SILVER WISH DISCS:

When an Operator receives a Silver Wish Disc, they may use it with 2x [1d6] rolls; both rolls may be used for EITHER a single item, OR an attempt at two different items, though only the highest roll will be delivered/granted.

-ONLY an Operator may write a wish! (“You really don’t want to know what happens if you aren’t one.” -Anon)

-Attempted use by those that are NOT an Operator will result in the disc being destroyed.. among other negatives.

-Physical items which existed on that particular Operator's homeworld, or on Tallus, are applicable, while requests to be fulfilled by those that inhabit Tallus may be requested as well. HOWEVER: care must be taken as the receiver's intentions may be quite fickle, or possibly detrimarental.

-On a result of 6 the item requested will arrive in perfect condition with ALL requested modifications;

-On a result of 5 the item requested will arrive in excellent condition with only 3/4 the requested modifications;

-On a result of 4, the item requested will arrive with only 1/2 the requested modifications;

-A result of 3 may yield a (possibly) useful curio or a damaged, similar item of questionable value;

-A result of 2 is a failure and will likely provide only scrap materials;

-A results of 1 most often produces a useless, albeit well made curio.

*BASIC GUIDELINES:

-ANY item that currently exists which an Operator wishes to be improved CANNOT be lost or damaged in any way, NOR will any damage be caused to a currently existing item whether intentional or unintentional.

-ANY item that one wishes to be improved MUST BE IMPROVED IF AT ALL POSSIBLE; this improvement is based on the MAGNITUDE of the result. For example: a result of 2 will cause the first 2 possible improvements to be committed WITHOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR FAILURE.

-ANY item that one wishes to be improved will, if that specific item can ONLY be replaced with a superior version, result in the original existing copy remaining and a superior version being retrieved (if necessary) or created.

-ANY item can also be wished for to be repaired, the repair of which is based on the MAGNITUDE of the result (from a 10% to a 60% repair). NOTE that this guideline directly implies that the item's original materials WILL LIKELY BE replaced with superior materials and the weight MUST remain close to the same.

-ANY item that currently exists can be repaired multiple times until reaching that item's base capacity, and thereafter upgraded 2 to 3 times depending on technological capability.

-ANY item that cannot be repaired (an almost impossible occurrence) will not be damaged or changed. Attempting to do so WILL NOT destroy the wish disc, however, IF SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED then an equal or superior copy may be produced ONLY if that item is not Unique.

 

*ADVANCED GUIDELINES:

-ANY item requested is able to have period specific modifications, improvements, enhancements, additions, add-ons, customization, AND material changes, including those only found on Tallus, one’s homeworld, or one’s knowledge. Examples:

-utilizing quartzine or diamondine lenses on a scope instead of glass or other composites,

-replacing a chrome-molybdenum sleeved barrel with non-standard metals or materials (when applicable),

-replacing stainless steel with hi-alloys only found on Tallus, or those from an Operator's home world,

-modifying a common scope to utilize period specific Infrared, NVG, Thermal, starlight, or other technological functions that would fit the casing and technological levels,

-adding electronic devices or components in known, prototype, likely existing, or theoretically proven stages to the intended item.

 

*****

TIER 2 ADVANCED EQUIPMENT UNLOCKED.

-All Operators now have access to heavy non-portable weaponry: missile launchers, rocket launchers, mounted turrets, towed artillery; two-man & squad based weaponry are acceptable.

However, advanced weaponry will still be Era Locked, and weaponry must weigh a total of 8 tons of less.

 

-Access unlocked for small mechanized or engine based mechanical implements, utility devices, or vehicles below 8 tons maximum weight.

Examples include: chainsaws, augurs, light cranes, vehicle lifts, etc.

 

-Access unlocked for working & functional weapon prototypes, or modern-era based technologies for those not from a highly advanced world.

 

-Access unlocked for modern generation armored fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, light tanks, aircraft, blue water vessels, spaceborne vessels, and etc.; all such must be under the 8 ton capacity limit.

 

-All instances of exoskeletons & powered armor are now unlocked. Their stats and capabilities will be dependent upon what they are based on, and, for the most part, may be improved beyond their base capabilities, up to a maximum of 3 to 6 upgrades depending on the roll used to acquire them.

 

 

TOO LONG, DIDN'T READ? Wish Discs are not meant to solely provide basic acquisitions. If a "thing" can fit, seems like it SHOULD fit, does exist, COULD exist, or someone COULD make an alteration to make said "thing" fit, then it will fit.

Except you. IN the box. YOU cannot fit inside that box. Or this box, don't try it unless you want to get stuck.

BLACK CANDLES:

The rarest, and certainly one of the five most coveted gifts throughout the known Imperium, the appearance of a Black Candle has three purposes: honoring the greatest services of an Astartes on Terra during which the Bell of Heroes is rung, appearing during times of the foulest heresies to act as both light and shield against Chaos, or given as a sign of true favor from the highest ranking members of the Inquisition to their loyal subordinates.

In this case, the first two do not, and will never, apply. (“Double and extra heresy do not count... or so I have been told. ” -Chisan Nas)

 

When acquired by an Imperial subject, a Black Candle is to be taken to a secure, safe location where the user must seat themselves, light the candle, and focus their thoughts upon a specific piece of wargear, an STC readout or printer, or any other object known to them that they desire to possess.

Make a [1d6] <Black Candle roll, the result of which will determine whether or not the object of desire is translated from the Imperium to Tallus.

*Should an Imperial be given the right to do so, they may attempt to summon Armory wargear directly from Inquisitor Velasi's personal flagship (Post-Dark Age of Technology Haephestus-class Custom Heavy Battlecruiser ‘Night Shift Strokes’)

*IF the wargear in question is NOT Unique and can be produced to a higher standard, said wargear will be produced TO THE NEXT HIGHEST STANDARD, which will take an equivalent amount of time to deliver onto Tallus

**Due to the unstable (and sometimes volatile) translation system, and the fact that much of her possessions procured through the past ten (“Or more.” -Chisan Nas) millennia are either extremely rare, difficult to reproduce, or near-unique examples hailing from the Dark Age of Technology, such an attempt will require the usage of, at minimum: 2 Black Candles for Rare wargear, 3 Black Candles for Artificer-grade, 4 Black Candles for Ultra Rare, and 5 Black Candles for Near-Unique.

***Unique items cannot be acquired, though Artificer-grade copies MAY be possible, depending on the object in question.

GREEN CARDS:

When a Certain Type of Pony, hereafter referred to as a CTP, receives a Green card, they may use it with a [1d6] roll.

-ONLY a CTP may write a wish, however, attempted use by those that are not CTP's will only result in the card being destroyed… at best.

ARCANE ARTIFACTS:

 

*****

Negative Onyx, The.

 

APPEARANCE: the Negative Onyx is an ancient piece of enchanted.. black onyx, masterfully cut into a perfect teardrop shape and enchanted with powerful arcane magics. There are absolutely no imperfections on its surface, and it seems to be indestructible by normal means.

 

HISTORY: the Negative Onyx is a magical artifact which possesses no sense of being, merely having been ‘programmed’ with precise sets of actions and directives. It possesses the ability to absorb all marener of negative thoughts and energies, effectively being an endless source of positive thinking and power.

While there appears to be no immediate side effects, little has been explicitly documarented, though the short term side effects are generally a mild negative thought draining, rendering a person incapable of being in a bad mood.

The Negative Onyx was created at least one thousand years prior, and is speculated to be a Late Dynasty Era relic, but was lost shortly after through unknown events. It resurfaced when it was discovered by Filth in snow, encased in a block of ice. There does not appear to be any way to extract negativity from the Onyx, further research is required to understand more.

There are limits to the amount of energy it can absorb, however, a significantly traumatic event may produce more negative energy than the Onyx could absorb at once. Beings that possess large amounts of negative energy within them are also unaffected by the Onyx. It is possible that lesser negative beings could be absorbed by the Onyx.

It is known only by those who have done extensive research on old and lost magical artifacts, even then by those who know where to look as it has long since been forgotten by the world. So few mentions of it are made that most are skeptical it exists, but there is evidence of having been used in several events during recently known history.

Those that do know of it have little idea of its true potential. However, any being, with or without a connection to magic is able to feel the power of the Onyx: simply being around it makes living beings, especially ponies, much happier, the atmosphere becomes lighter and more serene in general.

 

CURRENT LOCATION: inhabiting a large fountain in Northern Canterlot, where some.. strange incidents have occurred.

 

 

*****

Vindicator (Elemarental Scourge, Indestructible, Unique Legendary Eldritch Artifact): a 15' long Basilisk Lord (right) fang, forged into a perfectly tapered, smooth, Elemarentally imbued lance.

The rear of the weapon where it was carved off the Basilisk Lord is engraved with Spiral's name in gryphon runes. Further runes and glyphs of strength, power, and vindication have been extensively carved into this weapon by Krinza, as well as a gryphon translation of Spiral's few (those that he will state at least) achievemarents.

The tip was shaped into a triangular piercing head, one side with the inscription 'Vindicator', the second with 'Hunter', but the third was left blank for unknown reasons.

Too heavy to be used as a normal weapon, Vindicator can only be controlled by Spiral's immarense bond with his weapon, owed to imbuing it with his own elemarentally-charged blood which grants Vindicator several basic psychokinetic capabilities.

Long since confirmed to contain an entirely new form of proto-sapience, Krinza has reasoned that it is a better example of the prior demi-sentient operating most of Razorback Fortress' capabilities.

While Vindicator's intended purpose is to combat Elemarental beings, it strangely has no animosity towards it's master; whether this is due to Spiral's intense focus, or Vindicator's crippling boredom, apathy, and mere carelessness is unknown.

*On its own Vindicator may only utilize two of three abilities per turn, but must rotate between Psychokinesis and Elemarental Lance in order to prevent from overheating.

 

QUIRK: Boredom, Major. Vindicator will poke holes in the ground, psychokinetically toy with nearby objects, inscribe glyphs and runes on buildings (or anything left in the open), flatten out piles of snow/dirt, spin in the air for hours on end, randomly change the Elemarents covering itself, form Elemarental specific shields, wander the Fortress whenever not busy, and attempt to help ponies if it is capable of doing so.

TROPHIES:

 

*****

Clemency:

-Argus Command Dominator Fragment: one piece of an Argus model's missile casing, carefully extracted by Nova Flicker.

Considered a token and not a 'true' trophy by Twisted Wing as that particular Argus was not destroyed in the Lunar Citadel.

 

-Bellepheron's Head: the entire head of Bellepheron, former Empire Crystal pony stallion, a renowned singer-turned-assassin, separated in the center of his neck. The flesh and blood has become a purple diamond-like crystalline substance. Both eyes still shine brightly in focus, his lips still carrying the hint of a death's rictus smile.

 

-Ethereal Crystalline Fragment. A piece of Champion Belregard's arm. Fractured off by the Executioner Blade before evacuating itself and the Moss-Wisp. It's strangely light in comparison to the material of his shield.

Considered a token and not a 'true' trophy by Twisted Wing as Belregard still exists.

 

*****

Hollow:

-Marrowgrin's... Dick. A 20" long and 4" diameter severed Minotaur slaver's bovine dong, long since dried out and remarkably well preserved. Unsurprisingly, it's roughly a foot shorter than most Minotaur penises. Not even Mercy wants to touch it, nor has she tried.

 

*****

Jeff:

-Deep Forest Boar Horns & Tusks. A pair of blunt, cone-shaped blackened horns, 1' in length and twice the width at the base, as well as two pairs of 7" and 9" long curved tusks, the curve itself being a smoothly transitioned blade.

 

*****

[REDACTED] (DECEASED):

-Sevrit's Wings. These 8' long dusky silver wings, mounted on an Anfang shield as tribute by Huntsmaster Cu'Nir, are all that remain of the cannibal gryphon Sevrit, former Warlord of the Vale.

ELEMENTAL CORES:

 

*****

The Ice Core, Elemental Being: 1000HP, 20DR

 

(Blunt, Curious, Direct, Dry Wit, Intellectual, Knowledgeable, Logical, PRIMAL ELEMENTAL, Powerful, Savant, Watchful)

 

APPEARANCE: a small, palm-sized blue orb with a tiny pulsing light in the center, weighing about a pound.

 

BIOGRAPHY: prior history unknown. It travels either by rolling around inside a snowball shield, or floating. Immarenselely powerful, the Ice Core is a curious little being on a constant quest for knowledge.

After finding the Operators, and consequently getting into a scrap with them, it has chosen to remain and observe them. And observe them it does!

 

STATUS: formerly created a walk-in freezer behind the split-oval cooking stations, granting itself a suitable location to watch the interesting beings and events going on in the Fortress.

Now however, the Ice Core is missing after stating it had "duties" to perform elsewhere on Tallus.

 

ABILITIES:

Basic Stealth+3

Expert Core Perception+10

Master Casting+10

Master Research+15

 

SPECIAL ABILITIES:

-Grandmaster Flash Freeze: the Ice Core is capable of charging and directing a controlled blast of negative temperatures that can only be called absolute zero, flash freezing anything unlucky enough to take the full brunt of its rage using 4x [1d6+10] rolls.

 

-Snowball Shield: after creating a snowball around itself, of whichever size is preferred at the time, the Ice Core uses this to roll through wintery landscapes unseen, or to plow through whatever decides to be foolish enough to get in front of it.

This also allows the Ice Core the ability to marenipulate snow and ice within a wide area, letting it crush virtually anything it catches inside using 4x [1d6+10] rolls.

 

CORE ABILITIES:

-Core Link. When in direct contact, two or more Cores may join forces and energies to directly empower one Core in particular, gaining +10 to ALL rolls for each Core linked in this marener.

 

-Primal Substance: due to its nature as one of the Foundational Aspects of Tallus, the Ice Core immediately absorbs and regenerates its physical form when subjected to most forms of Ice damage, excluding purely Eldritch, Extra-Planar, and Otherworldly.

It may also utilize the Snowball Shield to perform such regeneration, though at a distinctly glacial pace.

 

CORE WEAKNESS: physical Fire causes double damage, Elemarental and Mystical Fire cause triple damage, though Eldritch fire causes quadruple damage.

*This same penalty also applies to each Core in a Core Link as they share their weaknesses with each other, unless, of course, opposing Primal Elemarental Cores do (somehow) Link with each other.

***************************************************************************************************************************************

LUNAR NAGHTMARES:

 

*****

RED NAGHTMARE CORE #2/4, Flowing Spark: 240HP, 4DR

 

*****

APPEARANCE: this particular Naghtmare is a voiceless, long deceased Crystal pony mare, the coat a bright red while her eyes, mane, and tail are solely composed of living flame.

Her features are well rounded with few hints of musculature giving a highly feminine cast, which makes her appearance more sultry than most Crystal mares.

 

Though she cannot speak, her marenerisms and facial expressions are rarely anything more than cruel hostility, causing innate fear to nearly all ponies that witness her.

Her Cutie Marks are a trio of cartoonish purple flames in a triangle, rounded at the bottom with five squiggles of flame trailing upwards.

 

*****

BIOGRAPHY: Naghtmares are half-living, half-dead ponies, given a transient and partially Elemarental existence via Princess Luna's early experimarents with conjuration, mysticism, and Necromarecy.

 

This particular Naghtmare is a relentless, fearless, sadistic, and highly opportunistic combat support Naghtmare.

Whether due to intense military training or her natural poninality, Flowing Spark is constantly calculating the simplest methods to incinerate enemies in her line of sight, typically terrifying them into leaving to hunt down later, or simply forcing her opponents into amusing her until she becomes tired of their existence.

 

Infused with numerous flame capabilities, mainly meant for incinerating foes and making armor or weaponry impossible to use, Flowing Spark is one of the few Naghtmares capable of taking on entire squads with little fear of reprisal, partially due to the innate fear most sapient beings have for fire, and specialized training in the proper means of intimidating otherwise hardened opponents.

Has an inherent Slowfall-Float function due to said infusions, appearing as a swirling cloud of eternal flame connected to her hooves, though is much more powerful than most Naghtmares have.

 

Luna has stated that Flowing Spark is one of the few Naghtmares that should not be woken lightly as she makes little distinction between friend and foe, unless otherwise ordered by one with a sufficiently commarending voice and great willpower.

(“Strange. That name’s familiar. in more than a few ways.” -Naliyna)

*Currently in Princess Luna's possession.

 

*Roll [1d6] to summon her, the result is the number of turns she may last in reality each Operation, though a roll of 9 or higher on Intimidation, Iron Will, or Leadership is required EACH TURN to prevent Flowing Spark from turning on 'potential' allies.

 

*****

Expert Riposte+8

Expert Block+4

Expert Evasion+4

-Learned Runes:

*Power: adds +1 to all Crystal Rune rolls for each max critical, capping at a maximum of +3.

 

*Pull: allows use of minor Psychokinesis, limited to a maximum of 500 pounds.

 

*****

FLAME NAGHTMARE ABILITIES:

-Firecall: unique to Flowing Spark, she is able to drain minor portions of Eternal Flame from within her unnatural core, shaping such expulsions to her thoughts and will, whether they be projectiles, literal walls of flame, or caricatures of living beings with 3x [1d6+10] rolls.

 

-Fireheart: by drawing the raw essence of Eternal Flame from her core, Flowing Spark is able to temporarily increase the power, width, speed, and extent of her Elemarental abilities. Roll [1d6] at the start of each turn, the result adds +X to all Fire Elemarental abilities and Assault/Parry/Riposte attacks the next turn.

 

-Fireheart's Fear: by displaying the Eternal Flame imbued to her core through her eyes and body, Flowing Spark can Demoralize even the bravest of living beings with a [1d6+4] roll, and has the capacity to terrify some Otherworldly and even Undead beings.

*Functions as Demoralize and can be affected by Fireheart

 

-Flamesight: an unusual capability unique to the Flame Naghtmares, Flamesight grants them the ability to 'see' the physical relativity of living beings, including certain Otherworldly and Spectral. This allows them to pinpoint weaknesses in order to cause greater harm than simply using their Eternal Core's inherent abilities.

*Roll [1d6+4], the result is then added to all Fire Elemarental abilities the following turn, but may only be used TWICE per Mission

 

-Firestorm: the standard opening offense for flame Naghtmares, Firestorm allows Flowing Spark to encompass an area, varying from 1-50M in diameter at her whim, creating a brief surge of Eternal Flame composing her core using 2x [1d6+10] rolls, though may only be used up to four times per Mission.

 

-Scorch: common to all flame Naghtmares is a perpetual, albeit minor, marenifestation of the Eternal Flame, granting a [1d6+4] Scorch offensive Flame strike, most often used as an addition to their physical combat capabilities.

 

*****

UNIQUE NAGHTMARE OFFENSE: Master Molten Reign. Once per Operation, Flowing Spark is able to combine her core's immarense energies with a silent, endless song of crystalline flame, opening a rift to the Plane of Fire and allowing a veritable rain of bonfire sized, napalm-like fire Elemarental projectiles to rain from the sky.

