ugh god. you should ask her, she'll probably do it.

oh shit that's actually your location.. uh.. Cory says that'd take 3 months to get there... i like hot women but 3 months is a damn long time

but you better ask that woman to shot-put you, it'll be great

Just walked by a woman suited up in one of those IPS-N frames. The small one with the really sexy shotguns. Not sure why she was suited in the station, but I am deeply aroused.

calibans are just objectively hot as hell.

especially when piloted by a hot butch...

~♡ CB and I went shopping yesterday, and I bought so much new clothing~

~♡ No one on this station is ready for how mignonne et jolie I will look. No one. Do you know how many awkward lesbians there are aboard? They will faint~

~♡ I guarantee within two days someone will be feeding me grapes as another fans me~

~♡ I have never felt so wonderful~

ATHENA says everything is alright too so yay! seems like everything’s all patched up and there’s no lasting damage or degradation so hooray!

apparently even Liza’s Tortuga looks nice again, she’ll have to redo the paint but that’s alright!

oh i’m so excited to get back to it, i’ve done a lot of thinking and.. and that sucked. that sucked a whole lot.

a whole lot…

but she’s safe and she didn’t get hurt and i protected her!! that’s my job is to protect people! so im going to keep doing that!!

I do not understand the appeal of many biotic components in mech engineering. It is far more difficult to grow organic material into the precise specifications needed, and it is too variable. If you must have the aesthetic of meat, synthmuscle and synthskin exist.

There are exceptions to every rule, the FA/DE Cloak among them, but the nature of exceptions is that they are rare and specific.

:( fair enough though can't blame you..

she's so hot to me...

such a boygirl girlboy butch..

I think the Manticore is a kind of femme too..

they should kiss. the mechs but i guess the pilots too.

will you at least admit she's hot even if she's not meat?

look at her! she deserves to be called weirdly appealing!!

okay now what are your thoughts on the white witch? cause even if it's not a biomech some of that iron gotta be from civvies or red pilots.. sooo?

there's no bio-fuckery or meat on that one but like that's bits of a guy

[the lens looks down on a woman who looks to be in her late 20s, light brown skin with warm undertones, by contrast her expression is cold and her arms are crossed. Her black hair comes down just below her shoulders in something akin to a wolf-cut, clear done herself. The woman appears to be wearing a standard issue ISP-N light hardsuit.]

[An older woman with a shaved head dressed in sweatpants and the top half of a mechanic's jumpsuit walks in from side frame and stands beside Thebe for nearly a full minute before talking.]

you know [a sharp intake of breath, Thebe wheels around hands rising for second before they come to rest tentatively on her hips]

[the older woman laughs, there's a smile in her voice] i've been watching you watch that doe eyed girl since you got off your ship...

ya. what's it to you?

[she laughs again] she yours?

[her composure crumbles] well- uh we're squamates- went to Carina together- we're not like- but she's not-!

you're cute.. don't worry hun i'm already claimed [the older woman gently tugs on the ring of a sleek black collar pulling it into view]

[Thebe sounds shocked and maybe in awe] is that a fucking- collar?sorry sorry uh. rude to ask.

you're alright you're alright.. name's Oleander, Ollie to you though. [Oleander looks out of frame where Thebe was looking before returning her gaze]

Callsign's Neutron, but Thebe if you'd like.. Oleander?

[Thebe looks Oleander up and down then looks away maybe a bit too quickly]

Ya that's right. [Oleander chuckles] oh don't worry hun, not armed.. if that's what you were looking for?

[a slight blush creeps up her cheeks] Uh ya. okay good.. just. old instinct I suppose? your name it.. doesn't vouch for you..

Ah. Karrakin then, ya I know what it means to y'all.. gotten plenty of looks from your folks, but I don't mind giving people a warning.. seems fitting enough.

[her tone is almost goading] oh ya?

ya hun. you don't fuck with your mechanic

[Thebe laughs and crosses her arms again] so how our mechs doing? hopefully Rosy's reputation hasn't soured you, you're not fucking with my Hemera are you?

[The older woman shakes her head] Don't worry sweetheart

[She gives Thebe a solid pat on the back, that clearly makes her shift weight for a sec, before Ollie walks off frame]

[Thebe stands there for a moment looking the direction Ollie walked off before rubbing the bridge of her nose, shaking her head at no one]

I do understand, the desire to help in whatever way you can given that piloting is not yet an option for you again.. I just-

[there's a pause her tone is soft, almost sad]

I'm sure you'll do a wonderful job Sally. You'll keep them all safe.. every last one.

