[Frank is sitting at the White Chalice's bar, drinking whiskey. He is alone and quiet, but despite the somewhat somber atmosphere around him he doesn't seem to intentionally want to keep people away. Approach?]

You got a plan?

[Red Frame turns towards Frank's tiny powered armor. It's safely huddled behind cover, but Lowe would prefer to be out in the open and cut up bad guys with his sword. Too bad it's suicide in current conditions.]

We could use one right now!

Re: 3 mydutyisnotover June 29 2011, 02:27:09 UTC

The side that leaves their position first will get massacred. We can't do that. We can wait, or provoke them into moving in, but that will require a decoy.

...I can volunteer to do that that.

space_mcgyver June 29 2011, 02:30:49 UTC

What! Don't even think about dying out there, old man!

[Astray grabs something out of a secret Lowe-style compartment. It's an inflatable balloon - that quickly grows into the size and rough shape of a real mobile suit!]

Ta-dah! I "borrowed" some the other day. Here's our decoy.

mydutyisnotover June 29 2011, 02:35:19 UTC

Good job. Let's use this.

[Frank grabs the balloon and, riding under cover on his tracks, takes it to a position where it seems like the Mobile Suit has foolishly left the main group and is now alone and vulnerable. It's easy to miss a suit of power armor hiding nearby...]

[Benkei takes a seat next to Frank and gives him a friendly nod of acknowledgment before getting himself a beer.]

Any special occasion today?

Re: 1 mydutyisnotover June 29 2011, 22:17:29 UTC

One of my comrades died in the last battle. This is for him.
[Frank downs his shot and pours himself a new one.]

getter_sanity June 29 2011, 22:49:46 UTC

I'm sorry to hear that. It's always painful to lose a friend.

mydutyisnotover June 29 2011, 23:24:11 UTC

Not the first time it happened, and probably not the last time. This is a dangerous line of work.

He was a good man. I'm drinking out of respect.

[And, wordlessly, one of the cooks slides you a plate of chow mien, then sits opposite you with his own shrimp fried rice.]

Re: 1 mydutyisnotover June 30 2011, 06:45:35 UTC

Thanks.

[Drinking time stops (temporarily), eating time starts. Frank tastes the dish.]

Did you make this yourself?

Re: 1 poweredflower June 30 2011, 06:58:18 UTC

I'm one of the cooks on White Chalice. It just looked like you needed something to go with that.

(He scratches at his tattooed hand. No - not a tattoo. A nanomachine interface for pilots.)

mydutyisnotover June 30 2011, 07:11:45 UTC

I see. Though cooks usually don't have those.

[Frank gestures with his head at Akito's hand symbol.]

I meant to say that the food's very good. Especially for something made by someone so young.

My unit is a lot less fragile than it looks, sir, especially with my shield set. We need to provoke them into an attack.

Re: 3 mydutyisnotover June 30 2011, 06:47:37 UTC

Are you saying you want to be the decoy? I'd rather do that myself. I'm a much smaller target.

Re: 3 bittervictor June 30 2011, 06:59:40 UTC

Take this, then.

(He hands you a small mecha-scale buckler - no, not a bucker: a tower shield made of plasma, or something like it.)

I can give you cover fire.

mydutyisnotover June 30 2011, 07:15:43 UTC

Thanks. Hopefully it won't be needed.

[Frank grabs the weird shield. The Lupus rides on its tracks into the open, to draw enemies from their hideouts - and some are already moving in, firing from afar! Fortunately they're so far away that Frank can dodge the shots just by zig-zagging and speed alone. So far.]
