One more - this is the underside of the Mercy Angel version, showing a more likely hardpoint configuration for its usual role - arcana resonators. With this setup, one of each type, at a minimum it has +30% qi, 3x qi regeneration speed, +25% effect of High and Dark arcana (spontaneously cast, qi-powered wizard-y spells and "ninjutsu,") casts each Wild Arcana twice per expended spell, does +5% damage with Body Arcana (qi-powered martial arts moves, specifically excluding fireballs and so on as they're Dark Arcana) and has 2% damage reduction from a reinforced "battle aura." With maximum upgrades, 10x that in all respects. (Yes, that means you can cast a Wild Arcana as a single action and have it actually cast ten times over - after as much as 5000 years to tweak the system, you should have learned a few tricks.)

High is blue, Wild is green, Dark is yellow, and Body is red. They also come in white, a Universal Resonator, but base for that is half-strength in all respects (meaning you only doublecast Wild Arcana 50% of the time) and maxes out at 8x the base, and in Black or Purple, which also boosts all types of qi powers to the same extent as the dedicated type but only for damage-inflicting (black) or healing/defense (purple) purposes. Still, it's a "better than bad" solution for a character who wants to improve all their qi-using powers while preserving hardpoints for conventional weapons, or for those frame designs with less than the standard four hardpoints. Since they're Light options, I could actually gang them up in pairs to go on the Kyrie's Medium wing points with an adapter, and that would allow using two more Light hardpoint packages on the front/hip hardpoints. A normal sidearm would not be out of order for a combat medic (though the Shootin' Iron plasma carbine as equipped on the others might be considered overkill for the purpose, I say there's no such thing) or else still more resonators, to max the magetillery potential.
For those familiar with Mekton Z+, they'd probably be some flavor of ESPer Lens, but difficult to quantify by that paradigm, since the system at scale-of-the-mecha is inherent in the setting's version of Merge Control. Not having that advantage is one of the reasons THIS fears Scanners (their human-to-machine process is a permanent variation of the system) and Merge-piloted mecha as much as they do.
- CD, yes, I realise nobody but me actually cares. It just helps me clarify my ideas to write them out, and this way there's a remote backup of sorts as well. And maybe someone will enjoy reading it.... somewhere....
