As Bluesky and the Imperials line up on opposite sides of the field, everything seems to be going great. It's a bright, sunny day, and everyone seems to be adjusting to their mechs okay. Even Juliet has been oddly chipper recently. As the main team prepares to begin their game, Janet's been getting training for her mech away from the group, with Casey. Casey is calling out simple instructions and double checking the calibration of Juliet's machine. Though it seems there's a problem.
"Put yer left leg in!" Casey shouts, hands cupped over her mouth- Probably more for the benefit of the techs who are helping her with the calibration than for Juliet's sake. "Left leg! In!"
Juliet doesn't respond- At all. Casey takes a step forward. "Can ya hear me in there? Or's somethin' in there messed up?"
There's a moment of quiet...before Juliet's purple mech pitches forward into a straight, wild run forward. The human mechanics, luckily, dive out of the way- But Casey isn't as lucky, as she's punted by the wild leg sweeps of the mech, and sent flying into the stands by the force of it.
Now Juliet's mech is in a full run forward towards the Wunderkind-Specifically Hope's mech. Her proximity alarms are going off, and she's caught like a deer in headlights- She's not going to move. Good thing Emmy's in there with her.
