Snippet #1340235

With a jerk the pilot woke to the noise of the speakers begin repeated over and over. Lifting his right hand he pressed it against the face plate of his helmet as his left hand reached out pressing down on a few keys causing the computer systems to reboot. It took only seconds for the computer to shutdown then reboot as all the screen went black then light back up a full scan of the frame was taking place leaving the pilot a minute to recover his senses.

The first thing he did was remove his helmet which he was quick to throw into the bottom two seats of the Zeus which normally would carry and three man crew the pilot of this frame had all the controls reworked to be ran by one pilot, now with the helmet gone he rubbed his eyes as the computer read off the readings from the scanners.

“Alright lets see about getting the comm. back online first.” Reaching out the man began striking the keys of a console. The screen to his right flickered for a moment turning from a pale blue to a light green as another small screen came up inside it this one scrolling with a mix of letters and numbers. Turning from the screen and key board the man would let the computer finish working on restarting the comm. System, as for his self he turned to another screen raising a finger to the screen he pressed down on the screen then dragged his finger to the right causing a small box on the screen to become larger. Turning from the screen he took hold of the drive controls and pulled back on a handle then pressed down on it.

Outside the frame the left foot rose up a couple of feet then slammed back down onto the street sending out a loud boom that could be heard for a long ways off. Inside the frame the screen on the mans left side light up for a brief moment giving a slightly detailed map of the surrounding area. On the display he could tell there was a couple of other frames in the surrounding area some of which was ground units there was also a sky borne frame as well. However, the display didn’t give him any clue as to if they was allies or enemies so he had to get his comms’ and weapon systems back up and running or as close to full power as he could.
