Mech pilot (Closed for The_Weeping_Angel )

[JonathanBair]

Jon is a 41 year old who started out as a mechanic in a scout unit for battle mechs with a unit that seamed to slowly get cut down to nothing. He did the online classes and got his spot as a pilot. Jon had been the only staff for about 2 months now till he got orders "Incoming staff". Jon was glad to see he would be getting a mechanic to work on his mech with him.... Jon could only hope it wouldn't be some fresh from boot camp and trade school... Jon got the stuff needed for the income staff, a mattress with stack of bedding and a pillow with cover in a stack waiting in the room.

Jon is 5'10 200 pounds solid body, with short brown hair that is about as tall as a finger is thick with blue eyes...

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

Walking into the base Laurel Yeung carried a duffel bag on her shoulder and some of the tools she need in a carring case in her hand. She also had a weapon on her hip, just in case shit hit the fan.

She hadn’t been told much other than the Pilots name was jon, or john, or was it joan? Whatever. And she’d get fed and he/she/they needed a mechanic. And an experienced one at that.

Turning to wave goodbye to the driver, she caught him staring at her ass. Not surprised since he’d adjusted the mirror twice to tray and see her tits. Poor kid probably had blueballs.

Whatever, he’d kept his hands to himself. Granted she’d peeled an apple with a knife the whole trip and that was currently tucked into her boots. She’d gotten a couple sets of fatigues to replace her own worn out clothing and some new boots.

She’d tried her best to stay away from mechs and just work on vehicles, but she’d tested so high that they’d dropped her in mech school and she’d finished at the head of her class. Fuck.

Stepping into the shade she looked around, her brown ponytail swishing as she did. Pulling off the sunglasses, her brown almond shaped eyes took in the repair bay and the mech. Sighing she hooked the glasses into her shirt and walked over to the only person she saw. And from the shape of the body and ass.. it was a guy.. so jon..or john.. however he spelled it.

“You John?” She asked.​

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon had a set of wrenches in his hand as he was checking the lines on the left foot of his mech... With hearing his name Jon stands up and turns around to see the new staff member. Jon pulls a rag from his front pocket and wipes his hands. Jon says "That is me, welcome to the mech shed. Do you happen to have your orders with you by chance?"

Jon is glad she is young but dose not seam to be some newbie.

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

Putting her gear down Laurel opened the duffel bag side zipper and pulled the orders out handing them over as she appraised the pilot. Older. Had to be good or he’d have died a decade ago.

“Yeung, Laurel, Sergeant.” She said, hooking her tags with her thumb and dangling them in the air. “And if you break those hydraulic lines, I’ll break you for adding to the work load.”
​

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon smiles and says "Well now I will leave this up to you to keep it running for me. By the way I am Lt Cobalt, but please call me Jon..." Jon peaks at the order to see it looks right, then says "Want me to show you to your bunk room or mess hall first?"

Jon wants to be friendly, but not to friendly. Till he gets a feel for who is servicing his mech....

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

Looking down at her duffel bag she said, “Bunk First, so I’m not carrying this anymore than I have to. Then food.”

Shoving her tools over to the mech’s foot she hoped he’d get the hint and stop fucking it up. Then she tossed the duffel back over her shoulder and shifted it’s weight until it wasn’t rubbing anywhere it would hurt.

“How many people are here? What’s the living situation? Who cooks? Shower rotation? Guard rotation?”​

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon smiled and said "Very well fallow me." Jon turned a 180 and headed away to the back wall of the mech bay then down a hall. Jon said "We are now the only two staff to the mech shed. This shed should have 20 scout class mech's tho you are the first replacement I got from when I was a mechanic about 10 years like you. We had a cook for are shed back then, but he got moved into the main base to help feed the grunts." Jon stops and says "This is your room on the left of the hall and mine is on the right side." Jon extends his hand into her room. Jon says "As it is just us, shower when you want to, I like to about noon after a morning work out and physical training. For Guard rotation there a company of infantry. We can cook in are own shed mess hall tho often I just eat with the grunts."

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

As she moved past him and into the vacant room she realized he was at least a foot taller and probably a hundred heavier than her. Though most looked like muscle.

Dropping her bag on the bed she looked at the room, it was big enough for four people each and had the beds to prove it. But only one had bedding, she’d make it later before she fell asleep.

“Cool,” she said. “Any plans for more staff or just you and me until further notice?”

