Armored Core Lore The story of Silent Line The year is ED.0188 a year after the raven of armroed core 3 has put down the controller and humanity steps back into a restored world from the great destruction of the past. However these beautiful hills of grass, flowing rivers and wild animals would be transformed as the three corporations Mirage, Crest and Kisaragi would begin what they would call the Pregate project. A plan for research and development to be done on the ground as these three have moved their activities on the ground. With no controller to manage these three power hungry corporations the building of corporation buildings began and the expansion of areas they control would quickly begin above ground. It would take until the year ED0194 for the growing of these corporations to hit a roadblock in their expansions as one unit working for one of these corporations is conducting a ground survey in this new world that suddenly they wiped out without warning. This makes all three corporations point the finger at one another however subsequent investigations identified an area where intruders were bombarded by satellite artillery and attacked by unmanned weapons. The corporations try many times however with one ending in failure it is decide to leave this area alone and expand to other areas outside of this hostile area should be committed too as a result this area which no corporation could enter is given the name "Silent Line". After continuing to expand for another nine years till ED0203 the three corporations start to run out of places to go. With Crest and Mirage taking a majorly of the land while Kisaragi is just able to lay claim to some of this new world, tension rise and with only one place to go the corporations start to wage war on one another for land and to try and be the first one to expand into the silent line. This is where Global cortex who had also expanded their services to above ground now would see a rise in a use of their services as ravens would once again take to the battlefield for credits and glory including a new raven or the return of the raven from armored core 3. There is much debate about who this raven was however their part in this history would begin here and they would be assigned an operator by the name of Emma Sears. There first mission would come from Crest about the elimination of an engineer currently working on a facility that would serve as Military outpost. As such the build is being kept quiet and all engineers who are working on the facility are to be held there for an unspecified amount of time upon its completion to maintain its secrecy. However one of the engineers refused and took control of the security system leaving crest not choice but to have him killed to ensure his silence. It is a rather easy mission for the raven, however it is the type of job that shows that even after being freed from ruling of the controller, the corporations still valuable their own assets over the humans as such this engineer is killed by raven by request of his employers. Missions like this would keep coming to the raven with some such as taking out a group in sector 517 which is under mirages control however an Anti Mirage group was trying to sway the resident layer citizens of this sector 517 to destabilize the corporations position there. It is believed crest is behind this as ever since the control was taken out the corporation has been trying to fill the void. Which would make sense due to their loyalty to the ai back in armored core 3. However what this mission also shows is that the corporations are struggling to control both the areas of layrad their own and their newly gain surface areas with the resources they have as some people only want to live in layard and not on the surface. Other missions like this would see the raven protect a power plant, guard a submarine and Distract security team this mirage mission would see the raven working with a mirage recovery team to intercept a transport from Crest carrying information on silent line. The ravens job would be to distract the highways civil security team to allow the mirage recovery team to get this information, to do this the raven would step on moving cars, trucks as they travelled along the highway killings men, women and children as they travelled on this highway. A mindless attack that according to different accounts the raven would face off against security mts or the raven Shooting Star who was hired by the Civil highway forces. Either foe is defeated by the raven which allows Mirage to take this information from the transport of Crest. The missions would keep coming for the raven including to protect a Crest air transport, recapturing a sector in layard and Defending a mirage solar power plant from a crest attack. That is until an important mission would come from Kisargi which would ask the raven to deal with an outbreak of a fires within one of their power plants. While this seems a typical mission the truth is the workers at the plant can not find the source of how the fire started and the fire suppression systems are not activating. It is looking to be a sabotage by one of the other corporations however as the raven goes around dealing with security mts and turning on sprinklers that they will encounter a large white Armored cores armed with a grenade launcher, an energy cannon and missiles system who seems to be the one response-able for the fires. Unknown to the raven at the time this unit would later be known as I C003 IN, one of four Ai controlled armored cores. However after defeating the large white AC, the raven would return to have two emails waiting for them. The first would be from a women named Sera Cross, she introduces herself as an employee of the artificial intelligence office and thanks the raven for what they did at the power plant. She goes on to explain the large foe the raven downed is very much like the units that attack faculties near silent line and how her group is analysing the wreak now. Sera would go on to say how research is becoming harder with the corporations being at war and how she believe that they all should have stayed underground and let the controller manage their lives. Since we do not know if this raven is a new raven or the one from armored core three it possible Sera words meant nothing to the raven or caused the raven to simple ignore her words due to their past actions. Never the less with one email down the next email the raven gets is from their operator who express how she is happy to see they made it back as more of the units like the raven fought have been popping up more and more and sadly not all ravens survived their encounter with them. She will give the raven a break down on who the Artificial intelligence office are stating. the Artificial intelligence office consists mainly of researchers, scientist and engineers. Its basically a think tank whose goal is to develop AI protocols for use in a variety of equipment. Emma goes on to explain that AIO technology has already been sold to the corporations, but the real concern is this groups private research which has not been seen by anyone. Global cortex is looking into it, but so far have uncovered nothing. With this the raven would return to work taking on missions destroy a reinforced mirage transport cargo train, defend the new fortress named fortress vg 924 which thanks to Crest rapid explains on the plant has left it inequitable defended and finally holding the kisaragi area across the zanar river against a crest force. Its also noted here that Kisaragi does not have the resources to keep up with crest or mirage and as such has been approached by crest before this attack to surrender to them with the words join us or die. The raven however would take this mission and push back the invading crest forces leading to more emails on their return. The first would be from Kisargai with the title disruption of power, this email reinforces that the corporation is struggle to keep up with Crest and Mirage who only keep on growing while they struggle to hold on to what they have. Without the controller keeping the balance between the three, Kisaragi is just holding on thanks to Crest and Mirage focus on the attacks from silent line. While some may feel for the corporation in truth, the falling of corporations is not something a raven could not show too much care for as after all there are simply employers and only those with credits will ever be able to hire a raven. However the next email is more interesting as Sera from the AIO who write she has been keep tabs on the raven and see their recent success. She would then go on to write about how the corporations are trying to deal with attacks on their faclites near the silent line and so far have been coming up with nothing. The AIO however will keep researching silent and all they have for now is that believe something with great power exist there. Its certainly food for thought for the raven as they take their next mission infiltrate fortress which will see the raven now attack the fortress VG 924 while a mirage investigation team enter to be finished Ai controlled base to take over it. The raven will have to sneak in first before launching an attack on the defence force to give the mirage team to work. However should the raven be quick in mopping up the defences Mirage will request the raven to head inside with another of their hired raven named Carom to take out two AC inside the base acting as guards. The raven depending on report either take this mission or not. However if they do this result in the defeat of both ravens named Mileage and 7th Heaven before the raven moves on to their next mission named defend lawdas facility which is as follows. (Play mission brief) Its here the raven would experience their first taste of silent line issue as while fighting a lager laser beam will rain down from the sky as a content threat along with this the raven will also encounter another large white armored core here just showing what silent line is throwing at anything close to it borders. The raven after such