Jul 07 20:49:20 <Tania_Clarke>	A new alarm starts blaring inside Tania's entry plug, the remaining power countdown turning red.
Jul 07 20:49:20 <Tania_Clarke>	"...depleting..." she hisses.
Jul 07 20:49:20 <Tania_Clarke>	"Hang in there... Ib-"
Jul 07 20:49:20 <Tania_Clarke>	In response to a mental command, a comms window appears at her side.
Jul 07 20:49:20 <Tania_Clarke>	"02, pull back!" she yells angrily while looking at the First Child, quite at odds to the quiet, calm behavior she habitually shows.
Jul 07 20:49:20 *	Tania_Clarke closes the window without waiting for a reply, and opens another in front of her, receiving audio but no visual.
Jul 07 20:49:20 <Tania_Clarke>	"Captain! Battery reserves-!"
Jul 07 20:51:40 <Jack_Murdock>	"Yeah, no. It would make me look bad if I left a girl in the hands of this thing."
Jul 07 21:04:48 <Champion>	Inside the plugs, the pilot’s internal lights turn red as a blaring alarm alerts each of the pilots of a crucial piece of information. Likewise, on the command deck, Holley announces a dangerously low amount of power remaining in Unit 01 and 02. Anto, thankfully is spared from the screech of the alarm as he’s plug into the Empire State Building.
Jul 07 21:15:09 *	Leon_Raczkowski continues to stare at the scene unfolding before him through video feeds, propping himself up on the back of Thorp's chair by comms. Hearing Tania and the alarms he begins to collect himself to issue orders.
Jul 07 21:27:12 <Leon_Raczkowski>	"...Jack, remain in your area but be prepared to be re-powered by Anto. Anto, prepare to assist in re-powering the evangelions with supply drops. Head towards them immediately. Tank squadrons, VTOLs, prepare to harass the enemy and help secure Tania. We will win this fight."
Jul 07 21:31:17 <Leon_Raczkowski>	"...No, Jack move to Anto. Immediately. You'll get batteries quicker."
Jul 07 21:37:52 *	Champ (~Champion@Rizon-61D22728.hsd1.in.comcast.net) has joined #LibertyIC
Jul 07 21:38:13 <Champ>	The missles from the VTOLs slam into the Angel, explosions no longer deflected by the AT field. One barrage strikes the Angel in it's arm, while the other strikes the back of the monsterous creature. Flames engulg the arm holding Tania, while not even scortch marks show on the backside of the creature. The tanks, once more porving their worthlessness, simply miss despite their amassed fire.
Jul 07 21:41:13 *	Champion has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
Jul 07 21:42:41 *	Jack_Murdock takes a few steps back and pulls up his gun again, this time for firing instead of stabbing. 'Here goes nothing.' he mumbles to himself as he pulls back on the trigger and lets out a shot aimed at the angel's right arm.
Jul 07 21:42:48 *	Champ is now known as Champion
Jul 07 21:42:51 *	ChanServ gives channel operator status to Champion
Jul 07 21:46:14 <Champion>	At the last moment, another tansparent, orange tinted octagon appaears in front of the angel. Depsite his efforts, Jack's attack can only piddle off the AT field as the Angel begin's to unleash it's fury.
Jul 07 21:48:00 <Champion>	It's halo glowing, once more the lance rapidly slides into the eldritch creature's arm, and swiftly strikes Tania once more.
Jul 07 21:50:44 <Tania_Clarke>	As the glowing potrusion on the enemy's elbow draws back, time slows for Tania. This is it. **** will *** *** ***
Jul 07 21:50:46 <Tania_Clarke>	"No."
Jul 07 21:51:31 <Champion>	At the last second, the remains of Tania's AT field flicker's into existance, sparing her evangelion. Behind Leon, a sigh of relief can be heard from the normally inflappable sub-commander.
Jul 07 21:51:32 <Tania_Clarke>	An octagon of light manifests on the contact point, strong enough to disrupt the air around the combatants. Blocking the lance of death.
Jul 07 21:52:44 *	Leon_Raczkowski lets out a sigh of relief, adding: "That girl is frightening sometimes."
Jul 07 21:53:13 <Champion>	"Interesting~" notes an excitedly Faust, who grins like a mad man. It seems everyone on the command deck had forgotten his presence in the fear and excitement of the Angel's arrival. Simultaneously, a united shiver runs down everyone's spine.
Jul 07 21:53:25 <Anto_Belac>	"I gotta. Gotta head back towards it. No problem. H-here I go!"
