Also, just to continue, I'm getting up early tommorow as it's my nan's birthday and me and my dad are driving down to Portsmouth. So expect the thread to finish at 11 instead of 12.

I'm okay with starting one hour later.
It's not too big of a shift, and as you said, it won't infringe on an otherwise rare free day.

We'll just have to not suck and argue over minutae, and get shit done.

That being said: AB-Chaff, AB-Chaff everywhere. I hope we have plenty of the stuff, because it'll be nice to have the advantage for a change.

You current situation is pretty much pic related.

You have engaged a ZIRCON black-ops team attempting to destroy or retrieve the nuclear warhead you managed to snag at Von Braun. You attempted to set up an ambush with Nell and her Elmeth however, they spotted the flare from Nell's thrusters and deployed their mobile suits. 12 black Gelgoog Jaegers.

Incidentially, the CO of this operation is believed to be one Captain Killing.

YOUR ORDERS?

My opinion:
The thirty minute rule worked wonderfully last time, keep doing it. That'll cut time on bullshit.

Second: Hell yeah I'm good with bumping this an hour later.

Third: What're we facing again? Ten gelgoogs painted black with machine beam guns?

Fourth: Holy shit, chaff right now, just close and rape with Zol and Lister and Long range with Elaine and whomever got the gauss cannon.

FIfth: Shit yeah, new awesome image. How long does it take you to make/create those images? Those aren't from scratch, are they mate?

Let's fuck up some dudes before they authorize the nuking of a side. Killing is a captain now, not a colonel, right? You think he's got the pull to order a nuking this time 'round?

>>14914788
Well, that answers several of my questions.

CHAFF CHAFF CHAFF.
Proceed to fuck them up in a nonbeam-related way. Afterwards, they said they lost contact with Bernie, right? How about we go check up on him AND MAKE SURE HE HASN'T DIED AND OR IS NOT GOING TO DIE BECAUSE NACHTMAREN BAILS OUT NACHTMAREN BERNIE NOOO!

--OMAKE--

Bernie stared down the Blue Destiny Pixy and knew he was in some serious shit. Which, in all fairness seemed to be par for the course today.
The mission had been going fine until someone had blown their cover, how it happened he doubted he'd ever know, but in the ensuing firefight he saw both Garcia and the Commander killed. He'd have probably been killed as well if it weren't for his vest stopping the bullet. The force of the impact knocked him awkwardly into the cockpit.
The Gundamjack had almost run into a bit of a snag when he had to enter a pilot code to activate it, but luckily he'd managed to sneakily snag Chris's a couple of nights ago.

The words "welcome back Pilot McKenzie" had been a shock, but again, par for the course for today. Probably a lucky escape all told, he'd have hated to get into some kind of pointless deathmatch with this thing with her piloting it.

Which led us to the now. With his overly heavy, stupidly armoured and apparently undergunned Gundam against the most dangerous combatant he could recall facing, and with no Nachtmaren 1 to 5 to back him up.

>>14914788
Think I'll go with this.
1) opening salvo: the Outer Heaven and anyone else with them fire their beam weapons at maximum range at one Cruiser. Nell's bits firing at the other.
2) Outer Heaven deploys Beam chaff to protect itself (and us) from return fire. Everyone else deploys beam chaff as well.
[i]This should hapen at almost the same instant as firing.[/i]
3) Nell changes targets to the Suits. Elaine begins firing the chaingun AA style. Everyone changes to ballistic weapons.
4) Full on engagement, Everybody gets down to killing mobile suits as fast as possible. David had better use that heat rod for some MS human shields too. The OH should continue sending out more beam chaff for as long as possible. We need to make these minutes count.

5)Once we're engaged Mauser should break off and go after either of the Zanzibars if they're not crippled yet. He has to stop them as we'll be busy. Option should try to join us and Nell should hang way the hell back.

6) If something breaks through and nobody else can get to it we should consider having Nell intercept it. I dont like it but the Elmeth can outpace even a Jaeger (barely) and its beam weapons can shoot at anything flying parallel. She just has to roll and elevate the guns. Worst case only I hope.

>>14914860
OH SWEET CHRIST HE'S GOING TO GET RAPED WE NEED TO KILL THESE BLACKOPS FUCKERS AND CHECK UP ON HIM IMMEDIATELY THEY SAID THEY LOST COMMUNICATIONS WITH HIM WE'VE A LEGITIMATE EXCUSE TO DO IT GO GO GO

>>14914788
Use Beam Chaff to get in close with David and Zolomon.
Elaine with her Heavy Gatling and Jolyne with her railgun will provide fire support.
Rance is to use his machine guns to provide intermediate support, and stay grouped with Jolyne and Elaine in case some of the Jaegers try to get in close.

Nell and Option hook back up with the Outer Heaven.
Once the enemy Zanzibars are in place, Nell's bits will activate and hit them from behind.

>>Probably a lucky escape all told, he'd have hated to get into some kind of pointless deathmatch with this thing with her piloting it.

Heh.
What you did there.
I see it.

