Lirath - The Coming Storm

 After receiving the warning the Tapestry had provided them, along the order to begin preparations from Councillor Kang, the crew had been getting ready for upcoming combat with the Ohm.

Unfortunately, the rather vague nature of the warning they received meant they had no particular way of knowing exactly when this battle would occur. Understandably, this put some of the crew on edge, but at the very least they had some prior warning that they would be facing the Ohm, rather than being thrown blind into such a dangerous situation. Combat drills, vehicle maintenance and armory inspections seemed to be regular sights for the week or so following Kang's message. Not much time to prepare, but the crew worked with what was given to them.

Eventually, however, the call came.

||Alert, Alert,|| Stacy called out throughout the ship, ||Priority One message from GIA High Command. All crew members please report to the Obs Deck. Repeat, Priority One message from GIA High Command, All crew members please report to the Obs Deck...||

Stacy kept repeating the message over and over until the crew began making their way towards the Obs Deck to receive the message.

[ooc: As implied by the post, we're assuming the crew's ICly had a one-to-two week heads-up about the battle. It was supposed to be played out, but RL timing prevented this from working out. Feel free to come up with the details of your character's preparations on your own

Also, as usual, please wait for subthreads to go up before tagging in.

Edit: It's up! Feel free to start tagging in!]

Maybe a pat on the shoulder or a hug can suffice, Morgan.

"Alright, I hope I can do something useful." Rarity replied as she waited amongst the crowd.

"I learned to by grim necessity," he said. "The hard part for me was always holding too much in reserve..."

"Let's make a promise right here and now. Whatever may happen here, we come out of it in one piece and together," Hoshi suggested, a warm smile on her lips.

"And, I'll do my best to keep up with you two. I've been training with my Nazca Memory against dopants and Riders alike in the Sensoriums, so I should be good to go."

She had her hand stuck out, in a way to solidify their 'promise.'

Well, forgive him, but he hasn't quite figured out that ponies do that sort of thing -- he's used to the rather nonintelligent ones, after all -- and he's afraid of being misinterpreted or condescending. More the latter than anything; Morgan very much doesn't want to come off at any point as the smug superior human condescending to the lesser creature.

He'll figure it all out eventually.

"Sometimes the most important thing isn't to do something amazing, but just to do what you can, no matter what you're facing," he said.

"The benefit of my limited repertoire is that I simply have to budget force and resources that give me more force," Signum comments. "It must be far more complex for you, now that I think about it."

Oh, younglings.

Nehaalista turned her attention back to Nokosi. [Do not make that face. If we are able to rout them, I will certain come make sure you are not pummeled.] She patted his shoulder affectionately.

Lash was thankful that the merchant minions could run the store. It had given her much more time to prepare for this. There were the goggles she had traded of Ronnae hanging in her head, separating her hair in an odd manner. Her usual coat was filled with gadgets and weapons of all sorts, yet easy to remove should she need a reason to separate herself for it.

The wunderkind was used to this type of atmosphere, and while she'd never admit it openly, the feeling of dread, fear and the unknown always got her excited. Death had a tenancy to hover close by repeatedly and then just pass over her; so she usually ignored things like safety and just let herself get lost in the battle.

Yet there was some odd feeling about this battle. Maybe it was just for how long they'd been warned about it. Regardless, she crossed her arms and waited for the orders, or others to talk to her.

Shoutarou reached over, flopping his hand over Hoshi's. "I definitely plan on coming back." He nods at the girl. "Just do what you're able. Don't do anything we wouldn't do."

"While true to a certain extent, I can compensate with my vast horde of enchanted items. I keep several offensive spells in wand form, these staffs are remarkably versatile if themed, and most of the spells I know I have at least one scroll of, allowing me to cast them. And potions."

On that thought, he frowned. "And damn if I shouldn't have made more of those."

[identity profile] brustriese.livejournal.com 2011-08-17 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, too late to worry about that now. You're plenty prepared, just don't drop anything."

She looks around at the crowd milling. "I think the briefing's about to start."

"You two. Take care of yourselves." said Philip, placing his hand on theirs.

[identity profile] for-magic.livejournal.com 2011-08-17 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
He nodded, still a bit bothered. He didn't worry for himself... he worried for the people he was with.

Hopefully no one would come to harm that a potion of strength or invisibility couldn't have prevented.

"I will. I have people I need to protect and to come home to," Hoshi said while a little chuckle came out at Shoutarou's words.

"Which is pretty much do what feels right, even if it's reckless, eh?" she joked, grinning more as she moved her arm backwards after both of their hands were on top of her own.

"Well, work for is a rather strong word," Wheatley said. "A bit more accurate would be indentured servitude without possibility of escape, that'd be a bit more descriptive."

Chell appeared to consider those words carefully for a moment, as if thinking of a better way to put it.

There wasn't, and she shrugged, nodding slightly in agreement.

He frowned; what kind of company was this? Well... technically, he himself was company property, but.

"So you were still prisoners when you were brought aboard? How do you like your new warden?" He was referring to Stacy, of course, although he wasn't particularly fond of GLaDOS, either.

"Ready to bash some heads in?" Zouichi looked like he was pretty ready; he was carrying his coil rifle in collapsed form, along with a few extras he was bringing along for the ride. Howard had sort of sideeyed him for bringing the rifle along last time, but he'd ended up needing it after all, so ha.

"Nice goggles."

Zouichi spotted Satellizer, waving to her from amongst the rest of the crowd. "Hey. You look ready to go."

Re: Arrivals

Satella looked towards Zouichi and gave him a respectful nod, "I'm used to being prepared for any emergency. That's how they trained us at Genetics."

He nodded in return. "Well, I'm sure you'll be needing that training, considering the kind of warning we got. I don't think I've ever been on a mission that required everyone on the ship to be present. Maybe Gondeptil, but that wasn't really combat-oriented..."

"I would hope so, I don't plan to lose to anyone. Not the Ohm, or anything else that stands in my way." her voice set and strong, gripping her Nova Blood tightly in her hand as she readied herself for combat.

"I couldn't agree more. If I don't spot you on the battlefield, then good luck."

Re: Arrivals

[identity profile] aphephobiaqueen.livejournal.com 2011-08-19 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"Same to you as well. Best of luck out there." With that, Satella bowed respectfully before turning her attention to the task at hand.

"Oh not just bash heads," Lash argued, her mood switching right back once she pushed her worries away. "I'll make them explode too, tee hee hee!"

"Thanks." She moved them a bit before adding, "nice coil rifle."

"Thanks. I used it to blow up stuff on Galilee." His tone suggested that the explosions had been (a)rather satisfying and that (b)the people on the receiving end had totally deserved it.

"So did you get chewed out by the Captain about that? I think I forgot to ask before."
