There's a mech mechanic, so curious about the mechs

She sees how the pilots are always so... exhilarated after a combat sortie

And there's this unused spare mech on the end of the hanger.

Their pilot died a few months back, horrible accident

And now that mech has been sitting alone ever since. Not enough pilots on staff.

But the mechanic goes over to it, late one night.

She has one of the training headbands in one hand, the ones trainee pilots use before they get fully integrated and synchronized with their mech.

She puts one hand on the cold, steel chassis, and quietly whispers, almost inaudible in the empty hanger.

"May I?"

And there's such a long, long silence

Until the control panel in front of her lights up a single green light.

The mechanic climbs up, up, up, and into the cockpit, hands trembling, butterflies in her stomach

She eases into the cockpit, places the headband on her head

The mech starts up, and it's like the world has lit up

The training headbands only provide maybe a fraction of what it feels like to truly pilot a mech

And even this? Is almost enough to make her head spin.

The mech slowly, perhaps a bit awkwardly, walks to the training grounds.

Perhaps some of the other staff onsite see it go. They let it.

The mech arrives at the training grounds.

Targets 3 stories tall loom in the night

Was the giant rifle always in her hand? Did she pick it up?

The mechanic isn't sure.

Her heart is pounding.

She raises the rifle, takes a moment to steady her aim

And a steel finger weighing two tons squeezes the trigger

The mechanic's brain lights up with a dizzying rush of hormones, endorphins, a thousand happy chemicals as the target is shredded by the heaviest of heavy artillery fire

And yes, she instantly cums in her coveralls.

This is how it feels?

This 1/100th simulation of actually piloting, feels this good???

The cockpit seems to get smaller, comfier around her, as if the mech is sighing in relief

The next morning, the mechanic puts in for a career change.

To pilot.

unrelatedly to anything else.

seven has agoraphobia from growing up on one of the industrial moons that is a) heavily populated and b) heavily polluted. after she escapes the corp and then frees Mech, Mech would very much like to Leave - listen, with their skills combined? easily done. they could piggyback onto any standard freighter, hide in the cargo bay, be Gone gone. they could even steal a smaller one, forge the caravan credentials, go anywhere else - but it stays. because she is both actually so fucking terrified of Leaving and also staying essentially directly under the corp means it won't find her. but she's not really living, either. this non-solution can't last forever - and it won't.

imo a mech shouldn’t have to *move* independently to count, but it should be capable of *acting* independently— otherwise how could it kill anyone?

This brings on an interesting thought actually.

On that basis, If everything was done solely on acting independent then plenty killer robots wouldn't be able to apply. Wheatly portal only became killer due to the same programing that was upping Glados's agression. Some of these are robots following orders or working under rules or control, but are no less active in killing/attempted killings.

So I guess I was using move because I am removing the human aspect from it Moving without a human behind the wheel, hence why cyborgs were discluded from the competition.

Nastya in a tank top covered in machine oil and maybe sweat please and thank you

gay people in my tumblr inbox

ID: A digital drawing of Nastya Rasputina from The Mechanisms leaning in an engine room, exhausted, wiping sweat and machine oil from her forehead. Nastya is a toned blueish-grey skinned woman with very visible dark veins, and short brown hair dyed blue at the tips. She wears crooked glasses, a tank top, and baggy brown cargo pants, all smudged with oil or stained with sweat. In the hand that hangs by her side, Nastya holds a rag covered with oil. The drawing is colored mostly in shades of blue, save for the browns in Nastya’s hair and pants. She’s lit by a bright cyan light coming from an unknown source off to the side. End ID.

Round 3 Part 4 Poll 2

Propaganda

Ed's a master tactician! He's a terrible flirt! He's got the eyes, the beard, the fit, and the sexy lil voice! Tummy and arm! He's gay and has daddy issues! What more could you want from a man???

Jonny's the self-proclaimed captain of the starship Aurora (though everyone else calls him the first mate), and one of the lead singers in The Mechanisms, a spacefaring cabaret of immortal pirates with lovely voices and extremely gray morals. He hails from New Texas, he's got a heart made of metal, and he likes to play the harmonica and shoot things.

Thinkin' about a pair of mech pilots, fresh from a successful combat sortie, both fulla hormones from how synchronized they are with their respective mechs.

They usually wait until they're back at base to jump each other's bones, but today was just too good. Before either of them can really think about it, one mech is already kneeling between the spread legs of the other mech…

Sadly, for all their wonders and equipment, making them anatomically accurate in terms of genitalia was one thing the scientists and engineers failed to think of, so several thousand tons of smooth steel are rubbing together while the pilots get more and more frustrated and pent up, humping into the nanite fluid in the cockpit.

Meanwhile, the bridge crew back at base is trying to figure out whether it would be worth it trying to get them to stop friction-damaging their chassis.

If you have a mythology, congrats its mechanisms now

Everything is a mechanisms reference, you're gay? Mechanisms refrence

More gay people

The ship goes into the sun, everyone dies this may happen more than once I don't know

The Ship x Engineer Yuri gets broken up tragically

Seriously forgetting trans people exist causes more problems then you'd think
