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

-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.]

[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.]

[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.]

[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.]

[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.]

[Garrod can hear something outside, but the screens and sensors are all dark, and even though he tries to bring it online with a few toggles of switches and buttons, he knows the Gundam's out of power.

Groaning as he tries to move, he removes the control unit from its place, tucking it and his link into his jacket. There's a particularly sharp pain in his side as he tries to pull himself towards the hatch release, a pain that doesn't improve when he drops back against the hard pilot's seat.]

Owww....

[He sure hopes he didn't break any ribs. After a couple of minutes, he carefully tries again, reaching his other hand up. It takes a few attempts, but slowly he manages to shove the hatch up, slightly. Jadewing will see it start to swing up just above the Gundam's central chestpiece.]

[It takes some doing, and some careful manipulation of stiff fingers so as not to pull the weapon's trigger by accident, but the blaster rifle soon joins the shield lying next to its owner on the ground.

It's right about then, though that Jadewing notices what he at first thinks is the mech stirring. But no, the mech remains steadily offline. It looked like a panel on his upper chest was trying to swing open, though with difficulty. Some kind of automatic repair protocol, designed to allow access to internal systems maybe maybe?

Carefully, Jadewing takes hold of the edge of the panel and gently begins to lift it open himself. He didn't want to force it, but if the automatic systems had been damaged in the crash, they might need a bit of help.]

[And suddenly it's a whole lot easier to swing the thing open! Garrod's a little surprised by that, but it's a load off on his part, so all he has to do is climb out and- hocrapit'sarobot]

-GAH!

[It's not that he hasn't talked to guys like Jadewing before, but he hadn't expected anyone there on the other side, and face it, having a robot looming over you is enough to provide a start, right? Unfortunately it also makes him lose his grip, and back down he tumbles.]

[Jadewing didn't see the human at first, not until he gets out from under the panel. When he does though, his reaction is almost as startled as Garrod's, abruptly releasing the panel as the human yelps and falls back into the cockpit below. Good thing for him it's locked open by this point.]

A human?! The frag...?

Agh, ow...!

[That's about as much as Jadewing will hear from Garrod at the moment. It'll be a bit before he tries to haul himself up again. Maybe. .... ]

[Jadewing shifts to peer into the cockpit. From the looks of the controls, this wasn't a real mech at all, just some kind of... exo-suit on circuit boosters, or something. That made him feel a little foolish for taking the time to disarm it, but there was no help for that now.

With the strange exo-suit established as non-sentient, his attention turned to the human. Normally he wouldn't care about him, but it was kind of his fault that Garrod had fallen back again, so...]

Hey... uh... you need a medic, or anything?

[There was no obvious damage to the human that he could see, but still, he sounded like he was in pain. And after a crash like that, Jadewing would be astonished if the human wasn't damaged. Though was there even a medic around who knew how to fix human injuries? Gah, squishies... how do they work?]

[Stubbornly, Garrod does make the attempt to clamber out again, although he probably wouldn't mind an extra hand if Jadewing was willing. He clings to the edge of the hatch, a pained look on his face as he tries very hard not to fall back down again.]

Grgh.... I'm...I'm not sure. I think I might've broken something... My Gundam's out of power too.

So that's what this thing is... Puts the exo-suits the humans have back home to shame; I thought is was a real mech.

[He debates over aiding the human in his efforts to climb out of his Gundam's cockpit. But that would mean touching him, and ugh squshies are so... squishy. If he doesn't help, though, they might blame him if the human did turn out to be seriously damaged.

With a bit of a sigh, he extended a hand, crooking his thumb in such a way that the human could brace against it and clamber out more easily. The other fingers of that hand curled slightly behind the human, ensuring that if he did fall again, he wouldn't fall far.]

I may be able to do something about the Gundam, assuming it runs on energon, but I don't know the first thing about repairing humans. What do you think you broke? And are there any medics around who know enough about human repairs to fix it?

