thank you! I'm still really happy with this one.

hehe thank you! I had a blast with all of the entity's tendrils and funkiness, and Crusader used to be so smooth lol

"I don’t think they’d like to know what its been up with it these days.

Shame what happened to the rest of its fleet though. All found dead, but strangely not its own pilot.

Either way I hope that it doesn’t come back."

"The use of hard light wings gave us enough info to look into it.

It seems to have been a Nova mech, one of those piloted ones out in space trying to stop a cosmic entity from eating our star. A Shrike class machine went missing a while ago, named ‘Crusader’.-

"Instead of exposed wiring was a writhing mass of tendrils and arms. It must be looking to repair itself.

I sent the girls after it and while they chased it off, they said once it got into the open sky it was far too fast to keep up with and got lost in a cloud of black.-

"We finally saw what’s been raiding our scrapyard recently. Usually, it’s a group trying to steal some junk. This time, it was a single, large rogue mech but I’ve never seen something like this. We’re not experts here but whatever is wrong with it is not natural.-

"The Shrike has been given the call sign ‘Crusader’.

With Pilot [REDACTED] and Crusader now spearing the way through I believe we can finally contain the Entity in time.

Star Lieutenant [REDACTED], off."

"-he is comfortable with the machine. The battle today looked like a loss until Pilot [REDACTED] managed to push XR-208-04 above and beyond to break through several limbs of the Entity. This proved to be enough of a distraction and allowed us to capture and dispel a large amount of tainted space.

"LOG 454 21:30 3/14/XXXX END REPORT:
I believe we may have a breakthrough here. The new Shrike class mech XR-208-4 has looked promising on paper and is no different in practice. We felt confident after Pilot [REDACTED]’s training and first few scenes of battle but now we can say that-