>>14914883
>>14914865
>>14914824
Right, we're all pretty much agreed on the basics of this plan, then.
Let's go with Arty's wording, since it's the most detailed and has everything numbered.

>>14914865
Seconded. Let's kill some ghosts.

Hey Apologised, has Kaminsky died in this timeline yet? How would he do duelling the pixy, out of curiosity, without some cheapass arm gatling attack?

I thought Kaminsky was a pretty cool guy.

>>14914931
He just died. The pixy cut his kampher down the middle with a beam saber.

>>14914860

Bernie dashed forwards as best able, one hand reaching for his beam saber. The targeting computer, linked in with his IFF codes and implanted pilot data identified the target as the BD-Pixy "Mab" which was probably some old earth reference he didn't get.
As he expected the "Mab" moved first, leaping upwards to avoid his initial strike. It sent a pair of beam shots from it's wrist mounted beam guns at the space he had occupied before sidestepping inwards. So far, so predictable.
The Panoramic cockpit was definately helping out here, peripheral vision was such boon in these fights.

From his location he gave an experimental swipe to keep the enemy on his toes. His computer was still chugging away at cataloging all of the munitions the Kampfer had scattered about the place as the enemy used the vertical surface of one of the nearby building as a spring block to leap away.

Turned to face the enemy location and sprayed it with his head vulcans, before advancing in a zig zag pattern. He ducked down, partially to avoid overhead beams and also to pick up a spare grenade. He made a dead stop, the gundam reacted pretty quickly for all the weight it carried, and tossed the primed grenade at close range.

>>14914949
Shit, I thought that was Garcia. . .
And why does Bernie keep saying how slow the Alex is? It was fast enough in 0080.

>>14914959
>>14914949
I thought Steiner Hardy was the Commander of Cyclops Team?

>>14914959
Because THE ALEX CANNOT KEEP UP WITH HIM.

HE IS THE ALPHA AND OMEGA, NEWEST THAN NEWTYPE.

>>14914959
All that chobham armor it's wearing. Its reaction time is top-notch, but it's probably not accelerating or turning too well at the moment what will a bigass metal snowsuit weighing it down.

>>14914949
Incidentially, the new Pixy looks an awfull lot like pic related. Not EXACTLY and with a LOT less magical pixie dust, but pretty close.

>>14914957

He was expecting another dodge, what he wasn't expecting was for the Mab to kick the grenade out of the way with a bicycle kick and send another pair of shots at him.

"Well shit" was all he managed to get out before the Alex took both hits square in the chest.

Dust and smoke billowed outwards obscuring the NT-1 from view.

Bernie blinked. He wasn't dead.

Alarm signals began blaring from the ablative armour layer on his display. He stared numbly at it few seconds.
"Holy shit..." he said out loud.
"The Feds finally invented an armour that can take beam hits."

He just managed to remember the situation in time to jump backwards to avoid the strike he knew to be coming. Once the dust cleared, it did.

>>14915032
>>"Well, shit"
D:
>>Holy shit
:D
:DDDDD
HE LIIIIIVES
Wait, so if the armor could take a beam shot, could it block a beam saber hit? Heat hawks are different tech than beam melee weapons, right?

I just realised we had Lalah onboard for awhile back at Texas Colony and could have asked her if she could tell where Char was.
FFFFFFFF-

>>14914959
Full Armor Alex + Tem Ray braim damage designed circuit board. Weirdly the FA version has a slightly higher acceleration than the normal one. Doesnt say anything about turn rate or anything though.

>>14914982
He was. He was part of the infiltration team posing as a Fed soldier and got shot.
Mikhail Kaminsky was piloting the DISTRACTION KAMPFER, killed 6 MS before getting beamsabered in half.

>>14915032

The first strike came with from a strange reverse mounted beam saber mounted on a motorised forearm pod. The thing lashed and spun about, carving a vicious line, the first strike went wide, Bernie tried to parry the second only to have the irregular movements fool him and the blade sliced with terriffic speed on his left forearm. It should have sliced clean through the arm, torso and out the other side. It didn't. Instead of hot butter, it sliced like cold cheese. Bernie could practically feel the pilot pause in shock. He took advantage and started punching the Pixy in the face, 20+ tonnes of moving metal slammed into the head, causing it to recoil backwards. With his beam saber still trapped, he couldn't pull away and Bernie pushed forwards tackling it to the ground. The heavy shockwaves of the massive mobile suits falling could be felt as far as three miles away. Both of them fired their head vulcans on full burst sending sparks flying. Bernie roared with adrenalin and punched the head again, and then the arm, there was a shower of sparks as the thin jointing, designed for speed rather than endurance came away completely, and the beam saber cutting through his arm spluttered and died. Then the explosive bolts on the ablative armour plating fired, knocking his next punch off target and hitting ashphalt.
Now free, the Mab slithered like a snake and with it's foot mounted thrusted shot out from under him.

>>14915097
>>Two gundams punching the shit out of each other
THIS IS WHY WE ARE STILL HERE YOU NAYSAYERS
BECAUSE NOTHING THIS AWESOME HAPPENED IN THE SERIES GODDAMMIT
THIS IS OFFICIALLY FUCKING SICKHOUSE

>>14915097
Damnit Bernie! How many times have we told you: MS are not people! Don't aim for the head, aim for the cockpit!