The planet was roughly earth type so it had seasons but… “What’s the weather like? Normally?” She asked, though she could have just checked the computer for the weather analysis.
​

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon smiles and says I should be leading a squad of pilots that should be 8 mechs, and there support staff. This planet seams to been skipped by the replacement train. As I said you are my firs under my command. For the weather it is mostly sub tropical. When it rains it comes down hard and fast, otherwise hot and sunny. There is a lake tho it is the base emergency water supply and sadly no real beach. Just a hole dug into rock in the rear of the base. Fallow me, I will show you the mess halls. Tho as I said we no longer have are own cook, so it might just be better to eat with the grunts or we cook for are selfs.' Jon start to walk down to the end of the hallway with 19 other doors we walk past till we walk into a door in front of me. It is a basic mess hall. 40 large tables folded up in a A shape and a counter in the fall room with a kitchen. I say "In the kitchen I keep a batch of instant coffee and some frozen food to make a pasta with veggies and meat meal. Tho I do not really use them. Just keep them on hand in case I want to eat something late at night with out going to the grunts mess hall where I do eat."

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

“Sub-tropical. So hot and humid 90% of the time. Awesome.” Laurel sighed. “At least I can work on my tan. And I hope the air conditioners work, at least in the bedrooms.”

“I don’t feel like cooking in any heat, so I don’t mind walking to eat chow. Any females over with the grunts?” She asked looking at him from the side. He was kinda handsome, maybe… after a shower.

“How often does the mech go out?”​

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon nods in confirmation to the humidity, and when she mentions her tan Jon smirks and nods and nods about the air conditioners. Jon let out a good chuckle to her not wanting to cook. When she asks about other females from the grunts Jon rubs his chin for a sec and said "Well I know there is a doctor and a few other of the troops. They are mostly young so I stay away from the greenhorns. I have no clue what there jobs other then the one that is a doc as once the checked my back out when I was working on my mech... As far how often do I take the mech out. I try 2 times a day doing a scouting loop around the base. Tho it has been a long while from last time we seen any action. There is a few roaming bans of locals that sometime will take stuff they can run off. that is up to the grunts to worry about tho. I just radio into base command if I see them... *Jon sighs* This is really a out of the way place now a days. If you do not keep doing the basics you will go nuts. Like my morning training, then lunch and I do a loop, inspection then paper work, loop again then dinner time." Jon looks at her to see a reaction to his day.

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

Nodding Laurel looked at him “I’ll be joining for the workout and training. And while your on your last loop I’ll grab a shower.”

“If I ever wake up to you jerking it, or catch you watching me shower.. I’ll cut it off and shove it up your ass. I had to deal with that shit in basic and I ain’t playing nice about it no more.”

“If any under garments come up missing, I’ll cut it off.”
​

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon smiles and says "I came up from the ranks so I am really relaxed but I am your CO.*takes a harder tone* I can and will throw your ass in the brig if you fuck around. Do I make my self clear Sargent!"

Jon hopes this bit of him pulling rank will keep her in check. Sure he will let her get off with some stuff, but end of the day he needs to keep command.

Jon then says good to know when you will shower. I do not see any problems with working it out... Jon thinks to him self this is a clear sign of there age gap, he is way past horny frat boy pranks like that.

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

“Of course, Commander,” She replied. “But I did state my warning, and that goes if I catch any of the grunts over here as well.”

“So what’s first on the repair list,” she asked, heading back down the hall towards the repair bay. “Just maintenance or a repair?”

With her boots hitting the floor in a steady rhythm her ass swayed lightly showing the edge of those ‘under garments’ beneath the snug pants she wore. Measuring in at 34B-35-33, at 5’4” and 110 pounds he could probably throw her through a wall or across the bay if he wanted. And if really wanted to he could easily force her. If she didn’t stab him in the attempt.​

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon smiles and says with a nod for her to lead the way "Well the grunts stay away from the mechanical group. Be it Mech staff or transportation folks.....and there ass can end up in the same brig just as fast if they fuck with my command. If there is a problem, you come to me. No hotshot stuff got it???? Now as to your question about what there is to do. Just the basic, check the connections and the fluid, we should have a good month before we gotta change fluids. I liked to keep up on all the stuff. Starting out like you that was my job for years before I got my bars...." As Jon fallowed her he did note she was very much a woman. He did try not to look to much but being a male he couldn't help but to take few peaks and admire the view discreetly. As they walked after a few steps Jon says "After we check the mech, want to grab some food or hit the shower?"