While the projectiles cannot track a target, they can splash an opponent on a near-miss, burning them for 8 Flame damage each turn for two turns until the Elemarental essence is expended.

Once the rift fades from reality, Flowing Spark's current body will disintegrate and she must return to her core for a full Day/Night Cycle.

*Roll 4x [1d6+12], covers a 50M area for two turns with Eternal Flame

STATUS: deployed to guard Luna's Citadel on the Moon. Most often found patrolling the Labyrinth (tunnel networks) directly underneath the Atrium when not sleeping in her core.

YELLOW NAGHTMARE CORE #3/4, Rosan (real name: unknown): 350HP, 4DR

Age: unknown

Month of Birth: unknown

Month of Rebirth: unknown

 

*****

APPEARANCE: this particular Naghtmare is a long deceased, solidly built and soft yellow coated earth pony mare, her eyes a flickering bright yellow and constantly emitting traces of acidic-like smog.

Naghtmares are half-living, half-dead ponies, given a transient and partially Elemarental existence via Princess Luna's early experimarents in combining the least volatile aspects of conjuration, mysticism, and Necromarecy.

 

Rosan features an inherent Elemarental Slowfall-Float function due to said infusions, appearing as a swirling cloud of noxious yellow fumes connected to her hooves. These, however, are merely decorative and do not cause damage to material around her.

 

*****

BIOGRAPHY: mostly unknown. Rosan has stated she lived, and died, during a span of time before the Lunar-Solar War. Her allegiance from that era is unknown, though she lived in a place called 'Canterlot Village'.

 

Originally found trapped in one of Marquis du Spiral's tomes in Canterlot Underground, Rosan was released by Bill in a zombie-like state, her (long since) temporary body and mind having degenerated to the point of complete hostility.

Taking over and commarending Bill's physical body for a short period of time, she was brought down by a number of Operators afterwards, along with Twisted Wing's aid.

Bill carried Rosan's core with him for some time, though the two were unable to function interdependently, leaving Rosan stuck and unable to think freely.

 

Eventually freed by Discord, realizing the two needed to be separated, Rosan was able to recover.

A depression stemming from Bill's unorthodox and wholly retarded suicide in Canterlot has grievously shaken Rosan, diminishing much of her resilience and abilities, and she refuses to speak for long, whether due to fear of contact or self-imposed isolation is unknown.

 

When freshly brought forth from her core into the physical realm, Rosan is easily capable of holding her own against multiple living targets as she does not feel pain, and is thus technically immortal.

She is heavily infused with several (then highly experimarental) Elemarental Acid capabilities mainly meant for defeating armor. Although her capabilities are exceptional compared to most Naghtmares, Rosan has little, if any, real combat experience.

 

*At any time Rosan's bearer may roll [1d6] to summon her, the result being the number of turns she may last in reality once every other Operation; out of Operation, the result is the number of hours Rosan may last in reality once per day/night cycle, though she will not need to regenerate or recuperate otherwise.

ACID NAGHTMARE ABILITIES:

-Acid Storm: a unique capability among the Yellow Naghtmares, Rosan is capable of expelling a 70' cone of Elemarental acid to damage physical opponents or weaken hardened targets with a [1d6+20] roll.

*Armored targets and weapons will suffer severely degradedperformarence and durability

 

-Death Sight: the sustained state of her existence has given Rosan enough time to understand the often subtle forces and powers of life and death which nearly all miss in their day to day lives. As such she has learned to use this talent to gauge the remaining life force of living beings, estimate the durability of Undead, and notice key weaknesses of physical materials utilizing a [1d6+4] <Death Sight roll.

*This ability does not work on non-physical Otherworldly or Planar creatures, and cannot work on purely mechanical, Spectral, or Mystical beings and creations

 

-Living Conduit: like the rest of the Yellow Naghtmares, Rosan is granted a [1d6+6] <Corrosive Acid ability, able to coat virtually any part of her body for offensive or defensive purposes with a resilient, long lasting compound that can easily eat through most metals and meta-materials.

*While capable of severely damaging even the most durable and self-regenerative magical materials, it has limited effect against biological materials or living tissue

 

-Unknown

 

-Unknown

 

*****

UNIQUE NAGHTMARE DEFENSE: Acid Manabomb. Designed during the beginning of the Lunar-Solar War, based off designs of Extra-Planar Harpy weapons with the same name, this is a highly unstable, experimarental, and powerful self-regenerating manabomb placed inside Rosan's body.

When her current physical body is nearly destroyed or cannot be maintained much longer, this may be forcefully detonated, sending a powerful shockwave followed by a spray of lethal acid and unknown materials in all directions using a [1d6+50] roll with a 15M radius.

*After the use of this ability Rosan's current body will be destroyed and her consciousness will return to her core, remaining there for 2 full Day/Night Cycles until fully regenerating a 'new' body

STATUS: currently in Malyne’s possession. (“….something is WRONG out there, I can feel it!” -Nova Flicker)

 

***************************************************************************************************************************************

PERSONAL SUMMONING ITEMS, RELICS, & DEVICES:

 

-Miniature Translocation Disc, mass produced: a small granite disc inscribed with the same precise runes covering Vortex translocation stones.

These discs allow a single item or living being to be sent to any available translocation point by the Vortex Remnant, and can also be used to transport items or living beings into the field, but can only be used once as the containmarent field holding the required energy is absorbed and dispersed when doing so.

Due to the limitations of bonding Vortex enchantmarents to physical materials, only ONE translocation disc may be active and carried in a group, as two in touching proximity may cause a Planar rift, or worse, draw the attention of certain beings.

(“Remember that time the Arena turned into a giant white tree and birchslapped half of us around the entire Fortress while the Guard ponies watched? That DID happen, and it hurt. So.. fuck you, I guess.” -Unknown Operator)

After Spiral’s absence, Krinza studied the Mystic-based enchantmarent and its bound energies for several months, creating several copies to experimarent with. Succeeding in producing more, and upon noting there was little else that could be done, he began carefully storing one to three in each building in the Fortress, warning everypony (and everyone) to NEVER bring two, or more, into contact, under threat of an angry Mercy and possibly Tipper.

*LIMITATIONS: may return one being, item, or multiple beings and items that are all in direct contact, up to a maximum of 5 beings, with a limit of 5 tons additional cargo or objects.

Upon use, all beings are sent to the Waiting Room, where they may choose to return to where they've translocated from, or be sent directly to the Pagoda in Razorback Fortress.

-ADDITIONAL EFFECTS: Armor Pierce 1 (negates 1DR), inflicts Bleeding on a max critical

 

Intended to be deployed against tanks, ships, helicopters, and medium-level hardened structures, the Hellfire uses either the Kiowa's electronic commarend & control systems to lock onto technologically based targets using a semi-active signature seeking guidance system, or the Kiowa's M.M.S. (Mast Mounted Sight, affectionately called a peekball) mounted laser target designator.

Due to the integral electronic identification and guidance package, Hellfire missiles can even acquire their own targets after being fired without a lock on using a modern IFF (IDENTITY: FRIEND or FOE) electronic signal interception routine that picks the closest target.

With the 'Romeo' package can even target the most technologically advanced FOE signal, such as choosing a 6th Generation helicopter over a 5th Generation tank.

Most often used to destroy walls, knock out fighting vehicles or APC's, and can even deal considerable damage to light and some medium tanks.

Comes in placed, thrown, and 40MM/60MMvariants.

-DAMAGE: causes an additional +8/11 damage per roll depending on size

-RADIUS: 5M/10M/15M

-ADDITIONAL EFFECTS: always inflicts Stun for 2 turns, but inflicts Shock on a max critical

 

Due to the complexity, simplicity, and cheapness of even the most basic designs, these are considered the most effective non-military anti-personnel bombs.

-DAMAGE: causes an additional +12 damage per roll

-RADIUS: 25M

-ADDITIONAL EFFECTS: always inflicts Bleeding and a 1 turn Stun, but inflicts Severe Bleeding and Shock for 2 turns on a max critical

 

Essentially a 10 pound shaped block of multi-hued, highly stable crystalline lattice infused with unstable arcane energies. When exposed to Tallus, these energies become much more erratic and volatile than their smaller variant.

Typically sealed in white, woven cotton satchels marked with the bright red Saddle Arabian word for 'manabomb', these are used for heavy demolition and large scale intensive mining operations, as well as being used to quickly seal tunnels if water pockets are mined into, or assaulting large targets.

Whenever possible, Councilierge affiliates capture large manabombs for use by Sentinel teams, groups of fast, fleet-hoofed earth pony sprinters whom act as suicide troopers during large scale assaults, or teleported in by Support Strikers.

*Large manabombs MUST be handled/hoofled carefully as any roll under a result of 4 when placing or throwing will cause one to detonate immediately!

-DAMAGE: causes an additional +15 damage per roll

-RADIUS: 30M

-ADDITIONAL EFFECTS: always inflicts a 2 turn Stun, but inflicts Shock for 2 turns on a max critical

 

Essentially a molded 10 pound block of multi-hued, highly stable crystalline lattice infused with unstable arcane energies. When the casing top is exposed to Tallus, these energies become much more erratic and volatile than their smaller variant.

Contained in a precision cast or molded diamond casing, marked with the bright red Saddle Arabian word for 'manabomb', these are used for heavy demolition and large scale intensive mining operations, as well as being used to quickly seal tunnels if water pockets are mined into, or assaulting large targets.

*Large Cased Manabombs should be handled/hoofled carefully, especially due to the large radius

-DAMAGE: causes an additional +20 damage per roll

-RADIUS: 20M

-ADDITIONAL EFFECTS: always inflicts a 2 turn Stun, but inflicts Shock for 2 turns on a max critical

-ALWAYS inflicts Critical Bleeding

 

Essentially a molded 10 pound block of multi-hued, highly stable crystalline lattice infused with unstable arcane energies, stuffed into a casing. When the casing’s top is removed and the lattice exposed to Tallus, these energies become much more erratic and volatile than their smaller variant.

Contained in a cast or molded iron/steel casing, then marked with the bright red Saddle Arabian word for 'manabomb', these are used for heavy demolition and large scale intensive mining operations, as well as being used to quickly seal tunnels if water pockets are mined into, or assaulting large targets.

*Large Cased Manabombs should be handled/hoofled carefully, especially due to the large radius

-DAMAGE: causes an additional +18 damage per roll

-RADIUS: 20M

-ADDITIONAL EFFECTS: always inflicts a 2 turn Stun, but inflicts Shock for 2 turns on a max critical

-ALWAYS inflicts Bleeding OR Severe Bleeding on a critical

 

-DAMAGE: none, unless choking on smoke

-EFFECTS: causes a -4 penalty to all Perception/Scouting/Wilderness Survival rolls, including the use of NVG or Starlight vision modes, but not Thermal/other technological means or esoteric effects

-RADIUS: 10M cloud in moderate wind for 1 turn, 20M cloud in light wind for 2 turns, 30M cloud in bare wind for 3 turns, 50M cloud when used inside a confined area.

-ADDITIONAL EFFECTS: none.

 

In most systems this has an indirect firing range of 3,000M, and an indirect shelling range of up to 5,500 meters.

-DAMAGE: causes an additional +15 damage per roll

-RADIUS: 20M

-ADDITIONAL EFFECTS: inflicts a 3 turn Stun and Severe Bleeding against unarmored targets, though causes Shock on a max critical; reduced to a 1 turn Stun against Armored targets

 

An advanced variation of the workhorse Vietnam Era M40 Rocket, the Hydra 70 has a maximum optimal range of 4,000M and a shelling range of roughly 8,000M using the Kiowa's improved targeting systems.

Can be found mounted with numerous other warhead types, including but not limited to: incendiary, armor piercing, white phosphorous, flechette, shrapnel, and smoke, though this is none of the above.

The standard High Explosive variant is typically used for destroying armored convoys, light tanks, mass formations, or suppressing defenders in fortifications; it was also commonly utilized to destroy forests.

-DAMAGE: causes an additional +18 damage per roll

-RADIUS: 15M

-ADDITIONAL EFFECTS: ALWAYS inflicts Bleeding & Stun for 3 turns, OR inflicts Severe Bleeding and Shock on a max critical for 5 Turns

 

-DAMAGE: causes an additional +5 damage per roll

-RADIUS: 5M

-ADDITIONAL EFFECTS: inflicts Stun on a max critical

 

Intended to be an equal replacemarent for the (still) outrageously expensive (and routinely unstable) manabombs, managel was initially developed from research after coming into contact with the, then, poorly understood Lava Leech species. Subsequent research and stress testing revealed a number of slight Elemarental faults, and at the time Princess Celestia approved Harlon’s request to proceed with further modifications.

While considered a marginal success during testing as it was found to be highly adaptable, the ability to infuse moderate amounts of specific Elemarental or arcane energies made usage much more appealing. However, the temporal disaster which occurred later prevented it from seeing use for nearly 1,500 years.

Harlon’s prime lab journal was recovered and underwent significant study by Spiral, whom attempted to produce small amounts.. with varying levels of errors due to his own Elemarental instabilities. Settling on the basic version, several bottles were finally produced and tested, though he would disappear before finally completing the project, and at current those are still locked away.

Most Elemarental infusion processes dramatically increase managel's potential, though as one can imagine, attempting to combine managel with a manabomb would be an awfully poor idea. (“And it was. I…. ….honestly can’t even try to explain. The resources and standards they utilized are far beyond my own standards of explosives creation. If you gave me ten years to produce one of the Elemarental recipes using purely unicorn methodology, I wouldn’t be able to replicate it.” -Hodch)

Despite the potentially higher maximum stability of managel, the recipe is still (TECHNICALLY) unfinished, and must still be handled with care, as any Explosives or Assault roll under 4 causes ALL managel compounds to detonate almost immediately.

-DAMAGE: causes +8 damage per roll; if infused by a specific Elemarent causes +8 of the intended Elemarental damage per roll; if infused with non-elemarental energies causes +8 Anti-Elemarental OR relevant (Mystic, Spectral, etc.) damage per roll

-RADIUS: variable 3M to 15M depending on shape

-ADDITIONAL EFFECTS: if NOT infused will inflict Shock on a max critical; IF infused inflicts the advanced status effect matching Elemarental infusion; if infused with non-elemarental energies may either ignore 1/2 of the target's DR (if in less than Medium Armor) OR cause 1/2 more Armor damage

*Formerly under revision by Inquisitor Flash, now suspended due to severe injuries

 

Due to the sheer amount of mixed charges, usually large amounts of fertilizer compounds, high grade fuels, black powder, and other ersatz compounds, bombs such as these create a high pressure shockwave which greatly increases the effective shrapnel radius.

Often used by saboteurs, revolutionaries, and guerrillas due to being economical, efficient, and causing a great deal of terror.

-DAMAGE: causes an additional +8 damage per roll

-RADIUS: 20M

-ADDITIONAL EFFECTS: ALWAYS causes Severe Bleeding on unarmored or lightly armored targets, does not inflict Bleeding on Armored targets, and inflicts Stun for 3 turns on a max critical

 

However, more advanced recipes can greatly increase the potential harm; one common method is including extremely fine magnesium, aluminum, or lithium shavings, or even iron oxide flakes, which nearly triples the resulting thermal reactions.

-DAMAGE: causes an additional +3 damage and +3 Fire damage per roll, sets the target on Fire, then causes 3 Fire damage for the following 3/6/9/12 turns (depends upon Basic/Expert/Master/Grandmaster Engineering skill of the producer)

-RADIUS: variable 2 to 15M spread depending on base chemicals

-ADDITIONAL EFFECTS: has an increasing chance of causing Burns to Unarmored/Light Armored/Medium armored targets on max criticals

 

Fairly useless… unless one is facing a cloud of wasps, hornets, mosquitoes, or unusually large spiders under a decrepit Australian house. You WILL be laughed at otherwise.

-DAMAGE: causes an additional +2 damage and +2 Fire per roll

-RADIUS: 1M to 2M

-ADDITIONAL EFFECTS: observers WILL mock you… unless they are also under attack.

 

-DAMAGE: causes an additional +3 damage per roll

-RADIUS: 8M

-ADDITIONAL EFFECTS: Armor Pierce 2 (negates 2DR), always inflicts Bleeding to Unarmored targets, but causes Severe Bleeding on a max critical to Unarmored/Light Armored targets

 

Finally redeveloped for ‘precision’ use in Bigmaw's weapon, the Ganet Croix, either Serra or Twisted Wing stole the research book containing instructions on how to replicate it, also containing several other recipes.

(“Much as I’d like to say otherwise, this is the only one that got any real Councilierge interest. Lava Leeches ain’t exactly easy to come by, and the replacemarents they used are damn expensive. If you knew somepony in the Dragonspines, they’d be able to procure everything needed to make it, sure, but the Dragons have hated Stalliongrad for thousands of years before it was founded. That leaves only one real question: why’d they even order this stuff made if they never USED any?” -Twisted Wing)

Taking note of Taffilon's mild, easily contained explosive properties, Spiral chose to utilize it as a gunpowder alternative for cartridge-based kinetic weaponry by decreasing the joule output with fine grade cellulose and other bufferents to lower the amount of charge necessary.

The compound was tested extensively for several weeks, Spiral constantly adapting and modifying the compound, though one subsequent ‘test’ by Jeff revealed the need for a greater amount of bufferant via destroying a common, albeit rather weak, semiautomatic pistol. Spiral finally achieved a near-perfect 1:1 ratio of weight and density for complete replacemarent of various gunpowders.

When used in its native state, Taffilon is a low grade explosive compound that requires either an electrical, chemical, or high-thermal based ignition source, rendering it quite useful in heightening the damage potential and lowering the weight of standard human explosives, whether in grenades or improvised munitions.

-DAMAGE: causes an additional +3/6/9/12 damage per roll

-RADIUS: 1M/2M/3M/4M

-ADDITIONAL EFFECTS: causes a 1 turn Stun on a max critical

 

-DAMAGE: causes 1 damage per turn to biological targets while in the cloud, triples Fatigue while inhaled, and inflicts a -5 penalty to all Perception/Scouting/Wilderness Survival rolls.

-RADIUS: 10M cloud in moderate wind for 1 turn, 15M cloud in light wind for 2 turns, 20M cloud in bare wind for 2 turns, and 30M cloud in no wind for 3 turns.

-ADDITIONAL EFFECTS: can Stun on a critical, depending on conditions

 

*NOTE: ALL forms of aerosol Poisons and Toxins are considered illegal in Equestria and across most of Tallus.. unless specifically allowed.

-DAMAGE: initially causes +2 damage per roll, increasing to +4 on the second turn, +6 on the third turn, +8 on the fourth turn, +10 on the fifth turn, +15 on the sixth turn, +20 on seventh turn, +25 on the eighth turn, and so on

-RADIUS: 5M cloud in moderate wind for 1 turn, 10M cloud in light wind for 2 turns, 15M cloud in bare wind for 2 turns, 20M cloud in no wind for 3 turns, 25M cloud when used inside a confined area.

-ADDITIONAL EFFECTS: prison time. A lot of it. Don't drop the soap. Or do

 

Contrary to popular belief, the Russian acronym "RPG" actually stands for, when properly translated, "rocket-assisted grenade", NOT "rocket-propelled grenade". Shut the fuck up, dumbasses.

