now activated their reserves and are committing them to make this offensive effort happen. Clovis has also declared war on Voss, and we will soon see how Aeon and Iffram will react.

    However...

    Kolstec has reported a peak flow of Ibonyte, and the Alchemistries in Solstice reported an unprecedented enrichment rate. This is...

    /Good. News./

    The Voss are down to 1 General of Terror, it is said that in the past few months now, their Emperor has been indisposed. The Voss are beginning to lose face, and the empire they once held is going to get more bloody and violent before it crumbles and gets better again.

    In short, now that we threaten them; their size will be all the more terrifying to handle even with a two, three, or even 4 front war. And now it is our turn to make a push , and throw them off balance,

    and Hard.

    The enemy we fight is mixed up with something. Something not human, not alive, and definitely not natural. I don't know the full extent of what that Demon had said to you, but know this to be truest;

    Kess couldnt sleep. And so he ran himself ragged through the stretch of death that they fought only a day-and-a-century ago. Bullets grazed his body that night like everyone else in his squad. Some lived, others died their faces would never leave his mind and every hard rock bounce he made with each footfall made his wounds burn until they started to feel cool again.

    Only once did he stop, and it was in the lukewarm aftermath at Five finger, where armored husks and bizarre shapes mangled the rock with stochastic beauty that made Kess question what he was looking for here from the very beginning. To his left was a glimmering statue of an elementalist encased in time, forever holding a fist.

    Rainbows formed above him as he sat down on the cliff. Next to him was a stone mural. or rather what was a piece of one.

    "Iceval" was written on the slab in etched vertical script.

    Drops of consecration water dotted his face, but there was not a plane in sight.

    Gunther hummed a little tune as he worked on upgrading Isara mk5 in preparation for the next mission. Plus, it wasn't as if materials were in short supply. In the wake of the Voss retreat, they left a lot of equipment behind, and didn't have time to salvage the wrecked and ruined vehicles that littered the approach to Kolstec and 5 Finger Valley. Ragnyllian work crews had been busy salvaging the hulks and smelting them down. Some of the new parts and armor plating he was attaching to Isara had probably once been her previous mk4 incarnation.

    Either way, with more material to work with, he set about adding additional armor plate to the vehicle, as well as some sophisticated damage control systems he had cooked up. Newly shipped Clovis sabot rounds would give Isara's guns more punch, and the engineers had cooked up a new repair kit. Instead of having to weld on patches of temporary armor plate over hull breaches, repair crews could now apply a specialized Ibonyte gel that would instantly bond with whatever material it was applied to.

    And that was a Brand new Day, from the Gracemeria Children's Choir played to the folks in Ragnyll. Happy Liberation Day, courtesy of your neighbors from Clovis.

    We start this morning with a refreshing morning announcement. As of 0500 Midland, the Voss warmachine was stopped in its tracks just 10 steps away from Kolstec, Norwood, and the Shadow Steppes And who would man one of those lines but the Ragnyll 9th Company Hellghast Unit themselves.

    One of the 6 Liberators under the Armies of Ragnyll, Hellghast was founded after the fall of their Academy at Cross. Though those students have carried on to become heroes in this plane or the next, the Spirit of the unit continues on as the tip of the spear for one of the bloodiest wars in the Valknyre regions.


    The infamous unit liberated over 4 corrupted territories in all corners of Ragnyll, their missions have employed Midians, Students, Veterans, and even Superhumans alike which in no small part lent to their fearsome track record against the ruthless Voss.

    It was also reported that a Daemon was sighted at the Defense of Kolstec, one of the three general of Terror, Asmodeus. Going down this route - it would be safe to assume that Voss now only has one left with replacements that are far off with shortcomings. It will be no surprise if at this point, people will be taking up arms to tackle one of the fastest growing empires since Aeon.

    On that note, tune in later tonight for a Clovis general address. We will now continue with our Liberation Day special,

    >>16201738
    What Gunther also cooked up to improve Isara's durability was a new system that would account for walkers' rather unique weaknesses. Mulitpeds required lots of joints and moving parts that weren't easy to armor, or else such vehicles would be unable to move. However, Gunther had managed to devise a system where a walker could enter a sort of "Lockdown Mode". Every joint and potential weak spot would be covered over with interlocking armor plates that would slide in place at the push of a button. While this meant the walker would be unable to move efficiently, it drastically lowered the chances of incoming enemy fire striking a vulnerable spot in the vehicle's armor.

    >Spending last 10 xp on aspect upgrade Lockdown Mode. All incoming damage is reduced by 1 as long as the vehicle did not move that phase.

    With a few weeks until the invasion, there was time to take care of some personal business. Springer told Sellers and Sanders to take it easy until she got back, and put in for a few days of leave time. Finding Isane at one of her usual hang outs, the little garden she always had set up no matter where the unit went, Springer stepped up and asked if she could get two bouquets of flowers ready, one in blue, and the other in red.

