Welcome to Gaia! ::

Asuka, still eternally confused by this was the second in the air, followed by Kayako who had once again been forced to drag Gray's wacky LFO by her mech's chains. Honestly, that boy could pick some very annoying times to do things. First he loses it...then he pretty much confesses his love for Kayako while they're planning an attack. Geez, some group THIS was!

"Okay. Tolly's is about a day away. If we're quick, we can make it in six hours or less!"

With that, Senturi did it's routine of shooting forwards on the trapar quickly, skimming past Jenny and into the distance. Luckily Mercury was positioned to glide along behind it, otherwise the trapar would've torn it apart at these speeds.

"Medri...." came a voice from the commlink "....She's completely out of her mind, isn't she?"

(((I ain't no addict BOI! xd )))

"What?? I told you to mask radar, I'll just go around 'em if I see 'em!"

Hm. Maybe she really did have no mind. But then again, maybe she was just being her normal over-zealous self. Kayako never had been one to waste time, especially when someone was in danger. Sure, she goofed off alot, broke things and tormented certain blue-haired males, but she did have some small sense of urgency.

"C'mon, Silence is at least TRYING to keep up, and it's got a hole in it!"

Or...perhaps not. Oh well, what did a living weapon need a brain for anyways?

He did as he was told and took off and flew in the middle and kept his mouth shut and flew behide Medri, he barly heard anything as they flew, he open a com-link to Medri if he didn't close any." hey Medri, who's Tolly?" He was wondering."

He nodded and closed the link, and let his mind wonder a little but he kept his ear's open incase of a attack or some one radio him.."

(first we must set.... da mood)

Down in the MAT facility Tolly had been working hard. There was a flashlight in his hand.

The loud pop had been the sound of the main circuit breakers all tripping at the same time.

Someone from the construction crew had over loaded the circuits and instead of using less tools, they had decided to hook up to the back up generators.

The end result had been a power loss that had lasted for over three hours. In the dark it had taken time to disconnect the backup generator, disconnect the overwhelming number or power tools and reset the breakers.

Tolly was tired and tempers had run high. At first everyone had thought it a joke. However, after the first hour with no light and no air conditioning, they had become edgy and mean.

With power finally restored the owner of the facility had turned off his flashlight and headed outside to smoke and calm his nerves. "Of all the shops and facilities in my corporation. This one has got to be the biggest pain in my a**." he thought.

Out loud all he said was,"I need a vacation." and stomped out the cigarette he was smoking.

"Sir?" a voice said on his radio.

Looking to his belt he wonder which radio it had come from. Three hung there. One for the Trigga facility, one for the comms room here in Del Cielo's and the third was for the main office in the capital.

"Mr Marcius?" the voice said again.

"Must be Trigga," he thought and picked up that one. "Yes, Marcius here."

After a moment the voice came back again,"This is Sherlock sir, I just wanted to let you know... We've received the first of your shipments. I've set them in storage. The second and third have been ordered and we expect them to arrive within the week."

"Good, I'll be sending the project folder to Garrison. Let him know that once the contract enters Trigga's hands it will be up to him to finish it."

"Understood sir." the voice responded and went quiet.

Tolly knew the work was being rushed here. Once MAT-Trigga received it they would have to fix alot of screw ups. It couldn't be helped though. Del Cielo's just wasn't the place it had once been.

As his mind went down the road to the past, Tolly seemed to be filled with memories. Lilly's face came to him then. He remembered bringing her here when it had still been only a dream. She had laughed and encouraged him to stay with the military.

"They always have the best people and you wouldn't have to worry about sales. Come on Toity, forget this pipedream about helping the city-states and transfer to Warusawa with me. You can help with the new KLF they want to create."

It seemed like ages since he had heard her say that. Back when Topher was only a dream.

Tolly shook his head, the night air was warm and it didn't help. Staring at the sky he waited. Waited for something new to clear his mind.

Tolly would as well see Twlight and the rest of the group. He circled around as medri landed then he lined up for his, the control tower squicked into his ear." Okay kid bring her in easy." He brought Twlight in as soft as possible, he rolled up next to Medri's Lfo and got out and walked over to them both." Hello sir."

Sparks flew by Quinn Donovan's face as he blowtorched a wall panel into place. He preferred working without a face shield, enjoying the feeling of heat coming off the melting metal. This particular piece of metal, which pointed straight to the bridge, was branded with an official looking "67" on its side, along with a small, spiffy green arrow cuddling the bottom of the numbers.

His arm drew across his sweat-covered forehead as he sighed. It had been a long day.

It's been a long day, echoed his mind. He rested his behind on the carpeted floor and took a swig from his water bottle. How much longer am I going to be stuck working here...? These people are slavedrivers.
