Shattered Steel - An Ace Combat/Project Wingman/etc inspired aircraft-based RP

March 12th, 2014
Women's Barracks, Shattered Steel HQ
Malta, The Mediterranean

Aurélie allowed herself the slightest moue of her lips before replacing it with a carefully crafted smile. For all her efforts, it did not quite survive to make it to her eyes.

It had already been a tiring day. First a long flight, then a mediocre meal - the Maltese cooks tried their best with what they had, of course, but alas there was no decent bread, cheese, or wine - and even before she could finish what they had, a couple of the staff had come after one of her squadron mates. Aurélie had left it to Freyja to handle the matter herself. She'd not have got this far if she couldn't. But what Aurélie could do, and did, was to make it abundantly clear to the two, after Freyja had left, that they were not - repeat not - to harass another member of Cobalt Squadron again.

She had not needed to resort to threats. In certain situations, the moral authority of a woman sure of her place is enough to shake even the resolve of an angry man. It is a skill normally acquired later in life, once the last fuck-to-give has been lost, as the Anglos might say. But if a child is born without, then she may well turn out like Aurélie....

So it was that she had got back to the barracks to hear the exchange between Mykhailo and Fuka.

"Mykhailo, thanks for bringing food. Maybe don't announce people's business at the threshold like you're our town crier?"

And then another murmur from behind the door that she couldn't quite make out. But given the circumstances, she could well guess. She pitched her voice to carry past the door, so Fuka, and presumably Freyja, would hear what she was doing.

"Ciel!" she said. "It is our little Casanova, Mykhailo, here to woo the ladies, no? It is your lucky day then, I have been looking for someone to scratch my itch in the simulators. Come with me now, or do you make it a habit to keep a lady waiting?"

She was going to need a large cognac by the end of the evening. They would all owe her for this, perhaps Mykhailo most of all. The boy was truly - how you say? - "cruising for a bruising".

Ithiel

Name: "Ithiel" Ithi'elna'dan-sourakoru
Age: 67
Species: Inadri
Appearance:

Large image

Personality: Ithiel is somewhat shy and reserved, preferring to observe rather than speak up, to watch and wait rather than leap into action. She's endlessly patient and loves nature, spending her vacation time hiking in the wilderness far from civilisation.
History: Ithiel hails from the Inadri colony planet of Kar'siyaervi, a wild and beautiful frontier world with fewer than one inhabitant per square kilometer. Despite its small population, Kar'siyaervi is hugely overrepresented in the Confederation's Ranger Corps, as its people come largely pre-trained for the types of tasks that Rangers are called on to perform - and tend to have the perfect mentality for the job as well. Indeed her parents were Rangers who met in the course of their duties, and it was almost a matter of course that Ithiel would enlist in the "family firm".
Key facts: Like most Inadri, Ithiel is a telepath; in her case, a fairly strong one. She's also trained in the use of the ESPER lens, a device mounted in Inadri-designed mecha that amplifies the pilot's powers to the mecha scale. In the case of telepathy it extends her range tremendously, and also allows the use of thought-controlled drones called Fangs.

Personal Gear: Spike rifle - An unusual longarm that fires projectiles shaved off a block of metallised polymer accelerated to very high velocity by a rail mechanism. Accurate and highly lethal against personnel, it's a long and finicky weapon, which limits its deployment in the field. Usually the mark of a hunter or sniper: Ithiel is very good at both.
Puuk'ko - The everyday carry knife of many Inadri, it's halfway to being a small sword. Distinguished by its single cutting edge on the inside of its dramatic curve, and the deep belly that gives it tremendous cutting power, it's oddly reminiscent of the Terran kukri. A versatile and useful tool, it can be used for cutting, slicing, chopping, hammering, and occasionally even throwing.

Speciality: Long range reconnaissance and direct action. Tracking, stalking, sniping.

Anything Else: In idle moments, Ithiel whittles little knickknacks to keep her hands busy.

Inle-Rah

Mecha Name: Inle-Rah
Type: Transformable low-observable recon/attack mecha
Crew: Single pilot only
Appearance:

Humanoid mode

Shuttle mode

Stats:
Height - 18 m
Empty weight - 34.7 tons
Loaded weight - 55.3 tons
Weapons: Long beam rifle - Part of the Inle-Rah's Composite Shield Weapons System, this is a powerful and long-ranged particle beam weapon.
Plasma claw - The second function of the Composite Shield Weapons System features a pair of short-range plasma emitters mounted within the shield that deploy like the claws of a lobster, snapping out rapidly and then returning to battery. This reduces the massive power requirement of the plasma emitters.
Head vulcans - The only internally mounted weaponry on the Inle-Rah, these are simple 30mm vulcan guns that fire a mix of AP and HEDP rounds. They're essentially popguns, useful mainly for antimissile work and distracting the opponent.
Equipment: ESPER lens - Fragile, expensive, finicky, and incredibly complex, the ESPER lens is the apotheosis of Inadri technology. It boosts the natural telepathic powers of its user by orders of magnitude, increasing not only range and power but often also enabling the development and use of new abilities altogether.
Fangs - The Inle-Rah mounts eight Fang thought-control drones, directed by its pilot's will as amplified by the ESPER lens. Each is equipped with a small shield generator and a variable laser that can fire in both pulse and continuous modes.
Stealth system - Reduces the sensor signature of the Inle-Rah to that of a small mammal. Particularly effective in Humanoid mode.
EW pod - Another marvel of Inadri science, this allows the Inle-Rah to operate effectively as a Wild Weasel-type electronics warfare craft. In active mode its emissions render the stealth system useless, but it becomes a potent jammer and spoofer. In passive mode it can detect and analyse enemy emissions semi-independently through the Inle-Rah's expert systems.
Other info: While the images provided show the display livery of the Inle-Rah, Ithiel's personal unit is painted in black, gray, and blue.

Aurélie had to stifle a giggle at Fuka's shutdown of Mykhailo's... attempt at a pickup line. You couldn't fault the boy for trying to, how you say, "shoot his shot". But she did hope he was better at flying than flirting.

She wiggled Papillon's wings. It was a standard gesture when you were formation flying, within visual range, like a wave of the hand but with the aircraft itself. A trained eye might note just how crisply the maneouver was executed, a tribute both to the agility of the Rafale and the skill of its pilot.

She cleared her throat, and keyed her comms.

"Cobalt 5, Cobalt 3. Thank you for the information. We are duly warned. Cobalt 7, you are welcome to take me on in the simulator any time."

Looking for Three People to Embark on a Fantasy Adventure with!

I'm interested, and would like to call muse C if possible.

Okay, my CS is more or less complete.
