[[Video/Action :: Outside of Haven]]

[leap_before_look]

-aw come on, not now!!

[The boy curses over the sound of warning alerts, the feed shaky as wherever he is, it looks like Garrod is struggling with some sort of controls. Those blinking lights around him can't be good.]

Come on, come on, come on- Crap, no good, I gotta slow this thing down somehow..!

[He glances around frantically before it seems something comes to mind.]

Hope the Harmonica's still got some juice..!

[Flipping a few switches, he wrestles again with the main controls of his Gundam, concentrating on the main screen before him as he watches the ground get closer with each second.]

-Now!

[There's a flare of reddish light, and depending on where one is around the Northeastern edges of the Haven, one might see a large white mech in mid-plummet, suddenly firing off a stream of multiple beam blasts from a long shield-like weapon. It serves to provide a brief buffer in the Gundam's descent, but the landing is still a rough one once it does touch down with its feet, the ground crumbling at its impact, sending the mobile suit sprawling forward a good couple of miles before it halts.]

Rgghhh...!

[The image rattles badly with the landing, and Garrod himself is thrown forward in the mech's cockpit, unmoving as the lights within fade out along with the alarms system.]

[Action] Because why not? X3

[Jadewing unfortunately didn't catch the transmission. He does, however, catch sight of the falling mech while out flying. He winces slightly at the impact and, after a few long moments spent mentally debating it, heads that way for a closer look.

He circles over the fallen mech a few times before transforming and landing nearby. He approaches cautiously, recalling the amount of firepower the mech had displayed. Whoever he is, though, the crash seems to have knocked him offline. Jadewing crouches down next to the mech, taking hold of his nearer shoulder and, with an effort, managing to turn him over onto his back. Best to check him over, see if he could get him back online before calling in a medic.]

[Action forevz] XD

[leap_before_look]

[The Gundam is fairly large and pretty much a dead-weight, but once Jadewing does manage to finally roll it over, well, nothing happens. It lies there, its optics unlit, but its weapons remain firmly held in either hand, a large blaster rifle aside from the odd shield-like weapon.]

Re: [Action forevz] XD

[the_other_green_seeker]

[The mech looks remarkably intact after such a rough landing; his armor is cracked in several places that Jadewing can see, particularly on the legs, which took the brunt of the initial impact, and Jadewing was willing to bet there were more stress fractures on the internal mechanisms. But the armor had held up, and there were no rents or fluid leaks that he could see.

Jadewing is also impressed by the fact that the mech had managed to hold onto his weapons, despite the violence of his landing; his hands must have locked on them automatically. After another brief mental debate, Jadewing decided to disarm the mech before attempting to wake him. He didn't want to find out what this mech would do if he woke to find a stranger looming over him. He started trying to remove the shield first; it'd be sort of in the way for any medic he might have to call to the scene anyway.]

[leap_before_look]

[Given that they were expected to do space battle, the Gundams are built tough. A little cracks and dents are definitely preferable to any further mangling, but Kid isn't here to throw a fit about any damages, period.

It takes a bit of effort on Jadewing's part, but eventually he'd be able to pry the Beam Harmonica out of its hand.

Inside, slowly but surely, Garrod begins to come to. That had not been a fun landing.]

[the_other_green_seeker]

[Jadewing sets the shield down on the ground nearby. It's heavy; shuttle-mech grade or similar, by his estimate. Which was probably why the rest of him had held up so well too, come to think of it, though the mech didn't look like any shuttle-mech he'd ever seen.

He moves around to the other side beginning to work the blaster rifle free as well. Once that was out of the way, he'd see if he couldn't wake this guy up.]

[cliffjumper]

... Hey, you okay there, kid? Need some help?

[Because while he hadn't seen the spectacular crash, it'd been kind of obvious something had happened.]

[Video]

[leap_before_look]

[It's a little while before he can respond, but by then he's obviously out of the cockpit, at least.]

Just a little bruised...

[A little, he says. He tries not to wince too much when he shifts in place, his free arm curling around the left side of his torso.]

...don't think my Gundam's going anywhere though. I'll need help getting it back into the Haven.

[Video]

[cliffjumper]

[Cliffjumper quirks an upper optic ridge at that, snorting.]

Looks like more than a "little", but as long as ya ain't bleedin' out and you've got help back, anything else can be fixed I think. [Well, there would be bruised or maybe punctured organs, maybe, if he remembers correctly, but hopefully there was nothing like that.]

That suit of yours though... how big is it? [He flashes a grin, slightly dry.] Dunno if I can help ya on my own with that or not.

