The story so far:

You were sent to Arizona to try and track down a missing supply train. What you found, was trouble.
After your squad carefully investigated the train tracks, you managed to find a hidden Federation MS Research facility as well as your missing train.
Then you found the missing five Mobile Suits... being piloted by the enemy. After you proved your ace status to them, you persued the last one through the grandcanyon and into a hall of mirrors fight (courtesy of the Colony Drop) with another two.
That was where your Mobile Suit lost it's arm.

You staggered back to the captured federation facility, to find the train had returned with orders to strip the place for intelligence.

Since it was 11 at night, you all decided to get some rest.

Can't wait! Fuck yeah!

Current Squad status

>>7000385

Unfortunately Ookawara didn't occompany you on your little jaunt.

We have good news, and bad news.

First off, the good news: Realising that you would probably be returning to the base, the train has brough back a large stock of the 128th Depot's 120mm rounds for your weapons. So you can fully reload your MGs.

Now the bad news, there are no spare parts for your gouf, and next to nothing to do a proper repair job on your armour. There are literally NO spare Zaku parts anywhere in the facility. They've patched up the holes with patchwork metal plates, but it needs to be properly looked at in an actual MS hangar somewhere.

It is currently 7:00am. The train has loaded the prototype onto one of the carriages. They plan to travel back to the 128th Depot immiediately.

It is April 29th 0079.

Is there anything you wish to do before you leave the base? It has already been stripped of pretty much everything.

Otherwise shall we get on the HO-TRAIN? Uh, sorry. It' just a normal train.

are those flying whales

>>7000573
just a normal train
NOT FOR LONG!

And we did grab the Gouf's severed arm, correct? At the very least it'll be a good reminder.

I'm assuming our spare Zaku is back in California. Well, let's take our bazooka, and a spare MG if we can, and get going. Not much else to do.

Did Zeon forces scour the battle sites?

>>7000548
Bleh, misread, thought we were at the depot already.

Well, if we have orders to look for intel, let's hand over those papers we found if we didn't already and do a more thorough search of the place. And send a message with the train requesting some materials to repair the armor damage. Scrap metal won't hold up to any decent resistance we may encounter.

>>7000596

No. Their planes propelled by nuclear fanjets and has a winglength of 160 meters.

>>7000605
>And we did grab the Gouf's severed arm, correct? At the very least it'll be a good reminder.

It wasn't severed, it was damn near INCINERATED. It got caught in a secondary explosion and blown up. You barely managed to salvage the blade of your Heat Saber (REMEMBER KIDS! RECYCLE!) in the aftermath.

So, I take it that you don't want to linger then?

>>7000672
The longer we stay, the more time The Feds have to plan and execute an ambush.

>>7000672
Move out!

>>7000622
>>7000630

Dang it. I wait and then whilst I'm posting so do you.

>Well, let's take our bazooka, and a spare MG if we can, and get going. Not much else to do.

There is spare ammo, but no actual guns, and only for the 120mm MGs. Zolomon would probably be okay with you using his if you want Y/N?

>Did Zeon forces scour the battle sites?

The battles near the base yes, travelling up through the grand canyon is further than they really want to go though.

>Well, if we have orders to look for intel, let's hand over those papers we found if we didn't already and do a more thorough search of the place.

You hand over the papers. They contain a tactical analysis on the capabilities of the prototype you took, and some details on Minovsky Particle manipulation.

ZEON HIGH COMMAND IS TAKING THE FEDERATION MOBILE SUIT EFFORTS 3% MORE SERIOUSLY.
CURRENT TOTAL: 7%

BEAM WEAPON DEVELOPMENT TIME DECREASED BY 3 DAYS.

>>7000706

Deciding that you can't stop here, this is Feddie country, you board the train and move out.
It is 7:30am.

You travel down the tracks towards the 128th Depot, there hopefully they can repair your mobile suit, jury rig a new arm for you at the very least, and hopefully you can report in for a job well done.

