Episode 3 Operation 2B: Perfect Water As the Chimera flopped through the air like a gorilla with a rocket lodged in its ass, the pursuing drones were evidently calculating the best point of attack; rudely interrupted by the artillery-mech's attention-seeking round of AP coming through their...

Episode 3 MAVERICK Command Center, New Baltimore Oswald, self-proclaimed provisionary commander for the current clusterfuck, gazed over the current residents and equipment inside the top floor of New Baltimore's resident MAVERICK facility. Several rows of computer banks, set aside just for data...

Episode 3: Resume Operation 2A, Grecian Hostage As the Vanguard inched closer to the SoZ's main force in the tunnels, and the Emperor lead the charge for the military police before being blockaded by a stretch of anti-tank mines, the Janus was similarly stopped by a suspiciously open stretch of...

Episode 3 Operation 2B: Perfect Water Waypoint after waypoint broke way for the last team to launch, a flying duo that was reaching the area of operations with a rapidity unique to the pair. The two contrasting flight regimes, well-honed aerodynamic forces versus trusting thrust alone to...

Episode 3, Operation 2A: Grecian Hostage The Vanguard promptly maneuvered through the shortest available tunnel, and quickly realized how cramped the situation truly was, being forced to lean downwards as a portion of the secondary constricted vertically. The NC wasn't forced to crouch, but it...

Episode 3, Operation 2C: Broken Tomahawk The fireteam of two that was sent to the south-eastern coastline were eventually met with an unmistakable, distant outline piercing through the thickened haze, reminiscent of an edge to the landscape on the horizon that was swaddled closely by a thick...

Episode 3, Operation 2A: Grecian Hostage The Chief-of-Police sighed, a heavy breath that expelled a mixture of tension and simple air. At least two of those damn Linkers could follow orders. Maybe this clusterfuck would end alright? In his long service to New-Maryland he never experienced an...

Episode 3, Operation 2C: Broken Tomahawk Before the two could further their discussion, Scott and Peyton were notified that they were cleared to launch and expected to do so. The lifts which held their Neural Combatants groaned to life, platforms meeting up with the surface and aiming the mechs...

Episode 3, Operation 2A: Grecian Hostage As the three Neural Combatants assigned to 'Grecian Hostage' launched and grouped up while underway, they were given a waypoint-pathway to the relevant area of operations by the leading team of Handlers. Checkpoint one, two, and three were breached one...

Episode 3, Operation: Grecian Hostage The discussion of the three members in Team A was temporarily halted by the commanding team of Handlers, mostly Sarah Nielsen of course, approving a final check for flight and notifying the lot that their mission was initiated and they could, and should...

Episode 3: Pre-Mission The three Linkers assigned to the 'A-Team', and their relevant Neural Combatants were walking to their rightful place at the start of the base's runway; flanked by the beginnings of a coast on one end, and the base's above-ground hangars to another. Walking carefully on...

Episode 3: The Briefing After Peyton expressed her acceptance of the call-to-arms, the Mayor's eyes lit up; seemingly impressed by the sudden, thankless offer of assistance. She didn't even mention pay in the same breath. He wasn't one to directly interact with Linkers, but he always heard...

EP 2/3 Intermission: A meeting room, somewhere. The short, black-haired man looked on, dejected and bored; awaiting his new contact and passing the time like a child in a doctor's office, kicking his legs and finding busywork for his fingers. He was wearing a rough plaid-shirt, unbuttoned a few...

EP 2/3 Intermission: Dockyard The calm seas outside the port were riddled with the rough waves characteristic of a coming and slowly worsening storm; the ocean's horizon covered in a fog even thicker than the one currently overhanging the city itself, not to mention a good portion of the...

Episode 2: Curtain Call The day simmered down. The party was at a lowered tempo, but the folks who stayed managed to have something resembling a good time. Simple discussions about nothing in particular peppered the atmosphere of the building as the Linkers involved dialed down a bit and had a...

Episode 2: Azata's Kitchen As Hazel went into the base details of her own history, it was easy to notice Rosa's quickly changing mood; from a light, sneering attitude at Streuben's haughty idea to something more charmed in reaction to Hazel's own home-grown humbleness. A curt smile showed...