    "They're... for Winters and Summers. Their families, I mean. I was their wingmate, I just feel like I should be the one to break it to their next of kin. Just sending a letter... it doesn't feel right."

    Isane's usual sadistic side isn't at all noticeable as she tends to her garden. Glancing at Springer's metallic leg as she looks up at the pilot, she nods her head knowingly.

    "No need to say more, I understand completely."

    Turning back to her work, she sets about gathering and preparing the requested flowers, and soon after hands the two bouquets over.

    Springer takes the bouquets gratefully. "Thanks, I really appreciate it."

    Carefully packaging and storing the two bouquets, Springer requisitions a Rig Cycle from the motor pool and heads down the road towards Solstice, which most pilots, herself, Winters and Summers included, called home.

    She still didn't know how she'd handle talking to the families of two young men who'd died before their time, but few things could prepare one for such an encounter.

    >fluff tiem
    Through the whole battle of Kolstec, Armitage had been stuck on the wrong side of the bridge. As she was about to cross, it had collapsed into the river as if by magic. She had spent seemingly endless minutes racing around the walls to find another way over, or at the very least find a high place to get to and fire from. All the time gunfire, explosions and the sickening splat crunch and scream of their victims echoed through the night with ferocity like no battle before. The next she saw the far battlefield, two monolith tanks stood dismembered and bloody, corpses and gouts of flame littered the field. The Voss were actually retreating. Then it happened. The river ran red, she saw her dead friends in it. The sight rendered her helplessly immobile; she stood transfixed to the spot as the demon had risen from the ground, done nothing as all of Hellghast laid into it with their weapons. The sight haunted her for days, festering behind the laughter and tears of the aftermath and the celebrations. But what haunted her even more was the simple fear she felt in her heart, like nothing else. Being safe, but completely helpless. It was worse than any wound or threat of death. So she ran. Laps upon laps, endlessly running circles around the base. Running, climbing, leaping, moving in any way she conceivably could. As days went by that fear turned into resolve. She was too slow to reach her friends on the other side. Never again.

    As she calmed down she found herself watching Isane and her gardening more. All she had ever known before the war was shallow acquaintanceship with people in her class, and later at her work. She got along just fine with everybody she met, but never really connected. Something about this humble gardener made her wonder though, made her want to get closer. This must be what it feels like to have a real friend. It stirs something in her heart, the mere fact makes her happy in a formless way she can't describe. She found that caring about someone, and to have them care back gave her untold confidence, a will to live like nothing else. It also convinced her that her life was worth enough trouble to put on a helmet.

    Hewitt stood silently on a field nearby to the Kolstec base, with his launcher and a case of practice rockets. He had set up few sandbags as training targets on the other side of the field.
    "Dishonorable retreat", were the first words Hewitt could think of while loading up a rocket into the launcher's barrel. He held the launcher firmly on his shoulder, like he had been trained. Quick turn of safety to off-selection, and lining of the target into the sights. Slow pull of the trigger. Rocket launched.
    "No kills." He loaded a new rocket, lined another target into the sights, and fired again.
    "Pvt. Herbert Jarvis, designated loader - killed in action." The cycle had to be done faster, but it would be too hard for Hewitt to do it any faster without a loader.

    Silhouette of a man approached from the edge of the field. "Pvt. Hewitt?", he called out. "I was told that I could find you here. I'm your new loader. My name is-" "I don't want to know your name", Hewitt interrupted. "-wait, what?" "I said that I do not want to know your name." The man was visibly confounded by Hewitt's uncouth behaviour.

    "Alright, but-" "Just help me practice with this damned launcher and get over with it. It's war out here, not some boyscout camp." The men tensely glared at each other for a few seconds, before getting back to training.

    Major Mana:

    It has recently come to my attention that one of your men, the late Investigator Soapworth, had come upon plans for a Voss super-weapon. While normally chain-of-command would require that this information would normally make it's way to you directly, the death of Soapworth in the recent battle along with your recent injuries meant the information found it's way to my desk instead.

    From what Soapworth discovered, these weapons, which would essentially allow the Voss to hit any location around the world, had been shipped a day ahead of your unit during the liberation of Albane. Soapworth's records indicated that we were unable to locate these weapons following the liberation of the airfield, meaning it is highly probably that they were delivered to Vosskon hands.

    Major, I suggest that the Hellghast unit be sent to recover or eliminate these weapons during the upcoming offensive. I have already sent a report to Iron Command detailing Soapworth's findings, along with all relevant reference materials. Due to the nature of his findings, it is best that this information reach as few ears as possible - thus I believe it prudent to have the Hellghasts, as opposed to any other Ragnyll company, secure this weapon.

    A similar proposal has already been included in my report to Iron Command. However, as the Commanding Officer of this unit, you have the authority override my suggestions to Iron Command. In any event, a copy of Soapworth's letter has been attached, and is to be handled by Soapworth's own trusted courier.