-DAMAGE: causes an additional +10 damage per roll

-RADIUS: 10M

-ADDITIONAL EFFECTS: ALWAYS inflicts Bleeding and causes Stun for 2 turns, unless a target has Heavy/Custom armor

 

This warhead's shaped explosive charge delivers a lethal stream of super-heated, 4,000 degree copper-plasma through plating to incapacitate and kill tank crews.

For obvious reasons it has a narrow direct kill radius, instead relying on over pressurization and heat generation inside a confined space to cause secondary lethal effects.

-DAMAGE: causes an additional +30 Plasma damage per roll, though has variable penetration against armor (1” inch of advanced composite ceramics to 10M against reinforced concrete)

-ADDITIONAL EFFECTS: will ONLY fuze on Armored or Heavily Armored targets, ignores all DR, and inflicts Scorched

 

When manabombs are exposed to Tallus air, they become extremely unstable and volatile, able to detonate seemingly at will.

Some suspect manabombs CAN detonate just by looking at one harshly enough. (“Technically true. …...I will neither confirm nor deny what your stare is asking me.” -Hodch)

*Small manabombs MUST be handled/hoofled with extreme care as any Explosives or Assault roll under a result of 3 will cause one to immediately detonate.

-DAMAGE: causes an additional +6 damage per roll

-RADIUS: 10M

-ADDITIONAL EFFECTS: inflicts a 1 turn Stun on unarmored or lightly armored targets, but inflicts Stun for 2 turns on a max critical against Armored targets

 

When the case's lid is removed and the manabomb inside is exposed to Tallus air, they become extremely unstable and volatile, able to detonate seemingly at will.

Some suspect manabombs CAN detonate just by looking at one harshly enough.

*Small Cased Manabombs should be hoofled/handled carefully, especially due to their radius

-DAMAGE: causes an additional +12 damage per roll

-RADIUS: 10M

-ADDITIONAL EFFECTS: inflicts a 1 turn Stun on unarmored or lightly armored targets, but inflicts Stun for 2 turns on a max critical against Armored targets

-ALWAYS inflicts Severe Bleeding

-RADIUS: 10M

-ADDITIONAL EFFECTS: inflicts a 1 turn Stun on unarmored or lightly armored targets, but inflicts Stun for 2 turns on a max critical against Armored targets

-ALWAYS inflicts Bleeding

 

*Using this is a CRITICAL war crime against sapients. You have been warned.

-DAMAGE: causes +6 Chemical/Fire damage per roll, then incurs 6 Chemical/Fire damage for the following 3 turns, also inflicting a -6 penalty to all Perception/Scouting/Wilderness Survival rolls to those afflicted.

-RADIUS: 5M

-ADDITIONAL EFFECTS: always inflicts Burns on a light/medium armored target, but inflicts Scorched on an unarmored target.

 

 

*****

NOTE: THE COMPARATIVE ARMAMARENT REDUCTION of LIFE TEST, also to be known as "The CARL Test":

Using Carl the Useless [a Tallus Eldritch-Flora Abomination created by Kraut throwing a vegetarian burrito into the Magitek Furnace one night] as a base, this rule is intended to give a formative, highly simplified means to calculate the damage of odd, highly esoteric, or truly unique weaponry.

#1: THESE calculations require that a Carl the Useless target dummy, for testing purposes, IS a Heavily Armored target with 0DR (as 2-Stage Warheads require a certain physical density & mass to properly fuze); however for the purposes of testing exotic weaponry, Carl would not have any DR whatsoever but also be considered a Heavily Armored target to create a 'clean' & realistic damage scale result.

#2: presupposing that Carl the Useless is a Heavily Armored target dummy with infinite HP, 0DR, and significant physical density, the average calculated median damage range of a PG-7V Single-Stage Warhead would cause from 60-100 damage to Carl given the use of 4 rolls with standard improvements, or 5-6 rolls without said improvements.

#2: FURTHER supposing that if Carl the Useless was a Heavily Armored, Fragile target, AND with significant physical density, then the median damage range would be from 120-200, given the same rolls & improvemarents as stated in the above paragraph.

#3: SINCE the PG-7V Warhead does not function in the same manner as the 1-Stage Warhead, the pencil thin stream of of plasma-copper (to be referred to as Plasma for simplicity's sake) will instead bore through the following:

-solid ceramic plating or reinforced concrete up to 2' thick,

-steel spaced armor configurations up to 12" thick (from edge of exterior plate to edge of interior plate), while also counting the SPACING MATERIAL itself, usually either concrete or ceramic though both were historically used in conjunction with each other,

-4" of steel RHA, also known as rolled homogeneous armor, though this thickness was historically used on battleships, heavy tanks, and fortified locations;

-2" of medium soft & hard steel-tungsten composite RHA layered armor configurations;

-1" of multilayer hard steel-tungsten alloy RHA;

-approximately 1/2" of Early Dynasty diamondine;

-approximately 1/4” of Late Dynasty era diamondine;

-approximately 1/8” of modern Tallus diamondine.

#4: AS the plasma-copper stream would be able to bore through a PAIR of Carl the Useless target dummies which would still have infinite HP, 0DR, and still being Heavily Armored, this would cause near-instantaneous charring of tissue to ash in a 4" diameter, 10M long outward-tapering cylinder.

 

FINAL TEST CONCLUSION: taking all of the above factors into account, the MAXIMUM POTENTIAL DAMAGE OUTPUT of the 2-Stage Warhead can be SAFELY calculated to be 300% more so than the maximum potential damage output of the PG-7V Single-Stage Warhead which does not include the effects of Plasma.

THE effects of Plasma are thus improved at the baseline and top end, therefore increased to compensate all prior knowledge before this testing scenario achieved success.

OPERATOR MEDICAL SUPPLIES:

 

-Bandage Roll: an easily acquired, stabilized cloth packet containing two Tallus mareufactured spider-silk bandage rolls, each 3" wide and 4' long. Infused with a light alchemical clotting and regeneration agent.

Mostly used for staunching minor to moderate wounds, stabilizing a limb, and splinting fractures with an appropriate object.

*Grants a [1d6+3] roll and stops Severe Bleeding, may cover multiple wounds on a single limb

*2 uses per pack

 

-Blood Pack: a single use IV (intravenous) packet of safely stabilized human blood. Reduces the effects of Bleeding and Shock during the recovery process.

For obvious reasons, keeping any in stock is nearly impossible unless in Razorback Fortress.

*Grants a [1d6+4] roll, reduces Fatigue by 2 levels, and restores 2HP/turn for 4 turns

-Disaster Trauma Pack: a fully refit, human style frame backpack weighing 80 pounds, covered in a fluorescent purple and blue flashing metalchemical-paint.

Specifically designed by Nova Flicker from various medical source outlets across Tallus, these purpose built, painfully expensive packs are put together piece by piece, taking advantage of the most advanced Alchemical, medical, and surgical components available to Razorback Company's allies.

Intended to rapidly treat an entire company, compony, or companeigh's worth of critically injured humans and ponies, though the cost of a SINGLE one is roughly double that of the standard contract, it sure as fuck will not let even the most strict, demanding (or demarending) medical professional down.

CONTENTS: 800x advanced rapid-absorbing compression rolls, dressings, bandages, wound pads, for both human and pony, sizes ranging from 2"x2" to 16"x16", precut rolls of a newly released alchemical-infused silk 'tape' that more resembles superglue gel than anything else, 10x titanium protective chest wound plates padded with a 3MM layer of bio-ablative rubber, 80x rapid setting glue-suture kits made from the silk of a hostile, silk spinning worm-like creature found in the outer reaches of the Crystal Empire, along with dozens of liquid, pill, and powder disinfectants, styptics, painkillers, antibiotics, antifungals, antiparasitics, antivirals, burn gels, frostbite treatmarent gels, and much more.

40x small vials each of a low grade Dampener, Detox, Restoration, Regeneration, and Waker. The dosages for each are too low to cause Arcane Poisoning, and should NOT be used without Alchemical knowledge.

For creating splints or internal fracture stabilizing systems should a unicorn or Crystal pony be around (or rich enough) to have their hooves on one of these, 10x rolls of 12"x120" quartzine sheeting also comes with a reverse U-hooked diamondine blade for cutting the same.

20x medium sheet-paper titanium tubes of an advanced Alchemical glue compound are likewise included, capable of rapidly sealing over critically bleeding wounds.. which even works underwater.

5 complete sets of diamondine surgical tools, including the standard 8 types of forceps

***************************************************************************************************************************************

ALCHEMY LAB: takes up the west side of the Library's second floor. The center is taken up by a large, wide half-circular work table with a comfortable swiveling chair in an inset, giving one the ability to remain stationary while working. Some of Doctor Harlon's recovered tools and equipmarent were used to furnish the lab, with the remainder stored in Spiral's lab.

The table itself is partially automated through the Fortress's demi-sentient, and when activated provides a small hololith menu with a list of all currently known recipes, allowing an Operator or pony to request specific ingredients to be: ground, heated, burned, calcinated, condensed, cooled, or dried, continuing with their own project or projects in the meantime.

 

Non-offensive compounds and fluids that are similar in nature can become Permarenent, allowing the contents of a container to regenerate each night, while further improvemarents can grant the contents of a single container from two to four capabilities.

 

50: Base Alchemy Item or Reagent: 1 use, highly weak effect

100: Minor Alchemy Item or Reagent: 1 use, weak effect

150: Common Alchemy Item: 1 use, standard effect

250: Rare Alchemy Item: 1 use, exceptionally high effect

400: Perfected Alchemy Item: 1 use, can be combined, extraordinary effect

800: LEGENDARY Alchemy Item: 2 uses, can be combined. May make an Alchemy item PERMARENENT at this stage.

999+: UNIQUE LEGENDARY Alchemy item: 3 uses, may not be combined further. At this stage, 3 individual Alchemy items that have become Permarenent may be combined into a single elixir.

 

-RULES FOR PERMARENENT ALCHEMY ITEMS:

#1: an alchemy item must FIRST reach the creation point count before being considered completed.

#2: after being completed, if the item qualifies for permarenency, one may begin attempting to make it permarenent; HOWEVER, ALL base result rolls of 1 WILL cause a 50% loss of all points accumulated on that turn.

#3: when attempting to combine permarenent items, ALL base result rolls of 1 WILL cause a 50% loss of all points accumulated on that turn.

ALCHEMICAL ITEMS:

 

-Adrenaline Surge, Basic: available in powder, tablet, or liquid forms, this potent concoction of rare natural chemicals causes a brief surge of adrenaline while also forcing the body to temporarily harden its musculature and skeleton, though not without causing several drawbacks.

-Cryptus: a thick, syrupy black liquid that tastes like overripe blackberries, grudgingly given to the demi-sentient by Naliyna. Since both the recipe and ingredients used are both highly guarded secrets, the demi-sentient will refuse all requests for information.

Normally used by Crystal ponies to ignore the extreme, often Rime-created temperatures in the Outer Empire regions, and used defensively against marely of the ice-based creatures that inhabit that region. This concoction can, with a slight modification, also be used by living beings to enter a form of suspended animation if they are severely injured, or to survive hostile environmarents until being recovered, by consuming two in quick succession.

May become Permarenent

-Points required: 250

*Addiction Chance: minor. (“Except in Mercy’s case. No joke: she drank TWO of them, one right after another, middle of the night, and… let’s just say that was the start of nights three, four, five, and six. For her, I mean. I wasn’t about to deal with ANY of that, and ain’t prepared to either.” -Twisted Wing)

-Dragon's Bile: a recipe long held by the Dragonspine Mountains Mining Company; bought by Naliyna and retrieved by Sunny.

A small, fragile glass canister containing a liquid composed of Lava Leech gel (or similar), several concentrated gastric byproducts from drakes or dragons, one bile gland from any of the Dragonspines' flammable pests, magnesite powder (a naturally occurring composite of iron and magnesium oxides), a tiny amount of promethine, several activation components, and a hardening agent.

When exposed to oxygen, Dragon's Bile becomes a difficult to remove gel, clinging to the target and igniting upon impact which causes an intense boiling heat that a few have likened to being the target of a Volfiurge Drake's high pressure steam exhalation.

-Points required: 400

*Adds +1 to all Alchemy rolls, the total results-2 per roll indicate the amount of physical Fire elemarental damage caused to the target

-Points required: 100.

*Roll Alchemy, total results-2 for each roll indicate physical Ice damage dealt to the target

 

-Gloss: a packet of dark blue powder composed of several reagents, usually stolen from the Ethereal plane, meant to be held in the mouth and spat at a physical being, or may be delivered via other liquids and means.

-Points required: 50

*Roll Alchemy, the total results-2 from each roll cause that amount of Poison damage the NEXT turn; after that use the target becomes immune for 3 turns

-Refresh: a bright pink fluid composed of numerous powerful smelling ingredients, mostly magical and a few mystical in nature. Much more effective than smelling salts, and does not cause problems for the consumer.

-Sunlight: a powerful, bright white body-altering fluid that causes the consumer's skin to glow white, reducing the harm done by Spectral beings. Also makes the consumer a temporary light source for 3 turns.

-May become Permarenent

-Points required: 400

*Basic Alchemy: produces a 50M radius of light and gains +2DR against all Spectral attacks for 3 turns

*Expert Alchemy: produces a 100M radius of light and gains +3DR against all Spectral attacks for 3 turns

*Grandmaster Alchemy: produces a 200M radius of light and gains +6DR against all Spectral attacks for 3 turns

*Addiction Chance: theoretically none. (“Hm? No, not possible. It’s primarily used as a light source for growing plants underground in Stalliongrad. You’d be surprised how marely farms we… used to have.” -Dancing Eyes)

 

-Torch: a small, fast, napalm-like red gel which can be created from any number of Tallus-native flammable substances, predominantly magical tree saps or Lava Leech gel, that clings to and scorches a target once exposed to oxygen.

-Points required: 50

*Roll Alchemy, the total results-2 per roll cause that amount of of physical Fire Elemarental damage done to the target, afterwards causing 4 physical Fire damage for the following 2 turns.

 

-Toxin: a murky, dim green fluid composed of several volatile anaphylactic agents, both organic and inorganic, that rapidly seep through a living being's skin, or through wounds caused by weaponry, quickly weakening the target's physical capabilities.

Miss Bitch didn’t like it. I didn’t like it either. Then.. something showed us a reason for every single Psion to keep a dose on hoof at all times.” -Dancing Eyes)

While the exact specifications of the compounds used in its creation are unknown, and likely will be as its virtually impossible to interrogate her for information, this substance solely enhances the Psionic capabilities of both Changelings and earth ponies. This allows them to utilize their capabilities with slightly greater effects, mostly resulting from ignoring the constant pressure of reality, though not without some danger.

("Tastes fucking horrible!" -Hodch)

-May become Permarenent

-Points required: 900

*All Alchemy ranks: the consumer MUST add +1 to all Psionicism and related abilities for 6 turns

*Addiction Chance: EXTREME.

 

-Waker: a dim, bubbly pink fluid composed of numerous powerful smelling ingredients, both physical and mystical in nature. While moderately less effective than smelling salts, it does provide more benefits, although some ponies have grudgingly admitted to LIKING the scent.

-May become Permarenent

-Points required: 200

*Roll Alchemy, total results*2 indicate the percentage of conscious awareness returned to the target on the 1st turn, doubling on the second turn, tripling on the third turn

*Side Effects: revives an Unconscious target that is Sleeping, or removes and prevents Confusion & Charm for an awake user/recipient for 3 turns

*Addiction Chance: (“Why is everypony looking at.. me? I do not enjoy the scent, only.. the taste.” -Mercy

“You…. YOU DRANK IT?!” -Doctor Tipper)

 

-Wormwood: a tiny vial of a thick, strong tasting, murky yellow fluid created from the concentrated saps of three particular wormwood plant species, treated with a small amount of an Otherworldly chemical from the Vortex plane.

-May carry a maximum of 5

-May become Permarenent

-Points required: 200

*All Alchemy ranks: when consumed, injected, or applied to physical wounds, the concoction rapidly scours through a living being's bloodstream, organs, eventually reaching deep musculature, skeleton, and organs while targeting and killing parasites, both insectoid and others, for 3 turns, also destroying their remains before dispersing.

*Addiction Chance: “(IMPOSSIBLE! AND DON’T ASK ME AGAIN!” -Doctor Tipper)

-Tracking Soap Cube: writing a name on the cube grants a [1d6+2] <Tracking ability, where the cube will attempt to find its target via emitting noise and light.

*The pitch and intensity of light increases the closer the proximity to the target, and will indicate the target's relative direction

 

-Yellow Soap Cube: used to send messages. Once a short message has been written onto the surface, along with the name of the intended recipient, it will attempt to find the target and relay the message.

Grants an additional [1d6+20] for Engineering applications, cannot be used for Blacksmithing.

 

*****

 

-MAGITEK FURNACE: an alchemically formed clay brick furnace with a 4'x4' opening, the cavity 6'x6' wide and tall, 10' deep, taking up the entirety of the central rearmost work table in the workshop close to the Armory dividing wall.

MASTER PROFICIENCY REQUIRED:

-Blacksteel: 2x 3 pound ingots in stock.

 

-Bluesteel: 2x 3 pound ingots in stock.

 

-Empire Crystal: obscene amounts in stock. Can be molded, shaped, and used similarly to plexiglass.

*Requires a skilled Crystal pony to create weapons, armor, or devices from

 

-Greensteel: 2x 3 pound ingots in stock.

 

-Kanpri: small amount in stock. An extremely rare red, blue, and purple glowing metal, only found in or near volcanic regions. The abnormally high tensile strength and wear resistance means kanpri is mostly used for weaponry, though makes excellent, if difficult to adjust or reforge armor. When properly refined the grain forms unique wavy patterns.

 

-Lithium: small amount in stock. Found mainly in metallic or liquid states, though much more rarely in crystallized forms. Used to create both manabombs and power crystals by Saddle Arabians, but is mostly used as a semiflux to bind magical elemarents together.

Was used during the Late Dynasty Era to create elemarentally absorbent armors, however that process has since been lost.

 

-Mythraline: not in stock. A secret alloy created by refining mythril and unknown elemarents, though can only be created by Sorcerers.

Easier to repair than mythril for less weight, though costs twice as much and takes three times longer to produce.

 

-Mythril: not in stock. An extremely rare white metal only found from the bark of trees in specific ancient forests. Has abnormally high durability, ductility, and enchantmarent potential, so is mostly used for armor.

 

-Palladius (Metallic form) and Paladine (Crystalline form): not in stock. Essentially the same as palladium except it isn't radioactive. More often used as an alloy in specialized Solar faction armor and weaponry. Also HATES.

 

-Promethite: tiny amount in stock. A partially magical composite of magneighsium, iron, lithium, silicon, and minor, binding traces of Elemarental Flame (or potentially Lava). HIGHLY dangerous to use in enclosed locations, though is favored by dragonsmiths over compressed charcoal or magma drake aid.

