Virus Name: Feral Pestivirus
Primary Host: Sus Scrofa Domesticus, Domestic Pig
Presentation: Feral Pestivirus presents as acute pestivirus infection (weakness, fever, bowel issues) for approximately a week before deviating sharply. Proteins artificially encoded into the virus at this point reach saturation levels within the pig, removing a number of epigenetic locks on it's ancient genes. Musculature increases, fur becomes thick and bristled, tusks begin to erupt from the jaw. The metamorphosis is difficult, and requires significant feeding to complete, most commonly found among the bodies of its fellow pigs. The resulting creature is a giant among boars, hungry for fruit, crop, blood and bone alike.
Transmission: Feral Pestivirus is spread through contact with any bodily fluid of the infected animal, both before and after its transformation.

i was getting the vibe earlier that the keep it peaceful stuff was aimed at the gestalt cop side rather than the mob

i think maybe we should push mountains because its harder to push with mechs. if we go hilld and they go hills we get steamrolled, we go mountains they go hills maybe we both push, we both go mountains and maybe the overall wack-ness slows things down and we pull off a stalemate

Fer-Tortuga Mobile Entrenchment
Powered by a Beast class Medium Soul Engine, the Fer-Tortuga is a slower, heavier, and larger answer to the rumors of Sordian mechs outpacing our own. Wehl is not a land of small people, or small ambitions.

A Fer-Tortuga is a mobile hexagonal bunker carried on six squat legs, with rectangular firing slits across the front three faces. the basic hull of a Fer-Tortuga is a 7x7.5 meter metal platform with an overhead girder and rebar skeleton anchored at a centerpost and a raised housing at the rear for the Beast class engine running everything. Concrete slabs are cast arount this skeleton to form the tough outer shell with a minimum thickness of 8cm for the front and 4cm for the roof and rear sections.
Each Fer-Tortuga is armed with either three cannon and gunnery crew to operate them, or a single cannon and an infantry detachment plus supplies. In either case, the Fer-Tortuga is expected to be self-contained and carry its own ammunition and able to hold a position until resupply, with even a heavily damaged mech 'retiring' its engine by venting the soul out the rear end and becoming a stationary emplacement for as long as most of the superstructure is intact.

i can imagine a couple of configurations, but the important bit is whether it should have one or two people crewing it. is one enough if the weapons can be reloaded between engagements?

edit: ill start on a single person design. if it comes out bad we can put a sidecar with extra leg to hold the weapons
