Galactic Soldier Troperion Brainstorm

Nope.

Mean. :P

Neo can get 403. Or 404, even better.

Bonus points: His browser 404s just as he's posting, and someone else gets the post.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I'll get 404. For now, sleep.

Gaaaaah! Why do we have two character sheets? X_x

There is Mythril Aces and Mythril Aces Character Sheet which is the right one?? Probably the one I didn't edit! :(

The former.

Is there a way to delete the other one, then?

And how do you get those buttons at the top of the pages??

Indeed. Mythril Aces Character Sheet needs to get deleted.

And I think you just blank the page, but I don't know...

I will be shifting around a lot today. I should be on frequently but it will be patchy.

I might not be on at all after ten minutes. School then work.

I checked over the two pages, Colette was on the old one so I moved her over and turned it into a redirect and it should all be ok now!!

Now read this!

Kennedy got just a glimpse of the scene they'd headed into before cutting her frame off from all exterior senses. There was a ship, obviously Centauri by design. It looked far too small to be carting Mythril or even a sizable compliment of frames, of which she'd only caught one in view. Another Stalker, it was steamlined compared to the earlier ones, almost the same size as the Quicksilvers. Its jamming was clearly superior as well, Kennedy hadn't caught a flicker on her radar before Harker's sudden descent.

Counting down, the Quicksilver shuddered at 'two' from some sort of shockwave blasting through it. Internal scanners didn't register any damage, but the final second of waiting was nearly too much for Kennedy to bear.

"Zero!" She shouted, her hands quickly reactivating the frame's sensors.

Kennedy's HUD lit back up, an agonizing split second later it was followed by the view of the ship. A hatch had opened up on top, revealing a gaudily painted gold frame bearing a massive shield as tall as itself. Scouring the area for targets, she realized the Stalker had been blasted to pieces.

"zz-reat shot, Crow 1!" Carina's voice filtered through the static as communications came back.

Desperately Kennedy spun her Quicksilver to take in the entire area. This was her chance, she couldn't let the others bag all the kills. Carina seemed to be having similar difficulty as her frame floated in place, while Yun was a blur of action. His rifle fired to the left, shoulder cannon swivelling over to the right to strike another target.

"This is just target practice now," He gloated, bringing his AMF in a wide arc around the Centauri craft. "Look alive you two."

"Then quit stealing all the kills!" Kennedy snapped in frustration. Every enemy blip she managed to find on radar was quickly replaced by a red X thanks to Crow 1's precise attacks. She hardly managed to make out the general designs before they were reduced to scrap metal, the only thing clear was that none of the enemies seemed able to make any move at all. Whatever Harker's surprise was, it had been effective. Glancing at their new flight lead, Kennedy saw his Magnetite taking aim at the ship. "Hold on! That's not a Mythril transport!"

"Damn, looks like their Knight was protected from the pulse." Harker's voice came across, ignoring her observation.

The golden frame had lifted off into the fray, shield held out in front of it. This was her chance, Kennedy realized. A genuine Centauri Knight, the elite frame pilots of the Confederacy. If she could take that out, her value as a pilot would be unquestioned. It could even lead to a promotion to ace, then she could bark out orders to any regular frame pilots the way this Harker jerk was doing now.

"I've got him," Yun called, his normally calm voice wavered as he moved in on the Knight's left.

"Covering you Crow 1," Carina's Quicksilver finally acted, rifle firing at the approaching enemy. The shots were true, but they couldn't get around the massive blocking shield which didn't even seem to dent under the assault.

"Backing you up!" Kennedy shouted, sweeping down opposite to Yun with her sword drawn back; intent on bisecting the Knight.

"Good, keep him occupied," Harker seemed unconcerned by the threat. "I'm taking out the ship's engines now." The massive gun on the Magnetite lit up as it locked on target.

What happened next was unbelievable to Kennedy. The Knight had gripped its shield on one side and spun like a discus thrower, launching the shield towards Harker's frame. The dual railgun apparatus pulsed as it fired, only to have the shield deflect the shot harmlessly wide as it shot past. Yun caught up with the golden frame, sword point lowered like a lance to skewer it. The Knight managed to push the blade up with one arm, which was nearly severed in the process and, still spinning, its other hand came around to grasp the Quicksilver, pulling it along. Carina had switched to using her shoulder cannon, and the powerful blast of energy was nearly dead on, only to hit Yun's frame instead, burning the head clean off. Finally Kennedy arrived within range and found herself unable to risk attacking for fear of hitting her own ally. The golden frame let go of its captive, flinging the damaged Quicksilver into Kennedy's.

"Bastard!" Any composure Harker had was long gone. "I told you to take care of him!"

