Katja grinned, her ears turning toward her fellow pilot as she spoke. “Always! Besides, drinking puts us on a mandatory 8 hours before we can fly again anyway, so you’ll still have plenty of time left to catch up on sleep, Seara!” She finished, giving a thumbs up at the other woman, before they...

Katja knew exactly where her wife was going with this, she’d already had her retort in her head when the pair were greeted by the Operator, her cheerful tone a welcome change from the last few hours, at least. The genemod returned the greeting with a nod of her head and a wave, before Arye...

“I told you to get that done after the last time, Ce. You complained to me first about the fit!” Katja replied, and she was about to say more when the announcement came over the P.A. “Thank Equus, about time we stopped standing around…” she said, unlocking her knees and turning her head...

It was a good thing horses could lock their knees to stay upright even while sleeping, something that whoever had uplifted Katja Tasvanni and her sister had kept in the process. One of the few things the Genemod was thankful for, as that particular ability had proven quite useful in her career...

Aaron snorted. “Maybe, but look around, Holly. I find it hard to believe anyone’s going to hold back here…” the Genemod started, before Holly went off taking the downed soldier to the medical wing, leaving him alone among the group nearest the Golden Band’s newest instructor.

One month from the initial attack found Aaron standing with what was left of the golden band survivors, on a particularly hot day on the parade/training grounds. And people wonder why some prefer space…. At least this group looked more like an actual fighting force than the sorry mess that had...

Aaron was studying his replacement arm, finally having the adjustments to it mostly tweaked, thanks to having searched out and downloaded the programming software to his pad earlier. He was rather impressed, even being told what the replacement was supposed to be, but the genemod hadn’t quite...

“300 years? Guess you could make quite a few contacts in that time. Especially if you’re running as a merc for that long” Aaron replied, sparing a glance at the man in charge. That was a great expense he was incurring, and it appeared he didn’t care in the least. So that was something. “Still...

“…..if I’d ‘Ave know what was up, I’d ‘Ave just stayed in prison!” James, another “volunteer” convict finished, his words eliciting grins and some gruff acknowledgments from the few penal batillion survivors gathered around, Aaron included among them. “Can’t quite argue that, but I figure...

“…..ojan 3, Trojan 3, do you copy?” The genemod awoke, the grey tunnel vision finally fading, as Aaron raised his head, shaking off the last of unconsciousness. He took in the blood spattered, cracked status display, wondering for a moment what had happened, before a sharp pain in his right...

Even through the auto dimming of the viewports, those facing the blast that was formerly Mech Sierra were overwhelmed, forcing Aaron to shield his eyes with a hand for a moment. The bright flash dimming, he briefly took in the sight of the anti armor turret he’d targeted explode, though his...

“Again, Request immediate suppor-“ The voice cut off as Aaron turned comms to their squad channel. The infantry requests for their support started from almost the moment they dropped, almost overwhelming the combined channel. It wasn’t that the Genemod didn’t want to help them however, as the...

“Yep, guess we should” Aaron replied, giving Dolly a grin and a wave as the pair parted. “If you do, here’s hoping I’ll still have all the bits I landed with!” He joked, before making his own way to the mech bay and whatever lay beyond.

“Aaron. Seems we’re all stuck in this cluster togther, eh Dolly?” The horseman replied, grinning. The Genemod was about to say more when one of the soldiers tuned into the radio chatter. What followed was the usual. A sobering reminder of what faced them all. After the broadcast was silenced, he...

Medusa Expanse- Sanctuary System "I hate these snoop and scoot missions" "With you, they're scout and pout missions" "Cut the chatter Talons. Talon 4 it's your show" "Copy Talon lead. Deploying sensor pods" Talon 4 replied, then deployed the prototype sensor pods mounted on the hardpoints of...
