Mia Martin is an American hero. There are posters of her everywhere. From hospital waiting rooms to public restrooms, you can see Mia looking poised, sexy, strong, and smart.
She’s a typical beauty. Caucasian, flaxen blonde hair, dark green eyes. She’s tall with large breasts and a body that is more muscular than most women’s. She has to be muscular; she’s protecting the country, and some might say, the world from out-of-this world threats.
Mia Martin is the first and one of the fewest mecha pilots in the U.S.A. She didn’t choose the position, but she also wouldn’t have it any other way. Mia joined the Marine Corps when she was eighteen, straight out of high school, out of pure patriotic duty. She wanted to serve her country and make a career out of it. Women are not a part of the infantry, so she was destined to a long life of sitting behind a computer. Mia was alright with this fate, however, word of her proficient video game skills landed her in a new program that only a select few were chosen for.
Five years before Mia joined the Marines, a new kind of world war kicked up. Kaiju, colossal, titanic, terrifying monsters started showing up all around the globe, mostly devastating major cities. Millitaries around the world tried their best to protect their homelands from the invaders, but they were no match for the beasts.
To fight giant monsters, humanity came up with giant weapons. Mecha suits: giant robotic suits piloted by skilled professionals who could not only fire specialized weapons designed for such enormous creatures, but could also engage in physical combat if it came down to it.
Pilots for the mecha suits were drafted from the military. People in the military had already signed up to potentially sacrifice their lives for the sake of their country’s safety. Aside from that noble trait, a pilot had to be comfortable with a joy stick.
A Louisiana lady, from the small, Southern town of Cocodrie, Mia was stationed in New Orleans and primarily protected the South. There are other mecha pilots stationed around the country, and mechas and their pilots are commonly deployed to neighboring cities to help protect whenever necessary.
Mia, being the first mecha pilot, was the most famous. Everything about the U.S. Mecha Progam was tested on her. Every system in place that developed in order to defeat the invading Kaiju began because of Mia. It didn’t hurt that she was also conventionally beautiful. Every person in America wanted to be her or be with her.

i know i'm posting about this a lot, but this is my entire life right now. my hometown has been absolutely devastated. the towns surrounding my hometown have been absolutely devastated. i'm screaming into the void in hopes of being heard because we have no coverage. i want to be very clear that new orleans suffered, yes, but they did not suffer catastrophic damage. the new orleans area is going to bounce back much faster than my hometown will. we have no water, no electricity, and absolutely no news coverage.
pay attention to anything talking about grande isle, fourchon, chauvin, dulac, dularge, bourg, houma, thibodaux, lockport, raceland, larose, cocodrie, shreiver, gray. there's so many more, i know there are, but these are the places i can think of right now.
if you want to donate, by all means donate, but look for these city names. louisiana is more than just new orleans. tens of thousands of people are dealing with catastrophic loss, and it feels like nobody is concerned about us.
we need resources, we need updates, we need something.
remember the names of those cities. look for the names of those cities when you're deciding to help. please.
“Grandfather that built it in 1914, then my father had it and now, I was third generation...”
So, this place, you said it’s been here since?
1914.
1914?
105 years old.
It was your…?
Grandfather that built it in 1914, then my father had it and now, I was third generation.
When it started off in 1914, what did it focus on? I mean, it was a store, now you have a gas station.
It was actually to supply groceries and hardware, the needs of the people that lived in the area, close proximities which was like a little community here at the time. There’s people that use to live across the water and people just lived pretty much a lot in the area, which now you see all these buildings? No one lives there. That’s all camps. That’s all summer or weekenders.
So, all temporary then?
Yes, if you remember, if you came in on 56, up the road about five miles, there is a swing draw bridge, like an s curve then there is a swing draw bridge. I am kind of in the middle. It’s about five miles till the end of the road so I am kind of set up in the middle of the two. But if you take from that bridge to the end of the road, the dead end which is about 10 miles, in that 10 miles, if you can find 20 actual resident, people that live with a mailing address that live there, you lucky.
