Arrivals [Action]

A semi-truck pulled up outside the main entrance of Fort Alhambra. The driver, a powerfully built bearded man, leaned out of the window and peered up at the fort. After a moment, he rolled the window back up and got out, ambling unhurriedly over to the security gate so he could talk to the guard about a visitor's pass or something.

As Unity Group had no scheduled meeting with a fellow named Njall Erlandson, his request for entry took it's sweet time working it's way up the chain of command, but he had no problem waiting. Anyone entering or exiting the base could find him sitting against the wheel of his truck (Now parked safely out of the way of traffic.), with his hands behind his head as he stared at the scattered clouds drifting across the sky, apparently lost in his own thoughts.

[Later, after he presumably was allowed into the RP, ICly, there was a video post!]

Hello, Unity Group. Took a bit of work, but I've gotten signed on as part of your merry band.

Call me Njall.

"It's an old Scandinavian name."

He shrugged.

"I was never a big Errol Flynn fan, anyways."

[fire_dancer]

"Fair enough, he was at least able to do an accent unlike some other actors. Still welcome, so you a pilot? Mechanic? Or something else?"

[modern_ancient]

"Pilot is close. I'm a fighter, at least."

But he wants to back up a bit. "Why did you bring up Robin Hood?"

[fire_dancer]

"You made the merry band comment. I figured you were making a joke. Fighter huh? Well we need all kinds you can't expect to do everything in mecha either, right?"

[modern_ancient]

"Indeed you cannot. Mecha are mighty weapons, to be sure, but they are not suitable for every battle."

[fire_dancer]

"My own machine is early a way of scaling my own abilities up to work on that level of size honestly. If your looking to train I'd be happy to. You strike me as someone that is either in my league or might be above it."

[modern_ancient]

"Oh yes?"

He looks mildly interested in this description.

"I like to imagine there's only one other man in my league, but that's probably just bravado talking. If you're interested, though, I could probably give you a bit of a spar."

[fire_dancer]

"Maybe, or maybe not. If your a bigger fish than I am I'd not object to that either. good to know I have room to get better in that regard."

[modern_ancient]

With a thoughtful look, he declared "There probably is room for you to grow. What is it you do, Raquel?"

[fire_dancer]

"I'm a martial artist a fighter, been learning to fight since I started walking and talking honestly. I'm here because of my ability to channel my ki and combined that with my skills I'm resting a motion control system. Test pilot and combatant. I do suspect I may end up getting involved in on foot operations too. Given all my machine does is just scale me up."

[modern_ancient]

"I guess you could say I'm in more or less in the same position. Sort of."

You know that feeling when you can't exactly find the right word to describe what you're trying to say?