About an hour into the journey, you notice smoke from up ahead. The train slows down as it approaches and then stops.
From the distance it appears to be a large amount of burning wreckage on the tracks.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>7000759
>ZEON HIGH COMMAND IS TAKING THE FEDERATION MOBILE SUIT EFFORTS 3% MORE SERIOUSLY.
CURRENT TOTAL: 7%

I'm confused. What does this signify?

>>7000857
Crap. Scan to see if there are any nearby hostiles.

>>7000881
>I'm confused. What does this signify?
Possibly when raised high enough options to investigate fedy mobile suits/create countermeasures to their brand of suits will be opened up.

Get everyone looking for enemies. Stays with the train, using her long range cannon to hit anyone. If needed, we and Zolo + any other machine that can help go to clear the tracks.

Now, they're probably expecting that, so we'll be walking into a trap. Hopefully, we can turn that into a trap against them, using Jolyne's artillery barrage once they show themselves.

>>7000915
Jolyne stays with the train.

>>7000904

High enough levels and you might not get situations like Dozle refusing reinforcements for shits and giggles.

It will also improve the odds of them sending you reinforcements when facing enemy MS, and how much forces they allocate when dealing with them. Basically, the higher it is, the less they'll underestimate the Feds.

It wont unlock non-canon suits. But it may result in thngs like the Pezun Project finishing sooner (though there are other qualifications needed for that) as well as MSV's that were never officially produced seeing a limited run perhaps.

>>7000956
Thanks for clarifying.

>>7000857
I agree with Mr. Murray.>>7000915

>>7000915

The two of you carefully dismount and begin to move forwards to investigate. As you get closer you can begin to identify the twisted metal scraps. It appears to be several destroyed Zaku's.
Some are still on fire, others have since burnt out. None of them appear to be much more than scrap.

You carefully scan the horizon, none of your sensors can pick up anything suspicious.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>7000263

Dat image.

"TO THE FEDERATION
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
LOVE ZEON"

>>7001023

Any enemies will have powered down to avoid sensors, keep your gun up and watch for movement. Rely on our eyes, not our machine.

Our best bet would to put a coup de grace in any suspicious looking and still functional mech.

Check for mines, booby traps, explosives rigged to the wreckage, anything.

Do we recognize these zakus? Are they identifiable at all? Unit numbers painted on? Unique markings? A pilot we might know?

If there's nothing suspicious, we move the wreckage as best we can with Zolomon keeping an eye out for trouble. He's got shitloads of dakka, and needs to be ready to fire at a moment's notice.

We've only got one arm though, so we'll have to use our legs to help push the tracks clear.

>>7001023
Well, let's get to work clearing the tracks. Keep and eye out for any booby traps that may have been left. And when/if we get them cleared away, try to find the serial numbers or other identification so we can tell which unit the Zakus are from.

>>7001023
IT'S GUNDAM TIME

>>7001093
WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?

Hmm, nothing on the horizon eh?
Maybe they are under the horizon.
Aka, dug in and hiding somewhere near?

Maybe we should check with Sonar before moving the train.

>>7001108
BECAUSE I CAN. Say, has Garma become an hero yet? Depending on the answer, the White Base may or may not be in America at the moment.

>>7001131
The V project is still in its cradle, we are just a few months into the war.

>>7001044

None of the Zaku's are much more than scrap. None of them are functional, or could possibly be faking it, and there aren't enough of them for one undamaged one to be hiding underneath.

>>7001055

Zolomon keeps a look out whilst you invesitgate closer. Eventually you are able to spot some identifying markings, identifying them as the squad that you met two days ago when you first started out along the tracks to look for the train.

They appear to have been destroyed by shelling, of what type is diffuclt to identify. It appears to been a close range ambush, possibly by Type-61 tanks. A quick scan of the area does show what looks to be a large amount of catapillar tracks.

>>7001076

It will be difficult to clear the track with only one arm. Do you wish to call up Jolyne, or call up the train and Jolyne, so you can guard them better?
Alternatively, you can swap guard positions with Zolomon.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>7001131
He hasn't. It isn't.

