scorri Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Astin couldn't help but grin as first the fist made a solid hit, even as they took a glancing blow in return, and then they dodged the second incoming attack. "Time to really test this thing out." The second weapon that had come pre-installed on the bot flipped out, revealing a long blade that started rapidly vibrating at a speed far too high for human eyes to see. They slashed into the attacking bot, nearly bisecting the enemy as they did, leaving it just barely operational. They were about to attack again when they spotted Elaine on their cameras targeting an enemy mech that had almost reached the base. "Well that won't do..." Turning the mech around, they rushed back and followed up the missiles with a vicious slash from their new blade. Astin cast Gain, move to 17-13, SWORD the bot to death.

Ether Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 They had managed to hold the enemy from the base for the most part, the enemy mechs being stopped, aside from one that ignored their line entirely and darted past. Kim had been about to shoot them down, but quick intervention from Elaine and Astin made that unnecessary. With the other two mechs locked in combat, Kim turned her attention to the Eastern front, which seemed to have more enemies floating around, in the form of bomber planes. "Not chance." Seung-Min muttered, as she closed in on the approaching aerial craft, deploying her rippers at the closest, using the Mk.III's gatlings to corral the plane into the shredder with ease.

Phoenix Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 More firepower came, alright, though Brant sorely wished it hadn't been the MK.III. Reacting quickly, he had just enough time to reattach his funnels before he lost all control of them. "Terrific ..." he sighed. The squad hadn't been wiped out just yet, but Brant couldn't risk a counterattack in this state, so he started to ascend, again. "Just need a bit of distance ..." He thought back to the moment everything had gone silent, trying to gauge the approximate range of Christina's silencing effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riariadne Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Dwight carefully observed as battle was engaged rather quickly after the Riese reached the base. Though the battle seemed to mostly be going reasonably successful, one front of weakness for the ANF was clear- that Hannah had suffered severe damage. The least I can do is provide some assistance there. Approaching one of the computers, Dwight took a few moments to deploy remote shielding for the most damaged Vellite. "I've taken the liberty of providing you with some shielding, Hannah. It's no full repair, but they should hold up well enough that you can endure more attacks if it comes to it- hopefully this is just a precaution rather than a necessity," he spoke over coms.

Shin Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 It wasn't entirely clear why the entire enemy force had chosen to opt for his allies over himself, but it had put him in an optimal position to continue aiding Brant. Kim's Mk III was incredible to watch, the rippers' destructive ability was simply phenomenal. Was this really the power that she had within her? With the remains of the Hunter falling from the sky, Tarquin could see Brant's target, another viable enemy to remove from the battle. Brant had been relatively successful in softening it up for him, although he'd actually need to hit the target. "Oni 1, this is Oni 3. Preparing to finish your tagged target." Tarquin announced, adjusting his aim and locking on to the damaged Hunter. "I commend your accuracy and evasive prowess." Most of the Hunter's squadron had been wiped out, which would hopefully give them some breathing room. Hannah and Nikolai had taken significant damage, and Astin had received a few scratches. There was also Elaine, but for some reason Tarquin didn't feel quite as concerned about her wellbeing as the others. Tarquin activates Sense and attacks Hunter #2 with his Beam Rifle - Bill's intuition, or bintuition as he liked to call it, had been right on the mark. "Gotta earn my bikkies somehow, Doctor. Hopefully you've been laying off the cancer sticks, ash is harder to get out of a carpet than beans out of a burrito." he laughed, completely ignorant to any animosity between them. He couldn't blame her for it too much, it was probably stressful having to help other people with their woes as well as dealing with one's own. Bill barely had any of his own problems to deal with as it was! "I'll be out of your hair before you can put a bell on a cow and call it Sally." Bill assured, not wanting to intrude too long, just long enough to get a glance at the carpets. "You probably get enough of an earbashing from everyone who pops over for a visit. I'm sure you give them a fair go though, it'd be nice to see a few people a little chirpier." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She shoved the small, ceramic dish towards the edge of her table, surprised by his next comment-- not the cow one. "You'd think, but... I haven't really been getting many people coming to see me. Can't tell you who has, of course; have to be confidential... But I was expecting to see at least three or four people... Not just one.

Sandalphon Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Nikolai grunted as the enemy got a good hit in, causing the mechanical behemoth to rock violently. He rolled his eyes, his brows furrowing as the throbbing pain in his hindbrain slowly spread, intensifying as the mechanical device contracted around the tender, swollen tissue. Instinctively, he pursued the enemy, filled with a strange, grim elation at the possibility of harming the person inside the metal armour as much as possible, making them pay for trying to take his life. His limbs were light, filled with electricity as he maneuvered his titanic killing machine in their general direction. A shudder of anticipation travelled down his spine as he drew a mechanical blade, ready to plunge it into whatever he could reach. Dully, in a corner of his mind still struggling to retain control and not succumb to the pulsing heat in his limbic system, a voice carried on, Nassun Dorma, none shall sleep... Perhaps the song was still exiting his lips, he did not know. Niko casts focus, moves to (20,11) and uses the rapier on the unfortunate Cress 1 as Hannah supports incision knife Also he probably keeps humming arias which is mildly off-putting. the boy is a mess.

Balcerzak Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Despite a few rough patches, things were proceeding more or less apace. Spying an enemy straggler near the middle of their formation, Thorvald executed a bit of discretion and moved to hopefully remove the thorn from their side. Close range would be the best bet for this one, so he readied his beam sword and made the short charge from his current position to where he'd need to be to land a blow.

