They look to the dude on the horse. Is this a medieval world or something? Hopefully they can understand.

"Care to team up against that giant?"

[RoseHeart]

(Please use the avatar when talking. You are the woman with blonde hair.)

The Valkyrie is amazed at the sight of that mechanized dragon.

"Yes, but have you seen a knight on a horse? I got separated from him after we slew a giant snake."

[RoseHeart]

He flips a few switches, engaging the onboard speaker system. these don't look like the aliens. Perhaps I can get their aid. Of course, they still need to hear me from all the way over here.

"You are not my enemy. We can work together, save humanity, even. I am running diagnostics on the stability of the temporal effects that brought us here. We need not fight."

[RoseHeart]

The Valkyrie has no idea what the dragon is talking about. She's also curious about the strange weaponry her newfound ally uses.

"Sir, do you have any idea what this mechanized dragon is talking about?"

[TricMagic]

"Is that what it's supposed to be? Either way it just threw a rocks at us. And I'm far more inclined to trust a human than some alien. Even if the part of being warped to a strange plain is true."

[RoseHeart]

Smacking his head, he remembers that fact that this seems to be the past.

"I am not a dragon. In your terms, I am a paladin granted immense magical power. I was sent back in time before this to save humans from invaders. I had nothing to do with this. If we want to escape this, we must work together. The rock was a warning. I will not hesitate to stop you if you try to stop me."

Move Phase

The valkyrie king continues north and the assault heads that way aswell, while the boulder mech walks southeast a bit. Their previously thrown boulder quickly becomes riddled in cracks from the trembling steps.

Special Phase

The assault reloads their rifle. The rain rapidly begins to thin and then the sun finally breaks through the bleak storm clouds. Sure enough sign, that the flood waters and mist should also clear up soon...

Accrovideogames, HadesTheReaper, and TricMagic, this is your last chance to choose final positions before we join both sides.

[RoseHeart]

"What kind of invaders? And if you're human, prove it by getting out of your—whatever that vehicle is. Show your face!"

[RoseHeart]

"This thing doesn't have a fast re-entry system. Uh, it's hard to get back into the massive suit of armor if I get out of it. I think I have a display system somewhere in here... ahA! Got it! Alright, wiring helmet diagnostic feed into the 3d modeling program, uh... buffering?! What do you mean, buffer, oh, it's done. Alright, uh, wiring that to the external projector system, then... viola!"

A picture of my handsome mug displays from the legs of the mech onto the rock it's carrying, helping create the 3-d image.

"How do I look? Alright, ok, so, invaders. There's these nasty bug things that attacked Earth, uh, the planet, hmmm, the land and they came from... beyond the horizon. Now, bugs we can deal with, but these things were the size of castles, sometimes. I've never seen one smaller than a small building. And there were millions, or maybe even billions of those nasty bugs. Our tech guys, uh, scientist, wait, medieval era, WIZARDS! Our wizards couldn't divine how many there were exactly, but there were a lot. More than we had people. I can figure out what brought us here, see if I can still contact my wizard people, and maybe use that to bring us back to where we were, and use this new info to better fight the Vex. Uh, the Vex is our name for the bugs, since they were like the biblical plagues, so they 'vex' us. Yeah, I didn't come up with the name. Anyways, we can worl together. But, frankly, my mission is too important to just ignore it."

Sectoid.
Move north 2 spaces. Plasma rifle the Mechtoid menace(the giant.)

[RoseHeart]

The Valkyrie doesn't understand many of the words she heard, but she thinks she understands the general message.

"So you call this massive machine a suit of armor?! Interesting magic you have there by the way, being able to project your image like that. I also know what a scientist and a planet are. Please, I'm not a caveman. So what you're saying is that the Vex come from beyond the stars? And here I thought you were the alien, those Vex sound much worse. Anyway, do you know what those strange pillars are?"

Out of game note: People in the middle ages and even way before that knew, if they received proper education, that the Earth isn't flat. The word alien also existed. It actually means something foreign and unknown. Until recently, it was mostly used to describe immigrants.

[RoseHeart]

"Sorry, most times I go back to the past there aren't any people around. This is the first time I've talked to someone from the medieval ages. Anyways, yeah, we had to build suits of armor like this one to deal with the Vex. Also, those pillars seem to be the source of electricity my armor is receiving. They seem harmless, but if they are injured, odds are the containment would fail then a bunch of lightning would strike everywhere. Not much fun. Though, there is this one guy back at base who loved being electrified. Yeah, nobody really likes him. Regardless, I have a feeling this electrical storm will subside, then I can get a better reading on how we got here and how to get back."

[RoseHeart]

"Medieval? You mean my time is in the middle of yours? So you must be from thousands of years in the future, maybe even more. Anyway, I hope my loyal knight is alright. We met in a desert and teamed up to slay a ravenous giant snake. We then traveled together for a while until we got separated in that thunderstorm. It doesn't seem like that other man knows about him, but maybe you can help me find him with your futuristic magic powers."

The Valkyrie turns to the other man (YLW Assault).

"And you? What's your story? You don't look like you're from around here either."

move to E7

Plasma Sniper Rifle Overwatch

Move Phase

The knight charges forward, closer to the flood stream once again. Strangely, the ground continues to shake from time to time even though the thunderstorm is clearing up.

Range Phase

The sniper holsters her pistol, and withdraws her sniper rifle, going into overwatch. The distinct sound of plasma rifle fire can be heard through the fog...

Special Phase

These souls collectively have an odd sense of deja vu, and are then psychically bombarded by images of some battle taking place...no...that took place west across the dwindling flood stream. But they have only a moment to consider this vision. The ground continues to shake as the mist parts. Something massive is walking on four legs...

Sectoid.
Move north 2 spaces. Plasma rifle the Mechtoid menace(the giant.)

GM Note: Will use 1 ammo for free as announced in OOC.

Don't move.

Move down 1.

Move Phase

The assault and the boulder mech move in towards the valkyrie king. The boulder to the south shatters into rubble.

Range Phase

The assault raises her plasma rifle at the lumbering giant, and lobs a few green ethereal shots. The boulder mech's shuffling armor plates make it difficult to hit a vulnerable point. The assault is too small to threaten the machine while it is moving.

Special Phase

As the sun continues to break through the clouds the flood waters are lowering rapidly, and the mist is rolling away. And then there appears those souls from the vision before, like stepping out of a dream.

The knight and king finally spot each other.

Themed Challenge Complete: King Izabelle Horne and Madame Trinity Chandler have increased their support level to B! 'New' Ability: "Sidewinder" (details in OOC)

The XCOM Lieutenant looks across the way and sees her mortal adversary(the one that cost them everything).

Rivals: Lieutenant Riya Contreras and Lieutenant Aisha Welch cannot be allies, and gain double points for killing their counterpart!

And then you see it. Whether by local lore, or shocking readings on your instrumentation, you now recognize those glowing stars are exactly what you need. You just need to stay on them long enough...
