Current I don't understand how Tumblr RPing works. It boggles my mind. O.o

Things had escalated just as quick as the plan had detailed. The mission had gone from silent and peaceful to loud and furious in the blink of an eye. As Prowler had given the green light, multiple sites lit up with explosions and gun fire. Carmen always liked seeing that, it told her that the outfit she served in was on point and its pilots trusted in each other's abilities. Carmen had jumped off of the Hare before it ripped off the tarp and began speeding around to combat the weak resistance. Carmen would obviously fall behind, but she wasn't a front liner so she didn't mind.

She engaged her suit's thrusters and sped across the arid landscape to intercept one of the IFVs that accompanied the Ferir. She brought her HMAR to bear and fired off a burst of three at the same time the IFV fired back. Two shots made contact with Carmen, but her shield was able to safely stave off the smaller caliber weapons of the armored vehicle. The three rounds of the HMAR all made their mark thanks to her suit's targeting system. The first round punched through gun of the IFV, disarming it and making it a defenseless target. The second hit a tire and blew out the axle as well. The power of the HMAR and the sudden jerk in the vehicle's steering made it flip and roll a number of times before coming to a stop. The third shot dealt only superficial damage. Carmen zipped across the surface, leaving behind a growing dust cloud as she closed in on the wreckage of the IFV.

When she stopped in front of it, she could see the driver quickly coming to and fighting with his holster to get his pistol. Carmen walked around the side of it and took a hold of its twisted edges. She flipped it over with the augmented strength the suit offered and ripped the door right off. The driver shot but the small 9mm bullet produced a small crackle from her energy shield. She took a hold of the man by the gun hand and gripped tight, crushing both the gun and the hand. He scream and Carmen pulled him out of the vehicle, throwing him back a good ten feet. She used her thrusters to quickly close the gap again. The man was holding his ruined hand and looking up at Carmen fearfully. She sighed, "Gee, don't give me that look. You're probably the luckiest one among your band of merry raiders. Because I'm not going to kill you." she paused to gauge the expression on his face, "But I can't speak for the rest of my group. So I'll give you about five minutes to have a change of heart and give me some juicy information. If you behave, I might think about fashioning you a cybernetic hand."
I'll have a post up tonight.Apologies for my silence, I'm in the middle of a job transition so I've been rather busy making ends meet.
Shoot me pm whenever you're ready and we'll hammer out some details.
Well if you'd want to do a 1x1 or put up another interest check, we can take over?
This makes me sad. :(
Carmen calls the Hangar. All of it. So by proxy, your MAS units belong to her.
To put it into perspective, the Sirius has a max crew of 800. The Abraham Lincoln that the other Falling Skies RP uses as its flagship, has a max crew of 3600; that's more than 4x the amount of people than the Sirius needs. The Lincoln is just over a kilometer long at 1021 meters, the Sirius is only 127 meters long.
The hype was real, Myke.
Carmen sat on the shoulder of Samuel's MAS. Her legs were dangling over the rigid edge of the Rabbit's armor plating as she leaned back to enjoy the sun of the arid world. She kept her MUL-CE4 powered off to save energy and the joints unlocked to still move around. She listened to the motors, gears, and pistons working together to move the MAS; she always enjoyed the sound of her own maintenance work. Carmen had a pair of aviators over her eyes to fend off the sunlight while she looked around at the MAS units on the flanking force, she knew everything about each and every one of them.

Carmen was deployed to the flanking team both because of her ultra-light's speed and because she was a bit too important to be on the front line. The units on that were apart of the main attack force were able to take whatever damage they'd end up with and receive their repairs afterward. They wouldn't need field support, at least not on a mission as simple as this. Her task was to find the SAM trucks and paint them for the long range units on overwatch. Her high speed and low profile would allow her to get up close to them before anybody would notice. "Say, Samuel." Carmen added, "How much do you think a mobile SAM launcher goes for on the black market? If we don't destroy them, we could probably get a nice bonus if we sold 'em along with their munitions. I could probably just disable the launchers long enough that they'd be useless for the duration of the operation."

Before she could get her answer, two of the infantry started bickering about their job. Carmen knew that their chatter probably broke Samuel's chain of thought on the question. And once her suspicions were confirmed, Prowler ordered for a status report. "Oh well... Guess I'll find out later." she said to herself.

"Drillbit, reporting in." Carmen replied to Prowler as she stood up on the shoulder and began powering up the MUL-CE4. She took off her aviators and stored them in one of the many pouches dangling from a webbing that Carmen had put over her MAS. Carmen took a hold of her helmet that was clipped to the webbing and put if on her head. The MUL-CE attached to the helmet and sealed, lighting the visor up with a HUD display and data on the ultra-light.

Looking toward the artillery site that Samuel had spotted, it became highlighted in yellow. Caermen nodded, "I agree, that's where I'd have them. If that's the case, they probably have a small firebase up there. It'd be more than I could handle alone." Carmen reached behind her and detached the HMAR-12 from the magnetic lock on the side of her heavy ammo pack. She checked it over quickly before looking back toward the artillery site. "Hare and I could be fast enough to hit it before they're ready. What'o you say, Mr. Lin?" Carmen remained on the MAS' shoulder so she wouldn't need to keep up stride with a forty foot machine.
@vietmyke What is Carmen's starting funds?
