>At least the sheikh had some decency. He said if I wanted to come to Mars, I'd have a place on his staff, and that his eldest daughter would love the Tarrasque and make it famous. She's supposed to be some kind of Martian ace.
Wonder if we should just give it to her ahead of time?
>they have the Tarrasque now and I don't see how you've got a prayer of beating it with what you're riding.
That depends entirely on how well we can dictate the circumstances of engagement, I think.
After we kick the shit out of his mech hes gonna want to join us to make an even better mech
A military ace could probably have figured out pirates were stealing her shit without giving ten bucks first.
Probably her sister
Being a good pilot does not necessarily correlate to being possessed of common sense. Just look at Jesus.
Being a genius pilot and fighter doesn't mean much when you are arrogant and dismissive of anything that is 'below' you. We also came way out of left field and managed to get them to surrender while she was still asleep.
Anyways, we must recruit the good doctor and his daughter. A man who is good to his child, makes big zams, and enjoys bacon sandwiches is a worthy man.
"Squadron B was here!? I...I don't understand at all. This wasn't even...it should have been in my files!" Samantha huffs.
You raise one eyebrow and look at Samantha, she shrugs, looking a little shellshocked, “Squadron A was never told about this. I mean, I knew Project Skywalker existed and that this was one of the facilities for it, but the most I expected was some of those theoretical plasma swords and maybe a new beam cannon or two. Nobody ever told us there was a prototype that powerful here.”
Dr. Clancy grunts, “Yeah, I got questions too. It's been weeks since our last transmission, and this is a goddamned military facility. Where're the UJCIDF battleships? I mean, I appreciate the rescue sweetheart, and your boyfriend here is obviously a good pilot even if he's just as obviously a space pirate, but shouldn't the Cincinnatus or the Jaburo or the new Mekong-class I've heard about have showed up by now? What the hell is going on, where's our backup?”
Samantha's normally polite and impassive face is haggard with guilt, “I...I'm sorry, I wish I knew. I'm not even supposed to be here, we have orders to hold position and do nothing, but I couldn't follow them and took matters into my own hands. Officially, Roarke here took me prisoner.” She places her hand gently on your arm, “Unofficially, I convinced him to come. He's a good man, a little rough sometimes, but he has a strong heart and hates the Green Skulls as much as you do.” She bows her head, “Please forgive me, you deserve better for your service. I'm ashamed as an intelligence specialist that I don't have any idea what is happening.”

And Oda. And Red Siren.
I blame Space Madness.
Jesus can spot a pirate to be fair. And just saying she would probably have to fight pirates being an ace.
Plus the one we have probably would have mentioned it during her tirades.
You take that back! Oda is a true bro, and all our prospective waifus are a best! A BEST! But some are more best than others.
