Holy crap, that's one huge-ass machine.

Roughly 600 meters tall... nearly 60 times the size of Reinheit and Wahrheit. There's a reason nobody wants to take missions against an Arms Fort.

Everything's got a weakpoint, and big things like that must have big weakpoints as well! Just run this "Arms Fort" through some analysis and we'll get a big red dot to hit in no time.

But the way this "request" was phrased... it's less an assignment and more like an ultimatum against the White Chalice. Does the League think we're their tools or what?

Do we know anything else about the target that the briefing hasn't told us? Where the core is, other weapons capabilities, average flight speed, how long the duration between shots is, how many shots it has, how long it takes to reload... anything that could be useful to know?

["You're ready for a mission even though we just arrived two weeks ago, Allelujah? It's about damn time!" There is a slight flash of gold behind Allelujah's bangs as Hallelujah laughs hysterically. "And such a large, poorly built machine! I'll kill everyone in it... every last one!"]

I've heard of Spirit of Motherwill, but I've never actually seen it in action. I do remember hearing once that White Glint tried to take it on using the same strategy that Omer provided, but that mission ended in failure...

The only people that would have specifics on what exactly the Spirit has, then, is Bernard and Felix or Line Ark. I'm pretty sure Bernard and Felix won't tell us their secrets, and Line Ark are a bunch of terrorists.

Generally speaking though, the Spirit can't fly. It's too massive for that. I can only guess that an Arms Fort of that capacity has enough ordinance to be constantly firing without too much of an interval between shots and reloading...

[He seems quite apprehensive divulging this information.]

["So what we know is that... the last time someone attempted this, it ended in failure, the only info we have is that proper info can't be given to us, it can't fly which means we'll have to watch out for feet, and it'll probably be shooting at us with no time to take a breath. Sounds like fun!"]

Anything else we could use?

Not sure... anything that can add to the heat signature and can keep up with the Reinheit and Wahrheit to ensure that the White Chalice doesn't get shot at... plus, there's the threat of Kojima radiation... always Kojima radiation...

You seem to have a lot on your mind Alexei. I can understand why though. It's not everyday that you get called in to take out an armed fortress...At least I hope that's not the norm.

I suppose I should've seen it coming. Since the White Chalice signed us on, the League always had some say in what we did, but never voiced itself.

Ask any LYNX in Collared and they'll tell you, "If you get hired to take on an Arms Fort, they're telling you you're fired." I've only ever heard of one LYNX surviving, and that was White Glint... and he was out of commission for several weeks.

And they want us to send people to try and take this out?! That's suicide Alexei!

(Alexei can see the obvious fear and worry in Fate's eyes.)

That's the point. No LYNX is stupid enough to try and take one out... alone that is. Perhaps the League thinks that with the White Chalice's help, we can cause this giant to fall.

Holy hell that's big. And I'll put good money on Witches being unable to dent it easily.

Glad I'm still forced on medical leave.

What... the Spirit? As far as I can remember, it is the biggest Arms Fort in the League... though the League likes to keep secrets, so there could be bigger...

Well they're not asking a lot.

Still, we could definitely use a resupply.

howling_alone October 10 2011, 22:39:52 UTC
Sarcasm at its finest, though you are correct about the resupply. Should we survive this mission, we should get quite the reward.

As much as I hate to admit it, I don't like the idea of getting on the bad side of the League either.

I'm sure that's the vibe they want to send in the White Chalice. If we do this, we get some brownie points and keep them happy for another day...

[He doesn't seem too amused with the situation.]
