The Fleet Protected By God pt. 2

[prismphantom]

[So.  Who's up for more bad news after that stuff with Septuagint and the SSR?]

I hate to say this, but we might not have seen the last of that thing.  Or at least the last of its kind.

Elma?




Thank you Miss Selena.  When I actually got the chance to analyze them, the energy signatures from the Zehirut that we fought alongside the SSR seemed familiar to me.  It seemed odd at first since we've battled many Balmarian machines but nothing captured the same kind of aesthetic as the "Zehirut"...

But then I remembered the Balmarian/Zentraedi fleet battle Selena and I stumbled on!  The one where the Aerogators somehow fielded a machine that single-handedly turned the tide of the battle in a single instant... like what happened according to Kup's story when the Decepticons fought another fleet!



Meaning there's quite likely another one of those things waiting for us inside of the fleet's flagship.  And inside every other Balmarian flagship as well.

Lovely time for us to lose funding, isn't it?

A self-repairing machine that can destroy an entire Zentraedi Fleet on it's own...and there are multiple of them.

Here I thought destroying that one would be the end of it...

[prismphantom]

Leave it to the Balmarians to have duplicates of their soldiers and of their machines.

Makes you wonder why they even need a fleet in the first place.

[a_linear_mind]

I don't think it ever hurts to not have to use your most powerful weapons.

[prismphantom]

That would certainly explain why Professor Shirakawa's loathe to use the Neo Granzon.

[a_linear_mind]

You don't know the half of it. He has another weapon on the regular Granzon he hasn't used yet.

[It's hard to tell if he's being serious.]

[prismphantom]

Another?

... Is it another devastating energy blast or something different?

[a_linear_mind]

...something like that.

[prismphantom]

Well, leave it to the good professor to never let a thing like redundancy hold him back.

[a_linear_mind]

I guess I shouldn't bring up his emergency land battleship...

[prismphantom]

Emergency ship-

... How many La Gias kingdoms did he bankrupt to make that?

[a_linear_mind]

If there's one thing I've learned about Shu Shirakawa, it's that money is no object.

[prismphantom]

For him, I'm sure. For everyone around him though it's another story.

[a_linear_mind]

Considering how powerful the Valsion was from what I heard, I think the people around him usually find a way to manage.

[prismphantom]

You certainly did at any rate.

[a_linear_mind]

I'm just lucky that I don't have to deal with repair costs. Other than that I'm not anything special.
