Falling Skies: 7th Mobile Armor Suit Team

Wait a minute why are short On MAS? We're the 7th. Aren't there 6 numbers before that?

Reminds me of a quote from Band of Brothers:

Frank Perconte: Okay, genius. Answer me this, then. How come Easy Company is the only company who's either at the front of an advance, or, like now, exposed at the far edge of the line?
Donald Hoobler: To keep you on your toes.
Frank Perconte: No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying, we're never in the middle. And we're the fifth of nine companies in this regiment. Able to Item. Think of it.

Just waiting on a verdict, really.

@Crimmy

Accepted. But I'm going to ask you to hold off on posting for a bit until we leave the Starbucks and set up for the assault.

Feral

@Cas: Sounds good.

It's too hot for this early in summer.. need some of Hagumi's snow, lol.

@Pumirya

Try living in the tropics. Eternal summer. None of that 24 degress Centigrade crap either. We can easily hit 38 degrees here.

Speaking of which, I'll be dealing with exams for this week. I'll post a reply when I can.

Last week hey? Well then we can finally kick off that 1x1 you proposed like... Two months ago!

@Whoami

Speaking of 1x1s...

@Bunnita The technicals are pretty well-geared, but nothing military grade, obviously. As for upgrades and stuff, pretty much we'll be taking over whatever's left over from the attack on the warehouse. Cerberus will provide us funds and we do our own shopping, pretty much.

Also, where's everyone else?

Is having two drivers really that odd for a team this big?

What if there needs to be a two pronged assault for instance?

@Onarax

It's not like none of our characters except Aimee can drive. Her specialization within this team is that she is able to steer any kind of vehicle expertly. If by overhauling you mean he can change the function of something entirely, then I misunderstood what his ability referred to. In that case, my only condition for accepting him is changing his vehicular specialization into something more niche.

The problem isn't that I don't want more than two people in a role, it's that I want something ONLY that character can do, or excels at above the others. For example, if he is able to operate vehicles that would otherwise require a second person or a crew to operate (within reason, obviously nothing like solo steering a battleship). Meaning that he could overhaul a tank so he could operate all its systems alone. Something like that.

[Closed] Cerberus: Law and Order

Rejected.

Aimee's already got all the vehicular stuff down and Arryn's Bloodline is too similar for me to justify adding him to the roster.

If you want to rework the character, go ahead. But as he is right now, I can't say I see a reason for him to join the team since someone else is already filling the role.

"Oh, fuck me!" Maki cursed as she was suddenly back from the sink. When the Lincoln was pulled out of hyperspace, the Japanese pilot had been washing her hands after using the bathroom. Somewhere in the back of her mind, an inner voice was patronizingly telling her that things could be worse. She could have been still on the toilet, for example, and she would have had to launch in the Hellcat with shit and piss all over her.

When the announcement for them to get to battle stations, the confusion set in. How the hell were they in a combat situation in the middle of hyperspace? She could ponder the question while on the way to the hangar, she reminded herself, as reflexes took over and she found her way to the Hellcat. Maki was too good a pilot and a soldier to believe in superstitions, but the fact that they had just witnessed something that was supposed to be impossible happen right after Ardin came on board seemed to indicate that their current situation was linked to his presence. The Coalition had developed technology that could pull a ship out of FTL travel. Trying to hit a fly on someone's shoulder from two miles away with a sniper rifle would have been an easier fit.

"I guess we know why Ardin wanted us out of Cerol ASAP." She muttered to herself as she climbed in the cockpit as the technician briefed her on the Hellcat's condition.

"We haven't had time to fix the hull damage but all systems should be working fine. Just avoid taking direct hits and you should be fine!"

"That's the general idea..." Maki replied as she booted up the Hellcat's systems and launched into combat with more haste and urgency than she ever had. "Hunter is online and ready to rumble. Scanning for targets and awaiting orders!" She reported, falling in beside Trapp. Privately on the squad comms, before orders came in, she made her uneasiness known.

"They managed to pull the Lincoln out of hyperspace? At FTL speed? What are we up against here?"

Maybe some of Victor's fashion sense will rub off oN Ellis.

Meanwhile Arryn is waiting to see what fresh hell of sexual harassment Aimee has up her sleeve.

Don't fall for it he's just waiting for them to mill you first!
