Tactical Mode Shift
[TMS]
GENERAL LOGIC: sc-027 [Separation/Docking Protocol]
1. Operational Overview
A specialized tactical protocol that enables the bi-directional transition between a Unified MS Form and a Separated State. By decoupling the "Slave" unit, the "Master" unit achieves superior maneuverability while maintaining a tethered connection to its auxiliary modules for synchronized combat.
| Master Buffs | Speed +10% / Thruster -20% |
| Slave Armor | Damage & Reaction Immune |
| Combat Logic | Linked Fire / Auto-ASL |
| Stagger Limit | 100% (Base Accumulation) |
2. Master/Slave Synergy
The Slave Unit acts as an indestructible physical object. While it is immune to health damage and shield-piercing effects, it functions as a "proxy" for the Master's balance. When the Master fires, the Slave provides synchronized support fire with automatic targeting, covering the pilot’s blind spots.
3. Counter-Logic: Feedback Shock
The fatal flaw of this system is the Accumulation Buffer. The Slave unit silently records all kinetic impact.
- Once the buffer hits 100%, it triggers a "Feedback Shock."
- The Master is instantly dragged into a forced docking sequence.
- This results in a total loss of control (Knockdown), leaving the unit vulnerable.
4. Case Study: Gedlav & Einrad
In SFS Mode, the Gedlav mounts the Einrad. The Slave becomes an absolute physical shield for the lower profile. When enhanced with Transformed Reinforcement, the accumulation requirement jumps to 200%, effectively negating most standard suppression fire.
5. Strategic Summary
Success with sc-027 depends on "Invisible Gauge Management." A skilled pilot will manually trigger a Docking reset before the Slave's accumulation threshold is reached, maintaining the initiative without risking a Feedback Shock.
