Of Pride and Power Interlude Search for Avalon Part II


Part II

I hope readers were surprised with the various revelations and technological advances from the Avalon facility, including the introductions of battle androids with the consciousness of the teenage pages of Camelot's knights. For various readers, I love mechas and I wish they were used more in gay fiction, but alas, it's very hard to incorporate them into your storylines. Adding Mechas, my story is science fiction and science fantasy set at the end of the medieval era; can you imagine how these guys will perform on the battlefield?

Gundam series is one of Japan's most famous anime/manga, which highlighted various aspects of war, heroism, sacrifice, and ideals. There are many variants of the concept, but I find the idea of mechas fighting for honor and chivalric ideals to be something charming.

The revelations such as the use of a Neutron bomb, aka radiation bomb to kill organic life, and limiting his technology for use by himself and Omegas opens some interesting questions about Robert's past incarnation as Merlin, his actions aren't entirely flawless. In trying to resurrect his lover, who is now Eli, he had to do and face a lot of things. Robert is not his past self, but he is still the same person in terms of mindset and persona, you can't change a human soul. 

Note: We finally learn what method Eli is displacing matter into the future by, "Phantom Energy", negative kinetic energy. 

I am adding little tidbits about Matsudeira Takechiyo throughout these last chapters, since his conflict will affect a lot of other players in the big map of the world. Remember, Eli and friends are just facing off against Western Charter and Corporate Consortium renegades, there are still Chinese, Russian, and Indian factions in this story. 

As for the push for Omegas, why are they so important for the salvation of humanity? Why is this solution good for human beings?

Notes:

1. I made several references in this story to Anime, but the one thing people should have noticed is that I openly quoted lines from Disney's 1994 Gargoyles series. To be honest, I was inspired by the show a lot as kid and it made me a lover of English myths and stories. It was the first cartoon show that I watched incorporating the science fantasy elements of magic and technology together. I was inspired by the airship of Cybertronics Corporation in Gargoyles to imagine the Sky Fortress of Papal/German alliance. 

2. Despite its lack of technical prominence during WWII, in 1940 Italy did develop one of the world's first geothermal electric generators and developed functional binary cycle systems that are still modelled on today.