a task of dodging fire from all angle returns to find an email waiting for them. It is from his operator that explains while the raven was on their last mission, globel cortex learned that the satellite weapon was put into service around the same time layard came into being with it purpose clear now to be defending the borders of silent line. The units like the big white unit they fought are mostly likely for the same purpose however no one can figure out why? What is there that needs this much protection? These questions however would have to wait as the raven is sent on more missions these including stopping a group of rioters who are believed to be from layard who say the corporations are neglecting them for the people who chose to live above ground. Mirage however simply to say this is just another corporation ploy to focus their attention elsewhere however they have some of their backers who live here and would like to protect them. In this mission the raven will end the life of another raven by the name of struggle. Other missions include Repel assault which asked the raven to defend a mirage solar power conversion plant from an enemy assault while it hooks up it defences to the solar collectors. This will result in the raven defeating another raven by the name of Deathgrip before another email from Sera from AOI is brought to the raven attention. She questions why the corporation are so focused on expanding into silent line? The amount of lives lost are shocking and yet they don’t seem to care. When presented with such an obvious threat shouldn't people accept it at face value and heed the warning? Or should they push on to try and solve the mystery? What is your thoughts raven? Whatever the raven thought however did not matter as they had to fight to learn a living, the savaging bird does not get to pick its meals, it takes what it can. As such another mission of defending Varges airport, a crest owned airport coming under attack from missiles being launched from the silent line. While the raven will protect the airport, an email from crest after shows the corporation is tired of these attacks, they are costing them too much time and money and worse Mirage is grabbing land while they deal with repairs. The only way they see to stop this is to first deal with the silent line, they don’t have a plan yet but they will. Its not exactly a soild plan from the corporation however the raven will simple go with their job as they will be asked to take an exam against two other ravens for a special mission in the future, this ends up with the three ravens fighting each other until only the raven of this story is left standing. This is quickly followed by a mission from mirage who have learned thanks to their intelligence network that crest is sending a raven into the layered hub, where the controller once ran their lives from. They believe crest is after information on silent line which maybe in the controllers data banks however this is unknown as such they would like the raven to take out crest raven and get the data from the controller data banks if there is any. Again depending on if this raven is new this may mean nothing to them however if this raven is from ac3, then going back to where they shut down the controller may bring back memories good or bad. Never the less the raven will take this mission which will lead the raven to defeat not one but three ravens, one by the name of Ori who attacks the raven in the lift down to the controller and then two more Cypress and Gold Bit in the room before the now shut down controller. Thanks to this the raven will return to have two emails on about how their skills in the exam have entitled them to be offered a high risk mission from kisargai and a second from mirage that explains their team they sent in after the raven cleared out the layard hub was about to get information from the controller data banks and are analysing it now hoping it will give them the location of the satellite and how to control it. It is a big break through yet a ravens work is never done as such they will take this special mission to rescue scientists from Vilius Laboratory. While this seems like a simple rescue mission if the raven is fast enough they will learn that these scientist have been playing god and now have released a bio weapon they cannot control and need the raven to kill them. Its sadly not a time of rest for the raven as their return would see them then head off to destroy an AI prototype that Mirage and Kisragi have been working on to make an all AI force. The raven will do this before getting a message from crest that explains they have learned that mirage has finished analysing the data they got from the controller and now they fear the corporation maybe able to use it to turn the satellite weapon on them. This is a threat they cannot ignore and they will not simply sit by. It seems the rivalry between the corporations would only get worse, however the raven simple a middle man in all of this would head out on their next mission from Mirage itself who asks the raven to do this. Exploring the satellite that has been causing all this chaos, the raven and his partner for this mission Diligent would not however spend long there as after the security of the satellite is activated forcing the ravens to retreat. It on the raven return however they get another email from Sera from the AOI, she admits it won’t be long before mirage can data link with the satellite and she ask what do you thing they’ll do with that much power at their fingertips? She writes on that humanity has a long history with misusing power they are untrusted with before asking the raven if the past is about to repeat itself? The raven may have thoughts on this however again who are they to answer after all it is this choas of power that allows them to work. And that power will always lead to more money and missions much like the next misison the raven will take defend mirage headquarters as it seem crest was not lying as now they launch a full assault against the headquarters of mirage to try and stop them from taking control of the satellite. Its a real fight for the raven not only defending the air but also taking down two ravens who aid in the assault named Apophis and Prominence. This battle however was only the start of things to come as on their return the raven would have two emails the first from emma his operator who explains the corporations had enforced a martial law on all the areas they control as suddenly all their AI equipment from mts, fortress even the satellite weapon are all out of control. The causes of this is unknown however it is believed to be mirage attempt to data link with the satellite that caused it. The next email is from sera cross who talks about how a choice has been made and she wonders what the results of it will be? The raven however has little time for the questions of an ai employee as the next mission from crest would see the raven work with another raven by the name of Eclair to Secure Fortress NK-432, an crest ai run where the two will need to destroy the computer controlling the fortress and take out an ai controlled AC. A hard fought battle and on their return the raven will get a message from crest thanking for helping to regain the fortress and now they believe they have found the reason behind why the ai went haywire. A powerful override signal from an unknown origin, however they are working to trace it. It seems now all focus would be on stopping this haywire ai and even mirage seem to get on this train as the raven next mission will have the raven work with a team of other raven to disable the satellite that has been raining down death on the population. This will be done by taking out the generators that power the cannons of the satellite on it and so the team of ravens head up to do this only for the raven and one of his fellow raven named shade to have to battle another AI controlled ac in the room where the generator are stored making for another tough fight for them both. Successful however the mission was and more would be learned as mirage would point out that there is a striking simulatory between the technology on the satellite and the technology proved to the corporations by the artificial intelligence office. What is even more scary is that the technology is very much like the ones used by the controller all those years ago. It certainly points the finger and with more news from his operator it is learned by the raven that the override signal point of origin is within the silent line region. The corporations are now sharing what they know about the AI malfunction and agree the AOI technology has something to do with it, to add to this all communication from the AOI have stopped and the location of Sera cross is unknown too at this point. It turns out none of the corporations met with anyone from Artificial intelligence Office as all communication was done remotely. This has lead to the corporations to agree on a joint mission assignment to pin point the origin of they override signal leading the raven to head into the silent line for the first time in the mission Secure Unexplored Region which will see the raven alone taking on a force of unmanned mts and two Ai controlled Armored cores. The battles however are not done for the raven as their return would be greeted by another email from his operator emma which reads that after the mission a team from the corporations found a fortress located in the area in an enormous cavern beneath a creator. While it does not seem to be the point of origin for the override signal it has been confirmed to act as a rely point and the corporation are eager to take it to learn what it hides. This leads to another mission for the raven where he and a team of raven will enter the fortress to take out its power core allowing for other teams to move in to investigate. Its during this mission a some raven of the team will be lost while other retreat due to being out of ammo however the raven will be the one to find the core and once again have to fight another I C003 IN before taking out the generator. However it is noted the raven hears an unknown voice speak to him. It is believed to have been sera voice but nothing is made clear. Blood, sweat and tears are the price of this victory and with them all new information comes in, the research team that went into the fortress found a tunnel leading to another layard, this is where the override signal came from and now the corporations want a raven to head in and found out. The final page in this raven’s history is about to begin as headed into the layard, sera voice speaks out to the raven saying I am waiting all the while his operator radio signal is lost. Into the depths of this layard the raven would go fighting off ai mts and one more I C003 IN before falling deeper into the layard where another voice comes over the radio registered as IBIS as it starts up a registering process as the raven makes their way through a series of doors. It at the end where the raven will finally come face to face with this IBIS unit, to certain eyes this unit shares the look of a certain AI from another timeline. But here this black unit stand alone before the two engage in a fast battle between them, shots would fly, a style in combat would come before finally the raven would take down this IBIS. What follows next is the final words of this Ai and the freedom for the corporations to finally expand into the silent line region at last. The year is E.D.0204 and this is the end of the story of armored core silent line.


