Liana went through a full spectrum of emotions as Laura talked down to her, expressing them more visibly than she would have in months past. Irriation. Confusion. Anger. But it didn't take long for even that to wash away, replaced with a blank stare. Her old default emotion, and still a face she...

"Slay those who cause war?" XN-L seemed confused. The giant had been dazed by the firepower thrown at her so far, but it wasn't enough to put her down for good. Not yet. Her body began to glow as she focused her magic towards healing, the burns beginning to vanish - but those sparks of light...

She was pinned. XN-L roared as the blades went through her wings - time slowing down as she witnessed her own death. Shining red. Tinged with hatred, and... fear? This was not a suicide maneuver - the pilot had already escaped. Striking against the Ascalon would do nothing but waste her time...

Goryu's fist found purchase, slamming the claw shut and forcing the weapon into being a shield once more. It was enough to stop the first blow short, and the strike to the visor sent the bargain bin scorpion reeling. But it quickly recovered, the pilot responding with a feminine chuckle...

"From you? No. About you? Definitely. You're one of the least subtle people I've met." Liana's ears twitched in irritation. Maybe trying to clear the air like this was a mistake. Having a conversation with Laura still felt like walking through a field of landmines. Any stray statement had a...

The Giant blinked, becoming aware of the Ascalon's change seconds before it impacted her. Something flashed in her eyes. Recognition. This was different from the feeling that had drawn her towards the Ascalon, but it was infinitely more familiar to her. Hatred. XN-L could feel the emotions of...

"Don't be ridicious. Shooting an inanimate object would be like trying to teach a rock to think. Theoretically possible, but a waste of time and effort!" Dylan laughed, waving off Vertalis's initial suggestions in both a metaphorical and literal sense. He was willing to entertain some of the...

A jungle. Of all the places to bring what was functionally an artillery piece, they chose the jungle. The locals might have called it a forest, but neither word really captured the sheer majesty of the natural envionment below. You could hide an army in that, and apparently someone had. In...

"The Chosen will not bow to you! Not while our guardian watches over us!" The damaged unit shouted back first, the pilot practically spitting into their microphone as they leapt back from the whip. Vulcans blazing away in defiance with the hope of at least slowing down the hostile ace. Their...

September 6th, 11:54am Local Time Ethiopia, Edge of DEC Forest "Commencing third test of the Scientific Resolution's main gun. I hope we've had the cameras set to account for the energy spikes this time. Mobile Weapons don't grow on trees, you know!" An echoing roar rocked the ship...

Liana would follow with a shrug, making a point of closing the door once they were both alone. A smile crossed her face when Laura inevitably begun the sass. For all her issues with the fox.. she had missed that in a way. It was better when directed at others, but right now it was almost a...

"Hostile Contact! Looks like they're not going to just hand it over quietly." Both Huckebeins twisted towards the source of the radar blip, photon rifles trained on the water. But they were slow. Just slow enough to leave an opening. Their return fire tore through the pod the Wildschwein had...

September 18th, OE 102 21:32 local time equivalent? Something was calling to her. An echo on the wind at first, a whisper echoing directed at nobody in particular - but something she couldn’t take her eyes from. She'd come here for a vantage point, but the hill itself stood out more than...

Southern China - Location unknown September 5th. A notification. A message on an old account - one she hadn't touched in over six months. Normally she'd just ignore it, but this one stood out. Separate from the countless job offers and contracts. Ashley hadn't spent the time since the fall of...

Liana spent most of the banquet on the fringes, eating her fill and dismissing most attempts at conversation. Her attention was focused on the fox from the moment she entered, but something stopped her from confronting Laura immediately. Not that she was against dragging her former companion out...

It was.. charging? The Bergelmir's fist was barely able to catch the uppercut, almost immediately shattering under the sheer force of the impact. But it had done the job it needed to - dulling the blow enough that the machine itself remained stable and grounded. Just in time for the second...

Southern Italy 2nd September, 11:15AM The first sign of trouble was a Killer Whale surfacing off the coastline, broadcasting a distorted and long out-of-date Directory IFF. The Forsaken as it was now calling itself had been out of contact since the fall of the original Directory, and now it...

Wenzel's reactions were barely good enough to notice the appearing remotes, but the Bergelmir wasn't able to move fast enough to block the shots. Shot after shot needled the Mobile Weapon, and while the machine cells were closing the holes almost as quickly as they appeared, almost wasn't...

Two hours later L4 Colony - Military Docks Three mobile weapons had been sent out for what was ostensibly a salvage mission. Only one had returned. A bad omen at the best of times, but when one of the machines lost was a prototype it quickly tilted towards catastrophic. And while the pilot had...

"Secondary threats confirmed. Unfortunate." There was no hesitation as the Bergelmir opened fire, a pair of focused shots aimed at the first Gun Slave to show itself. Two more would follow at the second remote, but any hope of a third burst was dashed when the Iabaladoth whipped up a dust...