Jul 07 21:54:04 <Anto_Belac>	Unit 00 rockets back down its original path, umbilical reeling out at breakneck speeds behind it.
Jul 07 22:05:30 <Tania_Clarke>	Unit 01 braces itself against the enemy, but can't manage to dislodge the arm firmly grabbing its head.
Jul 07 22:05:45 <Tania_Clarke>	"Just... drop it already..... AGH!"
Jul 07 22:08:04 <Leon_Raczkowski>	"...Thorp, get some of those VTOLs to deploy some provisional batteries to Jack's position in 02 and Tania in 01."
Jul 07 22:09:22 *	Leon_Raczkowski opens comms back up.
Jul 07 22:09:51 <Leon_Raczkowski>	"Jack, sit tight. Batteries are inbound. Anto, continue moving towards those two and insert the batteries into the port that you stuck the umbilical into. Tania, please sit tight a little longer."
Jul 07 22:10:01 <Champion>	"Yes sir!" Throp calls out. Holley, meanwhile, informs the bridge once more of impending power failure.
Jul 07 22:10:13 *	Leon_Raczkowski brushes some of his shattered mug aside as he takes a step back. "...Could've used more coffee."
Jul 07 22:10:21 *	Jack_Murdock crosses his arms and sits back in his seat and waits
Jul 07 22:11:48 <Champion>	It appears lady luck, or perhaps the devil has heard Leon. A tap on the shoulder, and a new cup of coffee is offered to the irritated captain. "Some coffee, our master war leader?" Faust inquires.
Jul 07 22:13:33 <Champion>	This time, with Jack out of the way, the Angel grabs hold of the now powerless Unit 01. Slowly, it begins to pull, and tries to snap the Unit's arm at the elbow.
Jul 07 22:13:57 *	Leon_Raczkowski takes the coffee mug from Faust very slowly. And sips it even slower.
Jul 07 22:22:57 *	Tania_Clarke freezes in place as the visual sensors on the now depowered Eva die out.
Jul 07 22:23:03 <Tania_Clarke>	"No..."
Jul 07 22:24:15 <Champion>	Faust smiles, though no one on the bridge can be certain if it's from watching Tania getting torn up on the battlefield, or from Leon drinking his coffee.
Jul 07 22:24:46 <Champion>	"Leon..." Clarke begins to growl, and everyone on the command deck's survival instincts begin to kick into high gear.
Jul 07 22:25:01 *	Leon_Raczkowski turns and watches the scene unfold in front of him.
Jul 07 22:25:31 <Leon_Raczkowski>	"...Holley make sure the signal for ejection remains solid. For now she's..."
Jul 07 22:25:45 *	Tania_Clarke feels the movement inside the plug, powerless to act. Something close yet distant snaps.
Jul 07 22:26:07 <Tania_Clarke>	"No.... stop...." she pleads to no one who can hear her.
Jul 07 22:27:00 <Champion>	Mercilessly, With a mighty tug the evangelion's arm is broken, twisted into a sickening angle.
Jul 07 22:27:39 <Champion>	Dropping the useless Evangelion, the horrendous creature from beyond turn's it's sights on Unit 02, ready to strike.
Jul 07 22:28:35 *	Anto_Belac widens his eyes as the arm twists and snaps. He forces more pressure onto his console, and nit 00 leaps over a low-lying structure in its path as it careens further forward.
Jul 07 22:29:08 *	Leon_Raczkowski continues to stand, mouth agape at the main screen. "What is this thing."
Jul 07 22:29:21 *	Anto_Belac screams with all the force his little boy lungs can allow as it barrels down the past few yards, umbilical pulling taut and snapping outward as 00 slides to a stop.
Jul 07 22:31:05 *	Tania_Clarke hands tremble against the controls, her eyes closed.
Jul 07 22:32:20 <Champion>	From above, the thundering engines of heavy duty VTOLS sound. Severel hundred meters above, magnetic clamps release their cargo, each carrying a mobile support plug. The ground itself shakes, the large structures strike the ground, one near Tania's position, the other next to Jack.
Jul 07 22:36:28 *	Leon_Raczkowski watches as the batteries land on buildings, cars, etc., shaking his head.
Jul 07 22:36:47 <Leon_Raczkowski>	"...Tanks and VTOLs, support Tania. Anto, start plugging them in."
Jul 07 22:39:10 <Champion>	Explosions from the tanks and VTOLs strike true on the Angel, no mystical forcefield appearing to intercede. Once again, the VTOLs find their mark, more fires and shrapnel damage the creature's right arm.