    It's your call Major.

    "And during the battle, did you happen to have any sort of...visions?"

    "Visions, sir?"

    "Mental disturbances, Private Paisley. Something trying to force itself into your head?"

    Paisley shuffled in his chair, his left hand thumbing through the rosary beads as he tried to find a more comfortable position. Kolstec may have been won, but the fact remained that several of the soldier had seen...things...while that winged general--Asmodeus, was that his name?--fought the Major. Advisor Knightley had scheduled psych evaluations for most of the men on-base, and with Paisley being a first-time deployed soldier, he had some special priority when it came to mental health.

    "Hmmm," Paisley mumbled, "you could say that."

    "Okay," the psychological counselor sighed, scribbling down a few notes. "Could you describe anything you saw?"

    "Nothing much, sir. As I've told you--and given in my post-battle reports--Private Kess was much closer to the general than I was, so the effects on me were weaker, but still substantial enough to shock me into a temporary state of combat ineffectiveness." Paisley looked away, unsure of how to phrase what he was to say next, before continuing. "What I saw while I stared at the general...they were memories."

    "Memories?"

    Paisley perked up before looking at the rosary beads in his hand. It was a unicursal hexagram, an inverted, stylized rose set into the center. The entire symbol was surrounded by a circle. "It's the symbol of the Goddess, sir."

    "Mo'alla the Undying?"

    "The same, sir."

    "Does your faith have a significant meaning to you, private?"

    Paisley smirked, looking the psychological counselor in the eyes. "Faith moves mountains, sir."

    Requesting 4 upgrade (leaving me at 6kp)

    Aspect upgrade:
    Fake Death: A mongoose that take damage can fake being killed, sending them prone and overwatching the enemy. Extra limb are "killed" during this action
    Vrank upgrade:
    Monotank interface kit: Working on the same principle as the radio replacing Mana vocal cords this kit allow her to use hijacked "Brain vehicle"
    Strength upgrade: With the high quality ibonyte comes high quality material, those can take the added stress of adding power to the actuator placed in Mana's body when she was outfited with a metal skin.
    Vanguard upgrade:
    Dual-wield: Finaly having mastered her extra pair of arms, Mana can dual-wield Vanguard Weapons. Those weapon must be of the same type though.

    The "psychological review", as the counselor had put it, ended soon after that, Paisley filing out of the small tent as another soldier stepped through the small flap.

    He liked to think it was painless for her. He liked to think that they hadn't yet sent in the ghouls, that she was keeping busy, the brunette hair always kept in a tight bun slipping out slowly as she clamped down an artery here, sutured a wound there, lips kept tight in a thin line as eyes and hands hurriedly scanned over each new patient, each new wound. He liked to think that she didn't even hear the shell coming in, that she stayed there, patching up some poor bastard whose name she never even got to know, when it ripped through the tent.

    His left hand goes to the rosary again, thumbing through the beads as his thoughts start going over a prayer to calm his mind. Paisley sighs, walking out toward the barracks to go fetch the new armor designs he sketched out. After seeing his squadmate--Goddess alive, he hadn't even gotten her *name*--ripped apart in a hail of bullets, he decided that the standard-issue light armor just wasn't gonna be up to snuff if things really went south next deployment. This new armor was just as light as the standard issue stuff, while giving some more protection to the user. "Every little bit counts," he mumbles, popping a cigarette out of the pack in his right pocket and slipping it into his mouth.

    Hello Vrak. I see you managed to survive your first(?) engagement.

    You may wish to apply upgrades to your current class, or purchase an aspect (for 20 EXP), which can be seen to the left.

    EXP is gained by kills. If you would like, you may count your kills/assists from the previous thread, which may be viewed at the suptg archives under Iron Hearts.

    If you have more questions, please visit our IRC, hosted on the mibbit server Rizon, channel #Ironhearts.

    Hello again, you Ragnyll hellhounds. How's tricks? This your favorite lovely lady, the one and only Vosskon Blossom reporting live from Voss Radio, here to bring you another hour of music and demoralizing news.

    So the higher ups have heard what happened to our glorious general Asmodeus. Tell me this, boys--why do you resist? You're only delaying hte inevitable. Why live like a slave under the oppression of Ragnyll when you can live like a king serving under the Voss Empire! We care about you fighting boys--we have hot food, beautiful women, and soft beds. Don't listen to the lies of your superiors--come! Come to our side, boys. Come to the winning side.

    Now that the spiel's out of the way, time for a few songs aimed at crushing that relentless spirit of yours. This first one goes straight out to the CO of the Hellghast Armoured Unit for her brave duel with Asmodeus--it's Billy "Panther" Coxcomb with his hit "The Arm's Comin' Down (and I Can't Stop it Now)."

