Battle Intel:

The objective of this mission, is to capture the ballast asteroid of the the space elevator. The first order of business is to secure the area around the asteroid for the landing party. This will need space capable mechs. The Humanoid mechs venturing on this mission will be issued special backpacks for spaceflight.

It is recommended that pilots get an AI or modify their existing one for space flight. The elevator cable is nearly indestructable but, try not to hit it. The cable itself has strong defenses and pilots are warned not to get to close, the defenses have some serious firepower.

Asteroid Interior

Too big to post.

Takashi climbed into Paladin, hearing the 70-ton machine come to life.
"Paladin to Astral Hawk Command," Takashi said "Awaiting Launch orders."

"Paladin Procced to catpult 7." said the Officer coodinating the launches of the mecha.

"Affirmative Command," said Takashi moving Paladin to the Linear Catapult "Paladin in place, awaiting green light."

"Affirmative Paladin," the Officer said "Green light given, launch now!"

Takashi was fired out faster than he expected, activating his space pack the moment it cleared the Astral Hawk's catapult, manuvering Paladin into formation behind the General's mecha.

"So now it begins."

"I think I'll do that." Ermor says, using his neural link to input a few commands. Almost instantly, his mech seemed more stable and slightly easier to control. Inputing a few more commands, he sets the default 'up' to be oriented with the Astral Hawk. Although it would become meaningless quite soon, it helped slightly with the feeling a wieghtlessness.

"Mischief Launching." Tsumi accelereates into space and away from the Astral Hawk before coming in slightly to the left of Paladin.

"It's been a while, hasn't Paladin?"

Ermor opened a radio line to everyone that was currently launched. "Remember, the aim is to disable. We don't want to shed to much blood during this ordeal." He says, cutting the line as soon as he was finished.

As they were fighting in space, Ermor had developed a few programs that would streamline his fighting, namely dealing with firing of his weapons. Booting one of these such programs, he pulled out a clip from his storage and loaded it into his rilfe. As the battle seemed to be coming to them, he activated his combat systems and watched as everything took a sort of surreal quality on his holoscreens. Each enemy was given a quick scan and some information about each popped up in seperate windows in his vision. These he moved out of his way, waiting as his computer cataloged and sorted by potential danger of each enemy.

This took some time, so he locked onto the nearest fighter with his targeting computer and took careful aim at it. Another small window popped into his vision, telling him what type of ammo was inserted into the rifle and other helpful information on it. Ermor gaved a quick squeeze of the trigger on the rifle to fire a single round. The counter in the window of the rifle ammo went down a numeral, showing the remaining rounds.

The rifle round blasted out of the rifle, glowing a faint blue. As the rifle fired, Ermor's thrusters compensated at the same time to keep him in one placed after the shot. The figher in question lit up as the round hit it, though no visable damage was visible, the fighter shut down, hit by an EMP round.

He opened another radio line quickly, "Alright everyone, its show time." He says, giving his thrusters a burst downward, away from the group they had formed. The thrusters gave another burst, stopping him in his tracks. "Just be careful not to get yourself killed out here."