Jul 07 22:39:48 <Champion>	Waving it's arms furiously, the creature hit's nothing, accomplishing nothing other than to scare away nearby VTOL pilots.

Jul 07 23:10:08 <Champion>	A surge of power runs through Unit 02, as mobility is restored. Inside the evangelion, Jack feels a spike of energy run through him, as the synch connection is suddenly restored. Slowly, the lights reactivate and systems reboot, as the massive war machine powers on once more.
Jul 07 23:10:28 <Leon_Raczkowski>	"Jack I hope you're hearing this. Fall back to the umbilicals immediately. Anto is going to get Tania. Tank squadrons, five rounds rapid. Now."
Jul 07 23:10:47 <Champion>	"Unit 02, back online!" Holley informs Leon.
Jul 07 23:11:00 <Jack_Murdock>	"Yes sir."
Jul 07 23:13:37 <Champion>	Tha tanks fire in unison, peppering the massive thing form beyond with salvo's of good American fire power. For once, the massive truck of a body takes damage, while several shots pitter of the gigantic red orb of the thing. A paltry few strike the destroyed ruins of a boney face, but do nothing.
Jul 07 23:20:21 *	Jack_Murdock runs back to a nearby umbilical port as Anto moves on towards Tania
Jul 07 23:22:39 <Champion>	Inside their plugs, both boy's hear a slight ding sound. Suddenly the Angel turns towards them, and begins to sprint at full speed, almost instantly coming into range of Anto. "Detecting use of AT field!" Holley explains.
Jul 07 23:30:55 <Champion>	As Anto moves to place the umbilical cord into Unit 01, a massive swing from the angel misses Anto. The young boy's nervous flinching pulls through, as he easily dodges the attack.
Jul 07 23:31:12 <Anto_Belac>	"AAAAH!"
Jul 07 23:35:40 *	Anto_Belac raises his arms in the cockpit. 00 slashes at the monstrosity with the melee attachment on its rifle.
Jul 07 23:36:36 <Champion>	Theblade slams into the red orb, cit's spear like tip managing to make a small crack in the hard, rock like substance.
Jul 07 23:38:14 *	Anto_Belac keeps the arms in motion and piles the batteries into Unit 01's spine. "THERE!"
Jul 07 23:40:05 <Champion>	Inside the command room, Clarke narrows his eyes at Anto. "Leon, I think I need to borrow pilot for a talk. Nothing much, simply about appropriate times and places to jam things in."
Jul 07 23:40:42 <Champion>	Meanwhile, inside Tania is reacquitned to the Eva, and more importantly, the pain of having a suddenly broken arm.
Jul 07 23:43:22 <Leon_Raczkowski>	"Commander, after this you can talk to them all you want. For now we have to kill that thing and get them out of there. Tania, Jack, Anto, report now that you're all online."
Jul 07 23:44:24 <Jack_Murdock>	"Just about to hook up to umbilical power, sir."
Jul 07 23:45:07 <Anto_Belac>	"Get it away from me!"
Jul 07 23:45:07 <Tania_Clarke>	As her world flares into pain, Tania grits her teeth and bears it.
Jul 07 23:45:16 <Tania_Clarke>	"Not done yet."
Jul 07 23:45:57 <Tania_Clarke>	Unit 01 stands up with two mighty thumps, the useless remains of its left arm flopping.
Jul 07 23:46:10 <Tania_Clarke>	"AT Field."
Jul 07 23:46:14 *	Tania_Clarke stares at the enemy.
Jul 07 23:46:17 <Tania_Clarke>	"Missed me?"
Jul 07 23:46:57 <Leon_Raczkowski>	"Tania, Jack, ignore the angel. We don't need you two shutting down again. Fall back to an umbilical port, plug yourselves in, and then lay down some hurt. Anto, cover them."
Jul 07 23:48:36 <Leon_Raczkowski>	"Cover and fall back."
Jul 07 23:52:06 *	Leon_Raczkowski waits for a moment before leaning down to Thorp. "Jack will probably try to fire one last time before plugging in. Give him extra targeting data."
Jul 07 23:54:52 *	Jack_Murdock plugs into the umbilical port with a smooth quick motion. He then turns around and quickly fires a single shot at the angel to try and get the heat off of the other two.
Jul 07 23:56:07 <Champion>	Even witht the added targetting data, the shot goes wide, not even coming close to the angel. In the distance, a small building explodes as the oversized rounds strike it.
