Timeline of 77 Frigga.

December 2007. Ford Sierra discovers a block of solid handwavium in a Chicago Junkyard.

Jet's first Handwavium project. Zoom-Zoom Bang occurs while racing to catch a ferry in North Wales. His car runs low on oil after hours of high-speed running. Handwavium is used as an emergency substitute. The resulting machine achieves admirable fuel economy, but refuses to ever start within ten minutes of being stopped and spits fire through the tailpipes. Its distinguishing feature is a Tachikoma on the dash wired up to a Radar detector/Laser jammer.



Jan-Apr 2008. Ford's initial experiments come to a head when she uses her 'wave strain to repair an old Volkswagen beetle, making the mistake of telling the owner she used 'Magic'. A week and one burned down building later she's gotten her own RS500 Cosworth waved, and is trying to find somewhere to hide the rest when the local PD tries to pull her over for speeding. Ford panics, leads them on a high speed pursuit, before jumping her car off the 59th street bridge at high speed.

Ford now wanted by Chicago authorities for speeding, fleeing from lawful arrest and air traffic violations.

Late Apr 2008. Ford is one of the first to live at Marsbase Sara, even before it's named Marsbase Sara. She sets up her own workshop using a tanker truck as an apartment, and starts a vehicle recovery business.

Jet is on a slow burn, after the ructions caused by a high speed run across the UK the year previously. Zoom-Zoom Bang is garaged. He keeps his head down to avoid being associated with the mess, focusing on college instead.

Late 2008: Accident costs Ford an arm and a leg, and her hearing. Ford gets her initial cybernetic replacements.


November 2009. The man who would become Jet Jaguar completes a batchelor's in Mechatronics. And promptly ends up unemployed due to the deepening recession in his homeland. Joins the committee for a local anime convention. Athacon


March 2010: Jet gets a job working for Wright Stuff Mechatronics. Doesn't realise the phone he receives is actually a Wright Phone tied in to an AI.


Apr 2010: SS Ciara Purchased by Athacon Committee using funding for the next Convention. Refitting the old patrol ship for spaceflight commences


November 2010: SS Ciara launches. Jet stays behind to work on his own plans.


December 2010: Jet arrested and released for offences related to the SS Ciara. A file is sent to the DPP but nothing comes of it for months.


March 2011: Jet's first hardsuit prototype completed. It quirks to a female form but is otherwise apparently functional. The wavemix used is stored in old beer bottles.


Apr 2011: Using a Wright Phone as the core of the Second Hardsuit results in a corruption of the project. It's dismantled. The phone is reported 'lost'


Jun 2011: Jet builds a railgun in his shed, from a box of scraps. It shoots at about 50kJ


Summer 2011: Ford spends time on the Marsbase Sara city council. Her mechanic's shop becomes a nice little earner.


October 26th 2011: Jet drunkenly mistakes one of the bottles containing hardsuit handwavium for a regular beer bottle and drinks it. Stunned, he staggers down to his shed where the original hardsuit awaits.


October 27th 2011: Jet Jaguar awakens to discover the full depth of his mistake. He has bonded himself to his hardsuit. Jet's first flight in atmosphere.


December 2011: Jet takes the name 'Jet Jaguar' for the first time. It's the first thing to come to mind when pressed for one, and he would rather his friends not find out what he's done. Arthur figures out that the mysterious hardsuited figure flying around Dublin city was once one of his employees. He dials Jet's personal phone number, which connects him directly to the iPhone now bonded to Jet's brain.


December 2011 onwards: Initial analysis of Jet assumes he is just trapped within the hardsuit, and searches for ways to free him. Jet builds a prototype motorslave for Wright Stuff Mechatronics. Jet begins filming his flights through city and posting them online. Jet travels as far afield as Europe, America and to Tokyo Tower, Japan.


March 2012: Jet attends an anime convention, claiming to be cosplaying as Sylia Stingray. Using personal internet connection to achieve a perfect score on the pub quiz.


