Souls of Steel: A Giant Mecha RP

Zim tripped and fell flat on his face. 'Great, just what I need,' Zim thought. He struggled to get to his feet for some reason. He had worked this thing enough that he knew how to do it, yet it was like the machine it'self was working against him, like it was trying to prevent Zim and Black Star from reaching the pillars where he would be most useful. About the time that he finally got the machine back to its feet was when the message came that it was a trap. Unsure of what to do Zim thanked Black Star. He truly doubted that the machine knew what was out there ahead of him, but he thanked it for preventing him from being in that mess anyways as the first round of mortar fire went off.

The private channel flickered through, it was Roger. 'The Lake?' Zim thought in response to the question, 'Never too late to learn.' He gestured to Roger his consent. He sent a text message to Elora as he started heading that way. The message read:

"Radio hurt us. Radio help us. Relay true message via text to all troops. Relay false message to troops via radio. Keep everyone in a Panic."

He sent a similar message to Roger:
"Lets find out if we can swim, ignore radio chatter."

Zim then dispatched over the radio in as panicy of a voice as he could muster despite his usually cool, calm, and serious demeanor. "Oh God, we are so screwed! Everybody, regroup in Zone A!"

Zim of course had no idea of the text messages sent direct recipient were also able to be monitored, but if not then it was their best bet to buy some time and get the troops moving.

With his gamble played Zero focused his best efforts on piloting the machine towards the Lake. The cut out anything that wasn't important. He event turned off the thermal blade of his Scythe until he was closer to the enemy. He kept his eyes on the radar, and the incoming messages, but paid little attention to anything else inside his chassis. He needed to trust his compatriots, and he needed to trust Black Star. Together, he hoped, they might be able to ambush the those in the Lake while they were in transit, thinking they were going to catch the battle rattled cadets.

If anything, this highlight of the groups folly only hardened Zim's resolve.

Alice, henceforth referred to as Dark Green, is good to go! Or should I say grow! Move her on over to the character section and jump in on the ic tab.

Anyways, you can either have her join up later, as they are discussing, or you can play along like you were always there.

and edited out the double copy-paste.

Because you are a perv ;)

I posted. Drumming on my own, but together with everyone else, as long as they go the same way as Harold and I.

Zim pushed his Mech forward with his Armor plates down. They would remain down until he needed them out of the way for combat purposes. Never know when their might be a sniper around... "Thanks for the Map, Elora," Zim said and he considered what Harold said. "I am with you there, Harold. The pillars will allow the cover needed for Serah and I to get close. Our heavy mechs that might have a hard time moving in there should stay towards the outside of the pillars, Elora, we'll need your eyes in the sky to make sure we can see them coming if they decide to flank us in there. They've got the numbers to do it."

Of Course Zim had to wonder what kind of soldier referred to the West as 'left' on the map...

He didn't wait for a confirmation, being in the open would only leave his melee style Mech for dead. The water would make movements even more difficult... but he had to think for a moment, was Blackstar water proof? He assumed it was, all the same, it would be a shame to find out the hardway. They would move together in that direction, or they would all choose to go their different way.

Zim had the experience to move the mech in the direction he wanted at a hustle just fine, so long as the machine decided to cooperate with his intentions... Hopefully it would do just that. He focused on his movements until he reached the Forest of Pillars. There he would start scouting out a place to lay his ambush. Though, he had to assume that they had the same kind of mapping ability. Sitting still would not be a very good choice.

Post is up, I changed Dark Blue out for an NPC I am running, Green. I was going to have you find her later, but now will work!

"No clue where engineering is, or sick bay, or any of it is," Green said in response to everybody's questions of where something was. "All I know right now, is that I've got a blank consul except for one flashing red light and while I don't know what it means, I came here for this button... I think."

Green Gestured for everybody else to draw nearer so they could look at it, "I suspect none of you know what it means either, seeing as none of us seem to remember anything... If there are no objections, I am going to press it."

The button that was flashing red were three vertical lines spaced evenly apart, the center line was longer than the outer lines and over the top of these three lines was an X. Did it mean no circulation or air flow, did it mean life support had been purposefully disabled? Did it mean that transporter beams were off line? Why would that make a difference right now?

"Unless we want to wait to press it until we are closer to running out of air, incase this is a self-destruct button or something..."

It was left for a vote.

Amnesia in Space

Okey-dokey then...

@SleepingSilence, @Korkoa If you want to run multiple characters, you are welcome to do so... I will edit the first post to omit dark blue and mr. orange... And then I will get us started with the next post.

Hopefully, they will find time to make it back to us, or we draw in some fresh blood. Sorry this is taking so long to take off!

Amnesia in Space

Yep, still here, I was hoping that I might get a post or two more.

@Simple Unicycle@Rune_Alchemist, you going to make a post soon, or shall we start without you?

"Yes," Zim replied to Katya before the announcement, "They used to call me that back on Fortress, my home planet. Fleck was the only one to call me that afterwards..." Zim grew silent after mentioning Fleck, which was fine, Katya's attention was drawn elsewhere. When the announcement came, Zim stepped back into reality from the realm of nostalgia.

Once to the changing room Zim quickly got into his plug suit. He didn't have to fight with it nearly as much as his companions did, being considerably shorter in stature the suit didn't need to stretch as far to accommodate him. But while he was disrobed anybody who took the time to look around, or just happened to glance his way would immediately notice how pronounced his skeletal structure was, despite how developed his muscles where. They would also notice the myriad of scars that littered his body, including but not limited to the scar from his impalement.

After getting the suit on Zim quickly made his way out to Blackstar. His machine was smaller than the rest, just like he was. The tactical idea here was that it would be smaller, therefore harder to hit, the lighter weight would allow the machine to be more nimble, despite the heavier wing shields that it used to implement a higher defensive front when needed. The machine itself was not overwhelmingly powerful like some of the others machines, built for balance and versatility, Blackstar depended on his weapon to truly deal the damage.

Zim pushed from his mind all that he could as he started up the start up and authentication process. He slowed his breathing to calm his mind, which slowed his heart rate which calmed his body. He was attempting to alter his state of mind to accept the controls of the machine. He was rated highly with his experiences on the terraformer team, but thus far his sync rates had been abysmally low. As the machine continued its self diagnostics, Zim looked up at the HUD to see that his sync was still only 36%... everything would drag a little slow for him. He would need to do his best to anticipate his opponents actions.

"Blackstar is online. All Systems green. Ready for departure," He announced.
