Approved Tech Bloodpane Spectral HUD and Strike Scriptor Mk. I

[Darth Prazutis]

​

• Intent: To create a Kainate exclusive heads-up display and strike-planning suite that renders shield seams, collapse forecasts, bomb drift, and egress vectors as readable overlays, with a fast "draw-to-execute" strike Scriptor for building kill-chains under cockpit pressure.

• Bloodpane Spectral Combiner: A crimson HUD plate that stays readable during flashes and high G. It resists glare from weapons fire and explosions so symbology does not wash out. Mechanical indexing keeps the image aligned with the pilot's sightline even when the airframe shakes.
• Seam and Collapse Rendering Engine: Pulls live data from Scry-Lens and shows the current shield seam as a thin line with a simple timer bar. Likely hull collapse cones are shaded in the pilot's view so depth and timing are obvious at a glance. Refresh timing is locked to Malediction so what you see matches when weapons will actually release.
• Strike Scriptor Interface: The pilot/weapon systems officer traces three simple marks on a small pad for breach, follow-up, and finish. The system converts that sketch into a release ladder with spacing, depth keys, and the correct Harrowleech window. If a stroke would cause fratricide or formation conflict, it highlights the error and suggests a legal adjustment.
• Panic-Mode Readability Profile: Under high stress cues such as blackout onset or mask occlusion, the HUD auto-simplifies. Only the critical cues remain, with thicker bars and higher contrast so they can be read in a blink. Normal detail returns as soon as vitals stabilize.
• Quiet Signal Discipline and Sink-Coupled Electronics: Low-noise projectors and shielded lines avoid adding a detectable emission signature during approach. A small buffer cell rides out brief power spikes so the HUD stays steady if the ship takes a hit. Residual heat and RF are bled into existing sinks to prevent a locator "bloom."

• Kill-Chain, Drawn and Executed: The Scriptor turns the WSO's three strokes into a valid, deconflicted release plan in seconds. That plan feeds Malediction and the bay gear immediately, which cuts delay between target picture and bomb release.
• Readable Under Punishment: Bloodpane glass and the panic-mode profile keep the display legible through recoil, flak flashes, and high G. Crews can still read seam dwell and bomb drift while maneuvering out of danger, which reduces late or blind drops.
• Seam Intelligence in the Glass: Seams, timers, collapse cones, drift whiskers, and egress vectors appear in the pilot's forward view rather than on a side console. Head movement drops, timing errors shrink, and threading a Harrowleech corridor becomes repeatable.
• Doctrine-Native Integration: The suite speaks the same timing as Scry-Lens, Harrowleech, Black Veil, Malediction, and Grave-Current. Crews see one consistent picture from ingress through exit instead of juggling mismatched systems.

• Force Nullification: While under Force Nullification, the Sigil-Wire bias and certain rune filters lose finesse. The HUD continues to function, but seam predictions and collapse cones become more conservative and refresh slightly slower. Crews must leave wider margins until clear of null.
• Sensor Dependency and Garbage-In Risk: The HUD's strength comes from what it is fed. If Scry-Lens tracks are degraded by debris, jamming, or partial damage, seam and drift renders may be less accurate. The suite flags low-confidence data, yet an over-eager crew can still over-trust a picture that is only partially true.

The Bloodpane Spectral HUD and Strike Scriptor Mk. I puts the whole kill-chain in the crew's forward view and lets them shape it at speed. Instead of splitting attention across scattered panels, the pilot sees the current shield seam, its remaining dwell time, expected collapse paths, bomb drift, and a clean egress vector directly on a crimson combiner that stays readable through glare and G-loads. The picture updates on the same beat Malediction uses to release weapons, so what the crew sees is what the jet will actually do.

The Scriptor is the workflow shortcut. The pilot draws three simple strokes for breach, follow-up, and finish, and the suite turns that sketch into a deconflicted release ladder with correct spacing and seam timing. If the plan would cut across a wingman or a protected cone, the system marks the error and offers a safe variant. In formations wired with Grave-Current, that plan can be mirrored to the next aircraft in the chain if lead goes dark, keeping the timeline alive.

Presentation is built for panic. When the cockpit gets rough, the HUD drops to large, clean bars and minimal glyphs so the eye can catch them even during a blink or a pull. As soon as the moment passes, full detail returns. Electronics run quiet and dump residual energy into existing sinks, which keeps the aircraft from "lighting up" sensors when the display updates. The result is a cockpit that thinks in simple shapes and true timing, turning Kainate doctrine into an eyes-forward picture that crews can follow even while the airframe shudders.

It will not invent data in a null field or make broken sensors honest. It does demand careful calibration to stay razor-clean. Meet those terms, and the Bloodpane Spectral HUD and Strike Scriptor gives the Velakorr and sister craft exactly what the Kainate demands: a fast, readable way to draw the kill and carry it out before the enemy can recover.

Very cool, as always.
