OOC: Curtis really appreciates your choice. >:-D
-==IC: Bailey==-
As the Imperials ran along a cliff, the residual fuel in the underground lines ignited, causing the pipes to explode under their feet. Curtis in the Truth had the misfortune to be closest to the edge, and the mech fell from the edge. Even that wouldn’t have been a problem, but the debris had struck his rockets, damaging them and causing them to malfunction. He began to plunge into the abyss.
That was exactly what Bailey was waiting for. Before anyone else could react, she sent the StarStorm into a dive, catching the Truth in midair. The StarStorm’s own rockets weren’t enough to carry them both aloft, however, and they began to lose altitude. Both mechs hit the ground hard, but both Bailey and Curtis were mostly unharmed. She opened a channel to the rest of the squad.
“
We’re OK. Go on back to base; I’m like, pretty good with mechanics, I can like, fix it myself.”
Bailey cut all her outgoing transmissions, and focused on E.R.I.N., who was still on her screen. “
Execute Strategy Delta Theta 7,” she said.
“Are you sure, Bailey? This is technically treason.”
“
I made my choice when I let that guy overhear our transmissions. The wheels have been set in motion, and now we just have to wait for my plan to fall into place.”
“You’re gonna die, hon.”
“Probably,” she said in a much softer tone than normal. “But then again, that’s always been the case. My fate was sealed seven years ago. Now I just have to use that to my advantage.” She smiled savagely, back to her normal self. “
And then cheat death. In case you haven’t noticed, I’m pretty good at that.”
Bailey got out of the StarStorm and climbed over to Curtis, who was just crawling out of the cockpit. “
Heck of a way to introduce yourself,” she said. “
The name’s Bailey. And you are?”