March 19th 2012. Local government finally manage to track Jet down and raid his home. The railgun is discovered. Jet is pursued by airforce 'fighters' eventually making a run for orbit. Jet Jaguar is wanted by the Irish government for handwavium crimes. And for owning an unlicensed firearm. (The Railgun). Zoom Zoom Bang is discovered by the parents and kept as an heirloom.


March 20th 2012: Jet picked up in orbit by Sn0wcat, an engineer with the SPDC operating the Genaros Weather System.


March-May 2012: Jet lives on Genaros working for the SDPC as a maintenance engineer. Jet buys in to the Metaverse at an early stage. Jet stays behind while the rest attend SOS Con.


May 2012: Ford Sierra attends SOS con. Decides against joining Great Justice, but doesn't vote against the proposal. May 2012: Jet's video of himself flying to orbit finds it's way to A.C. Peters, who contacts him to find out who he is and how he came to be. The full truth about Jet's transformation is revealed by AC's analysis of his body... After a particularly expensive piece of equipment is broken, AC tells Jet about the existance of the Panzer Kunst Gruppe.


Jun 2012: Jet Joins the Panzer Kunst Gruppe.


October 2012: Jet trains quickly, due to a cyborg's inherent advantages and the pressures of the Boskone conflict. Jet's first operational mission as a member of the Engel Gruppe.


November 2012: Jet takes part in a raid and kills a human being for the first time. Then the second. Then the third.


December 2012: Ford paid to salvage a wreck out in the main belt. The wreck objects to being salvaged and leaves her stranded in space with little to no oxygen remaining. Ultimately resscued by Jet Jaguar, who was passing by on a 'pigeon run'. The share a drink at a bar and go their seperate ways


January 2013: Ford buys the Dragon Wagon from a US Fan trading up to a Blackbird. It's a good working vehicle. Jet meets with Ford a second time.... they find they have mutual shared interests. Ford discovers Jet's actually male inside the armour. They meet again multiple times over the next few months, a slow friendship growing


SerenityCon: Ford and Jet meet and agree to explore their relationship further, having realised that it's more than Friendship. Jet and the Engel Gruppe leave for orbit to give their flight display. The attack begins while they're in mid-flight. Jet's trainer killed, along with two other Kunstler while knocking missiles and dropships out of the sky, leaving Jet in command of the Gruppe. Paralysed by the shock of it, he orders them to continue knocking out missiles and dropships.... Jet finally decides to call for help, but not before half the Gruppe is wounded. He is terrified about what has become of Ford.

Ford has been driving refugees to Gnarlycurl aboard the Dragon Wagon. It's been scratched and dented, but is still running. She's terrified about what has become of Jet...

Ford and Jet meet again on Gnarlycurl. They arrange a convoy system, grouping together refugee transports, under the protection of the Gruppe and whatever defenses they can scrounge up. They make four more runs before the attack finishes. Jet earns a Zig medal in the process, with Ford receiving an award for Civil bravery.


September 2013: The Kentucky Cat incident. Jet Jaguar assigned to a mission in Kentucky by Great Justice to test his suitability for a troubleshooter position. Assists local KSPD in tracking down a Zoid that is being used by local criminals to rob banks. In the process, uncovers a crime ring that has been kidnapping US Citizens and forcibly biomodding them, and who had been planning to launch a false-flag terrorist attack on the US using the zoid.... until an underling screwed up and used it to rob banks and make some quick cash on the side. Jet's first meeting with Benjamin Rhodes and Gina Langley.


October 2013: Jet officially promoted to the command ranks of GJ, taking official control of the Engel Gruppe


November 2013: Jusenkyou.... The Engel Gruppe looses two members in the assault. Jet blames the command staff for using the Engel Gruppe in a manner against her advice. Jet's first encounter with Berserkers. Jet discovers what exactly happened to the children from Hogwarts.


