The answer, though non-confirming, was at least enough for the Handler's brain to latch onto for now. She was right. Michigan was being, well, Michigan! Always putting his faith in the wrong places. Look where that got him with Aurelia at the dam, or with Nile when Aurelia had squared up with...

Walter had spent enough time around Carla to know she didn't just put blind faith into anyone or anything without some sort of trust in who or whatever was involved. It's why he would make sure Aurelia was ready and prepared to fight his old pilot. Well, as much as he could without knowing his...

Walter's jaw clenched as he listened to Carla's assessment of the situation with Sulla. Memories of past hunts, of pilots lost and battles fought, stirred within him, fueling a simmering anger and nervousness beneath his typically stoic exterior. "Sulla," he muttered, the name heavy on his...

Nothing he was going to like? Well that could be anything. There weren't a whole lot of things that the greying man did like when it came to their over-arching mission. He liked that they had a better chance at completing it, and that he had the support of Carla, but the list of 'don't like' was...

The call from Carla came in shortly after his message was relayed by Tiny. Had he been in the right state of mind, he would have texted the right contact, but with the events of the Wall and the threats made by Aurelia? No, he could get a pass this time. It seemed that Carla was not keen on...

There was no more fight, at least that he could tell by her body language and tone, which allowed himself to relax even further. No more jobs against the RLF. He could do that, for now. There would a time where he would have to pull the rug out from under her, but hopefully he and Carla could...

Seeing her posture relax eased Walter's own growing anxieties. He had said the right things, he wasn't in imminent danger. To his knowledge at least. She was too damn smart for her own good, testing him even now as she practically had him cornered in the hangar. She was right, and he felt a...

From the sound of her voice, he could tell she was exhausted, and upset. It had been a hard sortie, especially with Snail trying to get her killed without giving the order outright. Still, her words hit him harder than they thought they would. Just alive? Well, what else did she have to live...

The cargo drop was a success, and Walter couldn't hide a faint grin of satisfaction as he saw Raven swiftly restocking her arsenal. "That's the way, 621. Load up and give 'em hell," he muttered into comms, the enthusiasm in his voice barely contained. She didn't get a full resupply, but the...

To say that Huntress was playing it safe would be a lie. She was getting good at dodging hits when they came, but she was taking enough of them too, blasting away at the armored plating of ARTEMIS as she sprayed the area with machine gun bullets. She wasn't so far gone into anger that she...

Walter was all business the moment that she dropped in, keeping an eye on her surroundings as well as her heart rate and other important information like Comms. He didn't think his pilot would defect, but the possibility was still there. Especially if the RLF made the right counteroffer. He...

Walter wanted to say that the RLF couldn't afford her rates forever, but getting into a fight before a sortie wasn't the best idea, especially if he wanted her to follow the mission correctly and not go AWOL. He had heard of Iguazu's stint at the Wall from the grapevine of rumors and didn't want...

"It seems that Arquebus thinks that the RLF can't beat it." He'd heard about the strategic attacks on the other generators in the area to weaken the wall, likely to draw the heaviest hitters away to hit with the least opposition. After the losses of the STRIDER and the generators, it wouldn't...

Walter gave Aurelia a nod in greeting, letting the corners of his lips twitch upward for a moment. "No, nothing for that yet. I managed to get you in on Operation WallClimber. It's another team mission, corporate this time. You'll be working with V. IV Rusty, and V. IX Huntress to take the...

"That's what I was worried about." Walter sighed and stared blankly at the wall in front of him. She wasn't going to have that kind of information on. Looks like he'd have to reach out himself and hopefully get a foot in the door. He knew how to play nice, and how to appeal to the man formerly...

"I don't know, but I don't like not knowing." If it were really just coral converging, would they go to the lengths that they did to take down the STRIDER and everyone present? That would require some level of intelligence, which Coral didn't have. It was no more intelligent, no more sentient...

The rejection was well received, with Lilith giving a shrug as Handsome ran his fingers through her hair. Well, her mom couldn't fault her for trying. She really needed to finish SHINING ARMOR before she had to leave for the night. RaD was close enough to her home at R3-291 that she commuted...

The red head shouldn't have been as shocked as she was at the next message. Not only was her handler not informing her about the dangers, but was likely sending her after it without the right precautions. Greasy fingers typed rapidly on the tablet screen. Yes! Exactly! An extremely dangerous...

Lilith waited patiently for Raven to get back to her, taking a seat next to Handsome on the foot of SHINING ARMOR and leaning on him. A tanned, muscled arm snaked its way around her waist, pulling her closer to him and pressing a kiss to the crown of her head, drawing a soft, contented hum from...

Lilith had been working on SHINING ARMOR in the hangar bay and chatting with her boyfriend, "Handsome" Lukas, who was sitting atop the front right foot of the massive tetrapod when the message came in, her tablet lighting up across the room and playing a chime. He had gotten into a spat with...