Wow
That’s in ten miles. And you will see a thousand camps, or a thousand buildings but then no body live there. That’s not a permanent address.
What year did that change? When did you start noticing the community changing from people living here?
When I was growing up. People still lived here but not as many. But I am going to tell you I think the thing that made the big difference was coastal erosion and saltwater intrusion. For example, this place flooded in 1926 for the first time. Which is the only time that we know of, we haven’t flooded since then but at that time, there was a lot more land here. So, you was kind of like the same distance from the gulf waters but you had a lot more protection or barriers for it to cross to be able to get to here. So, the 1926 storm must have been pretty serious because a lot of people lost their lives to that bad weather. But at that time there was no warning other than watch a bird, see this bird, that mean there’s bad weather coming. Like if an albatross would show up. An albatross is a bird that stays in the gulf or the oceans but if that bird winds up flying around here, hey we got something getting ready to happen. And that’s about the only way you could tell it. Or something like that, people could tell it from signs. Now, they depend on technology. So, the main thing is coastal erosion, which causes after your coast is eroding, then you having more floods. See, like now, we gotta, which I am sure you have heard of it, it was in the news and stuff and it’s still in production, is the Morganza to the Gulf protection levee which is gonna stretch from Morgan City and it’s going to wind up in Jefferson Parish or maybe even to Plaquemines Parish. The object of it is to kinda ring off the territory to bring back hurricane protection. I am not saying grow, but just to protect what we have now or to stop losing it as fast. It’s still going to…. Well, my theory is that we will lose it, but it won’t be as fast or as quick. It’s like myself, I’ll say it today that if they did something twenty-five years ago, a major project for coastal erosion, we wouldn’t have to worry about this hurricane protection levee as of today. But if nothing is done today, twenty-five years from now, we will say well look, if they had done this twenty-five years ago, we wouldn’t be in the situation we are in now. So, something has to be done, so whatever is done, you are gonna have some pros and cons. No matter what it is. You standin right here today with me and someone is saying, he could have stepped aside, he could have walked and let me pass. Someone is always going to say something. You know, it’s opinions, everybody has one. It’s the same thing, whatever and you know that. So, what’s happened is…. when did it turn around? When I was growing up, there was still a lot of residence here. For example, I went to the school, which is now shut down, across from the swing bridge… the same bridge I was talking about. Now the school yard is filled with mud. The school which is right across this bridge when you go back up 56, that was our elementary school. When I went to school from the end of the road, them ten miles I have been talking about. There was three busloads of kids that would ride that bus that would go to that elementary school. Today, that elementary school is closed and there is not a bus that passes here. Not a school bus that pass. So, since I was going to school, there’s two schools that closed, I am talking about elementary schools closed, so that’s telling you that the people do not live here anymore. The people has gone. Now, like I said earlier, the main blame in my theory is coastal erosion because now the people that live in the area, every year they have to worry about the big floods coming in or they have been flooded so they moved away so they don’t have to worry about that anymore. What happens? Well, Cocodrie is the fishing capital of the world so it’s a lot of good fishing so people from other areas know that so they start to build their camps to fish Cocodrie. So, it’s outsiders, people from Gretna, people from New Orleans, you know, Baton Rouge, even different places like Mississippi, got people from Mississippi that has camps here. People from different parts from the general area.. not saying general area but kind of close, it’s not that far you know. Mississippi is not that far. If it was too far, they wouldn’t have a camp, they wouldn’t be able to use it. It just turned around. It began turning in the 70s… bad. When I was going to school like in the 60s. Very, very, few recreation camps unlike we have now which is more recreation than they have residence.
So, if you could go back and talk to your 18-year-old self. What is your one life lesson that you have learned that would have helped you at that stage… It’s kind of a deep question.
Yeah it is, because I had a good life at 18… (laughter) I did. I did have a good life at 18. I mean, that was actually before the drinking laws changed so you could drink, you could do whatever you want at 18. So, I mean, I had a good life. I had a car. I had good women too (laughter) cars, beer and women. (more laughter).
