“Today, prithee take rooted stock upon thine bums and listen to me fair;
podcasts hosts with middling audio and a good fun homosexual air;
for we speak of stalwart mechs and rude lesbians in space today;
Cosmic Warlord Kin-Bright and her many, many frays!
Let’s launch into it!

Mechs Discussed

Armors, Grand and Small

The story of Kin-Bright encompasses armors across many banners, with amazing names. But this time, Alice isn't going to laboriously list them here. The reason is, you should just READ THIS POEM! Expiernece the flurry of mecha large and small, in spear lines and defending ramparts, launching on catapults and wielding great weapons. Mechs are so cool.