Most often used to create Spark Lamps, which operate by shaving small amounts off an internal cylinder, then lighting the shavings under extreme oxygen deprivation to precisely control thermal reactivity.

 

-Redsteel: 2x 3 pound ingots in stock.

 

-Tungsten Basilisk scales: obscene amounts in stock. Can be carved into shape or heat molded, though takes a great deal of time to do either.

 

-Titanium-Steel Alloy Plates: vast amounts in stock.

 

-Whitesteel: 2x 5 pound ingots in stock.

 

-Yttrium: tiny amount stock. Doesn't have any radioactive qualities; is only used for runic scribing or as a catalyst in sorcerous rituals.

 

-Golden Regal Drake scales: several pounds in stock.

 

 

GRANDMASTER PROFICIENCY REQUIRED:

-Diamondine: slightly less than 4 tons in stock. A tightly guarded alchemical initial blend of 60% diamond and 40% silver fused with either kanpri or mythril, created through a month long alchemical process. (“Both variations have downsides. No. Explaining would take months.” -Krinza)

One of the top five strongest materials normally available on Tallus, yet the second heaviest known: a 1CMx1CMx1CM cube weighs nearly double that of an equivalent sized tungsten cube.

 

-Iridine: not in stock. Essentially the same as iridium except it isn't radioactive.

Functionally used as a catalyst for high level Alchemy or Grandmaster armor smiths for ritualized custom armor, and as such is rarely sold in large amounts.

 

-Lumen: <1 pound in stock. A rare, Lunar Elemarental crystalline-pseudometal only found on the Moon that is, equally rarely, used as an extreme catalyst in Grandmaster Alchemy by certain Lunars. It is known that, before the Lunar-Solar War, select Moon-aligned Sorcerors were allowed to utilize small amounts to undertake approved rituals.

*Cannot be legally owned or used by a non-Lunar faction member

(“There are a few exceptions. Namely, being given something made from it. Stabbed with it. ...mistakenly eating it.” -Hodch

“The fuck are you looking at me for?!” -Dancing Eyes)

 

-Lumin: >4 pounds in stock. Refined from Lumen into metallic form, it still features a large amount of crystalline streaks. (“No. And don’t ask again. Not even in your head.” -Twisted Wing)

Can be used to create highly specialized, yet dismally hard to produce reflective or deflective armors. Essentially a form of magical aluminum, except without all the drawbacks, toxicity, and mutagenic problems.

*Cannot be legally owned or used by a non-Lunar faction member

 

-Promithene: not in stock. Often called fire-rock in its natural, highly stable state throughout the Dragonspine Mountains, Promethine is typically used as a replacemarent for wood and charcoal due to cheapness, ease of access, and widespread abundance. Also makes a great portable campfire.

When consumed by certain drakes and wyrms, promithene allows them to temporarily breathe flame.

*Can be purified and used as an alloy in heat resistant composite metals, unlike promethite.

 

-Promynkrake: NOT in stock. One of the more unusual finds through the Dragonspine Mountains numerous volcano chains, this unstable metacomposite is only used by dragon-smiths whom love to live dangerously while happily working in their forges. Or becoming PART of their forges...

It is, effectively, a semiliquid lava rock that absorbed a promethite and promythene composite, got blasted with ultra steroids, dosed with enough hallucinogens to instantly kill a Wasteland Moose, slammed with hyperamphetamines, and then was able to slowly cool, WITHOUT exploding, into a partially metastable matrix.

Is also sometimes used by the truly desperate, the astoundingly stupid, or clinically insane… but mostly those with a fiery-explosive kink.

 

-Titanium: >30 pounds in stock.

 

*****

-Diamond Hyfalgryph Scales: 12 in stock. A blocky, 4' tall and 3' wide rainbow hued diamond scale, somewhat resembling dragon scales, belonging to an Eldritch being widely known across Tallus, hundreds of other worlds, and even the various Planes themselves.

Deemed the Singing Abomination for its incessant, and to some ponies, utterly ridiculous, tendency to initiate musical duels against unsuspecting beings, the Hyfalgryph will, to those that win, grant that small number a sliver of his vast library of musical and instrumarental knowledge and tricks, often catapulting those lucky few to great stardom.

*When used to create armor or a shield, a portion of the Hyfalgryph's Otherworld-Eldritch resilience remains, reducing Casting, Elemarental, Psionic, and ANY other esoteric harm by 1/4

*1 owned by Hollow & Lont

*2 owned by Dante

*6 unowned

*1 USED by Lont & Pareidolia

 

-Flawless Gems: 68 in stock ("At least, in the Workshop. There are probably a few thousand in the Enclave though I do not have time to check." -Krinza)

 

-Small Poison Dragon(?) scales: a set of 6 rounded, small buckler sized, yet highly misshapen scales with near-perfect Poison and Acid resistance.

(“Hm. No, I do not think that is correct. Those must have come from the mutated Emerald Drake, now known as a Vitriole subspecies, which Razorback dispatched two years prior to now. Even the most feral, least civil Dragon would never allow such disgustingly ugly and unbearably scented protection to adorn their hide.” -Unknown Support Striker, Septimber 38th 29,998)

 

***************************************************************************************************************************************

WEAPON, ARMOR, & ITEM CREATION RULES:

#1: when creating or improving a weapon, armor, or other items, the total number of points required to increase it's rank, base modifiers, and number of enchantmarent slots is cumulative and may not skip ranks

*An item CANNOT be taken from +1 to +3 in a single attempt, or from 1DR to 3DR

 

#2: items may only gain additional effects when utilizing esoteric skills such as: Casting, Crystal-Forging/Crystal Runes, Druidry, Enchanting, Mysticism, Sorcery, Runic Scribing, or other esoteric abilities.

*Furthermore, the number and strength of effects are limited solely to the knowledge and skills of that PC/NPC

 

#3: if a armor or weapon qualifies for an attempt to become Permarenent, a PC or NPC may then begin the process of improving an item to LEGENDARY status.

From this point on, any base result of 1 will cause a 50% loss of all points accumulated on that turn, essentially fixing their slip ups, screw ups, and the minor damage involved.

*This condition applies to traditional blacksmithing, engraving, hand milling, computerized shaping, or esoteric procedures.

 

#4: before working on a weapon, armor, or other item, the maximum potential modifiers and extra abilities will be discussed with the main GM first.

*If an item is listed as Unique, it may not be entirely copied

 

*****

MATERIAL BONUSES: materials add to the total number of crafting points when creating a weapon, armor, or item. The amount is cumulative per EACH different material, not per each USE of a material, thus if Steel is used once the item will gain +100 to it's total crafting count, though a second use of Steel will not gain another +100.

 

Raw materials add: +50 points. Examples include raw ore, raw gems, untreated wood, and other base materials that have not undergone any form of processing or refinemarent.

 

Refined materials add: +100 points. Examples include processed metals and materials, basic alloys, shaped gems, sealed or hardened wood, and other refined materials.

 

Quality materials add: +150 points. Examples include metallic alloys, specialized inorganic materials, exquisite gems, enchanted wood, and other specialized materials.

 

Arcane materials add: +300 points. Examples include specialty or enchanted alloys, Otherworldly or Planar wood, flawless enchanted gems, and unrefined Otherworldly materials. Also includes the unique elemarental steels and the various alchemically produced metallic gem materials.

 

Quality Arcane materials add: +400 points. Examples include bodily parts from Mystical beings, refined Otherworldly or Planar metals and materials, and Planar gems.

 

Exceptional Arcane materials add: +500 points. Examples include raw Eldritch bodily parts, metals, materials, and Spectral bodily parts.

 

Unique Arcane materials add: +750 points. Examples include refined Eldritch metals or materials, Dragon scales, exceptionally well preserved bodily parts, and other suitably unique materials.

COOKING GUIDE:

Result of 5 or lower = INEDIBLE! You really, REALLY don't want to try and eat this. RE: the “INCREASE PRESSURE” incident.

 

Result of 10 = it's either burnt or undercooked. Throw it out, really.

 

A result of 15 = too rare, or way overdone. Unless you like blue steak or rubberized steak, toss it in the garbage.

 

A result of 20 = just about right or well done, 3-star chef. What you'd expect from most restaurants, really.

 

A result of 25 = excellent, 4-star chef. Looks good, tastes great, though might have an errant lemon slice in there just to fuck with you.

 

A result of 30 = not quite perfect, 4.5-star chef. Takes quite a while to get to this point, though there's no lemons here.

 

A result of 40 = near perfect, beginner 5-star chef. At least that's the way it tastes, though probably looks a bit funny.

 

A result of 50 = pretty much perfect, true 5-star chef.

 

A result of 60 = literally perfect. There's nothing more than can be done to make this food any more visually appealing, or taste any better. Be lucky if you get something like this.

 

A result of 69+ = STOP RIGHT THERE.

BASE USE VEHICLES:

 

 

***************************************************************************************************************************************

Although fairly new, it earned a reputation for being a tough, trustworthy long ranged vehicle, capable of being configured to perform most mission specifications. Although it wasn’t designed to be modular, it does share a fair number of components with numerous similar vehicles.

 

By replacing the original engine with a turbo-diesel JP8 burning version for additional range, and to give it enough power to carry further modifications, this allowed the original interior and exterior paneling to be removed, which was then replaced with formed steel armor plating for additional longevity. (“Eh, we’re working on a type of fluid ceramic cushioned spring titanium plate. Give us a few weeks.” -Unknown Operator)

 

Due to complete redesign as a patrol vehicle, the original suspension was removed and replaced by a vastly superior dune buggy version in order to ensure the passengers weren't nauseous at all times. A heavy roll cage & roof rack with a turret ring mount for an attached M2 Browning MG was installed, along with standard linkages to allow it to be carried by helicopters. (“Except the first version. Lot of eye-bolts fractured or cracked to shit. Why? Because Military-Industrial Complex. That’s fucking why.” -Axel)

 

While the original seats were replaced by spring-bolted, shock absorbent ones, the Dagor's ability to seat three passengers rather comfortably and allow them to scope out a region or fire upon enemies with an exceptionally wide field of view renders it invaluable, although it does not have any doors to speak of.

 

The bed in the rear was replaced by an all-steel, downsized version of a pickup bed with two large heavy steel locking containers, able to be used as double seats, which are rather uncomfortable, giving it a great amount of storage space and transport ability. Due to this it can, in a pinch, be utilized as an adhoc medical transport.

 

The front driver's compartment is semi-armored and considerably more comfortable than nearly all military vehicles prior to it, also featuring a simple, robust steering assembly, while the windshield is a thick composite plexiglass which, by most definitions, is considered in the upper bulletproof class, capable of absorbing heavy calibers up to the .300 WinMag. While anything more will punch through, it does provide a good amount of protection to the driver and passengers.

 

While the Dagor has an average maximum range of 500 miles with the standard load of 4 passengers, their personal equipment, and the ring mount's gunner, its maximum range when fully loaded with 9 passengers and their total loadout is still 380 miles, giving it a considerable edge against most light military vehicles in the modern era.

***************************************************************************************************************************************

 

Decently armored with variable rolled homogeneous steel plate to protect against small arms fire and light artillery shrapnel from virtually all angles, the Recon model comes equipped with a high end analog-electronic radio system, easily capable of taking care of an entire company's needs, and a 250 mile VHF transmitter-receiver unit for extending friendly reconnaissance duties.

 

Common in nearly all modern military vehicles, the Panhard's driver, front spotter/radio operator, and a single rear passenger make use of relatively comfortable shock absorbing crash seats installed into the hull via suspension springs, each of which is reinforced by milled steel brackets to minimize shock from striking a mine, direct hits from man-portable rocket-assisted grenades, and even light battery rockets.

As a standard feature, all Panhard VBL's are mounted with numerous heavy duty brackets and eye-bolts, allowing for transport by helicopter or towing, as well as having roof hatches for both the driver and front passenger.

 

The driver's dashboard features a large bank of digital notification lights to notify various problems such as drivetrain failure, transmission overheating, engine, radiator, or air conditioning failures, and low tire inflation/damage among others.

The spotter/radio operator makes use of a centrally mounted radio control and command system, as well as having access to one of two manual fire extinguishers, the second placed underneath the gunner's hatch.

 

Typical for its era, the VBL Recon is fully Nuclear-Biological-Chemical protected by several layers of semi-hard synthetic rubber sealing systems, and the interior can be underpressurized or overpressured at will by the driver, whom also controls a highly efficient NBC filtration system.

 

When fully sealed with the driver's hatch locked and a 2M snorkel equipped for the engine intake, the VBL Recon becomes fully amphibious, propelled along by a common 10" steel screw-type propeller, though it can only achieve a paltry 5.5KPH due to it's boxy hull and 4.2 ton weight.

 

Despite the relatively bland and unimpressive armor characteristics, the VBL Recon is well defended by a heavily armored cupola in the center of the roof, accessible by an internal hatch. 360 degree traversal allows the gunner to stand comfortably upright and remain well protected, except from overhead targets or precision fire.

A modified Browning M2A1 .50BMG that uses standard 200-round belts is installed in the cupola's front, allowing for effective fire support against infantry, light vehicles, and helicopters out to 800M.

Fitted with a unique, rigid quick change mounting system, the gunner can make use of infrared, thermal, and night vision optics, as well as heavy 8x12 or better 40MM rated scopes, increasing effective engagement range to 1,500M.

 

The rear passenger seat is often used solely by the gunner as there is little space for much else other than the VBL's occupant equipment, ammunition tins, and two fuel cans.

 

When acquired however, this particular VBL had seen a great amount of action, bearing dents from hooves, large claw marks, acid burns, holes probably made by lances, and the other assorted forms of damage considered "normal" on Tallus.

 

Krinza was able to fully restore the VBL to stock specifications with ease, including the addition of much more comfortable seats. Considering giving it a paint job or something else potentially useful, he decided to... do something else entirely:

Using an experimental power crystal retrieved from Harlon's lab, the intervening temporal charge allowed him several hours in which to fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how Flash will interpret his violation of causal, NOT casual, temporal states) perform a number of selective modifications.

 

Starting by greatly improving the external armor using his vast knowledge of alloys, infusion processes, and enchantmarents, Krinza moved on to harden, then induce flexibility throughout the entire frame, lastly doing the same to every other component he could reach.

Unsatisfied with those 'little' (to him at least) improvements, the windows were entirely replaced with quadruple-layered clear diamondine sheets that sandwich transparent, flexible Plexiglass sheets.

THEN he gave it a color-phasing camouflage paint job.

(“I will be improving THIS one as time permits. ..no. To MY specifications.” -Krinza)

***************************************************************************************************************************************

Further modified with a number of physical and electronic features to improve flight stability, responsiveness, electronics command & control, information gathering capabilities, offensive armaments, also allowing for some electronic semi-stealth functionalities, the Stealth Warrior is aptly named.

 

Equipped with a unique combined thermal, night vision, and camera suite located directly above the main rotors in a semi-protected sphere pod, the Kiowa Stealth Warrior is much quieter than it's predecessors. This gives it relative safety in allowing a pilot to 'peek' over terrain in order to identify and mark tanks or other targets for ground, sea, or air attack runs, if the Kiowa itself is unable to perform the job or it's munitions are depleted, and even land to deposit it's passengers if absolutely required.

 

While a co-pilot isn't required for standard operation, the pilot is unable to take advantage of the Mast Mounted Sight's features for the most part, and is entirely unable to utilize an integrated electronic warfare operation suite.

Due to the added equipment, the rear seating arrangement is unfortunately small, able to seat two people, or one pony, on a somewhat narrow padded bench. The rear doors are also small and fairly cramped to get in or out from.

 

This particular Kiowa arrived at the Fortress with a significant amount of external damage from what appeared to be an attack jet's strafing run, judging by the remains of a Skyfish missile's casing still embedded in the pilot's chair.

Partially repaired by Lann and Krinza, the remaining damage was caused from crashing into the workshop besides the holes in the cockpit.

 

Amazingly, the electronic suites, command & control systems, and most of the instrument panels were intact upon arrival. The original glass was replaced with a heavily reinforced plexigrade sandwiched between thin sapphirine sheets for additional protection, and the Kiowa's skin has been fully restored, and even partially reinforced, using the last reserves of purified kanpri in the workshop.

Thanks to the efforts by Jeff, Joe, and Kraut repairing enough damage for Spiral and Krinza to complete it's exterior restoration, the Kiowa is now air worthy ready for further service once more.

 

During the harvest of Khahlani Island, and subsequently Razorback Fortress’ second thorough renovation, Hollow, on numerous whims and with the help of a number of suspicious alcohols, painted the Kiowa's body a red, brown, and light yellow plaid. All four blades were expertly painted to look like chainsaws, both landing struts as logs, each Hellfire missile as a flaming log, the Hydra rocket pod as a thermos, as well as painting the XM296 with a pine cone motif.

 

Two pylons on opposite sides of the OH-58X are capable of being loaded with three different weapon systems: an M3P or M296 .50 BMG heavy machine gun mounted on the left pylon, an LAU-68 or M260 launcher pod with 2.75" Hydra 70 rockets mounted on the right pylon, or a pair of AGM-114 Hellfire missiles mounted on the right pylon.

For obvious reasons Hellfire missiles have little use on Tallus, except possibly against Mechano-Planar Constructs.

***************************************************************************************************************************************

Extensively redesigned based off the ("Fuckin' useless!" -Lonestar) Overshore Lander 1 and 2 APC's, the original production models received several upgrades to act as both anti-drone and anti-Exoframe leaders, culminating in the OL-3. Which is no longer relevant at this time.

Powered by a large, severely classified fusion-core reactor that accepts most physical materials as fuel.

*Larger than the original by six tons, it has been GREATLY overhauled, upgraded, and extensively modified with… damned near everything.

 

An orbitally produced high specification dititanium flex-alloy frame, previously classified though now known as an 8th stage particle-alloy, set atop a five-layered polyaramid hull, is rigid-bolted to the modified base structure.

Declassified titanium alloy panels are spaced by sheets of woven monofilament meta-polyaramids, monoplate graphene, and two panes of Rerculon metamaterial OC9S. (“No, I don’t know what what stuff is. It was their wonder material. They knew how to make it, we simply couldn’t analyze it. Still can’t either.” -Lonestar)

All act as a floatation assistant and provide excellent protection against conventional energy weapons, explosives, and some esoteric effects. Now, however, the OT-4 can reasonably withstand medium ballistic weapons.

Externally protected by overlapping dititanium hard plating, each section has been externally coated by eight layers of nanoceramic ablative coatings between a fusion-spec quartzine-like composite for maximum protection.

Multiple high compression air tanks allow the OT-4's operator to control the vehicle's height in water, either remaining under the surface down to a maximum of 1.5KM, or floating high enough to utilize the forward plasma cannons. (“Limited firin’ arcs on ‘em was due to lackin’ magnetics. Ain’t no one found rare earths, an’the rocks floatin’ in space was drier n’a damn desert.” -Lonestar)

[“….BUT NOT ANY MORE! FUCK YOU EXOTECH BASTARDS!” -Lonestar, Septimber 39th, 29,998, around Dawn]

 

Modified equipment includes four NitrOx filtration units, also capable of filling most air tanks using a variety of adaptive fittings. Eight hyper-compressed air storage tanks provide up to 30 hours of subsurface operation time (depending on depth and number of occupants).