>>7001146
Probably best to let Zolomon clear the tracks while we guard, risky moving the train up.

On the other hand I suppose they might just as well attack the train back there as if we bring it up here.

If they are going for the train that is.

>>7001146
I say we swap with Zol. We still have the bazooka, right? That should be enough firepower. Just in case though, ask Zol for his Machine Gun. He has enough built in dakka to not need it, plus his Heat Hawks.

If they managed to destroy 3 Zakus without losing any tanks in an ambush they got to have a lot of firepower.
10+ tanks or perhaps some Guntanks. Or a shitload of infantry with bazookas and mines.

Might be a good idea to mark down in what direction those tracks are going, if for nothing else but to alert Command once we get back.

Yeah. Let's strap his MG to our backs or wherever and keep watch while he moves the suits.

Now, they were destroyed by tanks we can assume. However, since the tracks don't appear to be damaged, that means that the wreckage was moved onto the tracks to delay us.

Make sure to keep our eyes open.

And Jolyne and the train needs to keep double aware.

>>7001188

You swap positions with Zolomon and take his MG off him, not that it's much use with only one arm.

Zol uses his axes as shovels and begins to clear the burning wrecks off the tracks fairly quickly. He then inspects to the tracks for damage.

Unfortunately it appears the tracks will require some limited repair work by specialised engineers. The train has such personnel.

Do you wish to order the train up, or will you have them travel up and back on jeeps and trucks?

What's the current Minovsky density? Can our sensors really not detect anything out of the ordinary or are we being jammed?

I'm getting the feeling it might be a good idea to get a step on it. Obviously no enemies are in sight range and it would take them a few minutes to get into range. Better to move the train up, fix the damn rails and get back to base ASAP before the feddies try whatever it is they are planning.

Like an airstrike against the still-sitting train.

>>7001244
Bring the train up. Return MG to Zolomon, get squad to security stations.

>>7001146
>swap guard positions with Zolomon
Do this while having the train+Jolyne move up slowly.

There's apparently nothing wrong with our sensors so we should be find as lookout.

What size were the tracks?

>>7001265

Minovsky particles are only retarding radar and radio. Radar is down to 800m, Radio about 1km.

>>7001281
Agreed. This whole thing stinks, and it'd be best to get out of here ASAP. Stuffing engineers in a bunch of lightly-armored trucks just gives us more things to watch, or potentially save. Move the train up, and have Zolomon start clearing the tracks.

We have jump jets, right? Use them to bound as high into the air as we can, maybe we'll catch a glimpse of those tanks.

Yeah, move the train up, let's get a move on.

Our squad needs to be on some serious lookout duty. Thrust jump for recon. Get onto boulders or nearby hills.

We can't let anyone damage this train.

>>7001361
That is a hillarious idea that is both awesome and dumb at the same time.

Ah what the hell why not. WHAT COULD GO WRONG?
(hint: if they didn't already know we were here they will after we light up the desert/bunny hop/sound/shaking of our landing)

Go for it. Before we bring the engineers up, wouldn't want to lit them on fire.

>>7001361
>>7001383
Given our poor Gouf's condition, I'm having a hard time believing we'll do our suit much good here.

Assuming there aren't Guntanks out there that'll light us up like a Roman Candle for the whole desert to see.

>>7001314

After you check the tracks for booby traps, you escort the train to the wrecks. The engineers, since they're close to the train and their gear to repair the damaged tracks quickly.

Whilst they're doing this, you scan the tracks trying to get an idea of where the enemy forces went. They lead you in a merry ring around the area, the forces must have started orbiting around the squad at high speed whilst attacking. Perhaps they also used smoke? Some of the tank squadrons in New Mexico had smoke launchers...
You get the feeling that they left in multiple directions, though the wind has blown some of the tracks away, implying that the attack wasn't all that recent.

>>7001443
I still suggest having someone jump into the air or at least find a hill for some better visibility. 800m radar range isn't worth shit.

