[OOC] The War of the Three

[TheWendil]

Eos launched plasma from her position that affected the entire facility. Artoria aimed at the source of the plasma.

@The 42nd Gecko

Didn't Artoria only jump down from her perch spot though? I read it as she attacked the Eos located at the bottom, not necessarily the real Eos located at the heart of the base.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@TheWindel If the heart of the base is somewhere not between its top and its bottom, I think I'd like to go home now.

[KoL]

Either any of those explanations, or we can just assume that Eos redirected Artoria's attack as well which does make sense, if she wanted to use the Demons' power against themselves.

The thing is that I'm fixing the relatively and barely explained positions using my last post. We proceed from here on, since it's clear that no one had any idea of who were where before.

[KoL]

@The 42nd Gecko

If it makes it easier for your mind, we can have the directions of my post inverted, since there's nothing against all of this be happening above the level of the factory where the control room is located. As far as I'm aware, everyone is above if you are telling me that Artoria is moving on the opposite direction than the one I described, since I'm sure that Shizuka and Mephilus are nowhere near the Control Room.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@KoL Yeah. That does make sense.

[Gardevoiran]

Question time!

Are all of the mech-suits taken?

[TheWendil]

Are all of the mech-suits taken?

@Banana

I don't think so.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Banana Yes. Shizuka has one, Hibiki has another, Artoria has the last.

@KoL@Ryonara Both of you guys completely failed to acknowledge what happened with Mephila's desperation attack, what happened with that?

[Gardevoiran]

@The 42nd Gecko
I'm about 75% sure you are trying to psych me out...

@TheWindel
Sweet. I may have Lillian claim the last one.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Banana I'm not. I can link you to the posts where each of these things happened.

If Windel added more suits, that's something I can't account for, but all three of the ones KoL introduced are taken.

[KoL]

@KoL@Ryonara Both of you guys completely failed to acknowledge what happened with Mephila's desperation attack, what happened with that?

@The 42nd Gecko

No, I did not. I had Eos time her move for that as well, just read my post.

[Gardevoiran]

@The 42nd Gecko
Please link. I am genuinely curious.

[Ryonara]

@Banana Yes. Shizuka has one, Hibiki has another, Artoria has the last.

@KoL@Ryonara Both of you guys completely failed to acknowledge what happened with Mephila's desperation attack, what happened with that?

@The 42nd Gecko

I kinda thought Shizuka's digging to the floor below her would imply she's avoiding the attack, though in hindsight I should specify that.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Ryonara Yeah, I missed that KoL's dodge was implied based on how things were timed, rather than explicitly saying she dodged. I assume the same applies to you.

THE BATTLE OF KC-00032

...

— The Machina count with the support of KC-00032 itself. The factory's arsenal of experimental weapons can give an edge to the Machina as long as they can keep control over it. Among the weapons there's a set of three functional prototype Exosuits, stored in the facility. These suits known as (α, β and γ) can be combined (as long as they remain operational), forming three different configurations: Form I (ranged attack power), Form II (melee attack power) and Form III (defense). Such a machine has power to face to face even the mightiest of the Heavens' or Hell's forces.

---

@KoL

There's the three.

Hibiki & Shizuka

...
Neither Hibiki nor Shizuka wasted time on formalities during this battle. As High Queen Eos herself was participating, both commanders arrived promptly and proceeded to commandeer the exosuits stored at KC-00032. Hibiki took the Alpha Exo-Skeleton while Shizuka manned the Beta Exo-Skeleton. They left the Gamma Suit behind, however Hibiki made sure to secure the Gamma suit with high yield explosives; in the event that it falls into enemy hands, Hibiki would detonate these explosives to destroy the suit and whoever had it. They could be disarmed of course, with Hibiki's permission. Knowing the power these suits had she also kept a monitor on the Gamma suit to ensure that if anyone tampered with it, she would know.

...

@Ryonara

Hibiki took one, Shizuka took another.

Artoria, Master of the Maniacal Menagerie

...

Tearing open the fabric of space, Bunny Ears, Fox Tails, Pangolin Claws, and Magpie Wings at the ready, she flashed into the room next to the room with the Gamma suit. With Hibiki distracted by fighting, she wouldn't likely notice Artoria in time, as she both wasn't in the room with the Gamma suit, and rather than try to disengage the security mechanisms, try to wear the suit, or any of that, Artoria simply sucked Gamma and that entire wall between the two rooms into her Gates of Tartarus in a fraction of a second. And once inside the Gates of Tartarus, which had a stasis effect and a dimensional barrier, it would likely be protected it from Hibiki's explosives. Now, the suit was still rigged with explosives (even if prevented from exploding while within the Gates of Tartarus), so Artoria couldn't use it, but neither could anyone else unless they could reach into Artoria's Gates of Tartarus. @Ryonara

...

@The 42nd Gecko

Artoria took the last.

[TheWendil]

@Banana, @The 42nd Gecko

In that case, yes, there are no more mechs available.

[Lucius Cypher]

@The 42nd Gecko The Gamma maybe still be there if you want to retcon stealing the suit in the first place. Seemed rather odd for Artorias to just be able to find the super secret super mech suits without so much as asking for directions.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Lucius Cypher

Artoria, Master of the Maniacal Menagerie

"Er, hey! I was totally being useful, or something! See, I'm um, ... Checking the visual feeds from our spies to pick the right point to strike at once my Gates of Tartarus finish filling with supercharged lava!" While a few hasty swipes on her phone made it seem unlikely that that was actually what she was doing before she held the phone up for Lucille to see, it was definitely what she was doing NOW.

@The 42nd Gecko

Artoria spent two posting cycles charging up and gathering intel before striking, now that I double check my sources. The defenders had two entire turns to use grab the exosuits and use them (and two people did), before Artoria struck.

[Gardevoiran]

@TheWindel@The 42nd Gecko
... can I have a magical bag of sand near Lillian.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Banana Hell, you can probably have a mech suit, this is a machina base. Just steal some unnamed NPC's ride. It just won't be a super de dooper awesome one.
