…so here’s how Kamea Arano became Clan Diamond Shark’s first Rimward HPG customer…

Operation CALIBURN report, April 3026:
No idea who's dumber. Yang Virtanen, for thinking that a few collapsed tunnels would keep the Taurians out of Castle Nautilus...or the Taurians, for being kept out of a Castle Goddamn Brian by a few easily excavated tunnel collapses.
Well, actually, we know what happened to Sam Ostergaard, so we know who's dumber. (It's the guy who got taken out by a computer virus because he couldn't keep his unit together and had shit infosec on his Overlord.)
But, anyway, initial survey report is...I'm no tech, but hooooooooo boy, we're swimming in lostech, here. The Royal Guard's new 'Mechs are going to have a lot of friends once we're done here.

Thank you @lobo-inu and @kiir-do-faal-rahhe for tagging me in WIP Wednesday. I've taken a break from Epistle & Elegy this week to write Sujamma The Nix Hound's Big Day Out!

I want to say thank you to so many of you who have had such kind things to say about Sujamma, especially those of you who have drawn him. He's become something of a therapeutic device to me these past few days; some of you know this, but one of my best friends passed away suddenly and unexpectedly yesterday. It meant a lot to get on here last night and read everyone's Sujamma Sundas posts, it made me smile and that's been really difficult.
I'm tagging @fangsandsoftgrass @hadvarandralof @rambles-about-some-scrolls @moogaiashe and @cryinngcat <3
"Yep yep!" He agrees. Sujamma likes Cindiri. When he visists the manor, she always gives him cheese. He likes Arano too. Once, Arano gave him a big pointy hat from Morrowind. He wore it to his birthday party! Everyone loved his hat so much. Everyone who saw him wearing it had a big smile!
Soon Cindiri returns with a small white cake, the numbers 2-1-0 written in icing on top. She places it in a box and straps it on Sujamma’s pack-pack.
“Is Teldryn turning 210, Sujamma?” She asks.
“Nope nope!” He orps. His Best Friend is way older than that! Cindiri laughs and pets his head. Sujamma likes it when people laugh. It means they’re happy. He likes making people happy.
“Very well then, be on your way. Tell Teldryn happy… whatever it may be from the Councilor.”
“Yep yep,” He agrees, and sets off to the next destination on his Do Not Forget List. Admittedly, he pauses for a moment to get cuddles from Milore and Garyn, who send him away with a pot of ash hopper jelly for his time. Good thing! Sujamma forgot to pack a snack, and Squid Friend’s house is really far away. He might have had to eat the cake!
“There’s my favorite buddy. I’ve got it all ready for you,” Glove says as Sujamma approaches the forge. Sujamma had managed to scribble out a drawing of an amulet for Glove last week. He can’t resist doing a happy little hop when he sees the finished result. His Best Friend is going to love it! It perfectly matches his favorite ring. He pulls a satchel of gold from his pack-pack and tries to give it to Glove, who waves the payment away.
“Don’t worry about it bud. Teldryn left me a good tip on that sword I smithed him,” He says. “Actually got somethin’ for you too, Teldryn’ll hate me for it but thought it’d be cute if you were matching.”
Glove slips a tiny gold ring onto Sujamma’s left mandible — it’s a little star! Just like Sujamma! He’ll have to show Star Friend, she’ll love it.
“Thanks Thanks!” Sujamma orps happily. Glove goes in for a hug and Sujamma obliges. Glove is very big and very warm, even though he is a Breton. Most Bretons are small. Sujamma still likes hugging them, but big bear hugs are his favorite.
“Well, if it isn’t my little book thief,” A familiar and perpetually annoyed voice says from behind them. “Has he come to eat your swords, Mallory?”
Sujamma feels very sad when he sees Neloth. Neloth doesn’t like Sujamma very much, on account of one time Sujamma ate a very important book of his. Sujamma doesn’t usually eat books, but this book asked him to eat it! How was he supposed to know that Squid Friend was tricking him? He is only five years old! He is a baby!
Neloth observes Sujamma with a critical expression. Sujamma doesn’t like this; he likes when people observe him with friendly or loving expressions. Usually that means he’s going to get a hug.
“I don’t know what possessed me to give such a stupid creature intelligent thought,” Neloth mumbles to himself. He pokes Sujamma in his big orange eye - ouch! That really hurt! He thinks about biting Neloth, but his Best Friend told him that violence isn’t the answer, so instead he just curls up into a little Sujamma-ball and puts his feets over his eyes. Poor Sujamma!

