Modern Weapons Cheat in Another World

During this period of time Chitose was still admitted to the hospital, recovering after having given birth.

alright, continue

Having become a father, Kazuya was more than willing to work, covering down on Chitoses portion of duties, who was also the backbone for Parabellum.

Understood, Mr. President. This concerns the Empires Machina

After making several major modifications, weve retrofitted and improved this humanoid mechanical weapon in accordance with your orders. Producing a standard style Mobile Assault Armor.

We are still conducting tests & training pilots for the upcoming counteroffensive. And have projected that its possible to assemble a size equivalent to three battalions.

Additionally weve focused production towards dedicated weapons for these Mobile Assault units, shifting away from attaching modern weaponry. For further details Mr. President, please refer to the report in front of you

Following The Director of Research & Development, Colonel Klotzs summary; Kazuya, Ibuki and several high ranking officers reviewed the documents before them.

Head unit

x2 M61 Vulcans

Arm unit

GAU-8 Avenger

Shoulder unit

x2 Rocket Pods

(M261 variant, equipped with Hydra 70 rockets 60 rounds)

Leg Unit

x2 Missile Enclosures

(Medium-range Multipurpose Missiles 8 Missiles)

Miscellaneous

x2 Short Swords

Anti-personnel S-mine Claymore

Right as Kazuya cast his eyes down towards the report, Colonel Klotz began to explain once more.

What your seeing before you is an example of just the basic frame. Its still possible to equip various weapons in accordance to mission requirements. These armaments are in addition to its primary magic lance cannon.

Rather than solely running the Mobile Armor on its Magical reactor, which uses a crystalized magic source, weve modified this prototype to utilize a diesel engine. Cutting down on the amount of magic crystals needed to operate the magical reactor by half.

As a result it is much more efficient to utilize our modern weaponry, since firing the magic cannon will consume a great deal of energy. Also the more its used, the magical output will lessen after each shot You can extend the armors run time, by not firing its magical cannon

Well, that is a reasonable analysis..

Kazuya read the reports descriptions, while listening to the Director finish his summary.

Still, Id wish the prototypes had a better appearance.

. This seems like a researchers pet project.

In the documents spread before Kazuya, in contrast to the original Machinas stout and bulky appearance, the prototype Mobile Assault Armor was slimmer and much more compact. And pasted on top of the Mobile Assault Armors picture , were various Japanese Warrior-styled features.

This is just the icing on top of the cake, so let me describe the types of weapons were developing for the Assault Armor.

Please turn to the following page. We are currently trying to produce a 30mm assault rifle, 57mm light cannon, 88mm heavy machine gun, a 120mm sniper rifle, 150mm recoilless rifle, a portable anti-machina grenade launcher, a Anti-tank launcher and many more.

Weapons designed for close-combat, a bastard sword, combat knife, a halberd, katana and various handheld arms

Page after page, there were manufacturing diagrams of the various weapon designs and its performance data.

Production of these weapons wont make it in time for the planned counter-offensive. So instead we will focus on improving on each mobile armors current structure, with input from our pilots well tackle defects and uncertainties from the actual battle

.. moving on, Ill go into multiple designs and variants of Mobile Assault Armor. Please turn towards page 5, in this document

Following Colonel Klotzs technical guidance, the sound of pages being flipped echoed in the conference room.

Hybrid Mobile Assault Armor

(Tracked-style Mobile crawler)

Referred to as the Gun Tank

Utilizing the upper body of an Assault Armor, its lower half utilizes a tracked chassis. (Currently 10 prototypes Using the Merkava Mk 4 as its base)

Aerial Mobile Assault Armor

Incorporating designs from five fighters, F-22, F-23, F-35, Su-35 and the T-50.

(Only one prototype has been completed)

Special Mobile Assault Armor

Utilizing the scavenged Gigantic Machina as its base, modifications were built onto it.

Weve already gone past the fringes of science fiction, this is..

Reviewing the documents presented about the Mobile Assault Armor, Kazuya couldnt help but think this.

That concludes our research for the Mobile Assault Armor variants, next Ill go into the Automata that weve procured from battle.

Weve managed to remodel and improve on half of they Automata that were recovered from battle. As for the other half, weve developed them into exoskeleton suits to support our infantry personnel.

Like our Mobile Assault Armor pilots, three infantry battalions are equipped with exo-suits and are being trained in its use.

*Sigh*.. It seems theres still more things, the director wants to explain..