The integral fire suppression system throughout the OL-4’s interior has been redesigned to utilize either a nitrogen-foam, a fast setting liquid bio-ceramic spray, or a minimalist ceramic-carbon dioxide monoblend.

400 refurbished (and slightly modified) Nine Ship ExoTech Facility solid-state octoquantum electronic skin packages located throughout the hull allow both the gunner-operator and technician to monitor local conditions using six hybrid particle scanning arrays, which were significantly improved to nearly match corvette designs.

(“Don’t much know any systems in’is thang. Barely had clearance ta do a few simulations, never got inna real one. Wouldn’ be s’prised if there’s shit locked e’rywhere, ExoTech was a buncha paranoid fuckers. Half th’tech they produced wasn’t fit ta run a toaster. An’ not the RIGHT paranoid fuckers either.” -Lonestar)

[“AND THEY ALL SUCK NOW COMPARED TO THIS!” -Lonestar]

*The base capabilities and systems are classified far above Lonestar's Ocean World 5 access grades, and would require serious reverse-engineering to copy

 

*****

CABIN:

The cabin is accessible through either a pair of large, command-pressurized NBCN sealed hatches on top, or from a sliding access door in the crew cabin's front-central dititanium monoplate, operated by two hydraulic rams, one on the floor, one in the roof. A simple disconnect lever can be switched, allowing the door to be opened via (marginal) application of brute force.

Seating for a driver, gunner-operator, and technician has been greatly improved. Using inspiration from smaller gunboats and limited aerial assets, three highly comfortable, incredibly durable meta-aramic crash seats are equipped with a full suite of reinforced land-sea piloting controls, including a pair of joysticks for precision targeting.

There is enough space between the three to comfortably seat a human or equine on two small, folding crash chairs, though neither have controls and are limited to individual observation.

 

Two large liquid displays take up the entire front cabin’s monoplate interior:

*The left side features a variable sized, tactical view of the local battlefield, able to designate biological, mechanical, magical, hybrid, and pretty much everything else.

Before the first upgrade, this option could only be enabled by a satellite or unit with the proper command codes, though is now capable of managing its own duties due to complete reconsolidation of a Rerculon AEHI (Artificial Enhanced Hyper-Intelligence) core.

*The right side details the OT-4's weaponry, whether in reload, recharge, preheat, or overheat statuses, fusion-core conditions, damage (or lack thereof) for the armor and nearly every component, and a broad overlay to track the repulsor system’s operational statistics, conditions, and interferences.

 

*****

PILOT:

A full wraparound screen surrounds the pilot's crash chair, which displays a 360 degree view at all times of the 5KM (or 10,000 meters) surrounding the OT-4, granted by numerous overlapping sensors, arrays, and particle scanners embedded throughout the interior and hull.

External and internal atmospheric pressures or densities, weapon conditions and recharge rates, armor estimations, calculations, and damage, advanced electronic system functions, failures, and interferences, repulsorlift or track-based drive train functions, and virtually every aspect of the OT-4 is accessible by the pilot.

However, the sheer amount of data is impossible for a non-bionically/biologically enhanced individual to take in every second, and would easily cause a catastrophic information overload within minutes.

*While the pilot COULD take control of all OT-4 systems, it is HIGHLY recommended to leave all non-piloting functions for the gunner-operator and technician so that the pilot is able to solely concentrate on battlefield conditions and vehicular movement.

 

*All systems receive information directly from the Optronic scanning modules, or will default to standard realtime R-AEHI assisted views.

 

 

*****

GUNNER-OPERATOR:

*The gunner-operator sits inside an enclosed, 360-degree wraparound cockpit with access to 15th generation thermal, infrared, night vision, particle recognition, sonar, LIDAR, electromagnetic, and multiple hybrid systems, granting unfettered information access out to 5KM.

An Optronic scanning mode surveys the local battlefield at a 1/60th per second rate, and is best used in conjunction with the prior systems.

Two smaller overlays above left and right detail the IFF of assets: the left displays a realistic model view of a targeted asset or assets, including indicators of 'Friendly', 'Allied', 'Hostile', 'Enemy', or 'Unknown'.

The right screen is a 1/60th per second updating tactical simulated view of the local area that can scale out to 10,000M (5 kilometer), or directly onto the OT-4’s armor.

*The left joystick control operates both forward cannons, each with a 200 degree left to right operational window, though may only raise 90 degrees, and depress to -30 degrees. When targeting assets, a notation will display the target's range and probability of armor penetration.

*The right joystick controls target acquisition programming to the four IADLS (Independent Anti-Drone Laser Systems), able to confirm or deny prioritizing select targets for destruction, dismiss the same, acquire new targets based on Optronic scans, or switching to a defensive firing mode which selects and attempts to destroy incoming munitions, though will default to engaging flagged hostiles if no other targets are in range.

*Each system is able to fire at a danger-close maximum of 2 degrees and 1M from the IFV's hull

*The gunner may also use an at-will firing mode if the systems are unable to tag an enemy asset

*All systems receive information directly from the Optronic scanning modules, or will default to standard realtime R-AEHI assisted views.

 

GUNNER-OPERATOR CAPABILITIES:

*Modified ExoTech Warfare Array: grants 3x [1d6+10] <Electronic Warfare Platform rolls, in addition to the Operator's own Electronic Warfare skill, that may be used either for jamming electronic communications, countering the same, or clarifying data resulting from the Modified ExoTech Optronic Particle Scanner system.

Greatly assisted by the Rerculon AEHI Interface, the gunner-operator has full access to the advanced transmission/receiver unit along with the Warfare Array. Able to assign, designate, switch, change, mark, and unmark targets through electronic means when, or if, applicable, the gunner-operator positions carries a great deal of necessary respect.

The majority of Tallus-native biological, mechanical, magical, some hybrid, and a moderate number of Spectrum or Planar beings are capable of being analyzed through this system.

*Functions as a lossless radio transmitter/receiver unit with a range of 300 miles, though can only transmit out to 1,000 miles

 

*Modified ExoTech Optronic Particle Scanner: performs an area sweep from the hull out to a nominal range of 10,000M, utilizing 3x [1d6+8] rolls each turn, either for broad purpose and/or individual target scans, though the FIRST roll will always scan the OT-4’s local area within 100M.

Drastically improved from Late Interstellar Era specifications, this system is able to display relevant information of mechanical targets in radius, including limited Tallus-native Spectrum or Planar analyses.

*The gunner-operator may also select an individual target for precision analysis.

 

*****

TECHNICIAN:

*The technician sits inside an enclosed, 360 degree wraparound cockpit, which features a large amount of telemetry, self-diagnostic systems, and scanning modules, specifically dedicated to identifying damage, whether to weaponry, armor, hull, electronics, or other internals.

From their well protected position, the OT-4’s technician is able to enact mechanical and structural repairs throughout the structures, especially when an armor or hull breach occurs.

Best when assisted by the Rerculon AEHI, the technician can also default to performing specific repairs using majorly customized systems. The primary deploys a carbide-ceramic-metallic composite to seal armor breaches, the second a meta-polyaramid foam for internal or hull breaches, while the third incorporates a series of programmable nanofilament cables capable of restoring electronic connections or modules to each other, at least until proper repairs are made.

 

*All systems receive information directly from the Optronic scanning modules, or will default to standard realtime AEHI assisted views.

 

TECHNICIAN CAPABILITIES:

*Custom Armor Patching: grants a [1d6+30] roll, 10 available

*Modified Hull Patching: grants a [1d6+50 roll], 16 available

*Advanced Electronic Reconnection Patching: grants a [1d6+4] roll, 8 available

 

 

*****

RERCULON AEHI INTERFACE: an 8-limbed octopodal android shell comprised mostly of 8th generation dititanium, ‘installed’ into the cabin’s frontal monoplating. Designed solely to interface with and augment the OT-4 by performing the most tedious or boring tasks.

This variation features some improvements over the base model, including considerably improved armor, six 10’ long repair tendrils equipped with a variety of tools, and two 13’ long interface/scanning multitask tendrils. Unlike the original, this one runs off a direct connection to the OT-4, though has a microfusion-core to allow it some autonomous capability if need be.

Due to the Rerculon AEHI’s inbuilt limitations it has precisely zero personality, relying on brute force octodecimal logic solutions for problem solving and completing tasks.

 

*In the event that no pilot, gunner-operator, technician, or advisor is available, the AEHI will take full command of the OT-4. In such a case, the Rerculon AEHI will detach from its internal front compartment bulkhead, then attempt a best effort rescue to retrieve all verified sapients with minimal harm.

Whether the attempt(s) fail or succeed, the AEHI will then assume independent control of the OT-4 and rely on previous orders, whether to exfiltrate, infiltrate, evade, enter combat, counter, negate, destroy, or negotiate when applicable. Best used when all other options fail.

CREW COMPARTMENT: extended, customized, spacious, but most importantly comfortable.

At 8’ tall, 10’ wide, and 16' long, this meta-titanium rectangle is internally coated in numerous layers of heavyweight polyaramids, and features four rapid cycling air conditioning units, two in the roof, two in the floor.

Added due to Lonestar’s specifications are two mirrored holographic viewscreens in the center, allowing the driver and passenger sides to view what the pilot does.

Six pairs of bulky, one-person or pony crash chairs face inwards at equidistant intervals. Each is fitted with the most common human-styled electronic ports, allowing access to a limited number of external sensors and fast recharging.

A single NitrOx air mask is featured on the side headrest of each chair in case of emergency situations, and can be folded rearwards to act as a sufficient, though minimalist, medical bed.

 

Significant cargo space is supplied by a large storage locker underneath each crash chair, opening either via voice command (when programmed), but can be unlocked by either the pilot, gunner-operator, or technician upfront.

A floor-to-ceiling hardcast dititanium alloy locker next to each crash chair allows enough space for a double load of weaponry, including an extra set of armor, ammunition boxes, canisters, and other large items sufficient to have a secondary loadout.

Even the most loaded down human can easily place triple their standard equipment into each locker, yet still have enough room to fit six cases of MRE’s, 4x 5 gallon water jugs, and a full Crystal Empire travel & cooking suite with ease.

 

*Numerous hardpoints spaced throughout the interior are intended to allow Marine Diver Exosuits to anchor themselves inside, preventing rollover issues and other consequences. ("Or similar enough systems based on what I’ve seen. Dunno about charging and connection cables if they have batteries or capacitors though." -Lonestar)

 

A pair of heavily armored floor-to-ceiling drop hatches in the rear allow for rapid deployment and recovery, but can also allow small vehicles, exoskeletons, exoframes, and similar to board or exit with great ease.

 

No longer merely an APC protected by basic point defense capabilities and minimal forward weaponry, the newly refurbished OT-4 has had its weapons greatly improved, armor and internals massively upgraded, and now features an exceptionally well tuned repulsorlift system.

(“I don’t know how it works, why it works, or what it is. All I know is when you hear that nice little hum... this thing floats real fast.” -Lonestar)

It still retains an expanded, extreme torque derived tank tread system as a backup, however.

Amethyst Dalli-StormRose:

 

*****

Little could be further from the truth, however. Made entirely from Kerbann inner bark with select, tasteful leaves acting as flowing armor.

-Armor Value: 1DR

-Resonant Slots: 1/1

 

Styled in an archaic, definitely non-native beetle pattern, it features two slim external pockets, six small internal pockets, and a single-weave flowing hood, which can be put up or tied however she wants.

-Armor Value: 1DR

-Resonant Slots: 0/1

-Defensive Resonance #1: adds +1 to all Fade rolls

 

*****

Left by Cerberus ("I have NO idea where he found it. Barring that, how did it even get here?!" -The Baronness) at the Dalli home's doorstep at some point, this weapon is covered in hundreds of dull red and black bite marks, utterly marring the surface, leaving the edges looking much like an odd collection of random teeth.

The hilt and guards have been marginally repaired with effluvient color-shifting metals sourced from the lower rings of Tartarus, and on the whole it seems difficult to destroy.

*This weapon is one of the ancient, near-mythical Alicorn blades of Tallus.. though which one it actually is will take a great deal of research, and far greater restoration efforts, to discover.

-Base Modifier: adds +2 to all Assault/Parry/Riposte rolls

-Heavy Weight Penalty: Amy suffers a -1 to all Evasion/Reaction Speed/Sprint rolls due to the weapon weighing 11 pounds

 

Both are cutely fashioned to look like a young Juggernaut puppy's (naturally) smiling face.

Juggernauts are a peculiar species of Otherworldly hound which live on the uppermost rings of Tartarus, descended from a timeline which both Emperor and God-King Cerberus dislike speaking of.

Adult Juggernauts are often sent to sniff out unwanted intruders or potential problem causers near the Gates of Tartarus, preventing trespassers against all possible odds. However, young Kerberi are considered highly adorable to most in Tartarus, thus demarending special attention and training methods to prevent from becoming intolerably lazy.

None of this matters, of course, because these hoofboots are quite cute, quickly attracting the attention of fillies, mares, and all other females alike.

-Base Modifier: adds +1 to all Kick and Stomp rolls

-Armor Value: 3DR from the knees down

-Armor Class: Light

*Juggernaut’s Blessing: when worn, these Hoofboots grant COMPLETE immunity to Knockdown, Nausea, or Vertigo, including those caused by Air, Earth, and Force Elemarentals

 

Taken from one of the few massive, oldest Kerbann trees clustered around the upper rings of Tartarus, purportedly as old as the Mage-Baroness Avernus herself. ("To be blunt, I think a few were here before I took over. Some of the eldest batpony Shades know more, but finding them is... not possible anymore. ...I think. They have not been seen in hundreds of years now. Which, upon Tallus, would be easily within the tens of thousands." -The Baronness)

Kerbann draw the myriad elemental energies of Tartarus into their massive canopies, producing a wide array of oval-triangular shaped leaves which emit vast, dazzling patterns and color spectrums as a side effect of their purely energetic ‘digestion’ processes.

Occasionally, branches may break due to the heavy weight from multitudes of leaves, or snap off from under the feet (or the rare hooves) of a being climbing them. This is one of those tiny few.

Due to the Kerbann's flat out unrecognizable energy-absorption mechanisms, branches such as these readily function for Amy as a Force Stick, similar to her sires Force Staff, thus moderately amplifying her control of sorcery and functioning as a slight reservoir of energies for her to call upon.

Also makes a good tool for poking at things which may or may not be bitey.

-Base Modifier: adds +2 to all Assault/Parry/Riposte rolls

-Advanced Modifier: adds +1 to all Sorcery rolls

-NATIVE TARTARUS ENHANCEMARENT: adds +1 to ALL Research rolls when carried

 

*****

UNIQUE ITEMS:

Made from a stabilized, hollow-forged Tartarus native crystalline, they’re practically indestructible.

-Adds +1 to all Crystal Engineering rolls

 

 

Kerbann wood shards, splinters, leaves, twigs, sticks from tiny, small, medium, and large, sap, and broken off knots, along with more than a few seeds.

The multitudes of various metallic, pseudo-metallic, meta-metallic, half-metallic, crystalline, pseudo-crystalline, meta-crystalline, half-crystalline rocks, crystalo-metalloids, metallo-crystalloids, odd materials, whether fully corporeal, semi-corporeal, demi-corporeal, arch-corporeal… or not, and varying debris that Amy cannot yet classify. Or may not even try to.

All of it has significant value due to being considered extremely rare, nearly impossible to find, or inaccessible on Tallus of course, but she considers her collection to be more prized than any currency imaginable.

*Particularly the "gifts".

*[“ESPECIALLY THE *GIFTS*!” -Dalli Senior]

 

The two long antennae can carry long items, two side ‘wings’ are able to carry a pair of water bottles, canisters, or a single canteen, and numerous underwing pouches CAN hold small miscellaneous objects, clips, magazines, power cells, or cores. Two well fit shoulder straps clasp onto a pair of wide waist straps, the waist bands themselves able to carry smaller clips, magazines, or shells, both sufficiently padded to ensure maximum comfort during long treks or expeditions.

Comprised from the wonderfully soft, ultrafine, and glossy inner woven bark of fallen Kerbann branches, it it will always change color to match Amy’s surroundings, and is excellent as a pillow.

Has a large amount of capacity due to Dalli Senior’s custom specifications (100L squared, although she wouldn’t be able to move while carrying the maximum amount).

Due to the innate nature of the Archaic Moorian mango trees, being both Tartarus-adapted native and Tallus-derived, Amy knows the pack’s location at all times, while Prima Lucis must take 1 minute to orient herself in the correct direction.

 

 

While most items in Tartarus have numerous uses, Kerbann leaves themselves are an exceptionally comfortable, virtually indestructible replacemarent for most every form of cloth, and thus rarely used for anything else other than clothing.

-Armor Value: provides 3DR to the chest

-Armor Class: Light

 

Except for the gloves and soles on the boots, the exterior is covered in small half-triangular, half-oval scales that are an equal mixture of light gray and dark blue, providing excellent neutral colorations that aren't out of place in the Underdark or Void.

The bizarre color-shifting threads used to stitch each hide together constantly roil in dark blue and red colorations, yet are durable enough to resist a diamond-honed edge.

All in all, this is one of the best armor sets created by a certain filly of the Sea's Bounty sub-clan.

("He didn't even ask her name... what the hay Bubba!?" -Naliyna)

-Armor Value: provides 4DR to the entire body below the jaw, and 3DR to the hands

-Natural Enhancemarent #1: the wearer's sounds are decreased by 50% at all times

*****

A 9" long ironwood hilt is wrapped with antique frost drake hide to provide an excellent grip, and two short runic steel guards grant the wielder fairly good defense for their hand.

One of two formerly owned by Lord Sevrit of Anfang before his timely execution, it's unknown as to which gryphon smith created these several centuries ago, but it's fairly likely that their descendant really doesn't want to admit as much.

The land mass known as Coville was once a large continent far south of Neighsia and far west of Sydneigh, inhabited solely by earth ponies roughly 3,200 years prior to the current era before disappearing from records.

Only a few hooffulls of ponies in Equestria understand some of the peculiar language due to the depressingly low numbers of such slabs in existence, which makes relics such as these highly valuable in the eyes of researchers.

 

The Ferron term of ‘Dorval’ does not denote a specific species. Rather, it encompasses a wide variety of inedible, poisonous, and toxic ocean creatures, primarily invasive, trouble causing, or both.

Fethwhales however are an archaic, near-sighted and semi-omnivorous species, little evolved throughout the centuries. Relying almost entirely on subsonar and echolocation to find prey, they are often seen by Ferron and batponies near Cairn Wharf, Treesalt Flats, and others. Though the skeletal remains sometimes wash onto shores throughout Coastal Ferron claimed regions, they’re virtually unknown elsewhere.

Eyeplates are extremely fragile and rare find intact, and almost never used due to few pegasi having anything less than excellent vision.

