RP: YSS Kaiyō Mission 30: Sugoi Dekai

Though Molli would have asserted that she had the situation with that confrontational tech uncontrol control, the Nepleslian felt much better knowing that Sif was there to back her up. In the junior Neko's brief tenure on the Kaiyo, she'd backed Molli up a lot, earning her a slight smile with an aside glance. Once the offender walked away, Molli poked Sif with her elbow. "Thanks," she whispered before the distant battle through the dome caught Molli's eye.

Now that she had time to appreciate the mecha's design, its battle with the sandworm transfixed Molli. Unlike the princess, Molli thought the mech looked beautiful in its design, and its precise movements made her long to sit in the pilot's seat. That reminded the Nepleslian of her failure to pass muster for a mecha unit--a bitter moment at the time, but it led to her joining the Kaiyo, so maybe it was for the best.

Her observation ended with the arrival of more NMX and their associates, and just like that, their tenuous cover got blown. At Hoshi's command, Molli was right behind Sif--well behind, considering her comrade had just taken out her fellow human. The Delsaurian, despite its short stature, was brave enough to make a move on Sif when she turned her back, but all that earned him was a solid punch to the side of his head from Molli's metal arm. It wasn't as graceful as Sif had done, but it was enough to floor him, and a second punch kept him down.

"How'd taffs like them keep this on the kipper?!" Molli shouted to the team, hot on Sif's heels. "Ent twigged more gullybull sorts'n ah long while!"
 
"Gomen nasai, Rob-san," Aiko said, apologizing in her more delicate Yamataigo intonation that she was most accustomed to speaking. In truth, the princess wasn't that sorry for what she was about to do—Robert Englebert was creating weapons of war for the Star Empire's most mortal enemy, so he was himself a guilty man—but nonetheless felt some pity for needing to take care of someone so soft as him. "I cannot have you raising any alarms."

Her preemptive apology given, Aiko's right arm lashed out with a precise knifehand strike that bashed across Rob's neck and caused him to crumple over the control console he was standing beside. It was a measured blow, just enough to interrupt blood flow to his brain and knock the man out. And with that done, Aiko turned to follow Hoshi's orders and move out. It appeared her comrades had taken care of the other enemies who'd barged in on them, but the princess nonetheless kept her eyes sharp and her body poised for a fight while she dashed and darted through felled bodies on the way out.

"If you see weapons, now is the time to claim them," Aiko said, already aware one or two of the Kaiyō's away team had armed themselves after the previous fight. "Shall we take the same route out, Taisa?"
