tldr; Zim fully joins the "It's alive!" crowd on slightly more than consequential evidence.

Also, I need to stop looking at custom gundam build pictures. I keep getting ideas for further modifications/upgrades/totally different werk ideas. I am currently developing an idea for a way to change Black Star's armor wings into something more...

An unholly combination of these ideas

OK I figured it out...

Major stretch, but here goes...
So the armor wings currently are a pretty much two solid pieces. I want to segment them further, attach them to a wing base on the back, rather than on the shoulders as they are currently mounted. Then, each of those segments can detach to fly around in short distance/sub short distance (greater than melee, shorter than short so still the same square, but flavor-wise lets me send them away). Those segments are armor but designed for piercing too, so they can act as a piercing missile, basically. They can also act as interceptors to block incoming projectiles. Also! While attached to the wing bases they act as additional thrusters. So when they are active and floating around, Black Star loses Medium Armor Class, going to light armor, loses added speed benefits. Deploy and Return take a turn/action each. Increase Movement speed while not deployed by 2?

I like my modular toys...

Someone made Black Star!

@Mr Rage

Actually Mr Rage, that just reminds me. I thought about another story arc where it's discovered that Neo Angel and Black Star had similar design origins. However, because of how unique and difficult the T-System was, Black Star was pushed to another company or designer to go in a different direction which in this case, the current Black Star.

It was just a brief story idea if Maria started getting curious about the origins of the old mech, Setsuka and the now Neo Angel.

And I have to go back and check that long lish of exp/sync updates -__-'

After launching his attack, Robin smiled as the monster reacted to his electrical based attack. But then he saw the monster retreat before releasing one of it's victims from his demonic sack.

And Robin knew that the victim was infected.

It didn't help either that he heard gunfire coming from ahead...and the paniked response didn't help. Because as a tatician who learned about platform city and it's many cultures, he also knew about codes of conduct. How some take extremes. Though to be fair, he had encountered such individuals in his own world before. Guile himself taught him a bit about hows soldiers were in his world in some cases as well during his very first appearance here.

But those "extremes"...Robin had hoped to not cross such lines...even now. But sadly, it already maybe too late.

James then gave him some orders to do whatever it takes to save this victim in general as he immedately rushed off after the monster. Robin had wanted to stop him but it seemed James was well-aware of what would happen if he got too close to that gunfire.

Now, though, this person needed help.

Taking out his heal staff, Robin got to work on this individual on the ground and focused it's healing energies on the victim. But in all honestly, all he could do perhaps was slow down the progress of the virus. Perhaps long enough for medics, healers or "first responders" to come down here and hopefully with the vaccine.

But again, that gunfire from before...the odds were against this fellow making it...which means...could he do it? Could he cross that line? Could he take this life if it mean't preventing the spread of this virus? He gave his life once to end Grima's existance but could he take one innocent life to save many?

I'm still here all. Just waiting for an update post wise. Just sorry I don't chat here often.

I'm also deciding to...well...I've been thinking about alot of plot devices for now Maria. one of which is facing her past decision while with the Helldivers in some shape or form.

I did metion through Maria when she spoke to Elora through her minds eye that she did "dirty work" when with the Helldivers sometimes. One plot was that at some point in the past, security breaches allowed "doomsayers" to highjack frameworks and simply cause tons of collateral damage to dealing with "CULLING" frameworks.

Just saying that now that her mind is stable, those decisions may start to affect her.

Hell, she may even joke to Ariin about perhaps sharing a prison cell with him someday because of her past actions so...yeah weird as it sounds, chance relationship there. Even more so she she and Jake helped him recover from the Paladin/Ariin mind switch.

Project Crossover [SMASH ARENA - Only PXO members allowed]

Ok. I guess I go after "Slayer". Just trying to keep track of turn order here.

And jesus. I'm not even sure if Robin himself would expect Guile's "Army Men" to shoot civilians or even illegal gamblers on sight. Talk about containment -___-'.

Best Robin can do is slow down the infection running through the individual with his heal staff and hope a proper medic shows with the vaccine but as I just said, "slow it down"...not cure it. Hell, not sure if the heal staff would have ANY effect on the virus.

