Dwan dropped to the floor after Bruta got Iska off of him. He watched as Iska pushed Bruta aside and damaged Lion a little, before dropping to the floor unconscious. He got his breath back by the time Varn had calmed down. He heard Ject's comment. "Blame the genes, not the person.", Dwan reasoned.
[QUOTE=Sega Saturn;49097614]"Nng... ah! Got it!" Yanim's eyes snapped open as she finished guiding the bomb to its target. "That did some damage!" she shouted as a plume of smoke and debris erupted from one of the arms. Rask set to work building another missile just like it, destined for the other arm.
"We've only got three of these sleds left," Rask warned as he armed the components inside. "Make them count, boss." Yanim braced herself in the cargo room and took direct control of the bomb as Rask pushed it out on a jack. Moments later, it was away.[/QUOTE]
Mini Roll[5]: As the sled was launched around the other armpit, dozens of firepower traced from hundreds of aircraft. The sled however was quickly shot down by a Crimson fighter who was just in the nick of time while it was busy getting others off its tail. A waste in other words
(wait, I'm confused, whats this a a lift? Did I miss something)
"Likewise." Replied Lion with a smile, making his torn up face look even more horrible.
He then sat down at a nearby crate and deployed two small sphere-shaped drones which began repairing him.
After some repairing of the facial structure Lion put on a new faceplate which he had gotten from his rear container unit.
He shook his head and did a variety of faces to make sure that the plate was locked on and linked to the hundreds of small servos and gears in the face.
"Now that we got that out of the way, status?" Asked Lion.
Yanim suddenly gasped for air as she lost contact with the missile unexpectedly. Her vision faded back from black- but in the interim it was as if her eyes had been plucked out, and she was badly disturbed by the sensation. "Akha... Rask, I held onto it for too long."
"Keh, got one up and ready already, boss," Rask replied with a smirk. "Nothing ever works twice, does it?"
"This is all we've got to work with, Rask," she replied, "so let's change our approach. Neasha, go even higher altitude, but close the surface distance. Close the radius to 400 meters."
"That's going to be a tight turn," Neasha warned.
"Then make it a vertical barrel roll and take us out after the bomb's away. I only need it to last for a moment."
"Understood," Neasha answered, tersely. The ship turned inward, toward the sky directly over the Daedalus while also continuing to climb. The radius of the ship's turn decreased, but due to the climb, it changed into a corkscrew maneuver, keeping G-forces consistent as the turn spooled out along the vertical axis. His feet firmly planted on the floor, Rask watched as the Daedalus became centered in the spinning landscape below. He pushed forward, taking labored breaths in the steadily thinning air, until the power jack reached the end of the tunnel and the sled fell away, instantly disappearing from view behind the ship's tail, flung loose by the centripetal force.
Yanim focused hard to understand the aerodynamics involved even as she stabilized and directed the falling missile. The high angle of attack would grant it a much higher velocity and a very short travel time. The impact of the final projectile would be much greater. There was almost no chance to maneuver; everything depended on the Crimson units not detecting the missile in the few seconds it was in flight.
Regardless, Neasha pulled out of the turn and dove for air.
"Now why you'd have to piss off the woman? First just when we thought these guys were cyborgs, now they got pregnant women fighting on the battlefield. Magical soldiers and even hulked out supersoldiers. Suddenly they're called the Crimus. What's up with that?" Ject asked.
Lion shrugged. "Whatever reason, they don't seem to know what their bosses are up to. Maybe most of them are just normal grunts."
Said Lion as he checked his rifle. "Either way, we're going through them. We have to."
"You had to kill a pregnant woman who was just kicking your ass? Right." Ject gave some contempt.
Lion got confused. "None of us killed her though? We even tried subduing hr using non-lethal means."

"A blade to the back was non-lethal means?" He pointed to Varn, "no offense bro." He added in.
"Clawing through her neck? Shooting the bitch? Those were non-lethal? I think I saw you use plasma knives about to leap on her too."
[Damien got me on that.]
"That was after we tried tackling, stunning and otherwise neutralizing her." He looked at Ject. "You expect us to lie down and die if someone attacks in full force, pregnant or not?"
"Well she did say she wasn't going to kill you, she did give you a last chance to surrender after taking some people down. That's pretty generous after killing her fiance" Ject shrugged.
"There's no such thing as generosity in combat. We gave them a chance to surrender at first, I told them that we were gonna go through them either way. Had cared the slightest about his fiance and future child he would've stepped down. He didn't."
Lion got a grim look in his face. "I'm not saying what I did was right, but it's either them or us. I've made promises and I don't break my promises." Finished Lion before walking up to Pippin to inspect his leg.
"How are you holding up?"
"Then let me ask you something just for one second. If you find something down there that's gonna change this perception, would you still keep that promise even if it meant killing all things in your path?" Ject asked him once.
Lion sighed and turned to face Ject. "We'll have to see."
"Shit, shit shit shit shit!" Pippin kicked the wall and shook his head. "We're supposed to be the good guys here, right?"
Bruta chuckled and sighed hearing Pippin. "Hate to burst your bubble, there's no good guys or bad guys in war. Ideals go in the gutter, only the victor emerges. That's history." Bruta wagered.
"Still, it's not right, we can't do things like that. Imagine the lies these people have been told. They think what they're fighting for is right, they don't know."
Lion put his hand on Pippin's shoulder. "Don't worry, when this is all over the galaxy will know the truth. I mean, the CS must've been behind the assault on the UGC council. Saw was merely framed. If that doesn't tell you anything then I don't know what else will."
Ject looked around and turned side ways, picking his nose. Once he was hidden he ate it.
Dwan's kyrios broke the fourth wall. "THREAD'S OVER", he yelled.
