"Tequila": Second Lieutenant T'Aquila
Zoomlion temporary mecha formation
Inside the 6th attack ship of the 6th Fleet of the Covenant K Group 12.
===============
"Thorn" "Thorn"
Sparks flickered in front of the console, and a trembling sound echoed in my ears, making it quite noisy and irritating.
Her vision was a little blurry, and she involuntarily reached out and touched her face.
The slippery, slightly viscous liquid was filled with the smell of blood that irritated the nasal passages.
Blood? Did you bleed yourself?
T'Aquila struggled to open her eyes, but all she saw was darkness.
At this time, the electric spark flashed again, and the dark environment became a little brighter.
Dizzy, T'Aquila slowly moved her hands and then propped herself on the ground, trying to get to her feet.
"Cough~cough" coughed a few times a little violently, and a pinprick pain came from both arms, but it was large, and Tequila finally sat up from the ground after several efforts and efforts.
Looking up, sparks were still flickering in front of the bridge, and the surrounding scene was still the same as the previous cockpit, but the environment seemed quite chaotic, apparently made like this in the violent shock just now.
But what's going on? I remember that they had only been inside the battleship for four or five minutes, and then this mutation occurred.
Filled with doubts, T'Aquila involuntarily put her hand over her left arm, which had been pierced by a sharp collision. The wound in this area was so painful that she frowned and bared her teeth.
However, there is pain, at least it means that the problem is not that serious. If you really don't feel it, you may have to have to have your leg amputated.
"Cortana, Cortana." Looking around, but unable to find a shadow of her partner, Tarquila shouted around her as she kicked her feet hard and tried to get up from the ground.
Fortunately, her leg was not injured, and she was able to stand up, but it was quite laborious, because of the impact and damage to her body.
"Cortana...... Hey, are you still alive? Cortana ...... Damn it! ”
Tearing off part of his clothes and bandaging his left arm, T'Aquila walked around the small cockpit, but found no sign of Cortana.
"I'm here......" But just as she was about to give up, a reply came.
The voice came from the corner, and it didn't sound weak, but full of energy.
"Hey, why are you hiding here!" T'Aquila stepped into the corner, lifted Cortana off the ground, and then grabbed her arm around her thin neck, pulling her arm over her shoulder.
Cortana's body was not seriously injured, but her leg hit the wall in the corner, and she walked with a limp.
But despite this, she did not lose her cool.
"Let's go to the treatment equipment and recover from the injuries first." Cortana coughed, her short, blood-stained silver hair falling to her ears.
The two of them went to the mecha's healing equipment, only to find that the healing equipment was malfunctioning and could not function properly.
"Damn, go back to the bridge, bear with this little injury first!" T'Aquila was not angry.
So the two walked to the console again, and T'Aquila helped Cortana to sit in the driver's seat, and then slowly sat down in the driver's seat.
Habitually outstretched her hands, but her left arm trembled violently and spasmed, and T'Aquila grinned in pain.
"Damn, what the hell just happened, it hurts."
"It may be that the Star Alliance or Zoomlion have released a large number of large-scale EMP bombs, forming a large-scale EMP field in the outside world." Cortana restarted the mech, then pointed to the warning message on the screen, "Look, the fire locking system is out of order. ”
"Maybe it's an EMP bomb." T'Aquila lowered his left arm, trying not to touch the wound, and then rested his right arm in front of the bridge, one hand controlling the few remaining buttons that didn't fail, a comical sight.
"Fortunately, the mecha can still be activated, maybe the battleship itself is blocking a large number of EMP fields."
The two did not expect that it would be a strong interference from the energy domain field, and the EMP field and the energy domain field are two different concepts, which can be described as very different.
"'Cold Star' calls 'Rice Mouse', 'Cold Star' calls 'Rice Mouse'! Captain Mika, please come back after receiving it! ”
After activating the mech, Cortana found that the surveyor was limited to a small area around her, so instead of piloting the mech, she began to communicate with the surrounding area.
"Hear back from you, Second Lieutenant Cortana, I'm Mi Xiang."