Likely found by Sea’s Bounty beach combers.

*When enchanted to an individual, adds +1 to all Ranged weapon rolls

*TWICE per Operation, grants a [1d6+4] <Streamsight capability, allowing one to tunnel-sight their vision and pick out fine details in a small radius

 

One of numerous materials lost throughout Tallus history, Frostame is a crystalline semi-biometal that is roughly as dense as bronze, more ductile than zero-gravity hi-alloy steels, and nearly as difficult to damage as sapphirine, though it fractures like quartz when subjected to specific acute angled blunt force in its raw state.

Thousands of years before the Dynasty formed, the Crystal Kingdom sent thousands of advisors, researchers, and experimarentors to study the strange materials found throughout Equestria as a whole.

Large amounts of Frostame were recovered from what is now the Lower Crystal Empire Plains, and was used in the same mareners as modern coldstones, though Frostame itself is considered a primal Elemarent distantly related to Rime deposits and thus never needs to be reharmonized.

*This particular specimaren was found inside a small amber chunk after being recovered by Sea's Bounty denizens of Cairn Wharf

At a current value of 1,000 Bits, proper treatmarent and polishing would easily double the market value, though the extreme rarity of a raw piece makes it considerably more valuable than first appearances would suggest.

 

-Adds +1 to all non-combat Stealth rolls

 

An unusually sturdy stinger approximately 2" long and serrated snapping mandibles indicate this to be most likely from a 'soldier' caste, or perhaps a specialized species as a whole.

This particular one is definitely extinct so far as Equestrian researchers know due to a number of preserved examples, and hasn't been noted elsewhere on Tallus.

 

From direct observation, it may have links to the Mechano-Planar Rift, home of the Constructs.

Island's Grace coconuts are a rarity amongst the Ferron and jealously guarded, particularly due to being found drifting in the hazardous sea washes from the Crag Moors all the way to the Mareixican coastline.

When a living being pinches the three "eyes", in reality seed-pores, this tiny coconut's top can be cleanly torn off to expose a thick, delicious smelling and tasting milk, though curiously without any flesh inside.

Upon drinking the substance, living beings experience a rapid, long lasting healing effect that rivals the best of modern regeneration elixirs.

*The consumer MUST roll [1d6+1] <Island's Grace Restoration each turn until a maximum of 10 turns have passed

*IF the consumer has not regenerated at least 40HP, on the 11th turn the consumer will automagically, and PAINFILLY, regenerate an additional 20HP or 25% of their HP, whichever is less

 

-Nautilus Pearl: while not round, at all, this squiggly rainbow colored 'leaf' is actually the pearl formed from a Nautilus, and when infused to armor grants some of the previous owner's protective qualities.

*COMPLETELY UTILIZED to construct Blackhorn!

 

*****

RELICTED CONSTRUCT WEAPON:

Visually, Blackhorn is an imposing, heavily overbuilt, squat, and technically perfect ‘shotgun’. Features green body paint with black trim, the ergonomics balancing brutal military design and comfortable civil shooting standards.

A ridiculously thick, partial sound suppressing barrel with an adjustable venting dial ahead of the chamber which prevents overheating seems to have been explicitly designed for extended engagements. Currently features a standard picatinny rail, occupied by a set of basic iron sights front and rear.

Similar to those found on other Construct weapons, a curiously named rectangular optic with target analysis and identification systems is mounted off right at a 45 degree angle, allowing either the irons or optic to be used without scope creep.

While it IS chambered for 12 gauge shells, and can still accept them, the Planar Construct biotechnology used to approximate human specific shells has taken an entirely different route: a fully automated regenerative matrix produces a select number of shells each turn, randomly, via unknown means.

A frictionless drum magazine complete with a proto-steel interlinked shell clip system allows Blackhorn to (theoretically) feed infinitely, while an integral Construct anti-gravity system negates over 90% of the weight and recoil. In theory, Blackhorn could be fired with one hand, but doing so requires both exceptional motor skills and excellent balance.

Due to the previous limitations, Clemency must tell or manually operate Blackhorn to accept which type of shell he desires each turn, indicated by one of three icons in the optic's rear plate: three finned flechettes, a solid rod, or a finned dart.

No further data is known at the current time.

*Takes double damage from Lightning Elements which will also shut it down for 1 turn while the system reboots, and can be temporarily knocked out of commission by EMP weapons

*Though attuned to Clemency, Blackhorn will, with his permission, allow other Operators to take it into the field, though must be returned IMMEDIATELY after an Operation is completed

Partially completed by the end of hostilities, after its abandonment the original S.O.L.G. was seized by the organization known as the ‘Grey Men’. It was then repurposed for use to coincide with the Belkan Federation's attempted continental takeover of Osea.

Unlike Stonehenge, which was intended to protect against the remnants of asteroid Ulysses 1994XF04, the original S.O.L.G. was purely designed to attack ground targets, particularly cities and heavily fortified military installations which would otherwise require penetrating nuclear weaponry. It's predecessor, the M-S.O.L.G., is equipped for the same purposes, except being far smaller in comparison.

Again unlike the original, this variant is armed with an array of three consecutive mass driver cannons, six racks of anti-spacecraft missiles, and a small TLS (Tactical Laser System) capable of wiping out a single squadron of aircraft, which needs time to recharge between uses.

This version does retain exceptional electronics, communications, and signal intelligence packages, a semi-autonomous matrix that will defend itself if attacked, multiple electromagnetic and radar scanning capabilities, and a 40MM ground-sight aperture lens for sighting ground or aerial targets.

For its size, the M.-S.O.L.G. is capable of deploying an impressive amount of firepower.

*STATUS: extent of damage unknown.

 

-Small Mass Driver: an electromagnetic mass driver that delivers a 5-pound tungsten rod at approximately 2,400MPH, capable of outright annihilating a superheavy tank or even the hardiest of super-bombers.

*Ammunition remaining: 20/20

*Utilizes a [1d6+40] roll, up to twice per Operation.

 

-Medium Mass Driver: an EM mass driver that delivers a 10-pound tungsten rod at approximately 2,200MPH, capable of flattening an underground bunker or destroying the majority of a large mansion.

*Ammunition remaining: 8/10

*Utilizes a [1d6+60] roll, and can be deployed once per Operation

 

-Large Mass Driver: an EM mass driver that delivers a 20-pound tungsten rod at approximately 2,000MPH, capable of flattening a colossal marension or collapsing all but the largest naval ships.

*Ammunition remaining: 4/5

*Utilizes a [1d6+100] roll, and can be deployed once every other Operation.

 

-Space-borne Missile Racks: two fire-and-forget micro-QAAM missile racks, and two guided heavy micro-SAAM missile racks remaining in reserve, located on Sunside and Moonside rack arrays.

These missiles have no targeting solutions and are only used to defend the M-S.O.L.G. against close to medium ranged space-borne threats.

*Remaining missiles: 2x Guided Heavy Micro-SAAM racks

 

-Tactical Laser System: a large component of the M-S.O.L.G.'s weapons array, this TLS is virtually the same used by the highly experimarental prototype FALKEN, one of the few superiority aerofighters still capable of being built on Strangereal.

Featuring a second-of-angle firing solution guided by either the 40MM aperture lens or a pilot helmet's built in targeting software.

The M-S.O.L.G.'s thorium reactor, along with its highly efficient solar collecting sails, are required to unleash this fearsome weapon. The smaller size means it cannot effectively target and destroy the same number of targets that the original was capable of, however.

*When deploying the TLS, from one to five targets may be isolated and registered as hostile, whereupon the M-S.O.L.G. will delegate 5x [1d6+20] <Orbital Tactical Laser strikes upon it's targets, though this can only be used ONCE every other Operation

While dual-bladed weaponry such as this example are typically difficult to perform effective attacks with, Krinza introduced a number of engineering principles to control the sweep and arc by thinning and lightening the blades slightly, allowing a perfect center of balance in the exact center of the haft.

Later splitting the haft near-center, then removing 1 hoof length due to an error, Krinza carved a deep V-notch into each new hilt and imbued a Grifter Claw, allowing Dante to disconnect the twinblade and use each as a long handled blade, despite their awkward length.

-Base Modifier: adds +1 to all Assault/Parry/Riposte rolls

 

*****

-Modified Stalker Exoskeleton (Crystal-Forged, Custom-Fit, Experimental Tallus Crystal-Tech, Tallus-made, Personal, Unique Reproduction): recovered from what was obviously a bad situation, in an even worse state, Ivan’s summoned Duty Exoskeleton WAS restored to basic functionality by the combined efforts of Naliyna, Helping Hoof, Lann, Krinza, and Aiutante. Before recycling almost everything except for the few pieces of a Flash artifact, of course. ("We had to build it and take it apart, otherwise Krinza wouldn't be satisfied." -Naliyna)

Fully gutting the wires, electronics, servos, and virtually everything else, including the bodysuit, the five set about copying the design using Tallus-only native materials and meta-materials, which subsequently ignores the Era Lock entirely.

Krinza chose to ignore the original's basic protection, instead utilizing woven hi-alloy Gozkan steel meshing underneath overlapping, partially flexible steel plates, enhancing mobility without burdening the frame. This removes the notorious habit of Zone exoskeletons having numerous bullet traps, and grants it a marginal level of flexibility.

Helping Hoof's technical knowledge on scribing multiple runic, arcane, and Elemarental sigils, mostly gained from Spiral’s tutelage, across complex interconnected mechanisms allowed him to further reinforce the armor’s base characteristics. Not only do these partially protect against magic, no weight is added.

Lann's expertise in human styled clothing allowed her to replace the internal jumpsuit entirely using a (relatively safe) Planar bright green leather-like substance retrieved from the Moors, and was able to integrate Naliyna's unusual requests to interweave hundreds of flexible gel-like Empire crystalline fibers throughout it.

Using a great deal of her (definitely banned, though not actually illegal to utilize) knowledge from Hodch's teachings, Aiutante went the route of imbuing the connected metallic, pseudo-metallic, and crystalline components with greater flexibility, despite the fact that hi-alloy Gozkan steel and Empire crystalline materials normally resist such.

Further modifying the external armor and internal components with (highly banned, yet not TECHNICALLY illegal) micro-enchantmarents to give all components a high degree of latent magical malleability, also making the entire exoskeleton simpler to improve upon in the future, Aiutante finished off her work by inscribing a a confoundingly difficult to translate anti-shock enchantmarent. As a result, only the heaviest weapons would produce recoil adverse enough to effect Ivan's accuracy.

Stumped for a while on how to make the armor 'move' when Ivan needs to, Naliyna's quiet studies on adapting human technologies to Crystal technologies gave her an idea:

Devising a bio-crystalline locomotive feedback system, essentially a personalized, miniature crystal hololith (without an InterPony) that imprints Ivan's movements, then translates said motions into degrees, fractions, and haptic feedback to translate force of motions. Building off Lann’s work, Naliyna wove the thousands of Empire crystal strands together and flex-programmed the entire jumpsuit to, as a whole, act as an outer layer of musculature.

Despite the process being a bit flawed, this allows Ivan to utilize the exoskeleton as if it were an external, albeit heavy, layer of skin; as such he is able to ‘feel’ pressure and temperature as per normal. In short, the crystalworks system translates enough data through the crystalline bio-mesh that Ivan is able to physically feel objects at an almost-normal state while being fully protected.

Satisfied that she was able to modify the system with little more than a hum, Naliyna went on to integrate a complex series of interlinked heatstones and coldstones throughout the frame's interior, giving it a highly advanced air-conditioning system in the process.

Lastly, the five debated what color to paint it, and settled for giving it a coat of 'everything' using a mixture of most every metal in the Workshop using a flawless diamond as a base.

-Armor Value: provides 5DR to the entire body

-Armor Class: Heavy Exosuit, Extreme Modifications

-Enchantmarent Slots: 0/2 remaining

-Resonant Slots: 0/2 remaining

-Bio-Crystalline Enhancement #1: the Undercharged Crystalline Mesh-Fiber Weave greatly increase Ivan's own physical strength, adding +2 to all Assault/Parry/Riposte rolls; furthermore it is incredibly difficult to disarm weapons, shields, and tools

-Bio-Crystalline Enhancemarent #2: Temperature Regulation System allows Ivan to control the exterior heat and cold levels with little more than telling it what he desires, internally he may modify the humidity and temperature with nothing more than a direct order

*Magical Enhancemarent #1: 4 Kanpri-Diamondine Artifact Containers (+1 in the Workshop currently containing pieces of a Flash artifact)

-Mechanical Enhancement #1: Moderately Tuned Tallus-made Servos allow Ivan to walk and jog at normal speeds; as such Ivan cannot roll higher than [1d6+1] when attempting to move although he is able to utilize Block/Evasion/Reaction Speed normally

-Mechanical Enhancemarent #2: Phase-Shifting Paint adds +1 to all non-combat Stealth rolls

-Mechanical Enhancement #3: Solidified Bio-Crystalline Fibers allow Ivan to utilize Heavy Weapons WITHOUT penalties, except for weapons that are either too heavy or unwieldy (or both) to use

-Mechanical Enhancement #4: this Exoskeleton may be dropped (or thrown) up to 50M and land without suffering any damage, regardless of angle

-Utility Enchantmarent #1: Basic Anomalous Protection Suite grants a [1d6+5] <Elemental Resistance roll that protects against all forms of exclusively non-penetrating magic, including Druidry, Elemarental effects, Mystical, and Sorcery

*Ignores 1/2 of ALL Radiation and similar effects, can be modified further

 

-Modified Stalker Exohelmet (Crystal-Forged, Custom-Fit, Experimental Tech, Personal, Tallus-made): copied and built from scratch due to the original's damage, this Stalker Exohelmet’s functionality has been greatly expanded through the combined efforts of Naliyna, Helping Hoof, Lann, Auitante, and Krinza.

Helping Hoof, with some assistance from Krinza, redesigned the entire blueprint, expanding the interior several times to accommodate a complete Temperature Regulation System for Naliyna, additional space for Lann's custom work, and one of the last remaining enhanced radio suites developed by Spiral.

Improving upon the original's heavy weight by adding more, Helping Hoof cast five pieces together from a newly acquired block of Gozkan hi-alloy steel. Fit, then melded together by Krinza, the pair inscribed an extensive set of runes and sigils that would protect it from shattering, even against a minotaur’s weaponry.

Aiutante's contributions were twofold: first runing over the melded seams using micro-sigils which allow the helmet to absorb and delocalize damage while reducing all but the most extreme of concussions to virtually nothing (INCREDIBLY banned though not illegal).

The second of Auitante’s inclusions came in the form of a heavy sound dampening sigil (possibly not banned, but miserably time consuming) that wouldn't interfere with the electronic systems, and can dampen exterior sounds down to approximately 5%.

Passed over to Lann, she layered a large amount of purified Tallus-native rubber across most the interior as an anti-spalling feature, then covered by ten layers of comfortable, sweat-wicking cotton and silk blends.

Seeing the chance to put his Grandmaster Smith skills to the test, Krinza was able to incorporate two large visor lenses, comprised of a multi-layered diamondine and rubynine meta-composite. This allows the lenses to dim, refract, and enhance light at Ivan's command, providing a (mostly) magical thermal or night vision system.

-Armor Value: provides 4DR to the entire head

-Enchantmarent Slots: 0/2 remaining

-Bio-Crystalline Enhancemarent #1: Temperature Regulation System allows Ivan to control the interior's heat, cold, and humidity levels with little more than telling it what he desires

-Electronic Enhancement #1: a fully integrated Enhanced Squad-Command Radio System, one of the few remaining from before Spiral's disappearance, allows Ivan to communicate and sync with nearby Operators up to a range of 10 miles, also functioning as a transmitter up to 25 miles

-Magical Enhancemarent #1: cannot be Blinded or Deafened without extreme measures

-Magical Enhancemarent #2: grants a [1d6+3] <Night Vision OR <Thermal roll

-Mechanical Enhancemarent #1: negates the duration & effects of Concussions unless caused by excessively powerful blows or force

-Mechanical Enhancemarent #2: a brand new, Tallus-made micro-flashlight created by Helping Hoof and Krinza, grants a [1d6+4] <M.Flashlight roll

-Mechanical Enhancemarent #3: an integral closed-circuit micro/macro air filtration system, based on Helping Hoof's understanding of Spiral's late technical knowledge, grants an absurd degree of protection from airborne particulates. Nearly all toxins, chemicals, elements, and even magic based pseudo-particles, including those analogous or vaguely similar to radiation, have an extremely difficult time penetrating the helmet's severely overbuilt rear-facing design

Capable of firing continuously for up to 5 minutes on end before barrel overheating becomes an issue due to Anon replacing the original barrel with a rapid heat exchanging Lumen-kanpri-tungsten composite alloy.

["Hopefully Princess Luna won't be too angry at me. Why might she be furious? Using her preferred metal for anything other than armor is.. honestly? A severe waste. I needed it at the time and she still owes me two games of strip poker. Nah, not that kind. You know how Sea's Bounty mares fear taking off their socks? We were going to hit their Beach Fort, play cards with a bunch and see just how many socks we could win off them. What a- I'd give them back after the rounds are done, the fuck you think I'd be doing!?" -Anonymous, Third Human Gestalt]

The helicopter electrical plugin system was replaced by a single unprotected medium-sized power crystal, tuned for precise voltage and amperage by Spiral, which was later shunted into an armored kanpri compartment and tuned once more via Anon's newish expertise in electrical systems.

Originally requested by one of Razorback's First 100, Anonymous has spent considerable time salvaging electronics throughout the Third Era, and recently begun developing new variants of laser targeting systems. Primarily focused on extending functional range and improving durability, also looking into methods to reduce shock from heavy rifles and the like, most of his efforts have been rewarded with high quality sidegrade variants such as this one.

'Attached' between the barrels is a semi-Float core improved laser targeting system, with greatly extended range and a pseudo-gel anti-shock compound to keep it stable during firing.

One of the more common artifacts found through the Zone, Slugs are noteworthy due to the fact that they only form in a Fruit Punch anomaly.

These pools of post-radioactive acids have exceptionally corrosive properties and can injure Stalkers within a 3M radius, which lead scientists to question how the restorative capability even functions.

*When worn Ivan may not suffer from Bleeding

*Grants a [1d6+4] <Recovery roll that heals and stops up to Moderate Bleeding, also giving +2HP per turn for [1d6] turns

*Increases the damage Ivan takes from Fire, Poison/Acid, and chemicals by 1/4; causes +1 Radiation per turn

-Price: 2,500 rubles (2,500 Rushyan Snootles)

 

Another highly common Zone artifact, the Sparkler is well known for increasing the wearer's physical endurance and stamina regeneration, making them highly appreciated on long treks so long as a source of anti-radiation is available.

Formed exclusively in the highly volatile and extremely widespread Electro anomaly, one with a 10M electrical hazard radius that is progressively more lethal towards the center, Sparklers are more curious to the Ecologist faction than Flash artifacts due to their unusual creation and the bizarre, wholly unknown elemental makeup.

