Nee-chee said..er..

Nietze said "... when you gaze into the abyss the abyss gazes into you..." or something like that.

I'm gazing into an Abyss and all it's saying to me is Nine point eight Meters per second per second times one... two... three... four...

Jeepers! that stone is still dropping?

...10... 11...

Anyway. I'm in my mech, my mech is hanging by "something" over a cliff. I think we won but I dare not move I...

AHA! I think I heard it hit and WHOA! Um... yeah... just talk now Shinji. Excessive movement is... bad.

Where was I? Right contact. The little buggers were listening to our EM Emissions. After figuring that out we were about to continue on when there was an explosion behind us... Dalton appeared to have performed the 'Kakema Manuver' again. We went back, picked up the pieces of himself and his mech and shipped him off in the Eclipse (the LtCmdr.'s mech).

The patrol continued until we hit the main swarm at the edge of the Marinas Trench. I tried to capture a unit with my tow cable charging ahead of the line of battle.

When I regained consciousness...

Toshi Gari was apologizing. "for what?" I asked.

"UH for the... ENEMY! Yeah the enemy getting you with that mine." He replied.

"What mine?"

"UH EmCon. The enemy can hear us!"

Something to pursue there?

Anyhow I should mention Toshi Gari's "Thunder Turtle" was performing quite well. I don't know where got that extra little weapon from, but it's too bad that new Guy, "Tank" couldn't wipe out mecha's with that sort of pin point efficiency.

"Things got crazy for a while. The Enemy eggs were all over the place, but the Matsushira took his Eclipse up almost into orbit and fired some BIG freaking gun and blew the enemy to smithereens. And the ground... and well... let's put it this way... I was running away from the boom with nearly a minutes warning and now I'm hanging over an abyss which wasn't there before the gun went off.

So that's the current... WHOA WHOA.. AHH... oh... I'm not falling I'm going up... this is good.

That's right thumbs up you idiot... Tell me first before you do something like that. Stupid SAR Techs think they... er... somonelse might read this...

-- Congratulations on being assigned a GRIZZLEY! the latest evolution of Mazda/Bombardier's sucessful Predator(tm) line of Fine Armoured Fighting Vehicles.

-- Unlike any varient you may have piloted before, the Grizzley is designed with one function in mind: FIREPOWER.

-- with that in mind please note that you only have a single cockpit seat and a much smaller storage area and fuel bunkerage than your typical Cheetah, Kitsune or Wolverine.

-- in return you have unparalled tactical manuverability and the amazing new HELLBORE ship-killing missile. of course the tight tolerances make your vehicle much more labour intensive for your mechanics and with all this ordance around you are encouraged to be VERY familier with the new QUANTUM KICK (tm) ejection system....