September 2013 -January 2014: Jet isn't so much burning the candle at both ends, as throwing it in the furnance and watching it go poof. Jet struggles to rotate Gruppe members through R'n'R, and many of the Engel Gruppe forced to go without, or make do. They are to good at their job's for their own good. Destiny Nova recovered at the Steelyard. Jet Jaguar takes part in raid on Shipwreck island, slipping in unnoticed and planting enough explosive to disable half the base before the Boskone even know they're under attack.



Jan 2014: Assault on The Dark Tower. The Panzer Kunst Gruppe slips in using the Destiny Nova as a Trojan horse with the aim of disabling the bases defences before the main fleet can attack. Jet missed Port Phobos victory celebration due to mop up operations. Ford attends and accidentally invents the silly-string mine.

Haruhi: Mission Complete Jet: Great, now, our next mission is as follows

Alphacon: Jet Gives Panzer Kunst demonstrations to attendees.


Apr 2014: The 'theraputic' capabilities of Turtle Wax and a rotary polisher are discovered by Jet and Ford...


Aug 2014: Jet posts 'I am a Kunstler, Ask Me Anything' on reddit. The smart ones figure out who's giving it by cross-referencing some of her statements about capabilities. Jet gives up on insisting he be called a He... nobody seems to pay attention.

Daryl Haur's family move to Crystal Sapporo from Munich. It's an economic move... her father has been offered a high-paying job at the local brewery.

Ford Sierra registers as a Bounty Hunter out of Marsbase Sara


Summer 2014: Jet still taking regular Anti-Zwilnik missions.... and is effectively still acting like she's on a war footing. Jet discovers that broadleaf tea can ease her nightmares.


Nov 2014: A mysterious raid on two Panzer Kunstler escorting a shipment of valuable materials leads to the discovery of 'Ghost Hacking' technology. Both Kunstler have had their memories partially wiped through exploitation of firmware bugs.


December 2014: Kotono Ito's parents move to Kandor City.


Jan 2015: Jet spends the the Second Port Phobos Invitational on the surface of Nehallenia installing recording devices. Ford perfects the Silly-String bomb.


Feb 2015: Quattro Incident on 2462 Nehallenia. Ford Sierra realises that Jet isn't so much burning the candle at both ends, but has thrown it bodily into the furnace, and threatens to tell her friends and force it to stop if she doesn't do anything about it. When Ford asks her what she wants to actualy do, Jet's answer is 'I want to be a Knight Saber'.


May 2015: With sponsorship from numerous fen engineering concerns, the Highway Star ridden by an Australian motorcycle journalist sets a new Land Speed Record for motorcycles. Highway Star will be the last record set without the assistance of Handwavium. Jet and Ford believe this to be their life's greatest achievement so far... the edition of Popular Mechanics featuring the Highway Star is framed.


Bubblecon 2015: Metaverse released publicly. Jet and Benjamin Rhodes drag race down the the main city highway. First appearrance of Lunatic Fringe....


August 2015: Eddie's waved Highway Star gets a run at 543C in interstellar space. Jet rides it.


September 2015: Race to 400 held at Bonneville, United States of America. Jet earns notoriety for being photographed riding on the hood of a rental truck. Benjamin Rhodes takes part, as do three other teams attempting to break the 400mph barrier. Highway Star barely makes it, despite an extensive rebuild and engine modifications. Highway Star retired soon after.


December 2015: Ford's 'Stingray Hardsuit' completed. Details released as the open-sourced Stingray Project.


January 2016: Against the wishes of Her Father - a staunch pacifist - Daryl joins the Sailors Armed Militia seeking freedom.


Feb 2016: Jet purchases her puppet body from AC, ostensibly for a 'puppet party'. Metaverse incident on Genaros follows. Someone used the Party to contact Jet anonymously, and inform her so she can go to the authorities.