While distinctly related to the Flash artifact, Sparklers are incapable of electrocuting the bearer: instead, a Sparkler is able to actively ‘smooth’ out fluctuations in electric field densities. One proposed use (which was rarely been deployed or in use throughout the Zone during Clear Sky’s time) was as a power converter for electrical devices, particularly sensitive electronics, but WAS definitely used in solderers, welders, and other necessary equipment.

Lastly, and perhaps the most bizarre fact, the Sparkler is only visible from Midnight to 5AM in the Zone. If dropped or lost, a Sparkler becomes completely invisible, and cannot even be located using a Detector.

*Adds +1 to all Block/Evasion/Reaction Speed/Sprint rolls to either himself or ONE ally each turn, but Ivan must be able to touch said ally

*Grants a [1d6+4] <Psionic-Block defensive ability, effective only against Psionic damage and abilities

*Causes Fatigue to occur 30% slower

*Increases Lightning Damage by 1/4 and causes +1 Radiation each turn

-Price: 2,500 rubles (2,500 Rushyan Snootles)

-Utility Enchantmarent #1: adds +2 to all Iron Will & Leadership rolls

-Utility Enchantmarent #2: adds +2 to a SINGLE standard skill during an Operation

 

Composed of high-modulus polyethylene interspersed with thin titanium-carbide plating, allowing it to resist great amounts of impact and reducing overall weight compared to the more traditional, thickly layered kevlar helmets.

Comes with a front mount for NVG systems and ARC side rails; the right rail is occupied by a low-profile LED flashlight, and the left by Jeff's live-feed camera.

*****

The blade, hoofle/handle, and short blocky guards are all made from excellent stock diamondine layered atop kanpri, giving it a steadily shifting blue-red-purple, though tinges of white across the blade's edge can be viewed at uncommon intervals.

Like most specialized weapons from that era, this one contains a vaguely sentient batpony assassin thoughtform which functions as an 'assistant' of sorts. Though it has no sapience and is unable to do more than guide the user to where it ‘thinks’ the weakest armor locations, or most vulnerable biological spots are, a small amount of caution is still advised.

Unlike most diamondine weapons this one is relatively light, so to speak, only weighing a full pound.

*Acquired by Jeff from a Lunarite Collective crypt north of Basin Village in the Moors.

-Melee Weapon Class: Light, Modified

-Base Modifier: adds +6 to all Assault/Parry/Riposte rolls

-Enchantmarent Slots Remaining: unknown

-Offensive Enchantmarent #2: grants a [1d6+6] <Nightfang non-Elemarental attack that ignores DR and inflicts Bleeding against living targets; also causing double damage to Fragile AND Armored/Heavily Armored targets

-Offensive Enchantmarent #1: grants a [1d6+6] <Sacred Thirst non-Elemarental attack that drains either the life force of living targets, known as Anima, OR the non-life force of deceased targets, known as Animus, restoring the user's HP or S.HP by the result-2. This ability does not function against most Eldritch beings, or specific Planar beings that are neither alive, dead, or a combination of the two; furthermore it cannot be resisted, nor the harm reduced.

*SHOULD a single target contain both Anima & Animus energies, the damage is instead TRIPLED and the target will then suffer a -4 penalty to all rolls for the next 6 turns

-Offensive Enchantmarent #3: grants a [1d6+6] <Void-Flux Bite strike that ignores DR, furthermore causing any wounds inflicted by this weapon to be difficult to heal from

-Utility Enchantmarent #1: when used by a living being, this weapon grants a [1d6+6] <Assassin's Senses ability which subtly guides the user's strikes towards the weak points of a specific target, indicated by the weapon itself 'pulling' towards the most viable one to exploit; this ability may only be used a maximum of two times per unique target

-Sword and Board: can be used in tandem with Small Arms or other 1-handed weapons, but may not use with 2-Handed weapons

 

-Melee Weapon Class: Light

-Base Modifier: adds +1 to all Assault/Parry/Riposte rolls

-Offensive Enchantmarent: grants a [1d6] <Shadow Elemarental attack

 

Several sets of segmarented plates extend from the knuckles up to the elbow, with a series of batpony runes scrawled across each arm: Honorable, Leader, Chivalrous, Pathfinder, Negotiator, Wingplayer, and Mango Carrier, the last one coming from a shared pegasi-batpony story involving Veterans carrying around young fliers, teaching them to fly properly.

Each knuckle features a metacrystallized black platinum oval, emblazoned and inscribed with powerful alternating unicorn runes and gryphon sub-glyphs that signify the Elemarent of Lightning.

Ten short claws are embedded atop the finger guards, and can be locked into place for constant use, allowing Jeff a slight piercing capability with them.

*Grandmaster reforged by Krinza, Perfected by Luna

*Touched by the Empress

-Melee Weapon Class: One-Handed

-Offensive Enchantmarent #1: grants a [1d6+2] <Lightning Elemarental attack

-Offensive Enchantmarent #2: THREE times per Operation, Jeff may utilize a <Dispersion effect, causing 50% of the total damage inflicted to jump to the closest enemy target as an arcane beam of non-elemarental energies; if an opponent Blocks the weapon this crystal is enchanted to, that damage will automatically strike them instead. Unless fully Evaded, this effect MUST always occur

-Offensive Enchantmarent #3: TWICE per Operation, Jeff may use the Impact Seal imbued within both to Stun any targets in close range using all Assault rolls as normal, or use against heavily armored opponents or fortifications to deal double damage

-Mechanical Modification #1: Armored Gauntlet Block; has 3DR and grants an additional <Block roll when defending in close combat

-Mechanical Modification #2: Claws: when extended and used in combat, these armored claws have Armor Pierce 1 (negates 1DR) and automatically cause Bleeding

-Utility Modification #3: Sticky: any items held cannot be disarmed

 

The entire lower section of the claw, an otherwise brittle and rather useless material, has been removed and replaced with a 14" long handle of softened, enchanted ironwood further reinforced via woven steel wire, the human styled improvemarents adding greater durability and reducing shock on impact.

The handle was then rewrapped entirely using four carefully molded regal drake scales as they provide exceptional gripping qualities, which were then overtaken by purple and black Void tendrils, giving the weapon a distorted, constantly moving appearance.

Krinza was careful enough not to disturb the weapon's transfusion by Princess Luna, though like all weapons created using Void materials, this one is best kept in the hands of of those that are not easily affected by strange phenomarena.

*Grandmaster transfused by Princess Luna

Comes with three 7-round magazines, a reinforced bipod, a high quality thermal scope with the ability to switch the thermal function off, and a Spiral-made, internally baffled one piece suppressor to replace the original muzzle brake that came with it.

After some experimentation with human technology, Krinza improved the thermal scope's clarification and magnification by etching a number of archaic unicorn rune-scripts across each lens, afterwards sealing the markings with extremely thin layers of clear diamondine.

Overall, the TMP is a simple, short barreled blowback-operated submachine gun using high impact resistant polymer for a minimum life expectancy of 30 years.

Designed for excellent concealmarent and portability, it is quite easy to maintain even by a novice operator. Unlike most SMG's, the TMP comes with an integral forward grip with a select-fire switch, allowing it to be used in either semi-automatic or automatic modes depending on user preference.

Although most 1st Generation TMP's were not issued a stock, later versions and variants did, greatly increasing accuracy at ranges beyond 50M.

Not as widespread as the H&K MP5 and later models, the Steyr TMP is nonetheless highly effective in close quarters, and even more so when used by skilled hands.

*CONDITIONS: as a First Hoof diplomat, Cheto is granted the following diplomatic laws, rights, and privileges:

-the lawful treatmarent expected of an Equestrian diplomat across Tallus, excluding Stalliongrad, Rushya, and their aligned territories. For obvious reasons this does not apply to batpony controlled regions and those Ferron clans that do not accept diplomats from any factions.

LONT:

 

This specific one was fit to Lont during a redesign. On request, Krinza added tightly overlapping tungsten-steel composite leaf scales to provide a good balance of protection with little need to reduce weight. At that time however, he could not improve the suit’s difficult resonance-maintaining capabilities, leaving it in the Heavy classification.

On a later request from Lont, Krinza would experimarent with exclusively shaped micro-manabomb charges to produce an effect similar to a unique armor worn by Bellepheron, a renowned Empire singer, crystal-forger, and engineer. Adding three sheets of the fully sealed manabomb material to the stomach, chest, and a half-sheet on each upper arm, it allowed for a surprisingly effective offensive capacity against unwary targets.

Much later, Krinza removed the micro-manabomb charges, then replaced the outer composite scales with exacting segmarents, painstakingly cutting replacemarents, one by one, from a Hyfalgyph scale to match the originals.

During the slow process of adapting, translating, redirecting, and stabilizing the Eldritch-Otherworld Hyfalgryph’s still vital essences, Krinza removed most of Spiral’s modifications to better fit Lont. This allows for maximum movement potential and future modifications.

Further reinforcing the interior kevlar layers by the additions of numerous thin, inflexible, flexible, interlocking, and overlapping smaller internal plates, the current design matches the original’s Heavy classification with less than 30% the original’s weight.

As an aftereffect, it seems to sing in tune whenever Lont performs an action or speaks in a marener that ponies find agreeable.

*Enhanced by Princess Cadence with a fragmarent from an original Imperial Shield emblem

-Armor Value: provides 4DR to the entire body

-Armor Class: Modified Custom Light

-Enchantmarent Slots Remaining: 0/3

-Mechanical Enhancemarent #1: adds +1 to all non-combat Stealth rolls

-Defensive Enchantmarent #1: reduces ALL damage from primarily or purely esoteric Casting, Druidic, Elemarental, Planar, Psionic, Otherworldly, Spectral, and Undead by 1/4, EXCLUDING Eldritch, Mysticism, and Necromancy/Necromarecy

-Defensive Enchantmarent #2: grants 2x [1d6+6] <Crystalline Shield rolls that do NOT prevent harm from penetrating Elemarents, notably Lightning or Void Otherworldly, Spectral, or certain Planar weapons and capabilities

-Reactive Enchantmarent #1: Revenge Seal. ONCE every third turn, Lont may activate his armor's Revenge Seal against a single attacker, reflecting ALL physical damage caused by melee or ranged weapons to the attacker as a thin, lightless beam of crushing force that bypasses DR; this causes double damage to Fragile targets, ignores Shields, and CANNOT be avoided regardless of range

*Should the opponent try to evade, fly, run, or Teleport, this effect will bypass those attempts with perfect tracking at an inherent Speed of 20

*It can readily be assumed that the Revenge Seal's effects are proto-sentient, and may not be Equestrian in nature

 

Spiral made numerous modifications to the miniaturized thermal optic system, allowing for greater clarity in adverse weather conditions.

Instead of leaving the face exposed, Krinza forged a mythril faceplate to match the rest of the helmet's design, using a thin, clear diamondine circle for the right eye opening to protect against debris and shrapnel.

-Armor Value: provides 3DR to the entire head

-Armor Class: Modified Customized Medium

The left side is a stark white mythril, from the tip to the base of the handle; the right a mixed purple and black from highly refined kanpri, both faces infused and strengthened with a thin, crystallized diamondine layering.

Lengthened by Krinza, a scene of numerous prominent Solar Guardians surrounding General Sharonel the Solar Lancer facing the Solar Tyrant is featured on the mythril facing. The kanpri facing displays a fully armored Sharonel and Queen Chrysalis with numerous Vanguards behind her, side by side towards the hilt facing an armored Nightmare on the tip, all smiling competitively towards each other.

-Ammunition Type #2: darts and slugs have an optimal range of 80M with a -1 penalty to all Shotgun rolls per 20M beyond this range, and a maximum range of 140M. Comes with 32x Slugs. Slugs have Armor Crush 4 & darts have Armor Pierce 5

-Ammunition Type #3: finned darts have an optimal range of 120M with a -1 penalty to all Shotgun rolls per 20M beyond this range, and a maximum range of 160M. Finned Darts have Armor Pierce 6

 

*****

The cylinder was modified to accommodate six power crystals, three of which are aligned to Lightning and three Void Elemarentals respectively, as well as replacing the hammer with a moderately dense rubber to prevent any feedback from occurring.

Spiral’s modifications make it impossible to chamber standard ammunition, and the power crystals are notoriously difficult to remove.

-Melee Weapon Class: One-Handed

-Base Modifier: adds +2 to all Assault/Parry/Riposte & +2 to all Small Arms rolls

-Ammunition Class: Elemarental, fires either <Lightning or <Void Elemarental bolts, though cannot use the SAME Elemarent more than 8 times consecutively or negative effects will begin occurring

-Maximum Optimal Range: 100M with a -1 penalty to Small Arms rolls per 50M beyond this range

-Maximum Effective Range: 250M

 

*****

Like all military grade weaponry during Ferrundi's sub-current and current era, one would traditionally require a standard Semi-Exosuit in order to operate one properly as it uses a highly advanced 4 gauge titanium shotshell, instead of standard 30MM cannon shells as cost, recoil, and weight saving measures.

The Spiker, aptly named by Walker pilots, is able to utilize standard ammunition, such as flechettes and buckshot, but is also capable of firing APFSDS (Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding-Sabot rounds) slugs and finned darts employed with a stabilized Livermorium penetrator, an element similar to iridium, specially designed to punch through multiple layers of metal and composite plating, as well as the thick hide, muscle, and bones of common predators.

This Spiker, once owned by Lont before leaving the military, was thoroughly modified and overhauled by Anon, implementing a series of shock absorbing compass springs in the buttstock, porting the barrel, and adding a muzzle brake to reduce recoil to manageable (for human) levels.

On it's own, a single Spiker does little against the average giant war machines and monsters that roam Ferrundus's open plains, save for an experienced veteran specialized in the mass produced weapon. This instead limits use to massed volley fire against weak points, essentially giving human squads the power to cut down or delimb enemies from 20 to 100 times their own size.

Due to the size of the Spiker's ammunition, the paired underbarrel tubular magazines are only capable of holding 3 shells apiece, along with one in the chamber of course, for a maximum of 6+1.

-Base Modifier: considered a Heavy Shotgun, adds +4 to all Shotgun rolls

-Ammunition Capacity: 7/7 shells, may carry 28 additional shells with a maximum of 14 Livermorium slugs or darts in reserve

-Ammunition Type #1: buckshot has Armor Crush 4 & flechettes have Armor Pierce 5; both have a maximum optimal range of 100M with a -1 penalty to all Heavy Shotgun rolls per 50M beyond this range, and a maximum range of 200M.

-Ammunition Type #2: slugs have Armor Crush 5 & darts have Armor Pierce 6; both have a maximum optimal range of 150M with a -1 penalty to all Heavy Shotgun rolls per 50M beyond this range, and a maximum range of 250M.

-Ammunition Type #3: finned darts have armor Pierce 8 ,a maximum optimal range of 200M with a -1 penalty to all Heavy Shotgun rolls per 50M beyond this range, and a maximum range of 350M

-Ammunition Type #4: Livermorium slugs ignore 1/2 DR up to 20 and cause extensive trauma, Livermorium darts have Armor Pierce 13; both have a maximum optimal range of 250M with a -1 penalty to all Heavy Shotgun rolls per 50M beyond this range, and a maximum range of 400M

Sharing a great deal of similarities with most modern motorcycles, the Outrider's low profile can be compared to traditional racing motorcycles due to it's heavy duty single-wheel suspensions and it's large ground-gripping tires, further reinforced with plexigrade spikes for additional traction. The rear storage compartments, though small, give the rider somewhat more mission flexibility than one would expect.

Armed with a single M249 mounted to the driver’s front and right of the driver, the majority of it's civil grade fiberglass panels were replaced with a semi-lightweight steel alloy, increasing it's weight to a somewhat dismal level.

If one gripe could be made, the additional strain on the base model engine engine is a bit more than than Lont would have preferred, though alternatives are currently being researched by Krinza.

Mallia Castella:

 

*****

Carapace place is commonly seen amongst the lower ranks of Enginseers due to their excellent protective qualities for accompanying armored vehicles and performing repairs in field, yet shunned by the rest of the AdMech as an unnecessary, restrictive layer of inconvenience.

This one has been customized with numerous integrated devices, though as the quality is quite low it isn't as durable as Mallia would prefer.

-Armor Value: provides 2DR to the entire head

-Armor Class: Medium Helmet

-Electronic Slots: 0/5 remaining

-Electronic Enhancemarent #1: Common Quality Commbead, allows the receiving of unecrypted and encrypted messages on standard channels

-Electronic Enhancemarent #2: Common Quality Voxcaster, allows the sending of unencryped and encrypted messages on standard channels

-Electronic Enhancemarent #5: Poor Quality Integrated Preyvision Goggles, functions as Thermals and adds +1 to a SINGLE Perception/Scouting/Wilderness Survival roll

-Mechanical Enhancemarent: reduces the duration & effects of Concussions by 1/2

 

Composed of rigid, layered armaplas plates, a heat-absorbent plastic and metal composite, protecting the entire torso, legs, arms, and groin.

While the gaps between each plate are somewhat larger than those found in flak armor, carapace armor is considerably more protective, though this one must have come from one of the smaller Forge-Worlds due to it's somewhat shoddy manufacture.

-Armor Value: 3DR

-Armor Class: Standard Medium

-Electronic Slots: 0/2 remaining

-Electronic Enhancemarent #1: Common Quality Auspex Unit. An interface screen mounted on the right arm linked to a number of analysis and scanning systems embedded across the upper torso, granting a [1d6+2] <CQ.

ARTIFICER-CLASS LIGHT ARMOR:

Using her knowledge of perhaps thousands of STC wargear designs and the incredibly special, unique, or easily obtainable non-human materials available on Tallus which she was able to acquire, Inquisitor Flash created this personalized variant of Flak armor over several months after Razorback Fortress was completed.

Combining the resiliency of durable, alchemically infused alloys with the extreme comfort expected by Tallus materials, this Flak Helmet was designed to provide the maximum possible protection while remaining light enough to not encumber the wearer.

Discarding thousands of of otherwise Administratum Mechanicus approved STC Flak Helmet schematics in favor of a full head AND neck covering design, Inquisitor Flash's custom design on this particular helmet incorporates a flawless diamond PreySense Visor that has been integrally and mechanically attached to the helmet itself, also providing optimal shrapnel protection for the wearer.

Combined with a full chin, mouth, and nose-covering rebreather devised from Tallus materials based upon her Mars-trained knowledge, this helmet is directly comparable to Inquisitorial class variations.

Similar to her bodysuit, it is capable of being resized to fit nearly any base human head size, excepting Ratlings, Ogryn, and especially Space Marines, yet is comfortable enough to wear for weeks, or possibly months, on end. Also contains two human soul-spirits

*The first hailing from Segmentum Pacificus with the name of Luaris Dranaki, a former Imperial Navy Admiral assigned to the Calixus sector using the codename of 'WItch-Two', presumably an Inquisitorial designation

*The second is Adronal Pacose, codenamed Tox-11, an incredibly sour tech-destroyer personality that keeps to himself most of the time. And never, EVER, uses capitalization unless necessary.