>>14915097
Did. . . did the Alex just punch through the Pixy's elbow? Like, punch it so hard through the joint that it just limbed it?

>>Mab
Queen of the fairies from T. H. White's The Once and Future King? Or is it a reference I'm not getting?

>>14915097

He momentarily lost sight of the enemy. A cascade of shots impacted against his suit. Armour warnings began screaming from his lower torso area. Another spray of dust as the reactive armour dissipated the attack and the enemy paused.

He was striking from a distance now, not willing to get close.

Bernie drew his second beam saber. There was a flash of purple and a beam knife imbedded itself into his leg armour. His suit reported damage into the suit iteslf, if minor. There was a blue flash and his suit stagged from the impact as the Mab dashed past too fast to follow to retrieve the weapon.
Another burst of reactive dust and another pause in the enemies attacks.

"What's up with these pauses?" He wondered. Then he had an idea.

now he needs to do this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESTOzLHowJk&

>>14915144
Come on, Bernie! Clip that fairy's wings!

>>14915144
CUT OFF ITS OTHER ARM
IT CAN'T SWORD DUEL YOU OR THROW BEAM KNIVES OR WHATEVERTHEFUCK IF IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY MORE ARMS
ACTUALLY FUCK IT JUST CUT IT IN HALF

>>14915191
Or check to see if there's any other ranged weapons...

>>14915158
Link doesnt work for me.

In before Bernie tags out with Lister, us getting the Alex and him getting the Natch

>>14915225
He needs to survive that long first, come on Bernieboy. . .

Also, wouldn't Jol or Zol be better in it? Jol moves ridonk fast and Zol could capitalize on how it's a CC monster.

>>14915224
Come to think of it, Bernie hasn't noticed the controls for the gatling in the Alex's arm?

>>14915137

I think it's older than that, Shakesphere refered to it in Romeo and Juliet.

>>14915144

[4 MONTHS AGO]

The snow continued to fall in Canada. As it had done since they had arrived, as it would continue to do so, with scant moments otherwise for several years from now. In the crisp air, Hovis was smoking a cigarette, and Bernie drank from a thermos flask of hot coffee as they watched cargo planes fly in.

"So, what's it like being one of the few oldtypes in this outfit?" He asked Hovis, part in jest.

"Well, it's hard to describe kid, but basically I have three months of combat stories that nobody would have believed if it weren't for the footage. Seriously, you're going to see all kinds of crazy shit, and you've got to remember one thing."

"What's that?"

"Make the kill THEN make your witty one liner."

"Uh, that doesn't seem like it would come up that mu..."

"Kill FIRST. THEN quip." Hovis insisted.

"Is this like a metaphor?"

"Sure, why not."

>>14915265
[NOW]

Bernie scanned the ground for what he was looking for, with a bit of luck it might just have surviv- aha. The dust cleared and this time the attack came from the front. He cought sight of the Blue Gundam as it dashed from one building to another, just pausing long enough to send a trio of purple bolts towards him. Raising his undamaged arm to protect himself and the impacts melted away the ablative covering, sending giant plumes of material into the air. Before it cleared, Bernie already had grasped a smoke grenade and spiked it. Smoke spread across the area.
No attacks were forthcoming.

"I knew it. I've been treating this like a fight against a newtype, but that's not it at all. You're reaction times a superhuman, but that's it, you can't react at all to what you can't see or expect!" He moved forwards, the hunted now the hunter, and using the advanced sensors of the NT-1 he was able to spot the dull outline of the enemy mobile suit. It was hiding on the edges of smoke field, waiting for for visibility to return.

The irony of effectively using the tactics that the Midnight Pixy Death Squad had used on them some time ago was not lost on Bernie.

He charged forwards and slammed the manual purge button. A giant cascading armour charged out of the mists at the Mab.

>>14915275
Rider Kick, motherfucker

as to the actual quest part:
>>14914865

I'm gonna go with this

>>14915275
Fuck yeah! Come on Bernie!

>>14915275
GO BERNIE GO
EDGE OF MY SEAT
F5 NEARLY BROKEN
TESTAMENT BLASTING
WAITING FOR THE GLORIOUS FINISH

GO BERNIE GOOOO

>>14915275

The enemy reacted as he'd expected, attempting to put distance between them and firing shots as he went. The beams shots collided with the cloud of falling armour pieces, sending yet more obscuring dust into the air.
This meant that the enemy could see just HOW fast the Alex was without the armour and badly misguaged what a safe distance was.
Bernie led his attack with a roundhouse kick that seemed to appear out of the mists, even then the Mab was able to avoid his swing foot.

He didn't avoid the chain mine that Bernie had looped the handle of onto the toe area though.
8 High strength anti-ship munitions attached themselves to the mobile suit with a satisfying clank.

>"Kill FIRST. THEN quip."

With a combined motion that he couldn't have come up with on the fly without 6 months of tips and tricks from the battlefield he drew his outstretched leg inwards and his left hand outwards and slammed the trigger button with his palm.

