ac6 drabble: unsolicitated advice

okay i got some prompts already, so first one is "dolmayan and rusty get a moment to talk about their doubts to eachother" from @rend7

this ended up waaay longer than the few paragraphs i expected fhfh thanks for the prompt, and i hope you enjoy!

Unsolicitated Advice

"You're lucky I'm not being supervised right now."

Dolmayan didn't really respond to Rusty's idle comment, the blocky outline of his BASHO AC stark in the thick snow flurry they both found themselves in. Snow that was rapidly covering up the remnants of Rusty's mission: intercepting an RLF raid.

It was difficult to get the balance right, he could admit. He was a spy and he was a Rubiconian through-and-through, but his time on Earth had taught him to compartmentalise his soul and morals into easily stored boxes.

'Ruthless calculation, that's what it means to be a spy,' Uncle had told him all those years ago, with a wry twist of his mouth.

'You can’t let yourself be human here,' O'Keeffe had told him only a year ago, when Rusty realised just how much he had to draw and quarter his heart to survive in the Vespers.

The wrecked MTs had carried the ambitious hopes of a few hot-blooded Rubiconians, wanting to achieve at least one bloody nose against the Corps. It was just bad luck for the both of them that Arquebus had him in the area already, and that Rusty had no choice but to kill them ruthlessly, so they avoided the worst fate of re-education while he got to maintain his cover.

A clean up squad was only ten minutes behind him, after all. Any ejectees would've been rounded up before they even managed to get a mile away - especially in this weather.

"Go," Rusty said. "Now."

"...or you'll kill me too, child of Rubicon?"

Rusty squelched the urge to groan in frustration, conscious of the time pressure on him (less than ten minutes before he had to act, with eyes on him), and said: "I didn't do this because I enjoyed it."

Dolmayan just sighed, tiredly. Uncle had said that ever since he'd been sprung from Redgun custody, he hadn't quite been the same since. Ten years ago, Rusty remembered Dolmayan as a passionate firebrand, whipping the Rubiconians in a patriotic fervour, willing to throw themselves on as many swords as they had to to liberate their home, the Coral...

Inefficient, Uncle had complained (quietly, under his breath). This man seemed like burnt out charcoal in comparison, his booming voice now a raspy mutter, lacklustre and exhausted.

Maybe even he was starting to lose hope of where this war was headed.

"I'll go," Dolmayan finally said, "but first, a word of advice, from a man who's made his mistakes and regrets them every day."

Rusty couldn't help but frown. While he had never personally bought into the mystique of Father Dolmayan and his connection to the 'Coral's Voice', as others stated him to have, he understood that the Liberation Front had only lasted this long - spiritually - thanks to him. While the cautious part of him doubted that any advice Dolmayan would give him would be relevant, he wasn't too prideful to turn a deaf ear.

"What is it?"

"Be wary not to tunnel vision on the dream ahead of you," Dolmayan said. "I know the mission Flatwell placed on your shoulders, the burdens you have carried to get this far... you want a free Rubicon, but you should be mindful of the price that will come at."

"...I think that ship's long sailed, Father Dolmayan," Rusty murmured. "But thanks for the advice anyway."

His HUD beeped. Incoming comms from the Arquebus MT squad.

Before he could draw breath to tell Dolmayan to get out of here - now, the BASHO AC across from him was already turning and boosting away, the eerie, ghostly crimson fire trailing after it as the leader of the Liberation Front vanished into the snow.

Thumb Dolmayan/ Ring Freddie headcanons:

Dolmayan and Freddie a rather introverted and prefer to spent their limited free time together, away from anyone else.

Freddie is both polite and charming and maintains a good relationship with the other members of the Liberation Front, but he doesn't have a particular close bond with anyone. He rarely departs from Dolmayans side.

Dolmayan is cherished and respected by everyone, but quiet a few people, especially the younger generations of RLF members also regard him as a bit of an eccentric and struggle to understand him and his works. Out of all the members of the Liberation Front has he known Middle Flatwell the longest and they are close friends.