    The Radio at the entrance to the base stops playing the piano tune, as a worn, beaten rocket launcher is slammed down on it, crushing the radio.

    "Never was a fan of pianos," the man walking into base quipped to the guard on duty.

    "Name, sir?"

    "Marks. Sergeant Marks returning from extended inspection."

    "Sir! It's been a while, sir."

    Springer had arrived at Solstice quickly, having only made the most necessary pit stops along the way. She visited Summers' home and family first, and it'd seemed to her as if he'd had a tenuous relationship with his family at best. They didn't seem at all grief stricken about his death, claiming that dying for one's country is never a bad way to go. Though she didn't ask about the details, Springer was sharp enough to realize that Summers was one of those soldiers who'd enlisted as a means to get away from his home life, and try to get a fresh start with a military career.

    She left in a hurry. Maybe they were right in saying that dying for Ragnyll wasn't such a bad way to go, but their attitude about it didn't sicken her any less.

    Springer dismounts the Rig Cycle, removing her helmet and looking over the auto shop. It was a small, family owned buisiness, one of those places where the home was built right into the shop, so there was no commute. The mechanics were all part of the family here, and the sign is unmistakable:
    "Winters and Sons Auto Repairs."
    She unpacks the bouquet and starts making her way towards one of the open garage doors, where she can make out the forms of two mechanics working on a car. When she steps in, one of them speaks up, not looking away from the break pads he's installing.
    "Sorry, we're closing pretty soon. You'll have to come back-"
    He glances at Springer before stopping, recognizing her uniform as a Ragnyllian pilot suit. It's only then that Springer gets a good look at the man's face; he really just looks like an older, taller version of the Winters she knew. She pauses momentarily, almost taken aback, before speaking.
    "Is... are your parents here?"
    The man is silent for a moment before nodding.
    "Dad! Someone here to see you."
    "Tell 'em to wait, I got a job to-"
    "I think it's important, dad."
    Springer hears the sound of a ratchet stopping momentarily, then being removed and placed on the floor. A few seconds later, an older man, in his late fourties, weathered by years of hard work, approaches wordlessly. He looks at Springer as she tries to form words, but she can't seem to say exactly what needed to be said. She stops, seeing the grave look of understanding in the father's eyes. Her gaze drops, and she says the only words that could possibly feel appropriate in this situation.
    "... I'm sorry."

    The draft had applied most to those whose absence from Ragnyllian society would have the least impact upon it's economy. Unemployed and uneducated people were first on the list. Joel C. Winters hadn't gone to highschool, instead opting to work the family business from the age of 14. Informal mechanic training under his father didn't officially count as an education, and despite working anywhere between 60 and 80 hours a week, he wasn't officially employed. He was, as such, among the first on the chopping block for the draft.

    Springer sat at the Winters family's table, having handed the flowers over to the mother. Nothing had been said, but everything understood. Springer tried to think of comforting words as the mother wept, the father trying to stay strong for her. Springer could see in his eyes that it wasn't working, and knew that nothing she said could alleviate the pain of loss they were going through. Springer's eyes wandered to a picture frame on the wall, featuring the entire Winters family standing in front of the auto shop. The Mother, the Father, and four siblings, all brothers with similar features. Joel Winters looks a bit younger in this picture than he had been when he died.

    Finally, after what seemed like hours, the father speaks up. "They say... a father should never have to bury his own child. But it would have been nice to have a body to bury. Maybe it's for the best... I know what those Voss bastards do with our dead, and I'd rather Joel not share that fate."
    Springer remains silent, feeling awkward as she sits there. Eventually one of the brothers, the oldest one, steps up and whispers in her ear. "Maybe it'd be best to go now. We don't want to keep you from any other business you have."
    Springer nods, rising from her seat a little too fast. "Yeah, I... I just..."
    "I know. Thanks for telling us yourself."
    Springer nods, turning towards the door. Before she leaves, she stops, deciding she should at least say one thing before going.
    "I was there when... when your son was shot down. We were making a withdrawal, and he turned back... to stall the enemy attack. So everyone else could make it. He died a hero."
    The mother remained silent, but the father nodded. "Thank you. At least we know his death wasn't in vain."
    Springer looks away, then quickly closes the door behind her as she leaves. The mother finally speaks, once she's out of earshot.
    "I don't want a hero..."
    She embraces her husband tighter, her voice filled with bitter grief.
    "I want my son..."

    Springer felt terrible, and she wanted to get back to the work of preparing for the invasion in order to get her mind off things, but there was one last place she needed to visit before leaving Solstice. She knocks on the door to the small urban apartment, waiting for a reply.
    "Yes, who- Sylvie!"
    Springer smilies at the familiar face. "Hey, sis."