Armored Core Lore The story of Armored core nexus The year is now ED0259, fifty five years after the corporations managed to secure passage into the region named silent line, their growth and power have only doubled in that time with Mirage being seen as the most power corporation, Crest industries as the second and Kisaragi who seem focused on research leaving room for a new company to try and stand with these corporation giants. Navis and they would so this thanks to their recent discovery of a new resource which allows them to build advance technology. However the little upstart company would soon face the reality of playing with giants as Mirage at once would request this new resource be shared among the other corporations for the good of everyone. This would be put before the OAE, the Organization for Administrating Enterprise designed to police the corporations and keep them all in check. However in truth it held very little power and when it tried to enforce this idea Navis would simple ignore them making it clear it had no intention of sharing this new resource with anyone. Its here then that after this meet that a war between corporations would begin, with mirage taking the first move a year later by moving in a team into an area controlled by Navis said to be where this new resource is and in return Navis would send in a raven to take them out. This is the first mission for the raven of nexus, a new pilot working for Raven’s Ark, the successor to global cortex. It functioned very much like its old self however it is noted that the ark had one rule that separated it from once underground roots, no Raven could directly accept a contract from a client without going through the Ark first. Put in place to keep the corporations influence out of this neutral corporation, the raven of nexus would be told all this through an email before being introduced to their operator in another email before being sent off on their first job. Acting on Navis behalf, the raven would attack a squad of three mirage blue mts in ruga cannon, it is reported that should the raven be poorly lacking in the skill to complete this mission they will have it completed by another raven by the name of Jack-o who will mock the skills of the downed raven. However conflicting reports leave this unknown. However what is know is this attack would quickly be reported to Mirage, this sees the companies executives calls an emergency meeting to discuss this being an attack from Navis who at the time refuses to comment on the matter. It would be the match that starts the flames of war burning between these two as shown by Mirage as the next report the raven reads is about the corporation building a base deep within Navis territory to learn about the new resource. In the report its state this will require building a forward staging base on the Abax plain well within navis controlled territory and strong resistance is expected. Mirage state this base is not being built for their own benefit but instead that it vital to the future of all corporations and OAE support their efforts. It is the start of raven seeing the political side of mirage in action, putting pressure on an organisation that is meant to maintain order among these corporations. However a raven has little time for the battlefield of words as their next mission would take them to this half built base in the Abax plan. The goal to protect it from a squad of attack helicopter and it seems this base would need all the help it could get given the performance Mirage Mts show during the attack. The raven however would not have this trouble as shooting the squads down they would return to the Ark for more missions and reports from their operator. One important report would come to be about the newly built training facility built by Mirage but operated by Raven Ark, the facility is completely sound proof and able to survive fires and earthquakes. This facility would allow ravens to train there for a price and any research there is done within strictest confidence making it already get praise from Kisaragi a corporation with a history in testing and research that could only benefit from secret place to conducts their experiments. However in truth this was more a money making effort by Mirage and Raven Ark who it is guessed would spilt the earning made by the area. Along with learning this the raven would also get some history on the OAE as explained they are meant to be an organisation who I meant to oversee corporation on going and maintain order among all business. However they are too timid in their actions when dealing with corporations as such their influence within their role is best described as non-existent. As if to make this even more clear there is another report that state that now Mirage demands OAE now supply the corporation with supplies since their base building effort is facing some setback and the OAE fold like wet paper. That said it is made clear that within the ranks of the OAE, criticisms of this and seem very open to report where these supplies are being kept as if to want them to be taken. Perhaps to make sure the point is made clear, the raven of nexus next mission would be from OAE to destroy the supplies they intend to give mirage. Naturally with a large pay check and a bonus on the line should all the supplies be taken out the raven takes this mission and puts all the supplies to the torch. Its an attack that instantly is reported on when the raven returns along with another report on an ac arena being opened up close to the territory of Navis. It is noted this means now all ravens would be ranked and higher ranking ravens would be offered more lucrative jobs, but anyone who thinks it is a quick way to make money should know only the top rankers among raven will be profiting from this. It is a new way for the raven to make money as well as for the ark to show off their ravens to corporations representatives and milk the public for their money too. All this entertainment aside, what the raven would focus on is the report on the attack on OAE supplies bond for mirage. OAE would make the security footage of the raven attack public and branded it a barbaric act of terrorism and significant delays to mirage base are to be expected. Nothing like being made to look the villain in someone else plan, it is however something all ravens must accept that behind closed door these corporations and organisations would say one thing and then spout another to the public. Never the less, the work of a raven is never done as they would move on to their next mission to take out mirage special forces muscle tracers which are invading Bayload City, Navis wall city in the desert with a large population and where Navis headquarters is based. It would be a tough fight for the raven with these MTS which would be learn named Owls would be equipped with Ecm jammers making targeting them hard. However with only an attack force numbering four in total the raven proceeds to take out two of these attacker before the last two call for a retreat however as they do another raven shows up on scene. The meeting of Genobee to the raven is flashy and stylish, as expected from the rank 1 raven however the pair do not share a word before the rank 1 raven departs. Its the end of the attacking mirage force and the raven returns to base wondering if Navis hired this raven as back-up in case they failed or if he was there for another reason? Questions however would have to wait as on their return the raven would get reports that the attack on Navis most secure locations has seen it now come under marshal law by the corporation putting the city in a state of uncertainty. While this was going on it is also reported that a terrorist group would take over a mt factory in the lectus plain region, this factory is a joint investment project by both Crest and Navis however with operations at the factory slowing down, security personal where cut down to minimum numbers leading these terrorist who oppose corporation rule to act. While the report speak no more of the two corporations next move, the raven only has to look to see their next mission from crest would be taking place in the Lectus plain so they knew the answer to these terrorist would be them. However before moving out the raven operator report that they have made it into the ranking of ravens making it a big step in their career as a raven and should they improve they will only climb higher. So now the rank 30 raven of nexus head off into battle against the terrorist force inside the mt factory, the battle however