Not a half bad story so far. Keep up the good work.

Very fascinating. Wonder how it’ll go when Kallen sees Naoto in the same place as her and Tamaki.

Talk about intense, but I think you made some writing errors. Cornelia is supposed to be the Second Princess not Third for example.

Kind of feel bad for Yuma, but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do. Still, I’m liking the way this is going.

Very interesting. Of course, I think Julius would hire more Numbers than just Eleven, and I’m curious about Rakshata’s choices diverting from what he wanted, but it still looks good.

where's the presentation? next chapter? it looks like the "show" hasn't started yet.

Nice story.

it being a while since the story start but now the story is start to get exciting
to finally is the mecha between lelocuh vs brittinnia

i also enjoy the workshop interview very tony stark style

finally see DS meeting lelouch

although when lelouch win the mecha dual i can already the after effect it will cost
people would likely want to steal his mecha or kidnapped lelouch to even though he want no part of it or sell his mecha war machine

BTW will the dual going to be on one vs one or a group battle

what is lelouch goal anyway. we know lelouch want to create a better world for nunnally and other people but that would very difficult and near impossible especially those tyrant and Charles so unless lelouch plan to build a warp drive and terraform in space or new planet like the zaft union except it would be a republic kind

So kallen stole data, I wonder what she got a hold of. Will it be general data on projects julius is working on to better the future or did she get potential plans for the Gloucester killer. It be funny if kallen makes a fool of herself because she grabbed something relatively harmless, or better yet plans to improve the lives of everyone regardless of nationality.

I'm loving this story so far. Honestly running with a more pacifistic Lelouch and fighting the world with business and ideology instead of war is honestly pretty inspired. I'm looking forward to the fight between Schniezal, Charles and 'Julius' in this new playing field. One of ideology, technology and influence.

Keep it up :)

Kallen, you stealing that drive, I can only imagine the vengeance Lelouch would bring upon you should he knows. Love the way you write Lelouch here and the plot is very intriguing as well. Please update sooner next time, cause this was way too long in the making.

hope to read more.

Keep it up :)

A lot of improvement in your grammar and spelling since the first chapter. I've seen a number of fics go a similar path with Lelouch turning to advanced tech and, more recently, forming an organization pre-2017 a.t.b, but this fic has peaked by interest going the business route. It'll be interesting seeing Lelo-sorry, Julius follow a path seemingly neutral and hands off to his goals. I'm worried about the introduction of what I assume will be the Exia at the competition, though I think I'm mainly worried if you're going to introduce GN Particles or Trans-Am. I know you've already introduced the non-sakuradite powered transportation, but the full powered Exia pretty much breaks the CG universe several times over until 9th gen. If Julius does showcase the Exia, I hope it's a little more grounded or he hints at all the future developments that he's capable of creating. I don't think any sources discussed it in length, but in canon, sakuradite batteries have one time uses. He could say the frame utilizes rechargeable batteries, or something similar to iPhone charging pads/wireless charging. Thinking of Zoids: New Century here with the Liger Zero, but the frame could have the selling pitching of being heavily customizable with different "packages" being easy to swap on and off. An easy way to introduce Dynames, Cherudim, and Kyrios could to sell them as long range, heavy, and flight packages, and long term, any other frames from the Gundam franchise could be introduced. I don't know, just throwing ideas out. If Lelouch is as anti-war as he says, I rather get a kick out of the idea he shows all this off, but when asked about a price, he replies, "Oh this? This isn't for sale, I just made it to settle a bet. If you're to design a weapon, at least put some thought into it."

If you're looking for any plot threads or alternative scientific minds to pick, there's a couple of lesser-known CG scientists named Lenard Lubie and Wilbur Milville. Lubie and his daughter Mariel, from Suzaku of the Counterattack manga, developed the Lancelot as a combat suit in a world where knightmares were never created. I imagine in a world where they were, and infantry see a much reduced role, his work wouldn't be appreciated or worth the development costs. Without Rakshata, Lelouch could turn to him, figure out how to use the suit or the science behind it for medial purposes. Could also double as eventual flight suits for devicers/meisters. Milville, from the Oz the Reflection manga, was the one to develop the Bradford, Tristan, and a coupe of other variable-type knightmares at Steiner Konzern, but turned against Britannia when the his wife was killed in a terrorist attack and Emperor Charles denied the creation of a flight-capable knightmare division. He was not only brilliant enough to be promoted to Head of Aerial Weapon Development at Steiner, he was an ace-combat pilot (able to out-fly several Britannian air squads, defeat Leonhardt Steiner, who has an A- in aerial combat, in a lesser generation knightmare, went toe-to-toe with Oldrin Zevon and Leonhardt Steiner combined) and competent leader/strategist (he alone apparently foresaw the need for a major revamp of Britannian air forces, led Wings of Talleyrand in capturing Bermuda Island base and HMS Hadrian, coordinated forces while battling himself in defeating the Britannian Virginia Fleet, saved Leon mid-flight, succeeded in convincing Britannia need for major push for air superiority). Some very cool guys under used. Oh, and if you touch on power again, you should do something about the fact that the superpowers utilize alternative sources of energy, but it's never shown what they're used for. The anime shows Britannia has skyscrapper-sized solar panels at all major developments and Akito the Exiled showed Europia has a number of wind turbines, but sakuradite is apparently such a wonder, that they'd rather use a finite resource to power literally everything in their societies. Seriously, the Tokyo Settlement is ringed with solar panels, but one gefjun disturber later, you got a dead city.

. . . Well, I've ranted enough. I like the fic, keep on going, etc. Talk to me some time, love to discuss.

Okay, the fact knightmare frames aren't being used in ways other than warfare simply because no one would allow their potential utility to be applied sounds rather silly. Though I wonder just what sort of machine Lelouch will be fielding to act as the "anti-knightmare."
