[RFC] A Blackbird for the children - Black Aeronaut - 05-22-2012
Inspired by a Nightwish song...
Quote:6:30 winter mornWhen Benjamin was awakening an AI at 36 Atalante this song happened to come up in iPod's rotation and Eva Nightwish was born. Equipped to a modified Blackbird-class aerospace frame, she has made it her personal mission to save as many lost children as possible, wherever they may be, whatever their circumstances.
Snow keeps falling, silent dawn
A rose by any other name
Eva leaves her Swanbrook home.
A kindest heart which always made
Me ashamed of my own.
She walks alone but not without her name.
Eva flies away,
Dreams the world far away.
In this cruel children's game
There's no friend to call her name.
Eva sails away,
Dreams the world far away.
The Good in her will be my sunflower field.
Mocked by man to depths of shame
Little girl with life ahead.
For a memory of one kind word
She would stay among the beasts.
Time for one more daring dream
Before her escape,
Edenbeam we kill with her own loving heart.
Eva flies away,
Dreams the world far away.
In this cruel children's game
There's no friend to call her name.
Eva sails away,
Dreams the world far away.
The Good in her will be my sunflower field.
The Obtenebrated Angel is a normal Blackbird only at first glance. If one were to look carefully, they would notice she only has ports for a single point-defense gun and only a half-sized VLS module. Oddly enough, however, she has a pair of anti-personnel miniguns firing 7.62mm caseless ammunition located in the chinaries in place of the usual 40mm coil guns. Inside, she is one part ambulance and one part school bus.
While she knows that she can't save every child out there, she will go after the most dire cases or even children that have somehow managed to biomod themselves and find themselves ostracized for it. These children are usually taken to whatever child-friendly faction will have them (the Senshi are usually pretty quick to take in children with their love and justice motif), but some 'special cases' are taken to 36 Atalante where they usually become Roughriders.
Eva's mission has taken her into some fairly dangerous places, but her most daring escapade was when she came under fire from pirates in Somalia when she evacuated an entire orphanage. She would later refuse having any kill marks applied.
Thoughts?

She will need a small crew to get the children inside, right?

I was thinking that she had AC Peter's cook up a puppet body for her. As for assistants... Hrm... Need something suitably goofy and smacking of SCIENCE... Oh! How about Atlas and Peabody?

How about Atlas and Peabody?*snicker* yes, that might work. With waved portal guns that do some crazy slapstick effect style death beam on the targets!
we should add some quotes from Glados: "I know I lost something, but I cannot remember what it was..."
(edit)
When was Eva awaken?
- Dartz - 05-22-2012
First thought...... Shinji and Eva?
Second thought. At any one moment there may be millions of children 'in trouble' at once. How does Eva decide?

I would expect a) degree of danger the child is actually in vs B) how long to effect rescue.
Hear that thunder rolling till it seems to split the sky?
That's every ship in Grayson's Navy taking up the cry-
NO QUARTER!!!

And (most likely) some unknown waved based random factors...

Besides... I don't know much about Sherman and Peabody.

If Eva plans to rescue childs from crisis areas like Somalia, having some robots has advantages.
CI would sponsor a forcefield system for Atlas and Peabody if Eva wants it.
