A little cameo request (or offer?) by Sergio Turbo on 2011-04-04 20:17:00 UTC Reply

Since my agents are going to deliver the F-22s they found in the last mission to DoSAT, may I make them interact with Tecno-Dann and (if it was in 2010/2011 HST) put some references about the dragon-disaster? My idea is to have my agents portal in the Hangar while still on the plane, nearly running on somebody and causing some of the tecnicians mutter things like "yesterday dragons, today fighter jets, what's going to break in tomorrow?". Also, there are only Sun Crushers or other machinery too there?

And I'll need also a couple Agents prone to chase anything vaguely similar to a Sue, in order to add a little misunderstanding in my third Agent's recruitment (mistaken for a Sue, weapons drawn, tension, those sort of things). However, since it's not a godd light on them, I could use generics. It's only an offer. For the ones who want the details, the agent-to-be is supposed a keyblade-welding badfic clone of Sakura Kinomoto (Card Captor Sakura). She was from a whole mess of a fic which I am not going to kill (sort of borderline between good and bad) that has as the best part King Mickey Mouse breaking the Fourt Wall. In a fic that was supposed to be very serious with a Haloverse Spartan as the main character.

Also, in a few days' time I'll need some beta readers for the mission (Ace Combat/Harry Potter crossover). Since it's quite of an experimental thing I'd like if some of the oldbyes could have a look at it and say if it works or if it's a mess.

Me? by Techno-Dann on 2011-04-08 01:23:00 UTC Reply

I don't recall where DoGA stores their Sun Crushers, but I'm pretty sure it's not in the hangar. The only permanent fixtures (as of now) are the aforementioned Darkspear, a large collection of tools for working on ship-sized vehicles, and a very heavily modified gundam. (Agent Dann's pet project - it's constantly suffering massive system integration issues, thanks to having scavenged technology from a half-dozen continuums.)

Portalling straight into the hangar could be problematic, as it's not a normal portal ID code - there's extra parameters for area and volume requirements. Making a space big enough to land a fighter in shouldn't be hard.

(Watch out, though, they might get retrofit with antigravity gear, to make flying them around easier. Stuff left in DoSAT tends to get tinkered with.)

Corolla's a sort of six-inches-tall magitek robot with built-in Remote Activator subprogram, so extra parameters shouldn't be hard, she has only to think about it.

By the way, DoSAT tinkering with the planes is not a problem for me. My Agents bring back a total of seven planes (six shrunken down to toy-size and put in a shoebox, the seventh is the one they are riding in.). Three (two F-22As and an FB-22) are left to DoSAT, two exchanged at the Amoury for some weapons and spare ammo (for both handheld weapons and the plane themselves), and the last two kept for future Ace Combat missions.

In terms of humor, hearing you say 'DoSAT tinkering with planes is not a problem for me' is just asking for trouble.

My friend, you will find the guns replaced by a muffin button or something.

Muffin button! by Neshomeh on 2011-04-08 18:16:00 UTC Reply

"Wh-where did you get that muffin?"

"Muffin button."

"But I never installed a muffin button!"

"... Then where did I get this muffin?"

I was thinking VTOL and masers, personally... (nm) by Techno-Dann on 2011-04-08 17:04:00 UTC Reply

Isn't it too much? by Sergio Turbo on 2011-04-08 18:02:00 UTC Reply

After all, we've got Agents, not Sues.

Even if the better gear would be a nice thing if Sues start to have ADFX-01 Morgans and similars...

P.S. Even if there will be a mid-season (?) upgrade sometime by Sergio Turbo on 2011-04-08 19:06:00 UTC Reply

Basically, with some pieces taken from Electrosphere's F-22C (engines, airbrakes and electronics) and plothole-installed GAU-8 Avenger. In Real World, that's a gattling cannon that fires 30mm depleted uranium shells. The airplane on which is installed, the A-10, is actually built AROUND it!

Obviously, PPC ones should be loaded with depleted phloebotinium instead. Keeping radioactive things in HQ isn't a good idea.

As I said, they're NOT going to tinker with mine. by Sergio Turbo on 2011-04-08 14:37:00 UTC Reply

Airbase dioramas are useful to hide your own shrunken planes in.

Sounds like you mostly need Dann. by Neshomeh on 2011-04-04 21:05:00 UTC Reply

However, as for what's in the hangar, there might also be the "ground ship" Phobos and I found on this mission, dubbed the C.P.S. Darkspear by Agent Barid. (We figured C.P.S. for Continuum Protective Service, or something like that.) She's basically a sailing ship with the inexplicable ability to sail over solid ground. As far as I know, she's still flying Barid's tabard with the rubber Swiss army-knife design as her flag.

So, more and more departments are going to have flagships... by Sergio Turbo on 2011-04-05 19:24:00 UTC Reply

DOGA has Sun Crushers, APD has the C.P.S. Darkspear, and Floaters will have fighter planes. How long before there will be a PPC parade?

I don't know, but now I want one. {= D by Neshomeh on 2011-04-05 20:33:00 UTC Reply

If only the corridors were big enough... I guess it would have to happen in New Caledonia. I bet the assorted dragons could be floats, too. ^_^

The C.P.S. Darkspear is the pride of the PPC's ground ship fleet. And she is still flying the APD tabard as a flag.
