Zoid Fire Phoenix
Crystal was leaning back relaxing in the cockpit of the Fire Phoenix and letting the autopilot do the work of crossing Zi's main continent, when almost every warning light in cockpit lit up. She grabbed the controls and killed the autopilot with a thumb button on the left grip. After stabilizing the Phoenix's flight path, Crystal assessed the damage. The elevator controls and rudders weren't responding - meaning she had almost no control of her zoid at all.
She then switched on as many of the back up flight control systems as she could. Using the Zoid's head she was able to regain some control by sacrificing speed. Then she panicked.
"What hit us!!" she screamed hysterically. The Zoid's external cameras began to replay on the monitors usually used for combat data.
She watched for several seconds and saw the static discharge, from the storm clouds she obviously wasn't flying high enough above, hit the Phoenix's tail feathers. After freezing the recording and examining the damage to the Zoid Crystal finally muttered "Well lets find a place to wait out this storm and call for help." The Zoid screeched in slightly pained agreement and brought up a hologram of a nearby abandoned military installation. "This should be fun," Crystal commented with sarcasm. Then she began the tedious process of activating the roof doors on the base hanger from remote, while muttering a prayer that the base still had power. The doors began to open, responding to and old Helic Republic override command. Then her Zoid's whole cockpit lit up as the base's perimeter turrets detected her. "Now what," she muttered, then she let out a panicked squeak as the guns began to fire and her Zoid closed it's wings to drop beneath the barrage. She remained in the dive until she reached an altitude that the guns couldn't fire into - the space directly above the bay doors.
The Phoenix's wings suddenly opened again just in time to slow it's landing from a crash to something slightly more controlled. Crystal hit the override for the doors again and passed out...
Once more no I won't tell what's going on until I want to.