-Armor Value: 3DR

-Armor Class: Tallus Modified Light

-Enchantmarent Slots Remaining: 2/2

-Electronic Enhancemarent #1: Best Quality Commbead, grants access to standard, encrypted, and numerous Ordo Chronos and Xenarite channels, able to receive even the weakest signals up to 10 miles away

-Electronic Enhancemarent #2: Best Quality Voxcaster, allows the transmission of standard, encrypted, and numerous Ordo Chronos and Xenarite channels out to 100 miles

-Electronic Enhancemarent #3: Best Quality Rebreather, allows the filtration of most nearly all gasses, chemicals, Poisons & Toxins, and reduces the effects of airborne Elemarental, Eldritch, & Spectral effects by 1/2

-Electronic Enhancemarent #4: Best Quality Photo-Visor, prevents being Blinded from ALL forms of bright lights, whether physical, magical, Elemarental, and Mystical

-Electronic Enhancemarent #5: Best Quality Integrated Preyvision Visors, functions as Thermals with a maximum 500M range, adds +4 to a SINGLE Perception/Scouting/Wilderness Survival roll

-Mechanical Enhancent #1: reduces the duration & effects of Concussions by 3/4

 

Possibly unintended, this specific set of armor looks more like Graia Pattern Flak Armor combined with AdMech Carapace Design System 6.12, which can be adjusted, repaired, and modified with little problem.

Creating the extremely hardened and moderately specialized forearm mounted Auspex from compositing basic Empire crystalline materials with a number of rare Planar pseudo-metals, the rugged sensor arrays were designed via alchemically produced, highly sensitive arcane meta-materials.

Further bolstered by indepth knowledge of Void Shielding on a micro-scale, she was able to transfer her original Auspex's highly dedicated and loyal Machine Spirit with little difficulty. Being one of Inquisitor Flash's personal Machine Spirits, this one is extremely dedicated and rarely suffers from logic overflow faults.

*As a result of the exceptionally high grade housing, it is incredibly happy, helpful, and highly resistant to damage due to the use of an energy-state pseudo-organic system that she is loathe to explain.

In addition, a pair of twin human souls inhabit the armor itself. (“It’s possible they were part of an.. erm, a certain ‘Project’. Which one specifically, I would rather you not know nor understand. Nothing good came from it. ..and nothing good ever will.” -Flash)

*Codenamed Pheron and Phenon, both hail from the Outer Segmentum Pacificus world called Jego, a minor Forge-World and Imperial Guard training center.

At some point Flash intended to finish this armor, though either ran out of ideas, boredom, or motivation. Probably the latter.

-Armor Value: 4DR

-Armor Class: Modified Custom Light

-Enchantmarent Slots Remaining: 3/3

-Electronic Enhancemarent #1: Best Quality Auspex Unit. A slim, virtually weightless auraplas interface holoscreen mounted on the right arm, linked to a staggeringly high number of analysis, detection, and scanning systems fit within.

A profoundly time consuming system to construct and test, this one is able to detect and analyze nearly all forms of motion, sound, radiation, gasses, liquids, the composition of materials, electronic equipmarent, living beings, their relative physiology, Elemarents, and the most common esoteric facts within a 500M radius.

*Grants a [1d6+4] <BQ. Auspex roll

-Electronic Enhancemarent #2: Artificer-Grade Chroniton Wave Reader. One of the few purely original designs that Flash has been able to construct on Tallus, directly copied from a Necron template, this bafflingly simple function is capable of analyzing, and sometimes predicting, abnormal temporal events.

How it works, why it works, and when it works, only the Inquisitor herself truly knows, although it will readily aid Chisan Nas and Mallia Castella in the prevention of temporal breaches. However, for several obvious reasons this function does NOT like Chisan.

*Grants a [1d6+2] <Chroniton Wave Reader roll

In common service throughout the entire AdMech, Omnissian Axes are considered across the galaxy as the office symbol of Enginseers, regardless of their status, rank, or age.

Due to their wide spread usage as both a reasonably effective weapon and an invaluable tool for assisting with the Rites of Repair, each Enginseer is explicitly demanded (or ordered, depending on their unit) to customize their assigned Omnissian Axe for specific purposes. This one is her original, coming stock from a relatively good sized Forge on Mars.

Comes with an integrated MIU-linked adjustable omni-wrench, a simple gas-plasma cutting torch that can also be used for welding, and a small ceramite prying blade for removing armor panels in a hurry.

Since it's machine spirit is new (again) and hasn't had time to develop any quirks, it will rarely if ever complain.

-Melee Weapon Class: Two-Handed

-Base Modifier: adds +1 to all Assault/Parry/Riposte rolls

-Rites of Repair: adds +1 to all Engineering & Tech-Use rolls when performing in-combat repairs

-Modification: Two-Handed Block: gains an additional Block roll ONLY when using both hands to wield

-Armor Pierce: 1 when 2-Handing

 

*****

As this one is of rather cheap make, the machine spirit is prone to fits and may jam often.

-Base Modifier: adds +1 to all Light Energy Weapons rolls.

-Ammunition Class: Pistol Laser, Semi-Automatic

-Armor Pierce 1

-OVERCHARGE: adds +2 to all Light Energy Weapon rolls and increases to Armor Pierce 2, though uses 2 charges per shot

-Magazine Capacity: 20/20 shots, comes with 3x Small Power Packs

-Optimal Range: 50M, with a -1 penalty to all Light Energy Weapon rolls per 30M beyond this range

-Maximum Range: 110M

 

Little more than an armaplas body, a Tech Priest built electro-circuit board, an actual trigger, a long lasting ceramite barrel, a standard focusing array, a quality power cell, and a standard machine spirit housing.

As this weapon is of decent make, the machine spirit neither particularly likes nor dislikes its current housing, and so does not jam often.

-Base Modifier: adds +1 to all Light Energy Weapons rolls

-Armor Pierce: 1

-OVERCHARGE: adds +2 to all Light Energy Weapon rolls and increases to Armor Pierce 2, but uses 2 charges per shot

-Ammunition Class: Rifle Laser, Semi-Automatic

Unlike the Poor Quality dataslates issued to the Imperial Guard, the Mechanicus Common Quality dataslate is capable of text, video, and schematic storage, much like a smartphone though is considerably more limited as programming is far advanced in the 41st Millennium’s mass produced equipment.

 

Specifically for use by Enginseers to inspect the various electronics and cogitators they come across for data corruption, data compatability, and to provide an additional MIU interface for hacking.

*Grants an additional Tech-Use roll when used to access electronic devices or initiate repairs

 

Guaranteed to function on every mass produced weapon, armor, device, and vehicle throughout the Imperium.

Comes with a number of STC printouts containing information on how to build small las-forges, chemical work stations, small vehicle repair bays, and other necessities.

Unlike the kits issued to Imperial Guard Operators, however, is the addition of a small high tech las-cutter, able to cut, seam, and weld most materials.

Added to this is a miniature fabrication machine fitted with a material scanning auspex for ensuring the tightest of tolerances, capable of nanolathing small parts.

An MIU-compatible auspex inspector is last, capable of determining material compositions.

All devices are powered by the same power packs most laspistols and lasrifles use.

*Adds +1 to and grants an additional Engineering roll when in use

 

*Adds +1 to all Engineering rolls when used

*May not be used with a Tool & Fabrication Kit

 

Created by attaching 400 alloy steel plates of varying shapes to a short length of industrial synthmuscle, embedded with roughly 100 micromotors and actuators, then installed with a self-recharging power cell programmed by a senior Tech Priest to ensure long lasting function, giving it a tentacle like appearance.

This allows prehensile flexibility and enough strength to pick up even Astartes bolter rifle without unbalancing even the smaller users… much.

The head is finally slotted with two small techno-sorcery based retractable tools capable of nanite-forming virtually any flat head, star, hex, shank, hex-ring, eight-point, standard/metric bolt or nut, and virtually all other small parts imaginable.

Directly implanted into Mallia's central spine without a need for an additional neural interface due to her MIU, the mental connection to this mechadendrite allows her to use it as another limb without causing mental lag. Although the AdMech would normally frown at doing so, it can also be used to wield and fire pistols for her.

This specific one comes directly from a larger Forge on Mars, thus it features an incense censer for calming particularly unruly or damaged Machine Spirits, a retractable 6" monomolecular cutting blade, six sets of three-pronged 0-gravy alloy manipulator claws for performing fine repairs or holding an item in place, a small but powerful cutting torch, and six injector pistons filled with Ligature Oil.

-Armor Value: 20 Armor

-Armor Durability: 2DR

-Blessed Incense of the Machine Spirit: grants a [1d6+2] <Blessed Incense roll when performing Tech-Use on electronic devices, may only be used ONCE every 3rd turn

-Ligature Oil Injectors: grants a [1d6+2] <Sacrament of the Omnissiah roll that may be used for Engineering or Tech-Use during repairs; the Ligature Oil bottles MUST be replaced after all six have been used

*If the Injectors are replaced with Regenerative Crystalline Bio-Gel this instead becomes a [1d6+6] <Blessing of the Poneissiah roll, which may only be utilized on Crystalline Shells or other Bio-Crystalline Technology

-Improvisional Weapon Mount: can be used to fire an additional Small Arm with a single applicable roll

-Monomolecular Blade: grants a [1d6+2] <Monomolecular Blade roll that ignores 1/2 DR, may be used in combat or for Engineering purposes

-Micro-Plasma Cutter: grants a [1d6+2] <Plasma Torch roll that may be used to weld most materials together, cut through plating, or burn through an opponent's armor

-Rites of Repair: grants a [1d6+2] <Rites of Repair roll that functions as either Engineering or Tech-Use when repairing electronic devices, weapons, armor, or vehicles

-Utility Mechandrite: grants a [1d6+2] <Utility Mechandrite roll that can function as either Engineering or Tech-Use

Choosing to create woven strands of semi-fluidic bluesteel in two layers, Spiral further reinforced the exterior with the addition of smaller, overlapping flexible plates for greater protection. Was acquired by Eric over a year later but never used.

The inner layer is provided a measure of shock absorbance via cured and tanned basilisk hide padding melded to the fluidic wire stranded frame, now entirely refit by Krinza for Natilda to wear, allowing full freedom of movemarent without sacrificing much needed protection.

-Armor Value: provides 3DR to most of the body, but only 2DR to the hands

-Armor Class: Light

-Enchantmarent Slots Remaining: 2/2

-Defensive Enchantmarent #1: reduces ALL Ice damage caused, whether physical, magical, Elemarental, Mystical, or Planar by 1/2, though may not work against Eldritch

This particular Mosin-Nagant is the longest and second heaviest of its breed, measuring in at 49 inches and weighing 8.9 pounds when fully loaded.

Due to its weight, the M91's recoil is noticeably less than carbine variants, and makes an excellent impromptu spear whenever kebabs need removing, allowing it to be used as a short spear.

*Blinds enemies similar to a flashbang with a [1d6] roll for duration, and causes a -3 penalty to all visual and scent based Perception rolls to enemies in the vicinity.

*Also makes a cute squeaking sound, too!

Pareidolia:

 

*****

Vastly improved with a sequential layering of Hyfalgryph scales, it was augmarented with a sealed, infused planar silk to allow a limited auto-stealth functionality, and comes with a unique self-regenerating power cell that drains ambient energy discharges and energy from it's surroundings.

Further modified by Spiral's gryphon form with a semi-synchronized Tallus power crystal to ensure stable operation, featured on the back in a small containmarent unit combined with an advanced processing unit.

When struck while in stealth, the optical camouflage will flicker on and off randomly for that turn before returning to normal, and excessive exposure to water will cause the system to disable the active nanofilamarents, temporarily shutting off the auto-camouflage function for a short period of time.

While it is possible to use firearms during Stealth, the overall system cannot mask muzzle flash and has no effect on sound dampening.

-Armor Value: provides 4DR, full body

-Armor Class: Enhanced Customized Light

-Enchantmarent Slots Remaining: 1/3

-Electronic Enhancemarent #1: adds +2 to all in-combat Stealth rolls, and converts all rolls to Auto-Stealth in dark conditions, including red, purple, violet, black, and green spectrums; when in blue, yellow, orange, and white spectrum lighting this effect is disabled. Regenerates to 4/4 Charges per Operation

-Defensive Enchantmarent #1: reduces ALL damage from primarily or purely esoteric Casting, Druidic, Elemarental, Planar, Psionic, Otherworldly, Spectral, and Undead by 1/4, EXCLUDING Eldritch, Mysticism, and Necromancy/Necromarecy

*ELDRITCH ARTISTRY: adds +1 to all Carving, Crafting, Dancing, Engineering, Intimidation (in writing), Negotiation (only when done in writing), Sculpting, and Singing rolls. During these attempts, Pareidolia may NOT be interrupted. Should one make the effort to prevent this... they will not enjoy the repercussions.

*ONCE per Operation, Pareidolia is capable of taking 100% control of his armor utilizing a directed electromagnetic bioneural-feed algorithm resulting from his exposure to an experimental Lightning-based alchemical substance in the Enclave. During this state, Pareidolia is capable of 'feeling', 'seeing', sensing', 'hearing', and 'tasting' his surroundings through the Void, albeit in an electrified state, and is incapable of experiencing physical pain.

*ONCE per Operation, Pareidolia is granted a [1d6+10] <Auto-Lightning Shield which is capable of destroying and damaging projectiles or weapons, and is able to redirect or nullify a single Lightning elemarental attack, whether physical, magical, Mystical, or Druidic in nature, but cannot defend against Eldritch, Otherworldly, or Planar Lightning

*ONCE per Operation, Pareidolia is capable of drawing all electrical energies from power crystals within a 10M radius of him to enhance his Lightning Strike ability, allowing additional arcs to chain onto all targets within 5M of the original target

 

The original material was entirely replaced with a 3/8" thick black sapphirine produced on Tallus and shaped by Anon, its material properties approximating medium-strength alloy titanium.

Features an integrated air filtration system using a coupling allowing for the use of standard military grade multi-stage air filters.

*Neural Operating Algorithim Heuristic/Stand Alone Ghost 5.2 (NOAH/SAG 5.2): an upgraded version of prior NOAH variants and iterations, the SAG sub-type was designed to be fully functional in both independent and networked roles.

Capable of rapid, in-field calculations, predictive analysis, electronic warfare and countermeasures, full suite accessibility to all the modern electronic protocols of the 22nd century, and a nearly infinite learning potential thanks to the unrivaled success of the Amadeus and Salieri projects, they otherwise held all the same capabilities of previous NOAH versions at magnitudes greater thresholds.

Much of their initial applications were internal, networking with and accelerating the learning and development of older NOAH models via improved machine learning. Capable of integrating themselves into nearly any electronic system, they were also designed for modular attachment to certain vehicles, exoskeletons, or spacecraft and with sufficient prior training could utilize and operate them independently of human input or assisting human operators.

Trials were being undertaken to provide durable, reliable android bodies sufficiently able to facilitate their housing, however individual preferences among SAG templates resulted in some preferring to remain in their drive forms rather than transfer.

Intended for use in both combat and non-combat roles, their existence was largely kept to Committee installations and personnel as roll-out plans for the public sector were still ongoing in tandem with memory preservation/digitization analogues. Consideration was also provided for provisional attachment to the GAIA project.

All personality templates were drawn from Committee volunteers who had achieved incredible excellence in any particular field of study, art, feat, or performance and wished for ‘themselves’ to live on in a more permanent manner after their physical death. Within the civilian support staff and a non-minor amount of combat staff, popular idol singers and philosophers were highly requested SAG partners.

*Codename: Shiibo (Brash, Curious, Determined, Emotional, Experimenter, Focused, Hard-Working, Inquisitive, Intellectual, Intuitive, Kind, Logical, Precise, Savant, Tsundere)

-Armor Value: provides 4DR to the entire head

-Armor Class: Medium Helmet

-Enchantmarent Slots Remaining (Raw): 2/2

-Black Sapphirine Enhancement: reduces all damage caused by Void Elemarentals by 1/2, also grants 2 raw Enchantment slots

-Mechanical Enhancement #1: reduces the duration & effects of Blind and Concussions by 1/2

-Technological Enhancement #1: grants a [1d6+4] <I.Predictive Behavior Analysis ability when Pareidolia performs any Psychological Assessment tests against an individual. This ability may not be used in tandem with the <Threat Matrix Analysis ability, only one or the other may be used each turn.

-Technological Enhancement #2: grants a [1d6+3] <Threat Matrix Analysis ability against a single target, the result of which informs Pareidolia of the target's potential threat vectors and capabilities. This ability may not be used in tandem with the <I.Predictive Behavior Analysis ability, only one or the other may be used each turn.

-Technological Enhancement #3: whichever A.I. model Pareidolia selects for operational functions, it is able to access and display all information that its' predecessors and alternative A.I. have recorded in the past, whether visual, auditory, data files.

A modernized suite of illogical-logic calculation nodes based on exceptional human neural processes round out the features for more flexible infield support. This function also allows Pareidolia to review all recorded information at any time, and cannot be heard without significant difficulty.

-Technological Enhancement #4: functions as a standard radio system out to 10 miles and may transmit up to a 25 miles, allowing Pareidolia to act as a long ranged receiver-transceiver; may also utilize encryption protocols and codes at will.

-Technological Enhancement #5: a suite of standard organo-heuristic learning algorithms allows the current A.I. to utilize moderately complex encryption, decryption, and security systems using 3x [1d6+3] <E.Electronic Warfare rolls.

-Technological Enhancement #6: an extensive suite of bio-analytic programs and recursive data stacks that actively and remotely scan Pareidolia's physical state, when allowed the proper authorization and access to do so.

Displaying near-exact injuries down to the millimeter, equipment and weapon damage, positive or negative status conditions, including a small screen dedicated to a self-analysis of his approximate mental state.

*The system is also capable of determining potential harm delivered by physical and mostly-solid enemy combatants once scanned by other technological devices, although it hasn't been linked and collected enough data to do so. Yet.

The grip is some form of carved wood, species unknown, while the blade itself is a rushed forge job, but still pure pinksteel nonetheless. How such pure pinksteel was acquired and then so poorly forged together into this weapon is an odd story:

From the numerous records recovered from Harlon's lab, there is a limited amount of information on the origins of this old biteblade. A year or so before the Temporal Incident at Harlon's lab, the Guards were investigating reports of a deranged pony inhabiting the deep woods near Canterlot.

The reports themselves were quite real, but the story had a strange twist: the pony in question claimed to be tormarented by hallucinations and voices in his head, and assumed that he was being harassed by spirits.

Somehow acquiring a lump of pure pinksteel, he forged this rush job of a blade in utmost desperation. His background, where he acquired the pinksteel, and how he had any skill in forging remain unknown.

When they attempted to subdue and aid him, he shocked the Guard squad by plunging the biteblade into the head of the Captain and dashed away into the woods. He was never seen again after this, though the Guard gave their all to track him down for the murder.

Convinced that there must have been more to the weapon, they brought it to Harlon for analysis. He concluded there was nothing to the blade besides being badly made, then threw the weapon in with all the other rejects and oddities.
