    Summary

    Jazz is a pilot of tons of metal in the vague shape of a man. He kills alien monsters. Then he meets more aliens... Who are also tons of metal in the shape of men! a bunch of foreign mecha pilots. He works for a multi national force, okay? Running into a group of Mecha pilots who don't speak your language isn't entirely unexpected after accidentally falling through a breach or two! Where is he, anyway?

    Summary

    Ulchtar is an aerospace engineer working under MECHA, the world's largest anti-alien defense corporation. (If you asked him, he'd even say he's their *finest* aerospace engineer.) He's led their space program since its inception. But his career takes a nosedive after Jazz, one of their best mech pilots, vanishes during MECHA's very first space mission, and his boss decides his talents are no longer necessary.

    If he's going to survive, he'll need a lot of help. And if that help comes in the form of a giant robot from space that predates human civilization, who the hell is he to complain?

    Set in the TF Mecha Universe/Mecha Pilot Jazz AU.

    Summary

    “Nice shot, man!” Jazz yells, Bebop’s speakers carrying his voice.

    The mech blinks at him and scowls. Which, wow, okay, it has a face. Mouth, eyes, a nose—the works. Well, one of the eyes isn’t lit up, but still. It can blink! Jazz couldn’t even get the clearance to have Bebop’s visor display emojis, and not for the lack of trying. Meanwhile, this guy gets a whole, expressive face and—holy shit, are those teeth?

    Summary

    It's three hundred and two years after humanity lost to the Kaiju and two hundred and twenty one since the Kaiju left. Not that it matters to Hermann. In relation to following a neurotic genetic experiment across whats left of the Northern American continent while dodging alien predators and hostile subgroups of humans, its possibly the least helpful thing to keep in mind.
