Tomaster
Vladimír Shurla [3]: You call off the hunt for her and run over to your mech, comandeering a nearby lift. You're soon up in the lift, ascending towards your cockpit, and suddenly you see the shock of red hair signaling Erroni, running right past your mech. Goddamn, that is just typical. You laugh quietly to yourself, then turn towards your mecha, and climb in. You flick the main power switch, then strap yourself while you wait for the hum of your mech coming online. After fully buckling yourself down, you realize that the hum isn't on.
"Oh god DAMMIT!"

Roast Veg
Aark-han [6]: You scramble into the Mecha Bay, and make a beeline for your bot. Vlad just finished with his lift, so you borrow it to get into your mech. As you hop in, and flip the power switch, you give a silent prayer for nothing else to go wrong. Looks like the gods are on your side, because nothing does! You give a silent fistpump of joy.
You strap yourself in, take one last look at everything to make sure nothing is broken, and begin walking your mech towards the ramp up to the deck. You notice that about half of your team isn't here.

JJA79
James Argus [10]: Something hits you in the face, hard. You wake up to see Erroni crouching over you, shaking her hand as if it were stung.
"Finally, had to slap you pretty damn hard to wake you up. You fell off of your mech, you damn fool, and broke your legs. Both of em. You're currently unfit to pilot a mech."
"Wha-what? Hell no! Put me up in that thing!"
You get funny looks from everyone.
"And how the hell do you expect to pilot with 2 broken legs? What if something goes wrong?"
"My mech doesn't have footpedals, I can pilot it just fine with my arms. And if something goes wrong, then I've got teammates to bail me out."
Erroni looks at you a bit, searching your face. Then, she closes her eyes, sighs explosively, and clicks on her earpiece radio, listening to the chatter. Eventually, she stops.
"There's a med team on their way right now. They'll patch you up as best they can, provide a local anesthetic for the pain, and we'll put you in your mech. You'll have to wait for the second pass near the mainland, but fine. You can go. Goddammit."

John Kosloswa [1]: You reach for the radio button, and accidentally hit the next button over. Ah well, no harm done.
Er, what was that button?
"Emergency Reactor Dump..."
You hear a loud but muted hissing from somewhere below and behind your cockpit.
"Oh ♥♥♥♥."
People on the ground near your mech run out the way as hatches open on your mech's back, ejecting the contents of your reactor. Boiling hot plasma is vented directly out of the reactor, and heated gasses from the cooling system jettison from vents near the reactor access panel. The inside of your cockpit goes dark, save for a few emergency lights. You click on a light on your sports watch.
"Fuuuuuck."

DragonXP
Kaime Freins [9]: You're a pilot in a different team than the one that's about to head out, but apparently one of them just got some kind of concussion, and can't pilot a mech. From the com chatter, it sounds like the poor bastard can't even stand up straight. So, since you don't have a mission right now, you volunteered to fill his spot! You dash out of the Point Defense Control Room and into the Mecha Bay. Quickly locating your mech, you thank the gods that you had the idea to have it worked on last night rather than today. You also thank your good luck, since a lift is still at your mech!
A few minutes and one Mecha startup later, you're walking down the wide isle towards the ramp up to the deck, ready to join this team for their mission.

Game Events: The Han Van, Barbaroi, and Arcriumis all walk up the ramp onto the deck, leaving the others behind for now. Like it or not, their mission must go on. They each switch over to TACCOM, and look around the deck. It's a beautiful day; clear blue sky, little wind, a mostly unspoilt coastline with the ruins of buildings a bit further inland. Not bad.
Suddenly, a voice comes over the TACCOM, addressing the 3 on deck.
Alright, you guys are all I get? Eh, make do with what you have. Hello there ladies, I'll be your mission operator today, m'names Thomas, Thomas Orion.
I'll be holding your hand as you go through this mission, via a link from a low atmosphere comm drone we launched earlier! Soon as I can, I'll be getting you a map or something of the area, until then hang tight. Alright, look alive! Drop zone coming up on the starboard side! Just jump off onto that peninsula!
Sure enough, there's a wide strip of land jutting out into the water. In a maneuver best described as idiotic, the three mechs leap off the deck of the ship, onto the high peninsula that must be surrounded by pretty deep water for the ship to get this close. The three of them then proceed to walk down off the scary chunk of land, and onto the mainland.

Mission 1 has started. In 6 turns, the ship will be able to drop off players on the mainland again. Anyone not in their mechs and ready to go by that time will forfeit playing until Mission 1 is over.

Amaz, right now you're down at 3 Mechas, not 6. Gotta readjust those numbers.
Goddamn it. ERRONI!
Pop the hatch and go find Erroni. Tell her my Mecha is ♥♥♥♥ up.

♥♥♥♥ yes. Thomas Orion.

Had a feeling he would make it through the NPC challenge.

I am aware we're only on 3 for now, I feel that running the figures for all six gives a better idea though. Regardless:
A 24 tonner, a 50 tonner, and a 100 tonner.
Total Tonnage: 174
Average Tonnage per Mech: 58
The average is roughly the same, my thoughts remain unchanged.

If I remember correctly, that's a light, a medium and a heavy.

Guess you guys better give each other roles in your little 3 man army.