"Crow 1, come in!" Kennedy shouted desperately, dragging the other frame towards some covering debris.

"Let's see you do that again without your shield," Harker was bellowing.

"-m alright." Yun's voice filtered through to Kennedy's relief, a warning alarm sounding in the background between the crackling interference on his comm. "Sensors are shot, leave me here."

"Yes sir, stay clear! We'll be back for you." Kennedy released his frame and turned towards the others. The Centauri frame was in pursuit of Harker who was keeping well ahead, while Carina desperately shot at the Knight.

"Hit him already!"

"Attention Federation pilots," A new voice broke out, over an uncoded channel. "This is Centauri Fifth Knight, Pride of Midas. Our shuttle is unarmed and carrying civilians. Cease your attack and we will leave immediately."

"That's the best you can come up with?" Retorted Harker, suddenly veering back. His Magentite's powerful hands managed to lock around Midas's damaged arm, yanking it free. "If you thought civilians had any place in a contested system, let me show you why they don't!" Ripping the arm in two, Harker jammed half of it into the rail-like gun, which again lit up as it pointed at the motionless ship.

"We were sent off course! Your sensory damaging weapon has left the shuttle without navigation as well." The Knight spoke desperately. "I will... surrender myself to you in exchange for the shuttle's safety." The golden frame moved to intercept Harker.

"You're not in any position to bargain, Cent. Surrender like a coward or die like a soldier, it's all the same to me. Your ship is what I came for, and now I have it!" Another shuddering pulse sent the mangled arm towards the shuttle.

"No!" Still too far from Harker, Midas angled into the line of fire. Its own limb tore into the frame, punching into the torso and exploding out the other side. Robbed of much of its momentum, the projectile still carried all the way to the ship, punching a sizable dent into the hull.

"Tch, idiot." Harker chuckled, to Kennedy's abhorrence. The Magnetite drifted over to the sparking wreck of the Knight's AMF, reaching out to tear its head off. "Third time's the charm." He kicked the decimated husk away, reloading his weapon with the head.

"Stop! You heard what he said, that's a civilian transport!" Kennedy angled her Quicksilver at Harker's frame.

"Are you kidding me? Look girl, I can smack some sense into you later. Whatever's on that ship is worth more than the life of a Knight and I'm damn well going to find out why." The Magnetite's cannon lit up as it prepared its next salvo. "Go watch over your pal, I'm in charge here."

"I didn't become a pilot to allow murder!" Before she could consider the consequences, Kennedy has raised her railgun. Her shot connected with Harker's contraption just as it fired. The mass driver pulsed a third time only to wrap in on itself, the two rails twisting and shattering. Shrapnel from the disintegrating weapon tore into the Magnetite, shredding the AMF's top half.

"Traitor!" Despite the damage, Harker's loud voice was as clear as ever. "I'll see you court-martialed, I'll see you SHOT for this!" His frame moved haphazardly, all the maneuvering jets on one side malfunctioning.

"I'll take her out, sir." Carina's voice was oddly steady.

"Forget her. The ship! Stop the ship!"

Frozen in her seat, Kennedy saw on her display that the Centauri craft had started moving.

"Crow 2, don't..."

"Traitors must be dealt with first," Carina's voice was cold. Her Quicksilver took aim.

"Carina, please! I couldn't let him kill innocent people," Kennedy sent her frame hurtling to the right, not quickly enough to evade the shot. The blast from the rifle hit her frame squarely in the torso, punching through the armored cockpit and narrowly missing Kennedy's own body. The shockwave jolted her against the safety restraints of her seat, knocking the wind out of her and shattering her helmet's visor. Her AMF shuddered and seemed to accelerate towards the shuttle.

"You idiot!" Harker's voice was a ragged howl. "I told you to hit the ship! They've got her! Take it out!"

Dazed, Kennedy felt another shudder as her Quicksilver settled down in the ship's small hanger.

"Make the jump!" Someone was shouting. "Bishop is secured!"

From her AMF, Carina Decker watched helplessly as the Centauri shuttle slipped into the Flow with her wingman onboard.

Nice!

I'm here.

I've had a day.

I can be on for awhile, presumably. But my stepdad's home again today, so if we could hurry, that'd be nice.

edit: Oh wait no he doesn't.

Hello Satinel.

Who's Kennedy?

Kennedy's story starts here.

edited 10th Feb '11 1:00:03 PM by Satinel

Kennedy Kennedy Kennedy Kennedy.

So what now.

But who is Kennedy?

A character, obviously.

So.

We not doing this today, or?

403 PLZ.

Hopefully we can get started.

Hopefully.

And no 403 for you.

What more do you want to know about her? She was a Federation AMF pilot in 2975 and her story is just starting. :)
