-there's a beeping sound in your collective cockpits, as 'above' you, on an asteroid stands a full scale version of the mecha
◊ that's been hounding you guys since the beginning only he is packing a really big cannon now-
???: I'd appreciate it if you didn't.

???: ooooh, snarky. well to cut to the chase, neither.
Leave the crystal and we don't have to fight.
You all-
-he looks at the zaku III piloted by Haken briefly-
well most of you, are not from this planet so I don't have any orders to bring you harm unless necessary. You should leave and let what needs to happen happen.
Asagi: ...I know what needs to be done now.
-The Zaku 1's ancient cyclopean eye swivels to look over at the far fancier Huckebein Mk II-
@Takanuva ...Don't let go of that goddamn crystal, and boost like you're made of solar radiation panels.
We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)???: oh come on, you're mercenaries, business would be good for you if-
-the unknown mecha gets cut off mid speech as Haken's Zaku III kicks it in the side and sends it hurtling into the beam blast and rifle fire which blows it into an asteroid generating a cloud of dust-
Haken: you're falling here and now.
-his zaku III opens up with its beam machine gun into the place where the mecha slammed into the asteroid-
-meanwhile takanuva has some extra friends
◊ on his tails, both firing beam rifles-
—Takanuva takes evasive action and tries losing them among the debris of the destroyed ship, pulling out his beam rifle while he tries to take cover for a moment behind a piece of the hull—
@Asagi: Thanks for the backup!

'If you fall seven times, stand up eight.' The cry of the Undead.Haken: hey i didn't say-
-and then the unknown mech slams him into an asteroid as payback, the two of them getting tangled up in a dog fight as the group spreads out to deal with the mooks-
-meanwhile the unknown mooks, which i'll refer to as pawns for the sake of sanity, spread out as they get fired on from behind, two break left and two break right, but one cuts its thrusters and lands on a piece of debris, jump kicking off it to hurl itself right back at asagi as a sword of green crystal forms on one of its arms.-
-Asagi sees the pawn hurtling itself at her, and in response, she pulls out the heat tomahawk on the zaku 1, and then bravely charges forward to her doom-
-...Actually, that's a lie. Since she's still boosting forward, and the pawn is heading straight at her, rather than trying to immediately kill momentum (fat chance of that occurring) she alters her flight path lower on the z-axis so that it would sail completely over her when it attempts to swing at her-
-Space combat is quite a different beast, after all-

@Group: Okay guys, I'm going in.
—Carefully, Takanuva maneuvers his mech so it's closer to the crystal, and reaches out to acquire a sample—
