#like river is a piloting zero mechwarrior. you need to know that. they cut her brain open and gave her 1337 h4x0r sk1llz

trying to figure out how far the FedSuns newtype project (for want of a better term) got in the Firefly BattleTech AU

like, we’ve got River, we’ve got Early (dollar store River in terms of enhancement), they gave Early a proper SLDF Spector precisely because getting River back is that vital

so basically I’m gonna go with “failure but if they can crack River’s head open to see what went right with her, they might find a way to reproduce the Phantom ‘Mech Ability and other woo-woo shit”
