"Yeah, well, you and me both," Ylfa replied to Quentin. "Well, outside of VR games and shit like that anyways," she added. Putting together a suit for him was relatively easy, and was not unlike playing with an extra-large action figure. It just so happened that this one was something Nepleslian figures were not; feminine. To add insult to injury though, it was also rather...squishy inside. The bio-organic layers of the suit was separated from anyone climbing inside by a layer of cloth, and that was it. "There. The back's open, so climb up, slide in and slip your arms into its sleeves. Just make sure to disable the auto-catheter. We shouldn't be that long in these anyways." Stepping back, she readied the rest of his gear as he got into the Yamataian power armor.
Fully suited, Kelly finished up checking over her own equipment - a Mindy fitted with older gear. Standing there, he got to watch as the
periwinkle colored armor thrust both arms into the air and stretch as it came off the maintenance rack. Turning its head to look at the young man, the Mindy put its fists at its hips and stood as though she were annoyed. "They still work for a total bitch you know," the Freespacer reminded him. Taking a few steps closer, she quickly bopped him in the chest, pushing him a bit. "And, you must be too busy scanning me from head to toe to remember those are my dumb little brothers you're talking about," she chastised him, a small but hard edge in her voice. Grumpily walking away from the idealistic Nepleslian, she shot one last remark at him over her shoulder. "I'll terminate them, but I don't have to like it one bit."
Meanwhile, the "Nani?!?!" that Chiaki let out at Briggs could have landed her a job as an anime voice actress. "Baka-gaijin, aether works anywhere. It's not like it's antimatter or something!" she wagged a finger at him. Seeing the marine already starting to lock weapons into place, the Daisy clad Neko let out an irritated "Hmph!" before returning the weapons to the armory, a slight limp in one leg. As everyone finished up getting ready however, Ylfa looked over them all as she nodded to the others waiting on a game plan.
"The plan's pretty simple, but depending on what we got to go off of, pulling it off can go differently," the Sergeant started to explain. "Since it basically looks like they did something to the AI of the station, its MEGAMI, we need to recapture her core area and reboot her if we can. Failing that, contact the Sledge Mama and anyone else nearby for backup if we haven't managed to already." Shooting Max a grin, she nodded along with his idea. "Damn straight they're going to earn it back. Though, we might not be the ones to give coax Freia out of her hidey hole." She looked right at Chiaki. "If taking that elevator shaft isn't the fastest way to get to your MEGAMI, you'll have to go play fetch yourselves," the woman explained.
"Hai, hai," she nodded in understanding. Holding out a hand palm up, an image of
the station itself came to life in front of them all. "We're in one of the outer modules, not the central command one, so in order to get there as quickly as possible, you'll have to take the main transit system rather than the maintenance elevators you've been using," the Neko began to explain, pointing at the spindly connections between the outer saucers and the main body. "That's not a good idea in this case, since it seems most of the station is locked down, and they may have sentries waiting along that area - you're better off doing a short space walk. Meanwhile, as soon as you depart, I'll be making my way to these other survivors you've mentioned. Anyone capable of fighting, I'll send your way," she curtly told them all.
"That sounds like what I was thinking in a nut-shell, minus the action," Ylfa shrugged. "At the most, we'll see some sort of off-the-shelf power armors and such besides just the Militants," she added. Grabbing a spare forearm shield and latching it onto her armor with a solid clank, the woman asked one last time, "Any questions Marines?"