Mar 2016: Thanks to a case of mismanagement bad enough to be mentioned in future editions of Rockhounds training manuals as a prime example of 'how not to do it' New Birmingham mining corporation goes into administration, followed by ultimate liquidation.


Apr 2016: 'Go fuck yourself' gets an entire new meaning.


Jun 2016: Jet agrees to allow Catgirl Industries analyse her Panzer Kunst techniques. Jet attacks drones using Hertza Haeon and Hertza Nadel techniques, blowing them up with bare handed strikes. Jet explains it as a form of vibration and shockwave control, and believes it to be similar to how Rogue Waves form in the open ocean. However CGI and Cortana remains unable to account for the excess energy gain after the initial hit, and writes it off as a 'wave effect'.


Aug 2016. Stingray Motor Engineering bought by Sylia Stingray. It becomes a quietly successful mundane company, with enough modest turnover to keep the wolves at bay. Earns a little early notoriety for an advertisement that compares a Police Helicopter and a Stingray RE1300T on top speed.... .

Kotono Ito takes up Stardancing.


Sept 2016. Jet Jaguar and Ford Sierra outbid a madboy and buy the claim to Frigga 77 at bare rock prices. Sylia Stingray makes a public appearance, discouraging the madboy from bidding.




Jan 1st 2017: Jet Jaguar and Ford Sierra work as contractors for the Roughriders to pay off the Frigga loan.


May 2017: Kotono Ito finishers her schooling and starts work at a local Gym. She trains as a physiotherapist, fitness instructor, earning an official instructors license to practice from the JLI.


Apr 2017: JF-21 built. Jet's response to Ben's order that she have her own personal Spacecraft.


Sept 2017: Ford prototypes the Motorslaves for the A-Team




Feb 2018: Jet earns notoriety amongst the Roughriders pilots for ejecting from her spacecraft mid-exercise, flying over to her opponent, knocking on her canopy and informing her that she'd just been killed by a punch to the face.


May 2018: Anika Daini awakened by William Flint.


Jun 2018: A-team spotted using Stingray hardsuits and Motorslaves.


Jul 2018: Daryl and her partner Ranko Mill (Actually Male, despite the name) awarded Usagi medal for anti-zwilnik operations. Daryl promoted to Cosmic Senshi.




March 2019: Mackie awakens in the KnightWing's computer as a result of Jet telling the squirrel's to 'Prove it's not safe' and pushing ahead with an NI test aboard the unfinished KnightWing. Jet's memory warped, to believe that Mackie is her brother. Connection interrupted before her identity could entirely be overwritten with that of Sylia Stingray, but some damage is done. Jet sees herself as Mackie's sister, with everything that implies.


Apr 2019: Kotono injured while training for Jeanne's Dance.


Jul 2019: Ford works on the development team for the Outlaw Class.


Aug 2019: A local thionite dealer has Ranko Mill murdered by a catgirl programmed to act as an assassin. The Catgirl had once been Ranko's sister. The murderer himself was catgirled by his bosses for loosing so much thionite.




Jan 2020. Official move to Frigga... it's reasonably habitable again after years of work on weekends.


2020. Knight Saber recruitment. Hardware finalised as each Saber is hired.


May 2020: Survival Shot opens for business.


Oct 2020: First UBA sponsored Raid on Frigga. Discouraged while in orbit. Nobody remembers to replace the missiles fired. They're expensive anyway.



Feb 2021. Anika escapes from William Flint. One of the first Knight Saber missions is to recover the battroid she stole. Knight Sabers learn the truth about Anika. William Flint arrested. Anika joins Knight Sabers.


March 2021: Survival Shot wins it's first major contract, training Stellviacorp Personnel.


