Angela sighted the rifle and fired but missed swearing under her breath, "Stupid slowass MECH!!!" growling as she punched a screen getting a bit of satisfaction as it cracked and fizzled beneath her rage.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF4000">*Great job. Want to bust our navigation systems next? Or are you going to get it together so that we can get out of this thing alive?!*</span>Krato snapped to her which only made her snarl though before she could retort back alarms began to go off all through the cockpit.<br/><br/>*What's that?! What do those mean?!* Angela asked Krato as she tried to understand the readings that were streaming across the now broken screen.<br/><span style="color: #FF4000"><br/>*We have been locked on! Missiles are heading right for us!* Krato snapped at her, *You need to move us and move us now!* </span><br/><br/>Angela growled and tried to get the mech to move but realized that given her mobility she was not going to get far, *Fuck! I can't get this bucket of bolts to move!* she swore as she watched the missiles get closer and closer. *I did not think I was going to die like this...* she said softly with Krato being without words for the first time throughout their relationship. *I never got to tell him....how much...* her words cut off as she closed her eyes and braced for the impact of the missiles. Counting the last moments of her life with the beating of her heart which for some reason slowed down to an almost painful length of time to the point where she was actually frustrated it was taking so long.<br/><br/>Then just as she knew her time had come the missiles were detonated, she still got caught in the blast which caused her to go tumbling out of control. When she finally regained a bit of stability it was to someone persistently calling her name.<br/><br/><span style="color: #0040BF">"ANGELA! ANGELA! ANGELA GET YOUR ASS UP AND BACK INTO THIS FIGHT! I NEED YOU TO GET JARED AND HEAD BACK TO THE HANGER BEFORE HE KILLS HIMSELF!"</span>came Troy's voice over the com.<br/><br/>Angela groaned and focused on her screens and the data that Krato was feeding to her, shaking her head a bit to try and clear it she watched as Jared went mental on the mech that had been heading at her. The series of emotions that she then went through were rather humorous or at least it would be later when everything calmed down. First she was pleased to him taking it to one of the Children in such a violent and aggressive way, it was truly a beautiful sight to behold. However her second emotion was one of anger, rage even that Jared decides to show up very late to the party and was now recklessly about to throw his life away. He had a lot of fucking nerve!<br/><br/>Jamming the controls about till she got the Orion to be aimed and flying at Jared, pushing the damaged mech to its limits and then some as she roared in anger. The impact was fairly hard with Angela keeping up the thrusters as she tried to tear Jared from the other mech.<br/><br/>Troy was piloting her ship like it was half the size it was, the maneuvering was bordering on insane though on one was brave enough to tell her this, instead they ran about and did what they could to keep the ship in one piece and moving. When Veronica came onto the bridge several people stopped what they were doing to look at her in shock, mostly with the fact that she would actually show her face after her earlier performance. Troy did not even spare a glance in her direction as she spoke to her, "Get to the secondary controls and feed me data on clear spots and enemy positions. Then get on the com and tell your boyfriend to cool it before I shoot him down myself" she spoke with urgency and pure business in her voice, her anger seemingly being saved for later.<br/><br/>Veronica was not one to look a gifted horse in mouth so she was quick to do as ordered, she knew she was going to get chewed out later but right now she had a job to do. Getting on the com she forced a connection to the mech Jared was in, "JARED! Get a hold of yourself love! Now is not the time to lose it.....if you die.....our baby will grow up without a father..." she said to him, the rest of the crew stopping to look over at her not really believing what she was saying but they had little time to dwell on it as the enemy ship came up along side them.<br/><br/>Troy responded to the message from the other ship, "I don't want you guys dying on our behalf but we will try to hold on" she sent back before focusing once more on trying to get away from the other ship as she somehow knew it was up to something.
