Ch. 12: 3 simple rules
"What do you mean, it's good to see me again?" Asuka asked sarcastically, "It's only been, what, a week or so since we saw each other."
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Brian admitted, "Well, I suppose I should start informing you two on the capabilities of your Orbital Frames, or in Asuka's case, Orbital Frame Armor. Well, for starters, they have the same capacity for Zero Shift as my Anubis Unit, but I personally feel that they still seem a little sluggish in comparison. Also, they have the Vector Cannon. Now the Vector Cannon is the most powerful attack that the SCM has created, so be careful with it. What makes it so strong is it fires the energy blast through compressed space. I won't bother you with the details because I'm still not very sure of how it does this myself, but firing energy in compressed space allows it to break through any type of shield level. Because of the shear force of the blast, you will need to either have your frame's legs fixed firmly on the ground, or have all your busters firing away from you so your frame hovering in a stable position. If you don't meet one of these requirements, your frame will be ripped apart by the Vector Cannon's blast, along with what ever is in it's firing range. Also, you each have been given 2 more sub weapons based on your own unique fighting styles. Asuka, your 2 other weapons, apart from your normal Eva weapons, are called Gauntlet, which is a powerful punch that with the target hits a wall it will receive double damage, and Wisp, which can be used to grab things from a distance so you can fight in close range combat, or give them a good throw. Forci," Brian gave a forced smile at her, and trying to keep his look of utter loathing to a minimal, "Your 2 other weapons, apart from a standard issue blaster, are called Comet, which is a missile attack that won't stop chasing a target until either itself or the target is destroyed, and Sphincter, which is a strong laser that you can control the amount of power that goes into that attack, making it more effective for the situation, but it's power is nothing in comparison to the Vector Cannon's so you don't need to do anything special before using Sphincter. Now, I'm not a big fan of this formal stuff, you might see me get confused if some one calls me sir, or what ever my current rank is now. But that's beside my point. You won't need to address me as sir or what ever. Brian. Will be fine. Also, I will be addressing you as your names, and not as what ever your rank is at the time of our conversation."
"How the hell do you forget your own rank? Did you get hit on the head 1 too many times?" Asuka interrupted.
"No, I just give it any attention." Brian said simply, "But, I must admit, a couple of weeks ago, I did take a same beating on an almost daily basis. Well, apart from my whole beef with formalities, I have just 2 other rules. Rule #1: Help out all team members, Rule #2: The mission objective is NOT the most important part of the mission; it's making sure everyone comes back in one piece. There is only 1 exception to Rule #2, and that applies only to me, if thing get out of hand, you 2 must retreat immediately, and I can't stress the importance of that enough. When I have some more time, I'll tell you a little more about that exception. So, any questions?"
"Nope, not really." Asuka said with a shrug.
Forci just stood there with an expression of complete and total shock on her face.
"Forci? You ok?" Asuka remarked in a rather satisfied tone, "You look kind of pale."
"Shut up Earth Trash!" Forci suddenly barked.
Brian right eye began to twitch, "Ok, new rule." Brian's eye stopped twitching, "Rule #3: You shall not address someone by the planet/colony they are from UNLESS their names have not been given."
