Phoenix Hawk

First introduced by the Terran Hegemony in 2568, the Phoenix Hawk was one of the most famous BattleMechs in the Inner Sphere. The 'Mech began life when Orguss Industries realized that it could reinforce the Stinger chassis to create a larger version, one with the same speed and maneuverability as the Stinger but with superior armor, firepower, and electronics. Though not without its own drawbacks, the Phoenix Hawk quickly became the standard by which all other reconnaissance 'Mechs were measured.

Originally a staple of the Star League Defense Force, Phoenix Hawks remained common within the armies of the Successor States after the fall of the Star League. At first Phoenix Hawks were grouped together to form powerful recon lances, but as they started reaching their various deployments, their full potential as command 'Mechs was discovered and many were reassigned to instead lead units of smaller recon 'Mechs. By the middle of the thirty-first century the Phoenix Hawk was still in production at factories on Keystone, New Avalon, Coventry, Jarett and Satalice. Its commonness made it an early candidate for the use of recovered lostech following the Helm Memory Core recovery, and a variety of upgraded variants were produced in time for the Clan Invasion.

When Vicore Industries began peddling its Project Phoenix concept, they had trouble even arranging a meeting with Ceres Metals about upgrading the Phoenix Hawk, until General Motors agreed to contact them on their behalf. What followed were several months of negotiations, concluding with an agreement for Ceres to build the new PXH-4L Phoenix Hawk on St. Ives in exchange for technical assistance retooling their BJ-3 Blackjack production line. The Capellan Confederation, impressed with what they saw in these new Phoenix Hawks, acquired the first run when they stepped off the production lines in late 3066 and assigned them to front-line units; their job was to work alongside RVN-4L Ravens in a support role. New variants based on this updated 'Mech soon found their way into the hands of other users, including ComStar and the Word of Blake.

Standing at 11 meters tall, the Phoenix Hawk was armed in such a way that it can be used in several different combat roles including command, reconnaissance, and front line duty. The primary weapon on board was a Harmon large laser carried in the right arm, giving the 'Mech a weapon which could strike at an enemy at a respectable distance. This was backed up by two Harmon medium lasers for close range combat, one in either forearm. Finally, to deter infantry attacks, the 'Mech carried two M100 Heavy machine guns, one in each arm, with one ton of ammunition stored in the center torso.

Eight tons of armoring on the Phoenix Hawk gave it acceptable endurance for short combat actions, though not for any sustained brawling. Just 10 single heat sinks meant the 'Mech had a relatively low heat threshold; green pilots were known to lose their 'Mechs by overtaxing this system overusing their heat-intensive weapons and jump jets. However, a GM 270 fusion engine also gave the Phoenix Hawk a good cruising speed of 64.8 km/h, and the 'Mech could go from standing still to top speed within the span of 100 meters. Six jump jets split between right and left rear torsos provided a maximum jumping distance of 180 meters. These attributes helped make the 'Mech just as fast and maneuverable as its smaller brethren, the Stinger and Wasp.

It was the Phoenix Hawk's electronics, though, which truly helped it perform best as a command 'Mech for recon lances. Its Tek Tru-Trak targeting computer was particularly accurate, while the heavily shielded Tek BattleCom system could overcome interfering radiation, whether ambient or manmade, that would've shut down other units. Unfortunately, after the fall of the Star League, the ability to reproduce these systems became lost and many units had to replace them with simpler systems, such as the Octagon Tartrac System C and Neil 6000 respectively.

Light the Way

((tw for some light body horror, general Endwalker themes, and spoiler warning for Endwalker’s story))

The once-great Pharos Sirius cut a sharp figure against the skyline of La Noscea. Far away on an isle all of its own, overtaken by corrupted aether crystals from the calamity; the building seems an unlikely place for any visitor other than an adventuring party sent to clear out corrupted sprites or ... other, stranger creatures.

But it's within this tower than Wyda Eyhafrynwyn has found herself living of late. An encampment on the upper floors, kept safe from the corrupted crystals and far from civilisation. Once a week, a supply ship sails in with food, water, whatever other supplies are needed, and a new shift of yellowjackets. The guards change every week. But the researchers remain.

