Newt Geiszler • Open

[ Most of this fight has been less of a fight and more of a dodge for Newt. He has no weapon, no fighting skill beyond his sheer inability to give up anything. He's in it for the long run now, no matter how much of a pain in the ass these things are going to be.

Some part of his brain has been watching and making calculations about everything that's going and about the aliens themselves. He can't help it! His mind's always about collecting data, especially when that data is presented in the form of wicked awesome xenobiology. THEY'RE PRACTICALLY MADE OF SMOKE HOW COOL IS THAT. Other than the whole trying to set everyone ablaze with energy blasts thing. That sucks. A lot.

Newt's pretty sure some hairs have been singed a little with a leftover attack. Any hope of really sitting down to figure out these guys has been taken over with trying to avoid them. Jump, dodge, yell OUT OF THE WAY both as a warning and for his own safety. One thing is really clear: running at these guys is not working. It's getting late. He's already exhausted from the adventures with Kaiju. What the hell are they going to do?

He takes refuge behind a -- something to catch is breath.
]

We need a better plan than this. And lunch. Or none of us are gonna make it.

[ He's thinking out loud, not even realizing that he's talking. It's a habit from dictating notes and thinking no one is going to be around to listen to him anyway. ]

[Drift is taking a breather too, less for reasons of weariness and more to try and tame the rising frustration. He's crouched off to the side, trying to make himself less of a target as he susses out the tactics here. And it'd be a lie if he said the fight was wearing on him, his systems running hot and his ventilation system working at full capacity.

It's then that he hears the comment from behind him. It's not too startling--he's seen plenty of humanoids around--but he does still turn to look.]


Tell me about it. I feel like I'm chasing ghosts here.

[ Newt is still of the mind that these mini-Jaegers floating around, kicking ass, are piloted by people. Lucky bastards actually had armor and weapons coming into this thing. ]

No one can get near 'em!

[ Animated as ever, despite being really tired. He looks over his shoulder to watch another attack failed with a blast. A blast that needs some charging, however minute. ]

It's like they know how to get us first.

[ And that's not possible right? Sure some animals can kind of have that sort of precognition deal, but to this extent? In a battlefield? ]
alwaysadrift: (not feeling so hot)

yay I'm back thanks for being patient!

But how could they know? That's... [Well, maybe not crazy, he's seen some pretty weird things...BUT STILL!] It's like...cheating or something... [grumble.]

[He looks down at the human again, more critically this time.] You doin' alright? Must have some pretty impressive moves if you're out there unarmored like that.

[Not even a gun in sight! He must be one of those cool people like Wing with hand-to-hand skills so elite he needs no other weapons.]

and thank you! /slow

I KNOW!!!

[ Newt is very offended, but not exactly yelling. Just a naturally loud guy.

It's hard enough imagining taking out something he can see through. Though, he supposes you can see through jellyfish and they can be killed... Sort of. Anyway, the point is they are in fact cheating.

Newt looks back up at him in return and gives a very tired laugh.
]

Nope. I don't know why the hell I'm still here... [ He takes a look over his shoulder again. He knows why he's here: to observe. ]
alwaysadrift: (you want me to put this finger WHERE?)

That makes two of us!

They have superior tactics, we'll have to change ours because nothing's working. [Now that's what upsets Drift.] Also it's rude. [That maybe less so. He did spend a good long time in the Decepticons, after all.]

[Sorry little man, Drift's going to blink at you in disbelief.] Wait...you're not? Are you sure, you know, you should be here?

[That observation makes Kirk laugh. He's a couple feet away from Newt, hiding behind the same stretch of wall, trying to catch his breath. And then someone has to go and bring up lunch.]

Yeah. I'd kill for a sandwich right now.

[ Newt turns to him, squinting through all the gross and cracks now on his glasses. ]

Do you know where we can even find food?

[ He's gotten to know exactly no area of this place yet. Maybe this guy does. ]
kirking: (i just feel like we're going to die)

Working on it.

[That is code for he has no freaking idea.]

What's your name?
