Introduction:

The terrestrial equivalent of the aerospace-borne MPHAs, ‘White Rhinos’ (WRs) are Inisfree’s eclectic Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs); a fusion of the Main Battle Tank (MBT), artillery, mortars, Surface-to-Air Missile(s) (SAM) site, helicopter rocket pods, Advanced Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAAV), the Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) variants, a crime laboratory, breaching (battering ram) vehicle, and a Human Exploitation Team (HET) interrogation facility. Each WR is resilient and versatile enough to be considered a mobile Forward Operating Base (FOB) on-par with the like-named entrenchment camps of the Outlander Marine Corps. Originally called the “Earthquake”, this vehicle now gets its name from the legendary race of Rhinoceros infamous for being the largest, most numerous, and most aggressive of its species.

Dimensions, Layout, and Weight:

Picture an armored motor-coach/home with bigger wheels and tires.

• 50′ “long” (deep)
• 15′ wide
• 16′ tall
• tires: ~8′ diameter (and drivers/operators can adjust their air-pressure from within the cab/cockpit, just as can be done with some Outlands vehicles such as the Sherp ATV)
• wheels: ~2′ diameter
• axels: ~1′ diameter
• structure/armor thickness: ~1′ (of a material ~250x stronger than steel, and further protected by repulsine-based energy-shielding)
• floors (headspace): 2, ~6′ from floor to ceiling
• 20 stasis tubes
• both tables are flush w/ floor until needed; they raise and lower on (ICV or Auz) thought-command
• weight: ~22.4 tons (if its repulsines weren’t cancelling out that weight)
  (The weight of the ~half-as-long, ~half-as-tall M88 Recovery Vehicle is 112,000 lbs. (56 tons), so a WR is ~4x as voluminous; it would weigh 224 tons if made of ‘normal’/common materials.)
  (would be ~100,000 lbs. (50 tons) if it was made of luxury motor-coach materials)
• repulsines:  8 (in the vertices)

Time to Construct:

It takes ~1.5 days to 3D-print one of these vehicles.  That means that every hour… another ~2.7% of a WR gets completed.

1. ~6 hours; hours 1 through 6:  “bones”; frame/skeleton
2. ~6 hours; hours 7 through 12:  “tendons”; secondary conduits/pipes, etc. (as the frame/skeleton is based on the Grid Mind mesh/tentacles; the frame of every Inisfreean vessel/construct doubles as its plumbing and electrical wiring)
3. ~6 hours; hours 13 through 18:  “muscles”; hatches, VTOL shafts, etc.
4. ~6 hours; hours 19 through 24:  “organs”; repulsines, Vril reactor/batteries, etc.
5. ~6 hours; hours 25 through 30:  vehicles/craft; its Owls, etc.
6. ~6 hours; hours 31 through 36:  personnel; Inisfreeans (ICVs) stationed in its stasis tubes