Every day, she walks down the ruined staircases, gas mask strapped in place and magicked barriers projected to keep her safe from the corrupted aether. Every day, she comes to the basement, far beneath the main structure and torn open by a kobold incursion.

But the central furnace is still intact. A grand structure built to house Voidsent Bombs, the power source of the great lantern. Few think about the fact that the pharos that light the way for ships are powered by void rituals, but it remains an immutable fact even in this age of magitek advancement. Aether and tek need power sources, but a voidsent bomb simply needs the ambient aether of the air to survive. Slave labour, of a strange sort.

It may seem a strange place for her to reside. But in truth, it's perfect. It is far from civilisation, to keep others safe. And the great furnace chamber was built to keep enormous Bombs restrained. If anywhere in La Noscea is strong enough to house the thing she now studies, it's here.

She steps off the final wooden scaffold on to the basement level, and pulls off her mask. The air down here is damp and sulphuric, but it is safe to breathe. It won't taint your lungs and turn you to a crystalline zombie. The danger down here does not come from the air. Already, she feels it creeping into her bones. The deep, tainting miasma.

The guards down here don't seem to be guarding. They are singing. A bard from Gridania strums a harp, and the band of yellowjackets sing an upbeat shanty. It's necessary.

"G'morning, lass!" one calls, false cheer in his voice and eyes alight. They're only going to be here for another two days, but the anxiety is creeping in at the edges of his gaze.

Wyda smiles right back, bright and cheery, and pats the man on the shoulder. "Morning, Knodbrem. Is Totojonu already in there? He wasn't at breakfast."

The soldiers glance back and forth between one another, then nod. "Aye. He came down when our shift began. He said he couldn't sleep."

The worry is clear.

"I'll talk to him," Wyda reassures. "I've ways of persuading people to take a break." She tries her best to sound spooky, and it garners a laugh or two before she steps past the group. Pushes open the great doors with Knodbrem's help, and listens to them seal behind her.

The furnace has been retrofitted. Changed and modified to fit the thing that now resides with it. Totojonu Kokojonu of the Alchemist's Guild scurries this way and that before it, checking his notes and rummaging through glass vials. He's been here for five weeks - half the time Wyda herself has been.

And within the great furnace, chained and bound by steel and by magick, is a blasphemy. The chains were built to hold back giants, and the magicks are the same warding spells and geometries that hold Bombs in place. It seems to be working well enough for the time being. The blasphemy tugs at its restraints, ever and always, muttering things in a broken voice that shouldn't be possible.

It doesn't have a voicebox, after all.

"Good morning, Toto," Wyda calls out, but the man barely acknowledges her. She's used to it, by now. She'll tell him to take a break soon, but right now he won't listen to her. Instead, she pulls a visor from her satchel. It's Sharlayan-made, modified by Bellworks engineers. An aetherometer of a sort. The advantage of working with the Sharlayans, rather than having them ignore the plights of the world, is that she gets to use things like this. Like this, and like the soul crystal dangling on a string around her neck and the nouliths strapped to her back.

She settles the visor in place, then twists a dial on the side. It lowers over her left (and only) eye, and the lenses alight. Her vision splits into three distinct images for a moment, dizzying and disorienting, before the three images snap together in a complete picture. It leaves her nauseous, stuck with the feeling of stepping off a moving airship.

As ever, the blasphemy lacks any aetheric signature. A deep, black absence, like she's staring into a hole in the universe. Others had observed that in the first days of this calamity, and given up on aetheric observation. But Wyda is certain there is more to be found. There's something there. The naked eye can see it, but it is not aether. What, then?

"Any progress today?" Wyda asks over her shoulder, stepping closer towards the warded monstrosity. She raises her voice, calling over the constant whispers.

"Growth Formula Zeta seems to cause tissue samples to decay, but has no noticeable effect on the creature itself." Totojonu's response is short and direct, the man not looking up from his work as he peers into a microscope. "The same as every other compound we've tried."

