Okay, after waking up from my latest nap I worked up a post! Whoo! Get us moving along at least. The next mission should be starting up in the next week or two, I just have to get a few final things settled. Sorry for the delay. And thanks to everyone and especially Wasp for keeping posting and staying active while I was indisposed.
Now that I've caught up, on the engines and the Zesuaium blade...I would say you need to edit that post just slightly, or else Wes might get a bit upset. I think it would be safer to say that the particles from the prongs at first didn't hurt the blade, just the grip and the rest of the weapon. And when the prong broke and scattered the particles further, it probably did some light pitting all over Skade's armor. If she had stayed in the 'exhaust' area for longer it might have gotten through, her armor is weakened now but I wouldn't say fully damaged. The non-blade part of the weapon is probably ruined. And if the blade had been bombarded with those particles for long enough, it might have ruined it, because it does say some types of disintegration affect it if sustained. That work for everyone?