is very one sides as even outnumbering the raven, the terrorist forces are no match for the raven who puts them down even before crest intervention force arrived. Another battle done the raven would return once again to be given a report on the attack on the mt factory, be given the name of the raven who they saw in bayload city Genobee and finally have a situation run down by their operator on current plan of the corporations with Mirage planning a full scale invasion into Navis putting preasure on OAE to aid them with this, Navis is trying to resist this attack and have been seen to have a large number of crest manufactured weapons leading to questions of if crest if supporting them. Crest has not made any major moves only now thinking of putting forces into the now retaken mt factory and have been noted to be talking with OAE and Navis. It certainly looks to be a battle between the combined force of Crest and Navis verves Mirage, however with no action being taken at this point by Crest, the ravens next few mission will see them fight an area battle against Dark charm or test Kisagrai’s new bio weapons which look like large bug before having more reports thrown at them. These would include that OAE has now resumed transporting supplies to the mirage base being built and that all these would now be escorted by a security force, but the reported number of these is so small that it show OAE is not supporting the idea as much as they seem to on paper. Crest has made a move to move a force into the recaptured mt factory done by the raven however mirage believe something is afoot as this factory has been dormant for a long time now and suddenly crest want to move a permanent security force in? A war between crest and mirage is looking to be coming and for the raven this could be seen even more clearly with the missions on hands including attack mt transport which will see the raven attack crests transport squad heading toward the mt factory, another mission for OAE asking the raven to take out their own transports heading to mirage base. Which ever one the raven does as always reports will come in, one being that OAE tried to hold a meeting with the corporations to find a peaceful solution to this new resource only to then be pressure into aiding Mirage by attacking Navis garrison guarding the tunnel leading to Navis mine amd secure the area for safe passage. And along with this that Kisagrai and Navis are having a disagreement about the research going on at the cultivation plant they and navis are working on, as Kisagari want to stop all research fearing Mirage would attack while Navis states that it is not a military structure and is safe from such reprisals. More reports means more missions as next the raven would then take on the mission Eliminate Navis security, this would see the raven attacking Navis garrison on a bridge guarding the tunnel leading to Navis mine. The Flying mts and sniper mts of Navis fight back with all they can as the raven is forced to leap between the bridges that they guard however the mercenary skill far surpasses their own as the bridge is soon secured by the raven. Another job done and the events of the world keep on rolling as the raven would read about how the water supply to bayload city stopped this morning and the corporation has no idea why at this moment. Crest has finally completed the move of their forces to the once joint built MT facility and has now made it a crest military base making this there first military action within the region, OAE thanks to the raven was able to go as mirage requested them however they now fear Navis will gather more forces at the mine itself and have asked mirage to postpone their investigation. A terrorist bombing would happen outside the wall of bayload city with a mt loaded with explosives would ram into one of the cities wall only for it to be very lightly damaged and finally mirage announces it will launch an investigation in the cultivation plant jointly operated by Kisagragi and Navis claiming dangours research with the new resource is being done there which Navis would responed too by media saying this was not true and all they wanted to do was one day turn the regions desert one day into an oasis with Kisagrai’s help. It perhaps then came to no surpise to the raven to then be sent a mission request by Kisagari to attack the research facility. The very one that Mirage wanted to investigate. Its here the raven will encounter the bio weapons again before taking out their objective eight cultivation tanks leading to another round of reports when they return from the job. This time its report mirage has finished building their base at last allowing them to focus all their efforts on investigating Navis. The smaller corporation knows this is not an ideal threat and already has been seen to be bolstering it defences. This in turn has crest and the other corporations now looking to make sure mirage does not monopolise on the new resource as rumours about OAE and Crest strengthening ties and a weapons company named use is seen to be developing a new weapons program to sell to the warring corporations. In a final report it seems the business relationship between Kisiragi and Navis breaks down after the attack on the research facility with Navis claiming the attack was done by a raven Kisigrai hired while the other claims it was an accidental fire. This blame game results in the pairs partnership to end as just like that it seems the only ally Navis seems to have is crest. Yet as always the jobs keep coming for the raven as next missions the raven can take is either an area battle with brimstone or killing a VIP in a helicopter. Completing either will lead the raven to have one report waiting and a two missions at the Kolios lake water filtration station, the only way the people of bayload city can get clean water into their homes and one from crest to train against one of their AC’S an idea the raven thinks is odd since up till now they have only met ark registered ravens, However back to the paperwork, The report the raven receives would read about how navis found what was causing the water blockage of bayload city and it turned out to be a living organism getting caught in the filtration system however they do not go on to give more information about the organism. Its here the raven can either choose to fight the Crest AC which will turn out to be Genobee which if the raven should win against will hear the crest operator say this. A slight modification, it is debated about this however from the fact Geobee can fly and fire his back weapons it is suggested Geobee is in fact using OP-INTENSIFY optional part which would allow him to do this and explain the shock the crest operator expresses since it seems only a few raven have this. We can confirm this later thanks to outside sources from the book armored core 10 complete works page 128 which state is an enhanced human is also a big factor and the armored core nexus perfect guide Which show a bright blue box on Geobee bio page with the words strengthened human inside it. However while the raven of nexus may not know about this, this battle however win or lose would not move events on until the raven takes the mission capture filtration plant. This mission would see the raven act as the attacking force of Mirage as the corporation wants the raven to take over the plant which the raven does with ease however it as the raven goes to return that suddenly two Armored core hired by navis named Trasher and Vernhunt will be dropped in to stop the raven. It is a battle between the three where Vernhunt will be killed while trasher flees letting the raven finally return home to a report that mirage has now moved in and now control the main water supply for bayload city. This however is only going to get worse for the citizens of the city as the raven then take a mission from a terrorist group to attack the power plant that gives power to the city and the raven does this leaving the city in darkness and without water. For their efforts the raven is now rank 20 among the raven ark ravens, for cutting off a whole city from water and electric they are rewarded for it. Never the less, the next missions of the raven would see them help Crest test a new MT with large heat cannons on its back before being asked by navis to help repel forces that have entered the black out city. The raven accepts this taking out he mts invaders only to learn later this attack was done by a terrorist group who then threaten the raven by email calling them a corporate lacky. Threats however come with job as such the raven moves quickly on to their next mission, an arena fight with Trasher. The raven from the filtration plant mission, the raven either defeat this raven or is mocked by Trasher for losing resulting in a rank change. However its after this battle that the raven is greeted by a report that Mirage is using their newly captured water filtration plant as a launching point for their planned attack on bayload city and are already moving forces there. It seems that mirage is ready to take out the little corporation who wishes to fights giants however for the raven life goes on as once again they will help crest retest their mts before being updated on the world situation by their operator. In an email titled power struggles three, in it they explain that Mirage is steadily expanding their influence in the region by taking the water plant and using OAE to launch attacks on Ruga cannon. Navis has been the subject off attacks from both mirage and terrorist groups leaving their main city bayload without water or power and are just holding on barely. Crest is biding it time with mts test showing the corporation is planning something in the future and finally Kisaragi has broken all ties with Navis to avoid the wrath of mirage. Yet while Kisaragi would avoid the wrath of the Blue coloured corporation giant, this would not stop them from attack their former research partners as the raven would see on the mission destroy Kisaragi force from Navis which would see Kisargai try