>>7001443
So, uh, do the engineers finish the repairs or does something happen?

Since we've got such a busted up machine, what's stopping us from hopping into the Fedie suit and using that?

I guess we might have one or more TANK ACES on our hands out in this shitty desert.

Interesting.

>>7001505
The Guntank(s)? Missing tracks I think.
Probably other stuff as well.

>>7001505
Um, the fact that it lacks any form of locomotion and isn't combat tested, and might not even have any ammo?

Just to clarify, we missed our chance to interact with the Hildolfr around the time of the Zaku chase correct?

Down to business. Clear the tracks so we can finish this infernal sortie and get some well deserved rest and repairs.

>>7001468
I'm not certain we would be able to pick out a concealed guntank at any real range.

Instead of using your Jump Jets, you cautiously mount the train's engine and use the extra elevation to get an idea of the area.

It's rocky and sandy, there are plenty of places a Type-61 Tank could hide out, but you don't see any distant dust tracks either left or right.
From the front however, you see that now that the wrecks have been moved away and put out (Zol poured sand on them until they went out.) that they weren't the only source of smoke.
In the distance, lying roughly in the direction of the Depot, is a long large plume of smoke.

That can't be good.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>7001538
The Hildolfr might be safe. Seeing as how we wacked those 5 zakus it would be a bit silly for the Feds to have 10+ Zakus in the area.

>>7001570
Oh shit. Well this is very bad.

Open comms, scan all friendly frequencies. See if we missed any distress calls from the depot. And try to get there as soon as possible.

>>7001570
...well shit.

Do we have any other bases that lie along this track?

Otherwise lets move slow and send Zoloman forward to recon, he's got the camoflauged Zaku.

Mount up and doubt time in back to base.

>>7001570
Ah snap, feared that might happen.
Unless this train track can take us to some other base and we feel like abandoning our duty...we better check out the depot for survivors, assess the damage and look for any straggling attackers.
With caution, of course.

>>7001570
Goddamnit.

Well, let's head for the depot. Maybe we can make it in time to be of help. Keep on guard, give Zol back his Machine Gun.

>>7001538
>Just to clarify, we missed our chance to interact with the Hildolfr around the time of the Zaku chase correct?

Oh no my friend. Things have only just begun...

>>7001570
Move out and pray the smoke is coming from dead hostiles. Or the world's largest barbeque.

>>7001570
>In the distance, lying roughly in the direction of the Depot, is a long large plume of smoke.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

Zolomon is on point, because as stated already, he's got the camo zaku. We'll stay back with Jol and the train, moving at a steady pace, but ready to stop and reverse if needed. If worse comes to worse, we can always hit the tracks going back the way we came, possibly going back to the Fed base, or maybe that tin mine, or just following the other track wherever it leads.

If I remember my IGLOO correctly the Feds are hitting a series of supply depots right around now, which is why Zeon High Command decided to test out the prototype Hildorf here.

If it weren't four our lack of arm and heatsword I'd be all giddy, but I suppose this is our chance to prove ourselves as a commander and not just a fighter.

>>7001631
Actually, both Zol and Jol have camo. It's the Gouf that sticks out with the skeleton paint job. So those two should be sent in first to see what's going on in the base.

>>7001708
Yeah, but Jol has long range capabilities, and we aren't in the best shape to defend this train by ourselves.

You quickly hop back into the train and zoom off towards the depot.
As you get closer you can confirm that unfortunately the entire Depot has been destroyed and burning. From the looks of it, large amount of the depot has been looted, and then set on fire.

You scan the area for enemies. The train meanwhile stops at the depot station. Which aside from some holes is functional. Then engineers begin to dismount and carefully inspect the area.

>>7001745
...I guess we explore too? Try to find any Feddie corpses. Would be nice to find out what did this.

Time to wait for a WILD PLOT HOOK I think.

Uh, inspect the depot, and WAIT FOR THE PLOT TO UNFOLD!

New plot hook, our Gouf is busted and this place might be trapped. Fucking awesome.

