Her name is.. Is this a joke? What kind of name is this?
That's the only name we have sir. All other records of her have been purged, and we have no way of reconstructing them.
Are you telling me this kid hacked into secured government systems and permanently altered the data stored inside?
That's what our experts say. They picked up a few traces here and there. Nothing much, but just enough that we were able to trace her. They also say they're not sure whether or not the traces they picked up were left on purpose or not. She's good sir. Really good.
What do we have on her? There's not much in the file.
What you see is what we have. Everything before university is simply gone, and everything afterwards is suspect. The techs say some of the stuff we still have on record seem to be fabricated. What is or isn't is too difficult to tell. Based on her level of skill, and looking back at some recent high profile incidents, we were able to make some possible connections.
What sort of connections?
Certain incidents that would make a hell of a lot more sense if someone with her skills was involved. Confidential information suddenly going public, corporations reporting missing funds, those sort of things.
I'm guessing they never found any evidence linking her to them?
No sir. We did some digging into the incidents. No one ever found a trace of the sort of data manipulation she's capable of. Which could mean several things.
Yeah. She could have had nothing to do with them, or everything. So, why don't you tell me why we haven't already placed her in a cell?
We can use her. She's a genius sir, and young. We've had our psyche team looking at what records we have of her. They've determined that with the right kind of touch, we can manipulate her into doing whatever we want. It would be a waste to lock her up.
Alright. We'll see if we can use her. I'll approve this, but I'll be watching.
Understood sir. Was there anything else?
What ever possessed her to do that to herself?
Her coloring? The psyche team says she likes to stand out. This is one of the reasons we thought she might be involved with those high profile incidents I told you about. Such genetic reconditioning is hideously expensive. She would have to rob people to be able to afford it.
But why did she have to pick such an obscene color?
Sir? The first image is what we think she looked like before the reconditioning.
Never mind. It was a rhetorical question. Damn she's tiny.
You should tell your geek squad they did a good job.
Geek squad? You mean our security experts? I'll be sure to pass on your compliments.
I almost got away from them. You should give em a raise.
I don't have that sort of power. However, do you really think it was such a good idea to hack into government records? Look at where you are now. Under arrest and your future grim.
They shouldn't have been able to catch me! It's not fair! Your guys cheated..
They cheated? Are you sure they weren't just better than you?
No body is better than me! I'm the best! They didn't play fair. They killed my friends.
Your friends? No one mentioned anything about you working with anyone else.
My sprites, they killed my sprites. I couldn't save them. *Sniffle*
You mean the AI programs you used? You created those?
Yeah. *hic* They were my only friends.
I'm sorry for your loss.
What are you doing?
Are you stupid or something? What does it look like?
It looks like you're laying down.
Ding ding ding! We have a winner! I'm taking a nap. All this marching around is made me tired.
You're not allowed to sleep.
When are we going to be done with this boring stuff? I thought you said I could play with your toys. This is so not what I signed up for. I'm tired, dirty, and hungry. I haven't had a nice mug of hot chocolate in so long.
If you don't get up right now you're going to be disqualified.
I don't care! I hate it here! Everyone is yelling at me and making me do stuff that isn't fun. I don't wanna be here anymore!
Then I guess you won't mind missing out on meeting one of our new experimental AI's. That's too bad, he was looking forward to meeting you.
....He was?
Yep. He told me he looked forward to meeting you once you finished your basic training. But, if you're not going to finish, I guess I'll just have to tell him you couldn't make it.
What's his name?
His name? He says his name is Hades.
Hades? That sounds cool. How much longer I gotta do this stuff before I can meet him?
Not too much longer.
Affiliation:
N/A
Ownership:
Phèdre nó Delaunay
Intent:
This ship is intended for personal use only. This ship will give Phèdre a home and a way for her to travel around the universe. Although armed, it's not really intended for ship combat.
Model:
Prototype Heavy Freighter
Name:
Metalocalypse
Dimensions:
32 Length
14 Width
10 Height
Class:
Freighter
Crew:
Metalocalypse can be flown by just one person, but has room enough for one or two passengers.
