Heh. Not more than a couple days ago I started rereading some of this collection of mini-stories. Then I got distracted by something else, and I come back to find they've been nicely compiled and there's a little bit of new material.
Fun. :)

Oh, and then I finally decided to do something I should've done a long time ago and draw some fanart. Opted for Emilia, ala Defiance, for...well, no particular reason.

(dubious about posting a straight image link, but there we are.)

Apologies for any inconsistant details. Referancing for coolant jackets and neurohelmets seems somewhat sparse, and I don't trust Mechcommander's interpretation very highly.
