As the orders came down that the GEAR pilots were ready to deploy, Reeza Whiteflash, the borderlands Miitia turned LDF pilot was keeping herself entertained with a tiny handheld gaming device. The CO had requested the pilots be located and brought to her attention for deployment. While some of the other members may have been able to blend in, Reeza did her best to make sure she was rarely missed. Bright pink pigtails, a dye made in the borderlands, tied up in a pair of pigtails was her standard style. Alongside her Fuzzy Militia bandanna, far from standard combat attire. Her scorched red combat boots, and sort-of issued cargo pants were close enough to the norm to pass. The sleeveless shirt proudly displaying the latest show she'd attented. "The Machine gun blues," was a little closer to a questionable. Reeza always seemed to skate the line for another reprimand, however, they sometimes worried what Reeza would wear just to spite the higher-ups, besides, the unit she was finally re-assigned to rarely gave her flack on her dress code anyways.
"Wait, tryin' to catch dis stupid monstah!" The white furred with bright pink pigtailed ferret chirped as she heard her orders to deploy echoed through the carrier. As Reeza realized everyone was waiting for her to take action, she grumbled, closing the shell of her video game system. Slipping it into the pocket of her cargo pants. The remaining member of the Fuzzy Militia grinned as she picked up her blade.
"Allright! Reeza been gettin' bored!" Reeza picked up the familiar leather jacket, well loved by it's previous owner. The emblem of the LDF proudly displayed alongside various other patches she'd acquired through her adventures. The original identification patch, denoting the owner of the jacket as "Kommanda" was followed by a bright yellow patch of a cracked smiley face, the identifer of the Fuzzy Militia proudly displayed underneath. On the back of the jacket, the Icon proudly grinned back, challenging all who dared stand against the self-appointed "Punk Rock Ninja". Reeza watched as Pandora was prepped for launch, her GEAR may have been lacking some of the cutting edge artillary that many Military GEARS were rocking, however, she was never discounted with her knack with her blades. She had a knack for getting close range to the gun wielding GEARS, rendering their salvo's useless. Of course Pandora had it's own long range defense, but Reeza preferred the XF-Blades concealed in the GEAR's fins.
Reeza slipped her leather jacket on as she met with her GEAR's deployment crew. They all knew Reeza was Ex-Militia, they were shocked to see a girl much younger then the rumored pilot of Pandora. The closest, a feline, smiled nervously as Reeza stepped to the loading platform. "Allright Reeza, since you were moved from rapid deploy we need to do a quick test of Pandora to make sure she's still good. I need you to do a quick cycle of all base weapons, scanners, and we are good to deploy."
Reeza acknowledged as she hopped into the "head" of Pandora. "Allright Reeza, check bay 2-13, we have loaded and confirmed ammo caches." The metal pod's that lined the fins of Pandora slid open, then closed. Confirming her payload. "Allright perfect, run a sensor, cloak and your screamer checks. Reeza flipped her camo to active, there was a soft shimmer of Pandora as it's active camo engaged.
"All sensors good! Testin' XF blades." Reeza grabbed the pseudo-hilt in Pandora's cabin. As the heavy steel panel's slid away, the razor sharp teeth of Pandora's blades appeared. "Firin' XF engine!" As the soft hum began to reverb, the teeth began to crackle, power surged through the fins. "XF Okie!" Reeza grinned as she slid the panels back into place. "Okie Pandora, you ready to go?" As Reeza took the control rods, Pandora began to shudder, the GEAR's jaw opened, unleashing a roar that shook the loading bay. "That's Reeza's girl! Let's do it!" As Pandora stomped out, she realized that using the roar in a small place like that would mean a few ringing ears and maybe another citation when she returned. "way to go stupid..." Reeza chided herself as she readied for the mission.
Pandora left the steel protection of the cruiser with a thud, Reeza paused to wait for her new comrade's to meet with Silver. She grinned in her usual trouble-making fasion as she opened comms to Blade. "Hey Blade! You always brin' a girl to the nicest places! Nice to be back wit' ya!"
