Battlemech Friday Rookery!
*Stomps into the Rookery driving her tall lavender mech. Stop her mech and then leaps out of it, double flipping in the air and landing on Fedor knocking him out of the middle of his chocolate donut*
You've been totally glompified, Fedor! And I'll have one of those donuts!

GAH!
*Is knocked down, with a little scowl he hops into another donut and begins to nom.*
You are fortunate I am in mid nom, or this could mean.... conflict!

Or a Gausszilla just for extra humiliation.
Don't make me switch universes and go get SDF-1!
*roars into the Rookery's airspace and out the other side in a Shinnakasu/Northrom Grumman VB-6 König Monster heavy bomber LAM*
Oh yeah! Cruisin' it old school Battletech, baby!
(Admittedly it's a custom design, but that's half the fun. )
Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
Hmmm... I am not sure the SDF-1 can really participate in a land based skirmish very well there Kant. Perhaps a smaller mech would be to your liking? An Atlas perhaps or a nice Gladiator?
Hi there Schismatrix, nice ride.

Actually, I'd completely forgotten I'd written a post up and then the forums ceased working for me - and I'd never posted it. However, some quick copy-and-paste work back then has saved my efforts, thus:
------------------
High in orbit above the Rookery, a single Leopard-class DropShip started on its glide path, inserting itself into the planetary atmosphere, its nine-man crew performing the task with the unconscious ease of a task done many times before. In the 'Mech hangar taking up most of the ship's volume, four BattleMechs stood, in their cradles, waiting for the signal to commence the next phase of their plan. Kant Lavar sat in the cockpit of his MAD-4S Marauder II, his gloved hands resting lightly by the switches that would bring the fusion reactor at the heart of his machine fully to life.
Two thwumps, more felt than heard through his 'Mech's legs, signaled the launch of the two CSR-V18 Corsairs that would be providing air cover and recon for Lavar's BattleMech lance. Flipping the switches and bringing his 'Mech fully to life, Lavar chinned open a com line inside his neurohelmet. "Leader to Red Lance, light 'em up. Sixty seconds to drop." Since the Rookery didn't have an area large enough to set the Leopard down in, Lavar had elected to have his lance dropped in a small valley nearby. Spheroid DropShips could have made a landing there, but aerodyne DropShips required old-fashioned runways. And the Leopard was much more cost-effective for a small mercenary band like his.
The large red floodlamps over the 'Mech hangar doors blinked, and nearly simultaneously, all four BattleMechs shrugged their way out of their harnesses, cutting umbilicals and fiber-optic cables, stepping towards the doors. As they did so, the doors opened, giving the four MechWarriors a view of the passing landscape. Lavar chinned over to his comlink with the fighters. "Red Leader to Blue Team. Status?"
"All green, Red Leader."
Nodding inside his neurohelmet, even though nobody else could see it, Lavar switched back to his lance frequency. "Final go/no go, Red Lance. Lead is go for drop."
The three other MechWarriors checked in, indicating no problems that could scrub the mission, and the Leopard's captain chimed in. "Bridge here, we're go. Drop in fifteen seconds. Good hunting, Red Lance."
Counting down the seconds silently, Lavar waited the requisite time and then deliberately stepped his 'Mech out into the open air. The other three 'Mechs did the same, and the four of them plummeted to the ground. As expected, Lavar felt the jump jets mounted in his 'Mechs legs kick in, slowing his descent to something survivable, and he checked the data codes on his scanner display. Red Two, piloting a Summoner OmniMech had also had its pre-programmed deceleration jump jet burn start. Red Three, in a CRD-5K Crusader, and Red Four, in a Mad Dog, were without jump jets, but their 'Mechs were bracketed in jump packs, which were taking the place of the jump jets. The burn ended, the jump packs were jettisoned, and the four BattleMechs dropped the last ten meters to the ground.
The MechWarriors spent a few seconds getting their bearings and making sure no threats were in the immediate area, but finally Lavar opened his radio link. "Okay, Red Lance, let's move it out to Nav Point Alpha. We'll secure the area there and wait for further orders." Suiting action to words, Lavar set his 'Mech to an easy lope of forty kilometers per hour - near the top end of what his 100-ton behemoth could do, but well short of what the other three lighter 'Mechs could run at - he centered the nav carat in his HUD representing Nav Point Alpha - the Rookery.
Gee Kant... Isn't that awfully involved for a donut run?
SG Mate: Cien, what the hell is this Rookery thing?
RadDidIt: (interjecting) Dude. It's the Rookery.
SG Mate: Yeah, but what IS it?
RadDidIt: Silliness Incarnate.
*Counts the incoming mechs from the highly organized assault drop.*
One... two... three... we are gonna need more donuts.
*With that he hops into a Flea mech and scampers away at high velocity returning several minutes later pulling along a little trailer filled with bakery fresh donuts and such.*
Ok, good to go. Maybe we should just play with the battle mechs all weekend?