Aug 2021: Anika goes bounty hunting with Ford aboard the brand new Dragon Wagon II. Anika is tricked by the prisoners and knocked out while Ford attempts to recover the blackbird. Prisoners hijack the Dragon Wagon II. Recovered soon after....(After Anika secretly allowed the prisoners to use the ship's weapons and chase off a rival group of bounty hunters seeking to claim the new Wagon as a prize. Ford knows and warns her never to get caught pulling stunts like that...)

Mackie receives an actual body from Vulpine Fury's puppetworks. Never looks back.


Sept2021: Jet takes 'oath of Venus' ceremony at the request of the other Knight Sabers. She pleads her case asking for acceptance as female before the court Aphrodite (Daryl) and Venus( Kotono), with Ford as her advocate. Mackie acts as the advocate of Mars making an impassioned speech for his sister's manhood, but the court rules in Jet's favour.

Drunken fun follows. Jet files paperwork with GJ asking for her official identification to be changed to match... but nearly a decade of putting out the meme that she still considered herself inherently male means most assume that the change is an error of some sort.


Late 2021. Knight Sabers Mission on Genaros filmed by Maico Tange. Knight Sabers burst into public view. Speculation begins.



Jan 2022 - Sept 2022. Maico Tange hunts the Knight Sabers.


February 2022: Serenity II arrives on Frigga to inspect Survival Shot, as part of a tendering process to supply training services to the Militia. Serenity runs through an exercise and is soundly defeated by TITANIC.

Second UBA-sponsored raid on Frigga mistaken for an assassination attempt on Queen Serenity II. Missile defences are still not replaced. Serenity II Forbidden from fighting by her bodyguards, much to her personal frustration.

Jet handles the attacking mercenaries personally. Genuinely believing it to be an assasination attempt aware of who and what they were attacking and not a raid, Jet responds with overwhelming force.

Analysis of surviving computers and Patrol interrogation of the survivors reveals they were hired by a UBA representative, didn't even know Serenity II was present, and believed that Frigga was mostly an ordinary backwater.

Serenity II mentions re-opening the mineworkings on Frigga before departing. Daryl Haur made official SAM representative on site.


March 2022 onward: Knight Saber missions against UBA step up.


April 2022 First Caster Gun built by Ford Sierra. Ford's Heavyarms begins soon after, using the tooling normally used for weapon maintenance. A few people buy them.

Second Caster gun goes to Benjamin Rhodes. 3rd Goes to AC Peters. A quiet thank you for their help with the Knight Sabers.


May 2022: Plans for the Frigga Defense Force first laid. Jet plans spacecraft squadrons and a proper human OpFor for Survival Shot.


2022 Convention: Frigga exhibits Havoc and Hokum choppers. Ford Introduces Driver Coil Compensation using the same technology. A busty Yoko cosplayer demonstrates the rifle variant. Maico misses Soviets joining the Federation. Plans for a Frigga 500 race using conventional wheeled vehicles first discussed among gearheads at the convention over copious quantities alcohol.


Sept 2022. Maico Tange arrives at Frigga investigating the Knight Sabers. 3rd UBA sponsored attack on Frigga, attempting to kidnap someone. Shoot down Anika and Maico on their way to Stellvia. Knight Sabers intervene, rescuing both. Knight Sabers KnightWing makes spectacular public appearance at Stellvia, photographed my multiple people. Maico aware of who's behind the Sabers. Convinced to keep quiet by Noah Scott.


Oct 2022: Noah Scott on Frigga for training contract negotations. 4th Caster gun given to Noah for assistance with the Sabers. 5th one donated to the Nikaido foundation, to be auctioned at a fundraiser. Ford sees the value of the reputation boost it gives her. 6th original weapon retained by Survival Shot.


November 2022: Sylia Stingray and Stingray Motor Engineering win a workplace conditions award. SME is noted for hiring 'new' workers and favouring those with little experience. SME launders Knight Saber funding, and disguises hardware payments as patent licencing fees and Business to Business transactions. Jet realises that 120 people will lose their job and livelihood through no fault of their own if the Knight Sabers little game of secrecy ends.