• deployed either from a DS (if assigned to a DS; if 3D-printed in one) or through/via the Highway Pyramid‘s commercial/trucks portal (if one of the original WRs 3D-printed by that pyramid’s CSBS military-vehicles factory and staged at that CSBS’s WRs motor-pool)
• travels at normal driving speeds on paved surfaces or off-road –on stable terrain; not over marsh/swampland or quicksand
• travels by land/driving even though it can repulsine-portal
• keeps its hatches closed unless actively in use (such as when loading kajirae-candidates from the Outlands, or when unloading them in/to another IC, such as once back within a DS or CSBS, or when parked alongside a rendezvousing MPHA)
• stays cloaked (invisible) unless Auz or the Grid Mind decides its presence should be detected/seen
• stays decloaked as long as Auz or the Grid Mind decides its presence should be detected/seen
• stays in masked-mode (not cloaked; just disguised as local boulders/terrain) when cloaking might be detectable to Outlanders in its mission/tasking area
• flashes (activating its nova-mode) anytime Outlanders within visual range of it should be distracted and/or disoriented by such a bright light
• can drive through human Outlander cities and their buildings, even houses and apartment buildings, no matter how much property damage is caused, so long as it only drives through the structures of incompatible Outlanders, doing its best not to damage anything that belongs to anyone who is compatible with Auz/Inisfree
• deploys 1 of its ICVs for every ~660′-diameter area or volume (form; sphere) anytime the presence or tech’ of an ICV will help its situation/mission/tasking (such as when a human-looking girl will likely result in locals/targets noticing or interacting with her the way her team/vehicle wants/needs for its current task or mission)
• can deploy up to all of its ICVs (since all of its gun-pods can A.I. self-aim/fire)
• Main-gun can engage targets up to ~140 miles away (over the horizon), and is now typically used to neutralize/align/enlighten targets in sizable groups of individuals or vehicles, or just to long-distance re-green (plant trees via launched seed-pods/shells).
• fires its main gun when it is chosen as the vehicle to engage a target the size/mass of an MBT or an entire floor/level of a house-sized building (i.e. a target bigger than a non-tank armored-vehicle, but smaller than a full house or commercial aircraft)
• Non-main guns can engage targets up to ~5 miles away (on/to the horizon).
• fires one of its non-main guns when it is chosen as the vehicle to engage a ~4.3-ton target/mass; ~56 average-sized human/oid Outlanders or ~2 of their pickup trucks (and, being an Inisfreean vehicle; having/using Rainbow Cannons, a single shot from its main gun can be set to instantly convert the mindsets of everyone it hits to become passive/submissive/obedient to the Inisfreeans, so, for example, a crowd of people would all stop what they are doing and do whatever the Inisfreeans told them to –even without an omni-interface / by-mind override of any of them, so imagine 56 people on the street stopping everything they were doing, all the incompatible ones offing themselves, and all the compatible ones lining up to be walked into the WR for intake processing / pre-screening)
• always neutralizes/ends incompatible/hostile targets/communities/colonies/corruptions within its range
• always acquires all potentially-compatible females; kajirae-candidates
• Anytime it is fired upon, or otherwise reacted to negatively, it can and should wipe out all the teammates, friends, family, and fellow countrymen of whomever fired upon it, so long as doing so does not conflict with its mission –or with the mission of its parent-vessel (DS), if it was operating with/from a parent-vessel.  This means if any Outlander shoots at a WR, or otherwise attacks or tries to interfere with it, everyone that Outlander was working with, plus all of the people he/she likes and lives/lived with, and all of their towns and cities, and even the rest of the people who think of themselves as members of the same nation or organization, will become classified as hostiles and targets to be neutralized/ended ASAP, which may result in calling for the deployment of additional Inisfreean forces (to get the job done within days –even if an entire nation is approved for destruction/punishment).  The only exceptions are when some of the hostile individual’s teammates, friends, family, or countrymen are attractive females who may be compatible with Auz; they will not be neutralized/ended; they will be acquired and sent to either
  1) kajirae training (if they prove to be compatible enough with Auz to start such outstanding re-education),
  2) or the gladiator tournaments beneath Inisfree (if they are only outwardly attractive/compatible with Auz, their personalities not being attractive to him),
  3) or the gladiator tournaments outside Inisfree (if they are not quite attractive/compatible enough inside (personality-wise) or outside (physique and face-wise) with Auz, and if they are/were religious),
  4) or the gladiator tournaments of New/Rebuilt Texas (if they are not quite attractive/compatible enough inside (personality-wise) or outside (physique and face-wise) with Auz, and are from Texas or one of its adjacent fallen/former states, and/or are non-religious).
• Only during The Rapture campaign were acquired girls ever released back into “the wild”; to walk back to their communities.  Ever since The Rapture, any/every girl acquired/captured by/into a WR must be sent to one of those four places… or recycled (de-atomized for ‘fuel’; 3D-printer printing-materials/elements).  The only ones who get recycled are those who are so incompatible/revolting and weak that they would not even be useful/entertaining as forced gladiators.
• only opens a repulsine-portal for itself to ‘jump’ up to ~5 miles away when it has scanned its surroundings and detected no one monitoring it or its vicinity for such an energy-signature (unless such a ‘jump’/portal is approved by its chain-of-command, such as in situations where speed/urgency is the priority)
• drives out of sight/range so it can portal back (either when within 5 miles of a DS, or when a CSBS is opening a Highway Pyramid portal for it) every time it fills up (i.e. acquires up to 80 kajirae-candidates, or as many decent-looking girls as there are within its sensors-range –or within the collective sensors-range/s of the ICVs/ICs it is working with)
• Any non-ICV brought near or in the WR shall be fully scanned, and shall have any detected tracking devices removed (via the painless god-level portal-tech’ of the ICVs/ICs; Inisfreeans can open microscopic selective portals that only ‘suck out’ unwanted specific targeted particles/devices).
• No Outlander contraband is allowed inside any WR; attractive females are not even permitted their clothes or makeup (all of which get automatically removed/disintegrated prior to them walking onboard).
• Every acquired girl must be immediately fully inspected (to the same degree/level Gorean men inspect newly-met/acquired attractive females), including sexually; her willingness to be used fully, without forewarning or explanation, shall be thoroughly tested and documented (recorded by the ICVs doing the inspecting).  The only exception is if combat/defense is taking priority during their arrival at/in the WR; their full inspection/testing will be conducted/completed the moment that combat/defense is taken care of.
• Acquired girls are allowed to “go to the bathroom” (relieve themselves) either in the stasis tubes (which self-purge/clean) or (if there are not enough stasis tubes) right outside the WR (if there are no hostiles within visual/sensor/weapons range of the WR).
• Acquired girls shall be kept in tech’-induced rest/sleep anytime they have become unruly/upset, at least until the WR has returned to its parent-vessel (whether that IC is a DS or CSBS); where those girls can be awoken, unloaded, and further processed into kajirae training.
• This is not a passenger vehicle; only assigned ICVs (personnel on duty) and acquired girls (POWs who are kajirae-candidates) can be transported by a WR.  The only exceptions are High King Auz and anyone he has invited aboard with him –or those he has approved to be safely moved via one of these vehicles (if he is not present himself).

Because of its dimensions and capabilities, this is one of the two most-common Inisfreean vehicles/craft (ICs) used for The Hunt; it is the perfect platform from which to comfortably scout, park, wait, regroup, and inspect acquisitions.