By the time we get back to our mechanics this Gouf will be missing all kinds of limbs, armour and various bits. Slowly dragging itself forward with its one remaining finger.

>>7001880
And god damn will they be impressed by it's resiliency.

You carefully scan the horizon, carefully looking for possible enemies. After about half an hour, one of the engineers returns to give a report.

"Were pretty sure that the depot had no defences at all after they lost their Zaku patrol. So after that it would have been pretty easy for pretty much anybody to roll in and take the place. The fuel tanks have been set fire too, though I suspect that was just to hide how much they syphoned off. Same might go for all of the missing spare parts. They probably just took them to either spite us, or to retool for use on tanks... God, I hope they haven't got any MORE Zaku's. But where in gods great earth would they get them from? We don't HAVE any more missing for three states."

WHAT NOW?

>>7001945
We leave for the nearest friendly base. Again. Preferably by train.

Also have Zoloman take a look around the outskirts to see if there are any trails the Feddie guntanks left.

Try and get Comms up and radio a report to command, try and get some reinforcements/new order/something.

The engineers are currently attempting to repair the phonelines, which are cut somewhere along the line.

You can leave your Gouf and invesitgate the area if you wish.

The 67th depot is just over 4 hours away by train, but would take considerably longer for a tank or a Mobile Suit.

>>7001945
Talk with the engineer, tell him about the Fed built Zaku clone we fought at Roswell. It's possible that they're using Zaku parts and retooling them to create or repair suits of their own.

That might get Zeon High Command to take things more seriously.

Also, is there anything left in the command center? Any survivors? And recordings from security systems? If we can see what happened it would be immensely helpful.

What means are there of travel now? Train seems to be a pretty shitty means to travel all the way back to California. Especially in the state we're in.

Objectives:
A)Send the train back to the nearest friendly base.

B) With somekind of escort. Jolyne? Or hand over our Gouf to her while we snag her Zaku Cannon?

C) Track down the attackers, maybe a 2 Zaku or Gouf Job. Confirm enemy type and plans.

>>7001945
search for any signs of where the enemy went? i mean, giant robot footprints, herpaderp

Search for tracks/clues/documents while we get the engineers to hook us up with HQ and some damn reinforcements.

Depending on outcome, we go after the attackers.

>>7001982
Let's finish up the search for anything useful and then take the train to the 67th base. Hopefully we can reach it before the Feddies.

>>7001989
>Train seems to be a pretty shitty means to travel all the way back to California.
That was the original plan, actually.
>>7001982
Are the base's comms still operational? Maybe we can get in contact with our superiors & inform them about the base hits & the part theft.

>>7002047
>The engineers are currently attempting to repair the phonelines, which are cut somewhere along the line.

I wonder how Lister ever made it to lieutenant, but nevertheless we go about trying to find those damn nanos and have them rebuild Red-Dwarf.

>>7002053
Yeah, I saw that after I hit 'Submit'.

>>7002054
>Lister ever made it to lieutenant
By being made of win and badass, and alongside Zoloman and Strauss collectively having at least 75% of all kills in almost every engagement we've been in.

>>7002054
>I wonder how Lister ever made it to lieutenant
You obviously haven't read any of the past threads.

>>7001989
>Talk with the engineer, tell him about the Fed built Zaku clone we fought at Roswell. It's possible that they're using Zaku parts and retooling them to create or repair suits of their own.

He listens to your story, which you quietly tell him as technically it's semi-top secret.

"It's possible they were up to something like that, I'm pretty sure at least one of the Zaku's you went up against yesterday was simply made up from spare parts. I'm not too sure if the depot had enough parts to do that though, we managed to recover a partial manifest from the depot."

>What means are there of travel now? Train seems to be a pretty shitty means to travel all the way back to California. Especially in the state we're in.

The train is still the fastest way currently, unless you can call in an airdrop. It would take about a day to get back to Cali though.

>Search for tracks/clues/documents while we get the engineers to hook us up with HQ and some damn reinforcements.