Explosions followed.

"FUCKING REVENGE YOU MOTHERFUCKER." Bernie howled.

"...shit, I wanted to say something classier. Like "Say hi to Hovis for me ON YOUR WAY TO HELL" or something... I went too soon."

BERNIE WISEMAN HAS KILLED THE MIDNIGHT PIXY DEATHSQUAD.

>>He charged forwards and slammed the manual purge button

NOW TAKE OUT THAT TROJAN HORSE BERNIE.

FUCK YEAH.

>>14915352

>>14915158

>>14915345

GOOD END CRITERIA ACHIEVED.

Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to have my dinner, and then we can get started on this thing proper.

Rock on, Bernard Wiseman.

Rock on.

Chain Mine is standard issue for us, yes?

Because in any Gundam game I've played, Chain Mine is credit to team.

>>14915345
GOOD! NOW GET THE FUCK OUT OF THERE!

Erm, wait what was their extraction plan? Idea! Broadcast to all Federation forces that they are in violation of Side 6 Neutrality and that their MS are all defeated. If both sides evacuate their military forces from the Colony as soon as possible we wont press the issue. Then contact the Side 6 Forces and tell them we'll leave as soon a possible and if they could find a Zeon ship nearby we could ship out on.

DON'T FORGET TO GRAB SOME OF THE
"PLEASE STEAL ME ZEON I AM BEAM PROOF"
ARMOR AS YOU GO, BERNIE
KEEP BEING AWESOME THOUGH.

>>14915444
>>14915460
These two. Need to happen, like, NAO.

>>14915345

Nachtmaren. We take the roundhouse kick, the trademark of ultimate kick-ass-ness...and we make it go further. Heat rods. Chain mines. BEWARE THE SKELETAL FOOT OF ZEONIC JUSTICE!

Also, holy fuck, the Federation has developed Battletech-style handwavium ablative armor. Even if the suit's used it all at this point, that is a tremendous leap forward in the arms race should it be duplicated, even for use in new shield types.

>>14915428

Bernie's definitely one of the better users of the tactic (Nachturally), sorta like Lister is a grenade fiend and Zolomon is ALL MELEE, ALL AWESOME.

Okay, back to us.
I think we're all in favor for Arty's plan in >>14914865.
If you have objections, now's the time

>>14914865

I'm still good (since last episode even) with following Arty's lead here, at least till we get further into the engagement. Go with this.

Sooooo, how bout that Bernie? Great to see our tutalge worked out in the end. Maybe he can even link up with us if we're not too far away.

>>14915848
We're in the same colony grouping. Since we lost contact with him, soon as we're done with these assholes we ought to immediately go check up on him and once we find out the situation he's in, grab any armor we can, anything left of that pixy motherfucker so we can mount it on the front of the Outer Haven, and then proceed to GET THE EVERLOVING FUCK OUT OF LIBOT COLONY.

>>14915886
If we're sending anyone to Libot, it'll probably have to be Option.
He's got that EWACs module, and right now Libot is going to be crawling with Side 6 Security personnel. The last thing we want to do is create another international incident.

>>14915904
Does anyone know roughly what kind of distance are we talking about between the colony we are at and Libot?
Also, what was the cannon escape plan for Bernie and crew?

>>14915632

As the enemy begins pulling towards your intended ambush spot you quickly hand out a revised attack plan. You push forwards to reach optimum range for an opening salvo. Preparing your Beam Rifle you, as well as everyone else prepare your shots, aiming for the telltale blue sparks of enemy thrusters. Even as you do so, the Tadpole-2 class defensive missiles with their Anti-Beam Chaff and Minovsky spreaders are storming up behind you, launched by the Outer Heaven.

"All units, begin your attack."

Multiple golden lances streak towards the targets.

>>14916048
For the glory of Zeon!

Ready the bits! Let's unleash the dakka.

>>14916048
I hope we get some beam machine-guns out of this.

>>14916048

Even as you fire, the Tadpole missiles streak through your formation and begin launching their payload in great globs of glittering dust. Ahead of them you catch sight of Nell's bit's riding the bow wave of anti-beam chaff, waiting for a closer shot.

Explosions flare in the space between the two of you denoting kills or near kills from your earlier shots. Yellow splashes of colour blossom in space as their returning fire impacts on the anti-beam chaff.

You give the order to switch to solid weapons and charge in. You can see the flashes and flares of Nells bits assaulting the enemy as they charge in towards you. Further enemy mobile suits explode with her deadly accurate shots.

By this point however, the enemy is in range, swapping out it's beam guns for heavy Bazooka, 8 have survived, hardly fair odds vs your 5, but you suppose you could have Zolomon fight with only one hand.

>>14916110
No chance for theatrics yet, we have a lot more to kill before we can get overly comfortable.

Let the bloody work begin.

>>14916110
>>Eight left
Shit, more than
>>Nell
>>Option
>>Rance
>>David
>>Jol
>>Zol
>>Elaine
50% of our shots landed versus twelve aces all trying to dodge at once. Sometimes I forget how good we are.

