Hm, very interesting. I'm getting a nice Dark Souls/Metro 2033 vibe off of this. And that's a good thing

Ooh mechs. Yes please
Finch
The heist had gone down without a hitch, much to the satisfaction of one Finch as he strode away from the vault itself. Well, to be honest he was a bit disappointed that no one had shown up to try and stop him, but that was explainable given the circumstances. Apparently he had coincidentally timed his heist with a Swarm Rat attack. He had no love for the Swarm of course, but he was not going to look down something like this when it came around.
Grinning, he spun a glass knife around like some sort of toy as he eyed the haul they were taking away from this, while his men loaded it up in the truck. "Thank you for your cooperation everyone," he called out with a grin to all those in the bank who had been rendered harmless in the course of this whole thing. Fortunately, the presence of actual heroes made the ordinary citizen a lot less likely to play hero, which worked out better for him.
"Alright guys, load it up and let's get out of here," he said with a grin, shifting his knife into a thin cane that he tapped along the ground as he called out to his men. They had everything they could fit on to their transport, and with that in mind there wasn't really any reason for him to stick around and wait for someone to show up and ruin his fun even with the Swarm to distract everyone.
His people were quick to exit the building, and he followed after them with a spring in his step. He had almost walked out the door when he stopped in thought for a few moments. He then shrugged to himself, and the cane shifted into a glass rose with tinted glass that almost looked red and green like an actual rose. He walked over to the nearest female customer, bowing and handing her the rose. "Here you are. Hold on to it, it could be worth something someday." With that h took his leave, exiting the building with a wave over his shoulder.
Once outside the group loaded up, Finch riding shotgun as he let one of his people take the job of driving. "Take us to the place on the West Side," he instructed. It was a smaller safehouse, and a place where they could deal with the vehicle and the logistics of offloading their score. The sound of the engine and spinning rubber filled the air as they took off, headed on their way. Another successful caper from the Finch, and he could not be happier.

Well I was trying to keep most of my genuine criticisms for after the battle ended, but fortunately for me it seems like I don't have to do so now. I genuinely believe that Eos is actively trying to not win this fight, but if we have reached a point where every time I poke up to make a criticism it is either seen as sarcasm that doesn't matter or a passive-aggressive attempt to self destruct an RP I don't care about (which is untrue) then clearly our relationship has degraded to the point where things ar untenable.
As a result I will save you the trouble of having to ban me again and voluntarily withdraw from this RP. Have fun the rest of you, and I'll make sure not to join another of your games until I've run a successful RP of my own.

Alicia Hayden
Though she had been participating in the fight, Alicia had not been expecting the explosive conclusion to the fight that had taken place. She had been thrown off her rooftop perch by the force of the blast as well as the earlier attack launched her way, and she only regained it to find that Helga was gone and Lily standing there with some kind of transformation in effect. Which was unnerving all on its own, if she were to be honest.
Quickly she strung Star Seraph again, but she made no move to attack. Suwako would do better with restraining her should that need to be an option. She instead trained her bow on the duo, if only to serve as a deterrent and nothing else. Things had rapidly developed, and she wasn't even sure if the two they had been fighting would stick around or not. But she knew that they had a lot to deal with.
"Beckoner," she called out, summoning her liaison from the Beacon to look at the situation. "Should we treat her as an ally? She doesn't seem to be a monster...." It seemed better to be safe than sorry, especially in a complicated situation like this.

So if it's just purple prose then....how are you nuking almost the entire outside of the city sized factory without destroying the factory too? 
It clearly doesn't have a protective shield after all
It clearly doesn't have a protective shield after allI still think description would have been nice for the factory. For all we knew the entire thing could have been a Manhattan sized building buried underground. But I guess it's a bit late now, so it's more something to keep in mind for future battles. We can't react appropriately if we lack important information. And considering your general opinion of us I'm surprised you don't just default to pointing out the blatantly obvious off the bat.
You know, 'factory is the size of Manhattan' is one of those things that really should be mentioned in the description of the battlefield, as opposed to leaving the players to assume how big the factory is.
Also RIP MichaHelga. Too pure for this world
Considering Eos hasn't been acting like a commander beyond vague 'do this thing' directives to specific individuals, I'm not surprised that the Machina are winging other at the moment.
EDIT: Like, going back the only person to disobey a command from Eos is Lillian. And this is because she is the only one to actually get a direct command from Eos. The only other applicable thing that happened in the entire battle was when Eos told her people at the beginning to essentially kill people and defend the factory. And since the factory was basically indefensible from the get go, they're doing their best anyways. So claiming that the Machina fail because they're incapable of listening to directions that haven't been provided is incredibly misleading