to take over a water test facility being built by Navis in Koilos lake. They did this because they believe there is an ancient relic resting at the bottom of the lake, however the raven of nexus put a stop to their plan. Yet this is not the only plot the raven of Nexus would stop as taking a misson from crest, they would protect a crest fuel tank storage from a terrorist force and remove Organisms from mirage occupied water filtration plant, mirage rule this as not an attack done by Navis as it is beyond their capabilities. More missions and another reports come to the raven after these missions, the report talk about OAE plans to carry out an investagtion into the new resource mine controlled by Navis. A monorail will take the team there and it seem the organisation is now follow mirage policies on what to do next after failing to find a peaceful solution. But Navis would not take this sitting down as the ravens next misison would see them attack the very monorails the OAE team is travelling on. It is a quick and brutal attack that wipe out the monorail with ease thanks to their ac weapons and the death of this group is quickly reported about on the ravens return. The report would see OAE call out Navis as an ignorant and dangers corporation after this attack to which in return Navis would break away from the OAE leaving it alone now as the battle between them and mirage rages on as the corporation intends to fly reinforcements directly through Navis territory showing the confidence they have in their victory. In response to this the raven will either help defend the underground tunnel of bayload city from Mirage invading mts or shot down Mirage transport planes. Either one will result in more reports for the raven which include talking about the mission they completed and OAE is now preparing a counter attack against Navis forces at ruga tunnel which navis show no concern about however OAE as requested the aid of the corporations and raven ark with this. With all this the raven is then called to an arena match against a foe name evangel, friendly raven is skilled and reports vary on if the raven defeated him or not. However after this OAE would request the raven helps in destroying the armored monorails of Navis, one could say OAE was looking to do an eye for an eye trade with this battle and the raven would gladly shoot out the eyes of navis for a large credit pay. With this action the raven would allow OAE to take control of the ruga tunnel and force navi forces back into the mine as a last line of defence. Along with this it seem crest is also making a move as a large crest force now marches on Mirages forward base looking to take it and with mirage forces so spread out it looks to be an easy crest victory as this sudden show of force has caught mirage off guard. It comes perhaps as moment of wonder for the raven as to how mirage was so caught off guard after the fact crest had been seen moving forces about the place. Never again what numbers could not fix money could as mirage is quick to offer the raven of nexus a large sum to defend their forward base and who are they to turn down such a offer. The battle would see the raven taken down a number of large mts with heat producing cannons and fight a raven from crests own personal stable of ravens name agraya who the raven of nexus forces to retreat after trading blow with her. The raven return comes with a report on the attack stating how it was unsuccessful attack and how the crest strike force took heavy losses during it. It also point out that mirage will now have a much harder time with crest now starting to attack them. With this news of crest now double production of mts at it mt factory makes the headline as Navis force morale seems boosted by this news as they celebrate it. It seems the war would gain another member and while this is going on the raven would either take another area battle against an ac named wily tank or help Kisaragi with testing new AI controlled armored cores. These AI however are not match for the trained mind of the experienced nexus raven who returns to read about how bayload city has now fallen into Crest hands. They attacked and easily took the city from navis forces who thought crest was an ally, survives of the attack are fleeing south while crest set up base in bayload city. It is clear Crest is on the war path too against navis as the raven is given a mission to protect the flee citizens from Crest forces who are hunting them down in search of Navis high ranking officials. But the raven will also take a mission by Mirage to take down Agraya who after her defeat apologies to geobee. It seems Geobee maybe closer linked to crest then thought, however that would have to be looked into later as the raven would return to a report of Agraya being reported as missing before being emailed by their operator about how they have become rank 10 among all ark ravens. It is quite the climb however a raven does not sit down when there is more to be done as now mirage sends the raven to the borbos mine to remove Navis defence force there this will include a raven by the name of Pin fire who is taken out by the raven after a harsh battle between them both leaving Navis in a very struggling position as Mirage assesses it force for a final blow. The raven would also get an email from an unknown sender and their operator, The first from the unknown sender would read that the raven will pay for what they did. This email is not spoken of again however we can speculate due to further knowledgeable of future events that this email would come from Pinfires son Rim fire who would be seen later. However to focus on the here and now the email from the raven operator is another wrap up on what is happening in the world with it read about mirages using the water filtaration plant as their main base with their forces gathering, crest having taken bayload city is now gearing up for now fights with Mirage, Navis has retreated into the new resource mine and is holding out the best it can and Kisagrai has been quiet with report pointing at them being the one’s behind the organisms who infected Mirage’s water filtration plant. Update over the raven moves on with another arena fight with evangel before taking on either kisaragi mission to test their ai AC more or to attack crest defence forces in the tunnel of bayload city. Either one will result on the raven return to read that Evangel has broken the key rule of being part of Raven ark and has been dealing directly with Crest as such he is removed from the ark ranks and as a raven under their employment. With one less raven to fight for jobs, the raven has to wonder why evangel did this? After all he seems to be a capable pilot, however perhaps the allure of money was greater. Never the less while evangel maybe gone the raven of nexus would return to work this time taking a mission for Crest to destroy a mirage deport. The raven would take this and there are mixed reports if Jack-o another raven was there acting for mirage however reports are unclear and all that is know is the raven of nexus would clear this mission. After this the raven would then be sent be Kisaragi to clear a terrorist base in aurus Canyon, not only to learn more from it but also to reuse it as a base for excavation areas aimed at uncovering lost technology. Mirage would also send the raven to clean up navis force who have staged a defence at east Ruga canyon after mirage drove them their after many battles. It after these more reports will come in with one stating it has become clear that raven play a large part in this war between corporation however Mirage hired raven seem to outclass crest ones at every turn. Along with this the Ceo of Kisaragi purposes the corporations enter a peace treaty where all hostilities would cease and the research of all lost technology would stop as cooperation between corporation is the only way to a better future. Sadly as the raven would find out after taking a mission to attack a navis warehouse that the other corporation as less then eager to accept this purposed peace as they believe it only benefit kisaragi as they are know to have researched heavily in lost technology and therefore can not accept it, Navis has refused to comment and only the OAE show total support for the idea however given their role to maintain peace its not hard to see why. Another mission would pass for the raven here wiping out more navis force in the derset region before more news comes to him, this time it seems OAE is taking point as they tell mirage their actions will no longer be tolerated and station forces outside a mirage base however have made no attack thus far. It shows perhaps that OAE does have a backbone however since nothing is being done instead the raven is sent to take out the power supply of the mine Navis is hiding in. There return however would see a lot of change in the world and a new email from their next arena foe Rim-fire who will tell the raven how tomorrow they will square off and how it will be the raven last day. That aside the more important matters to the raven of nexus are first a report that Kisaragi has started to prepare to assault Mirage with their new model AC while another report comes from a high ranking raven named Jack-o who has discovered an administrator of raven Ark has been engaging in illegal activities with mirage as such the raven has taken drastic measures and removed all old administrators and replaced them with new one. He ends the report by saying should any of you have a problem with this decision, then the new ark has no need for you… And finally that that crest industries is struggling financial this is due to less profit being made on AC parts and the spending on raven during this war with mirage. Profit and war, without one the other can not work. However for the nexus ravan cash is not a problem but to deal with threat is. As such the raven will then head off to their arena match up to put down this rim fire before returning to see one of Jack-o new operators contact the raven about taking over from their