I know Pary-Zegh pretty well, she's a tall strong Gauthian the voice sounds about right too . . . still I have to be sure "raise your visor I need to see your face"

the person that might be Pary-Zegh pauses then responds flatly "you're getting distracted Oken, we need to go to the bridge" I see her looming over me, dominant in her power suit, what I wouldn't give to break who ever it is.


Oken-
A) -Knows that she is weak and submits to the order
B) -Will die fighting and never surrender!

B. BOIL OVER WITH RAGE

>>977782
A. Do not think, just execute orders!

B. I'LL DIE STANDING LOYAL RATHER THAN LIVE WALKING WITH A TRAITOR!

Oken needed a chance to ambush her.

Oken just gave away that she was suspicious, and thus the only course of action is to die swinging that mace and hope to bring your foe a little pain. It's better than the inevitable laser shot in the back once whatever purpose they have for you is served.

Never give up! Never surrender! Go for the wounded side!

Sigh... Why does she have to do this difficult? We are not asking something unreasonable.
You know what fine, let's keep going. I going with A. At least have your eyes and ears on her. Even if we are right in our suspicions, she is in power armor, we are in a disadvantage. We need to find a better position to strike or get away from her if everything goes south.
Just keep boiling your blood... For now. You should ask for a promotion after this.

Begin humping the power suit. While she's startled, bash the helmet in.

>>977782
B and also >>977786 that's a cool line. Use it.

Their purpose is to get Oken to take the ship to the Vin-Malor Shipyards, or perhaps to just reveal where those shipyards are.

Are the Vin-Malor Shipyards a secret location? Do they require passcodes that Oken would know to approach?
Or is this just a matter of Oken's expertise as an Ace Pilot being needed?

Astranian combat suits probably have onboard drugs for allowing a hurt fighter to keep moving and fighting. Would such drugs affect Pary-Zegh's judgement and ability to be emotive?

I think this is Pary-Zegh and that they are just drugged to the gills and trying to make the best of a bad situation.

A. Submit to the chain of command.

"I'LL DIE STANDING LOYAL RATHER THAN LIVE WALKING WITH A TRAITOR!" I scream

I keep screaming

I feel a small part of my try to maintain control

but there's no point

I will die here

but I won't make it easy

I won't let them control me

I give in to the fury

the enemy is saying words but I don't hear them

I'm still screaming

there are stars in the sky

a mirror shatters

>>983293
See the face of your target before you strike it. Make sure.

Spit into the face of your foe before you kill them! Give them no quarter!

OK GOOD, NOW TRY TO LOOK AT THEIR FACE AND CONFIRM IDENTITY BEFORE WE DO SOMETHING IRREVERSIBLE. TRY REALLY REALLY HARD.

Don’t hesitate like the traitor did. Hesitation is death.
...How was that armor going to protect either of you if a tiny deer can smash it in?

>>983315
I think a solid chunk of the defence is from it having shield projectors. If they were, say, non-operational cause they were hit with something like a 'shieldbreaker rifle' and the suit is now being used by said assassin, the glass dome is probably just that.

I hesitate
a part of me is filled with doubt
that doubt hold back my fury for an instant
my thoughts flow back to me and my vision clears
I need to know I'm not making a mistake
I need to see the face of who I'm attacking

But there is no face, only the harsh glow from a robot's screen.
it's taken the time I've given it to draw a gun from a compartment on it's leg
the laser gun is aimed at my head
in a tinny voice that still resembles Pary-Zegh it speaks "OBEY OR DIE."

>>983337
Fuck. This. Shit.

Lunge to the ground and try to drive your mace into the back of one of its knees to hamper its mobility. Your stature compared to this power armored robot is giving you WAY more clearance to move than you think.

>>983338
this, cripple it so it can't train its gun on us

Ok, you are good to go to smash this thing. Go low, hit a knee and force it to kneel, then target the head.

>>983315
That morningstar probably has some sort of tech that allows it to penetrate (vibration, or something, idk). They wouldn't use them if they weren't effective.