Holiday on the planet 'Arcadia' in Epsilon Eridani. Mackie runs into the ruins of the Iconian Gate while riding a jetski. And brings a chunk home. Discovery kept quiet by the Federation to deter souvenir hunters and alien artififact trading, which may destroy valuable archaeology. Samples find their way to fedaration approved researchers.

December 2022: Frigga Defence Force plans fall through. Nobody really wants to move that far out for anything more than a few days. It's too much of a ghost town. Frigga left holding the hardware. Budget for their appearrance at the 2023 convention eaten up... the Berkut project stops halfway through.



Jan 2023: Catgirl Industries Survey team investigates the possibility of establishing a factory on Frigga in empty space. The first Gate-Metal batteries are built using samples taken from the crashed Iconian Gate. Used to power the MZ-23 prototype. Jet uses the name 'Tanalloy' to hide the origin of the metal.

Shinji Ikari wakes up at Anika's request, after his body is built by Jet and Ford as practice.

Crystal Osaka memorial ceremony on Venus.


Feb 2023: Destructive safety test of Tanalloy battery emits a radiation signature detectable across Fenspace by those familiar with Gate technology. Shinji decides to depart Frigga and live on Stellvia. He works in the restaurant and as an occasional session musician. Weekly therapy sessions with Kat Avins. Visits to Rei on days off.

Final cruise through Fenspace before he leaves. Shinji meets AC, given a clean bill of health and put through the standard tests. Results 'surprising'. Kotono spends time at Kandor renewing qualifications. Learns that SHIELD knows what she's really doing on Frigga. Daryl meets with higher-ups among the militia on Venus for 'secret northern spy' business.

Anika left minding the fort as she's the only one who couldn't think of an excuse to go. Party with her friends.

A.C mentions to Jet that with ShockSkin and ten years of technological advancements in miniaturisation, it's now possible for Jet to retain the majority of her current capabilities while appearing normal... Jet needs time to consider.


March 2023: Mackie builds his own racer. Daryl finally finishes her F-104 based machine. They enter the Solar Regatta. Mackie finishes respectably with Anika as Co-pilot, even managing to win a single stage. The 104 is too heavy, but stable. Mackie unleashed Fusion Boosting addon kits for BAT Cuke engines onto the wider market, selling them under his own name. A few people use them on BAT-derived racers...

Prim Snowlight detects an unusual energy signature from Shinji's Mz-23. Unbihexium (126).

Apr 2023: Jet finishes the construction of 5 more Android frames. Decides against awakening them, on advice from Myk El Miller. "Jet, I appreciate that you feel there's a void that needs to be filled... but given what we've seen out there, is playing God again really the right answer? Remember the issues you had with Shinji." Frigga may be lonely, but that's the wrong way to solve it. They get set aside for spare parts, or until living conditions improve.

Daryl mentions that Crystal Millenium has been in contact with her about solving that problem in a mutually beneficial manner. Jet objects, worrying that she would be ceding control over the Knight Sabers to someone who might order them to do something they disagree with.

Shinji meets Yuu Inagawa for the first time. They get on well.

Ford's plans for the Frigga 500 morph on the mailling list into 'Motorcon'... a small convention for the gearheads and gasoline lovers of Fenspace where their vehicles can be run up to full speed in Frigga's tunnels. Motorcon committee forms with Ford as chair to establish the event. Sponsors are found.

CGI signs contract to construct a factory in one of Frigga's empty chambers.


2023 Convention: Frigga demonstrates a type of fusion powered spacecraft cannon. The prototype fails. Ford's Cosmo Dragoons using the same basic mechanism in a handgun boost her reputation as a gunsmith. 4 and only 4 are sold. A second Mz-23 with conventional batteries is shown to the public. The Berkut project is pushed back to 2024.

