Not knowing how to answer this Kuro just went back into the cockpit and opened a channel to someone. "Hello? Hikari you there?" Kuro said into the channel. A girl with black hair in a ponytail appeared in the screen. "Yes, need anything Sis?" Hikari said happily. "The Gawain needs repairs as well as a few more weapons." Kuro answered back. "The Gawain will be in the repair area." Then she cut the transmission when her sister was about to say something.

Sometimes I don't know why I still contact her for repairs on the Gawain. Kuro though as she took the Gawain to the repair area. After reaching the place she told a few mechanics she had contacted someone to repair the Gawain and went to report to the 'boss'.

"Hmm..." Kurose glanced at his radar. A mech had appeared on it, a Zelphune. "I believe someone is on their way."
He flipped a switch, and a tranmission to the Boss appeared.
"A Zelphune mech has appeared on the radars," he said. "No doubt the mercenaries have seen it, but I'm going to give the Zelphune a welcome anyway."
"We don't need hostilities against the Zelphune right now," the Boss began, but Kurose cut him off with "I never said anything about hostilities, I'm just going to see who it is."
He cut off the transmission to the boss, opened one to Yamaguchi, and informed her of the mech, before activating the Athene.
"I wonder if it's one of those pilots I fought," he mused to himself. "Should be interesting."
The Athene moved out of the hangar, and moved some distance around the town before catching sight of the MGH1. He opened up a transmission to the mech, which he recognised as the one he had fought earlier.
"There is a no-mech combat law around here," he said to Jude. "If you attack, there will be merc mechs on you by the dozen. So don't try anything."

Kuro, having left her mech to talk to the Boss, didn't get the transmission from Kurose. "The mission was a success. Though the Nagato wasn't completely destroyed." She told the boss.
"How can the mission be a success if the Nagato wasn't completely destroyed?! Oh well, the Zelphune might dispose of it." He answered. "Also someone left a package for you. It's down in the repair area by the way."
"Well I guess I better take a look." Kuro answered bored.

Reaching the repair area a mechanic brought her to package. "Some girl with a ponytail brought it. She's working on your mech right now." He explained. "Here it is." He stopped at a crate as tall as Kuro.
Kuro brought out a knife and opened the crate. Inside some sort of suit was inside. It looked like a smaller verion of a mech.
"Like it?" A familiar voice said behind her.
"Hikari, so what is it?" Kuro said observing the suit.
"A hardsuit. It's still a prototype and I needed someone to try it out. I thought you would like to try it." Hikari said smiling. "Besides I thought you would need it since the Gawain will be getting repaired for the next three days."
"How can something this small be as powerful as a mech? Explain that." She said unsure.
"It's not. But can damage the other parts of a mech like the battery unit and it is easier to move in as well as fly in." Hikari answered.
"Fine I'll try it." Kuro said coldly and a few minutes later she was wearing the suit. "I'm going to see if anyone followed us back from my previous mission." With that she took to the air, noticing the Athene and the other mech from earlier she flew towards them.
"IAT you better not be planning to fight him." Kuro said opening a channel to Kurose. "You know the rules here." She said coldly.

"Didn't I say I wouldn't be initiating hostilities?"
Kurose looked up to see Yamaguchi in the suit.
"Nice mini-mech suit. Something your sister made, I expect? Very attractive."
He chuckled a bit.
"Though I do feel offended I didn't get one. I was under the impression that we all work for the Boss here. Was I incorrect?"

“I’m not afraid of those two-bit pilots.” He scuffed over the channel. “However, seeing as you don’t seem to have a bone to pick I’ll behave myself.” He said. Opening the cockpit, and situating an ear piece in his left ear, he came out into the open. Then, over the horizon a female figure came into view. She looked to be wearing what looked like a miniature mech that would encase the wearer, instead of putting them in a cockpit.

Who is her sister… how was she able to build a suit like that… and who was the boss? Jude wondered to himself. “Yoo-hoo…” He called out, an ‘ahem’ following as he cleared his throat. “Well, then… I guess you two are Nazcrut, but why were you at the Zelphune base, helping that other pilot?” He asked, his question directed towards Kuro.

"Nacrut?" Kurose scoffed--though in his monotone voice it didn't sound like it. "I would not touch those foolish warmongers with a ten-foot pole--unless, of course, there was pay on the other end of it.:
He opened up his cockpit, fingering a pistol concealed at his back, and stepped out, his headset still on his head.
"I should like to ask a question of you," he said blankly. "What business do the Zelphune have here? As I figured, you were all too proud to hire mercenaries, especially the numbskulls that are all that is to be found in this hole. "

OOC: What other pilot? You need to be more specific Orion.