Arano Royal Guard
Good old House Arano from the Battletech videogame by HBS. Go play it right now if you haven't yet, it's a masterpiece turn-based strategy game even if you're not specifically a BT fan.
These minis came from the Alpha Strike box. I'd already done up the IS assault mechs in blue for the "Kestrel's Lament" post so I wanted to do the remaining scout lance in red for contrast.






Extra focus on the bases here. Blue team had rivers/marsh beneath so red gets lava rocks and magma.
It's some rubble flocking painted over with Night Scales metallic black. THIS is how it's supposed to look! Glitters of blues/greens/whites in with the black. Fittingly makes it look like magnetite here. The glitters barely showed at all on the Black Marauder. Maybe because that was painted over a black basecoat? Here it went on raw over un-primed brown gravel and turned out great.
Next I painted white in the gaps, then filled that in with water medium mixed with orange ink.


One more lineup from down low, like they're coming over a ridge. It's easy to forget what mechs might look like coming head-on when we're always looking down on the minis from above.
Also screw whoever made the Wraith's short designation "TR#". I guess "WTH" wouldn't go over well haha. But TR? For what, Troll?



WIPs here. Steps taken: -Platemail silver primer -Blood Red speedpaint -Gold/Night Scales highlights -Dark Tone wash (Only necessary over the non-speedpaints) -Blue, then watered-down white in jumpjets -Matte white, then inks on cockpits and lasers -Glued base flocking then prepared as mentioned above -Gloss varnish (extra heavy on cockpits/lasers)
Next for the remaining clan star, they're primed in black, I figure the classic bad guys of Smoke Jaguar should be a good opponent.
Mechwarrior 3 was my introduction to the franchise. "Die, Clanner!"

Follow up to our two hearts meeting
———
Nerevar: *walking beside Kaidan at the head of the group, smiling down at Riiju-Lei as he sleeps peacefully in his arms* so he has a family back in whiterun then yes?
Kaidan: *carrying an unconscious and still injured miraak on his back* aye, five kids he adopted.
Nerevar: Five?! Gods the house must be crowded!
Taliesin: hm not really, it’s quite a big house though I would like to be able to use the bathroom without being interrupted every 10 seconds. *sighs* but alas. I think he likes how lively the house is with all of us around. He’s been on his own for some time after his parents passed on.
Nerevar: That reminds me I… id like to visit their graves when we get back to windhelm. *covers Riiju with his cape as the ash near the bulwark kicks up*
Kaidan: *hands busy carrying miraak, sneezes as the ash blows up his nose* ugh focking mountain- I- why do you want to visit his parents?
Nerevar: to thank them for keeping him safe. *walks ahead of them and into the wretching netch*
Kaidan: jeez he’s really in love isn’t he?
Xelzaz: I think they both are. Though the dunmer highly revere the dead, I think he’d wish to grant them honours for giving his past love a new chance at life.
Taliesin: Aw… that’s, very sweet actually.
Xelzaz: it is- now are you two going to help me heal him or are we just going to let him die on Kaidans back? *gestures to miraak*
Miraak: *groans*
Kaidan: oh yeah we’d better not let him die. Pffft, asshole doesn’t deserve to live anyway in my opinion.
Lucien: yes well Leilei wants him to. I’ll go get us some rooms.
Inigo: first round of drinks is on me!
Sero: Ah no serjo I’m a man of my word and I lost that game of cards fair and square! I’ll pay for the first round… then you can pay for all the others.
Inigo: hehehe~
*meanwhile inside*
Nerevar: *gently lays Riiju onto the large warm bed of the cosy room he’d ordered for the two of them* Vor- *pauses* heh, old habits. *gently nudges him* Leilei, wake up… I’m going to take your armour off so you can sleep comfortably…
Riiju-Lei: *shifts slightly, a warm smile still on his face as he blinks open all 3 eyes… only to suddenly pout and rub his forehead* why do I still have this thing?… the rest of my body went back to normal why’d this stick around?…
Nerevar: *smiles watching him sulk, just like he used to when he was over tired* I’m not sure, perhaps a reminder from the past but. I think it’s as beautiful as your other two.
Riiju-Lei: *visibly blushes and looks away feeling shy and not knowing how to deal with it* r-really?…
Nerevar: yes, really. *smiles stroking his cheek* may I undress you now? your armour doesn’t look very comfortable to rest in.
Riiju-Lei: I-I- n-no I I’ll- let me- oh gods how did I do this for the temple of dibella with a straight face?!
Nerevar: oh~? *quirks his brow* now that’s a story Id like to hear~
Riiju-Lei: I- *swallows a lump in his throat, trying to comprehend all these new sensations and feelings within himself* it… it’d be easier if I show you… w-would you?… like me to?…
Nerevar: … *gently holds his hand* only if you want to show me…
Riiju-Lei: *knowing they’ve technically only just met that day, but feeling a love burning inside of him that’s lasted for hundreds of years* … *sits upright and leans in close to him, their movements both marching in pace and distance, like they’d done this before* I want to show you I love you…
Nerevar: *blue eyes locked firmly onto his, both of them sparkling like rubies and sapphires in the candlelight* then do it so I may show my love for you too…
Riiju-Lei: *leans in close kissing him softly*
Nerevar: *gladly reciprocates*
*the next morning*
Kaidan: *wanders to the bar to order himself and Taliesin breakfast* oh good morning councillor Arano-
Adril Arano: I- oh forgive me- Kaidan correct? Please it’s urgent! We got news lord nerevar returned last night but nobody can find him! We fear for his safety-
Kaidan: oh nerevar, he’s-
Nerevar: *suddenly steps out of his and Lelei’s room only in a pair of trousers, hair a mess, and a look of bliss on his face, totally unaware of the hickies absolutely riddled across his torso* Ah, councillor, good morning. Oh good morning Kaidan!
Kaidan: *face going pink as he tries to hide his shit eating grin* fun night ay?
Nerevar: oh- Oh yes~. *smiles walking off to the bathhouse*

