And that you've got an anesthetic drip in your spine preventing you from so much as wiggling your left nut.

Ouch, JJ's stuck with ED. Have fun with that one bro.

If i remember correctly that's actually a coil gun ¬.=.¬ . A gauss gun uses magnets and magnetic balls to transfer motion of ascending speed along a trench in a form like this ( [] = magnet () = ball ) () []()() []()() []()()

the first ball knocks against the first magnet sending its second ball forward which gets pulled into the other magnet going faster and faster until it hits the last group in the line and sends its ball off at insane speeds. the more groups of magnets the faster it goes in the end.

further explanation can be found hear http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7CyPtF0ChA

idk if anyone will find this useful or if im just wasting space >.> that could other wise be used for a move. also was not expecting jj to be ownd that quickly.

Coil guns are sometimes (usually) called gauss guns after the mathematician/physicist who first thought up the principle for them.

Just wondering, but can a mech trip?

Yes.

Sorry for the wait.
Prepare for the second landing.

Rolling now before I forget.

Vladimír Shurla [3]: You scramble into your mech, acutely aware of just how little time you have left before the ship gets past the jump off point. ♥♥♥♥, why did you have to choose such a big slow mech?
"FASTER YOU IRON TURD!"
Your mech finally boots, and you have it stomp towards the top deck as fast as it can, nearly crushing several munitions carts.

Roast Veg
Aark-han [1-1=1]: You look around in a panic, and see the source of the blips. Huge lizards, each at least 2.5 meters long, with dark brown skin that blends with the dust of the wasteland. Or maybe they are covered in dust. The lizards also have long, thick, muscular tails, and each limb looks strong enough the crush you to a pulp. One hisses at your mech, and you see a few rows of gigantic teeth. These things are goddamn terrifying.
You spin your mech around to run, but one of the lizards already latched onto your foot, and you fall forward to the ground, slamming into the windswept dirt. You can see the other two lizards advancing on you.

Amazigh
"Amazigh" [1]: You slowly move you mech forward, watching for any danger. This far away from the danger zone, nothing is likely to eat you, but there's no such thing as too careful. Except being so careful that you accidentally run into an office building. Your mech crashes through the floors of the building, and rubble rains down on your hardened steel frame. Your mech is undamaged, you think, but you're stuck.
Keep watch, while I enter the building to survey it.
"Uh, that's gonna be a problem. I kinda got stuck in a building under some rubble."
No response.

Kaime Freins [5]: "Keep watch, while I enter the building to survey it."
Without waiting for a response, you lower your mech down near the ground, set it to standby, and pop the hatch to your cockpit. You cautiously walk out, looking around for anything. Nothing shows up, so you jump out and run the short distance to the large glass-windowed store entrance. Just in case, you pull out your Glock.

Game Events: Good news, your reinforcements have arrived.
AREA MAP UPLOADED.

Both Vladimir's and John's mecha make it to the deck in time to hop off the ship. John's Chameleon goes easily and without complaint. Vlad's super heavy Goliath, on the other hand, is not so lucky. It makes a valiant leap off the side of the ship, and barely reaches the peninsula. It then wobbles around, trying to get its balance, as if it damaged its foot from the jump. Then, the peninsula breaks. The force of a 100 ton mech landing on it was too much for the chunk of land, and it begins fragmenting into the ocean. The Goliath makes a mad dash for dry land, leaping into a roll at the last second. It barely makes it onto land safely.

The three Lizardheims attack Aark, pinning his mech to the ground. They haven't gotten through his armor yet, but it won't take long for them to do so with him prone on the ground like that.

Ummm, Hyper, where in the map are me and Vlad?

Damn, I knew I forgot something.

So, uhh.
Where exactly are we?
