"War creates jobs. PMCs, arms manufacturers, all those workers spending money and paying taxes. Not that I expect you to get the message!" Seeing the incoming attack from the ship, the mecha turned it's head, using the plasma cannons to blow the projectiles out of the air. The hologram of Armstrong fizzled out, and the mechanical beast roared, raising its pincer like blades, each roughly half the size of a football pitch. It brought one slamming down, forcing the group to scatter.
Group One: Emily, Gwen, Doomguy, Knife's guy, Roland
Group Two: Seras, Joel, Shara, Samus
Group One Go!
