ABS FIESTA REDUX

[Tayasaurus]

"Well i got nothing to go on so no point in pursuing it unless it happens again. And if it IS Morten, i doubt me talking to Rikard would yield any results."

[Ad Bot]

[ZombiLoin]

: And now I don't have to taste it as much, what's the problem?

Faw finishes eating most of his food.

"The energy weapon that was on the new Imperial airframe worries me. The Helians and the Zents are in bed with each other, right?"

: You could say that.
: What new airframe?

[ZombiLoin]

: You could say that.
: What new airframe?

"The IAF had a new aircraft that was carrying some kind of energy weapon that was obviously Helian. It was very manoeuvrable, but once Walt got a decent firing solution on it, it disintegrated in a millisecond."

: Only a matter of time until Helios gives them the blueprints for their combat bots as well, then we might as well all go home.
: How would that be any different from the current situation? Helios already sells them robots by the thousand.
: That's just it, they're being sold. Meaning they're still being built in Helios. If the Helians sell the Goths the rights to build their own, you can bet they'll be churning out more than the GTO armies can destroy.
: I know! We could detonate an EMP large enough that it effects the whole planet...
: Have you been watching Space Adventure again?
: You know that would ruin the lives of anyone who relies on sophisticated bionics.
: Yeah, so?

While the others debate the flaws in Nagato's EMP plan, the squad leaders do their best to ignore it.
: At least it got taken down quickly.
: Next time we encounter one we might not be as fortunate. Walter did take it down with his half dozen guns, but in doing so he nearly died, and his plane was totaled. I don't think that's an efficient trade, and it doesn't leave much room for error.

Faw finishes eating his food and dumps the tray off by a garbage chute.

[Mr. Hurricane]

The words sting a bit.

"I don't think he resents me as much as he did," Jaakko replies uncomfortably.

[Qwepir]

Three weeks go by, Gus and Jaakko are now healed, and Rikard has concluded teaching those who showed up. However, the Shikra still has not been returned, there's still no word on when another Fenrir will be shipped in, and word has spread that the Imperials have broken the stalemate in the south and are slowly but surely gaining ground.

Coaxoch, Musashi and Virvel are in the gym; Kommandant and Frisk are on a patrol; Eremit is in the recroom; and Morten and the rest of Raiden are hanging around their planes.

[carolcat]

Cualli, taking her break, heads to the rec room to relax and cool off a bit. She sits in a chair not too far from Eremit and greets him with a tired "hey" before drinking from the water bottle she brought with her.

[CypherX]

For the first time in nearly a month, Gus is able to return to the gym. The medical staff were wary of allowing him to exert himself with fresh implants, keeping him on an even stricter diet and restricting physical activity to cardio and minimal lifting, mostly to preserve muscle mass. Despite that, his physique has slipped some, not being as lean as before and losing around two pounds of muscle. He returned to the heavy bag early in the morning with vigor, but despite his best efforts to counter it there is a small but noticeable hitch in anything thrown from his left hand. Memory of the searing abdominal pain causes him to wince when using his left side. Taking a month off has not done wonders for his endurance, and he instead moves to the power rack.

Gus finishes his last set of military presses as the sun begins to peak over the horizon, and he notices that Virvel, Musashi and Coaxoch have entered the gym along with a steady stream of other base personnel.

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko is in the recroom, now healed. He is sitting a chair with Jalko at his side and Talko curled in has lap, as much as a huge dog could be at least. Jaakko is bitter with the news that the Impeials are advancing.

He glances up from his book.
: Hello.

Musashi is spotting for Coaxoch as she lifts weights, and Virvel is currently sparring with one of the other personnel. None of them notice you enter, not right away at least.

i have no response for this

[carolcat]

Cualli looks at his book to see what the cover and title is. "What're you reading?"

[Mr. Hurricane]

Jaakko hears Cualli's voice. He sees that she's with Eremit and decides to get up and ask how the bot is doing. Talko perks his head up and stares in her direction, before hopping off the chair and pulling on the leash.

Jaakko and the dogs approach, with Jaakko limping ever so slightly.

"Morning," Jaakko greets Cualli and Arkhip.

[Badger]

Walter enters the gym and takes a seat not to far off from Virvel, while he watches he flips around a package inspecting it.
