To her surprise, she heard the same engine come back and land. ![]() She perked up as she heard an aircraft fly over, hoping it would kill her and she was disappointed when it didn’t. She stared hard at the rock in front of her, wishing for laser vision or something similar so she could get herself unstuck. Stuck here for the next hour doing nothing. She huffed her mechanical tendrils trying and failing to push her off the rocks. (Yeah AI tanks are better than you think, the long matches are great for devising plans of attack and such.) Of course given the type of match this one no one dared risk trying to help her or kill her for fear of getting stuck themselves. So she just had to wait for the match to end in 67 minutes. Even worse she had been trapped by the rocks at the bottom making it impossible for her to move. Aura had not been on this map in a while and had slid down a rock cliff and flipped onto her side. This map had been a free for all, seeing who could last the longest. AI aircraft would watch them, sometimes bombing or strafing while they fought up in the air. They often would load a map and do races, or all out battles to the death until there was one AI left standing. When they had a break though, during server upgrades, or just plain having a break, they were just like any living creature. During player events they had scripted places to and where to shoot. She was owned by no person, rather an AI. ![]() Her name, what she called herself, was Aura.
