Too bad the Whispereds cannot judge a book by its cover. Y'know, mind-reading.


Dang, whatever happens at the end of this series...it will be titanic, that's for certain. I'm anticipating anything. Kaname sacrificing herself for Sosuke, or Sosuke having to rescue a brain-washed Chidori...

Either way, I think Sosuke will live on. BUT I WANNA MORE AND A SATISFYING ENDING NOW!! wahhh!

Kaname sacrificing herself? : (. I don't like that ending o.o

[Critical]

At that point death of any of those characters left from the beggining means death to the author by bloodthirsty fans. I know i would be veeery pissed if Tessa, Kaname or Sousuke would have to die.

[dpryciak]

hahhaahaha!

Yeah, I'm sure the writer would have to find some place to hide.


oh, and about that poster of the Whispereds. I went back and watched not only the ending plotline last night (again), but watched the scene you guys mentioned (shocking, I never noticed it before). Yes, it is the pink lady hanging. And, once again, why would Kaname see THAT at that moment???

odd....I looked back at that just now.....that was kinda odd. OOOO something for the plot near the end?!??! >: D

Alright, I've finished reading MMD06.
Even more troubles and news below:

Spoiler:

1. Kalinin SHOT Henry in the stomach when he led the Codarls come and took away ARX-8. It's noted that Henry will be dead if not being rescued in a short time(30 minutes to be exact). Later disclosed that his code is Mr.K.
2. Sousuke finally returned to his normal combat atate after repeated training.
3. Lemon somehow hacked into a NATO satlellite and spotted a strange mansion in Mexico.
4. Mentioned in the progress, there're some chances for AL's core to survive during the attack in Tokyo.
5. Another Mithril officer, Captain Roy Seals, brought a M6A3 to Lt. Colonel Courtney(who's the one kept Sousuke from MMD05) in a CH-53. (both appeared in the same short story before)
6. Leonard and those guys seemed know that there'll be an attack upon the mansion mentioned above AND also knew that TDD should had snatched those infomation as well, and Mr.Au had sent 3 "Plan 1502" to there. (Special Note: Benemoth's code is Plan 1501 AND as mentioned before by me, at the last of BOMF there's some talk about Benemoth-i, AND Leonard said something simliar to this after that:"Then it really helps. It performs so great at Melida Island." ------Well, you get the picture. However, it can be expected that TDD is also racing for the island.)
7. ARX-8 is scuttled totally beyond reconstruction, BUT Leonard didn't check if the Lambda Driver's core is present.
8. Finally, Sousuke got into that M6A3 and launched in a cargo plane. It's worthmentioning he used "Uruz 7" as his callsign once more.

It seems the story will become more intresting afterwards......

Hard to know if Kalinin has gone to Amalgam after Mithril has fallen, was a member of Amalgam since the begining or is a double agent. But the letter K design the potassium who is also known under the name Kalium. And Mister Kalium was Gates (FMP! TSR) so perhaps Kalinin is only a new member of Amalgam...

Mr. Au -> Mr. Gold
The second version of the Cordal (Plan 1056) was the Cordal-i (Plan 1058) so the Plan 1502 should be named Behemoth-i
Wasn't it mentionned in BOMF that Chidori has worked on the Behemoth-i

So Leonard has only done a rapid examination of the ARX-8.
Is it mentionned if the ARX-8 is finished and totally operational

The M6A3 is the "Dark Bushnell" and the latest model of the M6 series. That would have been cool to have a XM9 but a M6 is better than nothing

1. Yeah, it'll be hard to know. But since he met Leonard at the end of ADVMC, there will be a fiar chance for him to turn to Amalgam at that time onwards......So comes Mr K. But who can explain that he entered data of supplies for TDD?

2. It certainly did.

3. Not mentioned. In fact, Leonard didn't even show much interest at ARX-8 when he saw it's so alike as a M9. Doesn't it further make one guess that it's not the real ARX-8?

4. M6A3 is still the best model of Second Generations. Man, saw Sousuke went crazy when he piloted the RK-91 in BOMF? He can possibly do the same------except he doesn't have a good OS, and STILL his AS doesn't have a jaw to eat others up

like a hollow pole, that way you hear the impact. PING!

[jimbo98765]

ok i just read the whole thread.

1. Who's Bunny?
2. Some1 summerised BOMF already??? Where???

[Renegade334]

...
You sure you read the entire thread?

He's reportedly Teletha's first love.

[jimbo98765]

i scan the bunny part coz my eyes are tired. heehee. and who's telatha, if u dont mind me asking. Tessa?? Tessa Telatha?? Why is he doing here now?? I'll scan the bunny part later after a cup of coffee. got two assignments tomolo then its mock exam in oct the final in nov.

[Renegade334]

Teletha 'Tessa' Testarossa - that's her entire name...
As for Bunny he, IIRC, somehow came up in a discussion with ARX7 and Al - and there was a scan (on page 9) showing him (he's the guy with the earring). But he died before ARX7's maiden battle so there's no chance seeing him in other novels. The only time he spoke was when Sousuke listened to a audio message he saved inside Al's computer, addressed to ARX7's designated pilot and warning the said person about Al's growth as an evolving AI.

[Missilebuster]

aight im confuzzled about all these "element" names are they all part of amalgam?

[Renegade334]

Yeah - they're using code names related to alchemy/chemistry and amalgams - namely, alloys of a certain matter and silver (Mr. Silver being the head of the organization, namely Leonard Testarossa). If you see someone referred to as, Mr. (insert metal name), then it's a sure fire it's an Amalgam leader.

In EoDbD, there is a sarcastic remark about Gauron not being a true part of Amalgam since his codename was about a certain metal that could never mix (chemically) with silver. Can't recall which matter exactly.

Mithril's name sort of mirrors Amalgam's (or/and vice versa) since it's the name of a (fictional) metal introduced in Lord of the Rings and which is a harder, more valuable version of...silver.
