Ruling
Yellow
We have reviewed Pollen's edit and determined the player has miscalculated the damage she ought to take based on the specifications of Decoy's attack. Lyra's was initially frozen prior to her EOD as part of a maneuver to relocate her position. It is justified that Lyra may increase the density of her ice, but we do not have any metric that can ascertain that durability versus a reduced Ratifier bullet traveling at reduced speed hitting around 5500 foot pounds. She mentioned it traveling at a muzzle velocity below primitive firearms but not its muzzle energy which is the power it produces. Ratifier bullet calibers are .500 or 12.7 and at 3 times heavier than Tungsten despite its density. The reduced power means less penetration is likely to occur though that may translate to exiting rather than puncturing.
The round can lodge into the icy holds of Lyra's body where its kinetic energy can disperse wildly having a sectional density of 3.56 PSI and the momentum of 17.6 slug feet per second. Lyra is only 125 pounds which is far below the weight necessary to tank this attack with the ease the player suggested. It's more reasonable that Lyra's body, in mid flight, would be blown back especially because of their body being frozen. The bullet is slightly off the center of mass from the Zeus Cannon's own trajectory which will result in a curve of Lyra's own body to that direction (assuming the interior of her frozen body isn't shattered at that region). We cannot conclude how fast Lyra can react to this speed but her FRT and density is considered that this attack does not blow her in half, but will fold her in considerably (this is not a kill shot). The shot could knock her right out of the sky being torn back by the momentum the Ratifier round possesses.
The 2nd part of this ruling touches on a retro-action committed by Drifting Pollen. Pollen does not narrate any indication that the third and irrelevant piece of the shroud came with her flower attack launched prior to her EOD. Decoy's interruption was unsuccessful but her attack's own nature was still suspended in play without resolving and thus any additional properties to it (having been established by both players) cannot be retro fitted. The third piece of shroud awaits to be used and cannot be effectively part of an attack that was already placed on the field.
The third discrepancy involves Decoy's own Ratifier round. His profile sheet explicitly states the .500 Vertbranium fired from the Ratifier produces a muzzle velocity of 5 MegaJoules, but our numbers clearly indicate 68361.4 joules (68 Kilojoules). The output from a single weapon especially a gun launching a bullet that powerful even at a reduced speed of 433mph would obliterate Lyra and ending this fight. We decided that our numbers were more accurate to the weapon specifications itself in the name of fairness to the opponent because any instance of Mitsu' ballistics hitting his opponent may result in an instant defeat (reaching Schedule 2). This is especially true since Lyra is taking damage from a hit we have ruled on. We are making this arrangement based on the numerical accuracy we've acquired from this ruling when it was made clear to us exactly at how much damage will this attack create in terms of power. This also means his Zeus Cannon will not be doing the projected 10 MJs worth of muzzle energy but rather 566291 or 566kilojoules at maximum velocity5. The fight resumes.
- The 3rd fragment of the Shroud was not referenced in the original attack Lyra unleashed involving her Ice Flower1
- Pollen was issued an EOD to take a hit previously. The damage she would receive is greater than what she proposed when finalizing her end of the Edit.
- Mitsu' Ratifier specifications are in his profile sheet detailing the munition his weaponry uses.
- The Ratifier fires "VERTBRANIUM" rounds which are a type of bullet using a fictional metal said to be skin to Tungsten and is 3 times heavier.
- 1 cubic centimeter of Tungsten is 19.25 grams.
- The caliber of these Ratifier bullets are .500 or 12.7mm Full Metal Jacket. We're going to defer to a 12.7x57.15
- We calculated and determined the volume of a Ratifier round at 7.01336 cubic centimeters
- The weight of such bullets with that dimension is 404.8 grams or 0.89243124 pounds since it is heavier than Tungsten by 3 times.
- We have established previously that Mitsu' only round to make contact with Lyra is moving at 433mph or 635.067 fps
- 635.06 fps with an object's mass of 404.8 grams is 5593.5 foot pounds or 7.5 kilojoules (7583.8 joules)2
- At that amount of force we can compare the shot to a .458 Winchester Magnum3
- Lyra is 5'7 and 125 pounds.
- The shroud exterior when it was behind the pillar shouldn't be anymore than 16x8' (1609.1 volume) feet tall within the confines of its 2000 cubic foot limit especially with it split in 4 pieces (1 destroyed by Mitsu, 2 acting as defense, and the last remaining part relevant)
- The inner layer of Shroud is hard to demonstrably determine because we do not know how much more "compact" it is. Both halves of the shroud playing defense are split between each other which means their maximum capable length reflects this. That is perhaps 9.56' radius and 7' tall (502.6) for a very rough estimate.
- The distance between Mitsu and Pollen is 185.06'
- Ratifier bullet makes it to Lyra's outer layer at 0.0945 seconds.
- Mitsu's ratifier penetrating Lyra's interior shell within shroud at 433mph will roughly be 0.007 seconds
- the maximum muzzle energy the Ratifiers is 50420.8 foot pounds4 but Decoy wrote down 5 Mega Joules (5,000,000) in his profile sheet.