>>eight versus five
. . . Do you mean eight versus seven? Oh wait, they're only engaging five, right, the Elmeth and Rance are over and away getting their flank on. Gotcha.

>>14916162
It's Option that's on the flank, but yeah, we can put the hurt on when we use our heads at least a little bit.

>>14916110
No getting overconfident, now. These are still aces flying Gelgoog Jaegers.
Stay focused, and let's swat these guys down.

>>14916110

The wrist mounted gatlings of the Jaegers are of a heavy caliber than your head vulcans, they carve great gouges from your GM shield and you return fire with your Bullpup. A storm of bullets cascades from the heavy armour of the Gelgoog, sending sparks everywhere, paint is practically scoured off the enemy mobile suit but the damage itself appears to be minor, only a couple penetrations from the lower caliber shells in your bullpup. It appears that the heavy armour of the Gelgoogs is going to be tricky to get past.

You dodge under it's Bazooka shell and lash out with your heat rod. Arcing electricity halo's the enemy for second, stunning it, and you finish it off with a slice of your beam saber, held in your shield hand.

Well, that's one down. Around you, you can see the others involved in similar combats. Heavy gatling fire from Elaine falls like rain, forcing erratic movements from the enemy and making it hard for them to coordinate their movements.

>>14916251
Bravo Elaine. Tobias has one kickass grandmother.

>>14916251
>wrist mounted gatlings of the Jaegers
WAT?! Oh shit.
>MS-14Jg Gelgoog Jäger
>Fixed armaments: 2 x beam spot gun, mounted in forearms
Well damn, it must be custom fit that swapped out the beam guns then. Is it the same as the 110mm machine cannons in the forearms of the Gelgoog Marine Commander's type?

Keep the press on!

Give them no chance to recover!

Zolomon nimble zigs and zags through a spray of bullets from a pair of Gelgoogs acting in tandem. His first slash with his giant beam lance is parried by a Beam Naginta, as is his second, third, fourth and fifth.
Nevertheless, all the two of them can do is parry his attacks.
Zolomon then casually swaps hands, gripping the weapon now in his shield arm, whilst his skill in his off hand isn't as good, he's still able to use the Eisvogel's agile (and unbalanced) movements to avoid any enemy counter attacks.

He then draws a second lance from his lance rack.

Pic now related.

>>14916309

MaHQ has that wrong. EVERY depiction of the Gelgoog Jaegers in any videogame depicts those wrist guns as being normal projectile weapons. I'm going to go with Bandai having a better chance of being right over MAHQ here.

>>Evac'd Degwin Zabi
>>Revealed Teacup
>>Stopped Jupiter Ghost incident

-I think four occasions to date in horrendously destabilizing plots?

>>14916597
Please. He was a Colonel then, he's a captain now. Not sure he has that kind of pull. Also? Wasn't it just one nuke he was threatening to drop only on Libot? Not any other colonies, just Libot I think.

Perhaps this would be the moment to demand surrender?

Just a chance to capture a few delicious Jaegers....

>>14916657
I thought we already had Jaegers? Ramba Ral himself has a G-Jaeg that we took out of Pezun I thought right before that session when Pezun got virusbombed and literally bombed.

>>14916617
If he's been given the naval rank of Captain it's higher than a Colonel which is equivilant to the naval rank of Commander.

>>14916676
Right, but most of the Gelgoog data and equipment was captured by Gihren's men, right?

>>diehard nutjob who would nuke a side to stop one gundam from getting loose (WHICH WE HAVE RECENTLY SEEN DOES NOT WORK. AT ALL.)
>>ask to surrender as if they're reasonable people like feddies

Yeah. This guy is like a diet version of Bask Om.

I don't know if Killing or his men would surrender.
Ramba Ral seemed to think that they would rather go down fighting rather than surrender.

Whilst you're all continuing to duel with the enemy units, you receive a priorty message from Nell.

"The enemy Zanzibars are moving up to engage the Outer Heaven with conventional weaponry, they will enter the AB-Chaff envelope shortly, I will not have time to destroy both. I can seriously damage 1 ship or spread damage across them both, do you have any orders?"

YOUR ORDERS?

A thought- how about we shoot them all and take their pieces back for reverse engineering, thus leaving less time for them to do something like order a nuclear strike on Libot since they know they're fucked?

>>14916737
Kill one and let the OH duel the other. That's Mauser in the piloting chair right now.

>>14916737

Target their weapons, priority on solid munition turrets. The OH can handle the rest.

>>14916737
Go for the one, hopefully we'll have done enough damage to the Jagers to jump the last ship. And I trust in Mauser.
As for surrender, this is a black-ops team who are trying to recover a nuke. I think surrender isn't an option in this kinda situation.

>>14916737

Go for the engines of both if possible.

If they don't have engines, they can't dodge the OH's fire and will have to surrender or die!

>>14916737
Have Nell concentrate and neutralize 1 ship.

Mauser and the Outer Heaven should be able to handle 1 Zanzibar. Can Option help, or is he out of position?

