MASS RAPTURE — MECH CORPS

PILOT PERSONNEL FILE

Name: Renn Assigned Frame: Iron Tyrant Combat Role: Close Assault Armament: Reinforced mechanical fists Specialisation: Shock attacks / Attrition Disposition: Reckless / Competitive / Provocative Status: Active

Personnel Summary: An adrenaline-seeking pilot with a sharp tongue and an appetite for dangerous assignments. Renn relies on the Iron Tyrant's exceptional durability, favouring aggressive frontal engagements over cautious manoeuvres. Confident, sarcastic, and frequently insubordinate, she enjoys provoking her squadmates but remains fiercely loyal to the Corps.

Maintenance Note: Repeated damage to the Iron Tyrant's forward manipulators has required additional reinforcement. Pilot insists the repairs are evidence of successful operations.

Name: Ophelia Assigned Frame: Hollow Saint Combat Role: Vanguard / Interception Armament: Energy blade / Circular shield Specialisation: Allied defence / Close combat Disposition: Courageous / Protective / Headstrong Status: Active

Personnel Summary: An assertive, compassionate pilot known for intervening when fellow Corps members are threatened. Ophelia uses the Hollow Saint's speed, blade, and shield to intercept hostile forces and protect vulnerable allies. Her determination inspires confidence, although her tendency to disregard personal safety has drawn repeated concern from command.

Maintenance Note: Shield assemblies routinely return with damage exceeding projected combat tolerances. Pilot maintains that replacement costs are preferable to casualty reports.

Personnel Summary: An exceptionally private pilot recognised for precise, economical movements and unwavering composure. Eve rarely speaks outside operational necessity and never removes her opaque helmet in the presence of others. Her familiarity with the Kevlar Sweetheart's systems is remarkable, allowing her to respond to threats with near-instinctive coordination.

Maintenance Note: Pilot repeatedly declines scheduled cockpit interface recalibration, citing satisfactory performance. Diagnostic readings remain within acceptable parameters.

ARKSHIP NETWORK — XENOBIOLOGICAL ARCHIVE

THREAT ASSESSMENT / XN-001

Designation: Voidcyst Classification: Parasitic Extraterrestrial Intelligence Origin: Unknown Host Compatibility: Organic / Mechanical Propagation: Direct contact / Biological infiltration Capabilities: Assimilation / Structural reconfiguration / Host manipulation Disposition: Expansionist / Predatory / Uncommunicative Threat Status: EXTREME — QUARANTINE MANDATORY

Threat Summary: The Voidcyst is an unidentified parasitic intelligence capable of assimilating living organisms and mechanical systems into a unified biological network. Its natural form consists of irregular masses of flesh, multiple ocular structures, and independently moving tendrils. Infected hosts retain portions of their original anatomy and functionality, often displaying distorted human behaviour or operating machinery with unnatural coordination.

Research Note: Recovered specimens demonstrate responses to stimuli without identifiable sensory pathways. Whether individual hosts possess independent awareness remains undetermined.

Containment Directive: Avoid physical contact. Isolate compromised personnel and equipment. Destroy infected Mech Frames before recovery operations. Under no circumstances permit a suspected host to return to an inhabited Arkship.