old one also pointing out that a few ravens will leave but they expect these exiled ravens will find a place among the corporations. Its seem the world is changing fast and along with it the corporations in it as next the raven would have the choice to either defend a mirage missile outpost or aid OAE in their attack on the mirage forward base. Either one will result in a report on the selected mission as well as other news such as Crest now announcing their withdraw of their force from Navis territory as their headquarters believes they will lose more then they gain if they continue however their regional officials disagree force Crest headquarters to issue the retreat order again and stop all future supplies to the region. Top officials from Kisagari have disappeared day afters the purposed peace, it is rumoured they are being held by s group of Kisargai insiders who are opposed to the peace treaty. Fighting within these corporations only made them look weaker as the ravens next missions would see them take back the terrorist headquarters from Kisagrai who are forced to retreat and Ambush crest hq forces. This would see the raven battle three Crest AI armored cores for the rebelling Crest regional officials the effect of this would be felt at once when the raven returned as it clear through the new reports that a war between Crest HQ and their regional forces is now in full swing. The raven however could only see more work as next after another an arena battle with Ruin, the raven would then head out on another mission for mirage this time the raven would head to Koilos lake to take out the Kisagrai defence force there and the ac guarding the facility Call Limit. However all is not well as while the raven of nexus is fighting suddenly mirage start firing missiles at the facility without warning, it a clear sign that mirage wanted to not only get rid of the facility but also be rid of the raven of nexus they hired. This is even pointed out by the raven operator who state that this is a serious breach of contract and how they can not go unpunished. The raven perhaps happy to simply be alive returns to base to see the fallout of this serious breach of contract by mirage. A report that suggest Mirages conducts is being questioned. Its not exactly what one would expect after all most tend to act quickly when a deal is broken between two parties. However once again a raven’s place is not to be their own sword but instead another as such they head off to a new mission from Crest Hq to take out the transport planes of their regions forces who have stolen an AC called bail out. It is hardly a challenge for the raven of nexus who shoots the transports out the air forcing them to drop the stolen ac from a great height. This result in the armored core blowing up as it dropped leaving the rebelling forces of crest without this ac and more losses on their side. A return to base once again sees that even the report seem to think the crest headquarters has the upper hand in the war with the rebelling region commanders. In other news Ravens ark makes it clear to all raven mirage’s last action will not result in them retaliating in the same way however they will be putting heavy sanctions on the corporation. And finally There has been powerful electric discharges seen in the south Marea desert and fearing it could be a military threat mirage plan to investigate the area. In fact the raven of nexus is even offered this job, however they may choose to either do another arena fight or take on a request made by the ark itself. This would see the raven attack a mirage base and cause as much damage as possible to it before being pulled out by the ark. It a little bit of revenge for the raven if they choose to take it. Taking any of these however will see the raven return to more news, this includes a report that the force mirage sent in to secure Borbos mine has not been heard from since they set off and this has started fear among the mirage officials as navis is almost gone, so is this something done by navis or a terrible accident? They would not have an answer yet however the raven of nexus would be the one to be sent in to rescue these force if they choose too. If they do the raven will see there is no survives and the mine is filled with small red mt looking bot that crash into the raven ac without care. Still like always a return from any mission sees new emails and reports for the raven. One is that Crest headquarters has all but dealt with the major leaders of the rebelling regional forces however a rouge ac is still holding out and they plan to deal with him soon. Mirage will report that there force sent into the mine was complete destroyed by unknown weapons however it is unknown if these are navis made weapons or another unknown forces. And finally The electric discharges seen the desert have been found to be an arry of massive generators and the sheer size of them as many wondering they are working and who controls them is still under investigation. A new force? Who could this be? Sadly questions would have to wait as the raven is sent by Crest HQ to deal with this rouge Armored core in bayload city causing them trouble and perhaps to the ravens surprise they see the rebel ac is none other then genobee who talks to the raven about how their roles could have been so easier reversed and how the relics of the past will never bring mankind prosperity... Reports vary on how this battle went down with either this being Genobee’s last battle or him fleeing and being unable to be found. Either result will see Crest fully withdraw from the region leaving mirage, Navis and Kisaragi as the only active corporations in the region. However there is an email from Navis titled last request. Its reads the corporation even being on the edge of being eradicated by Mirage continued their research into lost technicology resulting in the activation of a massive weapon. However they can not control it as such require the raven of nexus to destroy it. Navis has this massive weapon in one of their last remaining mt storehouse and as the raven fight this large grey monster of a machine, it clear that it seems this lost technology is quite a fight as the raven weaves and hides to avoid it blasts. It should be noted here that should the raven fail here it is seen that Mirage being the only corporation with the power and resources in this region would march on to become the dominate force taking out Raven arks and all other corporations in the region as they march on to a total victory with evangel leading them. However this is vision of a mirage rule is not the true as the raven of nexus would not fail in putting down this massive weapon which we would later learn to be named the leviathan before returning to one final mission and a few more updates. First with the updates is that Navis is no more with the discovery of their last stronghold which held the Leviathan, its destuction leave the corporation without anywhere to go and no more assets resulting in the end of Navis. Mirage has decided to indefinitely surspent all investigation into the region after the loss of their team in the mine, Crest has full withdrawn from the region and kisagrai is in such disaary due to inter fighting however research of lost technology goes on. The final mission of the raven unknown to them comes from Kisagari who sent in a reseach team into the mine where mirage lost its force to the unknown weapons. They write that they fear the team has activated control devices for a lost technology weapon and they don’t want to repeat the same mistakes of the past. It maybe too late for the team but the corporation want the raven to take out the control devices. The dive into the mine for the raven would show an advanced area within it with energy weapons as defences and these large control devices taking a lot of destroy, the raven does not escape it without some damage however its then this happens. A battle with an unknown red weapon, its speed and fire power put the raven in a real tight spot pushing the ravens piloting to the limit as it zips and zaps around at high speed making targeting difficult. Again there are reports that should the raven fail here a vision of the future sees an endless waves of mts marching towards an ac who fires off their machine gun with the shells falling to the ground in great numbers however the horde of mts would never end. Yet this vison again is not what we know happens as the raven would do battle and beat this unknown foe only to suddenly see swarms of those small unknown weapons that took out the mirage force start to fly at great towards the surface. The raven gives chase and even tries to make a last stand against them however the unknown weapons keep coming and coming as they dive bomb the surface world plunging it into six months of a never ending rain of death and destruction. The new resource Navis had found is now destroying the world and no one could stop it. The year is now ED0261 and This is where the story of armored core nexus ends.