We just killed four, leaving eight-
Davy just popped one, making seven-
Zol is busy ramming two beam lances in uncomfortable places in two more, making five.

With Elaine giving covering fire, we'll have Zol, Jol, David, and Rance to duke it out with the remaining five. And Nell can smoke one of the Zanzibars, leaving OH to smoke the other one.

>>14916737
1 Vote for seriously damaging 1 of them.
Mauser should be able to go toe to toe with 1 normal one thanks to our upgraded heavy guns. We may need to send somebody after the badly damaged one if it doesnt break off at that point. Preferrablt Option if he hasnt joined the main fight yet.

Also, bit late for this but tell Anita to warn Ramba Ral that we've engaged the incoming loyalists. If he can convince the Side 6 people to let him launch the Madagascar that'd help. He should also tell the authorities to get the civilians to the shelters ASAP. One of these jokers may try to zip past us with their better spped.

This would be like asking Spetsnaz, SAS, Seal Team 6, or Delta to surrender.

Kind of unlikely.

>>14916825
>SAS

>>One dude versus Ramba Ral in the exact same suit

Sped is right. Ral would vent all his hate from doing nothing but sit on a nuke for a month and being a representative of Gihren Zabi's asshaberdashery on that fool.

>>14916848
SAS I AM DISAPPOINT
YOU ARE THE FATHER OF ALL CURRENT SPECIAL FORCES, YOU SHOULD NOT BE DOING SUCH THINGS

>>14916737

Just even the odds, Nell. The Outer Heaven can take on a Zanzibar.

>>14916752
>>14916772
>>14916777
>>14916799

You tell Nell to concentrate on the combat systems of one ship.

>Can Option help, or is he out of position?

Options's somewhat out of position to help. In anycase he's currently escorting Nell, his shield is filled with delicious anti-beam chaff.

And candy.

>>14916883
Let's keep it on then. Crush these fools.

>>14916883
>And candy
I keep forgetting that we need to get doting gifts for our little imouto.
We should get her a bag of candy next time we're in port. Maybe a slice of shortcake.

Now I'm imagining Elaine and Jolyne wearing frilly dresses and having a tea party with Nell, much to their embarrassment and Nell's joy.
And David and Zol doubled over laughing.
Of course, the next panel is the two of them having tea with a stuffed Acguy and Nell, and Jol and Elaine laughing.

> Hamburger survives, AND is going to steal the Alex and perhaps the Ablative armor.
Hmph. Fine, on with the story

> Nacht destroying Ace Zeon Loyalist pilots like they're a bunch of rookies

So... same old, same old?

>>14916883
Rock on then. Let's give Mauser some screen-time, the lovable arrogant rogue doesn't get near enough screen-time.

"Who's the best pilot in all of zeon?!"
"It's Char Aznable, isn't it?"
"What? No! It's me dammit!"

>>14916962
Go away crix.

A forest of yellow needles engulfs one of the advancing ships. Fires explode out from it as it's vital points are struck. Both respond with a barrage of all round flak fire. Unlike the bits these weapons are unaffected by the anti-beam chaff, you can't tell if the bits pulled away in time.
Nevertheless it looks like they did their work, one of the ships is clearly dragging behind the other, spewing smoke and other bit's of debris.

Whilst the other roars overhead, just far enough to avoid being engaged, the damaged ship continues to drift towards you, spamming missiles and bullets.

You see Jolyne crumple the chest armour of a Gelgoog at close range with her rail-gun - it falls away before exploding.
Seeing no unengaged enemies, she turns to you.

"Hey, if these guy's aren't going to let themselves be captured, what do you think that Zanzibar is going to do when it get's close enough to us?" she asks.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>14917035
Uhhhh... do ships have self destructs? We should probably scatter/ have Jo try to snipe the bridge if she's able.

>>14917035
Take this opportunity to have Jolyne and David sink that Zanzibar before it can self-destruct. Primary concern is to force the reactor to quench.

>>14917035

Hmm. That Zanzibar won't take much more till it goes down...Rance, you up to the challenge?

>>14917035
Curse, then split our forces between finishing off the four remaining guys and killing the wounded Zanzibar that's coming towards us. I'd listen to Arty's recommendation on who to send, but for now, I suggest we use Elaine to keep pinning these aces, and Zol and Jol to kill them dead. Three to four, seems like we should pull through.

Rance and Lister go finish off the wounded Zanzibar before it rams any of us, taking out the command deck so it can't be guided towards us anymore. Considering this is David-I-Killed-A-Pegasus-By-Myself-At-Odessa-Lister, I think we can do it.

>>14917035
"Jolyne If you can take that thing out before it gets any closer that'd be great."

>>14917067
You dont need a proper self destruct (Though I imagine that it does have one) You just need to run the fusion reactors up to supercritical until they explode.

>>14917087
Or if Arty thinks Jol can shoot that thing and take it out simple as that, I'm game.

>>14917087
Yeah, considering that this is a black ops cruiser, I imagine they've tweaked the fusion reactor and the I-Field to allow for a spectacular explosion.

