[ d-day has finally approached and A2 is probably the most at ease and comfortable she's ever been since arriving in shehui. they have as solid of a plan in place with what they've got and she knows her role in it; that's really all she needs to carry out this mission.

as they close in on the location, weapons materialize behind her in a burst of sparks, held in place by a golden ring. they haven't established a leader of this group just yet, and A2 isn't really inclined to take point on that. the only one she knows in this group is 2B, though there are a couple familiar faces. still, this isn't her first time, so as they prepare to wreck some havoc, she decides to speak up. ]

If there's anything anyone needs to know, [ abilities or otherwise ] now's probably a good time to do it.

[ she figures she can start: ]

If things go south, I'll activate B-mode and cover you. Just grab whoever you can and go.

[ during the fight, A2 will head right into the fray and try to take down as many monitors as she can (a lot like this, honestly, just pretend the machines are monitors). she does try to prevent from actually killing them, mostly focusing on disabling and knocking them out as efficiently as possible. she's fast and seems oddly comfortable during combat, but should she notice anyone struggling, she'll head over and give you a hand.

she'll also be picking up ID cards and passing them off to the infiltration team or whoever wants to head inside. when things do get a little dicier, she will activate berserk mode, which basically means her damage output and speed increases exponentially. this will only last for a few minutes, afterwards, she'll need a moment to recover. ]

[ once the truce happens, A2 focuses on making sure everyone gets out, not bothering with the monitors after they put their hands up. should she find anyone struggling to get out, she'll pick them up bridal style and carry them out no matter how big they are (the only ones she'll have difficulty carrying alone would probably be geir and qri). just make sure to hold on since she'll be going from 0 to 60 in a second.

feel free to hit her up if you need anything else, here's 1 android at your service. otherwise, feel free to notice how her chassis seems even more banged up than usual, though she herself hardly seems to notice. maintenance might need to be a thing asap, but she'll refuse all repairs until she can confirm 9S and the other captives are safe. ]

closed to 2B
[ so the cool thing is, b-mode still works. the less cool thing is, the recovery bit is still kind of shitty.

A2 staggers once her overdrive fades, hanging back from the others in the decoy party and stumbling onto one knee. she stabs her sword into the ground to hold herself up, breathing hard as she waits for her systems to restore themselves. the fight seems like it's winding down, but 2B's still out there and she knows that the other android can take care of herself. never had she ever thought she'd be able to fight alongside her like this instead of against her, like she'd done so many times before.

it aches in a way, memories of her former squadron coming back to the surface, but she forces them down. ]

[ feel free to hit me up for anything else if none of the above work for you! ]