Dodge right, go for the face. If you survive, take this lesson to heart: Disloyalty is the only evidence you need to cast judgment.

>>983351
What does this even mean exactly? I mean, in this case nobody was even disloyal cuz it is a robot. Also, fanaticism isn't necessarily good. Critical thinking is a virtue. Only be loyal to those who deserve our loyalty. That being said, our faction currently deserves it.

You already chose DIE, now make it the thing that dies instead of you. Move and swing at once, and don't stop swinging until it stops moving.

>>983338
Seconding this, you're not gonna be able to just beat it with brute force, be smart and cripple it.

Vomit into its optics.

I charge! going for the legs

I don't make it a step before the combat machine bludgeons me with it's gun

hard metal slams into my cheek and I tumble

I hit the ground, crushing weight weight pins me as the robot steps on me

so much pain, can't breath

a com-channel crackles to life,

the machine speaks into it "Pary-Zegh. this is Aim-Lock. The pilot knows I am not you. it has become hostile and dangerous."

a second voice speaks out "Killed it, it'll still serve its purpose for at least ten minutes"

"Understood" the machine responds as it levels its pistol

"No!" I manage to cough from my empty lungs as I ram my mace into the robot's knee

burning plasma flashes right by my head

I take in a breath

You'll want to get behind it, through its legs, and attack as it turns towards you. Try to hit its optics.

Go for the exposed electronics. It's gotta have those somewhere.

Hah, knew that bitch was full of shit. Should've crushed her when you had the chance.

>>991561
Why let it face you?
Stay to its rear, where it'll be tough for it to lethally assault you.

It can probably swing around pretty quickly. Staying behind would be nice, but with a damaged knee and possible damage to its power lines, it probably lacks endurance. If you can just get out of its line of sight, running away might be the best option.

Isn't it funny Oken, that every time you've had the urge to kill someone so far it was the absolute right move?

Maybe they were always full of shit about binders lash.

Aim-Lock tries to report "Pary-Zegh. the target-"

I dive between it's legs

"-is resisting, I can't-" the robot continues

a blade narrowly misses my leg

"-hold a lock" the robots words are fast

I go for the head,
it bats away my mace with it's pistol.

"-require support!"the robot's words are too fast to respond

A blast errupts behind me I can't get away

"clarify! what is-" Pary-Zegh tries to cut it

Can't think. I just swing, crushing the mace into it's other leg

"Heavy Damage, Left leg!" Aim-Lock reports

wobbling the robot movies to stab me

Neutral backstep, position carefully, charge attack in the nuts. Shoot through the hole.

>>1099030
Quickly move around it towards the gun-side, sticking as close as possible. When it swings spring back-blade side and crush the forearm, from there the machine is helpless as long as you stay near it and on the blade-side.

>>1099034
This!

>>1099034
Agreed.
Close maneuvers and precise targetting of stress points.
Calm under pressure.
Very much in your flight lane.

Get on it's back.

Crush it's arms.

Then swing at it's head until it stops moving. Swing until it's a pile of scrap. Swing until you feel that rage that's building inside you since long before this twat attacked you subside.

"-happening! repeat" Pary-Zegh voice crackles from the radio

I step back to avoid a sword strike and swing for the arm.
the metal in the are squeals and twists, disarming the robot.

"Heavy Damage, right arm!" Aim-Lock reports

Finish up with the left arm, then retreat. Find an area with minimal tech, it might be capable of hacking smart objects!

Might be time to go for the kill, assuming you can avoid getting shot while doing so.

>>1099559
Yes.
Complete operation disarmament and then get a distance to breathe.
Maybe see if you can spy a leg vulnerability while you recover

>>1099559

FINISH HIM

You can't slow down, or stop, or hesitate. The only thing keeping you alive is the next swing of that mace keeping the damned machine off balance.

That's ok, because you love thrashing it to bits, the only ounce of joy you can remember right now is how good it felt feeling that things ankle crunch.

I'm betting it'd feel amazing to see it's head crunch and turn into a pile of splintered circuitry. That would probably heal all the wounds and make things seem positively rosy again. Just don't slow down, for even a second.