The Motorcon committee makes its official event announcement. Membership fee is set to cover the cost of providing medical care onsite, fuel.... and paying to ship any potential guests. The venue is provided by the committee, as is accomodation.

Shinji spotted together with Yuu Inagawa. There's nothing happening between them, they swear.

Serenitycon anniversary.


May 2023: Prim Snowlight able to confirm that Tannalloy is Gate Metal. 'Skuldium' proposed as the name for the element previously known as Unbihexium by Atalante researches.


August 2023: Knight Saber mission. Hired by a commander of the Sammie Merchant Marine to figure out why his ships keep getting attacked on the way back from their extrasolar colony. It's a straight up hire, not a GJ mission. She tells them he suspects someone on the inside is giving convoy details, since only she and the crews know the course. Knight Sabers in SAM uniform, aboard a Q-ship fitted out with a big expense account.

Convoy attacked. Pirates knew exactly which ship was the Q-ship. Knight Sabers aided by one of the freighters which was also quietly armed without telling anyone. Since only two people knew they were a Q-ship, and one just rescued them....

Long story short. The commodore was crooked. She needed to be seen to be doing something about the pirate problem, so hired the Knight Sabers and threw them to the wolves. She gets arrested by another Troubleshooter on the foot of gathered evidence moments after paying the Sabers....


Shini's 'Job Interview' for position as Security Chief of Ultima.


Sept 2023: Motorcon Runs for three days of gasoline fueled smog-creating speed. Jay Leno spotted amongst the crowd on a jetbike. Mackie builds a turbine powered Griffon car, to impress the Nekomi Motor Club. No-one is surprise when the throttle sticks, leading to a chase through tunnels at 500kph+ to stop it. Jet Jaguar seriously injured in the attempt. Sylia Stingray spotted soon afterward with Ford Sierra in a compromising position..... a few eyebrows raised, then quickly forgotten. Shinji spotted with Yuu...

Mackie banned from the event for a minimum of five years. Anyone who participated in the rescue is offered a free lifetime pass.

Otherwise, the con manages to pay its bills and get enough money for the next year. Criticism focuses mostly on the poor quality of Frigga's networking infrastructure, and some safety aspects that Mackie brought up. Policies are revised. General consensus is that planning was sufficient to prevent an 'incident' from becoming a 'disaster'.

Mackie leaves home to study Mechatronic engineering at NIT. Will be something of a pariah because of the Griffon incident.

MAGI upgrade to TITANIC postponed.... again. It works, but not in any reliable, useable or efficient manner.


October 2023: Shinji Ikari writes to Jet. He's transfered to Ultima crew and is doing well. Inside is a picture of him with Yuu. The seem happy.

Jet on Prometheus Forge for 'upgrades' and repairs. Returns 7 days later looking the exact same, only cleaner. "This is who I am, armour and all." Top speed increases, reaction times drop, Radio and radar frequency and sen processor upgrades, software alterations and general maintenace . Jet gains a full sensor array in place of the original radar using. Jet also now mounts racks for knuckle and ankle bombers, with an external safety interlock switch.

Puppet interface lag is 'reduced' through a tachypsychia control system that can slow Jet's natural reactions to the point where the lag would be imperceptible. Which keeps jittery sensations and responses from 'spoiling the mood'. It can be turned off when not needed. The idea was Jets... after reading about a swordfighting game that used the same approach ... even if the implementation wasn't.

Catgirl industries finishes phase 1. First thing produced are a series of FR-15 rifles for Survival Shot. AR-15 variants manufactured almost entirely out of carbon composite structural battery, with an integrated smart gun system. Sold under Ford's heavyarms brand.


November 2023: Daryl, acting as an official faction representative, conveys an offer from the Crystal Millennium. They wish to re-open the old mineworks on Frigga. Using modern equipment makes the old ore economical again, and they believe it to be cheaper and easier than establishing a fresh settlement from scratch.

