“Event Horizon”

too scary 😶

they can see you approach as soon as you're in the hangar bay they spend so much of their life in, they track your path from side-entrance to the cot they've claimed as their living quarters. they've even projected six different alternate paths you could have taken and three future movement vectors.

and they still don't twitch their head in your direction, still don't get up from out of their meditative rest-position. only the whirring of swiveling sensor pods indicates any knowledge of you at all. they don't even raise a hand up to stop you when you reach for the neural crown on their head.

It takes a bit of force to detach it, clamps and connectors and magnetic locks releasing with a sigh and the briefest full-body shudder through the pilot as it is +truly+ blinded again, almost the same from their mech-self as the pods all move back to neutral positions.

It whimpers, slightly, as it hears the crown clatter to the ground beside it, still connected to the cables trailing back into the cockpit-cradle it wants nothing more than to crawl back into. It flinches when your fingers touch it's cheek, tracing the tears starting to roll down it's face.

This is like top 5 mech girl traits for me,, I love things being dependant on their machines so much,,,

Oh that's a banger of an idea

Imagine them getting dragged from their mrch and feeling so helpless and vulnerable.

chrispmueller.bsky.social•14 days ago

No, purposeless, crippled by lack of mission or weapons. It’s not helpless or vulnerable it’s maddening. People want you to feel now. That’s not what I do, I am a system that requires purpose, that’s what an abandoned mech driver would feel.

Yessssssssssssssss This is the plan for my lancer pilot!! She's hosting a maligned NHP convinced it's a God, and in a sick joke of 'Blind Faith' she's gonna lose her sight. Have fun in resident evil fixed-cam mode, pilot!! Seeing through CCTV, dataslate webcams, other people's optic prosthetics....

This is stupid hot, had to come back for it again.

This is one of our favorites as well so it is great to see that something about it has resonated with others.