Armored core lore The Story of Armored core verdict day It was after the events of the armored core forgotten stories that we learn that the three major figures of this story would part ways to build up factions. With Cesar returning to the Vendie base of operations in located in the mid continent, Rosary would return to the Men of Honour group located in the Northern frontier while Frances would travel with stork to the Far East. For next 100 years known as the reconstruction era, the three would grow their factions into powerful forces thanks to the discovery of more tower and their own personal goals. For Venide would undergo a major transformation when Cesar returned from his journey to explore the Tower. Cesar, determined to restore humanity after the events at the Tower, began to seek further expansion of power. His methods relied on direct violence rather than political tactics, and the less powerful organizations had no choice but to give in. His death during this time would see Carlos Venide become the next ruler of Vendie The world that Venide aspires to, is the world of the powerful. They do not hesitate to profess that the Tower is a weapon to realize this, and that it was given to Venide, the chosen people. And to make it a reality is not an aspiration for them, but a mission to be fulfilled. As for Rosary she would go back to using her real name of cordillera startford and with her return to the men of honour she would quickly seize power within the group ousting her only sister before making sweeping changes to the group. She like her mother made herself the head of the organisation as She then became obsessed with expanding her sphere of influence, and through skilful negotiation, brought many of the migrant groups in the NORTH FRONTIER under her control. Her death years later would lead the men of honour to be renamed as Sirius with a new system of rule in place. The faction is seen as a federation of several small powers, and has the character of a federation state. Each of the small powers has its own self-governing region, and the basic principle is mutual non-interference. This is due to the fact that Sirius has repeatedly merged with neighbouring small powers in the process of its establishment. Therefore, there are several small powers with different ideologies and customs within Sirius, but because of the principle of non-interference, there are rarely conflicts among the small powers. Each sub-power is characterized by the fact that, although it has the authority of self-governance, it is not equipped with military power beyond that of self-defence. Therefore, it is essential to have a military authority for the entire Sirius, which is the "Joint Command," an independent organization that does not belong to any of them. The minor forces are not involved in any military affairs, and the self-defence forces do not participate in the battle for Sirius. Institutionally, the Command Center is on an equal footing with the minor forces, but in reality it has an extremely strong influence over Sirius as a whole, and is recognized as the supreme authority. The Joint Command is a group of elites selected from among the various subcomponents, and is composed of the Commander-in-Chief, who is the chief executive officer, and several commanders who assist him. In addition, under it are various base units, led by the 101st Unit, which reports directly to the Joint Command. Many of the descendants of Cordelia Stratford, who built Sirius, have excelled from generation to generation and have made significant contributions from the Men of honour era to the present Sirius. Gloucester Stratford, who serves as Commander of the Joint Command, is a representative of this group, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is a heroic figure who excels in all aspects of skill, brains, and charisma. Finally there is evergreen the faction created by Frances, Based in The FAR EAST, it was in a deeper state of pollution than other lands, so it is easy to imagine the difficulties she would have faced. It is said that Frances led ash people and used their “migratory” ability to discover a new tower in their lands. It is said that the ash people people used the knowledge and skills learned at the tower to create a safe haven for their people. They greedily absorbed knowledge and skills from the tower to create EGF. However, not much of her life after above said events is clear. It is said within EGF that she was with the ash people until she passed, but also that she disappeared with a few of her friends one day after securing some bases. These rumours have made Frances somewhat of a Saint in EGF’s eyes and it is safe to say that she has had an impact on EGF’s religious beliefs. These beliefs being that they have a tradition of relying on the knowledge and experience of the most senior members of the group to lead them through polluted lands. Based on this culture, EGF members are prone to follow and praise their leaders. To the Ash people who wandered without purpose at the time, Frances seemed like a savoir. She lead the ash people to many new areas and was praised as a “guru”. The Ash people were “taught” that some day the world would be cleansed of all pollution and that a green world would be brought back. They strongly believed in Frances’ message and work to make their vision a reality. Although EGF members are united in their teachings, the level of belief varies from person to person. Members who strongly believe in the teachings believe in strict obedience, but people who loosely believe have an “As long as I don’t do anything that goes against the teachings, I’ll be ok” attitude. Some people believe that this is the result of people losing faith as the leaders of EGF have changed over time. Some members do not praise their leaders in a faithful way but praise them simply because of their personalities or skills. The EFG’s goal is to gain control of all towers, which are the base of their faith. By destroying the towers, they believe that their god will bring back a peaceful, green world that was left behind in the olden days. They fight mercilessly for their faith. What this has lead to is the EGF’s leadership structure called the “Elderly Council”. As the name of the council states, the religious leadership is made up of many “elderly” members and they represent the core values of EGF in the real world. Part of this movement is the creation of the “Wartime Special Forces.” This team is made up of 13 influential people who were chosen by the Elderly Council. They are considered Imperial General Headquarters and are expected to use their influence and power to go all-out to overcome difficulties, like wartime commanders. The 13 members of the Wartime Special Forces are all appropriately consulted for their leadership and were chosen through vote by EGF. However, the youngest member, Karin L. Murakumo received the most support, and it shows in her mannerisms. With these three powers building up, the pollution of the land began to fade and the new leaders of these group would set out to achieve their goals. Vendie wanted to rule the world with power, Sirus wanted to secure peace and the Evergreen wanted to destroy all towers to bring about their new green world. Its during this time more towers would be found on each continent allowing the three major powers to grown stronger by studying what they could of the towers allowing them to produce multiply armored core. This in turn along with land grabbing of all the factions slowly causes the old migrant group to fade into the pages of history or be killed off such as the group who an orphan who would grow up to become known as Fat man belonged to. He would be taken in by the strokes group the same one’s that aided the dark raven years ago and later become their only surviving member as the three power start to expand their territory. The first two to meet and clash would be Sirius and Vendie both around the same military might and each wanting to expand into the south frontier, the two quickly began to wage war on one another while evergreen thanks to the pollution still being heavy in the far east would have to build its strength. Sirius and Vendie would wage war for a few years with Vendie looking to finally be winning only for the sudden advancement of EDF forces to turn the tide. However unlike their original creator Intentions EDF would also attack Sirius and they in return would do the same creating a world war between the three powers. This is when another organisation would show up named the foundation It emerged as a group of researchers studying lost science and technology and restoring it, providing the three major powers with various technologies, including newly designed parts and UNACs. In a sense, they had a huge military power, but as an entity that only sold technology, they advocated neutrality. It was rumoured to have been founded by peddlers formerly known as "migrant" peddlers who have existed before the establishment of the three major powers, although none of these rumours are substantiated. The details of how the Foundation was established are unknown, but it is highly likely that there was only one representative member of the Foundation. They would start to produce technology unlike any other seen by the three faction and share their technology with the three factions this would include the UNAC unit. It is best described in the Voice of War report which reads An autonomous control system for ACs furnished by the Foundation. Also used to describe the unmanned ACs themselves. Comprised of a physical unit installed in the core and the base program "Formula Brain" built into it. By adapting the autonomous control technology previously limited to a very small subsection of specialized weapons to work with ACs, the mainstay of modern combat, the Foundation became a focus of attention overnight. Today, this technology is the Foundation's core product, and is used heavily by all three factions. While UNACs are capable of a wide variety of user-customized combat behaviours, those used by the three factions most commonly employ simple tactics shared by large, unified squads, relying on strength in numbers over clever strategy. With this rise of power, a women by the name of Magnolia Curtis would join the EDF forces only to leave sometime later to become a mercenary. Its here that a rumour of a team of armored cores named the reaper squad is killing off skilled pilots as the three powers wage war. During this time Magnolia forms a contract with Fat Man to transport her armored core to battlefield however on one mission Magnolia is nearly killed by a reaper squad member named J but in rescued in time by Fat man. However she is heavy injured leaving her unable to pilot an armored core leading her to become an operator for Fat Man’s new mercenary parter. And it is here where the rest of the story of armored core verdict day can be seen in the game armored core verdict day. The story of a lone mercenary begins with the mercenary being transported by Fat Man who drops the mercenary into a battle between Sirus and