[Video]

[leap_before_look]

[He doesn't say anything more on that, but he does nod.]

Ah...it's a little over fifty feet.

[Video]

[cliffjumper]

... [Have a snort, probably choked laughter and Cliffjumper shaking his helm.]

Right. Definitely gonna need something to haul it on if I'm gonna help ya. I'm strong, but dragging fifty feet of metal around ain't somethin' I'm capable of.

[Frowning thoughtfully, Cliffjumper shrugged.]

Some of the bigger mechs around here could probably do it on their own, though, and definitely with something to haul your suit on.

[chaosgoddess]

[Eris claps, as if she only saw a really funny performance.] Are you still alive?

[leap_before_look]

[Yeah, guess who's not amused, Eris.]

Yeah, sorry to disappoint.

[chaosgoddess]

[No one ever is upon meeting her.]

I'm sure there will be more occasions, you ca try harder the next time.

What was all that about?

[leap_before_look]

If it involves a repeat performance of this, I think I'll pass, thanks.

My Gundam lost power before I could get back to the Haven.

sorry for the slow tag, Ii somehow missed this reply

[chaosgoddess]

Don't you like living the wild life kid? That's the only way to feel alive, almost dying.

Your 'gundam' looks similar to the other metal men here. Did you kill one so you could get inside it?

[Video] Ahahah pretend this isn't two days late 9,9

[thankyou4myheart]

G-garrod!? GARROD! Garrod, come in!

[YELLING at his comm even as he's bolting from the precinct, prepared to drop into vehicle mode and speed out there.]

[Video] xD

[leap_before_look]

[It might be an uncomfortable span of 10-15 minutes before he'll get a response. By then, Garrod's gotten out of the cockpit, with or without Jadewing's assistance.]

...Deckard?

[Video]

[thankyou4myheart]

[Deckard's moving as fast as he can, but with the rocky terrain and no streets, he's having to hoof it on foot.  He's getting close but not there yet by the time he finally gets a response.  The relief nearly makes him miss his footing.]

  Garrod!  What happened?  What are your coordinates?

  [He knows the general area but was going to have to search once he got out that way.  The Gundam is HUGE…but the area is HUGER, so…]

[Video]

[leap_before_look]

Uuh... Well, I took the Divider out for a flight, but it ran out of power on the way back. Crash-landed just outside of Haven, Northeastern quadrant.

[He pokes at his Link to see if he can't- ah, there we go. Coordinates, sending.]

[Video]

[thankyou4myheart]

[Ah, coordinates, excellent!]

Did you ever get it converted for energon? [Why would it have run out of power?]

[No…more important question.]

Scratch that for now. Are you injured? Is anyone out there with you? Or on the way?

[video]

[tower_bound]

[Uh oh... None of his transmission looks or sounds good. In fact, his little adventure in... whatever he's inside seems particularly bad. Dangerously bad. Bad enough to where she will find a way to get to him if he's too injured to answer. She isn't sure how, but she will if need be.

She also isn't sure whether he's hurt or not, or even if he's able to respond to her call. All the same, she tries to reach him.]

Garrod? A-are you okay? Can you hear this at all?

[Video]

[leap_before_look]

H-hey Rapunzel...

[Hopefully she isn't panicking by the time she gets his response, which probably isn't longer than ten to fifteen minutes later. By then he's out of the cockpit, although there's not much by way of background to tell where he is, save that he's somewhere outside yet.]

I can hear you. ...been better, but being able to breathe and move's always a plus, right?

[Video]

[tower_bound]

[Panicking, yes. Blatantly showing it, not quite yet. When she hears his voice, she scrambles back to her comm, relieved that he's alive and finally outside of whatever dark enclosure he was in.]

Breathing and moving are a good start... [But that doesn't mean there aren't wounds, seen or unseen.]

But you're not otherwise hurt, are you? Because... because I can help if you are.

[Video]

[leap_before_look]

...yeah, I agree with you there.

I'm... I dunno. Hurts when I try to move, think my ribs might've took the worst.

[He blinks though- did he hear right?]

You a doctor or something?

[Video]

[tower_bound]

Think less medical and more magical.

[She bites the inside of her cheek. He definitely could use her hair... assuming it would work this time. It did squat to help Sora when it was sick, and she's horribly aware that there's a possibility her hair's power hasn't returned yet. However, it's hard to sit by when someone needs that sort of aid, when she knows that if it does work, his agony would be cut short.]

I-I mean, if you don't mind that, I can figure out a way to find you and see if I can help.