on the one hand, I want to ask Ray Arrastia why he's got a problem with the main faction of the game that sparked BattleTech's renaissance, like, that's deeply fucking weird, man
on the other, I don't want to encourage him to actually make it canon that they were dead before the Fourth Succession War rather than just stating his headcanons as fact with his little Pope Hat on

🔵🔴💛💚🎖️🛸
for the BT ask game
( @is-the-battlemech-cool-or-not )
🔵 What factions (that you do not belong to) do you respect? Why?
This is a tough one, given recent events. A few weeks ago, I'd have said the Canopians.
Then we got the MIM's report on us. It's very...creative. Actually, no, it's totally detached from any sort of reality. I'd expect Taurian intelligence (HA!) to come up with that, not them. Especially the part where Lady Arano's no different from Santiago Espinosa because she's not letting those little "the Directorate will rise again" clubs exist. Yeah, that's totally the same as a guy who thought Stefan Amaris's human rights violation record was a challenge.
With that in mind...it's still the Canopians. This MIM blunder is, so far, a tiny blip of bad compared to them bankrolling the Restoration and being the only one of our neighbors not to try to invade us at some point (yet).
đź”´ What factions (that you do not belong to) do you disrespect? Why?
I probably don't have to explain the average Aurigan's beef with the Concordat, or why we're so damn smug about doing to them what they did to the Star League (and, to any Taurians reading this, we'll do it again).
The Capellans are...well, they're a Great House. And they've got a border with us. Disrespecting them just comes with the (literal) territory. Plus, they're probably where Espinosa got a lot of ideas.
I don't much like the FedRats, either. I was reasonably neutral on the Lyrans, but now they're pushing toward being one big happy family. That's going to suck for everyone.
đź’› What do you currently pilot?
A Marauder. Stock MAD-3R, but I'm getting very tempted by the Nautilus lostech right now. I'm definitely trading up to double sinks and CASE once they clear those for use, and I've got my eye on an LB-10X in there, maybe some of the pulse lasers if they can squeeze some in. Probably upgrading to ferro-fibrous, too.
CALIBURN is probably going to be a very "use it or lose it" program.
đź’š What do techs usually complain about with your piloting?
Given that my AC ammo tends to go missing before I hit the field, it's probably heat management.
🎖️Have you been awarded any medals or commendations, and if so, what were they awarded for?
My service during the Restoration earned me a Medal of Valor and got me kicked up into the Royal Guard (with that sweet red paint job on my Marauder and first pick of lostech from Nautilus once we get everything catalogued).
�� Is there a "canon rumor" theory (e.g. hyperspace weirdness, aliens, Phantom 'Mech Ability, time travel, alternate universes, the Lost Cameron) that you believe in? Or perhaps have experienced?
Any good Aurigan knows that the Minnesota Tribe came either here or somewhere nearby. Merope, Vandenberg, Dobrev, it all points pretty clearly to them coming this way after Richmond.
I've never seen aliens, but I've heard things from Deep Periphery traders, and saying there's no aliens is like scooping up a glass of water out of a lake and saying that, since there's no fish in the glass, there's no fish in the entire lake. You could be right, but then what the hell splashed over there?
I've seen way too many shots go wide somehow when the weapon's literally touching its target to not believe there's something to this Phantom 'Mech thing.

