A little help might be good. As I just can't think of what to put in my post.

Souls of Steel: A Giant Mecha RP

Just let you know I'm all still here. Still stuck, but alive.

Think I'll have to see how Mai reacts. As all I can think of is have the attack drones turn on Atty. For attacking Caretaker in a manner they are able to recognise. Unless Caretaker starts doing stuff on its own, but I'm unsure how far that can be taken.

Hmmm, I'm unsure what to do for post.

Katya

Having the squad take up defensive positions pleased Katya. Hoping that Cruxi moving to intercept them would fall quickly. Hoping the Cruxi who Katya was still assuming they were distracted by the frontal assault had not organised a large force to deal with the infiltration team. However, it was something Katya refused to think about. Having enough on her mind, more so deal with whatever Cruxi coming to take them out.

As the Cruxi reached Caretaker and Atty, Katya was glad to see her drones react quickly. Glancing at drones status display seeing as it updated to show the drone had detected and was engaging a hostile target. Katya having not worked with attack drones before was feeling eager to test them so switched Caretakers rifle to Marker Mode, and the moment the drones had taken out the claw-wielding claws she marked the third, setting the drones to attack marked targets. Leaving the second to Atty. Trusting Serah was able to handle one Cruxi while the drone relentlessly attack the third. Taking it out quickly however not before the third Cruxi was able to take out a drone. Katya watching as the most forward drone was the focus of the Cruxi fire it going limp as the Cruxi weapons punched though the drones armour and internal systems were destroyed.

Once the attack was over Katya recalled the drones the three survivors quickly climbing up Caretakers legs as Katya moved the werk to recover the husk of the destroyed drone. Not wanting to leave it behind. Even if it was now just husk, she still felt some sort of attachment to it.

But before Katya could do pick up the wreckage she heard a voice that was hard to make out. The moment it repeated itself Katya had no doubt it was Elora projecting her voice somehow. It made Katya frown, it seemed for whatever reason Elora didn’t want to be recused. Well, that was too bad. Katya wasn’t about to leave this base without herShe’d had already failed Elora once she was not about to do it again.

Katya was about to ask Jake for a status report. When he contacted her. Providing the very report, she was about to ask for. Along with an image that the moment Katya saw it. It made her stomach turn.
“By my ancestors … what have they done to her?” She muttered a mix of shock, horror and anger. How dare the Cruxi defile Elora and Logic Gate. It was something Katya would not forgive and so help her she would make the Cruxi pay. But first Katya knew she had to at least make an attempt to rescue Elora, and if she would come or attack them, then there would be no choice. The Cruxi could not be allowed to deploy Logic gate and its pilot.

It was then Jack got Katya of by Seven who declared was switched objective priorities. Folded by Jack trying to stop Seven taking off down the corridor with no luck. A scowling forming on Katya's face she didn’t have to to be dealing with Seven. If they survived, Seven/Mai were so going on report for insubordination or something. This running off and doing her thing was not acceptable. Given even if it was unlikely that Elora could be rescued they still needed to try.
“Squad we double time it to Elora’s location. Seven must not be allowed to engage Elora until we’ve attempted rescue. If Elora does not cooperate or attacks us, only then she will be considered an enemy combatant and eliminated. Understood?” Katya spoke turning Caretaker around and taking off in Logic Gate direction pushing the work to move as quickly as it servos would allow.
“SEVEN! If you engage Logic Gate without my permission. You will be in violation of my orders and punished accordingly. Do not engage Logic Gate! Without my permission or without backup.” Katya spoke into the comms hoping Seven would listen. She didn’t want to have to punish Seven for being disobedient. But her behaviour was putting herself and the rest and in turn the rest of the squad at risk.

Chasing after Seven to Logic Gate, Katya hope Seven would listen and the Elora would listen to her. The idea of having to take Elora out. Made Katya her heart ache, she didn’t want to kill someone she saw a little sister, part of her question if she could even do it. As she Katya headed toward Logic Gate Katya readied her combat drones for redeployment. Katya knowing if Elora had sided with Cruxi they needed to be ready to bring as much firepower to bear on her as soon as possible. That if Katya could not bring herself to attack Elora her drones would do so without question.

