conversations.value: The year is 1889.
  
  After five long years at the Provincial Academy of Phoenix Armour Operation, you're finally a licensed mech pilot.
  
  Reality's fabric is  fragile. History is peppered with rifts in spacetime; portals into alternate dimensions from which monsters and daemons come shambling through.
  
  In olden times, the tears were small and the invaders, weak. Local heroes sprung to action wherever they struck, beating back the threat from dusk to dawn. Now, the monsters are bigger and badder than ever before...
  
  ... and so is Humanity's first line of defense.
  
  Enter the Phoenix Technicians: mage-guardsmen piloting fifty-foot mechanical armour built to withstand the most barbarous interdimensional trespassers. With passion in their eyes and fire under their skin, the brave few protect our walled cities from these abominations!
  
  
  *Morning Glory Shakedown!* is an anachronistic, hot-blooded mecha fantasy fueled by diesel and phoenix hearts. A marriage between the steampunk, fantasy and mech pilot genres that favours action over strategy. Just have fun!