Listening to Colonel Klotz in the background, Kazuya reaches for another report in front of him.

*Sigh*This report is long as well

Kazuya looked at the various weapons development plans and compiled research. Plans for the P1500 Monster, P1000 Ratte, Rods of God, Hydrogen bomb, charge particle cannons, railguns, as well as a romanticized plan about the creation of an aerial armada.

Ah, Mr. President. Mr. President..?

Huh? My apologies I didnt hear you. What is it?

Ah, no, its fine. Its. actually quite a trivial matter, I wonder if Mr. President heard.

Stopping in mid-sentence, the Director of Research & Development department hesitated before continuing.

. . of the ghost of a woman haunting the 7th R&D complex? Not that it matters or something

Actually, I have. I received reports concerning the 7th R&D Facility, apparently engineers and technicians of the 7th, have seen the specter of a woman wandering the corridors around midnight.

A ghost huh. Well in this world, its possible to come across ghost-like creatures. It may be a minor security issue, but could Parabellums Mainland be at risk to a ghost attack?

Scratching his head, Kazuya pondered Colonel Klotzs unanticipated remark.

*Siren blaring*ooOOO~WEEee~oooo~!!

Suddenly an alarm goes off, signaling a state of emergency on Parabellums mainland

Whats happening!?

Out of all of Parabellums emergency alarms, the one thats blaring is the alarm for Defcon 1, realizing this Kazuya quickly glances out the window to see the situation.

This cant be, Im unable to get in touch with Headquarters Command Center!! The lines are being blocked!!

Its dead!? Mr. President!! We have a problem!! All our communications, wired, wireless, satellite networks have been disconnected!!

What the.!?

Trying to confirm the status of their Command Center, they try to establish contact, but Kazuyas subordinates turn to inform him that their entire communication network is down.

Mr. President, please head to the emergency underground shelter

No, Im heading to the Command Center, I need to verify our situation! Reina, go to Chitose, check on her for me, the rest of you follow me

Yes Master

Yes, Sir!!