Sorry for the confusion, but then before here, I didn't know that there were living robots around... Personally I think we'd be a lot better off without these things, but so long as people are wanting to fight...

[He blinks, but doesn't turn down the assistance, and having that extra support is a lot of help.]

-thanks.

Uh...well my Gundam's power hasn't been converted to the local energy source yet. I guess this would be my hint to get that done.

I'm not much of a medical expert either, but I'm thinking my ribs took the worst of it. Not sure if there are any human doctors, at least none from the few humans I've talked to around here, anyway.

Seems like they'd be pretty useful to me, in or out of combat. I mean, humans are all small and squishy and slag; you probly need every advantage you can get.

[He gives a slight, dry smirk at the comment about needing to get the Gundam's power source switched over to energon.]

Might be a good idea, yeah.

Ribs... [He thinks a moment, trying to remember what 'ribs' are.] Ah, right. Internal supports, chest area.

[He frowns. It's nothing that sounds potentially lethal, at least, but what if the human is mistaken about his injuries? Well, he'd been planning to call a medic in anyway.]

I'm gonna call in Knockout. He's a Cybertronian medic, but I hear he hangs around with a human pretty regularly; he might at least have some idea what needs doing.

[Jadewing opens up a video comm channel to knockout.] Hey, Knockou. You receiving?

[Nodding, Garrod in the meantime sits, deciding that so long as he doesn't move he won't hurt so much. While Jadewing is calling out to whoever this Knockout guy is, the boy pulls out his own communicator when he gets pinged.

Whoops, seems like a lot of people saw that crash. He'd better assure people he's alive and stuff.]

[After a few minutes of trying and getting only static, Jadewing gives up with an annoyed grunt.]

Hmph... figures he'd pick now to not be watching his comm...

[Turns back to the human and sees he also has his comm out.]

Looks like Knockout is a no-show. You having any better luck?

Maybe...

[He replies, somewhat distracted with another conversation before he lowers the Link, glancing up carefully in Jadewing's direction.]

Rapunzel said she might be able to help, and Deckard's on his way here.

Hmm... Don't know either of them. Though given that I haven't been here that long, that's not too surprising.

[Realizes that without Knockout coming to help, he kind of doesn't have any reason to stay. He'd discharged any obligations he might have had to render assistance. Though some small part of him finds the idea of just leaving the injured human and his Gundam alone out there... distasteful.

Which makes things a bit awkward, to say the least.]

I should... probly stay til they get here, though. Just in case.

[Just in case of what he doesn't know, but you can't be too careful, right?]

I didn't think so... How long have you been here?

[He blinks though, having half-expected to see the guy to leave.]

....oh. Um, well sure, if you want?

I don't think I caught your name. I'm Garrod.

Couple weeks now. Still not used to the place.

[He wonders if he ever will be. In some ways, it's so much like home but in others, it couldn't be more different.

He nods slightly in acknowledgement as the human- Garrod- introduces himself.]

Jadewing.

So... what were you doing way out here anyway?

[The boy nods. He doesn't know if he'd ever get used to this place either.]

Jadewing, huh.

[He blinks, and then looks down at the Gundam he's sitting on.]

Thought I'd take a look around on this side. I guess I went out farther than I planned.

Guess so. Should probably pay more attention to whatever power indicators you've got in there next time you go out for a flight. You don't fly on low power unless you have to.

Yeah, I know, I know.

[He grumbles.]

I got a little distracted, I guess.

[Finally, up comes a patrol car. The lights and sirens will go off for a brief half-blast just to get their attention. It's never goot to seem to sneak up on someone. Especially when one of those someones seems to be another of those "Seeker" types, or whatever it is that Deckard's fellow officer calls himself. He'll pull up and open the door for his passenger to disembark, waiting until she's cleared him before he transforms.]

[Jadewing smirks slightly at the human's annoyance.]

Fliers that are easily distracted don't tend to live very long. But I'm guessing you've figured that one out yourself by now.

[Pauses as the patrol car comes pulling up, waiting to see what happens next.]
