Shirou had his hands full as he faced off against the mass of bugs exploding out of what used to be the mess tent. Three mechs had stayed at the central field, three more had joined him at the mess tent, and Rachel the card shark was piloting her Firestorm around the vicinity of the civilian...
<< "Sure, sounds fun," Mikasa replied. "And Sargent, you don't have to be so formal with me. Mikasa, or Jade Dragon out in the field, will do just fine." >>
Johnny smiled at that. “Sure, Mikasa. My pleasure. See you in a few, once we get the table set up.”
Soon the game was in progress, and...
Guys, I am so sorry for ghosting on you. The first few nights I just had one mini crisis after another: then CoVid hit. That stuff is nasty! I am pretty much past it, but weak as a kitten, and a bit dazed and confused. So, apologies again, but it will take a bit more time before I can post. I...

Hey, there, @starlightredux . I take it things are out of control for you again, and am sorry to hear that. We would sure love another post from you if at all possible. The game is kinda dead in the water until either you post or bow out.
Best wishes, one way or another!
<< Mikasa left the medical wing and started to follow the instructions from the PA message. >>
As Mikasa entered the general hangar Johnny approached, a big smile on his face and riffling through a deck of cards in his hands.
“Corporal Clayden, Ma’am! Nice to see you again: great job today...
An announcement came over the PA. “Attention, all units. The base is hereby on Yellow Alert. All personnel, report to alert stations and remain until relieved.
“Attention all pilots: Ladies, it’s time for Saturday Night Sleepover. Move pup tents and sleeping rolls to your Mech hangers. Be ready...
<< "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH" Shirou shot up, screaming for a few seconds, before realizing he was in a bed.
"Um... sorry bout that!" >>
The girl relaxed and shook her head. “That’s okay. Happens more often than you might think.”
She retrieved her book and set it on a side table. “I’m...
<< Mikasa let out a sigh. "What I was trying to say back there was that...I lost my parents too. Both were killed by bugs." She stayed silent after that. >>
Diana regained some composure, wiping away her tears. “So, that’s why you fight.” It was a statement, not a question. During the ride...
Welcome back, Jackson! Sorry you missed our first big combat. Don't worry, there's more to come. But atm, we're just headed for home and bed. Hope you won't find it too boring. We just have a bit of character dev between our fights...
<< "I wasn't always a mech pilot...," she said softly to Diana... >>
“Yeah?” sniffed Diana, “So?”
<< Old memories started to well up, but now wasn't a good time to be distracted. She pushed them down and started moving the rubble pinning down the Jade Hawk. >>
There was one huge chunk of...
<< "You're not alone, Diana. I know what that's like...," Mikasa said as she patted the crying girl's head. >>
“How could you know?” the girl wept: “I heard them _eating_ my Mom! And I couldn’t do _anything_ to stop it!”
<< "Step back," Mikasa spoke to the civilian through her speakers. She...
<< Thankfully, the Cerberus Hovertank arrived to lend back up. The tank opened fire on the bug, but the unfortuneate part was that it was directly firing from behind Himself and the Jade Dragon. >>
From that distance, none of the Cerberus’ weapons had the range to actually hit, but the howl of...
<< "GET OUT OF MY WAY!" Shirou yelled as his Jade Hawk fired several missiles directly towards the tail of the mammothine insect, before bringing its right claw up towards the head of the scorpion, aiming to hit the brain of it. >>
Shirou’s missiles missed the wildly thrashing tail of the...
<< "Bring it on!" He yelled as he got into melee combat with the insects. The claws of the Jade Hawk made more metalic slashing noises as the bugs hit by the claws splattered blood onto his machine. >>
These claws were even more effective than his chainsaw, he was finding out. Every bug he...
<< "We should do this again sometime, tiger," she said. "See you after my show." She flashed a foxy smile and winked at her vampire boyfriend. >>
“Definitely,” Tom said, “to both.”
But now the distraction was over, he needed to focus on the business soon at hand. He climbed the steps to...
Thanks, Shadow. I'm having a rough time composing this one. Trying to get the storyline moving again: we're kind of stuck in a resting mode.
Bringing up Altheus as a reminder of where we're headed, looking for some immediate action and not finding it. Also, personal distractions taking their...
<< To assist Johnny, she fired volley after volley of lasers, alternating between both PPC cannons on her mech's arms. >>
Alternating PPCs kept her mech running cool: both PPCs at once would have heated her up. Each laser she fired chopped through a couple of bugs, but the PPC shots made four...
