[color=Tomato] "I'm fine personally, but I think my main cannon is pretty much dead. Some sort of power conduit has been hit so the actuators and heating elements are operating at a fraction of normal capacity. On top of that, my fire control system keeps randomly cutting in and out and I can't fire the gun when the fire control system is offline. If there is a silver lining on this it's that my accelerator coils are mostly functional. I can't take the Anzu right now. He definitely is going to be waiting for us to come around that corner to blast us, and that rifle can definitely take either of us out in a shot...Romeo I think Mai's trying to get a shot off at my weakened armor. I need to get to cover!" I'm heading to Zone B to try and keep Mai from having a clean shot."[/color]

His synchronization rates had increased as he engages in acts of protection, but dip back down when forced into direct conflicts, a holdover from the desires to protect his people from the true enemy they were training for, for protecting the memory of his brother, the one he couldn't save.

One full burst of automatic fire and then back to primary combat. In the forest of stones, his reach melee will be of great use and there had to be more to her than just a single gun. 

The thoughts about his gun had given him an odd idea froma n old image from an arms factory now long out of business, but it was still an idea he put to the side of his mind to work on as he took himself to the same path as Archer took, making a higher arc at a slower pace to get a better visual of the terrain below as well as once again provide false data for anyone else who chose to watch his approach.

For the moment he was willing to bid vigilant patience One arm shielded and the other arm leveling machine gun for the next threat. Sadly that was most likely going to be Diver, a conflict he hoped to avoid and let another take her out so he would be spared any damage to their friendship.