"Apparently my sister doesn't work for the Boss. She makes her living as a mechanic, the suit by the way is her own design and is a prototype. I'll have to use until the Gawain is repaired." Kuro said into the channel and turned her attention to the Zelphune pilot. "Believe or not the Zelphune gave me a mission to either destroy the Nagato or kill Berthold Gregor or both." She answered him coldly.

"Hmm, I should ask her about the designs," Kurose muttered in their channel. "I'd be quite interested in my own, even if I had to pay for it...and it's a pity you killed Gregor at that time. He wasn't at full strength...you wouldn't have gotten the entire challenge out of fighting him."
He chuckled, and turned the Athene back towards the town.
"I believe the Boss said something about another mission, so I'll be returning; you probably should do the same. Farewell, Zelphune pilot," he said to Jude, before he returned to the Boss's headquarters.
"Might as well wait for Yamaguchi before getting the mission details," he mused out loud as he walked into the building, where the Boss was sitting at a table, working at a computer. On looking at the screen, Kurose discovered that he was playing some video game.

Kuro decided to leave, but made a detour to the repair area. Hikari had finished a third of the new arm by the looks of it. Kuro was about to leave when...
"So how was the suit?" Hikari asked, eyes sparkling.
"Okay. If you want to know an acquaintance of mine seems to want the designs for the suit. He seemed very interested in the suit." She answered.
"Apparently I have only have a design for women. But if he wants one he has to build it himself." Hikari said thoughtfully.
"Well I better tell him that. By the way since you make your own designs for mechs, does that mean you make your own weapon designs?" Kuro said interested.
"What do you think?" Hikari answered with an odd gleam in her eye.
Kuro took that as a yes and a few minutes later she had the suit off, hurrying to see the boss.

OOC: Going to bed. Cya on Monday.

The Boss noted Yamaguchi's entrance. Already seated at the table was Kurose, sipping thoughtfully from a cup of coffee, his eyes closed as if he was meditating.
"Ah, good, you're here..." the Boss said as Yamaguchi entered. "We have a new contract...this one is from the Nazcrut, however. The objective is fairly simple; they just want someone captured. They don't care how, as long as the free lancer pilot named Cobo Angel ends up in Nazcrut hands."
He placed a few photographs on the table; two of a young man, and another of a mech.
"That would be him, and his mech."
"Oh, interesting," Kurose murmured, his eyes having opened now. "I believe I encountered this mech some time ago. As for the pilot..." he thought for a moment. "Didn't I see this kid at the bar across the street?"
"This isn't a time for jokes," the Boss snapped, irritated. "Besides, you're not old enough to be drinking, how would you even have gotten into the damn bar?"
"Regardless," Kurose raised a hand. "Continue."
"Anyway, all we know is that this kid had some beef with our last target, Berthold Gregor, and has connections to the Zelphune through his brother, who was a Zelphune pilot. Beyond that, we don't have much information, though he's rather infamous in the mercenary community. Almost as notorious as you two, I daresay," he chuckled a bit, and then went on.
"Anyway, Yamaguchi will be assigned the role of capturing Cobo Angel himself. IAT will be support and backup."
"Why am I always support and backup, incidentally...?"
"Because last time you were given the primary role, you allowed the enemy to unleash every weapon he had on the backup, just so you could study it," snapped the Boss, clearly annoyed by recalling the incident. "Anyway, that's all I know," The Boss raised his hands as if it was no longer his business.

"Hey hold on! Why am I always paired up with this guy." Kuro exclaimed, grabbing IAT by his shirt collar and making him stand. "He gets on my nerves a lot." She added and released IAT.
"Because every mission you've been on is always completed and everyone else who could be your partner is out on a mission." The Boss answered. "Now just get going."
Kuro left, deciding not to tell IAT what her sister told her about the suit.

Kurose sighed as Yamaguchi released his shirt collar.
"Well now, was that really necessary..." as he straightened his jacket's collar and she turned to leave. "After all, I rather enjoy working with Kuro, as it seems to yield the best results."
His voice, monotone and without feeling, did not reveal any sarcasm as he walked into the hangar as well.
((Since no one seems to look in the OOC section I will post this here. I MAY be without internet for the next 3 weeks. This is not definite. I'm going on vacation and I don't know if I will have internet. If I post again by Friday (at the latest) this can be disregarded, as that means I do have internet. Thanks, and sorry for the trouble if I don't get internet))
