Lirath - Ship Survival

[cityship]

 As the battle raged outside, those remaining aboard Stacy had their hands full preparing for the incoming flood of refugees.

Positioned near the Bleed-Gate orbiting Lirath, Stacy stood ready to receive the refugees. Ship after ship ascended as quickly as they could, some of them making a break for the Bleed-Gate itself while the smaller ships were forced to dock at Stacy, unloading their cargo of refugees before setting off again for the planet's surface again to take on more passengers.

Several small units of GIA soldiers were also sent up to help the Transmigration crew take in the massive amount of refugees, many of whom were tired, wounded, and scared. It wouldn't take long for the ship to begin filling with people.

With the battle raging outside, and the Ohm clambering outside, trying to get in, it would be a tall order to keep all of the refugees safe and calm, but the crew didn't have much choice.

"You all right?!" Allenby demanded as the guy on foot went tumbling. She flew the Dog over to cover him, firing as she went. Her eyes flicked over to the other figure at the controls--they both looked like insects themselves, compared to the Ohm and the mechs.

Corner him--well, she thought she had an idea of how to do that, but she didn't want to move 'till she knew that the spider guy was all right. Still, she had to laugh out loud when Zetta responded by starting to hurl the Ohm's own flunkies at it. "Hah!" She began to maneuver tightly, pouring in fire from as big an arc she could manage while still trying to cover Peter.

Jamie hissed in a breath through his teeth as the Geno's right-side video displays flickered and jumped. The Demon's attack had dealt some damage to the visual sensors on that side of the Zoid's head, and while she was far from impaired, her pilot's sight was compromised. He'd have to be careful - if the bug had any sense at all, it'd try to take advantage of that and attack from his weak side.

He wasn't out of this fight yet, though. Jetting toward the downed Spider-Man, keeping Allenby and her cover fire on his right, Jamie opened fire on the Demon again, this time with the intent of driving it back rather than actually hitting it.

"Keep an eye on 'im, girl," he muttered to his Zoid, hoping more that she would pick up his intent than his actual words. He wanted to be ready to shift his guns' aim as soon as the Ohm tried jumping out of his line of fire - and True Strike willing, he might actually succeed.

Jamie wasn't the only one who was hissing. Lash was hissing, cursing and doing a lot of kicking too. This was so frustrating! AS soon as she fixed something, two cables broke off. There was no way, even for her, to do something efficiently in such a short time.

Dire times required dire measures. Even overcoming one's own prejudice, in a sense.

"Hey Zetta!" Lash called out from her post, hoping that the monster was too preoccupied with the others to care about one tiny wunderkind in the corner. "Mind getting that scientist minion out of here? There's too many cables to fix!"

Unfortunately for Zetta, throwing the Assassins wasn't a bright idea. After all, the Ohm were all connected psychically, so the Demon knew exactly where all of the other Ohm were at any given time, giving it the edge to dodge just right.

Lash yelling out caught the creature's attention, as it noticed her remaining unengaged in the battle, and quickly labeling her as a non-combatant, and thus, vulnerable. Jumping around in quick, random patterns to avoid making a predictable target, it rushed passed all of the other attackers, leaping high to make a bounding strike at Lash.

Hey, the goal had just been to force the thing to dodge in the first place! Seizing the initiative and all, you know.

In a fit of what he would later call tactical genius, though it bore a suspicious resemblance to furious desperation, Zetta Invited a warehouse directly between the Demon and Lash. It crashed down from an arbitrary point above. In a perfect world he'd intercept it, but he'd settle for any result that left Lash unharmed.

Lash hadn't been watching with the Ohm was charging at her, too preoccupied at getting this damn hangar open. She didn't stare as it rushed at her, but rather jumped up for a small second as the large warehouse landed, sending wind in her direction.

"Hey! I asked for the scientist minion, not an entire warehouse!"

Being concentrated on the job had sometimes its drawbacks.

"Don't worry about me! Get the assassins! I got this thing!"

With the Demon on the move, Spider-Man began pushing himself to the limit to catch up to it, using the Warehouse's appearance as a distraction, grabbing a fallen girder on the way up and moving to intercept it, swinging the girder.

"Hey, ugly! Rule number one of fighting - don't turn away from the real threat!"

Allenby let out a sigh of relief when Zetta blocked the Ohm's path to Lash with that timely warehouse. At Spiderman's shouted assurance she finally shot after the head Ohm, pushing the mech's controls to the limits.

The Dog's machine guns spat erratic fire at any Assassins that Allenby could spot, but she wasn't concentrating on them. She just drove the Dog flat-out at the Ohm, hoping that with one wild move she could body-slam it right into Zetta's warehouse.
