Unerased Savior

[SolSavior's seen better days.  Lots of them.  Even the fight with Sara had confined the damage to mostly just SolSavior's joints and more vulnerable spots, whereas this scuffle with Sol"Eraser"'s seen much of the true and honest Sol machine pushed to the limit]

The Shadow Mirrors and the Indalph... united in desires for conflict and conquest.  Justify war to provide a reason for technological advancement and growth, and just move from world to world so you're never short on supply.  I wouldn't be surprised if the Shadow Mirror's own world just drove them away...

Certainly would explain why they didn't try coming to us asking for help... or the Indalph doing anything for them either, come to think of it.

Or maybe they really just don't care.  They certainly all have a trend for disregarding the weak and undesired.

[And yet the Savior team weren't the ones that got the roughest fate out there.  The memorial for fallen pilots has a new entry, and double agent status be damned...]



... Lamia...

[Mizuki's still going to pay her respects.]

I wish the circumstances of... everything... could've been better.  For your sake.

Wherever you are, whatever afterlife exists for... whatever you were... rest well.  When it came to it, you were our friend, not the Shadow Mirror's tool.  And we'll see them pay for what they did to everyone, you included.

If we managed to kill Mauser, the Shadow Mirrors would be thrown into disarray. It is possible our conflict with them would have ended right there, and their alliance with the Indalph fall apart.

Unfortunately, that did not came to be. And there is no point dwelling on such alternative scenarios. Instead, there are some mysteries about our enemies that I would like to know.

I have plenty of questions myself, though I'm all in favor of hearing the perspective of someone with actual military experience. What's on your mind?

The first matter is: how did the Indalph manage to construct a whole replica of SolSaviour in such a short period of time? Just what, exactly, is their production capacity?

"Replica" might be too strong a word. Certainly made in the image of SolSavior at the very least.

And don't forget to account for Sara either. When she... finally burned every bridge she had here, she used some sort of sounding mechanism to understand the design of the machine. And she grew up around other machines, to say nothing about working with Dido to help design the ShelLancer. At least from a planning standpoint they'd know what they were doing.

... But if they wanted to and had the materials for it, they could've made more. They didn't. And for an attack on a Unity Group base, you'd think they'd try to commit more. Especially since their forces can just pop in from other dimensions and for all we know there's no way of stopping that.

[abugslife]

Perhaps they need pilots who are good enough to control further SolErasers. And they only managed to find three.

The Shadow Mirrors, on the other hand, do not have that problem. In such a short period of time they not only reverse-engineered the Huckebein, but also improved tis design and started to produce it en masse. If we do not find out where their factories are, soon we shall face even more of those powerful machines.

[empress_without_a_throne]

We'll have our work cut out for us, that's for sure. And if those factories are somewhere we can't get to, like another dimension...

... At least with Kaiju we'd know when they'd come popping out of the Breach.