Complement:
N/A
Armament: (Place holder till I can speak to Jiang about appropriate ship weapons.)
20MM M104 VQF/LAC, 2x Large Single Gun, 1x Medium Dual Gun, Turreted
Two turreted single gun to either side of the ship. Due to the placement and construction of the ship, there is a fairly large blind spot behind the ship. This blind spot is mostly covered by the Single dual gun turret on the back of the ship. The rear turret is much smaller than its two larger brothers.
A 'Very Quick-Firing' Linear Gun, the M104 flings tungsten-alloy 20MM projectiles at 2.5km/s. The gun's rate of fire is 2,500 rounds per minute, and utilizes a forced liquid cooling system to dissipate the heat generated by firing. The ammunition used is a two-to-one ratio of armor-piercing steel shot to pre-stressed 'frangible' rounds that violently dissipate into a small, dense cloud of sharp metal fragments after impact. While the frangible rounds have very little armor penetration value, they are lethal against soft targets such as transports and starfighters. The M104 guns are used as defense against missile and torpedo threats, and as a supplement to the more powerful M90 flak guns. Four guns are located on the bow, four on the stern, and four to each 'wing'.
Equipment:
In addition to the normal military grade systems a ship of this size would have, numerous additions and alterations have been made. The biggest change to the ship, was the addition of living areas. The original design included a small armory, large sleeping quarters for soldiers, and room for a small vehicle. All that was removed and in its place is now an entertainment area in the back, a small bedroom, and a kitchenette. The med station was retained, but all the space for weapons and soldiers was removed for more comfortable areas.
The ships systems have been completely gutted and replaced with something of Phèdre's own design. Each of the core systems has had custom built parts, chosen by her, installed with individual AI's. Each major ship system has its own personality. Life support (Aphrodite) has a motherly personality, weapons (Ares) is quick to violence, sensors is a know it all, and control (Hermes) doesn't like to be in one place for too long. A command hierarchy is in place so that certain actions can not be taken without authorization by herself, such as firing the weapons. Anything low on the list can be performed by the AI's without her having to tell them.
The final AI, and ship system worth mentioning, goes by Shade. Sort of her alter ego, he helps her monitor the other AI's and controls the custom built Oracle system. The Oracle system is her pride and joy. Oracle is a system that allows her virtually free reign in any nearby network. Any non military network can usually be easily penetrated with Oracle on its own. Military networks, especially ship and station networks, requires a more hands on approach, but is usually doable. The most secured networks, such as capitol ships and military instillation, are difficult for even her, and success is not guaranteed. Once a network is compromised, she has virtually unlimited access to anything connected to it.
Speed:
90 MGLT
Hyperdrive Rating:
Class 2
Maneuverability:
Metalocalypse was designed to fit the largest guns on as small a platform as possible, while still being able to fit in a Class 2 Hyperdrive. Designed more for Point A to Point B speed, the turning rate is extremely low, both in atmosphere and space. Phèdre is fond of referring to her ship as "her fat whale of a ship."
Description:
Lightly armored and with weak shields, Metalocalypse is your stereotypical glass cannon ship. One prototype was built, and the project scrapped before any test flights could be done. Its fate seemed to be heading towards the breakers, but due to an unforeseen computer glitch, it was instead put up for sale and bought by an anonymous buyer. There was some initial resistance to selling such a heavily armed ship to an unknown buyer, but the required forms were provided promptly, and there was nothing they could do to prevent the sale.
Once Phèdre got her paws on it she immediately sent it to a private ship construction company. She had no intention of using her new ship to carry around soldiers or weapons. She wanted a home. A kick ass space ship with big ass guns was just the sort of home for the spunky girl. When the ship was finally to her liking, she gave it the most badass name she could think of. Fixed to her specifications, and given a new name, she proceeded to install her own custom systems and decorate with lots of punkish paraphernalia.

Bunny Suit: With the help of Shade, and some engineers on the Solace of Fire, Phedre was able to modify the bodysuit of Templar armor to incorporate the Oracle system directly into it. She then proceeded to add her own special touches of color to give it a bit of flair.