Jet restates her objection. Ford disagrees with Jet. Frigga is dying slow, even after Motorcon. 7 people isn't enough for a Settlement. Negotiations are traded back and forth... the Knight Sabers issue is skirted around, while the definition of who owns what takes time. Frigga is, after all, legally private property, not a faction state. If there was one thing Ford and Jet were careful of... if Survival Shot failed, nobody could take Frigga.

December 2023: Arrangements finalised between Crystal Millennium and a final draft agreement is made. All that remains is to vote. 7 Owners of Frigga vote on it, after Anika insists on a secret ballot. Vote passes to accept the offer, 5/2. Shinji votes by mail.

4 Days afterwards Jet learns that Shinji has a daughter.


2024 - 2025

January 2024. Dragon Wagon II collides with UFO over Texas and is written off. Hulk returned for recycling. Put on display instead in an Atalante museum as a 'holy shit it actually survived that'

February 2024

Ekranoplan Lun retrieved from Russia. Stopped by the FSB in the Black Sea. FSB agents quitely allowed to remove two objects from her missile launchers while everyone looks the other way, and it's mutually agreed that the incident is undiscussed by all parties. Lun transported by JMC to Frigga

March 2024

Lun Aleekseva wakes up in Lun's old fire control computer. Removed after a perilous flight of the half-finished cruiser to the Forde

May 2024: Daryl Haur biomodded by Crime Guild as part of a race-fixing attempt.

June 2024: Questions about Lun's purpose are raised in the blogging community, focusing on her heavy armament.

Convention 2025:

Lun's debate with Chris Marsden on the relative merits of anarcho-communinism and liberalism is a highlight. Partly because they agree on so many basic points, then immediately take the oppsite understanding. Daryl Haur makes a limit speed record attempt in a converted moskito missile. Somewhat censured by the blogging press for an obviously intentional case of normalisation of deviation.

September 2024: Daryl Haur winns ARR warbirds Championship Motorcon 2024: Still No fatalities!

October 2024: A much earned vacation on Arcadia

Novemeber 2024. A Busy Month. The truth about the Arcadia mission is intentionally leaked as a distraction from another crisis, resulting in a motion of censure being applied to Lun and her crew by the Federation, and Lun's phobos registration being withdrawn

Three days later, Lun collides with a cloaked vessel in Venus' atmosphere after playing a game of Chicken, catches fire, and enters a terminal dive. Only careful use the the ship's controls presents a disaster. It's discovered that the person responsible for Haur's biomod has been replaced by a SHIELD 'Skinwalker' agent at some stage in the past.

December 2024: Mackie learns sin. While Crosschecking a new drive design, he discovers a way to make a nuclear weapon by combining uranium cores from roughrider engines with deuterium hydride - noted in literture as a 'failed' method. the UMH bomb would have startlingly similar capabilities to Kaboomite.... He knows that he can easily turn it into a fusion weapon if needs be, through using a drive-coil to retain the assembly a little longer.

This knowledge terrifies him.

All Year Friggan political crisis. Frigga's abject refusal to be used as a rotten borough by members of the Tokyo parliament by repeatedly voting 'none of the above' to their toadys. results in the Queen's personal intercession dumping Jet intothe role of Baron. Attempts at resignation are ignored.


CGI's presence begins to be felt. On top of them, the first group from Venus settles in and begins turning Frigga into a living place again. Frigga looks set to become a haven for the Hotrodders and Gunbunnies amongst the Crystal millenium.... having its own ril network, a public swimming pool, an anarcho-communist cell and a Tinker box.

Jet believes that, for the next while at least, the future will be exactly what they fought for. Shinji Ikari and the response to him from groups that otherwise publicly distrust each other, is proof of that. All the interfactional waffle that's happening is just hot air. Fundamentally, the people are still decent human beings. She's starting believe that she might avoided the fate she's seen others of her kind succumb to... .

But that all changed when the fire nation attacked.