For the ask game:
🔵🔴🟠🟣💛💳💰🌼🔫🛸
( via @is-the-battlemech-cool-or-not )
Draggin in Ags to answer these with me, sinca ya didnt specify and i feel like annoyin her
🔵 What factions (that you do not belong to) do you respect? Why?
R: I respect the fuck outta House Arano. They were my first employers, and Lady Arano was as fine a leader as a monarch could ever be- and I don't mean that as an insult like i usually do . She treated us right and made sure we not only got paid well but were rewarded for shinin' in the field.
A: I fought briefly alongside the 2nd Sword of Light before I left the DCMS. They were consumate professionals and were gracious enough to teach me some of the old tricks they used to keep up with the SLDF Gunslingers.
đź”´ What factions (that you do not belong to) do you disrespect? Why?
R: Fuck the Marian Hegemony. I aint elaboratin.
A: Forgive Rowan, her past from before she joined the company isn't something she enjoys speaking on.
As for myself, I hold no respect for the Clans... of my time, Rowan insists I add. The Clans of today... The jury is out until I get back home to Rasalhague.
đźź Is there an extinct faction you wish to see brought back in some form? Why?
R: The St. Ives Compact. I fought like hell to help Candace get them off the ground, and I aint gonna lie it hurts a bit that they didn't last.
A: The Free Rasalhague Republic. And I aim to see it happen in my lifetime.
🟣 What are your top 3 favorite planets you have visited, if you have visited multiple worlds?
R: sure, firstly is Canopus- 's where i got my tits, 'nuff said. Zwei? Gonna say Herotitus. The 'Knights based outta there for a while after the Arano Restoration, and its where i'd say i really went from being a regular mechjock to someone with a real modicum of talent. More importantly, its where i picked up a good bit of periphery merc culture and pride. Three, is Coromodir. Aside from being a beautiful planet, its where I made 'mech ace of aces in a single day. I've also got a *lot* of good memories there celebratin' our victory with Fursona's Fusiliers. Just ask @is-the-battlemech-cool-or-not
A: To engage with the spirit of the question, I will leave out Rasalhague's worlds. The deserts of Vega are beautiful, in a harsh and unforgiving way. Solaris is a thrill, and I'd like to return one day to compete again. Lastly, Terra herself. All that there is to love in the galaxy can be found in some manner on Terra. Also, she has the most beautiful moon in the universe.
đź’› What do you currently pilot?
R: Haters will call it a frankenmech, but I call it a sweet fuckin' rig. These Boots is a Marauder MAD-3D at base, but one of her arms were shot off and replaced with a Mad Cat's, another with... some other clan mech? I honestly don't know. She's got TSM, a supercharger, and enough jump juice to help me live up to my callsign Kingfisher. Also, talons baybe!
A: I pilot a Highlander HGN-732, with many parts upgrades to bring it closer in line with the -732b. It's name is Deadeye Dancer, and it lives up to it.
đź’ł If you are/were a mercenary, who is/was your most and least favorite client?
R: I'd say House Arano, but honestly... It's whatever little two-bit periphery settlement that needs to fend off pirate or dipshit vulture lord raids, and barely have the cash to pay for the scorched armor. If i could somehow keep my company going, only working for them, I would do so with zero regrets.
A: Back in 30...30? We took a contract in the Taurian Concordat, and I did not expect to enjoy my time working with them as much as I did. They are consummate professionals, and will give you wild discounts on equipment if you promise to kill some Davions with it.
đź’°What was your dumbest and/or smartest purchase?
R: I once bought an industrial mech on a dare- bet a prick on Solaris that I could win about in the Class Six arena with one. I came in second, which still was a lost bet. And there went *way* too many C-Bills... For my best purchase? An old "pile of junk" Shadow Hawk SHD-2H. Turns out, someone way back when put in some aftermarket upgrades, and we ended up pulling an LB-10X and a few Freezers out of it. A pretty Big Fuckin' Deal for 3027.
A: I once got a.... very unfortunate tattoo while out drinking with the other officers of the unit on Canopus. My best purchase was bottle of genuine tequila from Terra that I managed to expense to Hanse Davion's personal bank account. Though, I do suppose that means I was not the one who purchased it.
🌼 For Inner Sphere characters, what do you think of the Clans, in whole or in part?
R: Spoke with Melissa about this, but long story short? The Clans were awful ugly before I misjumped, but Melissa promises me they've mellowed out and are getting better, and I trust her. Still gonna have some biases, though, so please do call me out on them when you see it.
A: The last I saw of my homeworld, we were retreating after Clan Wolf invaded. It is a moment etched into my heart in fire. The continued occupation of my people is a matter I will address to my own personal satisfaction. But the SLDF we have encountered thus far have been surprisingly tolerable. I find myself willing to give the benefit of the doubt, with the express exception to those whom occupy the free people of Rasalhague.
🔫 If you can fight in non-vehicular combat, what weapons do you favor?
R: You can't go wrong with a bog-standard ballistic assault rifle of any era. Well, you can- they're kinda shit compared to some of what else is out there. But I love them for it. They're like the Urbanmech of small arms.
A: I favor submachine guns, but I prefer to fight only long enough to get to a mech or a tank.
🛸 Is there a "canon rumor" theory (e.g. hyperspace weirdness, aliens, Phantom 'Mech Ability, time travel, alternate universes, the Lost Cameron) that you believe in? Or perhaps have experienced?
R: it's ridiculous, really, but there's this rumor goin' around that I fucked The Last Cameron- [MUFFLED THUDS]
A: No. Bad Rowan.
As for myself, I have seen the Phantom Mech phenomenon in action. I fought alongside Yorinaga Kurita in several skirmishes, and whatever boon or curse he bears... It is real.

