Artificial War

"It all depends on how well she responds to treatment," he answered. "We will just have to see..."

That'd be great, he answered, pulling his data pad from his bag.

Once her wounds were manageable and her left pump active Nurixin started looking for a solid piece of wood to carve a new stock from.

"Ah, wonderful... I guess." Lucy looked around for something, anything to focus on.

"Nurixin.. Do you.. Do you need any help?" She asked, noticing that the smoke had stopped rising from her. She didn't doubt the android could fix herself, but Lucy desperately needed something to think about. Work was the first thing to come to mind.

"Understood. Visual access code is 3, 1, 4. Charlie, Beta, Victor. 2, 0, 8."  

[cptflint]

"Things are working properly. We can replace the wires later. The cosmetic damage is minor and can also wait," she replied as she picked up a good size chunk of wood. She sat down and started to shape the wood.

Azm punched in the code. When the feed came up he immediately started taking multiple screen shots of the robot.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"A-Alright..." Lucy sighed, looking around for any other excuse she could find.

"What are you seeing?" Niles asked, looking at Azm and his pad curiously. He would have gone over and watch over the man's shoulder, but felt it would have been rude, and awkward.

((I'll let you handle the feeds. Friends on Borderlands are whiny and demand constant attention so I can't think too well.))

Nurixin was carving the at what looked like the speed of sound. Androids were all fairly good and quick at most works of arts that already existed. To them it was a simple matter of copy and pasting, limited only by their ability to move.

Azm gave the seal a jerk of the head, inviting him over. "Don't be shy now..."

On the screen was a convoy consisting of the robot in question and the remaining androids from the destroyed facility, on a road heading west. On another window he had a map.

"From the look of things they plan on taking it back to Oklahoma city... the closest major city to the current line of scrimmage and it's a loooong way down the 40," He explained, pointing at the highway the ran through to Oklahoma. "Fortunately for us that thing isn't on wheels and doesn't go very fast. If we requisition some four wheelers we can get to this river... here," he said zooming in along the road and pointing out the spot. "We C4 it and blast it as it goes across. Simple..."

((Sounds like someone Google Mapped. emotion_awesome That's some dedication. emotion_yatta ))

Niles trotted quickly over to Azm's side, eager and curious to watch what the drone provided.

He listened quietly to Azm's plan, nodding his head once in a while to acknowledge parts of the plan.
"Sounds... Well, sound enough. But we just blew down a factory upon its head." He pointed it, gesturing his thumb in the general direction the factory was. "How can we be so sure that setting some explosives again will do the job? It didn't even look dented from this encounter."  

[cptflint]

"We can't... which is where it gets a little more complicated. We'll have to order some special rockets and a couple launchers. Hopefully a few thermite rockets too the top of it will do the trick. That stuff will burn all the way to it's feet," he explained. "Three launchers... two rockets per launcher. That should be more then enough," he added as he typed in a requisition order to command.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"And you think Command is really gonna follow through with those orders? We're kind of asking for a lot, and going on a bit of a hunch, don't you think?"  

[cptflint]

"Not really. If they give us the thermite rockets that thing won't survive," he replied. "It will... literally burn through it too it's feet and is more reliable then looking for weak points."

The requisition was sent for 2-3 launchers, 4-6 thermite rockets and 3 four wheelers in addition to standard ammo and android parts to replace the ones used on Nurixin.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"If you say so." Niles sighed, looking back at the others for a moment and noticed no serious change amongst them. Lucy had started to watch Nurixin work on the piece of wood, curious and amazed by her speed. Satisfied, he turned his attention back to the pad in Azm's hand.

"Processing your request now." There was a few minutes of silence on the other end of the radio.

"...So... After this thing is nothing but ashes blowing in the wind, what's next?"

"...Request accepted. Supplies are being gathered up, and will arrive at your current location by dusk."  

[cptflint]

Thanks command. We'll be napping...

"At that point it's what ever command want's us to do... I think I might want take a few days of leave... see Kim. Get out of the war for a bit..."

"You guys have night vision goggles right?" he asked the seals.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Sounds like a good plan, even if its a bit stupid... No offense. Kim just seemed pretty upset at the end there. She'll appreciate the visit I'm sure, but I'll be Geminoid's b***h if she admits it."

"Night vision is standard in our helmets!" Ben chirped, tapping the side of his helm.  

[cptflint]

"It's been a long time since I've had no idea what I was going to do..." he said when they mentioned Kim.

Nurixin was now smoothing out a nearly perfectly shaped wooden stock.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Maybe you shouldn't go then. The gesture is nice and all, but..." Niles shrugged, at a loss of words and planning. He had no more clue than Azm did.

"One step at a time, they'd tell us in basic training."

[cptflint]

"by the time we get back she'll be well into treatment," he replied. "And definitely due a visit."

"You worry too much," Nurixin said as she attached the new stock to the gun.
