"What do you mean, professor?" Ritsu asked the old man, and he returned to leaning on his clasped arms while looking at the screen.

"You do not know how the Cruxi operate. They are capable of horrible things. For example, what if Yarimoto Kenshi, the boy who talked a bit with the Elora girl, suddenly decided to use the high-frequency blade on the other Framewerks during a battle with the Cruxi?" He asked while looking at the visual feed of Phantom Zero launching into zone A along with the others. "That blade can pierce matter at the sub-atomic level. Only barriers of the highest energy-output can protect you from it. And he isn't the only one; every one of these pilots can be turned against them, and it was the downfall of Y2C. I must do what I can to achieve results, Lieutenant."



"Activate Data Drones," Elora commanded, and out of Diver's back-slots launched discs that soon de-compressed themselves and took the form of helicopter-sized half-orb machines as Diver skid through the open fields. This is it then, the start of the fight. First I'll need to set up for my allies before I start directly supporting them. The Data Drones kept even pace with her despite her great speed, buzzing around like a cloud of hornets.
"Initialize terrain scan protocol," Elora next said to them, and three of the drones shot up high into the stratosphere. They spread out and floated over the arena like satellites, giving Elora extensive and detailed data about all the locations of the arena and everyone's movement. Elora transmitted this information to Koehler, Ryan and Alexei, and a 3-dimensional map appeared to the corners of the four's visual feed with easy-to-read markers for the environments and the locations of all the Framewerks. They now had complete map awareness, and thus a considerable tactical advantage over the other Framewerks.
"I now have the map configured. It should appear in your visual feeds now, Koehler, Ryan, and...umm...Alexei..." she softly said the last name. However, Alexei's response was pure static, and Elora started to feel scared. "Umm, hey, are you okay, Alexei?" She then saw what was happening to the Daemon: It was covered in electricity, and running at a normal-class speed, thundering through the fields in absurdly swift fashion while shooting out sparks into the air.



"Sir, the Daemon's power output is spiking!" One of the scientists at lower deck shouted. "The Frame's systems can't contain the voltage!"
One of the other scientistas added to it: "Sir, the pilot's Synchronization Rate is rising to 120%...160%...200%! The Frame has absorbed the pilot!"

"You decided to play with powers you can't handle, huh? You bastard!" Lorenzo took the device and pressed Alexei Stukov's red button, but it was too late: The Framewerk started shaking violently while covered in rabid electricity, and then exploded, sending out a shockwave that was felt by everyone on the field.

"Whoa!" Lieutenant Ritsu took leverage from the back of Lorenzo's chair as the shockwave hit the base. After a moment of recovering, she took the microphone, and spke to the command channel. "Attention Cadets, the operation has been canc-" A smack could be heard on the command channel.

"-The operation continues on, despite Cadet Stukov's accident. Let it be a warning to aynone who tries to surpass their Framewerk's limits. Carry on with the battle."



Elora's lips quivered while she watched the Daemon's once mighty presence fade away like a candle midwinter, and she doubled over on her seat. Alexei's death affected her, despite having only known him for less than an hour. She really did like him, though she didn't want to admit it to Koehler, but now she could never tell what she really felt for him. Diver kneeled down and picked up one of the Daemon's pieces, and Elora started crying. This was the world she lived in; it was a world of war, and a world of death.

@Penultimate_Pi
Is this going to end up like Horror under the Sea?"
@ClocktowerEchos
No, it's accepted. Your Synchro Rate is 72%. Add it as a new bullet point to the sheet and you can then post it to the character tab. I'll let you know when a slot opens up and you can also start posting IC. If you want to, you can catch up on the IC and even the OOC posts while you're waiting.
@ClocktowerEchos
The field projector's defensive quality needs to be brought down to only deflecting kinetic weaponry, and even then it won't deflect barrier-busting weaponry such as Daemon's rifle does, or other such examples.
@ClocktowerEchos
You can start writing it now, and when accepted you can jump in the very moment someone's out. Also, as a word of advice so there's less time spent on reworking the sheets, I'll make a note that the pilot's age has to be 14-16 and that Earth has been uninhabitable for a long time and thus impossible as a background.
@ClocktowerEchos
Well, on paper this RP's full, but depending on if one person doesn't return to this RP soon I may kick him out and then there's an open slot.
While the pilots were preparing for the coming battle, Ritsu and Lorenzo were watching them from the upper deck of the command room using surveillance systems, with numerous scientists manning stations on the lower deck. Lorenzo was sitting at the table, leaning on his clasped arms and looking at the numerous screens with his reflective glasses. Ritsu was standing next to him, and held her arms with a worried look on her face.