Before the Fires of Ibis, Dolmayan worked as a mechanic or rather junker in the grid's of Rubicon, where he barely managed to make ends meet. Despite his harsh life, he fell in love with Rubicon and considers the planet to be his home.

Dolmayan began to write to process his past. He carries a lot of guilt from his early life as a Doser and the trauma of having witnessed the destruction of Rubicon through the Fires of Ibis.

His relationship with Seria is also something he wants to come to terms with through his writing. But he struggles to put his thoughts into words. Any text detailing their shared thoughts remain fragments.

While Dolmayan was the one to found the Rubicon Liberation Front did he never desire to act as its leader and he unofficially retired from this position many years ago due to his health issues.

During a severe crash in his early years as an AC pilot did he injure both of his legs. He manage to recover without any complications, but he uses crutches to move around more easily and to reduce pain. He is also short-sighted and wears glasses.

Dolmayan spends most of his time writing, either on pieces dedicated to the the Liberation Front, the Coral Mysticism or his own personal thoughts. He also documents the continuous struggle of the RLF to survive on Rubicon.

He is very dedicated to his work and will spent hours pouring his thoughts and energy into one draft. Freddie is always the first person to hear or read the contents of his works.

Before Dolmayan met Freddie he used to isolate himself a lot and rarely spoke to anyone, even his closer friends. He kept his troubles to himself and internalized a lot of his guilt, but their conversations helped him to unravel the regret and anxiety he feels

Freddie wasn't originally an AC pilot or a prominent member of the Liberation Front. He worked in the logistics but became more involved in the affairs of the RLF when he met Dolmayan. At the time, he was burnt out and questioning the meaning of his work. Meeting Dolmayan and supporting him ins his daily life gave him a new purpose.

It was only natural for Freddie to also follow him onto the battlefield. He turned out to be quiet proficient at AC piloting and also learned how to maintain his AC from Dolmayan.

Despite his calm demeanour is Freddie still a very troubled man. He worries a lot about Dolmayan, the future of the RLF, the safety of his comrades -speaking with Dolmayan, listening to his voice calms him down. (He still has a tendency to fret over Dolmayan's health.)

Ring Freddie's description reads:

"A warrior of the Rubicon Liberation Front.

Paramour and personal attendant to Dolmayan, Freddie maintains an aloof distance from his fellow comrades.

An admirer of the inner world of Dolmayan's mind, he entered the battlefield so that the father of the Liberation Front would never need be alone."

This is the only canonical relationship in armored core 6 and it's gay!

So, I've gotten every piece of Father Dolmayan's writings in the game and, in the context of NG++ they're really giving me Thoughts. Rambling under the cut.

He was in Contact with a Coral wave for an indeterminate yet prolonged period of time at an indeterminate point in his life. This Contact seems to have been brought about by his consumption of Coral, most likely as part of his food since the RLF relies on Coral-fed mealworms for sustenance, per a log at the BAWS arsenal as well as the first of Dolmayan's writings. This lines up with ALLMIND stating that the Rubiconians also exploit the Coral, eg as a food source on an otherwise barren planet.

Regardless of the source of his Contact, his partner was a lot like Ayre. She had a feminine gender presentation, inasmuch as a Coral wave has a gender presentation, sought symbiosis between Coral and humanity, and ultimately respects her Contact partner's wishes with regards to that. Additionally, she and Ayre both have a nuanced view on humanity's use of Coral. Ayre, while seeming horrified or disgusted by the Sea Spider's use of Coral as fuel, never comments on Raven deploying with a Coral generator and even deploys with one herself on the occasions she pilots an AC. Indeed, if anything she seems sad that the generators put Coral in harm's way, given her reaction to the destruction of the Ice Worm as Coral voices being lost. Dolmayan's unnamed Contact partner reassured him of the Coral that "there will always be plenty" as he imbibed it.

