@Bartimaeus thank you for posting that.

NCQuest - A Mecha RP: The Defense of Darwin (BeeNCQuest)

Kxeyun Amarati

---

Upon hearing the order to sortie, Kxeyun gives Terra a gentle hug then darts off, running to her room to change into her entry suit. It conveniently looked a lot like her normal clothing except in a drysuit fashion. After that's done, she runs off to her NC, smiling widely "Oh how they'll see my claws turn the enemy into a filleted fish... That's too dark, I'll just cut them up and capture them." The large back plate on Sahaquiel is lowered, and unlike most NCs there are TWO entry mechanisms, a silver pod is inserted into the top one, that's the ejection pod. Kxeyun clambers into the lower one, playing leapfrog with the passenger seat, sliding into the main one. Upon doing that, she attaches a special collar to herself and grabs the rather advanced physical controls which yet again is unusual for an NC. After a few button presses, the NC starts up, a handful of startup commands flashing across the screen. Behind her, she can hear the entry hatch close as the metal plate slides back into position, temporarily dousing her in pitch blackness. After exactly five seconds, screens all around her flicker to life, showing her the outside of the NC and status indicators. A large status indicator flashes in front of her then vanishes, reading:

MENTAL CONTAMINATION: ZERO PERCENT.
LINK STATUS: HEALTHY.
SAHAQUIEL: ONLINE.
COMMAND>START: INITIATED.
ALL SYSTEMS NOMINAL, ENGINES ACTIVATED.
SELF TEST CONFIRMED.
"God is in his Heaven, all's right with the world."

After a short amount of time, Sahaquiel is released into the battlefield. She walks forward slowly, stomping with every footstep, kicking up dust. She proceeds to crouch down behind a large building, waiting for the enemy and to avoid snipers. She turns on the communication systems and tells the team "Godspeed, everyone. Let's not die today." Sahaquiel pokes its head up. "I uh... See an NC, black and purple with horns on its head. I'm... Not picking up any life signatures from it, no jamming detected. That's impossible! No NC can operate without a human pilot! Why does it look exactly like an armored human?" Her NC's claws twitch and the hands ball up into fists.

TABRIS

TABRIS hovers gently through the barrier, proceeding to hover about the battlefield head turning to check out the competitors. She mutters to herself using the NC's loudspeakers "Pitiful creatures... Slaves to your machines..." She proceeds to shout over the comms system "HISAKO! Calm yourself! Overextending yourself like that will only get you killed! That big clawed one looks like it'll be able to tear you up in seconds. Something isn't right with it, it's producing double the energy of the other NCs on their side, is it trying to draw attention to itself?" TABRIS hasn't spotted Oh-Cee jamming, thankfully "Other Red-Star pilots, I'd advise staying out of long narrow areas, they seem poised to take advantage of that. I'll flank and try and hit them from the side." She proceeds to dart off, moving elegantly. Too elegantly to have a normal pilot, of course. Her moves are like an ice skater, swiftly skating across the ground. If anything were to get in her way, well, she'd start cutting at them.

Once she gets in position, her swords stab into the ground, bringing her to a halt. She brings them up out of the ground and fires her EMP in a small area around her, just in case there were any traps. Her energy shields then spring to life, and she spins around with her swords outstretched, cutting anything in their path, ruining buildings and valuables left behind. Just to be a pain in the ass, she completely wrecks a building next to her, gently laughing. She destroyed a home to a family of five. "Causing psychological trauma will be fun... Destroy everything, make 'em cry. They'll rebel against Haven for not protecting their homes better. Weak ass Havenites..."

Kxeyun Amarati

The physical contact from Zahra and Terra snaps her out of the memories, her mouth forms the words "You care for me? You care for me?" without ever saying them. One hand turns and grips onto Zahra's, the other reaches up and gently grabs Terra's hand, taking in the feeling. She still looks very much broken, but something about Terra's firm grip caused something to click in her, something that would serve to keep her sanity in check. The shattered girl stands up, letting go of their hands. Then, she hugs Terra, whispering "I hope you can, I can't carry this burden... It pulls me close, like a devil within. It doesn't want me to break free, it's part of me, wrenching me apart, makes me cry every night... I move on, I move on because I need to. It hurts me, I don't care. We won't be normal, I know this. Ever since I piloted an NC, I've felt different... I won't die on you, my blood won't fall into your hands. We'll survive this, I'll make sure of it. My claws will tear." The girl doesn't let go of Terra, letting out tears of relief. She felt understood, even accepted by this ex-Red Star pilot. "Thank you for listening to me, Terra... I'll keep you safe too, you won't die on my watch." Then, she stops talking, though it's clear there's more on her chest than this. But that can't hurt her now, there's a mission to do, and people to protect.

Kxeyun gladly accepts the offer to sit down, slightly shocked by how quick she figured that out. "Indeed, I had to leave many behind." A long sigh escapes her lips. "I'm like you, it looks. I escaped Denver with Sahaquiel. She's designed to cut and claw at enemies, she's well armored and fast. I originally was part of Denver's Reality Games, where people were put in NCs to hunt down criminals and volunteers in an arena for sport. I was noted to be one of the best and was recruited into the military, they gave me an all-melee NC. I haven't really found my home, yet. When I left..." Her composure is breaking. "My friend... Jack, came for me... He tried to capture me, I killed him... I didn't want to, I liked him... Why did I kill him? I could've captured him..." She's on the verge of crying now, hands shaking a bit, eyes darting back and forth all over the place. "My family too... Why did they abandon me?" She thrusts her hands up and covers her eyes. It appears she can't control her memories and train of thought well, which is a glaring problem if these thoughts occur in a fight.

Kxeyun minds her own business, having black coffee, smiling and closing her eyes. "Coffee truly is the best thing in the universe." She then gets up and walks over to Terra. "So, what's your name? You seem the most interesting out of everyone else here. My name is Kxeyun Amarati, my NC is Sahaquiel, Ingenuity of God. I'm not religious, though, Denver-Vegas named that glorious machine that." she's extremely energetic, and a fast talker. Her hands are clenched into fists, though. Perhaps she's slightly angry at something despite her smile? She's also leaning a bit, perhaps to make herself cuter than normal.

This is actually false, but it may open if I cannot play for a while.