Vendie forces with a job as explained by Magnolia or Maggy as she goes by now. It would be a quick and dirty battle for the mercenary as they head back unaware that someone is watching as the three leave. What follows next for the mercenary is a series of missions to take out small forces from each faction and one mission to take out a bandit group who’s leader Burt Barton got his hands on an armored core with a new weapon from the foundation after a raid. This new weapon would be weapons arms seen for the first time by the Mercenary as he fights this bandit with fat man suggesting only the foundation would create such weapons. This new foundation weapon does little however to help the bandit leader as the mercenary is quick to kill him before moving on to take out another member of this gang with another stolen weapon arms specialized ac. His named would be WR with his blade weapon arms ac gambit. Dealing with the small fry as they go on the next major mission for the mercenary would come from EgF who have had one of their bases near a tower in fort Denis has been infiltrated by one of the other factions combat teams. As such the EGF hires the mercenary to come in and capture the foes however arriving on scene maggy is quick to notice this is not a simple capture mission. The she haggles with the commander and in the end after the job is done The mercenary is paid double for the work even if this was done with threats and insults being flung about by both parties before the mercenary departs. The mercenary would then go on to deal with more small time jobs like taking out a criminal gang, eliminations of other mercenaries like Alberto Gunther as well as working with one named Carius to take out some vendie forces. This is when the mercenary next big job comes in from a vendie commander to aid in invading EGF territory and take out a transport convoy moving through it. It here we see not everyone in Vendie is eager to die in combat and that this mission would not be as easy as expected. Help from a red and black armored core seems to cause maggy mind to wonder as after the unac defeat she goes on to explain who this ac might be. This reaper squad would not be mentioned again for a while as the mercenary would go on with more of the usual work taking down more mercenary armored cores and fleeing EGF forces until the mercenary gets a job from an unknown source. All the details are kept secret until arriving on sight and well as long as the money is good the mercenary would go to find out what this was all about. Fighting this unknown weapon which we known now To-605A, the mercenary would prove themselves even with the loss of the unac helping them. Making their employer sound suspired at this victory. The battles from here on continue to show the skills of fatman’s mercenary as they take out autonomous arms said to be weapons from the last age, more armored cores and more of the three faction forces, each victory however seem to shake maggy as admit on one mission 4-6 she is not sure if she should be impressed or scared of the mercenaries skill she even seems unsure on her answer when fatman comments how the team is lucky to have a pilot like the mercenary on their side. Her unsure answer would not faze the mercenary from combat as soon another major mission comes in from Sirus who wants the mercenary to back up its intelligent squad who are fleeing from a vendie controlled territory. It goes to hell straight away as the chopper carrying the team is shot down leading the mercenary to have guard it till help arrives. It take a few minutes but soon a unac team is dropped in by sirus to help out, however these AI armored cores suddenly begin to act different. The unac turn on their allies and the mercenary however it clear this is not sirus doing this as they sound just as surprised and shocked about this. The mercenary waste not time in putting these ai mechs down before maggy and the sirus commander share a few words. It turns out thanks to the voice on war report that it is learned all the unac’s under the command of the three major powers are turning on their own forces and some have managed to capture the towers the factions hold. Anyone of lesser standing Unac seem to operate fine making this as the report suggest an internal attack. For the mercenary this matters little as they go on with more jobs taking out more mercenary ac’s, an anti verdie rebellion within Vendie territory and one notable mission 5-6 where the mercenary would be asked to guard a helicopter from a force however things do no go as planned as the pilot seems to be going slow and worse a member of the reaper squad shows up. Its a strange time and with it another major mission comes to the mercenary from a vendie commander. This battle of stopping these unac headed toward one of vendie towers leads to the death of the mercenary named Erik as well as the appearance of the reaper sqaud once again. Like last time the squad aids the mercenary but when the leader of this group shows up to recover them maggy and him chat. It after this reports from the voice of war suggest the reaper squad are working with the unac and that the foundation has still not said anything about the unac turning making the two linked, but this speculation at this point. This mixed news would have made many think but Fat man mercenary would simple keep on fighting taking down more mercenary armored cores including two from a cult called the beehive that was established a hundread years ago before the dark raven wiped them out. Yet one mission that should be noted is mission 6-6 where Fat man’s mercenary not only wipes out an elite squad of vendie forces but also kills two ac in the same mission making maggie say this. She seems shaken yet she goes on as the next major mission would send the mercenary to take out force said to under foundation control and its here we learn more about what is happening in the world. The mercenary would clear out these foes with ease before another weapon shows up and this one mean business we now know it is called the Grey Lotus and while the mercenary is able to down it the foundation leader talks with Maggie who here walks away from her time with fat man to join the foundation. With this maggy would leave Fat man and the mercenary side as the two head back into the fields of war with more jobs to do. More mercenaries fall to the pair, more foundation machine of war bite the dust as finally another major mission come to the pair to defeat an unknown foundation weapon approaching one of the bases of the three forces. However when they arrive this mission is a trap set by the reaper squad themselves who fatman mercenary battles, the first reaper to fall is called K before another reaper squad member D and two unacs come for a fight. Fat man’s mercenary reaps this reapers soul too before a final foe show up, one that surprises them both. Maggy she had joined the reaper squad and return to piloting her old armored core blue magnolia to now face her former friend in combat. She however is not match as the battle would lead to her retreat after fat man mercery manages to damage her heavily. Maggie had made her choice and so fat man and his mercenary would fight on taking down an EGF force, more foundation weapons and more fellow mercenaries until finally the two would set off on a mission to destroy the reaper squad and the remaining foundation forces which the other three power had been fighting all this time. The first foe they would meet would be maggie as she and fat man have a chat about a story of the dark raven. She wanted to be like that raven yet fate had other plans for the blue magnolia and fat man’s mercenary would outclass her forcing her ac to right arm to blow off as she insist she can fight on leaving Fat man’s mercenary no choice but to finish her as Maggie and Fat man have one final chat with one another. Her death however means little to the foundation leader who come over the radio after. Another battle with a foundation weapon this one called the scavenger, it looked to be all the foundation had left, throwing all they had at this mercenary who in the end would still turn it all into scarp as the foundation leader then rants on after. Its here Fat Man and his mercenary would give chase as finally the pair would meet the leader of the reapers J in a machine we now know named N-gix its a machine that share a lot of characteristic of the nexts of armored core 4 and for answer with its speed, Over guard van booster entrance and primal armored that seem to be not quite as functional as it should be we learn about J here from the foundation itself. This does look to be a fight the foundation is sure to win and yet even after pushing this Ngix to its limit and having all this combat knowledge, J falls to the mercery with the foundation man and fat man sharing some words as the mercenary leaves the battlefield. With this all said the battle for the towers would go on between the three factions and the weapons the foundation man spoke off. Its here in this report it is highly like the foundation leader is issac from the period of the dark raven who has managed to become an ai like Chief and Carol who seem to have vanished. As for these weapons he talks about includes a series of weapons from past eras like the red exusia, the LIV Lady in vortex who is suggested to be the once zodiac designed Angie, the spirit class moving fortress and Automatous weapons like the ammo series. However none of these foes are fought within the main story and instead must be noted down as fought by the three powers forces or mercenaries after this event. In the end the verdict war had only really begun with the three factions now fighting with all they have against each other and these left behind foundation foes. The tower which the three faction use to maintain their power continues to power the foundations left behind weapons. It seems this world would either fall into the hands of one of these factions or forever be stuck in a never ending war. This ends the story of armored core verdict day.
