Angela smirked at the challenge, Krato speaking on his own accord without her instructions, *You are on. Terms of this challenge?* Krato's somewhat smug voice now responded making Angela roll her eyes, *Ok Krato focus* simply saying to the AI while the last of the weapons and armor were attached to the Stalking Cat, *All systems are go, we are clear for launch* Krato told her.<br/><br/>*Alright lets make this quick...* she spoke back to her AI before she she maneuvered the Stalking Cat the launching platform, the large mechanical beast crouching down in preparation for launch.<br/><br/>"Launch in 5...4...3...2...1 Launch!" the flight crew called over her com as the platform was disengaged and the Stalking Cat was hurled out into space.<br/><br/>It only took a few moments for Krato to lock in on the targets and stabilize before igniting thrusters and powering forward toward the long range gunners. Switching on her com and opening all channels, "The Stalking Cat and I are going for the long range gunners. That still leaves the Kamis for all other pilots, though we may need some back up on the gunners.."<br/><br/>*Angela my sensors are picking up a 7th object* Krato's voice sounding concerned and confused. *A 7th? Where? How big? Is it one of the children's units?* she spoke in a rush to Krato who was already running those very scans to try and determine what it was.<br/><br/>*The energy signature is not like anything we have ever seen, it could be a new prototpye from the enemy...*<br/><br/>*Weapons...are they charging weapons or do they even have any?*<br/><br/>*It appears to be a mech of some....actually looks like the Stalking Cat....no weapons charging. It just seems to be floating there....*<br/><br/>*Try to hail it while I alert the captain*<br/><br/>Krato went about trying to get the unidentifed Mech to speak Angela relaid her findings to the captain. "Alright Angela keep me posted, we have the Mech on our sensors now too and will be trying to communicate with it as well. For now though focus on those heavy gunners, we can't let them get a clean shot off and hit us"<br/><br/>"Understood Captain" with that Angela focused back on her target that was almost within striking distance now. *Activate the rushing blades, full power to the engines* she spoke out to Krato, hearing and feeling as the blades folded forward, hearing the soft hum as they were powered up.<br/><br/><br/>Veronica swore under her breath, she was suppose to be on deck, hell she needed to be there like 5 minutes ago but here she was looking for that kid again. She needed to make sure he was safe, somewhere he could not get hurt or killed; being too important to her to be allowed to not be properly seen too.<br/><br/>Passing some crewmen as they rushed to their posts she picked up on them complaining about losing more money to that 'kid', sighing she knew who they meant. "Where are you two coming from?! Why are you not at your posts yet?!" she snapped to them using her rank as an officer to get them snap to attention as they turned to look at her.<br/><br/>"We..we were at the storage bays stowing away some extra supplies Ma'am" one responded.<br/><br/>"Well hurry your asses and get to your posts! Unless you want to die out here in space?! And with us the whole hope of the entire human race!" she continued with the pissed off officer routine.<br/><br/>"No...No...Ma'am" they both responded.<br/><br/>"Then double time it! Lets go! Move! Move!" a satisfied smile coming to her lips as she watched them rush off to the stations, basically running now to get where they were suppose to be.<br/><br/>With a location now in mind she head to the storage bay, hoping she could settle this with Nickle before she found her ass in the brig for not being at her post in the time of combat. Entering the bay she called out, "Nickle! Nickle are you here!?" her voice showing her annoyance as well as the urgency of the situation.
