Well. Serah's proposal got basically ignored. That was a bit of a blow to her confidence. Well, still, they would keep trying right? Everyone had gone back to the discussion on the Mock Battle, and more importantly, splitting up in teams. [color=00aeef]"I dunno too much about tactics, honestly..."[/color] she commented from the back, in response to Roger. They had a fairly solid plan to have front, mid and back liners but Serah didn't have any idea what she belonged to. Atty had SOME range, so it could pass as a mid somewhat. But then maybe she should be front, and distract enemies? Ah, hell. The entire thing was confusing for Serah. Zim had also asked her about how her framewerk fought, and she'd love to reply with the energy sword, but time seemed to be up. Over the speakers a familiar voice informed all pilots of the mock battle being about to start, so Serah had no time to lose.

[color=00aeef]"All right everyone, Let's do our best!"[/color] she cheerfully cried, fist pumping the air. The girl dashed off in the direction of the hangar, and was basically a blur whilst doing so. All that energy had turned her into a professional sprinter, somehow. [color=00aeef]"'Xcuse me!"[/color] Serah blurted out as she whirled past base personnel, though minding to still be respectful and apologizing profusely when messing up. Eventually, somehow slower than most, the petite lass reached the hangar. The thing was [i]huge![/i] She hadn't been in there yet, and what a surprising sight it was. [color=00aeef]"Right, so it was this way I guess?"[/color] Serah mumbled to herself, trying to figure out where her changing room was. After a little stumbling, she found it and hummed contently. They snuck in, fumbling around with her usual clothes for a little. After neatly hanging it up, because at least the girl isn't a slouch, they managed to put on the plugsuit with only minor issue. It obviously hadn't been the first time the girl needed to wear one, and to her it was extremely comfortable. She didn't even seem to be ashamed her more well-endowed parts were so accentuated.

Exiting the changing rooms, Serah searched around the area again. This time, entering the main hangar area. Everyone's framewerks had their own section, and it didn't take very long for the girl to find her own. [color=00aeef]"Atty!"[/color] she excitedly yelled, nearly running over to give the damn robot a hug. She got really attached to it in a relatively short amount of time. Nobody seemed to be around, which probably meant they finished any last-minute modifications before the girl arrived. That girl also ran up and entered her machine by climbing into it, not even bothering to use the stairs provided for her. She never used those anyway. After entering the command center through Atty's chest, she sat inside the chair surrounded by a good few screens. The entire room was compact due to Atty being a relatively small framewerk compared to most, and coloured in a sort of pink you wouldn't expect when looking at the outset.

Serah adjusted the ribbon in her hair slightly, then leaned back and started booting up the necessary systems. First, the comm arrays. A green, tangibly holographic keyboard was provided to enter the required passwords and soon other screens also lit up which showed AA-XOTRY's current status, energy levels and consumption alongside the other necessities. Slowly but surely she checked out everything, and her framewerk looked ready to go. [color=00aeef]"Alriiiight, flawless!"[/color] she congratulated herself, putting on a dumb grin. She then remembered something Roger said about teams, and wondered if she should pair up with someone. And then Serah remembered Katya didn't have any offense, with how Caretaker worked. [color=00aeef]"Maybe I could ask her?"[/color] she mumbled, typing in a few things on the keyboard. Atty's display lit up to request a comm link with XVT/03. Even if Katya wouldn't accept, Serah still sent an encrypted message her way. [color=00aeef]"Heeey! Katya! I'll keep an eye out for you, so don't mark me on the field. I'll try to shield you if anyone tries to harm you."[/color] was that message. Serah also figured Zim was somewhat alike, and she wouldn't like to fight him because he was pretty nice to her. So she'll try to avoid them. Also Ariin was probably a bad idea, because she remembered something about his weapons taking off Frames' limbs. She'd rather not have Atty be put through that...

Not too long after and Serah heard someone on the global channel, as she likes to call it, announce their ready-ness. They didn't recognize the voice, but she figured it was probably the crying girl from earlier due to her being the only one she hadn't actually heard talk. Serah quickly switched over as well. [color=00aeef]"Standing by for deployment."[/color] she announced rather officially, but was grinning behind her command center. She couldn't wait to show what Atty could do.