Jul 07 23:56:43 <Jack_Murdock>	"I'll try and distract it some while you both run back here."
Jul 07 23:58:37 <Champion>	As Jack shoots a head on shot for the Angel, the moonster raises the intended target, it's left arm. With a flick of the wrist, the AT field rises, and deflects the oversized bullet.
Jul 07 23:59:25 <Champion>	Turning to Anto, the Angel tries to repeat it's earlier success, and reach's for the boy's head.
Jul 08 00:00:30 *	Anto_Belac ducks out of the way nimbly.
Jul 08 00:05:20 *	Anto_Belac pulls his vision back to the umbilical ports as 00 makes a short dash toward them. It then whips around and fires a single shot at the Angel.
Jul 08 00:05:51 *	Anto_Belac very nearly hyperventilates.
Jul 08 00:05:53 <Champion>	With another flick of it's tridactyle hand, the AT field dismisses any threat Anto could pose.
Jul 08 00:11:42 <Leon_Raczkowski>	"Neutralizing the AT field appears to be the only way we can handle this. Regroup and prepare to counterattack once everyone's plugged in."
Jul 08 00:11:52 <Tania_Clarke>	As Unit 00 fires its shot, Unit 01 runs past.
Jul 08 00:11:52 <Tania_Clarke>	"Back, back!" she barks over the comms to Anto. "And raise your AT field!"
Jul 08 00:11:52 <Tania_Clarke>	Reaching the discarded umbilical cord, Unit 01 skids to a halt and turns back to face the enemy.
Jul 08 00:11:52 <Tania_Clarke>	"We can beat you..." she says to herself.
Jul 08 00:11:52 <Tania_Clarke>	"Captain, requesting re-armament."
Jul 08 00:25:24 <Leon_Raczkowski>	"Send up a knife to our valkyrie. Use the support cache nearest her. Jack, we're forwarding more targeting data so you can kill this thing: Aim for the core. Anto, head over to an umbilical quick."
Jul 08 00:25:48 <Jack_Murdock>	"You don't want it's arm anymore?"
Jul 08 00:26:34 <Tania_Clarke>	"I'll get your arm," Tania says gingerly.
Jul 08 00:27:20 <Leon_Raczkowski>	"I don't give a damn about a fucking arm anymore! Tertiary objectives means they come LAST! Just kill the thing!"
Jul 08 00:28:02 *	Jack_Murdock sends his will towards neutralizing the angel's AT field as he pulls up his gun and aims for the angel's core, once again smoothly pulling back on the trigger and hoping it doesnt get deflected
Jul 08 00:31:49 <Jack_Murdock>	*scratch that*
Jul 08 00:32:28 <Jack_Murdock>	"AT field full!" He shouts as an unseen force pushes out from the Eva's body
Jul 08 00:37:48 <Champion>	The Angel strikes once more, widly striking at Anto. the nimble boy is easily able to dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge his way out of any trouble.
Jul 08 00:41:07 *	Anto_Belac continues his now more-controlled scramble back toward his previous umbilical, letting off another shot as he falls back.
Jul 08 00:41:36 <Anto_Belac>	The shot goes wide. No matter.
Jul 08 00:41:49 <Anto_Belac>	"This thing is following me!"
Jul 08 00:43:19 <Leon_Raczkowski>	"Anto, use the term 'drawing fire' please. And keep doing it, you seem to be doing fine and buying them time."
Jul 08 00:43:51 <Tania_Clarke>	"Right, right."
Jul 08 00:43:51 *	Tania_Clarke heads towards the marked Supply point. With a soft explosion, the support pod is released, leaving the umbilical connector free to accept a fresh cord, which the biomechanical giant deftly inserts using its good arm.
Jul 08 00:43:51 <Tania_Clarke>	"Connected to main grid. Batteries at 80% and recharging rapidly," Tania needlessly informs with satisfaction. "Now, if you'd-" and she motions the arm towards the dispensor.
Jul 08 00:52:25 <Champion>	"Progressive knife incoming!" Thorp announces, as a new weapon shoots up the supply chute. Rapidly ascending, in a scant few moments the blade has reached the top, ready for Tania.
Jul 08 00:53:39 <Leon_Raczkowski>	"Good. Anto's in, Jack's in, Tania's plugged in and re-armed. Prepare for a counterassault. Tank squadrons, open fire on it's center of mass. Video games be damned, that red core looks vulnerable. Pilots, attempt the same. I'm sick of looking at this thing and watching you get hurt."
