Fal Drudis Spaceport, Mazerin
Malakai 1, 935
04: 25, Commonwealth Standard Time
The blowing winds of Mazerin signaled nothing, but the waning away of the idle time spent on the top of the terminal. Mu'Tasim turned to the rest of the group, somewhat ignorant of their previous actions. He seemed cheery, the altitude and coldness have less effect on him.
Zalus snuggled back into the seat of his VANDR and opened a link to the other pilots. "Well today is shaping up to be a great day! Did anyone else thought they were supposed to dismount as well? It was kinda cold out there..."
"Nope, the cold would be a tad too much for me." Mu'Tasim said with a ring to his tone. "Though, Ruh says, 'All our actions are building blocks for tomorrow."
Alia rolled her eyes as Mu'Tasim used one of his many sayings. "Do you keep a little book of sayings on you Mu?"
Zalus laughed, "I'm pretty sure the book isn't small my dear. I would venture to call it a tome."
Famasir pointed to his head, and Mu'Tasim replied, "As said by Paralov, 'The mind is the biggest book of all'."
"Well, Mu'Tasim is a Temple Guard, and Steward of our chapel back at our base. I wouldn't put it past him not to read passages from the Book of Dreams, or pick up on little sayings here, or there." Amari commented as she leaned back in her seat, adjusting the jacket she wore.
"True, though, I'm sure you've had some witty saying yourself, Ms. Al-Sumed. You seem like a rather clever lady, at least, to me." Mu'Tasim chuckled, Famasir turning in response to his words, facing the support ship.
Zalus shift slightly in his seat and looked out over the horizon. "We have a nice view up here don't we? Quick my Cleric friend do you have a saying to describe the beauty of a view like this?"
Mu'Tasim looked out over at the horizon as well, and thought for a moment. "Hmm... Yetsava says, 'Beauty is in every thing, though, we never see the true beauty of any thing until we trully see for what it is.'"
Zalus smiled and nodded his head. "Very apropriate sir. Do you search for these sayings or do you just come across them in your studies?"
Amari inclined her head as she saw the VANDR turn about to face the ship. "There is also the ancient Saali saying of "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It more or less means each person's definition of beauty is different."
"I just come across them, similarly as a Amari said. It's all just wisdom of the past, that guides our future." Mu'Tasim said to Zalus, then looked back at Amari, "But you see, understanding those sayings," he looked back at Zalus again, "Is also important."
"So you want us to understand the medium in the message, because otherwise the content would be lost?" Alia muttered, threading her fingers and enclining in her pilot seat.
Amari tilted her head to the side, placing it on Alia's shoulder as she more or less cuddled against the woman for a little warmth. "You can learn from your past misdeeds, and those of others. Or their triumphs. Even in the worse of times there is something to be learned, one simply has to look for the meaning."
Zalus cut it.
"Yes, exactly right! Otherwise, you may give false people may call you an idiot for saying the wrong thing." Mu'Tasim said with a triumphant tone.
"For instance I learned never to drink and then try to replace a cooling manifold.."
"Yes... Zalus..." The Guard said, Famasir bringing a hand to it's chin. "That 'would' be one of those moments... Tell me, how well went your examinations for induction into the Vanguard?"
Zalus scrached his head and looked up. "Well... I think I was in the top 75% of my class. I think. Didn't do too bad I don't belive. Why do you ask?"
"No reason, friend, just wondering a few things." Mu'Tasim said, and the looked down at the terminal floor. The snow around him and some of the other members had melted a little bit, causing slush to form around them. "I wonder how it's going down there..."
"We haven't heard Laiz fire, nor calls for backup as of yet." Amari supplied.
"Mm! True, so it is good to assume things are going well." Mu'Tasim said cheerfully, "Though, it does confuse me as to why the Marranr would not take advantage of my infantry experience and have me help guard the unit."
“Incoming, incoming!” Famasir called out over the communications of the wing, as a large white canister, armored in a thick layer of smooth opaque Agridinn crashed onto the platform and rolled. Small flaps had somehow been torn off the sides as it had come down, and a cloud of loose, glowing blue particles scattered around the landing pad and terminal. Communications and sensors went haywire, before suddenly giving no signal and no reply.
The silhouettes of eleven 'Soono' units had been registered before the sudden blackout, and three were already in view.