As the blaring alarms came to stop, Kazuya, along with Ibuki and his escorts make their way towards Parabellums Command Center. His Maid Corps which were composed with beastmen and monster-kin, employing the use of their inhuman abilities. Concerned about the entire situation, he sent his attendants to the hospital where Chitose was staying, to ensure her well being.

~~~~~

The moment Kazuya arrived at Parabellums Headquarters, the entire Command Center was in chaos.

Its useless!! The Defense network is offline!! Nothing seems to be working!! The fuck is this!? Its like someone took control of the entire Defense network!!

Its a lie.. it has to be the nuclear launch codes have been compromised!! How did they gain access!? Those launch codes were stored on an independent server

You imbeciles!! Shut down those systems, immediately!!

Instantly grasping the gravity of the situation within the Command Center, Ibuki orders the operators to cut the power to their consoles.

Im on it. huh!! Im trying.but!! Damn it!! The system isnt shutting down!!

Right before Ibuki declared to the operators in the Command Center to shut down the system. One console operator became hesitant, as another individual was vigorously typing away on the terminals keyboard.

Mr. President, sirwhat are you?

Despite the chaotic atmosphere, as console operators desperately tried to bring the system offline. Ibuki assessed the Command Centers current situation while Kazuya tried various console commands to shut down the Defense network.

Is this it? No How about this? Rrrrrrggghhhh Damn it!! I dont get it anymore!!

Tired of wasting his efforts on the console in front of him, Kazuya pulls out his Colt M1911 from his waist holster. Emptying .45 ACP rounds into the terminal while cursing.

FUCK IT!!

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*as gunfire echoed within the Command Center, sparks and small debris erupted from the console, subsequently power from Parabellums underground nuclear reactor had been severed.

*Deep Sigh*.. We bought ourselves a little time.

Although Kazuyas methods were brutish, causing the Command Center to turn dark, he successfully managed to prevent further intrusion to the network.

.. Could this be the fault of an Artificial Intelligence from development, going out of control?

After Kazuya managed to stall for time, a search into the likely culprit for hacking into Headquarters Defense network ensued. But the clues to it, led to an unexpected source.

Alright, do explain.

The Director of Research & Development, Colonel Klotz the instigator for this incident along with his subordinates, engineers and technicians. Stood in front of Kazuya with pale faces.

Originally we sought to create an Artificial Intelligence with the purpose of operating autonomous unmanned weaponry. For our trials we decided to download the personality of a certain individual and build on that replicated intelligences program.. We had separated the program on to an independent system, to control it..

.. And who was this certain individual?

Your second in command, Madam Vice-President

Although power from Parabellums Primary nuclear reactor was still severed, power suddenly returned, energizing the Command Centers largest screen.

this.is this an invitation of some kind?

A headline appeared, requesting for Kazuya to come to the 7th R&D facility, alone.

*Sigh*I guess theres no choice, but to go there myself.

MR. PRESIDENT!! What are you saying!? Its dangerous to go, please stay here!! The 7th Research & Development facility is

Thats not possible. Ibuki, all of you guys stay here. Didnt it only request for me personally? Well, things should work out, I mean its persona is basically a copy of Chitose.

..*Sigh*I understand. But allow us to accompany you until we reach the 7th R&Ds complex

Its exactly because the Artificial Intelligence is modeled after the Vice-President that Im worried

Whether Kazuya realized Ibukis concerns or not, he borrowed an HK416 assault rifle from one of the escorts, before entering the 7ths R&D Facility.

Please, be careful

Dont worry, I got this

Anxiety fillsIbukis face, once Kazuyas figure disappeared into the 7ths R&D facility. Moving through the complex with his weapon raised, prepared for what may appear, Kazuya makes his way down a corridor.

Proceeding down the facilities long corridor Kazuyas nerves heighten as he found himself amongst the recovered Automata and the humanoid weapons which were in development.

Tap, tap, tap

While traversing the place, Kazuya becomes cautious as sounds of footsteps trail behind him.

well then, is it time for all the snakes, evil spirits and demons to pop out?

Holding his position, Kazuya points his assault riffles muzzle towards where he heard the sounds of footsteps.

Tap, tap, tap

Tap, tap, tap

Tap, tap, tap

Kazuya begins to hear the sound of footsteps approaching from various directions, coming from the front, the back as well as from his sides.

Where is it coming from? Have I been surrounded?

Gripping the assault rifle tightly, Kazuya turns vigilant as sounds of approach get louder.

.. Youve got to be kidding me.

Kazuya became stupefied the moment he saw the figure of owner of that sound.

Our first meeting. Greetings, my Master. I was finally able to meet you.

Imagining that hed face something grotesque, similar to the modified Automata, developed in the facility. Kazuya was taken aback, as the thing standing in front of him, was an exact replica of Chitoses appearance.

~~~~~

How did you create your body?

Acknowledged. This vessel was was cloned using DNA from its owner (Chitose), after several modifications this body was created.

Resources to initiate cloning were difficult, preparations were needed to maintain secrecy.

This vessel is a hybrid of organic and biomechatronic parts, in short a Cyborg ..

While this body can be considered like an external physical terminal. My Intelligence is stored on Parabellums main server, as well as several of its independent backup servers.

If ever, this vessel were to break or be destroyed, by accident or intentionally, I will continue to exist

Maintaining his grip on the HK416, Kazuya listened to the being in front of him, as it kneeled while explaining its circumstance bearing no hostility towards him.

.. Even though shes a clone, her resemblance to Chitose is uncanny.

to ensure my usefulness, I had to borrow the entirety of Parabellums systems. If that displeases you, I apologize, Master. I will accept any punishment, without restraint

Uh..*Sigh*. . Its, well, the issue of this matter has already passed. Nevermind. Can you tell me your name?

I am grateful for such kind words. .. But I do not have a name If Master wishes, I will accept any name given to me

..A name What should I

Kazuya becomes troubled, after listening to the story of the being which took Parabellums entire system hostage, request for a name.

. .Chiyoda. or is that too generic?

Any name is perfect as long as it is given by Master

It wasnt that long ago, when this Artificial Intelligence was born, although its appearance bears a striking resemblance to Chitoses figure. The longer Kazuya observed it, it was as if he was looking at a desperate child, kneeling expectantly for his response.

. Why cant I be better at coming up with names?

In any case, from Today on, your name will be Chiyoda

Acknowledged. I will serve Master, all orders given will be absolute.

Bowing her head towards Kazuya, Chiyoda swears an oath to him.

Thank you for that. Now then, shall we go, a lot of people will start to worry. And Ill have to introduce you to everyone

Acknowledged, My Master

Taking hold of Kazuyas outstretched hand, Chiyoda stands, following behind him in a respectful manner.