    Springer sits against the cold granite, remembering what her sister had said. "I was gonna get these to them myself... but I'm sure mom and dad would rather see you before you go off to do... whatever it is you do nowadays."
    She ruffles her fingers through the grass, leaning her head back. "Hey mom, hey dad. It's been a while. I'm doing pretty well. Got a job. Paycheck's decent, but the work's tough. Just stopping by, I don't think I'll be able to come back to see you again for a while."
    She stares at the horizon, her thoughts flowing out of her. "I haven't told anyone else this, but... We're gonna be pretty much heading up the invasion of Voss. I would say 'see you soon' but... well, no offense, but I don't wanna see you both just quite yet. But just in case..."
    Springer stands, leaving the bouquet laying against the headstone.
    "... Hold the door for me."
    She stands there for a few moments, looking over the grave, before heading back down to the Rig Cycle to start on the journey back to base.

    Command, what is the status of those Aeon Knights who were stranded behind enemy lines during the defense of Kolstec?

    If they are still alive, I would like to suggest to the Major a rescue and recovery operation.

    In the event that the Aeon Knights are no longer an issue, I would like to recommend a joint operation, or perhaps a training exercise, with some of the Clovis forces? No doubt it would prove useful in cementing relations between our combat forces. Perhaps a mock battle will instill a good old fashioned unit rivalry between the Ragnyll and Clovis forces that would be beneficial to unit morale in light of the recent horrors the Hellghasts have seen?

    Springer finally arrived back at base to find that Sanders had been reprimanded for crafting drug paraphernalia from spare vehicle parts. She rubs her head, sighing in frustration.
    "If only that girl put as much effort into being productive as she did getting high all the time, she'd have won the war for us."
    When she arrived back at the garage, she found that Sellers and Sanders had actually kept themselves busy over the short time she'd been gone. Sanders looks over and waves.
    "Hey boss lady, we put some extra armor on the Striders. Thought we might need it with the upcoming invasion. And we spent some time practicing our aim, you're a lot better than us so we figured we'd need to get on the level. Oh, and I made this!"
    Sanders produces a pipe made from an old piston. Springer looks at it with frustration.
    "Didn't you get reprimanded for doing stuff like that?"
    "Well... what command doesn't know doesn't hurt them."
    "Right... Just... keep it out of sight this time."

    The idea of a rescue op would be advantageous for us. We could use Aeon's help in fighting those ghoulie bastards, not to mention the potential for Aeon wargear and units we would be able to field should we forge an alliance with them.

    I say we go for it. However, I don't think that a training mission with Clovis forces would be the right way to form a bond between ours and their forces. A joint-op would probably be better, with Clovis and Ragnyll elements working together.

    Father Zwei has looked into the Aeon detachment, it seems he has held details in confidence with the promise that something wil turn up soon. " A miracle," he says.

    In regards to the Clovis we have been contacted about the same thing. They have an influx of troops coming in to war fresh, and they are requesting to have us employ Ragnyll's educational spirit to teach them a thing or two about the Voss.

    Peregrin has also contacted us about their joint operation with unit Zero to track down the Voss ICBMs and, if possible conceptualize a way to intercept them mid-flight.

    We have also recieved word from Iffram dignitaries, about our timely save on Solstice, among other things.

    And finally, and this one is a bomb drop, the Black Deserters had just made contact with us again, with details of the Voss occult. It seems the last General of Terror has called on a heavy movement of occult assets, with an inkling of a rumor swirling around the possibility that the current Emperor of Voss has /died/. Know that if Aeon catches wind of the Black Deserter's existence, we could very well and truly be at war with them too.

    > Unit Zero:
    Scouting troops that specialize in stealth and espionage, but their mainstay as an investigative and deep surveilance units makes them more valuable as information collectors first, and emergency contacts, second.
    >Rolling Thunders
    Major Vanders' unit. This armored company has maintained and held itself together through withering enemy lines and ran lightning strike operations that outmaneuvered every voss armor column to date. They have been known to take down the Shoggoth, the first Mono Tank model, and joined with the clovis on the first take back operation on Kolstec. They are slated to act as one of the opening attackers for the upcoming assault on Voss.

    The graduating Elementalists of Solstice have banded together to create a quick response Logistic force dedicated to battlefield control, anti occult- warfare, and research expeditions. Their Domestic contributions to Ragnyll's repair and growth is enough to win them a Peace Medal.

    > Bad Company
    This 13 man team has been known to fight Voss in wars of attrition and win. To date, they have participated in the retaking of Belmar, Keseen, and Dandroydous which were originally voss occupied cities on the border. So entrenched were these positions that Bad Company resorted to every trick in the book combined with survival instinct to take down every enemy officer behind enemy lines.

    > The 3rd Ragnyll Air Wing
    "Flying Scissors"

    Has made themselves known as natural aviators in this new age of flight, though they do not qualify for the list for candidacy, they have excelled in the use aerial leylines to patrol, intercept, and raid supply lines where they are stretched thin.

