I might or might not decide to ever write this, but in the spirit of those Battletech CYOAs I had a couple twists on it to deviate from the norm that I kept toying with.
1: Instead of merging with the 20 year old schlub on New Years, it would have instead been closer to Drakenisis' Davion and Davion Deceased where you'd ghost ride around providing advice and snark
2: Instead of all these good intentions of kicking the Inner Sphere out of the Succession Wars and preparing for the Clans, you and your host are a bit shit and kinda selfish. You don't remember where all those Lostech stashes are, you kinda remember that Helm has a big one but like it's in a mountain? And there's like a river? You think? It was decades ago when you read that book and you stopped really paying attention to the universe right when the FedCom Civil War happened.
3: You don't have a big merc group to use. You gotta sell off most of your inheritance for debt and manage to scrape away with a merc battlemech company. Wolf's Dragoons you aint.
4: You get the phantom mech ability but you can only use it when your buddy loses consciousness and you "assume control"
5: You aint the only Insert that woke up in 2015. They are going to make changes and while you are cooling your heels in a dive bar on Solaris waiting for your Warhammer's knee to get rebuilt so you can take that garrison contract fighting bandits in the Periphery. They may or may not have the Inner Sphere's best interests at heart.
