Music - Post Battle (D2 LE Open)

[Felicity]

In a good mood, Felicity smiled and dipped her head back to Andrea. "Merci beaucoup." The phrases she'd picked up years ago were still useful she thought.

By now it was very dark out and getting colder. Felicity rubs her legs and tugs her hoodie down. "That was fun. Maybe a few others know some instruments?" She suggests to Andrea. Then her eyes open wider. "Hey! I wanted to ask what happened earlier. You were ambushed, right? Do you have a few minutes, eehm, Andrea?"

[Andrea DeTroyes]

"Perhaps," Andrea taps her bow against her shoulder, "Miss Colette is probably our best spy in extracting that information given her control of the food." She teased. Taking her own seat, she continued, "The ambush? The Major was carrying some lumber and several armored vehicles attack. Then the enemy was joined by some mechs. Killed a few vehicles on the way out but mostly just held them off the boss while he waddled his way out in an industrial mech."

[Felicity]

Carefully holding onto her bow and violin, Felicity would sit down wherever was free and closest to Andrea. "The Major ended up piloting that thing. I'm surprised. Okay." She shook her head. "But, what happened in detail? What vehicles and such, si? I want to know as much about the opposing force as possible. Can you break it down in more detail for me?" She scratched her right cheek. "Please?"

[Thomas Moreno]

Thomas sat back, listening to the chatter about the battle. He was interested in the scuttle butt himself. Not that he had seen much fighting himself, it was mostly mechs that had seen action so far.

[Andrea DeTroyes]

"Well you would be better suited reading the AAR...I was mainly on the western side while much of the heaviest action was on the east." Andrea sat her own instrument down gently. "We moved into a wooded area not too far from the town. And on the return trip north up the road two condors, a scorpion, and a pegasus attacked us. I moved off to the west and engaged the scorpion, but mainly I was covering an intersection to the west."

"The bulk formed around the Major's lumberjack and I went off further west. After a short fight I disabled the Scorpion." She rubbed her head, "A Firestarter crawled out of a little valley to my south. I broke from them and moved back up and around a hill that split the lance up. Sgt. Fogel ended up following me and engaging the Firestarter. In the main fight the two Condors were immobilized and an enemy Hetzer revealed itself. First Sgt. Eklund engaged it directly."

"An enemy Phoenix joined the fight in my area at that point as me and Fogel moved up and through a little valley between two hills. I took the chance to start harassing the Pegasus that had been firing SRMs at the main group. Disabling it with a point blank alpha strike....and a good stomp. Didn't kill it though, had to keep moving and it wasn't a threat any more. At this point the Hetzer had apparently messed up 1SGT Eklund's mech pretty bad and her and 1SGT Bruun laid into it, I got a few shots myself but...Bruun must have taken its existence personally as he was just pounding it with everything up to his fists."

"By this point a Gladiator and Eisenfaust had joined in, but the Major had escaped and the rest of us followed shortly after."

[Felicity]

"Are we even collecting AARs? Nobody asked me to report anything on the other skirmish this evening." If there had been some standing order then she'd definitely not heard it.

Felicity mimicked Andrea by setting her own instrument down carefully. As the noblewoman began to explain she listened, placing her hands in her lap. "Good move." She would have said in regards to the intersection. The Lumbermech was slow and vulnerable, so it needed screening in Felicity's mind.

She nods approvingly as Andrea mentioned disabling the Scorpion. However, she was a bit taken aback hearing about a Firestarter. That only worsened in time as she heard about other mechs, especially another Phoenix! She didn't know what an Eisenfaust was, but she knew the Gladiator was a solid if rare design.

Felicity cuts in to state, rhetorically. "She did?" In regards to Maja and the hetzer.

"I see. That explains the damage I saw in the hangar earlier." The Wyvern had a useless arm.

Tapping her knees, Felicity nods a few more times. "Sounds like it went about as well as it could. An enemy lance trying to engage you all and sending vehicles to delay you so they could catch up. It was probably only the damage you all did that stopped them giving chase, si?"

[Andrea DeTroyes]

"I would assume, most of the vehicles were out of action so it was just the mechs." Andrea nodded, "Come to think of it...1SGT Bruun seemed most upset about the situation with the Hetzer." She blinked, "Ah...yes. Probably because of 1SGT Eklund's attempt at a jump attack on the vehicle. I did not catch the full outcome but I gather the risky maneuver ended poorly." She rubbed her head, "The arm was a shot from the AC20 I am sure, I stayed out of that thing's front sight. One shot would have ended me."

"I believe you had your own battle?"

[Colette Rupelle]

Colette knew of these forces attacking and shook her head. Brunn had the intel. "Offworlders..." she whispered to herself. She started to rub her hands as the evening grew colder. Don't even worry about it. You are here to keep morale up! "Monsieur Brunn must have been angry because of what zeese people did to garçon Samuel." She smiled. "Zey had it coming." She clapped and gave them a salute.

[Felicity]

Definitely sounds like he was upset, smashing it that much.

Wait, what? Felicity stared in amazement at hearing about a jump attack on the Hetzer. She shakes her head and just looks stunned for a few moments. "That's crazy."

The question about her own fight snaps her back to the present. Clearing her throat, she sits up straight. "Yea, there was a light scout lance surveying the dropship. The pirates of course. They were powered down to avoid detection, but we got lucky and picked them up. Snorri, do you know him? Pilots the Hussar? He and I did a wide flank to hit them from behind." She paused there, ready to continue.

Colette received a quick smile. "Wait until you hear about what we did to the four mechs spying on us."

[Andrea DeTroyes]

"I see," Andrea rubbed her head, "I should have tried to take out one of the enemy mechs, but the mission comes first."

"Oh you mean him right." She points at the mentioned mechwarrior watching from the sidelines.

Snorri slinks in, setting his feet up on a crate and taking a sip out of a flask. A bit of music doesn't hurt to help unwind

"Anyway...I assume you saw them off, light scouts yes? So Locusts and....?"