    >The Ragnyllian Legion

    Is a company famous for its heavy use of infantry. Numbering in the thousands, and capable of fighting against the 10s of thousands using nothing but superior millitary discipline, and an unbeatable fighting credo of facing the enemy head on.

    The only reason it has not been absorbed to Ragnyllian regular armies is due in no small part to the fact that it is being led by Thaneus Kade, the former Iron Command who resigned due to taking a non-aggression stance during the Valknyre split. It is noted, however, that his regimental style of fighting accounted for one of the highest mortality than all Companies in this battalion combined.

    In the operations to come, The Guardians of Ragnyll will decide who will head the Voss invasion, keep posted Hellghast.

    Foxes are government sanctioned troublemakers, where sanctioned means that they are placed as far away into enemy lines as possible.
    It is typical for a fox to feel safe in the presence of the enemy territory where trust is an expendable ally to them, and collateral damage affects them in little if not positive ways.
    Their only confidante is a voice on the other side of the line, which makes them rather sensitive to the world of telecommunications.
    When their ear catches enemy channels, getting familiarized with their radio etiquette and scrambling protocols become second nature, allowing them to recover after breaking radio silence.

    In the homefront, Foxes are surveiled with a security detail, and is kept in touch with a councilor- which adds to their ever growing paranoia that the enemy is next door. Which often leads them to live in relative solitude; where ,despite their alienation, allows them to keep up with local knowledge of the surrounding area through keen hearing and constant vigilance.

    And as a Turtle, when Prone I double my health.

    At the Airfields I realized that while prone I had 9 health.

    Marks may not be the best leader this army has, but if you let him dig in, he's the most durable unit in the Ragnyllian military.

    Assuming Command agrees with your assessment.

    Personally, I'm tempted to spend my kp on an ammo upgrade. All that health, and I run out of rocket ammo in 3 shots, rendering me useless without a flag or engineer team.

    Heh, I got the Heavy Rain covered, though you are welcome to try it out as well. I'm probably gonna switch back and forth between it and the machinegun, since my latest Heavy Automatic upgrades affect both of them. I forget the name of weapons that apply to both the rocket launcher and heavy rain, so you'll have to ask command to clarify if you wanna improve those two with just one upgrade.

    We also had an upgrade cap instated. Normal people can have six regular upgrades, and three aspect upgrades. I don't believe there is a limit on command upgrades, but I think you can only have one on at a time.

    Also, I believe Heavy teams have a base of two health.

    +Surface Plane

    Bees or BEAS [Battlefield. Engineering, Aerial Service] was the product of a retired Vosskon scientist who saw that the use of the 3rd dimension would make great use of domestic space and thus saw the world of jetpacks or brass flutterwings to be a very close reality to him.

    Bees, saw Dr. Kombs approach to looking at battlefield control in terms of a 3rd dimension and followed suit. Capable of constant Flight, bees ignore most grounded based terrain and cover in favor of ease of travel, but become a more readily available target to enemy overwatch. Their flight requires them to end their turn on the ground or the surface of a wall where they can build things regardless of orientation and without fear of falling.

    Shooting from flight is a -2 penalty.

    The direction for Hellghast's long term mission is thus:

    Hellghast is to aide in the initial invasion run spear headed by the Iron Battalion and strike deep into Voss Enemy lines with the overall intention to find the Netherworld elements to Voss's design, and sever or destroy it from the voss system . It is now highly believed that the Voss warmachine is run in no small part by this dark core. While this does not disavow Voss for the war crimes they've committed, it will neutralize the spiritual threat that plagues the common people there. We will wipe out the shadow that darkens the Valknyre and Hellghast will see to it that justice be rightly and swiftly enacted on those who brought this hell on our soil !

    We have weeks to prepare, and we will use it to recover and rise as strong as we will ever be in the days to come. However, we cannot do it alone, allies will be needed, and the Voss threat is all but pervasive. The blow we struck in their gut will no doubt be paid back in full. Who should we look to ?

    Who shall we help that needs it the most ?

    [A] Clovis. Currently en route to stop the Voss rain of Terror
    [B] Iffram. Who we have not heard from for a long time now.

    So the numbers are correct, however we do not appear to have a three way tie. Mainly a tie between Clovis and Iffram.

    Thinking about it now , I will probably have to rescind the

    Tie breakers and popular vote should not have accounted for the deciscion as much as it did mainly because;

    There ARE plot points that need defining.

    Arguments were not as fleshed out as I had expected. I would have to be pretty set on what Ragnyll's role with Iffram is gonna be considering that the only link you have is Saving Solstice, and a few comatose instructors. I pretty much said what Iffram is like on IRC so can work off that and see if I can be convinced.

    Kess, after your explanation of what happened last time there was a vacation mission, I would rather wait until the war is over until I relax--the last thing I'd want is dying in my swim trunks cos a Vosskon bastard stabbed me in the back.

