Exhaust - Blog Posts
A patchwork of bright, criss-crossing cloud trails was created by ships churning through the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Portugal and Spain in this image captured by one of our Earth observing satellites. The narrow clouds known as ship tracks, form when water vapor condenses around tiny particles of pollution that ships emit.
Some of the pollution particles generated by ships (especially sulfates) are soluble in water and serve as the seeds around which cloud droplets form. Clouds infused with ship exhaust have more and smaller droplets than unpolluted clouds. Because of this, the light hitting the polluted clouds scatters in many directions, making them appear brighter and thicker than unpolluted marine clouds, which are typically seeded by larger, naturally occurring particles such as sea salt.

A shorter, bulkier mech than most, the Bonfire Scalycap makes up for its small size and poor mobility with its outstanding durability and impressive heat-based offensive weaponry. Able to easily counteract any signs of overheating with the full-system exhaust, this machine can always push past its limitations to get in that always needed extra hit. Remember, If things ever start looking rough, you can set this mech to full overcharge, super-heating itself to the extreme. Fire will bellow out of ever exhaust, the surface will start to glow, and the ground will start to melt around you, if you survive nothing will survive your fury. Bonfire Scalycap was chosen as this species of fungus grows best after forest fires.
