History Fanfic / EscalationIsTheNameOfTheGame

* HonorBeforeReason: When Fusou publicly exposed the Prophets' lies to the Covenant, the Sangheili that remained loyal to the Covenant refused to believe the truth and they had to be eliminated by their Separatists counterparts in [[DuelToTheDeath honor duels]]. This prevents civil war from breaking out among the Sangheili and preventing the rise of a charismatic leader, such as Jul 'Muldamee, from leading what is left of the Covenant. The [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority Jiralahanae]], however, not so much.

* MagicFromTechnology: Forerunner technology is like this. But combined with Progenitor technology, Fusou take it UpToEleven. When Fusou tries to explain some of her technology to UNSC scientists such as Dr. Catherine Halsey they are left completely flabbergasted.

The third ''VideoGame/PlanetaryAnnihilation'' Multi-cross fanfic to crop up, this story chronicles the adventures of the Sufficient Velocity and ''Website/SpaceBattlesDotCom'' user Battleship_Fusou. After being scooped up by ROB and stuffed into the chassis of a commander, she is turned loose to explore the multi-verse with the sole purpose of entertaining ROB. Exists in the same narrative multiverse as Commander and [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Fanfic/FaithInSuperiorFirepower Faith in Superior Firepower]]

* BreakingTheFourthWall:

* NakedPeopleAreFunny: During the beach party in Chapter 104, Hope accidentally snags Fusou's bikini top while they ate playing in the sea. Fusou is embarrassed for a moment, but then takes the opportunity to mortify Hope [[HoYay by suggesting that she grabbed her top deliberately.]]

* SerialEscalation: [[{{Lampshaded It's in the name.]] Fusou's main response to facing an enemy that her current forces cannot defeat is to create weapons/machines that are even tougher and more powerful, so that she can turn the tables on her foes.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Admiral Stanforth silently accused the Separatists being hypocrites during their shocked and distraught reactions [[spoiler:to the high number of civilian losses on ''High Charity'' and Sanghelios]] in compare to the billions of human beings that they had previously slaughtered prior to the Battle of Reach.

** Oddly enough, the Sangheli prove both honorable ''and'' reasonable. The takeover from those who want to stop following the Prophets is, in the worlds of Fusou, "Surprisingly civil," with quick, quiet debates being all that are required for most of the Sangheli, most of which are very civil.

* OutsideContextHero: Commander Fusou. Not only does she has the advanced tech, she has in-depth knowledge of the various universes based on their stories and franchises from the real-world to know the people, organizations, technology, events, and etc.

* AccidentalInnuendo: Commenters on the story on the Sufficient Velocity forums find them in just about every chapter. The author's extremely amusing Tsundere responses don't help matters.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Arguably of Planetary Annihilation self-insert protagonists as a whole. A lot of SI Commanders lose their humanity pretty fast - not so Fusou.

* TearJerker: [[spoiler:Chapter 67 evoked this reaction from several readers upon publication.]]

* WaveMotionGun: The shrunken Annihilaser fitted to the ''Enterprise'' won't be cracking planets [[spoiler:but it was more than enough to cut a CSO-class Supercarrier in half from bow to stern before slicing apart a good chunk of the accompanying fleet]].
* WordOfGod: On the Sufficient Velocity forum, Battleship Fusou has needed to step in a few times to put down arguments and de-rails.
** The first time was when she stated that the water she had teleported out into space around chapter 6 was never coming back down to her starting world and that it would never turn up in the story again.
** The second was after chapter 49 or 50 when she stepped in to say [[spoiler:that geography along the coast of Kenya had changed enough that the city of Voi had become a coastal location]].
** The third was when she banned all further political discussions revolving around her actions in Chapter 86 until Chapter 87 was uploaded.

** In the Halo universe, Fusou gave the UNSC and ex-Convenant Forerunner-designed Slip Space technology and advanced quantum entanglement communications to better manage their respective nations and empires.

* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:Turns out that not all the Forerunners are dead. But only a certain amount of survivors that fled outside the Milky Way Galaxy and waited there for thousands of years for the Flood to die out after the Halo Array are activated before returning to restore their empire.]]

** In the Mass Effect universe, Fusou gave the pre-First Contact War System Alliance the Shaw-Fujikawa Slip Space Drive, Titanium-A, and Dumb AI's from the Halo universe. This gave humanity an unprecedented growth within a span of eight years than in Mass Effect canon.