    I know we're not taking votes anymore, but I think that we should go save those Aeon knights. Faith can move mountains, even in these dark times, and we could probably use some sanctified armor or weaponry should this alliance prove to be fruitful. I'm pretty sure that Father Zwei would be extremely grateful for our effort--hell, we might just get a vew Aeon units out of the deal.

    Also, I just think that all that zeal and fury that they could bring to the table would be well-worth the risk of a rescue operation. We'll need to keep a few of our dirty secrets swept under the rug, of course--but then again, what army doesn't?
    >> Concerned citizen 09/08/11(Thu)15:04 No.16227402
    Reasons to do the Aeon mission:

    Ignoring the part were most people seem to hate Aeon, I will argue that the Aeon mission could be incredibly help in Hellghast's war effort with Voss. Exactly what we could gain and how it will help is unknown as Father Zwei has not disclosed the full mission details to us. I for one assume it will be a mission to acquire a holy relic similar to Sol (the curse removing sword for those who don't remember.) Regardless of weather or not that's true or even if there is any tangible benefit to the mission at all, this mission comes to us from Father Zwei. Father Zwei a priest of Aeon that has been nothing but kind to us. A man who's holy artillery fire assisted us greatly in dealing with Asmodeus. A priest that has allowed the nuns under his care to leave their life of religious service to serve Ragnyll under Hodr. For all of this what has he asked of us? Nothing. Even this mission is just the humble request of a humble priest.

    It should also be pointed out that the Aeon mission will take place two days ago and that there is no reason we can't do the Aeon mission then the Iffram mission. Trying to do it the other way however would make the timeline to convoluted.

    Spending 20 of my 21 points to snag both of those, and throwing the remaining one into the pool.

    As to our need for a decision: I say we incite the Vossian resistance. Sun Tzu pointed out that one wagon of supplies, stolen from the enemy, is worth seven of your own. One Voss we sway to undermine their army is worth seven Ragnyllians, or roughly 2 Hellghast.
    We've had to deal with the Voss in our midst, let's make them do the same.

    Failing that, Iffram is my second choice. Sure, they lack our armor capabilities. But with the Voss's black magic, I'd like a few accomplished mages to banish their power.

    As appealing as the idea of a Voss partisan force working to sabotage the Vosskon war effort sounds, the logistics of the idea would be difficult to work out.

    Well, I'll toss in my two cents again.

    Personally, I'd rather do the Clovis mission, mainly in it promises future help in the form of more Clovis support/units.

    In terms of plot, I'd rather do the Unit Zero mission concerning the Voss ICBM's. Those are rather bad, and making sure we take care of them should rank rather high on our to do list. Also, the Hellghasts are not really equipped for rank-and-file missions. We're more of a fast-moving spec ops division that's not quite spec ops yet.

    I'll support an Aeon mission for Zwei's and Wight's sake, although what we get out of it is a bit ambiguous. It might mean we'll get some Aeon heavy infantry support in the form of Templars; we might not.

    The Iffram mission... I'd rather not do. Mainly since, as I've said before, Iffram and Aeon are not on good terms, and attracting the bad kind of attention from the Inquisition would be bad news.

    And I'm against the mission to the Souf. Because I see no potential gain from sending our troops to a meat grinder for no reason.

    So you have honor when it comes to fighting enemies, but in the case of our own you just don't care?

    Anyway, some of these proposed missions are just too important to pass up, is there any chance of doing more than one? Aeon is definitely something we need to take care of, despite how they have treated us in the past. Turning some of the Voss would be very helpful as well, as they are actually fighting us right now, and the less of them the better. Iffram and Souf are currently unknown factors, so they might have to wait, and as I said earlier we already have Clovis on our side, so we might not have to deal with them at all despite how fun it would be to play as them.

They keep pulling bits of you out and putting more machine parts in--it's a miracle that anyone was able to survive the cyborgization process with almost no side effects. You've proven yourself an able fighter and an admirable leader, and I am happy to have served under you. But Major, I cannot stress it enough: don't lose sight of your humanity. The moment you do is the moment when we have lost you. It's like Isane said--you're more machine than flesh now, and it's kind of unnerving that you can shrug off being ripped apart in battle, only to be put back together again. Do not let your current condition control you: I shudder to think of what might happen if it will, and what the consequences may be if it happens.

    On the night of Hallow's Eve, behind Voss lines, a detachment of our Aeon knights have rounded about to meet the enemy reinforcements !

    It was there that Templar Wight has taken what was left of those forces and resisted the enemy's rear lines. Their fight has taken them to the mountains- and there we shall find what awaits of their fate.

    Did they resisit ? Did the flee ?

    Sorry, Advisor--it's my upbringing coming through. Worship of Mo'alla was pretty widespread in the Sorramec Valley when I was growing up. Aeon missionary groups came through occasionally, and we greeted them with open arms--part of the doctrine of Mo'alla is to as much respect to those of other faiths that you show to the fellow Goddess-worshipper.