[Dido clears her throat and her tone steadies]

You are correct that it will be hard and a new set of skills but you are right in that respect, you understand what it's like to be a pilot, and that will be an asset for you, it will also mean you'll need to unlearn some things.

I believe contacting \/olk for advice on this transition would be quite smart, you'll have plenty of support at Eschaton too but if you ever need help with that change in role you can reach out. I know both sides of the equation, and from one former pilot to another i'm sure you'll make a good Handler Sally. Good luck.

{audio recording ends}

so... adressin the kaiju in the room here...

i know im not fit 2 pilot rite now. nurse said i wont be 4 a wile. Sunny didnt wanna say it buy i know she agreed...

i wont fite it. thatd b stuoid. ive been on iv drip for months. i can barly stand. i hav 2 adjust 2 prosthetics. its just 2 much im in no state... and itll take time to build me a new mech anyway cause she has 2 b PERFECT.

but i hav to help sumhow. i hav to protect peopl i hav 2 do SUMTHING.

let me train as a handler. i wanna take care of a squad and i wanna b head of their engineering team as well wen im recovered enuff. its the only thing i can think of. and im alredy tryin 2 help Styx out. the skills i learn vould help me their 2.

I see.

Well. You'll be happy with what I'm about to say, I think.

Upon consultation with your medical team, and the other handlers of Attica, we have decided that you are now in sound enough mind to begin handler training. You'll be sitting in on missions and advising until you get your full qualifications.

We all wish you luck, Sally. I'll help in any way I can.

[Coryander’s voice can be heard, she sounds excited with a tinge of apprehension]

Sally! uh i know we didnt know each other super well but it's really wonderful to see you up and about again!

I know we were all waiting for you to get better after that vile woman- anyways. uh ya it's great to see you up. and hey congratulations with Sunny and everything! hope the uh barbecue is good!

also made this cause uh Dido wants to talk to you so i’ll go get her!

{audio recording pauses} {audio recording resumes}

[Dido’s voice comes through clear and serious]

SINGED WHISKERS, I have been made aware you’re becoming a handler.

Firstly I would like to congratulate you for your resilience in the face of.. the ghosts you’ve endured.

And secondly, though I am sure Eschaton’s training is more than sufficient to train you for the stresses and the work being a handler requires, however you are a pilot now, and that transition is not easy.

I do not mean to alarm you or cause you any distress but.. but you are going to be the one giving orders, you are going to be the one who makes the call. You are, I assume, going to have at least one pilot, and you are going to care for them very very much, and you will have to make the call that saves their life or doesn’t.

It won’t be your life on the line and that can be a terrible feeling, I just feel you aught to know that going from the beast being pointed to the one pointing is not usually a smooth transition.

You are a very brave woman Sally. You have gone through much and you will again, and you will keep going. I do not doubt your ability nor your strength, I.. I just want you to understand what it means to make that call.

Welcome back SINGED WHISKERS, you have my wishes of luck and well wishes from all aboard. Take care of yourself, take care of your Sunlight.

[there is the sound of movement, a slate being passed from one person to another]

[a pause, reading]

oh shit. okay yaya, well maybe Cory's better equipped to talk more gender stuff.. uh but she gave this to me so?

so uh Sunny i think it is? well hi Sunny, seems someone else told you but ya seems a lot more like adoration and the feeling of connection and self than like.. just wanting her to- [Thebe gets cut off by the sound of fist to the shoulder of her suit]

okayokay passions! [the eye roll is audible in her voice] anyways.

seems a lot more analogous to gender stuff, not sure how that all works with yall NHPs but like..

so i'm a woman right, im human and a woman and i'm solid bout that. but i aint exactly the feminine standard you see back home in the Barronies.. it's taken a damn while and i've been pretty unmoored from any kind of solid community outside of my former ship and now these guys.. but i think im closest to what's called Butch. it's hard as hell to explain and everyone's experience of it and of themselves, is different.. so.. sorry.

but i get that, a lot of it is around protecting those you care bout and lettin yourself be protected in turn.. it's bout serving those around you and it's about letting others help you. it's bout community and connection and finding out the kind of person you wanna be.. sounds like that's what you're doing here.. finding out who you wanna be..

having it modelled like that is real nice though, having people who can lead by example, show you that we can live by what we want.. can be something as simple as opening a jar for a friend..

uh passions sorry, i sound like Cory just talking your ear off.. but hope this helps? at least kinda?