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

“Food first. The food on the flight was shit and sparse.” Laurel told him. “And I’ll need the spec book on this model and configuration.”

Rocking her head back and forth and then rolling it a little she could feel it popping. “Couldn’t sleep for shit on the flight.”

“You married? Kids? Family?” she asked as they walked across the bay heading for the door.
​

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon smirks hearing about the crappy food and the hard time sleeping on the move.... Jon asks "MRE or normal transport hydrated meals in a tin? You will learn how to shut your mind off and nap in a blink of a eye if you ever get long range deployment. Even the grunts will pick that skill up if they stay outside of the wire for a long time..... As for family, I am a lifer, if the service wanted me to have a girlfriend they would have given me one in boot camp. What about you?" Jon takes a sec then asks "Do you want to get the book on the mech's today or wait for tomorrow? As just about anyone who knows how work a wrench and has eyes can do what we will be doing today. I would be glad to help you study if you want."

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

Clenching her jaw hard for a moment she ground her teeth before calming her mind and speaking. “Families Dead. Clan’s dead.”

“I’ll need the book after shift so I can read until I sleep.” She told him. “If I have questions I’ll ask. No reason to do something twice when I can do it right the first time, even asking questions.”

“Any wildlife we need to worry about? Other than the raiders you mentioned. And will I be issued a rifle for just in case?”
​

 

[JonathanBair]

jon says "No real wild life that could be harmful that comes near the base, sure there is some big cat like things.Tho we never had them inside the base once the base was made. They did come into the area while we set up the base. Even if you are tanning you should be safe. The nomads only really seam to mess with the perimeter. At most a side arm might be worn if you go out of the base. Inside the base should not be needed, but I can get you both a rifle and side arm for you. I keep my rifle in my room secure and my side arm was kept in my tool box now in my mech.... My door is always open if you have questions or complaints. When do you plan to tan?" Jon says with a moment with a softer tone "Aw yes we all lost brothers and sisters that had seen some action..."

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

“I’ve got a sidearm, but a rifle would be nice so I can get in target practice on the big cats if they come near the fence. And maybe some small game for a different protein source once in a while.”

“Tanning.. well if there’s roof access early morning before it gets to hot, and I get heat stroke.”

“If there’s not any roof access it will be where ever there’s a secluded area that gets sunlight. I don’t want any grunts from the main grabbing binoc’s and watching me.”​

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon smiles and says "A hunting trip now and then can be a good team building thing. We will do it in a few days. First thing tomorrow I will want you to focus more on reading the books. The best place for you to tan will be at the lake. I will cover your six while you relax any questions? *In a fatherly kind of tone* And before you get hot headed about it, I want to be there to watch over you not to watch you just to make my self clear...."

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

“Guess I’m wearing a bikini then,” she sighed looking at him. “Once I get to know you, I might go topless.”

“And I always have questions. How many manuals you got for the mech? Anything break down more often than it should? Anything living in the lake? I might swim if it’s safe.”​

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon smiles and say "topless or not, if it is your off time then how ever you want. For the Manuals there is a few. Two for the mech then what ever the load out for each kind of weapon. Nothing in the lake as it is made to be drained if shit hits the fan. No one really goes near it as they basically gotta go threw are area or the mortar pool.. Only place you will really need to worry about the grunts is the mess hall or med bay or we go into the common area. Oh ya keep the manuals in the hanger or the room or are mess hall... We can not risk anyone that dose not need to know how they work after all."

 

[The_Weeping_Angel]

“Yeah, I know about manual safety. They won’t leave the hanger building.” She said as she walked. The shuttle was so cramped I couldn’t move for like five hours. Walking and stretching feels good.”

As the entered the building she could feel the cold air hit her before they turned down a hallway and then entered the chow hall.

And a couple dozen eyes locked on her, staring. Only a few of the people looking at her were worth looking at, everyone else was plain, ugly, or looked like they’d slice her throat.

“Yeah, I expected this.” She said heading for the food line.​

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon pats her on her back saying "New kid in school, we all get that look now as a new face is rare... Just remember most of the males would jump your bones in a heart beat if you let them. And if they lay a finger on your head so help me... Also keep in mind, we are a team. Be it in the base or if we are traveling to set up a foreword base. We gotta watch each other back as you keep me alive, and I will always watch over you."
