Hmm I thought the leader ejected. Oh well damn now that makes sense now, so it was the heavy mech that self destructed not the leader. Though David trying to give out an order like that is very much in character. Also David considers Ryan unexperienced, and untested in real combat, so until he can prove himself then David will be trying to give out some orders like that one. It is your job to shut David up and put him in his place, but he will most definitely not like that. It seems like Ryan and David will be butting heads in the future, sound exciting.

Should be fun. I thought I'd be clashing with Nemesis, but David is good as well.

And yeah, one heavy's down, the other's about to (I hope), the enemy light mechs are distracted, their leader's about to be taken out. All very fun. I'm just hoping that the remaining medium mechs surrender once everyone else is dead, and that reinforcements don't arrive too quickly.

Oh don't worry, you'll be clashing with Nemesis, just not on the battle field itself. She knows better than to do that in a time-is-of-the-essence situation. Whatever time and energy would be spent on arguing on getting her 'better' plan executed, makes the original plan without that argument overall more efficient.

Also, this is literally her first time on a battle field. She's not deluded so much as to be unaware that she hasn't a damn clue what is going on. So thusly, she will bow to his judgement and study it, akin to her mech's 'recording and evaluating' the teams tactics.

But don't worry, once the situation moves more into her overall field there will be much more fun to be had. She just 'tries' to be co-operative since its in the absence of other factors the best thing.

Kay. Looking forwards to that. ^^

What're the odds this'll end in a climactic chess game?

Relm Zephyrous · 03-11-2010, 10:19 PM

Depends on what you mean. A normal chess game over a comp, not sure, as I don't know about Ryan, but Nemesis isn't a quick thinker. Well, she isn't good at quick thinking so it might take a while. A massive armada shaped and named after literal chess pieces clashing under our direction...

Now thats something we've gotta look into. What color do you think each of us'll be?

Geminex · 03-11-2010, 10:24 PM

I'll go white, Nemesis can go black.
We can simulate the battle on some huge computer in-base, gang up on anyone who tries to stop us from wasting resources.
We can send our posts to RMB, he can evaluate what our troops do to each other.

...

Potentially, of course. Perhaps they'll solve this verbally.
...
Then again, maybe not.

Relm Zephyrous · 03-11-2010, 10:31 PM

Could be what they're doing when they're called for the next mission. Both sitting in a simulation acting out a little chess war. Somebody else ((Preferably someone with little patience and who would have a real good WTF reaction)) could be sent to go tell them its time. They don't 'have' to have a problem with each other for this, it could just be recreational.

And while we're at it, lets further the uniqueness, Nemesis would be Space colored, which might make you... Supernova tint?

((Unless you had a genuine plan for creating a whole mini-game out of it))

Geminex · 03-11-2010, 10:36 PM

Oh, ok. I was sorta thinking of a PvP battle between our characters, but what you're suggesting is cool as well.

Probably better than PvP, actually, since it'll take less time.

As for my color, I was thinking of more of a lightish grey. Black is good for you, cause you're the secretive one, but Ryan's not noble enough that white would be fitting. Grey is sensible.

Though "Space-black vs Rather-boring-grey" doesn't make for that great a mental image...

Sorry if my post is a little wrong. For some reason, I still can't tell which enemy mech struck me with the hammer. It's the one that's self-destructing, isn't it? Was it still near me when the pilot ejected? Need more intel.

Geminex · 03-11-2010, 10:45 PM

I was under the impression that 556 had been eliminated, and 555 was now attacking you.

Yeah, you were in combat with Walther 555 the whole time. What I imagine is that he swung at Ali's mech with the hammer, Len fired at 555, Ali retreated, fired a point-blank salvo, then reengaged.
