[Adam's sitting at the top of a building, just watching the city stretch into the distance. The rushing headlights of cars, the shimmering buildings.]
I've never had a chance to see something like this before... are cities always this impressive when night falls?
[He seems to be hypnotized by the view, though its hard to tell with the faceplate he has on.]
I always thought humans were amazing for surviving everything they did in their history... I think I have another reason to think so after seeing this.

[Its a fight! There's enemies everywhere and Adam's backing you up. His machine takes bad hit to the side - staggering it. For a moment you hear a hiss of pain over the comms, but it seems to be stifled as the Halcyon charged at the enemy, letting loose an acrobatic leap at the last second - hooking its legs around the offending enemy and swinging it in a spinning arc into the ground - delivering several rapid kicks at any foes close by.]
They are ... quite numerous it seems...
[The machine - and its pilot unconciously brush at where the hit landed.]
How do you fare?

I don't understand the point of this...
[Adam is watching you cluelessly during your leisure time. Like a 'slow' puppy watching his owner relax and watch the game on the TV, he's trying to figure out what exactly are your reasons for doing this.]
[Whether it be Pinata building, just getting sloshed, watching a cheesy movie or playing video games or anything else - he will have absolutely no idea what's going on - despite your best efforts to get him involved.]
[Will you try to enlighten him?]

At one point, he gets a bit too deep and is surrounded by three of the enemy machines. They simultaneously swing down their blades, and he responds by raising his own sword above his head, blocking all three of them! The ground beneath him cracks, but his sword is alright, and so is he!
That won't be the case for long at this rate though.]
Shit...!
no subject
[Adam is distracted a moment by the sight and takes a bad hit - the Halcyon skids off the ground for a moment before it manages to kick back onto its feet... and carefully grasp its blade.]
...No...
[Another incantation and the Halcyon punches its hands forwards - several chains lashing out to grab at the blades - and the arms holding them and pull them away from Raiden - incidentally this left Adam open to several attacks - hurting him pretty badly in the process.]
Nngh.. Raiden. You must move!.. .Quickly!
no subject
[The damage Halcyon was taking meant that Raiden wouldn't have much time to act. Good thing his speed was nothing to scoff at.
He slashes off the legs of one of the machines that attacked him, then uses the falling torso to springboard towards the Halcyon. The first thing he does? Aim a lightning-covered kick through the cockpit of the closest enemy! That should give Adam some room to breathe, but the damage is already done.]
Dammit! Adam! How're you holding up?
no subject
[Injury may have been putting it lightly - the Halcyon's aforementioned arm is barely even there - massive chunks taken out of it to the point it wouldn't take very much to remove it completely. Adam's own voice was rather strained as well. Raiden may have the good fortune to have pain suppressors - but Adam on the other hand, for all his regenerative capabilities, still feels each and every blow.]
I am still combat capable, you haven't taken any damage?
no subject
That last parry ripped a good chunk of my artificial muscle fibers. But other than that, I'm fine.
I know what it's like not to have any pain suppression, and your machine makes you take the full brunt of it. If you can't continue, pull back.
no subject
[Adam was going to steady himself. If Raiden could handle it, so could he.]
no subject
Alright then.
Let's make use of what we've got. I know you don't want to use that sword, but you're still fast enough, and if you need it, I can cover for that missing arm of yours.
no subject
[Speed... He can do that. Within moments he's rushing through the enemy lines again, lacking one usable arm though he's concentrating solely on footwork - delivering bladed kick after kick as he could manage - vaulting over one opponent before sweeping both legs around it - decapitating its comrades before pulling it to the ground!]