You leave your Gouf and begin to look about the area. The depot was never heavily populated, and it looks like there were no survivors.
On the floor your foot snags a single piece of partially burnt paper.

"[burnt] and as a result a second train, using an alternate line will be sent containing [burnt] as well as reserve parts, ammo and [burnt] for fortification emplacements these are bound for the 67th [burnt] an adittional company of MAgella tanks for the 128th depot. The 67th is to be upgraded to a Zeonic Com[burnt] here in [burnt] "

The rest of the letter is burnt beyond recognition.

You return to your Gouf, the smell of burning flesh is beginning to get to you.

The hardline has been restored, central command has been informed of the destruction of 128th depot, and of your fight with the captured mobile suits. This last information is classified.
High command says that your mission is over, but the 67th Depot has requested your presence to use your experience as a test pilot to set up a test run for the experimental unit that will be deployed on the 9th, but they COULD send another person if you want. The 67th has the resources to repair your Gouf.

DO YOU WISH TO TRAVEL ON TO THE 67TH OR RETURN TO CALIFORNIA?

>>7002172
Sounds like the 67th base might have gotten fortified. Sounds like a good place to head too.

>>7002172
>fortification emplacements these are bound for the 67th

Well that has me sold, once everything and everyone is packed up, lets head over to the 67th depot.

>>7002192
Agreed.

>>7002178
"Experimental Unit"? Anybody got an idea what it is?

Accept transfer, get blown up testing experimental gear.

To the 67th, good times await!

Get our Gouf repaired and our unit resupplied once we get there.

>an adittional company of MAgella tanks for the 128th depot.

I think I know what made those treads now.

67th it is.

Expect some serious trouble once we get there. Eventually.

>>7002237
Could it be the Hildorf...?

>>7002256
hmmmmmm...

>MAgella
Is that A capitalized on purpose or is it a typo?

>>7002275
Typo.

>>7002271
Okay, maybe not.

I had no idea what a Hildorf was before I saw that, BTW.

It's quite huge. It is semi-transformable with half a Zaku II under that cannon as a turret for closer combat.

>>7002271

NO YOU FOOL! THAT'S ONE DECENT PICTURE OF THE HILDOLFR I HAVE! NOW I CAN'T REPOST!

TO GOOGLE!

You hop back on the train and you pull away from the former depot.

The time is 12:30pm.

After four hours of clear skies and uninterrupted travel you eventually reach the 67th.
It doesn't LOOK like it's got extra fortifications. But it is certainly BIGGER than 128. You stop in and are greeted by some of the engineering crew, who agree to take your suits into the hangar and repair them.

Since the repairs will take a while (and some jury rigging in the case of your Gouf, they only have Zaku parts) they ask you to help them work out a decent test for their upcoming Experimental Unit.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>7002359
it's okay, let me help

>>7002359
Ask them what the unit actually IS.

Agree. Why not, since there's a mystery rogue set of bandits out there with enough firepower to put a serious dent in our supply chain. Some fancy new prototype from the eggheads oughta show them not to mess with Zeon.

>>7002359
Ask whoever's in charge if they received the shipment that they were supposed to get.

If not, then the Feds have taken them.

Find out what we've signed on for. Zolomon and Jolyne have come with us?

>>7002378
>>7002359
Also, I'm going to assume that our experimental unit is probably a gouf custom/acguy (I wish)/early Dom (which would be nice). So, maybe a high velocity test course with enemies who've hidden live rounds in with paint rounds in the same weapon (like they did in Ecole du Ciel). Also, we must persevere, or else this'll happen!

"Work out a decent test for their experimental"?

Suppose we must learn just what this experimental is all about and what it can do before designing some clever trap for DEM DAYMN FEDDIES.

>>7002359
More info is needed, but my inclination is to accept.

>>7002456
I'm hoping for the MS-08TX(EXAM) Efreet nacht

I'm assuming it's that massive tank prototype.

I'm also assuming this 67th outpost is going to be attacked while we're here.

