<div align="center">Month 2, Day 4<br/><br/>Hashieda Hachi:</div><br/>Hachi had been called up for his second match of the season. The mechanic couldn’t help but laugh at the idea granted he’d been busy lately and had cash to burn. He believed that this could be fun and thus was rolling out in his jeep to get to the hanger where the Aurius was being held. He was humming along with the music playing from the radio he had it set on some old station that played music that was rarely listened to anymore. He was a fan of classics. Soon enough he arrived at the hanger and was prepared climbed up into the mech with a lazy grin on his face.<br/><br/>He sat staring at the control panels of the machine running a diagnostic over the systems. He was satisfied that everything was in working order. Soon the massive machine was rolling out of the hanger. This time around it was a desert field with some tall rocks that had been carved into spires.  His opponent was a slender young woman with reddish brown hair and bright blue eyes. She seemed like the type who was only in this because she liked the fights. Her name was Cheyanne Hillshire. Her machine was a strange one It looked like it was built with some thick armor and stood on two legs. It’s back had four very powerful looking cannons. Both arms looked they were comprised of heavy artillery guns.  Over the NETCOM he remarked “My it looks like ya got quite the bombardment type se there” he was chuckling as he spoke figuring himself to be in a spot of trouble. The girls reply was simple “Thanks that machine of yours looks simple doesn’t it?”<br/>The two would be pitted in a match of maneuvers and bombardments. Hachi tried firing his auto-cannons at his opponent. The damage dealt was minimal which of course he’d figured.  She returned fire with the heavy arm cannons he was quick to dodge those because he was sure they would slam into his mech causing heavy armor damage. He swiftly moved towards her firing off another barrage with the auto cannons. She was moving to dodge this time though her mech was slow. The squat machine took some hits but not all of them. She opened fire again Hachi of course barely managed to dodge the shot. He knew that she was going to put up one hell of a resistance. He didn’t want to use the beam cannon yet so he thought up a new idea.<br/>He opened up one of the missile pods on the torso and fired a barrage of eighteen missiles at her. She was quick to respond by setting the machine into a locked position. The Massive cannons on it’s back opened fire. Hachi hadn’t expected the four cannons to create a powerful enough barrage to stop most of his missiles. Only eight of them managed to connect. Just those eight appeared to be effective though as her machine was unanchored and teetering back.  However she quickly re-anchored and fired at him. He didn’t have the time to dodge and took the full salvo. Aurius took heavy damage to the hull but was still able to move for now.<br/><br/>Over NETCOM he remarked “Well dern that un hurt” his opponent chuckled “well It was supposed to you know?”  Hachi grinned “well yeah I guess so cheyanne that there machine o yers is perty tough”  and so he sped towards her again she barely had time to open fire his ability to dodge it at this close range however was quite uncanny. He then fired the beam cannon out of its mouth on her machine from the side dealing heavy damage to it. Her machine was sent spinning after that blow which had totally caught her off guard. She barely managed to get back up before another barrage of missiles slammed around her. She sighed and opened fire once more.<br/>Hachi Detached the large thrusters attached to the bottom of his mech causing them to explode. This had forced the Aurius up into the air and over the volley that had just been fired at him. “HEY THAT’S CHEATING” Cheyanne yelled over the com causing him to laugh “alls fair in love an war sweet’eart” he teased lightly. She then charged forward in frustration not bothering to anchor herself she fired another volley from the four back cannons now hachi hadn’t been prepared for her to assault him while flying so this blow was the end of the match. Hachi’s machine spiraled to the ground smoking after that shot. “Owww…….ya got me with that ‘un ya did” he remarked.<br/><br/>He was now in the hanger doing work to repair the Aurius “well ma gal it looks like today was a heap o fun no?” though the machine didn’t respond he chuckled to himself again. Cheyanne approached him with a faint smile “today was fun Mr. Hashieda I hope we can be friends?” Hachi turned to her and smiled “sure thin after all it’s just a sport not like it’s any reason ta really hate someone right?” she nodded and bid him farewell for the time being.<br/><br/><div align="center">Illyria:</div><br/>The silver haired young woman was again in her gardens doing work. She still couldn’t believe that she was going to be going on a date with montressor soon. She felt nervous and excited about it so being in the garden really helped to ease her nerves. It had surprised her that things had gone so well and she was glad the masked man had actually asked her out like this. Of course she was telling herself not to think too much on it. They were just friends and nothing more she didn’t want to hurt herself by thinking it could be anything more than that.<br/><br/><div align="center">Marcus:</div><br/>The calm and collected Marcus was working as a waiter at the local café<em>Ferris Fenrar</em>which was a notorious date location. He was good at his job and quite popular as a waiter. The locals loved him. “Good afternoon how may I be of service?” he asked a young couple with a smile. The two grinned and made their order. Marcus actually enjoyed this kind of work because he loved seeing how people were when they were relaxed. He thought this was the best kind of atmosphere.<br/><br/><div align="center">Karen M. Lambert: </div><br/><br/>Karen had been told to move the Grandveil into an empty space in one of the hangers. Once she moved it in she hadn’t expected to see any other machines or pilots present. She found the Reptilian machine to be quite interesting. The man working on it caught her eye as well. She climbed out of the granveil. She was still wearing her lab coat over her usual gear and the dog ears on her head stuck up simply because that’s how they were designed on the headband. “Hello there” she called in a distinctly British accent. This man seemed to be in a rather messy state at the moment probably having just finished repairs to the machine behind him. She thought this look was rather amusing too. She being a technician had nothing against the greasy appearance. She was also holding a bottle of whiskey that she’d had stored away in a cooler that had been in the grandveil.<br/>
