Emodriver Frame Phileon final summary


Week 1:

With the EDF: Pop idol Nina Mars (by day mild-mannered civilian Phillip thanks to Tireseas) has a meet and greet with AEGISCorp and does a bit of unsanctioned exploration. Dr. Takumi Katsuragi, underappreciated genius, does not want to be disturbed, thank you very much, but keeps running into people in restricted areas. Dr. Charlize Durante works on the Phileon, fights with Dr. Katsuragi, and naps a bunch so Thorne can go back to Liminal Space. Aggressively Texan test pilot Dusty Houston logs some flight time, meets with the AEGISCorp CEO, and checks in on a new alien defector. Hotshot pilot Jailey Sula is hungry for revenge. Captain Sam Stone, mech whisperer, gives some (unwanted?) advice to maintenance techs and checks in on the Phileon. EDF Admiral Sara Caine has a really inconvenient relapse of Ganymede, looks into the missing Dara Eskandar, and sends some important correspondence. AEGISCorp CEO Corentin hires a new personal assistant.

Other infiltrators with the EDF: Naoya is not impressed with Adam Caine's whole situation. Deanna, an afflicted Aurigan among the humans, looks for researchers.

Other infiltrators with the Imperial forces: Commander Montrev tries his best to keep it together in the wake of his lovers' death, and offers a second chance to those infected by the human "bioweapon". Juni, a military doctor, checks on the new arrivals and their people in quarantine. Aura is right in the middle of the fighting, and then right in the middle of the paperwork. Mech pilots Bz'zirp (along with his young son) and Growl acquire some unexpected passengers in their heads.

Investigators with the EDF: Beatrice is having a pretty good time so far. Claudia, on the other hand, is not - though she does start a search for Dara Eskandar after learning that she's disappeared. Kanji keeps an eye on the stars. Shiro is right at home in this environment. Riddick does some research. Q'uila runs into some issues as a Xuil defector. Minerva does her best to blend in to a high-tech world. Matt does a bit of hacking. Daneel runs right into the First Law of Robotics. Drizzt is both human and thrilled to be in space. Ignis arrives at an inconvenient moment due to cybernetic eye maintenance and needs a little help. Minako joins the search for Dara, and Mothman wants a mech.

Investigators with the Imperial forces: Chloe does some last minute studying.

On the network, Hajime and Ryo check in with the other investigators. Ryo is having a ball, many others less so. Dara Eskandar's missing status and the Imperial forces' belief that they've been attacked by a bioweapon from Earth both come up. Thorne tells everyone about Kinji's ridiculous overlay.

Week 2:

With the ESDF: Admiral Sara Caine oversees the battle over Mars, and holds some mission critical meetings. Captain Sam Stone takes to the sky for the battle, and later gets saddled with guard duty. Dusty Houston pulls off a heist and sends out some spam emails. Nina Mars breaks out of protective custody and almost immediately gets abducted by aliens. Naoya de-infiltrates Dr. Katsuragi and Sento starts on his apology tour. Dr. Charlize Durante has some strange dreams, and then accidentally catches some people in her booby-trapped hangar due to the surprise attack. Jailey tries to figure out what's going on with the Phileon.

With the Imperials: General Hacet gives a rousing speech before the battle and later checks in with his spies. Princess Alta fights both with Hacet on the ground and the humans in her mech, and reaches out telepathically to someone familiar but still lost.

Other infiltrators with the ESDF: Familiar Face Dr. Lin Xiao works to keep Dara Eskandar hidden. Adam Caine is wounded in battle and later shares his suspicions about the Philia core with Sara. Deanna has a strange dream.

Other infiltrators with the Imperials: Bz'zirp deals with his son's molt but they're in top form by the battle at Mars. Aura isn't pleased about the proposed upgrades, and semi-accidentally acquires a hostage. Montrev finds out he's contracted X-Pressure and is not happy about it. Growl heads on his spy mission, and Gil tries to help the other side.

Investigators with the ESDF: McGonagall and her totally-not-animate-statue robots take over logistics. Riddick searches for Dara and gets teleported around by a baby. Eren joins the battle in Titan form. Shiro participates in a tournament and later a battle, and makes a deal of sorts with Hacet. Kanji has his eyes on the spam messages. Yukino does a lot of perspective-reading, including the Phileon itself. Q'uila has a chat with some spam messages as well.

Investigators with the Imperials: Chloe joins in the voices complaining about the new self-destruct mechanisms. Bismuth takes a more direct approach and installs faulty mechanisms, but still gets potentially tapped by Hacet as a spy.

On the network: Ignis makes a post about the attack on Mars, which prompts a bad decision from Prompto. Kanji and Beatrice have questions about the influx of spam messages. Yukino reports the results of her perspective reads on Houston and Katsuragi. Sento reports his de-infiltration. Naoya shares some revelations from a conversation that Adam Caine had with Sara and finds out who shot him down. Shiro reports his deal with Hacet and the task force that he's joined with Matt, which aims to end the war. Liara reveals that three Arcana are competing on this jaunt, and Travelers start to realize how close to the end of the game they are.

Week 3:

The ceasefire is making Jailey anxious. Nina spends the early part of the week in alien quarantine, but later escapes and requests an audience with the Admiral. Sento struggles with wanting to help while being in the body of a person known to have committed war crimes. He also de-infiltrates Yakumo (AEGIS CEO Corentin), which leads to its own host of problems. Dusty realizes he's compromised and tries to take off, but gets de-infiltrated by Yukki. Mid-week, Admiral Caine gets a trusted (or required, in the case of Katsuragi) group together and frees the Aurigan Consort from the Phileon's core.

Naoya has to visit with Adam Caine's family. Bz'zirp attends a funeral for the war dead. Growl is interviewed by various military types in captivity. Aura checks on Nina Mars and gets an offer from the princess.

Minako and Riddick try to approach Dara's potential location. Shiro upgrades his mech and researches the original Tharsis event. Kanji is still working on the spam problem, and Thorne tells him that she's located the code key book.

On the network, Yakumo (and Kinji, later) announces his de-infiltration. Kanji tries to stay on top of the radio chatter. Kiga tries to figure out where Pod’s gotten to.

Week 4:

Sento is not having fun being the weapons-testing kind of mad scientist, and with Thorne's help vacates Dr. Katsuragi. Alta's consort is safely returned, accompanied by Sam and Dusty. Nina isn't very impressed by the rumours, though her work on the anchor testing proves that a few of them might be true. Jailey tries to deal with a rogue squadron. Dusty faces suspicion from all quarters, and has a confrontation with Hacet. Hacet shows off his new S-Tech in a rousing speech and sends coded messages to his agents.

Raidou, who was infiltrating as pilot Aura, regains his memories and takes to the network with some announcements about Hacet and plans moving forward. Afterward, he places a curse on Hacet.

Yukino investigates AEGIS and ends up having to drop Satan on some guys who don't like that.

Week 5:

Admiral Caine issues an ultimatum, and gets a surprising message in return. Hacet tries to cast the blame for Alta's death on others, but ends up tried and executed for the crime.

Juni disciplines the rebels, but then develops symptoms herself.

McGonagall helps with last-minute preparations for Valiant's mission. Maria sends some ghostly messages.

Meanwhile on the network, Sento, who hasn't been paying attention, announces that he has a cure for X-Pression in Aurigans. Allura doesn't publicly announce Alta's death, but her presence on the network implies it.