naelia arrives on solstheim and is immediately in a much better mood despite having second councilor arano and the entirety of the redoran guard being suspicious of her, simply because it’s easier to play to the social rules of house redoran than it was fumbling through every interaction with the nords

Writing WIP Wednesday (11/15)
For a future chapter of Out of the Ashes
@dirty-bosmer @gwilin-stay-winnin @mareenavee @skyrim-forever @thana-topsy @thechaosdragoness @thequeenofthewinter
Miranja was spending a rare idle moment in her room, trying to write a song for Revyn Sadri. She’d never attempted to write a song of her own, and while she knew what she wanted to say, finding the right tune was frustrating her. She was about to just hang it up for a while and let it brew in her mind some more, when Argis knocked at the door.
"Come on in," she called.
Argis poked his head in. “Second Councilor Arano is here to see you.”
Miranja frowned. “Strange for him to come calling unannounced,” she mused aloud. “Send him down, please, Argis.” She put her lute back on its cradle and checked herself in her full-length mirror, then started toward the door, which Argis had left ajar.
Adril knocked softly and pushed the door the rest of the way open, and Miranja met him with a warm hug when he entered.
“Adril, what a pleasant surprise to see you! How are you and Cindiri, love?”
“We are quite well, Miss Miranja, quite well. Thank you for asking.” Even after numerous dinners at her house, the stiff, formal, awkward Adril still hadn’t quite gotten used to Miranja’s physical way of showing affection. She never did it in public, but it still embarrassed him a little. His face was dark when she released him.
"What brings you here, my friend?" She indicated a chair at the table, and they sat down together. "May I offer you a drink?"
Adril seemed uncomfortable. "No, thank you. This... isn't exactly a social visit, but it is of a personal nature. I'm afraid it's rather awkward, but... I feel I would be remiss in my duties as second councilor and as Lleril's friend if I didn't speak to you about this."
Miranja was mystified. "Okay...? Just spit it out, Adril. This is me."
"Well, Lleril has been here in Raven Rock for a long time. You may not be aware, but his wife passed away a few years after he took his position here as councilor. He's never remarried, and he's never even had a romance with another woman since then. He's focused all his energies into being the best leader he can for Raven Rock." Miranja was starting to understand where this was going, and couldn't help but think what an amazing wingman Adril was to Lleril.
