Disclaimer: Since there isn't a lot of official art to base fan art off of, this is what I imagine what the omniframe looks like while someone is piloting it, interface and all.



All Eve heard and saw was destruction. Explosions happened all around her. The earth exploded and bits of dirt and rock landed on her face. Nearby, a tree fell over with a sickening crack.

A body -- tsihu or human, she didn't know -- slumped over. She quickly stepped around it and raced towards the western mountain where the enemy was most concentrated. Reaching around, she took an incendiary bomb and pressed the button on the top of it and threw it high into the air, over the trees and into the thick forest.

Boom.

Fire quickly spread from tree to tree, crackling and popping as it traveled. As she traveled deeper into the first, she saw a familiar orange omiframe through the trees. A sense of hope washed over her. She wasn't alone.

As she opened her mouth to call over to her comrade, she looked up to the sky and shrieked. A massive tsihu alien jumped down on her comrade's omniframe, crushing it and leaving no doubt the pilot was dead.

"BEX."

Screaming and blind with fury, she opened fire on the tsihu with her plasma cannon. She laid waste to the disgusting alien and hopped out of her frame. She ran over to Bex's frame and pulled out her comrade's mangled body from the wreckage and held it close to her own body.

"May I see you in the next life," Eve silently whispered.
