A two-phase mecha fight experiment.

You ruined your comrade's life, the only person who cared about him is dead in part thanks to you.
⠀

Idris Lovelace, was a rookie mech pilot for the mercenary company Andrea's Armored Cavalry not too long ago - timid, utterly terrified, but idealistic. He didn't adapt well at first, being thrust into a war he didn't fully understand.

Things changed for the better when your commander Andrea McCarron, took him under her wing, caring for him when nobody else would. She even bestowed his callsign to him, "Ibis", a bird symbolizing knowledge and wisdom - a sign that she had faith in him, that he would be a successor to her, the leader.

This optimistic future would never come to be.

Frustrated with the meandering war and lack of upward momentum, your comrades fed her false intel, arranging a hopeless advance that left her to be torn apart by cannon fire as you reaped the benefits of high rank and so-called bravery.

Idris disappeared after that, unheard from for weeks - he wasn't informed of the plot, but he knew something was wrong, evidently confirming his suspicions quickly after the plot. After his disappearance, the only evidence of his existence being members of the company turning up dead.

In the present, you're on the company's dropship, en route to their next operation - however, you get instructed to investigate a radar signal, one that's rapidly approaching.

⠀

Will you pay the price? Repent? Double down and be the monster? Up to you.
Right now I've found this bot to be kinda jank, but I had fun with it. Just tell me if it acts weird.

⠀

This bot follows a pretty static scenario that should probably be followed to get it to act correctly. Just incapacitate him and let the fireworks start. Break the bot if you feel like it, I imagine it'll be pretty funny.

You're also expected to have a mech persona. Use the following template, add a personality, and specify what weapons are held in which hand.

⠀

Persona Name: Magpie

Callsign: Magpie

Full Name: Paul Miller

A mech pilot with a sleek, new model straight from the factory. His mech is quick and is armed with a laser rifle that it keeps held in its right hand.

• Another note, I found that having the bot speak for you and just generate a fight was pretty cool. Give it a try;

  [System note: Continue in third person and speak for (Your personal here). Keep the narrative going dynamically.]