    A young woman hopped off the newest truck to recently reach the battalion. A new recruit, wearing a loose uniform tucked and folded so it wouldn't hang off her. She slung a rifle over her shoulder and jostled the equipment on her back, which very likely weighed more then her.

    Once she oriented herself she went off to look for her CO. Mjr. Mana. Once she's found him, "Pvt Steiner reporting for duty sir."

    Stalwart soldiers of the Order who will advance without fear towards the enemy. Their form of the phalanx has evolved to the times , leaving them undefeated even in the face of heavy firepower.

    Templars are normally lead by a veteran who has survived the phalanx themselves.

With their ability to amass manpower comes the ability to build walled fortificationsequal in length to the number of their order.

    MORE PASSAGES FROM THE SWORD ETCHINGS OF AEON.


    > Clerics
    Aeon is a land blessed with the purity and zeal unmatched in all of Midland and at times it is often said that a miracle will grant holy gifts to children like the Cleric who possess the voice of angels, the will of gods, and the heart of a child. Mothers fear not, for they are given two, sisters weep no more for they are given the gift noble marriage, and fathers need not shed a tear for lost sons or daughters for they were sired by Alexander's light himself ! These Clerics are innocence personified and with the aide and protection of divinely trained Holy Hammer Maids (tm) the enemy will see the true might of our forces combined before they even set foot within lecherous distance of these gifted children !

    > Armslaves
    Before the Age of Alexander there was the age of the sword, and who else could be more devout to the ways of the fighting spirit than the armslaves who have trained their bodies and souls fully and completely to the art their ancient fathers passed down. It is said that for every armslave born, 1000 warriors from centuries ago beget the sons and daughters that would soon give birth to these living legends today. Rigorous tests, and brutal training is given to noble sons and derelict whoresons alike to determine this generation's cadre of razor sharp talents.

    If the cleric die, all the unit will be considered dead at the end of the battle. The holy battle maids do not accept failure.

    Also seeing as both the cleric and the maid are different on the basic level (one is a non-combat caster and the others are bodyguard) they have different upgrades path (6 for the cleric and 6 for the maids)

    The 4 Hymns of battle is such that it is mastered and famously known to all soldiers of Aeon,

    The Song of Healing has been known to to sound like angelic choruses and the warmth of hearth and home and those faithful will see their wounds mended as if their mothers would tend to them in their dark hour !

    Songs of Protection, there are many, but all catch the ear of our fierce beati who will lend a protecting hand and block , cuts, smashes, burns, crushing explosions of guns and tanks just be sure to tell your audience what they're being protected against ! [Damage types are specific]

    The Song of Spirits is one to be sang for those passed, those who give their life to the service of Aeon will be given final rites into the realm of Aleksander's Promise. The dead will be consecrated and those who kneel and pray for those fallen may add FAITH to our cause. This has also been know to cure blocked bowel movements.

    Song of battle should not be sang lightly, but BOLDLY ! Those in attendance, those who cry out and echo the loud fighting words shall recieve bounties of strength to strike down even the most FEARSOME of foes !

    Personally I am gifted with the Song of Sleep, it bores knights where they stand and requires no instruments on my part.

    "Brother Makkor, it is my great shame for not slaying the monster before it claimed our Inquisitor. However it is now my duty, in Alexander's name, to protect as many of the remaining soldiers here."

    Their cost in Glory is high, and they will only grace the fiercest and most urgent of battles.

    The Rook is sturdy in size and strength, watch for their turns for they bring ruination as hefty as their volume allows.

    Looked down the cliff face to the darkness below, "May Alexander guide us." The solem faced man turns to his Aeon Brother's before shouting, "We run no farther, let us slay these monstrous dogs here and now. TONIGHT WE MAKE OUR STAND! MOURN THE FALLEN BY FIGHTING FOR THE LIVING!!!" Wight lifts his spear at the speak of his warcry hoping to entice a righteous fury from his Brother's and Sisters; they would need all they could if Alexander were to see them to the morning.

    Hmmmm for this engagement I shall have a command of one of your flocks, Shepard. This hill is a slow fight for invaders, and a hard one if we can control their approach.

    I will no doubt see enemy air harassing us, so I shall group with an armed cadre and build up defenses.

    >Lotsa terraces and a general way down--We need a plan. I propose an armored spearhead led by the Templars, backed by our mechs and with the Casters behind. We'll cut our way through the enemy forces to Kolstec, and link up with the forces of Ragnyll.

    Or, we could hold the top-most part of the plateau, and wait for help to arrive. Either way's fine with me. Brother-Adjutant, what are your orders?

    Turns his head to nod at Adjutant Makkor, "Tis a fine plan Brother, besides, I cannot lead from the rear I must take to the front and hold the line. I will trust you in the tactics, Inquisitor." His emphasis on Inquisitor showed an almost mocking trust for the young man Makkor.
