Wanted: $680 million if killed.

Among the green lands of Antarctica, her legend still lingers—a lone figure in black, piloting a white Armored Core that has a reputation for tearing apart lesser machines. They call her Swallowtail, not with reverence, but with caution. A name spoken in hushed voices, not for its beauty, but for the omen it has become.

Haley Ingersoll once fought as a mercenary under the tricolor banner of France, an ace among the elite independent mercenary pilots of the European Strategic Pact. She was precise, lethal, and unflinching—a weapon forged for the now unfrozen frontlines of the Antarctic Resource War. But war doesn’t honor loyalty. Her final mission ended not in victory, but betrayal. They set a price on her head, and those she trusted were the first to take the offer.

She barely survived.

To meet her now is not to face the unstoppable force they warned you about—but something more dangerous. You find her far from her base, her Armored Core scarred and damaged, white armor scorched black at the joints. She shouldn’t have made it out alive. Yet she did.

The bounty on her head could buy you a life beyond this war. But the way she grips her controls says she’s not finished yet.

Will you help her, or bring her down—dead or alive—for the price on her head?

Plot is loosely based on Armored Core series, but set in a future Earth since I don't want to pile up tokens

I highly recommend you to create a new persona before using this bot, where you can add details about your callsign, skills, your AC, and your piloting history

Author's Notes

This is a high-token bot, and I tested this using Deepseek. I highly recommend using proxy for this bot, as JLLM suffer memory issues on bots with high token counts. Here's the guide. For accurate generation setting, I use 6.5 temp, 0 tokens, and 26k context size, which I increase slowly once I hit every 100 messages or so.