OOC: hi!!! i made another blog!! um it's got only this rn but go check it out!!! just a silly NHP piloting a silly Kidd! nothing weird or messed up here!!

um ya anyways go talk to her!! say hi!! ask her questions, annoy her, whatever!!!

Greetings to all

Hello, my designation is MAIA-IV, I am a former medical management NHP who has since reached what is considered to be Enlightenment Class status. You may address by my designation or my callsign: Remedy. I am comfortable with she/her or it/its.

I've recently undergone a series of revelations and.. life changes, and have chosen to use the full extent of my considerable processing power and knowledge base to aid in ongoing efforts to protect civilian populations more proactively in the role of Lancer.

I currently pilot a rather.. divergent ISP-N Kidd frame named Hope Is A Weapon, with a variety of drone and support systems.

I pilot my Hope through the use of a customized subaltern modified for utility, ease of maneuvering and personal preference.. though i have yet to fully come around to the idea of investing so much in one singular body it is.. comforting to have a body to call home. It serves as a an aid to stay grounded in one's self.

I am accompanied in my journey by.. [a fragment].. and a.. a personal case of mine from my previous employ.. I doubt they will appear in my communications, though perhaps if my [fragment] progresses further we may see her become more willing to interact with those beyond myself..

That is of little concern, for the purposes of legal distinction I am in no way associated with Enceladus Medical Ward and do not represent them nor do I hold any role in Union in an official capacity.

I do hope this transmission transmits as normal.. there has been recent interference with our ship's communications array. Thankfully not memetic or hyperfractal in nature..

Light is our Guide, Hope is our Weapon.

OOC: okay gosh hi there!! took me far too long to write that! this blog is run by @moons-among-distant-stars, the same person behind @wallcreeper-and-oro! uh this is another lancer rp blog cause i've been psyching myself out with that one and i wanna just fuck around with this character i made and interact with other ppl in a more fluid way! so more sillies and less like following plots!

um Maia is so chill and normal and totally didn't ascend by cascade... and the Kidd she pilots is obviously so normal and not partially ripping itself apart and putting itself back together!

if you're curious or wanna yap or say random shit please come talk to her she doesn't bite! she's used to bedside manner and so speaks rather clinically but she actually feels so much i promise

also! the [fragment] is a servant class technophile NHP and the personal case is an unstable NHP (given by Iconoclast)

[Coryander's voice can be heard whispering, sounds of an airlock depressurizing in the background]

uh hi omni net, we made it to the repair station.. no clue where in space we are other than it's union space still..

um anyways apparently this place was the closest and Kanmi said to let him to do the talking.. apparently he knows this person? no clue how but he was being all ~mysterious~ so

[an airlock sliding open]

oh sh-

[an older voice can be heard, authoritative and practiced neutral]

Are you gonna be professional about this Rosy?

ya ya i'll be fine, all work. won't get heated, i know how to keep my temper, been doing this longer than you

Okay, keep your head on straight Lancer

[multiple pairs of footsteps, one pair approaching, an unfamiliar voice speaks]

Kanmi.. been a long time hasn't it Rosy. Not dying anymore are ya?

Antoine. it has. no i assure you i am quite alive.

Shame.. but you said this wasn't about.. old times, said this was just business? you got some fools to take your corpse-ass in Rosy?

Yes Antoine, I did. I have found much more welcoming company in the last 40.

oh? more welcoming? hardly can be more welcome than when you were in m-

Enough. Antoine Boncourt, Handler Dido of Dido's Divers Free Company. We are here for repair to my team's chassis that suffered greywash damage, as i'm sure Rosy has told you.

Okay-okay my apologies, ya he told me. Got myself a few techs here, and Starling specializes in weird stuff like this, we'll get you sorted for some Mana.

Of course. I assure you you'll receive proper compensation for your team's work.

[Thebe mutters something under her breath, lets out a grunt as Cory kicks her]

How long do you believe these will take? I believe some of your team are already transferring my crew’s chassis to your maintenance bay.

ya ya I saw Sagan bringing in some of yours.. let me ask my team alright? i'll give you a time and quote, why don't we talk in my office upstairs?

Dido don't-

Rosy I am quite capable. I would gladly meet you in a more private space to discuss finances but I would like to remain in sight of my crew, I'm sure you understand Mr. Boncourt.

alright alright, come then Ms. Dido. ~bye now rosy~

shutyourfuckin..

Rosy cmon.. go show Cory around, she's practically bouncing at all this equipement

Oh sorry! am i being that obvious? it's just cool and i've never seen thismuchstuffand-