Malik had been unlucky, targeted by the first of the four serpentine figures that loomed overhead, and before he had been able to reactivate his shields and weapons, was suddenly peppered in laser fire. Armor caught aflame and burst into small puffs of pungent vapor as Shamshir was torn apart by the repeating laser fire of three units, as a third began charging the larger laser cannon in its lower body to finish him off quickly.
Meanwhile, Zalus and Savitar came under fire, but their properly active VANDR automatically raised their arms and activated their Vector Barriers to absorb the incoming fire of the seven remaining enemies. This instinctive response on the part of the frames was done as a reflex by their VCANIOS cores, followed by a curt 'sorry' and a full diagnostic of available weapons and systems. Missiles and heavy particle cannons were locked because the lack of sensors made the usage of those weapons a liability, but lasers and melee options were allowed. As well, their sublight jump capabilities were cut down to a mere five hundred meters, because they had only basic optical scanning capability.
"Malik!" Mu'Tasim yelled, seeing his comrade getting torn at, and took quick note of the charging shot. The Temple Guard rushed to the soldiers aid, charging his shields and moving in the way of their aim. He began charging his cannons in attempt to fight them off. "Return fire! Return fire!" Mu'Tasim barked over the communications array.
Zalus shot up in his seat and grabbed the controls. His heart was racing and he tried his best to steady himself. "Why did no one see this shit coming?!" Zalus fired upon the Soono that was closest to him and started To look for adequate cover for Nara to hide behind.
Amari flinched at the bright flashes, loud bangs and whines of the weapons fire. Not to mention the sudden yelling over the comms. The good doctor did the only thing she COULD do in the present situation, putting the heads of her two counter parts down to avoid notice, and contact the other members of their team. "This is Al-Sumed! Hostiles have dropped on to our position and Malik has taken extreme damage, I repeat, hostiles have dropped on to our position, use extreme caution!" With that, she closed down the comms, and fingered the handle to her medical kit, knowing it would be entirely too foolish to rush out there now with so much laser fire flying around to try and get to the heavily damaged VANDR.
Mu'Tasim succeeded in defending Malik from the attack, but the enemy's beam blasy struck his VANDR squarely in the shoulder, the resulting explosion as his LCPA capacitor was overloaded, hurling himself and the frame he was guarding off the edge of the platform. Three of the mecha dived after them, one latching around Famasir's left leg and the others piling around it, as they began to fall down the hundred and twenty floors of air, steam and snow that stood between the two repulsed runners and an unpleasant landing.
----
Zalus would be able to pick up on the flashes of light and small explosions that went off as he slid for cover behind a large stack of industrial crates, but was not at an angle where he would be able to get a clear view of what had happened. Nara warned its pilot that his cover would be comprised in less than twenty seconds, but did not offer any alternatives to the current solution because of a lack of sensor data to create a solution from.
Zalus focused on any target he could could get a clean lane of fire on and started counting in his head. When he reached 15 he darted out from behind the cover towards anything else that might be used as cover.
The boxes reduced to a mess of ash and warped metal flimsily covering his VANDR's back, it was little surprise that Nara was struck with several weak beam hits when it fled, the blasts thankfully mitigated by the unit's superior shields. Panicking, the frame's VCANIOS suggested he take the battle into the air, to avoid any further damages to the platform and present him with better maneuvering room. It calculated that the odds were fairly good that the enemy 'Soono' were also fighting blind, without sensors or communications.
"Oh thank god something's going on." Was the first thought in Savitar's mind when his sensors registered an enemy presence. But they were coming up too fast to be appropriately countered and he repositioned himself to brace for it. When Malik and subsequently Mu shot off to go do battle he just groaned. "Idiots, both of them." he sighed and paused, activating his vector shroud for some stealth and followed them out at a bit of a distance. "Hm." He said and noticed the bad situation. "tch" He let out over the com and angled down and charged up his own shockbites. When he was within range, he unleashed the weapon fire, trying to knock the Soono's off of the others, while attempting to maintain his stealth.
The Shockbites, though charged did not fire, as the weapons lock imposed by his VCANIOS could not be overridden without the license of his commanding officer or a skillful mechanist, and neither had the capacity to do so with the heavy jamming caused by the particle canister. Amongst a list of jargon about safety regulations in urban environments and what might be considered
psionic chiding, Shiva reminded him about how the jamming seemed to have started with the arrival of the canister the the particles it was emitting.
