Sarahs machine purred away as if nothing was wrong. However it was quite the strange feeling to be piloting a mech virtually blind. Asking quite disturbingly calmly what Mr.B could bring back online. I can get one of the left hemispheres cameras up, forty percent functional, [i]right hemisphere main cameras are completely down. I can use the infrared camera as a replacement.[/i] She gave a soft giggle as she heard that. It was more than a boost to her. [b]“Good boy”[/b], she said softly as she felt the heavy hand of Yassir on her shoulder, [b]“Thanks Marlene....I...um”[/b], she didn’t really have something facetious to say this time. She had seen on her radar that she had made her way over. In the near minute it took her to get some basic visuals back she was a sitting duck. [b]“I’ve got some basic visuals, and I haven’t got a hole in me this time”[/b], she said letting out a loud chuckle. [b]“I think it would be wise for me to take a back seat for the rest of the mission. I’m not that crazy”[/b], she turned to face the old Handou. [b]“How do I look? Pretty right?”[/b], The machines face looked like an elephant had stood on it. The sole functioning main camera swung a little with each movement. [b]“Cecilia, what is the status on the enemy?”[/b], she asked for clarification before hearing that they only had one more to take down. It was a bit of a relief on seeing that last red blip vanish from her radar. 

She sighed softly and stroked the console before her. On hearing Ms. Langs com she smiled, [b]“Yes mam!, I love surprises!”[/b], Mr. B jumped from side to side like an excited four year old as she moved to regroup. She did however notice that one blue dot didn’t move with the rest of them. She sighed again and shook her head softly. Hoping that Kat was okay, after all not everyone was able to simply break their conscious into pieces and tape it back together with a load of glue and string and move on like nothing had happened. She would be sure to have a word with her, maybe she might be able to convince her that what happened was a good thing. Then again not everyone has such a severe case of thanatosis as she did, a death wish. There was however always a way to get a soldiers death drive back. The OSU always knew how to shunt that into its soldiers. Her excited dancing ceased as a loud fizzle then snap occurred on her frames face. [b]“Shit....”[/b], sparks began flying out of it as the last shred of connectivity of visuals popped. 

She was sitting there in the dim glow of her illuminated keyboard. How she made it back was something she was definitely not proud of.... When they did however, she burst forth from the cockpit and immediately bolted her way back to the Samiginas war room. They had a new job! It had to be the surprise. Maybe they’d gotten back on good terms with Cradle? Who knew? She ran through the door to see Richard on the lower level. Continuing to run she grabbed the rail of the upper level and flipped over. Her eyes as usual gave that eerie artificial glow they always did, but were much brighter than they usual were. She was so excited; Richards Panthers must be back on track. They had to be....They’d lost so much...Any news is good news. [b]"TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME!"[/b]
