Keira wasn't entirely sure<em>what</em>her mech was up to at this point. Being a firm believer in fate, and reincarnation and spiritual stuff, she had come to the overwhelming conclusion her mech had a spirit and that was a the spirit of a very very stubborn person. Tinkering with an electronic machine, let alone a machine built to kill, was not exactly a standard hobby of most. Then again, Keira was far from standard. Happy one minute, blowing a hole the size of a space cruiser the next in someones back yard. She considered herself layered, or just kind of odd, either way this wasn't a good idea.<br/><br/>Bad ideas to Keira were like her happiness to others. An oddity, something that just begged to be overcome. People always tried to get her to break, snap, go nuts and start throwing pans around. It never happened, a playful noogie or punch to the shoulder later and she was giggling like there was not a war going on. But her mech, she had a few other ideas. "<strong>C'mon baby, work for mommy....GAH!</strong>" Keira jolted back as a bright burst of electricity burst out from some of the wires sending a burst of numbness and fire up her wrists and into her elbows. "<strong>cheynecheyita!(Dang it)!</strong>" Keira hissed. It amazed Keira how she returned so quickly to her native language, even though she really never spoke it and didn't even have the accent most people from her ethnic background did. Like normal, her temper seemed to just disappear as she bit her lip and looked her mech up and down before walking towards it and wrapping her arms around one of the control panels half off where she was working, pressing herself against it and quickly pressing the startup button.<br/><br/>The mech quickly kicked to life and the cockpit lit up with activity. A bright smile on her face, Keira took a bow and gave herself a half hearted clap before closing the control panel shut and switching her mech off. It was the second time this week her wiring system shorted out, normally that could be fixed but there was no mechanic team and not exactly a lot of spare parts. Now that was not to say scavenger Keira, as her former CO's popularly dubbed her, could not find a replacement, it was amazing what destroyed enemy mechs could still hold. Now the only thing necessary was finding the time to fix up her mech. Properply. "<strong>Thank you!</strong>" Keira finally shouted as she walked across the hangar and into the barracks.<br/><br/>*****Later*****<br/><br/>Keira simply smiled up at her new CO across a little bit of the room as her name was mentioned. For Keira, combat was always a clear cut thing. She was driven, but not ...okay she was actually more crazy than driven, but she extremely driven and really can't get crazier unless she fixed a suicide nuke to her mech, though the nuke idea did some in handy. Those things were obnoxiously big and easy to see, quite scary for the other side. "<strong>Thank you sir...</strong>" Keira brightly replied, putting on a semi-true bigger than life smile as she shifted in her seat slightly. Nothing makes a fun boom more than an overpowered generator, especially the ones the enemy use. I mean, yes sure, they power a lot of stuff but if they blow, they really blow.<br/><br/>As for the situation now, Keira was cautious but none the less her usual happy self. It was mostly all business, except trying to avoid listening to bad singing over the comms net, or at least trying to figure out what was going on so she could join in. Never happened, she liked music without...well, that stuff. Too hostile, odd for a girl who pilots a mech with big machineguns on it, but Keira is a complicated entity. "<strong>Uhm, well..I kind of have a question.</strong>" Keira bit her lip slightly. "<strong>When are we getting that karaoke machine? I know I know I bring it up all the time, but you said you'd ask..uh..sir. And they..uh, command I mean, haven't replied!</strong>" Keira shot her hands up in the air. Suddenly she heard a loud explosion near by, and Keira bit her lip. "<strong>Um...also, I think our new friend is here...maybe SHE has the karaoke machine!</strong>" Keira smirked.
