The young Destroid pilot lined her MBR-04A1 (painted camouflage grey with blue UN markings) up along side the other Tomahawks in her Company. They were lined up in two rows of three in the center. Behind them, two of the massive HWR-00 Monster's were lined up behind them. To either side were the remaining Tomahawks from the 2nd Armor Battalion (Reinforced), including four US Army Units that were mag locked to the ceiling!
All in all there were a total of twenty MBR-04 Tomahawks assembled.
She didn't know why they were ordered here from the central hull of the UES Macross while the battle outside raged on. Part of her was glad to be away from the direct fire of the alien mecha and weapons fire coming from their inbound alien ship. Another part of her was wondering why they were ordered here.
Destroid Officer:
"Turn on your magnetic pads, and set all weapons to fire at once, don't worry about aiming at anything."
"Hold your fire until I give the order."
After link all of her guns to fire at the pull of duel left/right triggers and setting all her missiles to fire at once the young woman waited. Six months ago she was a junior at Macross High School, and was on the girls varsity basketball team. Today she was a Private in the UN SPACY Ground Forces.
The next few minutes seemed to last an eternity.....the young pilot then feels a massive vibration running through her Destroid. The intensity of the vibration increases to a point where she has to let go of the controls to avoid firing any of her mecha's weapons.
The vibration all of a sudden stops.
Destroid Officer:
"Get ready to fire....."
The massive ramp in front of the UES Daedalus begins to open up and the young Destroid pilot sees the inside of what had to be the inside of the alien vessel that was approaching the UES Macross.
As the ramp completed lowering her CO yells out the order to fire.
Destroid Officer:
"FIRE!!!!"
With the order given the young woman launches all of her MBR-04A1 Tomahawks missiles she then furiously depresses the duel weapons triggers. Her Destroid shudders as the two HWR-00 Monster's fired all eight of their 16inch battleship guns, followed by twelve missiles fired from the arms.
The inside of the alien vessel was immolated and after a brief 30 seconds of continues fire the order to cease fire is given
Destroid Officer:
"Cease Fire! I say again CEASE FIRE!! CEASE FIRE!!!"
As the order is given the young woman watches a curtain of fire from inside the alien ship rapidly approaching. The curtain of fire is halted as the three energy discs that had been moving across the UES Macross' hull during the battle stop in front of the UES Daedalus' now closing loading ramp.
OOC: I always wanted to do a 'cold open' before a big battle, I hope you like it.
