break_the_nineEthermaster Drone: A copy of Leos' Frightener AC with all the capabilities it had, unhindered by the limit of a human pilot. Controlled by an AI based off of Leos post Nineball but prior to his temporary rejoining of the Unity Group. Is ruthless in fighting style and will pull unexpected tricks in combat.
Pale Rider Drone: A copy of Leos AC during his time in the Unity Group in its final iteration. Unhindered by the limit of a human pilot. Controlled by an AI based off of Leos during his Unity Group days prior to the defeat of Nineball. Is reckless and surprisingly vicious in fighting style. It will pull punches against pilots/mecha it recognizes.
Phobos: In addition to being a martian moon being sent hurtling towards the Earth it is essentially chock full of weapons and drone construction facilities. Meaning that it can literally spew out firepower and armies like nobody's business - making getting to it a difficult prospect. Essentially this is to make it the reason why only the Unity Group was able to break through. Additionally the entrance to get into the interior of the moon facility is a Skull Fortress with laser cannons in the eye holes. Leos never really did let go of that fixation.
Disorder Units: The Drones that Phobos spits out with frightening regularity. Variants are as below:
Zikade: Slow moving but numerous. Armed with laser shotguns mounted to its body. Size S.
Sauterelle: Reverse Jointed humanoid type. Seven Beam Weapons in total scattered across its body. Primarily found on the surface of Phobos, adding their firepower to that of the gun emplacements as they have no thruster capability. Size M.
Predicator: Humanoid Type. Weapon arms function as both beam shotguns and beam sabers. Extremely powerful boosters allow it rapid movement, its frame however is rather fragile.
Luciole: Uncommon Non-Humanoid Type. The Lower Body is equipped with machineguns, the flight units contain high explosive bombardment cannons, and it has a missile launcher located on the central body.
A THING THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE DONE
Hustler Two: A newcomer to the Raven's Nest who joined up some months after the destruction of Nineball Seraph. Not the best of pilots at all. He claims very loudly to be the son of Hustler One - the pilot of the AC Nineball. Of course given his skills and the fact that the Unity Group knows the truth about Nineball this is positively ridiculous...
Except... it actually isn't... after all... given the existence of Elizabeth Butler, it isn't too far from reality that an AI is capable of creating progeny.
Hustler Two was created as an emergency protocol in the event of the destruction of Hustler One's mainframe. While maintaining his cover, Hustler Two's primary objective was to essentially collect data on the Corporations, Raven's Nest and other groups of interest while doing his best to rebuild his 'parent'.
Whether or not his incompetence in combat is an act or was deliberately programmed into him to assist in the illusion is hard to say.
Hustler Two, along with its Resurrected Progenitor Program (In an upgraded Seraph body) make a reappearance in Leos' grand finale once the Unity Group have him on the ropes. Seeking to hijack Phobos for their own needs and possibly have been manipulating Leos the whole time. They may or may not be accompanied by Shadow Mirrors and other like minded individuals.
Once they are defeated though, the scenario regarding the system keeping Phobos in one piece plays as normal.
(Mentions of him may happen from time to time after the destruction of Nineball. He may possibly turn up on a random mission or two and get his butt kicked and flee. But in essence his presence means Nineball Seraph will turn up in Leos' grand finale.)
