    Summary

    “I’m not here to kill you, buddy.”

    Slowly, Rusty crouched down.

    “I’m here to capture you, before Arquebus does.”

    or;

    C4-621 manages to escape Institute City on his own after V.II Snail's failed ambush, but with Handler Walter no longer in contact with him and Balam essentially destroyed, C4-621's only ally is the disembodied Ayre.

    Well, until the RLF swoop in, but that's its own awkward can of worms.

    (AU from CH4 IBIS fight onwards.)

    Summary

    ‘Rusty.’ The name stayed in his communications feed for a long time before 621 finished with: ‘Am I really your ‘buddy’?’

    The instinct to reply immediately was surprisingly hard to squelch. ‘Of course’, he should say, add in a bit of dazzle and warmth to his voice for good measure, anything to keep this dangerous and mysterious threat onside for now. ‘We climbed the Wall together. We’re war buddies!’

    But it wasn’t so easy to lie, nowadays.

    or;

    Rusty realises he has a weak spot for broken things.

    Summary

    Raven was a gen 4 the same as him, piloted an AC he’d fought simulations against hundreds of times, but Iguazu still couldn’t figure out why Raven kept beating him. However, tired of pointless battles against an opponent he knows will always lose, Raven decides to reveal his edge.

    Or Raven and Iguazu can’t fix each other but they sure can make themselves worse.

    Summary

    After breaking the corporate chokehold on Rubicon and preventing a catastrophe, Raven vanished into thin air. Nobody knows where the merc, who had been crowned "the Liberator" by the RLF, disappeared to, or whether she's even alive.

    Meanwhile, Rusty wakes up from a coma one month after the Fall of Xylem. Hailed as the Hero of Xylem, he has no memories of how he survived the inferno. All he knows is that he needs to find Raven no matter what.