I'm thinking I'll need @DarkRecon post before more so so jake can relay what his scout drones found. (may they RIP) Otherwise, I'm not sure I could put something together I'd be content with posting.

Souls of Steel: A Giant Mecha RP

There one post. I know it later then I said. But rewriting it took longer than I thought and for that I do apologise.

Katya

Leading a squad on infiltration was something Katya had never done before. Nore had she been given training for it, and that made her nervous; she was aware once inside the Cruxi station there was no backup. That a single mistake, heck even a wrong turn. Could lead those under her commander to a very timely death or worse capture, the latter scaring Katya just a little.

It was that small amount of fear that gave Katya focus as she commanded the team take out the CWM sentries quickly as possible. If anything Katya wanted to be in and out of the base in the shortest amount of time possible. So she directed those under her command to show now mercy. To take out any Cruxi that engaged them by the quickest means possible. Before they could call in backup or surround them.

Entering the hanger, Katya was quick to order the distraction of the unmanned Cruxi mechs. She figured a base like this would have sensors so would have detected her team by now. Failing that surely one of the Cruxi workers or soldier running around bellow them would surely one of them would raise the alarm before too long. So in her mind, it was better to take out the mechs while manned. Better now then leaving them for the Cruxi to man the mechs use against them.

Once they mechs were dealt with Katya ordered the team forward. Katya personally not care how many Cruxi she stepped on. Although didn’t go out of her way to crush the panic Cruxi under Caretakers feet. Moving though hanger into corridors. Katya lead her team down into the depths of the base. Taking out the odd Cruxi mech which surprised Katya thinking even if the base was under attack they divert at least some troops to deal with the intruders. Katay still holding onto the thought that Cruxi knew that they had intruders.

As they reach laboratory area Katya order the squad to halt. Muttering a few curse words under her breath. As she looked down one of the corridors that was too small for a werk to fit. Scanning it, she saw the metal was weak enough for a werk to force its way down one of these small corridors. Aware if the Cruxi where keeping Elora alive then this was the place it would be it more then lucky would be here. Katya feeling frustrated she started to try and think of another option as having her team split up and force themselves down small corridors sounded like a bad idea. If the Cruxi caught them whoever was in the corridor was have nowhere to go.

But before Katya could think of anything Mia, no Seven asked if she could her leave werk to proceed on foot.
“Denied. You are to remain in your werk.” Katya ordered, her tone sounding annoyed. She didn’t need to be dealing with Seven or Mia doing some unnecessary heroics. It only would only distract her from the task at hand. Still, in this once instance, it served to help Katya think of an idea. If the werks could not fit then, they could use the drones or more, in particular, Jakes recon drones. Katya thinking from the name such a drone should be quick with good range. Unlike hers. Even if she could extend the range, her drones were not built to be quick, and by the sound of it, Cruxi were starting to close on the team's location. Meaning her drones might be needed to assist the team if those Cruxi caught up with them.
“Jake deploy recon drones. Send them down the corridors. We can use them to check each area quickly. At the moment we are prioritising the recovery of Elora. Everyone all other captives are to be considered secondary. You to need to be quick. Understood.” Katya instructed, thinking for a moment.
“Seven, Serah. The metal that makes the corridors is weak. Your werks should be able to force themselves down it. If you think can do so without badly damaging you werks to badly or somehow make the fit. You're free to aid Jake otherwise. You’ll assist me in setting up a defensive line, if the Cruxi reach us before Jake can find Elora, then we’ll need to buy him time.” Katya instructed, finishing off with deploying her attack drones. Commanding them, to take defensive positions. Katya doing the same turned Caretaker to face the direction the noises were coming from. Aiming Caretakers rifle in the same direction, ready to engage any Cruxi that came.