Wyda hums, crossing her arms as she studies the void. "That's not true. It didn't like fluoroantimonic acid."

"One, it doesn't like anything, and two, nothing likes fluoroantimonic acid."

Wyda snorts a laugh. "Aye. Aye, true enough."

She steps closer, leaning in close towards the blasphemy. Two fulms away. One. She feels a prickling across her skin and her mind like static. Like running your hand across a magitek screen. Somewhere, distantly, she hears a voice. The more you cling to life, the more you shall suffer. Embrace me, and I shall grant you a gift painless and beautiful.

A shift in her aether, and one of her nouliths floats freely. It raises from her back, twisting and aligning with her will.

The thavnairians say that they believe the blasphemies are made of something called Akasa. But they have no ways of detecting such a thing, let alone discovering some way of...combating it. Curing it? Wyda doesn't know, any more. A vaccine, a cure, a weapon. She doesn't know what they're searching for here.

She twists the dial once more, her vision flickering blue-white then to a deep orange. Then once more, to the only frequency she's found that detects anything so far. A strange, monochrome view of the world.

It doesn't see everything. The bulk of the blasphemy is still shrouded in darkness, but she sees...wisps. Wisps of that same darkness, exuded by the creature. Coming from the heavens above. Lines through reality like strings she could reach out and pluck, and everywhere they strike is left in a darkness of its own like tiny pinpricks. Like rain striking dry stone.

Akasa. An energy of emotion - of despair, in this case.

She pours a little aether into her noulith. "Okay, Sin. Gently does it." A twitch of her fingers, and the glowing-bright noulith closes in until it touches the blasphemy. She watches through her visor as the field of akasa distorts and twists. The darkness of the blasphemy doesn't change, but the lines exuded by it are...blocked, or at least diverted. Aether can serve as some kind of barrier. The Scions had reported as much - that the flow of celestial aether currents determine where shall next be struck by despair. Where the flow is strong or eddies exist in the celestial currents, people are (relatively) safe. But where the flow weakens, where it stagnates, the slightest note of despair can drive people to become a sign of the end.

She pushes more aether into the noulith; pushes emotion into it, and the voice in her mind rises to a fever pitch.

sleephappily drowninthedeep shatter fade away followmyvoice

answer

Wyda jerks away, noulith twisting backwards and nearly knocking an alembic to the ground.

She breathes heavy, grabbing her visor to wrench it upwards and focusing on the taste of the sulphur-filled air. The damp, the salt from the sea.

That's always the worst part of her mornings.

She turns away, facing Totojonu, and finds him ... sitting there. He stares into space, his work ceased.

"Toto?" she prompts, stepping closer to the man. No black smoke exudes from him; no ashes.

"Aren't you worried about turning?" he asks. His voice sounds malms away, distant and barely there. "About becoming one of those things?"

His eyes meet hers, and she can see the despair there.

"They have no souls left. They're destroyed, utterly. I used to know this woman. Sosona. She was my friend. She worked at the thaumaturge's guild."

Wyda swallows. She knows this story, by now. Her first day here, she had asked how they had captured this blasphemy. Had asked who they had been. She regrets asking.

"Three were studying the Blasphemy they had captured in their catacombs, when they just ... gave up. They turned, and the blasphemy got loose, and the four killed another ten before they were put down. Sosona's husband turned. And before the despair overtook her, she asked ... to be studied. She'd been working on a cure. And this way, even with no hope left herself, she could give hope to others. She allowed her soul to be lost, for eternity. She will never be reborn."

Totojonu's grip on the desk is tight.

"How can you sit here and look at our fate without screaming?"

There is silence for long seconds, save the murmuring of the blasphemy behind her. And when they grows to be too much, Wyda steps forwards. She kneels down, and takes Totojonu Kokojonu's hands. "'Tis not my fate, my friend. It shall not be yours, either, if you but believe it." Her eye is bright, and his tiny lalafell hands both fit between hers with no effort at all. "I shall not die, for as long as there exists something in this world that gives me purpose. Simply pick a reason to live, and follow it to whatever end."

