I was thinking more like the Jaeger from Pacific Rim but sure.

Technically, they're Jaegers. That just irritated me. For example, Crimson Typhoon and Striker Eureka were both Jaegers as prt of the Jaeger program.
Oh the other hand, I'm probably going to be up all night coding without caffiene.

Are you trying to correct a Wehraboo about the correct pronunciation of a 'German' word? :eyebrow:

I was going to say, Ulv, I think I'd gladly upset any Wehraboo just for the sake of seeing their reactions.

I'm always in trouble, even my new manager has agreed that even though I'm on my way to becoming one of the youngest managers in our chain, I somehow have that ability to put myself in trouble more times than not. I'm like that loose cannon you see in all the shows whom somehow has remained in a position of power and even succeeds at progressing up the ranks in spite of how often he fucks up because he actually does improve and he actually is a decent person at what he does.

I'd say the same principle pretty much dictates how I am here on NS in every RP. I tend to get on the bad side of select people easily, but I do it because it just shows how much I appreciate them and their willingness to care about what I do! ^^

As for you Ulv, I doubt you're in any trouble anyways. Mon's pretty lenient and decent given just how much they put up with coming from me alone.

She's sort of become my identity on this site, so in a way, you kind of do have her as a friend. :p

Nanites are important for piloting VALK's but it can be done without them. Doing so places great strain on the pilot and hampers their reaction time and the variety of systems they can use. I think.

Yes, that's why the old method was using two people in one VALK. Kind of like how in an F-15E you have the pilot and the WSO.

Pretty much, so when someone says Proteus has VALKs, nine times out of ten they're being piloted by two people rather than one adolescent due to the difficulty of obtaining UN controlled nanite technology. However that being said there are a few... exceptions.

Given Proteus' apparently extremely wealthy and powerful backers, why would they not have access to nanotech? At least stolen nanotech, so they could begin manufacturing their own. I mean, they're fielding far more VALK's than GAMA seem to be able to, so clearly the have all the people and industry they would need to do so.

The very nature of their operations negate any chances for a long-term research or development station or any sort of infrastructure at all. Proteus can essentially be considered as an evil Rebellion. They have their villainous Inquiitors which are pseudo VALKyries built especially for the purpose of taking on GAMA's VALKyries and GHOST Operatives. They're exceptionally good.

However, it doesn't matter how many powerful backers you have if ultimately you're self-destructive in your beliefs and ethics. That's the issue with Proteus in that their own clergy and foot soldiers more often than not are either their downscaled VALKs or the Infection itself.

Seems to me that an organization that's dedicated to infecting the world with a virus would have a significant R&D budget, and the accompanying facilities and equipment. And they fielded 40 VALK's at Cape Town - as a false flag; to wear down the GAMA VALKyries so that their Inquisitors would have a better chance at finishing them off. Anyone who's able to manufacture vast quantities of a catastrophically damaging biological weapon, and field the largest quantities of VALK's of all those organizations using them, has got a hefty research and industrial base. I don't see why they wouldn't also invest some of their efforts in nanotechnology.

Proteus is less "evil Rebellion" and more "Umbrella with mecha".
