About: Ninth Aetheric Vapor Squad   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The Aetheric Vapor Squads are strategically positioned at ground stations around the Empire, usually near major cities or valuable resources, in order to be able to respond as quickly as possible to situations in which local fire brigades find themselves overwhelmed. The Ninth are closest to Mechanicsburg and Beetleburg. Note the triple-lensed optical system is used on these firefighting clanks the same as on the Wulfenbach soldier clanks. The triplicate-stereo optical input allows for greatest possible accuracy in aiming the liquid gas streams at the designated target.

  • The Aetheric Vapor Squads are strategically positioned at ground stations around the Empire, usually near major cities or valuable resources, in order to be able to respond as quickly as possible to situations in which local fire brigades find themselves overwhelmed. The Ninth are closest to Mechanicsburg and Beetleburg. The members of the squad wear insulated gear and facemasks as they operate their clanks through the inferno. The size of the clanks (the firefighter rides in a turret on top of the clank's head) not only provides sufficient room to power the condensers and carry the tanks, but keeps the firefighter him or herself further from harm. A "deadman" circuit is built into the clank's rudimentary intelligence to carry its passenger safely out of harm's way should they be overwhelmed by heat, smoke or falling debris. Note the triple-lensed optical system is used on these firefighting clanks the same as on the Wulfenbach soldier clanks. The triplicate-stereo optical input allows for greatest possible accuracy in aiming the liquid gas streams at the designated target. It [ has been theorized] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]] that the Aetheric Vapor equipment could also be used as weaponry. Gilgamesh Wulfenbach extrapolated the Baron's order for the Ninth to report to Mechanicsburg so that their equipment could be used on a larger-than-usual scale to freeze Castle Heterodyne to the point of shattering; an example is seen here. Although the showier demonstrations of the power of liquid gasses are based on the sample materials being mostly water and therefore freezing quickly, sufficient chilling on a larger scale will eventually affect denser materials as well (note eventually).