A nondescript synthetic female voice came over inside of the digital dream projected by the VANDR, quiet and unemotional. "Suggest REPULSOR BURST and BEAM LASER Subweapons."
"Hn." Savitar growled and rolled his eyes. "Shiva, you don't have to give me the safety regulations and all that. I know why they're locked out. Activate repulsor bust and try to get a lock on the enemies immediately threatening the platform and fire the CELB's and LEMB in succession." He instructed the NI. "That should clear the road a bit."
Zalus spun around and jumped into the air. He tried his best to keep the Soono's in his frount arc and asked Nara to rout rear sheilding to the weapons array. Hopefully it would allow his shots to pack a bit more punch. "Nara feel free to dodge anything that might cause you some pain.
Shiva pointed up at the eleven Soono that up in the air, and fired off a burst of 52 laser beams from its forward batteries, using all four multi-beam and single beam lasers. This immediately carved up the nearest unit, tearing through its shields and causing it to experince a large number of systems failures as conduits were ruptured by the intense increase in temperature in certain sections of its body. The unit tumble to the ground, releasing a small plume of gray smoke from several gaping holes in the chest and arms. The remaining units were not struck as hard as Shiva had focused fired to be more efficient, but each felt a small drain in shield capacity.
The attack also provided a sufficiently flashy display to draw all the fire away from Zalus' Nara, allowing him a free run on the enemy Soono. Within a few moments, he was within arm's reach and when it panicked and attempted to flee, none of the other units seemed to respond, instead focusing their attention on the frame that had fired on them before. They began showering his unit in a hail of short-lived purple beams, to deal with the only VANDR on visual sensors.
When asked to reroute power, Nara seemed perplexed, but sent some of the power output from the rear vectors of the conformal shields to the wrist and shin-mounted laser cannons to lower their re-cycle time. Output was not increased, but the increase of power to those sections allowed them to operate more efficiently.
Savitar reacted by dodging backward and then up into the air to avoid them, doing his best to dodge what he could to take the least amount of damage. "Shiva, can you calculate if there's any lag at all between their attacks?" He asked the NI, holding off on firing to let the shield recharge to defend against the incoming attacks better. He attempted to bring up what was known about the Soono's systems and capabilities to try and figure out their armor and structure. "They're limited as we are so that evens the field some, now to pinpoint when they're vulnerable. What do you suggest Shiva?"
Zalus slashed into the Soono when he was with-in range . He was hopeing to kill the pilot of the armour so he would have a nice large piece of cover in the air. Nara also unloaded a volley of laser fire into the Soono's chest before Zalus's strike.
"Soono-type maneuvering thrusters (on hips) are not properly covered by shields." Shiva replied curtly.
Nara's CIVWS sword penetrated deeply into the left torso of the unit with a spurt of reddish-black ichor spewing from the gouge, causing the arm on that side to become limp and hang at an unnatural angle. The laser fire only compounded the damages, causing the entire unit to lose power as the reactor shut itself down to avoid a core meltdown. Zalus had not killed the pilot, as his VCANIOS informed him on his HUD that the cockpit of salvaged Soono were located at the top of the serpentine lower body.
Three of the black-painted frames had finally spotted Zalus, only noticing the blue and gold Erla VANDR as it tore their comrade apart, and finally turned to attack him, two of them firing of their hand lasers as a third lunged at him with both hands whirring loudly as the gyrated and glowing with the same fields which had been able to damage the EV's sword out in the icy plains on their first encounter. Savitar was not much luckier as he being pursued by the other two units left, only barely able to dodge between the large laser bursts fired off intermittently by his pursuers. One eventually clipped his right arm, causing the shield capacitor lodge in it to fail and become inoperable.
Savitar grunted some and fled into the chaff cloud and used it to his advantage and activated the vector shroud to nearly vanish into the cloud in an attempt to lose his pursuers for a moment. "Shiva, active the MRS." Savitar said as he had it fire off a burst from his left hand to produce an ERP cloud over the Soono units that were after him. His aim was to confuse them for a moment while he repositioned to attack their thrusters better.
Zalus grabbed the immobile Soono by the neck held it up as a shield while firing upon the charging Soono. "Damnit Nara we don't what the same thing to happen again girl." Zalus focused his fire upon the side of the frame with the glowing hand that would most likely hurt Nara.
