What If SOLFED Was AC6 Canon? by Tempestuous (So_Tempestuous)
Fandoms: Armored Core (Video Games)
25 Apr 2024

Summary
What Armored Core 6 the game might have looked like if canon was close enough to Into the Grace as to make the latter barely qualify for the canon divergence tag, as seen through wiki articles on/fan discussions of such a game. For example: what would this hypothetical game's third route look like were I given free reign to write it?
May contain metatextual silliness and self-indulgence.

Summary
Not all candidates graduate from mech pilot training. The engineer is one such person. Her job is to access the mechs of other pilots for post-combat analysis. She is good at her job. She tells herself that it is enough.
But when someone interfaces with a machine as sophisticated as a war mech, there is an increasing risk of neural bleed.

Summary
Calliope Mondegrene has always felt like a bit of an alien among her fellow humans. A nerdy self-proclaimed loser sleepwalking through life in a Bostonian triplex, her introversion seems to be boundless, to the point where it leads her to avoid social interaction at the parties she's forced to attend--by getting really, really, high.
Too high, it turns out, when she sees--and is seen by--something beyond her understanding that, for some unfathomable reason, takes an interest in her sad little life.
