@Ceta de Cloyes this is the Int Check thread, not the actual roleplay
I am interested greatly.
((collab post between @Senhara and @AzenExile))

The giant machine of war crawled over rubble and ruined roads, crossing over the terrain without too much difficulty. Although it was slow, it at least took care of whatever was before it. Whatever it rolled over, it suffered little to no damage. Inside the tank though, the AI was constantly reporting to her pilot whatever was going on outside. Even as the cameras transmitted beautiful footage to the senses of the pilot, it was not enough to simply trust them. Her eyes and ears need the help of her AI. And at this time, the AI started to tell her pilot about a certain object of interest

"Warning: Possible hostile NC located. Scanning target of interest. Weapons automatically becoming ready."

"Very well. Does it see us?" Said Queen Mariano.

"Negative, Ma'am. The NC does not seem to have noticed us. It is probably occupied. Still determining what it is doing."

"Very well. Keep doing that."

She reached out for the right hand lever and pulled it towards her, her action causing the tank to turn to the right too. Outside of her comfortable fighting space, the groaning of the treads and the whining of the wheels was loud enough for anyone close to it or not so close to it to hear. The tanks turret was also starting to turn towards the target of interest while the machine gun on the tank as well as the 20mm six-barreled rotary cannon turned with it. Both the MG and the cannon served as secondaries. There was another MG mounted close to the gun too but it was more of a co-axial.

Once the tank faced the target of interest, the AI confirmed it to be hostile. Right now, it seemed to be unleashing its wrath on some buildings. Mariano sighed as she prayed there are no civilians left here. She didn't want to worry about collateral losses. Not about casualties. Not like the Uprising. At least the AI told her

"My lady, there are no life signs within this NC. Shall I designate this threat as Red Star-1?"

"Yes."

At this point, she gave her orders

"All right. Covenant, I want the tank to go to you. Drive it. I'll handle the command. Weapons on automatic now."

"Very well, Ma'am." Spoke the AI as the tank started to register her commands. Soon enough, she was shown a different interface. Unlike the universal one, this one only showed her what a commander of a tank would need. She has the right to take over the weapons but for now, she had to make sure she had a plan. And she worked it out. She instructed

"Engage the enemy. Target: Red Star NC - hovering, humanoid! Fire one, SABOT, range 50 meters! Fire two, SABOT, range 70 meters! Cannon, engage, engage, engage!"

At her very words, even if she didn't say them out loud, the tank let its 95mm Main Coil Gun unleash a Smart target-activated fire-and-forget sabot round that flew towards its target directly while the cannon, which started to rotate earlier, began to spit armor piercing rounds with tracers against the NC.



The large black and purple machine was surprised, the first round knocking her down and through a few buildings, despite her shields being on low power. Her hover deactivates, and right when the second round is about to hit, the energy shields flow to maximum, taking the impact. She gets back up, staring right at the tank. She took some damage, nothing major. The rest of the shots klink against the shields. She and crouches behind a tall building, opening comms with the tank. "You have a lot of nerve shooting me! Let's test how good you really are..." Comms close, and the NC begins running, making way past the others, using buildings to her advantage as she runs to the tank.

"All right! Target is responding! Calling for back up! Meanwhile...REVERSE! FUCKING REVERSE! NOW!" She cried out as she took over controls for the main gun. She waited for it to load the third round. As it did, the machinery crying out, the cannon continued to fire at the target.

But at least this tank was moving back. It had to reverse and put as much distance as it can between it and the incoming NC. It cannot afford to be flanked or engaged too heavily. So for now it was going to fight a beating retreat. For now.

The tank continued to move but the gun was now loaded. The AI kept reporting the distance that was being closed. Meanwhile, Queen Mariano made sure that the round that was loaded was one that would hopefully deal with the shield. It was also a SABOT round but it was fitted with an anti-electronic warhead. If this didn't work, she'd have to rely on both back up and some manner of engaging this bitch without losing too much. She can't die here. Not on soil that isn't Spanish or European.

"FIRE!" And the gun fired again, a great boom filling the air around the tank as the round with the specialized warhead attempted to strike the dark machine.



The carefully placed SABOT shell hits, bypassing the shields. The machine is knocked back and takes physical damage, surprising the shit out of it. She then gets up, unharmed by the EMP effect! Comms reopen "Oh you fuuucking bitch, running like a little coward!" The NC looks to be shrugging off the pain. TABRIS then runs into a lane directly infront of the tank. MTAM Itano missile pods open, then fourty missiles fly out of the machine, all of them light but... They're erratically flying, making point defence useless! TABRIS knows the tank's weakness, it's slow. So she charges!



"Put some smoke in her face! Smoke now!" She cried out at the same time that missile warnings came over the audio feeds and the AI stated

"Countermeasures engaging, engaging now."

In seconds, as fast as it could, the grenade launchers first threw smoke. Almost immediately, the smoke bombs blew and filled the area in front of the tank with smoke. Some of the grenades managed to go as far as several hundred meters in order to throw off the NC and confuse it as much as it hopefully could confuse the missiles.

If that failed, the rest of the systems went into action. First, the countermeasures released flares. Then as the flares sparked and flew, chaff was tossed into the sky above the front area of the tank. If that too should fail, the systems let go of a mighty volley of explosives. For the tank had reactive armor bricks mounted on the turret and the front hull, exploding in the face of the NC if it reached the tank.

At the same time, Mariano ordered

"FIRE FOUR! LOAD HE-EMP NOW!"

And the round that was unleashed was the same round that she placed well. She hoped that this round would reach its target!



The MTAMs were designed to strike from all angles, a good chunk miss and hit surrounding areas, but the tank is still struck from the sides. Explosions also ring out around the tank from the missiles that missed. The shields re-activate just a tiny bit too late, triggering the SABOT to go off right next to the NC's right arm. The machine stumbles as the arm takes a bit of damage, making it noticably slower than usual. Again, the EMP disables the shields but fails to affect the NC itself.

The hits affecting the tank rocked the pilot as she groaned. It was uncomfortable and painful. She couldn't get used to it right now. What mattered now was that she had to fight and survive. She reacted by continuing to force the tank to reverse, rolling over small buildings and vehicles. Mariano didn't panic at least but she knew she was going to lose if nothing was done. For now, all she could do was get the tank rolling backwards, to keep it as far away from this rampaging TABRIS.
Exactly, stark, and for a distracting song, have this.
@Bartimaeus thank you for posting that.
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..."