Now where it gets interesting is that Dolmayan was, at some point, in a position to initiate Coral Release yet did not. In his words, tragedy would befall the world of mankind if he had went through with it. And if he didn't go through with it, well, he was from before the Fires of Ibis so it's possible that not going through with it led to the collapse, depending on when these were written. Regardless, this puts into context why he would attack Raven at Xylem and call them a threat to Rubicon, even if they had consistently sided with the RLF when given the option to do so. In NG++ Raven is, in all likelihood unless you have them choose another ending again, pursuing something that Dolmayan believes would cause tragedy. And that's just interesting. Raven and Ayre take his and his partner's place as being the catalyst for Coral Release, but go through with it instead.

When Raven goes through with Coral Release, they're washed into the Coral flow like what nearly happened at Watchpoint Delta but now the Coral has been released into space, uncontained. But is that symbiosis? It looks like consumption but from the other side, new waves being added to the Coral tide. Or maybe it isn't, maybe it's humanity's works combined with Coral's reach. I dunno. I keep going back and forth on how I feel about that ending.

[lostbrazilian]

I've had an epiphany ya'll. Spoilers ahead

So I was thinking. The one thing every major party in Rubicon (the Corps, RLF, PCA, etc) can agree with is that Coral Liberation/Collapse is a bad thing. No one wants the Coral to spread freely outside of Rubicon, the Corps at most want to control its flow to the rest of the world, while the Overseers are so scares of it that they're willing to burn it all to the ground, again.

But here's the thing. If we follow the Overseer's plan, we cause the "Fires of Raven", called that way because 621 aka Raven was the one responsible for it. But if we apply the same reasoning to the Fires of Ibis it doesn't make sense, because the Ibis Series was created to protect the Coral, right?

Wrong

In the 3rd ending we learn that the Coral Liberation is caused by a "resonance" in the Coral, which is somehow related to 621 and Ayre's contact, seeing as they are the trigger to the Liberation. And in the second engebret tunnel mission, we find a text log from Professor Nagai of the Research Institute where he noticed that the Coral was resonating, leading him to deploy the Ibis.

And that's the thing: the Ibis wasn't built to protect the Coral, but to destroy it. To prevent a Coral Colapse, ie the scape of Coral into space. The Fires of Ibis weren't the result of negligence or an act of redemption by the Institute, it was a deliberate act to stop the Coral from being free by burning everything to the ground.

And we also know who was responsible for the resonance: Father Dolmayan. He's the only other character that we know for sure has made Contact with a Coral mind, and also one of the few that knows what Coral Liberation truly means. So I bet that he was the one who triggered the Liberation somehow, following the advice of whoever made Contact with him, and that indirectly led to the Fires of Ibis. That would also explain why Dolmayan is so afraid of Coral Liberation, as in his eyes all that did was cause a great calamity.

Took a long break from tumblr due to a sudden but welcome bout of hyperfocus on writing fanfic. Now that it's done and I'm posting, I'm gonna indulge in some self-promotion.

Someone is Always Moving on the Surface

Summary:

A brief history of the RLF and its two most significant leaders: Father Thumb Dolmayan and Uncle Middle Flatwell. Originally written for the SOLFED AU, but compliant with NG/NG+ canon.

Fic is currently complete at 11 chapters, 3 of which are posted. I'll continue to post 1 to 2 chapters each day while I finish editing my longer work.

I have the headcanon that coral is a planet spanning symbiotic spore based communal organism that "connects" to its hosts via parasitic spore infection, i.e 621 Raven, Iquazu, Father Dolmayan. Which means that when Ayre is "looking something up" or "accessing the database" what she's actually probably doing is connecting with other little coral spore clusters inhabiting other little hosts and getting info that way.

Even more chilling, coral has been loose on the planet for long enough that there's probably at least a spore or two in every living thing planetwise.

Getting the combat log in eliminate the PCA squads was so annoying. Though also kind of fitting to do it on NG++ because I killed Father Dolmayan and Ring Freddie was not happy I killed his man.

We're all weird little fellas killing for our man (and/or eldritch energy wife)