>>"Hey, if these guy's aren't going to let themselves be captured, what do you think that Zanzibar is going to do when it get's close enough to us?" she asks.

>>Incidentially, the CO of this operation is believed to be one Captain Killing.

Do I even have to make a joke about the name when we got a team sent here to secure a nuke to use against a civilian populace at some point in the future?

I just like to point out we really should try to capture one or two of the pilots alive to gain some information out of them. I got this crazy feeling no one on the ships will be left for interrogation at the end of this.

Also Apologised, if they can't get close enough to any of us, how long would it take them to ram their ship into the colony and explode it for the lulz from where we are at now. In addition, how fast can it go compared to any of us?

>>14917111
Makes sense, so yeah, let's scuttle a cruiser. Either have Jo snipe the bridge if she can, or have Lister and whoever is free take it down.

>what do you think that Zanzibar is going to do when it get's close enough to us?

...Goddamn it. We're supposed to be the ones causing the massive explosions. All the more reason to kill these dudes. They're edging in on our franchise.

We should try and take it out before it gets to the range where it can do something awkward to us. We could just try dodging it, but eyeballing minimum safe distance can be tricky and that might put us out of position for dealing with the rest of the Jaegers. Even if the ship doesn't explode it can still provide some fire support and that's no good either.

Sink the ship before it gets into range, continue killing enemy aces, and make sure everyone keeps a heads up about the significant explosion hazard that's now on the field.

Do keep in mind that although damaged, the Zanzibar II class vessels have pretty heavy armour vs conventional weapons. At the moment you could outrun it if you ran, although that might expose you to the remaining enemies.

All 4 of them.

>>14917190
How conventional is Jolyne's gauss weapon?

>>14917190
Send Zolomon after it, have him beam lance the tits off of it? He's rather good at sticking beam melee weapons in bad places for ships.

>>14917190
Is the damaged Zanzibar within the AB chaff field?

Because what we really need to do is to force the cruiser's reactor to quench, and we could try concentrating on a single weak point.

>>14917195

Powerwise consider it almost on par with that of a Beam Gun. Although it doesn't have QUITE the same penetration. Really heavy armour like that on a ship is going to give it trouble. Try to remember that the Zanzibar class is Zeons equivalent to the Trojan Horse.

>>14917190
We could cover Jolyne while she goes on a highspeed pass firing her backpack beamcannon. Is the ship inside the beamchaff cloud yet? The trick will be to not slow down, just keep accelerating while shooting, that way even if it does explode she should escape the worst of it. In theory.

>>14917219
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, except I had both Jol and David do the high-speed shooting with beam weapons to maximize our chances of success.

>>14917219

The ship is well inside the beam-chaff cloud. Even if it wasn't it could just make it's own.

I'm not saying that you COULDN'T take the ship out, but if you do try it, you're only really going to get one shot at it.

Hmm. That Zanzibar wants to go up in a blaze of glory? Fuck that shit.

We have a numerical advantage in suits at this point. Whoever's here and unengaged for the moment, give this some thing some HE love. Fire to DISABLE if possible. No need to kill indiscriminately at this point, we seem to have an advantage.

Alright guys, it's been a half hour and we only have about an hour left!
Who's voting for what plan?

I'm voting for a high-speed pass by Jolyne and David using their backpack beam cannon and beam rifle respectively to quench the Zanzibar's reactor, if they're out of the AB chaff field.
If they're within the AB field, David unloads all of his chainmines and panzerfausts at one location on the Zanzibar, and then Jolyne punches through the weakened armor with her railgun.

>>14917259
>>We have one shot
>>We need to get lucky

SEND LISTER AND ZOLOMON

Their newtype powers and very existence is pretty much "I am astoundingly lucky" and "I am astoundingly lucky at throwing things". Just two long highlight reels of shitwrecking.

>>14917259
Dunno, start pinking its reactors with the railgun for a bit and if that does nothing do the highspeed pass?

I voted send Zol and Lister.
Arty and another guy voted send Lister and Jolyne.

Thus, Apologised needs to go send Lister and Jolyne.

DO IT.

>>14917259
Have Jol try to take out the reactor with concentrated railgun fire.
If it can't get through, then we should try the high-speed pass, but using panzerfausts, chainmines, and more railgun since we're inside the AB Chaff field.

Hmmm, 4chan ate my post, disconcerning.
So our options are bravely run away, giving the Jagers a chance to regroup and letting the Zanzibar go wherever it pleases.
OR a couple of us break off and try to take out the Zanzibar while the rest polish off the Jagers.
My opinion is we break off and avoid the Zanzibar. Hopefully the Jagers will choose to engage us in a running battle. If the Zanzibar goes towards the colony, we should be able to out run it and blow it up.
Can we spare a glance to see how Mauser is doing?

>>14917259

Finally the site is back up!

>>14917316

Were doing this.

>>14917399
Fair enough, I'm alright with that.

>>14917416
Is >>14917330 by the by.

You tell Jolyne to charge in and fire at it's weak spots whilst you draw it's fire. You tell Zolomon and Elaine to back up Rance whilst you do so.