She stays there, kneeling before him, until his breathing grows steadier. Until his eyes refocus. Until the pall of despair hanging over the room grows lighter.

"Do you feel better?" she asks, gently.

"No." A sardonic smile crosses the man's face. "But I don't feel worse. Thank you."

Wyda snorts. "You know, I'll accept that. I've had worse reviews of my bedside manner." She pats the man's hands as she climbs back to her feet, wincing a little. The ground here is hard and uneven, and a pebble had been digging into her knee that whole time.

She turns back to face the blasphemy once more, lowering her visor over her eye to see the lines of akasa that soak through the world.

"Get some rest. I'll ask the guilds to send out someone to relieve you for a while. You deserve a chance to get away from here." She says it gently. After five weeks, she can see the cracks showing in him. She dares not look at him with the visor in place. He deserves to rest.

"Alright." He sighs, and hops down from the chair he'd been sitting at. She hears his feet hit the ground, and senses his presence moving through the room. She senses him stop. "... What keeps you going?"

"Hm?" Wyda pulses aether, spinning all four nouliths from their places and aligning them around her like extra limbs. She watches the crystals fade slightly as they pass through the lines of akasa.

"You said that something gives you purpose. That you picked a reason to live that you'll follow." His voice is tentative, but she can feel the edges of hope in it.

"Me?" A laugh, light and melodious. "That's simple enough."

She focuses her aether, and four aetheric beams lance outwards from her nouliths. They strike a part of the blasphemy's torso, cutting it open and revealing further darkness within. They twist and rotate, a chirurgeon's tools in her hands, until a slab of not-meat falls to the floor with a dull sound. Not quite a splat.

"There's always more to learn."

She hears Totojonu leave, even as the blasphemy's mutterings rise to screams.

"no cure

no cure

NO CURE"

If any answer lies here, then she'll find it.

It's okay, she tells herself. 

They don't have souls.

How Pond Heater Keep Your Pond Ecosystem Healthy in Cold Weather?

In regions with colder climates, using an aquarium heater to maintain your pond’s ecosystem is often beneficial. Pond heater warm water to stop it freezing entirely — something fish and plants rely upon for survival — thus helping ensure oxygen levels do not decrease too dramatically and creating hazardous environments for aquatic creatures such as koi fish, among other aquatic inhabitants. An aquarium heater encourages gas exchange through creating an area free from ice for gas exchange, helping prevent stress caused by extreme cold. It will ensure your pond remains healthy even during its coldest winter months!

Heating Your Pond Cheaply

There is an affordable way to heat your Pond Heater that doesn’t break the bank: using low-wattage, energy efficient pond heaters which use solar or renewable power can keep water temperatures constant without driving up energy costs, windbreaks or covers can reduce heat loss, helping the water retain warmth naturally as windbreaks do — while aerators circulate water thus decreasing need for constant heating of the water surface. Employing these methods together will allow you to heat your pond affordably while simultaneously supporting aquatic life health throughout its existence!

Do Pond Fish Need a Heater?

Although many pond fish, such as koi or goldfish, can tolerate cold temperatures without succumbing to stress or illness in cold conditions, having a heater ensures your pond doesn’t freeze completely, potentially trapping harmful gases under its surface and decreasing oxygen levels significantly. Dormancy often kicks in at colder water temps but extreme cold can still create stress or illness for fish; by providing an ambient temperature range via heating your pond heater you are providing more comfortable conditions for them while providing peace of mind — especially if your delicate species or conditions become intense!

How Long Can Fish Survive Without Heat?

Fish have the capacity to survive long without additional heat sources as long as their oxygen levels stay consistent and dormancy does not set in when temperatures drop, giving koi species some form of dormancy for sustenance during periods when oxygen and food supplies decrease significantly. When temperatures get extremely cold though, survival becomes harder without an effective pond heater to prevent freezing of water surfaces as freezing blocks gas exchange between its cells which results in build-ups of harmful toxins threatening fish survival over winter time — prolonging survival while giving winter conditions necessary for life support from its inhabitants!