Souls of Steel: A Giant Mecha RP

Sorry for the double-post but I finally got around to updating the now "Maria Angel Twilight" profile. Ariamis. Please go check it out in case I have to change anything.

I forgot how tall I made her though. Was it 5'6" or 5'9"?

Souls of Steel: A Giant Mecha RP

Ugh...first Setsuka gets taken away then destoryed in a trial by fire near the beginning of this RP...now Neo Angel gets torn up perhaps beyond repair...

At this rate, Maria's going to go through frameworks like toilet paper -_-'

Souls of Steel: A Giant Mecha RP

Jake had just managed to bring up the recording of the sync rates on his tablet when he heard someone. He looked up and even though it was a low mutter, Jake's percectiveness picked up on who it was. Pausing it, he then spoke up.

"...hey Serah your awake. Glad to see you didn't get baked", Jake said attempting a rhyme.

He then look at Jason then said, "Sorry Jason. Didn't mean to be a fool. Cutting you off wasn't cool."

Jake then went back to his tablet to see where the sync rates started changing for his team.

Souls of Steel: A Giant Mecha RP

OK, heads up on the collab. I am going to put it to rest for additions 24ish hours from now. I'll obviously keep it up for the editing process and for any other back and forths that might need to happen. So if you want your character to get in on this hot posting action, you should probably get in on it now.

As so far as Zim's current activity, he can be skipped if need be, otherwise, I will have a post for Zim up within 24 hours.

@Mr Rage

Just a heads up on that, I read some of it. I did metion much earlier through the RP that the Telekenetic system in the Neo Angel was classified so I'm wondering which character metioned it in that collab? I couldn't tell who but I imagined certain individuals may know about it regardless.

Souls of Steel: A Giant Mecha RP

Yeah. I don't mind the pacing here. Hell, I don't even check the OOC's much. Though in this case, I really should more often in case I made a mistake with posting.

Speaking of which...I also have to find time to edit the "now" Maria profile. History included since Mai did go through some serious changes with that last battle.

EDIT: Also...what are the sync boosts/EXP results and such from that last battle? Was it ever posted?

Souls of Steel: A Giant Mecha RP

Jake waited patiently in the waiting area. He had a tablet in his hands in which he was reviewing something of sorts. Really, he needed to keep his mind occupied considering that everything, to him, had not gone according to plan. Sure, they blew up a Cruxi controlled station and most likely got combat data on two new units they used on them.

But, as usual, at what cost? Pilots? Machines?

Devors was on one of his drunken rants but this time, it seemed to Jake that he was really hurting deep down. No doubt that he'd seen so much...that was probably the reason for his drinking habits. Not the best solution to cope but again, considering how brutal the war against the Cruxi got and most likely the critical state of Elise, you just find any way to get through the pain.

Both physical and mental.

When the doctors said that Jason could go in and see Serah, Jake tried to follow. Thankfully, the nurse didn't say anything to Jake. She simply nodded and let him follow Jake in.

Not too far from Serah was Mai. No...Maria now. She was one bed next to Serah as a matter of fact so he wasn't too far from Jason. While Jake was glad that she looked ok, it still hurt him to see her like this.

For that matter, how many coma's or even servere injuries did she suffer daily to always wind up in here? What exactly did she go through in her lifetime? Jake did have some rough moments, even more so involving his family, but this...

Sitting down on a chair next to Maria's bed, Jake brought out his tablet again. He got to work on bringing up a "recording" of the sync rates of his infiltration team during the mission. When Jake held down that corridor and the trap was sprung, he didn't really hear anything good.

But it was that horrible yell he heard briefly before his comm link with his team broke and then he heard nothing.

From what he heard Maria said though, the Cruxi did do something to Elora. More than likely, the Cruxi used Elora against his team. But then she broke loose from her captors control and...did something to Mai to turn her into...her mom?

As part of the Recon division, Jake had made his fair share of weird reports and even heard about stuff like this but to actually see and hear it?

At any rate, he needed to see what happened in terms of sync rates during that battle if was even available at all. Even if it was, he had a suspicion that it'd be "classified" and blocked from his viewing but he'd break some rules if he had to. Like he thought before, he was getting tired of all the secrets...