"So far the project has entered its next phase splendidly," Lorenzo suddenly spoke, as if he wasn't talking to anyone in the room. "And there are plenty of promising subjects in this batch. Though there are also rotten examples, like the Number. Remind me why she is part of my project, Lieutenant."

Ritsu responded with tact. "Her inclusion in the XJ9 Project was requested by the head of the Exodus division, Joshua Graham. It was approved by the Lord Commander himself."

Lorenzo slammed his fist on the table. "BAH! Cain is a fool for thinking that Y2C and their abominations can be salvaged in any way! Their methods were flawed in their very foundation! They named the subjects after numbers, for goodness sake! It is no wonder it ended in a disaster like that! Emotionless dolls have no place piloting anything, let alone my works of genius."

"Professor, I would like to remind that Mai Twilight's mother was the first pilot to achieve a hundred-percent Synchronization Rate. Most pilots only reach into the 80-85 percent range at the very most. The Lord Commander believes she also has that potential despite her upbringing."

"Well, if her current rate is of any indication, he's hoping for a miracle. They thought they were smart when designing her weaponry purely around her Synchro rate, but now she can't even use them at full power! She didn't even speak to the other pilots! Without a proper social build, she will never develop the necessary skills required for combating the Cruxi. An utter failure, that unlucky number seven."

"That remains to be seen, professor." Ritsu said in a stern tone to the scientist. She looked at the screen, and saw Alexei Stukov appear in the hangars with his plugsuit on. He promptly entered his Framewerk. "After all, that is one of the purposes of this exercise, to test their Synchro Rates and tactical capability."

Lorenzo jumped from his seat. "Aah! Where is that noise coming from!"

"Professor, It seems the pilot of the Roxy, Harold Koehler, is broadcasting dated music. He seems to be quite eager based on the little dancing number he's throwing."

"Not for long if I'm gonna have a say in it...lousy whipper-snappers," the wrinkly man muttered to himself and activated the loudspeaker system. His voice could be heard booming through it:

"Harold Koehler, communications were permitted, not sound pollution! Cut it out, and stop with the motions! Now then, we will shortly begin the mock battle."

Lt. Ritsu's voice came next. "As a reminder, I will explain the objective again, which is to defeat as many opponents as possible before you are defeated yourself. The operation is completed when only one Framewerk remains standing, or when the Executive Officer deems it completed."

The hangar doors were then opened, revealing the landscape of zone A, which was the Open Fields, a vast stretch of empty land. You could see a tower soaring to the sky in the distance, which the map file designated as zone G, or the Tower of Power. The sky was filled with gray clouds, making for a dour scene to look at.

"Cadets, commence Operation: Mock Battle!" As soon as the words left the Lieutenant's mouth, the air filled with the grinding of metal and the roaring of thrusters as every Framewerk launched out of the hangar and into the fields in a thunderous fashion. The battle that would soon unfold on an astounding scale, with titans climbing over the broken remains of their comrades and vying for being the one to remain.

"Are you sure this is necessary, professor?" Ritsu returned back to discussing privately with Lorenzo. "This Battle Royale, I mean?"

"It is," Lorenzo said with a stern face. "You'll see. To defeat the Cruxi, they need to prepare to kill each other without hesitation."

@Elitestpotato
The RP will now assume the defined posting order, as listed below:

1. @Elitestpotato
2. @Ariamis
3. @LHG100
4. @Penultimate_Pi
5. @Dynamo Frokane
6. @Cassowarysaur
7. @knighthawk
8. @redbaron1234
9. @DarkRecon
10. @Eisenhorn

The order is based on a combination of Framewerk speed and Synchro Rate, with a small influence of thread activity. If you think you are unable to post when it's your turn, let me know so we can wait a bit instead of skipping over you. Also, add the mention tag of the next poster at the end of your post so they'll know when it's their turn faster, like I did with Elitestpotato.
As an additional rule, if there is a poster who doesn't post anything for a day and it is their turn, their turn will be skipped over to the next one. For example, if it's Eisenhorn's turn, but he doesn't post anything for a day, his turn will be skipped, and the next poster to post will be Elitestpotato.



Now then, some word of advice for the mock battle: be respectful to your roleplaying partners, and try to discuss any disagreements you may have in a fair manner. I want to avoid being a referee for as much as possible. There is no shame in losing after a valiant struggle, and in fact I'll respect people who do that the most. Most importantly: Have fun!
I've decided: I'll now go to sleep, and if he hasn't responded back to me or posted anything on the thread by the time I wake up, I'll assume Stukov did the same preparations as everyone else and start the fight. I'll also drop him a couple of slots down on the order to give him some time.
