Jaakko maneuvers to close in to missile range.

"You should see the roosterpit when we land, having these screens everywhere is pretty unusual,"

Jaakko maneuvers to close in to missile range.
"You should see the roosterpit when we land, having these screens everywhere is pretty unusual,"

She neglects to respond and suddenly pulls a hard left, now flying perpendicular to you with a southwest heading. You are now in missile range, gun is still three turns away at your current speed and heading.

trust me, you dont want the next mission to be this character's first
everyone should make a loadout btw, and i do mean everyone

spooky


Gus walks over to Pagodin while observing the hangar. "Quite the project you've got, much more extensive than I had imagined." He gestures towards the walker. "I assume that's the 'Vengeance?' It doesn't look too bad."

[comr4de]

Can the kintharians equipment pick up his radio transmissions and thus triangulate his location from that?

: I'll admit, it does look rather imposing when it's standing still, held up by external supports. Just wait til you see it in motion under its own power, we're taking it for a walk here soon if you want to observe.

An EW plane? Probably. A single-seat fighter? Doubtful. Even if she could triangulate his location, her weapons still wouldn't be able to lock.

[Tayasaurus]

Tippy sensing something rad had tailed Gus to the hangar.

"Hey Gus watcha d- what the forget is that." She says striding through the entrance pointing at the mechanical mess parked on the other side of the hangar.

[Gojira]

I head past the hangars where they're working on the mech.
"What're y'all looking- what the forget."

[CypherX]

"Tippy, this is Mikhail Pagodin. Pagodin, this is fellow Mjolnir pilot Tippy."

He pauses to look at the walker for a moment, then towards the entrance.

"And here comes another Mjolnir pilot, Akemi Yui."

"I think I'll let you explain," looking back at Pagodin.

[Qwepir]

"I think I'll let you explain," looking back at Pagodin.

: Better yet, I'll show you.

Pagodin climbs in the roosterpit and starts reading off a checklist of apparently important information, audible over an intercom mounted on the vehicle.
: Clamps in place, electronics online, fuel injectors unobstructed... Alright everyone, stand clear, I'm booting it up.

Support crew get out of the way as the walker's power plant comes online with a rising pitch tapering off into a dull hum.
: Pressure is holding... looks good. Releasing clamps.

The walker releases the clamps anchoring it to the support structure, putting the full weight on its own legs and sagging down even further before being pushed up to its ordinary height. For a moment, it looks like the legs won't be able to support the weight, but they hold strong and the walker takes its first ground-shaking steps forward into the middle of the hangar. The upper body turns towards the exit and Pagodin spots the three of you standing between him and it.
: You three better get out of the way, unless you want to be mailed home in an envelope.

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko changes course to be flying parallel to Nagato's heading, and begins climbing.


Jalko and Talko enter the 'mech hanger. Jalko goes to a corner and sounds like a backed up pipe. He throws up a chewed centipede.

[Gojira]

"Uh."
I step aside so I'm not turned into a paper plate.

[Qwepir]

Jaakko changes course to be flying parallel to Nagato's heading, and begins climbing.

She continues on her current heading for a while, then turns once again, ending up pointing towards where you just were.
: [...Anytime, now.]

Gun range is now in one turn, rather than the two it would have been, due to the fact that she is now flying towards you.

[CypherX]

Gus gets out of the way, a little quicker than necessary. He turns to Tippy and Yui after glancing at the dogs.

"Captured Huit walkers. The guys up top tasked Pagodin here with making them able to hunt Imperial armor."

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko pulls higher and completes a loop, putting himself in to a very steep dive. He decloaks and fires an AAM.


The dogs, scared by the stomping machine, dash out of the hanger.

[Qwepir]

Pagodin turns the legs to face the direction the upper body is, and starts walking towards the exit.
: Just a little jaunt around the hangars, nothing too intensive, have to see how the frame handles the extra weight in motion. Aaand, there's a warning light already. Noted.

He sets off to do a route on the service roads, at a blistering speed of... well, barely above a human's jog.

She pulls back on the stick and snap-fires a pair of TAG beacons as she narrowly evades the all-aspects. Apparently she is as shocked as you are that they missed, because she doesn't even gloat about her success. You are now in gun range, though you aren't lined up to take a shot.