Soon after, there was a quick reply from the liaison. It's just that from the tone of the speaker's voice, it doesn't seem that he is in a very good mood.
This is the disadvantage of being called a code name, although it sounds rigorous and serious, but it may offend many people.
"'Rice Mouse' ......"
Tarquila on the side almost couldn't stop laughing, she really didn't expect the captain's code name to be so chic.
"How's it going? Are there any casualties and when will we move on? Cortana asked.
"At the moment, there are 0 casualties, I don't know what happened just now, there is something wrong with our mechas, wait a while and then move on......"
A few minutes passed, and all the drivers woke up without a single casualty. Immediately, these mechs resumed their operations, and although they were all limited by the energy domain field, they still maintained a certain level of mobility.
Since the place where they were before was quite closed and there were no holes at the top, this temporary mech team was not directly baptized by the energy domain field storm, which also made their mechs less damaged and not as serious as Raikkonen and the others.
"Alright, move on, follow the original route." Lieutenant Commander Petrov issued an order on the communication channel, "Our goal is to help the friendly forces in this battleship take out each other and complete the convergence of the two sides." ”
More than a dozen melee mechs marched at the front, occasionally using their own melee technology weapons to break through the walls of each pod to clear the way, while dozens of long-range mechs followed.
Most of the 62 mechs they got from the parking bay of Battleship 6 were long-range attack mechs.
"And what about the convergence, Lieutenant Colonel? We have a lot of drivers here who are injured and can't force themselves into the fight. Taquila reminded Petro.
"Take advantage of the opportunity, and if it's safe to do so, retreat to our fleet." Petrov spoke in a calm tone and blurted out without thinking, which showed that he had already considered such a situation, "There has been a proliferation explosion that looks like a strong force field in the outside world just now, so I can't guarantee whether the battleship is safe." ”
Cortana: "Anyway, let's support the other mech team on this ship." ”
Driven by the melee mech, they rushed to the cockpit of the battleship as Ike had said, and soon reached their destination.
Inside the battleship's cockpit, the TAI-18 and the Ferrari F2D confronted each other.
Both raised their lightsabers, but could not swing them.
Due to the direct effects of the energy field field, all the mechs here are so badly damaged that basic activities are difficult to perform, and their reactions are quite sluggish.
Some ranged firefighters have luckily no problems with their fire control systems, but the locking program does not activate. The melee mechs were even worse, even the lightsaber generator was severely damaged, and the power regulator was damaged, and a large number of melee weapons around the mech were basically ineffective.
The only two that were lightly damaged were these two ace-level mechas, but they only confronted each other and barely managed to keep moving.
And around them, dozens of mecha are also standing opposite each other, and the mecha of the Star Alliance and Zoomlion are relatively close to each other at this time. However, the embarrassing thing is that both sides want to kill each other, but when both sides activate the mecha, there is no response.
"What's going on?" As soon as Zoomlion's temporary mecha formation entered the cockpit, Taquila saw this strange scene in front of him.
"Hey Cortana, kill them!" However, when she saw those Covenant mechs, Tauquila shouted to Cortana without hesitation, but there was no movement in her hands. Because of the problem with the fire control lock, she is quite laid-back now.
"Understood." Cortana immediately nodded, and she immediately activated the current mech's fire control system: five particle plus guns.
Five white beams of light condensed in front of the "Boom Boom" mecha, and then these beams shot at several Covenant mechs.
The sounds of "boom" and "boom" explosions sounded one after another, and the Star Alliance mecha was destroyed one after another. Since this is a close-range battle, it can be shot accurately without a locking system, just like at close range without a machine sight.
However, due to the close proximity to the Covenant mecha, the mechs around it were also affected, but fortunately they were not detonated, but the fuselage was injured by the fragments of the Covenant mecha.
"Hi Cortana, stop shooting now!" Seeing this scene in front of her, T'aquila couldn't help but be shocked, and she immediately spoke out to stop Cortana's actions.
At this time, the many mechs behind them also stopped shooting, and the white balls of light condensed in the muzzle of the cannon also dissipated.
