Big Eyes, Small Mouth (BESM): Nexus Earth - Chapter 9.3b High Tech

Recommended Posts

In the massive Mecha hangar of the Macross, Captain Hoshino worked on repairing the damage to the Gaogaogar, Shin Getter, and the Mecha that had returned from battling the Rogue Satoshi ships and mecha. Seven were missing completely, but four of the pilots were recovered, so new mecha would be fabricated for them.

Once all the repairs were underway, Captain Hoshino Sat back, looking up at the Sentient robot Gaogaigar and nodding. "She's not dead. Is there any way we could create something similar to you for her?"

The huge robot seemed to Sigh. "Not quickly. And even as it stands, I can feel her life force fading." the big green eyes seemed to Focus, and Ruri looked to find Francis there. "Ahh, Agent Francis, good to see you are alright."

"I suppose." Francis was quiet, and very seriously focusing on the repair efforts around, or at the floor at moments. "I came down to see how things were going here. And meet the Gaogaigar, since I'm afraid I haven't had the time before."

It sounded as if there was more to his visit, but Francis did not seem keen to say so immediately.

because you have no status within Satoshi. I can simply call you "francis" but i figure some respect is warranted. With regards to your gear, I can modify it we do have time and some extra resources."

"what sort of upgrades are you thinking?"

"We're going to construct a secondary system for the laser pistol, with an extra power cell, a firing mode that enhances power, and rate. I've drawn up some basic plans, but I don't have the full techie knowledge to pull it off. You certainly would."

Francis looked fairly quiet for a moment. "Given that most folks in this band seem to have more firepower in their left pinky, I need to even the odds a bit."

"By all means then."

"Computer, Allow Agent Francis Gold access to our training rooms. Give him provisionary protocols, with safeties on. Please conduct him to training room 1."

She set to work remaking his gun, disassembling it piece by piece.

The computer beeped in his earpiece and gave him instructions onto how to get to the training rooms.

Francis made his way into the training room and went to immediate work. His training was an exceedingly punishing volley of stretches, cardiovascular activity, he even set up his armor to activate an emergency evasion practice linked with his sensor glasses, focusing on melee attacks of varying forces and speeds.

Pushing it through, not matter the ache or hurt, he knew he was going to pay the price later, but the developed ability would pay dividends and make him a better combatant for it all.

Francis immediately pumped a pair of shots into both demons as soon as they appeared, but although heavily injured, both did not go down. This peashooter really isn't that powerful he noted, before smoothly sidestepping the first demon and ducking the leaping second.

A shot into the first's side caused it to dissipate in one burst, and the second went down with a howl once the next shot struck its head.

"That went fast." He remarked. "Next one."

"Understood"

the monster that appeared had a large pilebunker on one arm, and the other was an energy cannon. It's tail and shoulders were spined. Another spawned next to it

(ACV 14 DCV 12 HP 400 armor (10/20) 3 attacks 3 defenses damage 120, 60 range 2 , 60 range 3 penetrating 4)

Bigger and tougher still, but they had not been much in the end.

Francis began with a fusillade, one shot aimed for the front of the cranium where it would hurt and the rest generally battering the cannon armed beast. It swayed in pain but refused to yield, opening up with a beam of fire and its counterpart charging in with tail and piledriver.

Francis quickly cartwheeled out of the way, but was struck a glancing blow by the cannon, though his nano-bots simply knitted up the minuscule wound. He returned fire, but the cannon monster wised up to his aiming and shifted enough to dodge two shots, leaving it still alive despite the other pair hitting dead-on.

Both monsters then swept their tails forward but Francis jumped and cleared their strikes. As soon as his feet were safely about the spikes, he pulled the trigger, and new shots finally brought down the cannon monster, roaring then dissipating.

The fellow monster roared too, but in anger and charged in, though the unwieldy blows gained no hit. Then the black pistol fire blazed at it and the battle was clearly going the superspy's way.

The now berserk monster went all-out managing a hefty hit with the piledriver, driving Francis back, but he rolled and came up with a quick staccato of ammo that sent it crashing to the ground, dead as well.

Francis worked up, straightening himself out and waiting several seconds, but the injuries left were cleared up in the fraction of a minute by the efficient nanos.

"Ok, computer... this still isn't that much a challenge." The only limitation really so far was his laser pistol going under repairs, otherwise, they'd be dead faster. "Captain-level."

"Acknowledged."

Raisho appeared before him, clad in his own Satoshi battle armor, battle rifle in one hand and twin swords at his sides. The air began to hum and The simulated captain nodded as he raised his weapon and fired four bursts From the heavy battle rifle.

Francis took all dead on, the first in particular playing across his body hard. Sent painfully back, he let his eyes travel to the battle rifle and popped off a shot to knock it away, but sim-Raisho was too fast. The forcefield flickered with the next two shots though.

Francis attempted to teleport out of the way, but more shots found him and his armor registered that he was taking severe bodily damage. Biting his lip, he did something he'd rarely done before and never for a training session. Activating an Emergency Code.

"Armor, Emergency Code Ares." It was a clear command. A field of energy sprang out from the armor and surrounded Francis protectively.

The agent fired off more shots, but only two hit, though the flickering field and the pings off armor gave off a glimmer of hope.

Two of the sword's slashes struck Francis, and from the force of the blows, although the field and armor reduced them to minor cuts, at full strength they would have sliced him apart. He kept the Ares field up, but as he snapped shot after shot off, the sim-Raisho knocked every one away with his sword.

Francis realized at this point, he was outmatched, at least with the current armaments, and he had no realistic hope of winning. "COMPUTER, STOP!"

"You're welcome for the challenge." Francis drawled, sounding less than pleased at the news. Without his own weapon, he was not quite feeling ready to take on the Captain-level sims again. He sighed and exited the training rooms, slow steps as he languished in boredom. Then the thought occurred to him. Grub. Yes, get some grub. A little more certain in his plans, Francis began to search out the cafeteria.

It took some doing but he found the mess. At least a dozen troopers, most looking like adults everywhere but their faces, were sitting and eating. The fare looked to be Meatloaf, with a number of fresh vegetables and all of them were drinking water.

Well, that looked better than anything CrossTime ever served in the cafe. Francis made sure to grab a good chunk of meatloaf, and carrots and brussel sprouts on the side, plus a bottled water, and sat at a separate table, savoring the meat's sauce and tenderness. Ahh, very delicious.
