Juniper "Athena" Frakes's page

Athena charges forward, launching a second turret to her side, as she spins pressing her back against Road Block then glancing around the battle field.

Seeing Poise in danger, she raises her left arm as a splinter of drones forms together forming a large spear that lances out towards the Assassin.

Nexus Hunter Killers: 1d20 ⇒ 20
Crit Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6

Im moving forward to be aligned with Road Block, Vips following behind. Quick action to deploy my second turret in the marked square, and then follow it up with a skirmish from my main weapon. I lose an accuracy for the soft cover, but gain one back for being next to Road Block. Because of my Centimane Talent, Ten Thousand Teeth, on a crit my enemy needs to make a systems save or become impaired and slowed.

Athena charges forward, the drones on Voskos's shoulders begin reforming and compressing into a larger turret droid, that begins rotating its guns and leaps off Voskos's to a forward position.

"Alright Kopi, leaving the flock to you, keep the flanks clear."

The turret flairs to life, as small repulsors move the turret along the ground.

Moving forward with the VIP's behind me, Deploying a turret drone, then moving the turret drone, with Shepherd Protocol to the marked location.

Athena kicks Voskos into gear as the others move, crouching her Everest down close, and yelling through her speakers, "Alright boys let's roll out."

With a small jump, Voskos moves forward keeping pace with the now moving VIPS.

Standard move, and moving the VIPS forward along my right side.

Athena falls behind the others taking long moments to examine different areas of the ship. Realizing she was lagging behind, she sprints to catch up, nearly tripping as she passes the men playing the ball game. "Oh that might be fun."

Athena's eyes flash over the old VR system in front of her, before she slides in next to Jaq. Her eye flashes over the connectable systems around her before she finds the holorig, links in, and then lays her head back.

===

Athena slides into her mech, feeling instantly right at home. Kopi, in the form of a small bronze owl sits on a perch next to her. She mutters to herself impressed with the NHP's level of detail in the hologram. "Not bad Manifest, you even got my seat position right, no adjustments required."

She tunes in right as Road Block lays out the plan, "Message received, waiting on our Hammer's to engage. Prepping for Castle-Down Protocol until then."

Athena spins in her rig, flipping up three different switches as different aspects of the Voskos flair to life. The mech's left shoulder begins to hum to life as thousands of drones activate in a bright teal light. The right arm of the mech, opens slightly, the same drones, buzzing with a bright light. Athena leans back in her seat, and kicks her feet up on to her dash. "Sheep are awake Kopi, you know the drill, guide them home."

Athena quietly whispers to Kopi while kicking her legs up on to the corner of the table.

As Jaq begins her ramble, Athena examines her reflection in the datapad in her hand and fixes the shock of red hair on her head. She let her teammate go on for a few sentences while taking a few long sips of her coffee.

Athena waits for Jaq come to a natural pause before speaking up, "We all know how food gets made Jaq, my question was, how do you think the food is down there? And yeah we can cram a bunch of people in an airtight asteroid in the middle of deep space, but it has to still have a value in the end right? Whether its wealth, research, or just a home."

"Hold that thought." Athena swings her legs around and hops up at hearing Manifests offer. "That sounds truly great, anything to shake off months of Cryo-pod Crawlies. Any chance we could get a lunch when we get out?" Athena drops one hand to her stomach patting it lightly. "It has been a few months since we ate."

Athena is also a nerd, just more of the techy kind. She probably enjoys Jaq's rambles quite a bit. And I swear she's not food obsessed, just hungry after months on an empty stomach :'D

Cyropod Crawlies, every lancers worst wakeup.

Athena's left eye lights up a in soft green color as the data plays across her iris. She takes in the information while softly humming what seems to be a rather high energy song half jumping as Road Block slams down his slate. She scoops it up in her left arm and takes a quick glance at it before, standing up and grabbing her coffee in her right hand.

After a quick walk to the condiment bar she sets down the slate, and links to it by a small port that opens up along Athena's pointer finger in her left arm, a pristine silver cybernetic attached at the shoulder. She turns back to the group before making eye contact with Road Block and speaking clear enough for him to "You managed to pause it again while opening notes mode."

Athena turns back around to grab the creamer and pours a small amount in her coffee, then picks up the sugar shaker and sprinkles a bit in before speaking to her NHP, "Kopi, remind me later after my run to reconfigure pops UI again. He's still fat fingering it."

Her coffee properly sweetened, she walks back to the group, slamming down in her chair, and sliding the slate back across the table towards where Road Block was sitting. Catching up on conversation Athena jumps in, "Besides what use is currency when we can just print..." she throws her hands back gesturing at the room as a whole, "...all of this. What might be the better question to ask is, what is on the planet that is worth killing for? Land? A rare material? A backwater blood fued?" Athena leans back in her chair, takes a sip of her coffee, and spins her chair around once slowly, as Road Block begins speaking to Manifest.

As she re-aligns with the table, she slides down deep into her chair, taking another sip of coffee, and closing her eyes, before sitting back up, and saying, "I suppose there's no harm in getting a jump start on the work." She gestures with her left hand which pulls up AR schematics of the groups lances, and begins to break down the unique atmosphere of the planet, to take into account for the slight irregularities, their lances might encounter. After a few seconds she pauses scrolling through the schematics only for her stomach to gurgle. She let out a full laugh before looking at the others posing the most important question yet, "What do you think passes for a good meal down there? Can't imagine a lot of crops on a planet in constant cloud cover."

Yes please, link away!

1. Athena would also be comfortable being CO, but she would stumble trying to command her father and probably recognizes that so wouldn't step forward for it. However she would definitely think Roth would make a good CO. He's experienced and at the "calm headed" side of this group which seems to be a lot of hot heads.

2. My NHP, is June's first friend and teacher, who educated her in sciences and strategy at a young age. She reconstructed it from a ruined lancer on a battlefield, and hid it from her "squad". Its name is Glaukopis, but she calls them Kopi.

Some additional stuff

What is the relationship do our characters have with each other? Have we worked together or do we not know each other?

Also, Jaq, I liked general format for the personality profile you used in your stat block, mind if I use the idea for my own profile?

June steps out of her cyro coffin yawning loudly, before she dips down into a sharp squat. Stretching her legs to both sides, she then stands up and rolls her shoulders back. After completely her stretches, she looks to the Captain, then across to her lance's cryo coffin as they slowly rouse awake.

She takes a moment to gather herself scanning the room for danger, "Diverted? How long have we been under, and where the can I get a cup of coffee?"
