Well I might as ask the question then: What should Krista do? I think she's actually close to Elise and is otherwise unable to fight. Best she could do in a fight is put up her shield. Maybe she could try and catch her?
... lastly there was a detective pop up, a certain Max Payne who seemed all too uninteresting for her...


I know that he is literally another person's character, but [i]Ow[/]. Glad to feel welcome here :P





Handsome Jack's announcement caught me sleeping in a quiet corner underground. Not the worst place I've slept, and cooler than the surface. After walking for the better part of a day, anything vaguely soft was a welcome bed. My back cracked as I got off the pile of broken down cardboard boxes. The residents had been surprisingly generous given the situation. I took a moment to collect my belongings, as well as anything that might be useful for the town. It didn't seem like every nook and cranny had been searched, and I took a moment to collect what I could before heading out. I didn't really look closely at what I grabbed, just threw it into a box. [ROLL FOR LOOT]

My headache drummed out a marching beat as I made my way over to the RED side of town. The mirrored nature of all the major features made navigation surreal, like crossing over to an alternate reality. I slouched into the office of the Mayor, only to bump into the others that had answered the call. Clearly I was late, an excellent first impression. Thankfully it seemed that the group was introducing itself.

"I'm Cedar Birch, M-Mr. Marston! North sounds like a g-good direction. I personally like south but that's only because south is more interesting to say."


I quietly listened to Cedar go on, reflecting on the others before something she said caught my attention.

"Um, uh..." Cedar hesitated but slowly rose her hand. "I died once. At least I think I did. There was a big flash, a loud noise, lots of heat, and then everything went dark. The fact everyone was turning into zombies and dying probably meant we got bombed."

The teen tried to speak clearly and simply, but her voice had a not so subtle shake to it as she recalled what she had gone through and the things she had seem crawling and shambling through the streets of Raccoon city.

"L-last year I can remember was 1998, can't remember the month though. I wasn't very good at keeping track of dates."


Now, it takes a lot to surprise me, especially after waking up in this patchwork world, but that did it. "Excuse me? You died in 1998? It was 2004 for me." I then noticed that I'd interrupted the cowboy, and the silent woman waving her hands around. "Sorry, I'm Max Payne, NYPD Detective." I waved my hand towards the others. "Go on."

Krista Reynolds



"Crap crap crap!" Krista tried in vain to stop the Hou-Yi's spinning. Micro-thrusters fired off uselessly, sometimes helping, a lot of times doing nothing. Hou-Yi moaned around her, the broken cannon swinging around. It banged hard on the edges of it's elevation and just made the already difficult task of stabilization harder.

After a few moments of spinning, it was all she could do to curl up and try not to vomit in the cockpit. She didn't need to look at the readouts to tell she had desynchronized with it. To someone that had been so attuned to every frame she'd piloted, every input felt sluggish. Like she was moving through oil. She would've had a hard time pulling out of this spin in a timely matter at the best of times.

"Hou-Yi, I'm on my way to assist."


Krista opened her eyes long enough to spot Zim incoming. "Roger that," she squeaked back. She waited patiently for him to come over, letting out a sigh of relief as her spinning slowed down. She shook out her head as she was able to sit up again, no longer plastered to her seat by g-forces. "Thanks for the help"

"Status?" Zim asked Hou-Yi.


Taking a deep breath, Krista looked through the readouts in front of her. "Not good. My cannon's completely non-functional, and I can barely turn it even then. My Priwen system hasn't been breached, thank God, but it's mounted to the Cannon's turret." She let out a deep sigh. "At least my thrusters are all good, but I'm not going to be much help in a fight right now. I'm going to pull back." She carefully disengaged from Zim, firing up her thrusters to get behind the line. She opened a line to Elise. "Sergeant Steinhart, this is Hou-Yi. Zim helped me pull out of my spin. My cannon is busted but my shield is still operational. I'm pulling back for now."

Summary:
- Moving to E10
Sorrry for being out of it, I am traveling. I should be able to get a post out soon though
Okay, after way too much procrastination, I present to you:
@Mr Rage I wouldn't mind the help, but ultimately it is up to the GM's. If you can't, I wont be too sore. Im sure I can eventually straighten out.
@Ariamis Ah good to know. Not going to really matter for now except for the hit to her ego, unless she can pull some Wanted shit and time the spinning to line up the shot.
