Cryptid of the Day: Gerit
Description: It seems every country has their own Bigfoot, even the western part of Kenya has one. The Gerit is described as reddish-yellow, lives in caves, and steals honey from beehives. It is also known as the Tiondo and the N’gugu.

One of the mercenaries breaks the formation, shifting their thruster array to boost upwards out of the spray - all the better to squirt a glowing trail of tracer rounds at the Könist scout plane. The Lance cannon its armed with is the standard weapon of the Squire-Pattern light mech - a long, 5 barrelled rotary cannon shrouded within a light casing, as much for aesthetics as for weatherproofing. A weapon of that fire-rate is uncommon on mech platforms and usually reserved for ground support aircraft.
The offworlder's mission's layout would have preferred that they were undetected until closer to their target area, but upon being discovered, attacks of opportunity against spotter elements were considered acceptable as long as they didn't diminish the overall objective: Terror on the Könist River and proof the Hydropower company couldn't properly protect its jurisdiction.
Finished my third art challenge! This time, for Gerit. ^^ Which one is your favorite? What other styles would you like to see me do next? Reblogs appreciated.
And in case anyone who doesn't know Gerit and is wondering why all these look like the same mugshots instead of slightly varied poses, that just how Gerit is. 💙
Tally looked beautiful with both guys and girls during the Beltane dance and my bi heart couldn’t handle it
And I nearly lost it when Gerit practically dropped one of his partners while trying to find Tally during the dance.
God I couldn’t stop feeling bad for Raelle throughout the entire episode but I was glad that her witches, while they had different approaches, tried to make her feel better
I fucking love Abigail okay???
Oh and fuck Scylla and her continuous lies and manipulation towards Raelle with the pointy end of the devil’s pitchfork
Könist Hydropower maintains a strong grip over the Könist itself, however smaller waterways and tributaries surrounding it are much more lightly policed, allowing shore pirates and smugglers to set up camp. It also allows for military operations (usually done by deniable mercenary assets) to traverse such areas untouched, allowing microstates bordering the Könist to scrap with each other.
In this case, the deniables are a pair of off-worlders in 'Squire' light mechs. An uncommon site on Sond, but not completely unheard of. What *is* unheard of are the microstates bordering the Könist being able to raise the funds to hire such exotic mercs, especially when the river itself supports a modest array of more practical private military groups.
Whatever the case, off-worlders of that calibre near the Könist spells bad news and the hydropower company itself could be riled into conflict, bringing with it not just its own police force, but military assets from corporate allies, heating up a border penetration into a full out shooting war.

Mercenary outfits aren't uncommon in system-11. With rampant piracy and the system itself being a gatehub, the interests of many are represented by various soldiers of fortune. In this case, a young noble from the Kingdom of Gerit fights for the Reconstruction Movement of Sond - a polity attempting to restate the now exiled noble class as the major power of the region.
With the large amounts of pirate outfits, 'Deniable' work is a common posting: taking out civilian infrastructure like farms and railways while being outside the direct purview of the military which hired them, allowing said military a degree of separation from such acts. Because of this, mercenaries have an especially poor reputation, particularly in border towns.
Turboprop recon aircraft from Könist Hydropower's patrol division. Generally, they're only armed with a pair of 25mm gun-pods for knocking out targets of opportunity on their surveys of surrounding river-land. When an interloper is discovered, information is relayed back to patrol command so they can decide upon an appropriate response.
Two off-world mercenaries brazenly ignoring Könist's claim over the river and making no threat to hide their presence is extremely unusual, and the two-man plane crew debate whether to just spray the pair to send a message. Operating procedures overrule it though, and Pat-Com is notified. In the meantime, the plane flies alongside, using its chin-mounted camera to continue monitoring the pair.
Gerit's 'Squire' light mech is an exotic design, built around an array of powerful thrusters allowing for sustained flight. In Gerit itself, they're often used as scouts for more substantial forces, however outside, they're used for all manner of vicious strike actions by mercenaries.
Gerit itself is widely considered a backwater - like New Wheel, they were one of the first to develop high-performance light mechs as a countermeasure to the previously-thought indestructible heavy mechs various warlords had acquired post-devastation. Unlike New Wheel, this defeat of the warlords led not to any unification, but a different breed of warlords at the head of hosts of light, vicious machines, on the move constantly and devouring everything in their path like locusts.
This stunted the redevelopment on the already borderline-habitable planet of Gerit, and stopped them being able to return to the stars in a meaningful capacity. Instead, they now rely on a cartel of space pirates to ferry anything off-world and out of system, usually at a steep premium. If one wants to leave the system for good, one of the only avenues out is the payment that comes with high-risk mercenary work.
