Story brainstorm
Intro: Show passion of mechs and fighting—father’s approval most important thing—Father wants him to restore family name and doesn’t believe Dart will do it
Dad sends into city on errand—Goes into the city and sees amazing tech—shows us what’s possible in the world
Conflict introduced: How great Dart’s dad is/Dart sent with letter and turned away/dad killed by Mechateer
Show how bad the cardinal is—encounter with guard that makes him want revenge
Mysterious death of father—wants to make good on his father’s pressure to restore Glory of family
Gears up mech goes on warpath
Sees the guard that disrespected him earlier, goes after him
Mess up the 3 Mechateers’ day in the chase that ensues—challenges to duel
Loses the guard he’s chasing
Duel in churchyard—finds out the 3 Mechateers are together, but not on best terms/out of sync
Dart showing that he pulls them together
Cardinal’s guard escapes—right as Dart discovers that guard likely killed his father
Tells the Mechateers what he knows about the plot
3 separate plans based on Dart’s plan
Figure if the machine that corrupts gems is in the guards’ barracks, but fail to find it. Caught by guard, saved by the Queen
Queen summons them and gives a mission to find the diamond (which they do not know is being used to make Dart’s father’s machine work)—she found torn eyepatch, Dart knows it’s the guy that lives above the bar. She’s accused of having an affair with English Lord/Prince
Chase through the city-show what makes the 3 mechateers great
Catch the guy, find out that he was just a stooge of Mr. Big Mobster
Fight their way into the lair of Mr. Big Mobster, who is English, tells them they are fools for thinking they can stop the oncoming invasion.
Because this guy is English, they go to confront English Lord/Prince (by sneaking in/quietly disabling guards) to find out what’s going on
Find out that Cardinal’s underling promised them the technology

Personal confrontation - see might and power to suspect him
English guy assassinated in front of musketeers, just before they find answers and now they are suspects. Dart's mistake allows the assassin to succeed, but not before Athos recognizes her
Ditch Dart while they chase after Milady---Dart tries to follow anyway
He's helpful, but there's still friction and he's still "out"
Ditch Dart while they chase after Milady---Dart tries to follow anyway
He's helpful, but there's still friction and he's still "out"
Final confrontation with her - Aramis (the ninja) goes in, Milady dispatches with easy, Athos then goes in (has personal connection), and eventually defeats her - perhaps you defeat cardinal, but never defeat Milady
Their gems are corrupted by Cardinal, he disables, emotionally and physically overpowers the Mechateers
Dart break two Mechateers out of prison and rescue one from drink in bar---to finally go save the day
Queen sacrifices the four remaining diamonds from the King
Stealthy break-in/heist where they get their mechs and swords back---scrap yard where they have the gearing up sequence and Dart is finally amazing
Cardinal's Ceremony to "make the King's gem Holy" the plan is to tear the housing off of the machine to reveal the Queen's diamond inside. They crash into the scene, take down the ring of guards, and tear open the machine. The Cardinal backs away as his plot is revealed, and then he sees all the gems in the room (except the 4 Mechateers) cloud over and turn red. He sicks Mi'Lady on the Mechateers as he pushes the King of the thrones and takes the controls to his massive battlemech.Mi'Lady escapes with the Queen's diamond and retreats back to England
Stop the Cardinal’s plot:
-Control people via mechs
-Crown himself king of neo-France
-Ban machinery except at Cardinal’s command
-Gems that he can control—maybe even corrupting existing gems
-Leverage connections to Royalty to undercut their authority
-King and other Royals listen to him
-Playing King against Queen, Marquis against the Royals, etc.
-I will make everything perfect—Lift the world from the common soot and oil
-Fight against the non-religious
-Runaway technology—False Luddite/traditionalist—anti-warmongering
-Says technology should be blessed
