Mechwarrior Conspiracy Theory Fanfic!
In this installment, Shadow and Wraith delve deep into the fever swamp of Mechwarrior conspiracy theory. The topic for this week is Ghost Knights “those rumored Knights of the Sphere who supposedly lurk in the shadows, watching us all, and reporting back to the Exarch who’s been naughty, and who’s been nice.”
In addition to some well-written banter between the two futuristic moonbats, the article also covers some of the various intelligence services within the Mechwarrior universe: “The Draconis Combine has its ISF, the Lyran Commonwealth have their Heimdall and Loki, the Federated Suns has MI5, and the Capellan Confederation has its Maskirovka.”
The two go on to elaborate a theory in which all of the various factions tearing apart the Republic of the Sphere – Draconis Combine, Stormhammers, Bannson’s Raiders, etc, are actually just puppets of the Republic, with Ghost Knight intelligence ops pulling their strings. It’s a fun bit of counterfactual history, really. . .
