SPOILERS FOR NO ROOM FOR A WALLFLOWER LATE SPRING/EARLY SUNMER
So yesterday we finally had another Lancer session. For some reason Guardian was once again absent, but the rest of the party was able to make it for downtime 2.
Dustmite, Butcher, and Mudskipper decided to start the morning after the attack on evergreen by figuring out the deal with the captured pilot from the assault. They learn that he is a Hercynian Ranger named Arro Ordo(i gave Dthall a brother) and he explains that he was a member of a contingent of Rangers that had broken away from the main force, and they were tired of the seeming inaction that Dthall was showing towards Evergreen, but now he realizes his mistake and that Evergreen is not with the machine or Union as he also refers to it. The party doesn't ask much more beyond that, but Mudskipper begins getting a headache (for reference, he's an empath and he took cynosure) so he decides he needs to go lie down, only for Butcher to decide that he wants to figure out what cynosure is and look into his mech.

Mudskipper is knocked out by a strange force, rendering him unconscious, and while Butcher and the rest of the party try to figure out whats going on he begins having a nightmare (the group is trying to cure Cynosure, so I thought it would be fun to scare them). After a bit of digging through the code and some old seccom research documents into Paracausaul systems, they are eventually able to piece together what is going on.

After curing him of Cynosure, a few days pass and Mudskipper is starting to feel a bit better, however he is concerned for his mech, which while it doesn't have an NHP, shows some signs of sentience. (As the GM, i let everyone in the group kinda flavor their backstory however they want, and Mudskipper is an amnesiac union operative who was sealed in a metavault for 500 years. I have aome pretty grand plans for him, so I will reveal them later >:) )
Mudskipper and his mech, the Kappa, a horus hydra pattern group, have a conversation where he apologizes for installing the software, before kappa makes mention of the strange signal it is beginning to hear.
\\from across the sea, a prophet speaks of a great flood, and of bodies rising from the water
Concerned, he immediately tries to tell the party, but everyone just assumes its a residual effect of Cynosure.
A few more days pass while the party decides to follow up on a rumor they heard about an old buried weapons cache a day or two's travel north of evergreen, but while they are gone they want to make sure the town is safe, and so they begin construction on defences around the perimeter. Its about this time that Shadow Dragon gets a call from his horrible parents, and Cavalier also gets a call from his brother. Apparently Cavalier's brother Mauler will be arriving in the system soon, and wants to meet to catch up, while Shadow Dragon's parents are only calling to make sure the situation around evergreen is being stabilized, but they threaten to take away his licenses if they are unable to remedy the issues down there.
After a few days of prepping, a worried patience meets them at the gate before they leave. Thanks to the new emplacements he hopes they will be safe, but wants permission to use the players mechs while they are gone for defence. The players allow him to do so, and they begin heading off...
Okay, thats not the end of the session, I'll be back to finish this once Im done in the shower. I have to get ready for my job, unfortunately.
(back now)
When the players arrive at what they assumed was a bunker, or some kind of old military installation, and discover that its the ruins of a crashed carrier ship. Inside they begin exploring, finding a large amount of old weapons, and a massive kinetic driver cannon in pieces.
Further in they find a section of old offices and command centers, where in there are hundreds of scattered documents across the floors and in destroyed shelving that has to be pried open. Old manifests for cargo and weapons, as well as classified reports of the weapons they are using and researching. Horrifying beasts of metal, and the WorldKiller TBK initiative. Unsure of what this is referring to, they open the final cargo bay, and discover a Genghis MK1 with the barrel reduced to a molten slag, and a room covered in large clawmarks, in the center of which sits the HA-enkidu, a terrifying weapon which they fought only a few weeks ago.
As they head back to evergreen, the heat and humidity is searing, as early summer has set upon them, and on approaching the colony, patience radios for them.
Something is coming. From across the ocean, a siren comes to finish a war that should have ended hundreds of years ago.