They'd focused heavily on the Riese, and while it didn't look like it had taken too much damage, they still needed to prevent more attacks if possible.

Dandragon Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 She couldn't finish the guy off. Even with all the pent up anger she had, Elaine still left the enemy robot still standing, though only barely. She was glad that Astin was able to secure the kill and make sure he (or she) didn't get into the base, but it still ate at her to know that she basically had set up an enemy for others to take it down, if not outright miss them completely and need help. Was she still distracted? Was she off her game? Or was she just bad at piloting? These questions would have to wait, however, as the remaining 'Cressida' units were coming towards the base, and attacking her comrades. Info on each of the mechs came up on screen, and she spotted one that would be easy to take out. However, doubt had already entered her mind, and she was hesitant to throw whatever she had at the enemy. With a deep breath, she swallowed her pride for but a moment. "Hannah!

Balcerzak Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 The initial wave had now been fully repulsed, and they could afford to play a little less defense, and a little more offense. Taking a cue from his fellow squad leader, Thorvald pushed beyond the line the enemy had formed, to strike from behind. Thorvald moves to 17, 9 and attacks with Impact Gunlance.

Phoenix Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) That doomed hunter might not have gotten the chance to fight back, but that wasn't the case with the incoming cressidas. Nobody panic? The ship wasn't fairing too poorly, even after their concerted attacks, and the captain was exhibiting near model behavior. Near model, since overwhelming aggression wasn't ideal. Seeing Jessica holding her own under so much hostility was so bewildering to Megumi that the doctor couldn't even register the actual danger they were all in. What was it about social interaction that was so daunting compared to enemy mobile suits coming up on them like wolves? Maybe it was the simple fact that Jessica always had the biggest gun, and therefore the most potent rebuttals in the argument called battle. That was the best Megumi could come up with in the heat of the moment. She figured Cheryl would come to a similar conclusion, if not a more in depth one ... There was Nikolai's strange feed, again. If it were anyone else, the doctor might have checked in on them by now ... "What is with him ...?" she murmured. As much as she hated the idea of examining Nikolai in person, the lunatic certainly warranted it. If something happened to him or the other pilots because of the doctor's own negligence, the hammer would inevitably come down on her. Megumi felt her whole body twist in disgust at both outcomes. The ship was struck hard at that very instant, letting her real concerns go completely unnoticed. The remaining hunters were all downed in seconds, though there was always the chance they had been an effective distraction. Half the team was out of position, and the enemy cressidas were closing in from the southwest at quite the clip. Being furthest out, Brant decided to weigh his options as he made his way back across the southern perimeter of the base toward the skirmish. Pulling up the stats on his allies, he took note, though he didn't have to check there to notice some of the damage the team had suffered. After swiftly checking the ID on the damaged velite, Brant's eyes lit up. "Hannah, it's Brant, do you need a hand? I'm too far out of position to attack, anyway." She was working especially hard to help them repel this attack ... just like the last time. Bless her circuits. "Assistance accepted and appreciated, Lieutenant Abrams. Apologies for causing disruption on the battlefield." Brant smirked. Apologies? Bless her circuits twofold. "Hannah, apologize to the enemy for ruining their plans; you're doing right by us." He was already on his way over, readying the repair module and locking onto Hannah's damaged velite. "It won't be much, but it's a start," Brant said, activating the module as soon as he was in range. Brant moves to 21,10 and uses the Repair Module on Hannah's Velite.

Ether Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 They had managed to finish off all of the first wave of Apotheosis mecha, with the second wave incoming fast... and making the odd decision to engage the Heion Riese directly. After the first of them received a hefty retaliation from the battleship's Beam cannons, the others opted to avoid engaging in their fire range, for good reason. They had mopped this group up fairly quickly, with only two units remaining, one of which had been heavily damaged by it's altercation with the Riese. "Trojan Horse, this Oni-2. Request suppress fire on Cressida Unit 6!" Kim called out over the comms to the Riese, as the Mk.III began to move towards the target.

Ether Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) As the Riese showered the Cressida in suppressing fire, the Mk.III rushed in towards the Apotheosis machine, deftly weaving through the volleys coming from the battleship's anti-air guns as it's heated gauntlet began to glow, the advanced Velite model's hand crushing through the armoured plate of the Cressida's main chassis with ease, the pulse cannon revving to life with a daunting glow as it fired through the Cressida's cockpit, completely disintegrating the inner workings of the machine, along with it's pilot. "Thank support, Trojan Horse." Kim radioed to the Captain, as the Mk.III flew through the now-empty space where the Cressida used to be, it's limbs and head sparking and falling away as the main body of the mech was vaporized by the Mk.III's pulse cannon.

Hannah paused again, pondering what Brant meant by what he said. It took her a moment, her radio crackling back into his cockpit. "A query, Lieutenant. Should I attempt contact with the enemy and offer them apologies for destroying them? I am unsure how literal you wish for me to be with your statement." Would that make their passing easier or more comfortable? It was a situation she didn't quite understand. Quiet Space The sounds of battle were rather dull, inside the cockpit. Whatever insulation they used for sound in these things, it was helping Christina concentrate. Kim was still feeling confident, composed, and even happy. That must've meant the battle was going well, and that let Chrissy stay calm. With a sigh, she kept her eyes closed, putting whatever song she could into her head to try and keep the dull noises of battle away from her.
