Such bravery was rare, and he obviously knew what he was doing. He managed to disable the leg, though the repairs would only take a minute to complete.  "Well, well my skilled foe, I am quite impressed."<br/><br/>Roll Result: Saiko rolled: 1d2<br/>Comment: evens: enemy mech has special defensive mechanism. odds: does not.<br/>Result: 1,<br/>Total: 1<br/><br/>Annoyed at the prospect of further damage to his mech, the pilot swatted at helios, attempting to remove him from the leg joint.<br/>Roll Result: Saiko rolled: 1d20<br/>Comment: attack roll. If successful Helios is dislodged and he must make defense roll against damage.<br/>Result: 16,<br/>Total: 16<br/>(result comment: on tied rolls, the roll will generally go to the defender. If its a really important roll, the two combatants re-roll. in this case, Helios is dislodged, but takes no damage. The mech in question can not follow up with an attack though.)<br/><br/>Because Helios had damaged one of its legs, the mech was forced to rely on its thrusters to stay upright, with most of the weight on its good foot. With great care, he retreated a few feet. Out of a sense of honor, the pilot did not rise to a height which Helios could not get to him, nor did he re-engage his stealth capabilities.  Helios had shown courage and bravery, so he would fight relatively fairly against him. No weapons, no flight, and no stealth.   The man in front of him had obviously shown himself capable of damaging the mech, so he knew that if he screwed up, it could cost him the battle.  "Alright.  Let us do this, my worthy foe," with a slight spanish accent as he readied himself for the Black Knights next move. (readying defense and counterattack)<br/><br/>-----------------------------<br/>Meanwhile, the female at the other end of the comm channel remarked, "oh....not bad.  Good thing your radio is secure, otherwise you two would have been broadcasting to these invaders. Anyway, I'm relaying your coordinates to an allied sniper.  She's an independent factor, like yourself, but she seems willing to help the station out. By the way, you might want to hurry, Ty might be in trouble soon. It would appear the enemy has discovered his location and they wish to secure him.  They'll most likely be engaging the guards within a minute."<br/>While she was saying this, the image of an attractive woman appeared before Ty and winked, before dissipating. He alone heard her next words, "I have great faith in your pilot, but I find myself wondering, what will he do after this? What will YOU do, Ty?"<br/>---------------------------------------<br/>As the pip-girl was inserted into the controls, the built in map function displayed the location of Razzly's "next objective".  The same woman appeared on the screen, "hey kid. After you've rescued that soldier, would you mind doing me a favor? "<br/>-------------------------------------<br/>Tanr had just reached sector 9 and looming in front of him was his destination. The fighting had not yet reached this area, but the tension in the air indicated that everyone was on high alert.<br/>-------------------<br/>Ciel burst into the kitchen, nearly in tears. The home she had known since infancy was utterly trashed.  Lying on the floor, was her uncle. He had been pierced by one of Taichu's AM rounds.   Even from where she stood, she could tell he was no longer amongst the living. She stifled a sob.  Though her heart was being torn apart, she had to keep calm. Panic would only make things worse.  She heard something crash in her aunt and uncles bedroom.  Before she knew it, she was standing at the threshold of the room.  Like the rest of the house, it was trashed. Next to a hatch she had never seen before, her aunt was laying, clutching a pendant to her chest. "oh....thank god you're...alright....Ciel."  Each word obviously pained her, and she had what looked to be a shattered piece of wood lodged in her chest. Ciel immediately knew that her aunt's lung had been punctured, and she too was not long from this world. "Ciel....come closer," her aunt whispered.<br/>---------------------<br/>Roll Result: Saiko rolled: 1d20<br/>Comment:<br/>Result: 7,<br/>Total: 7<br/><br/>Roll Result: Saiko rolled: 1d20<br/>Comment:<br/>Result: 15,<br/>Total: 15<br/><br/>Roll Result: Saiko rolled: 1d20<br/>Comment:<br/>Result: 8,<br/>Total: 8<br/><br/>Roll Result: Saiko rolled: 1d20<br/>Comment:<br/>Result: 4,<br/>Total: 4
