Lucy Dolores

It's changing everything again.



Lucy looks back and forth, watching what's in front, glancing behind herself, plus everything in-between. A soft sigh escapes her lips paired with a shudder traveling down her spine. She had been in fights before, she has killed before, but this was something else. Something more. "This is gonna be a fight for survival, not a battle to win, thanks to that messenger." She thought to herself, crossing her gaze onto the other Arms Masters. They're all faces she doesn't know, all people she had no time to learn and coordinate with. "Fighting is hard when you don't understand your friends and your enemies." pops out yet another complaint in her mind. Her left arm reaches over to caress her right arm, if it were present. Her hand grasps air, promptly resting on the side of her body. She promptly checks her equipment, outfitted like a regular soldier, glancing to her left side. A Glock 17 in it's holster, check. Her M4A1 seems to be fine, slung around her with a lanyard. She tests the fit of her helmet and torso armor, everything looks good to her, plus the hearing protection has a good seal, which means she won't go deaf today.

One of the regulars glances over to Lucy, lifting an eyebrow, speaking out "Aren't you supposed to have two arms in order to be eligible for combat?" in a somewhat accusatory tone. She glances towards that soldier, letting her left arm fall back to her side. With a flash, Daedalus appears, the mechanical magic arm turning and flexing as she shakes her head. "It's this one that matters." Lucy responds, as the flaps of Daedalus opens and closes harmlessly. "I uhh... Fair enough." He responds to her, with a shameful glance away. She grabs the grip of the rifle with Daedalus, lifting it up into a ready position. Her regular hand slots in a 30 round box mag, flicks off the safety, sets it to single, then pulls the charging handle. Notably, her finger sits outside the trigger well. She's not ready to fire, she needs to see them first, of course.

While other Arms Masters may only use their Noble Arm for the entirety of combat, Lucy's doesn't have great range. A good soldier uses all of the tools in her arsenal, this gun will suffice for now. People die easily, firearms are very good at that job, something she's known for a long time. Her cheek rests on the cheekrest, as she aims down the scope, waiting for the moment to open fire. She saw one of the other Arms Masters already engaging the enemy. "That's gonna land you in trouble, everyone's gonna shoot at you first. Better run back now." she quickly muses to herself, wondering if today will be the last day she takes a life. She can't fall now, especially not before she saves the Family.
@Senhara
He dropped a second PC.
Back to the grind, I suppose.
XD


Oh I completely missed that
@MagusDream, Approved if @SkyHresvelg and @Lewascan2 do not object.


All parties already approved Magus
This was approved on Discord by all the GMs, and was my suggestion, and I heavily recommend joining the server if you plan to join.

As a system to improve the survivability of PCs and other Arms Masters, this was come up with.

By virtue of being able to wield magic, NA users benefit from the ability to recover from gunshots and the like more effectively than a human and notably, their body healing up faster. This pulls power from their NA, so if you get hit, you live but your powers weaken. So instead of like a regular human taking a few rounds to be downed, 1-3 or the like, it'd take more like 4-8 to sustain for C class NA users before they'd be totally unable to use their powers and would need medical attention, with the more powerful NAs being able to withstand more. While Arms Masters are still under their cap for how much abuse they can take, if a "critical" hit occurs, say a shot through the heart or the skull occurs, they're incapacitated but all resources immediately go to fixing them up. The result of this is they're out for the fight, unconscious, but they're still alive. If they proceed to get shot more and not receive medical attention, or are over their capacity for how much damage they can take and receive a critical hit, they would instead die.

Fair warning for everyone, with Letter's older RPs you generally post a character sheet here, wait for approval, THEN move it to Char. Without that, it's hard to know who's char is accepted and who's is not.
Forgot to mention, but interested. Working on a char with the Noble Arm "Daedalus" :)

The machine observes Nero's offering, drinking in every visual detail and listening to him. The offering is... Interesting, but has it's problems. "My RoE set prohibits me from using such a weapon." She responds. "While an anti-vehicle weapon is acceptable, or an oversized shotgun, I cannot use your weapon." The rifle's weapon case shifts in her hands, almost unsteadily. Something didn't add up but... No matter, problem for another day. "Additionally, your weapon is suitable for closer ranges. This gun is suitable for close and more distant engagements. I cannot utilize thrower-style weapons more effectively than most rifles." With that, her explanation ceases, and she once more just observes Nero, almost methodically.

Nirrti receives Laurey's response, leaving her with a little read indicator. No response is needed here, they're on the same page now, though she does run through plans for self-maintenance if something does happen to Laurey, the thinking by the machine getting to the point active cooling kicks on to cool herself down. Her thoughts bring up multiple potential solutions depending on her damage state. Took some armor damage or lost an arm? She figures it'd be easy enough to get to a contractor to have them fix her up. Loss of legs or frame distortion? That might be something she can't deal with easily, she thinks. Some concern is brought up over critical structural damage, as she doesn't know if Joey could perform combat repairs. She also doubts Anne's ability too, large digits may not work well with tight parts in small areas, but does recognize Anne would be suitable for heavy lifting as a human surely could not lift her chassis, probably. As for Shineyd... She'd need to prove her worth before being allowed to poke around inside Nirrti.

While considering what to do if she were fatally, for a machine, damaged in a fight, she comes up with a somewhat unsatisfactory, but necessary solution that's come up time and time before. Just don't get shot at. Easier said than done, for a massive death robot. She also returns to the earlier concern about losing a leg, considering potential upgrades giving her four legs instead of two for redundancy. Such a thought is quickly tossed out for being too complex to maintain, and far too expensive to make the metal and source the mechanical workings. She also considers that having four legs wouldn't be that effective either, as the configuration would still result in her being crippled if she lost a leg.

Click. Nirrti received her orders. Combat operation. Nirrti isn't sure what to make of the new girl, Shineyd. Where the other humans can roughly identify her capability for warfare just by observing her idle actions, the machine falls short. She'd have to prove her worth in battle, to Nirrti. The machine quickly considers what to do if any of the team turns out to be a liability to her ability to fight, quickly disregarding that simulation with the reason "insufficient data". Finally, she processes what Joey said earlier, and silently agrees. Infighting would make the operations less likely to succeed, not that the machine cares enough to like or dislike the crew, yet.

She then spins up mission-related software, and creates a new mission entry.

OP: Kraken-C
Related OP: Kraken-A, Kraken-B, Kraken-D
Commanding Officer: Joey
Log Level: C1, Operation Preparation
Main Objective: Defend Moonstrike, defeat assailants. Success defined as diplomatic or military victory.
Operational Parameters: Follow Joey, await further instructions. Prepare for combat.


"Query," The AI speaks. "I request current tactical information and further data on the battlefield we will be entering, upon data delivery, I will be able to perform combat simulations to improve tactical decision making. This is optional, however, I am perfectly capable of functioning with no information." The machine pays some attention to Shineyd for a moment, then returns to speak to Joey. "I also request heavy weaponry, my chassis is optimal for carrying and utilizing heavy weapons. Repeat, this is optional, I can function without heavier weapons." The machine picks up her weapon case, it looks comically small compared to Nirrti... Or is she comically oversized? Depends on who you are.

After all questions are answered, and Joey begins to move, she would follow, though a burst of activity on the network would be detected from her, and Laurey's omnitool would ping.

Title: [Not Available]

Contents: Request. For prolonged maintenance after completion of all Kraken operations, it would be advisable if you do not sustain harm. It is likely I will require maintenance after combat operations, being unable to be repaired would limit future combat capabilities and my ability to help this crew. This is all.

Self interested? Maybe, probably. But the motivation for that message is clear.
