Occupation: Mech Pilot|Location: Mission #1

"You got it. Moving to location," Ivy answered.

With a steady motion, Ivy directed her mech to the back of the building to block off any escape the enemy would make. Every so often she would look at her multiple monitors to see where Ron was. So far, Ron was doing well for his first mission in battle even with that small hiccup at the beginning of it. Ivy could tell Ron was a more sensitive man. A quality she preferred and was attracted to when she was younger and first met her husband. As she moved to the location, a slight frown appeared when glancing at Ron's mech on her monitor. The longer he fought, the more he would be desensitized to things and events that should be mourned over.

Ivy and Ron parked their mechs in position and waited for both a command and anything to happen outside. For the next few minutes, Ivy could briefly relax. She let out a single, long breath and stretched her arms over her head, hearing that typical 'pop' from her joints waking up.

"Hmm? Wrong for? Oh..." Ivy pressed her lips tightly. "You don't ever think about right and wrong in battle. You do as command and do whatever it takes to survive-"

Ivy shifted into position as the insurgents rushed out the building, stopping instantly when seeing Ron and her. While Ron hesitated and got himself shot by a rocket, Ivy stepped up and aimed her gun waiting for any insurgent to aim a rocket at her. Thankfully, Ron's shield saved him from an instant death, but the explosion caused her partner to respond with a cannon blast from him.

Ivy watched almost emotionless as the group was torn and vaporized apart by Ron's cannon, the deathly screams able to pierce through the metal of her mech and into her cockpit. This type of scream took some time to get use to. Ivy could barely keep from blinking and turning her head away from the last sounds the men would ever make.

"...I thought I was 100% ready to return," Ivy mumbled to herself as her eyes gazed over the bodies of the men. "I still have the mindset of a civilian..."

It only took a new group of insurgents to snap Ivy out when more of them ran out the building. She pointed up her gun and started firing at them, avoiding any return fire.

"Ron! Ron get in the game!" she shouted, noticing Ron's mech standing there unresponsive. "Don't let them kill you easily!"
