Even though Lily was able to vaguely recognize the sounds of the Bastion's engines and weapons as well as the shadow that it cast over the base, she still took a few seconds to tilt her Axman's head upwards just to confirm, perhaps feeling somewhat paranoid after the company had been caught off guard once already. Thankfully, things were as they seemed and it really was the friendly DropShip coming in for the assist, and Perkins' voice coming through the comms was only further confirmation.<br/><br/>The man was a bit too smug and obnoxious for Lily's taste, but this was definitely one of those times where little flaws like that could be overlooked and so she was very glad to see him - or at least hear him and see his ship. The enemy forces, whoever and whatever they were, retreated under the combined assault of the Mechs' and DropShip's gun before her LRMs could even rearm, so she didn't bother with the second volley.<br/><br/>Dripping with sweat from stress, adrenaline and the intense heat buildup within her cockpit, Lily piloted her machine towards the center of the airbase. She didn't really feel victorious though, at least not until hearing Walter's voice over the emergency channel, at which point she allowed herself a loud cheer and pumped her fist in celebration. Now that was a lot more like it!<br/><br/>"Likewise, boss," Lily replied to Erich's transmission cheerfully over the lance channel, her breathing still noticeably heavy. "Took some damage but nothing too hardcore, Defi had my back." With that, she trotted her machine into position at the northern edge of the base as instructed, feeling totally re-energized as she watched the perimeter while the salvaging got under way.
