All Quiet on the Indigo Front

You must talk like James T. Kirk in this forum at all times. Leonard Nimoy is fine too.

All Quiet on the Indigo Front

Post by cleanupcrew » Thu Jan 29, 2015 6:34 pm

Britannian-Stranian border world, G.R. 2015

Image

Image
Stranian Commander: What our forces lose in quality, we can more than make up in quantity. The Stranian front will not fall to the Britannians. Drinks on me tonight once we return to the Bloody Eye Nebula.

Image
Red Beret: Major Sheridan, we must act now if we are to prevent a defeat.
Major Sheridan: I fully well understand the direness of our situation. We underestimated the industrial capability of the Stranians, and our arrogance has cost us.

Image
Stranian Commander: Continue laying down fire on those Brits! We’ll force those teapots out of cover eventually.

Image
Red Beret: We’re taking casualties-are we truly out of options? We may as well order a retreat at this point.
Major Sheridan: Blimey! With the amount of suppressive fire from the Stranians, that course of action may as well be suicide.

Image
”Did somebody request reinforcements?”
Major Sheridan: A Knightmare Frame? It must be one of the new Christminster models I’ve seen in the corporate forces. I hate it when the East Indigo company butts its head into the military’s affairs.

Image
Stranian forces: :byzero:

Image

Image
The Knightmare fires a slash harken at the Stranian fighter.

Image
He then reels it in, dragging the fighter to the ground.

Image
Stranian Commander: Fucking shit! At this rate, I’ll get a demotion. Call in a Wobbly!

Image
A Stranian mech enters the field.

Image
Sir Brassington: Bloody hell, it’s been such a while since I got to fight against another mech. I think I’ll go hand-to-hand for this one.

Image
The Stranian mech continues sauntering over to the Christminster Knightmare,

Image
Before it can react, however, the Christminster rolls towards it and raises its sword to strike.

Image

Image
Sir Brassington: Another planet secured for Her Majesty. The BEITC and the Governor-General of the Indigo Colonies will be pleased to hear about this development.

That is glorious, especially the steam gatling.

That Christminster looks sexy. I'd be cool, to see a pic of it, next to the Lancelot.

I think the mech could be steampunked up a bit more. Looks a tad too shiny for Britannians to me.