Together the two of you charge forwards. Aiming for the large rents in the hull made by Nell's initial assault Jolyne's shots are devestatingly accurate, large secondary explosions brew up under the surface of the enemy vessel like some kind of horrible boil on human skin. Still however the vessel continues to advance, in order to cover her assault you start spraying rounds from your Bullpup rifle. The bullets have little chance of doing any actual damage, but they flash and ricochet distractingly off the surface of the hull. Flak and missiles begin to try and bracket you and you turn your bullpup to the arcing missile trails. Explosions illuminate you, and you dodge about the multiple streams of bullets from the flak gun. Your GM shield takes the munitions handily. Which isn't surprising considering that it was probably designed with that purpsoe in mind.

Nevertheless however, the Zanzibar class cruiser continues to advance towards you. Jolyne steps up her shots, each one devestatingly accurate, thermal readings from her rail gun begin to reach even you. You see one of her sabots penetrate the Zanzibars bridge and you think for a moment that maybe you've done it.

Then your entire vision goes white as the Zanzibar explodes right in your fa-

Your head slams back and forth like a nodding dog from the a strong backwards force.

The explosive radius of a nuclear explosion (caused by a warship exploding) is relatively small outside of an atmosphere. This is why during the one month war, multiple nuclear weapons were used in naval battles to secure victory, as realistically a single nuke would be needed to dispatch a single ship. Advances in minovsky particle emissions and improved anti-radiation shielding enabled Zeon to use nuclear warheads from much closer range than before, which enabled them to make better use of nuclear weaponry in a Minovsky environment, which negated radio and radar, and also damaged unsheilded electronics.

All of this meant that thankfully, somehow you had managed to survive the ship exploding. From the looks of things Zolomon and the rest of the team were outside

>Beam Shield 100% Every Third RPG Munition is a dud Beam Rifle 100% 5 shots remaining but will actually give out 6 due to minovsky leakage 4 grenades 1 will explode 20% stronger than usual 2 Panzerfausts one has 50% more propellent than the other 90mm down to 20 rounds will jam at 19 giant gatling hungers for blood will gleefully run out of bullets in 36 seconds of firing

the blast zone. Also for some reason Jolyne was pulling him away from the now receding explosion.

"That could have been worse." You note as her Gelgoog trails a languid cloud of psychadelic colour with an implied naked sillouette with her featers ahead of it like a figurehead.

"Are you fucking kidding me? We nearly died. Again." She states.
"Eh, I've been closer than this to nuclear explosions."
"You really, REALLY haven't."
"Eh, whatever. So, who's next?"

>>14917436
Well... huh.

Hope this turns out alright.

Before I go, could someone make sure that this get's archived properly in sup/tg/, I'm not 100% sure it worked right as I did it when the outage was going on.

Thanks!

>>14917486
Woo! Go go gadget plot armor!
So the next step it mop up Jagers and take out the last Zanzibar. Then we book it to Bernie and pick him up (hopefully).

So, to-do list for next week:
1. Kill or capture the remaining 4 members of the black-ops team.
2. Make sure to support Mauser and sink the other remaining Zanzibar.
3. Pick up Bernie.

While I'd like to tell Ramba Ral, this is something we need to talk to him in person about, and we currently can't get close to the colony he's in. What should we do about that?

The colonies should be monitoring this battle right outside their sphere of influence. We use this as leverage due to saving the day. I don't mind capturing one of the enemy pilots and then come to the colony ourselves under the pretense of handing over the prisoner to them for interrogation (This would help our cause anyways). While there, we ask to meet with Ramba Ral as a thankyou for our defense of the colony. I'm hestinant to bring the hard drive along in such a case since we won't have full control of our surroundings and would probably be inspected upon arrival inside the colony.

>>14918449
Well, we can TRY to use this as leverage.
The Side 6 government could respond back that this entire fight was "an internal Zeonic Civil War affair, it had nothing to do with Side 6, or are you implying that a ZEON task force, with a willingness to use their ship reactors as nuclear munitions, was about to breach the neutrality of Side 6?"
They could potentially turn around and say that this proves that Zeon cannot be trusted, if they feel like being dicks about things.

Is 4chan finally going to stop DDoS'ed for the day?

>>14918103
I like this, let's do that.

>While I'd like to tell Ramba Ral,
(About the Nuke?)
>this is something we need to talk to him in person about, and we currently can't get close to the colony he's in. What should we do about that?
Not sure. Stoping the bad guys then finding out what's up with Bernie are the more doable objectives. They're not going to just let us into the colony Ramba Ral is in after all that. It'll be more along the lines of "NO U GTFO!"

>>14918449
>>14918759
Bernie could save our asses in this regard if he starts pestering them about allowing a Federation facility in neutral territory. At this point it's a slightly damaged Gundam Alex vs 1 unsupported Assault Carrier if they decide to try and screw around. Also:
>>14915460
>>14915444

>>14916946
Here's the picture I was thinking of.
Just replace the people with members of Nachtmaren, and throw in some stuffed MS dolls.

>>14919141

>>14919366
So, tea party with Nell after this business with the black ops team and rescuing Bernie is dealt with?
