Legs: 0 on right, 26 on left. Everything else is a-okay.
NarrativeUgh, this hadn’t quite gone like she’d planned - apparently her research hadn’t been in-depth enough to tell her that the Gunblaster had a shield. And worse, the computer’s readout on the status of the leg that her opponent was simply “Unavailable”. Given the way the Spino was moving, that seemed an appropriate descriptor. Still, the important thing was that she
was moving. As long as she was moving, she was still in the fight. And she’d be damned if she was gonna go out with a whimper instead of a roar.
She lunged for the relative safety of what cover was left after the firefight, making certain that she didn’t stay in front of the Ankylosaur’s guns - seemed like it couldn’t move the weapons without moving itself, so naturally she wanted to keep it re-adjusting itself as much as she could. Whilst the Sapper ran, using one of the beam saws as a crutch, Moira prepped the missiles, flipping switches until her cockpit was illuminated in light. The Zoid turned, and three missiles roared out into the cave, and hopefully into her opponent. There would be no distractions now - now, Moira meant business.
And the first order of that business? Finding somewhere quiet to sort out the Nanotech. The Spinosaurus hobbled into one of the less destroyed areas of the cave. She figured it wouldn’t stay that way for too long, but she’d be out of there soon enough. Slamming her hands into the touchscreen, Moira listened to the sounds of gunfire echoing through the cavern, and set the Nanotech to defend her against the bullets and shells that were no doubt coming her way. With her leg in the state it was, she didn’t see much point in getting back into Melee range again to use the saws. Besides, she wasn’t keen to get up close, only to discover that she couldn’t deal any meaningful damage. Well, not before she'd thoroughly tenderised the armor with a nice helping of ammunition.
The Spino Sapper launched itself out cover - Moira didn’t fancy finding out if her foe had spent the time she’d used to recalibrate her defences to charge up some crazy weapon. She’d seen those things before, and they were devastating. Indeed, she figured she’d be a happy woman if she never saw something like that ever again, let alone come face to face with one. On the bright side, she supposed, her opponent was no theropod: those sorts of Zoids seemed the most likely candidates for that kind of firepower, for whatever reason. Frankly Moira figured that something so powerful would be better off on something more stable - something with more legs, but she supposed that the designers probably had their reasons. In any case, it was hardly a thing to be worrying about in the middle of her battle - her particular theropod wasn’t lucky enough to have some insane cannon it it, so she’d have to keep it alive by making sure the thing shooting at them stopped.
On that front, Moira broke for the next area of cover, and as the Sapper hobbled along, the tail guns lined up with their targets, and lit up the cavern with a searing flash of energy pellets leaving their barrels. It was perhaps not as enthusiastic a shot as the one she had started with, but frankly she was amazed the Sapper was still upright with the beating its leg had taken, and she didn’t want to risk it buckling under the Zoid’s weight more than she had to. Still, she kept running as quickly as she could get her Zoid to go - the armor plating was thick, but looking at the array of weaponry sat on top of her opponent’s zoid, she didn’t doubt that they were capable of chewing through it eventually. The lights above Moira’s head flicked on again, and with the mash of a button, three missiles followed the path of the energy rounds.
Moira pushed the crippled Zoid onwards - if she could just stay at the sides of the Gunblaster, she figured it’d make her an awkward target, but since her opponent kept moving, she needed to, too. Not ideal, especially since the missiles and cannons were pretty hard to aim whilst moving, and there was also the matter of the totalled leg, but it was that or being left with a desiccated Spinosaurus. Glancing at her opponent, she figured she had the time to stop again, sliding the heavy Zoid to a halt in the gloom, back facing her opponent. Not a conventional approach, perhaps, but given her stronger guns happened to be mounted on her Zoid’s tail, there wasn’t a lot she could do. With a loud crack, the rounds followed the path of the missiles, towards her opponent.