And when it does, we'll be there to keep it safe.

>>7002380
>>7002386

The Depot head confirms the experimental unit as being the YMT-05 Hildolfr Mobile tank. A high speed fire support unit over 35 meters in length and armed with a 300mm main cannon with a multiple shell type autoloader fitted with High Explosive (HE), High Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT),
High Explosive Anti-Tank/Incendiary (HEAT/I), High Explosive Squash Head (HESH), Armor Piercing (AP), Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot (APDS), and Armor Piercing Fin Stabilised Discarding Sabot (APFSDS) shells.
It also comes with a 100mm Carbine for use in MA mode.

>Ask whoever's in charge if they received the shipment that they were supposed to get.

They say that whilst that train hasn't arrived yet, it's not that unusual given how circuitous the route is. Also, said route is in disrepair after the colony drop, who knows where they've been delayed?
At anyrate, now that your squads here they can use some of their Mobile Suits currently on patrol to search for it.

>>7002452

Do want source.

>>7002545
Make sure that they know what we've been through.

Fed forces are likely using stolen Zakus or Fed produced Zaku clones in the area. Give the Zeon pilots here some pointers in MS v. MS combat before they go out on patrol.

OH WAIT!

Whatever happened with the Fed soldier we sent back on the train? Was he ever interrogated by Zeon forces? Gave up useful information?

Wanted to make sure you didn't forget about that guy.

>>7002571
08th MS Team.

>>7002545
I suppose we catch some rest/help fix up the Gouf/plan how to get those feddies and evaluate the prototype while the base Zakus goes and fetch it.

>>7002545
So what part of it do they need tested? The armaments, the speed, armor, something else? All of it?

>>7002571
Gundam Lost War Chronicles. But it's a bit off topic.
>>7002545
Hmm... is there any way we can upgrade our Gouf A? I mean, we probably don't need the grappler or the hand vulcan, but I've a feeling out powerplant is going to be a bit weak in the coming weeks. Perhaps we can send a missive out to the SE Asia front? I heard they have some mad scientist working on some assault mobile armor

>>7002545
Can we get them to repair our saber?

>>7002623
And by not needing the grappler/hand vulcan, I meant in the Gouf close-combat version. autosage

>>7002587

He was taken back to the 128th depot.

You aren't sure whether he died or was picked up by his own side.

>>7002572
>Fed forces are likely using stolen Zakus or Fed produced Zaku clones in the area. Give the Zeon pilots here some pointers in MS v. MS combat before they go out on patrol.

The depot head asks you to hold a briefing for the local pilots, to try and work out the best way to handle this.
The briefing will be scheduled for 7.
It is currently 4:30.

YOU HAVE CURRENTLY 2 HOURS AND 30 MINUTES TO THINK UP A BRIEFING.
WHAT DO YOU DO?

YOUR GOUF WILL TAKE 5 DAYS TO REPAIR. ZOLOMON'S ZAKU DESERT WILL TAKE TWO.

>>7002642
It's fucking GOUFY TIME (soon).

Gonna be hard to upgrade the generator without overhauling the whole thing.

Switching to a Dom when the time is right will probably be a good idea.

>>7002658
We'll need to give them the quick and dirty, vital stuff on mass MS combat.
We're talking 1-2 squads of Zakus vs as many Feddies Zakus + Tanks.
Make sure they don't underestimate the enemy!

Although the Zeon pilots will probably have the advantage if they can avoid getting ambushed to death.

>>7002658
Well, keep mobile. Remember that they have armaments like ours. The occasional tank round to your leg guard won't do much, but a sustained burst of tank shells fired into your torso section will almost assuredly finish you, so work on avoiding their shots instead of relying of armor.

Use cover effectively, and don't waste ammo; try for short controlled bursts.

>>7002658
Use recorded footage from our entire squad. Compile it into a video that shows the positive and negative actions used against enemies, as well as the tactics we've seen them use.

I'm going for lunch. I'll be back in 20 or 30 minutes.

>>7002658
Confer with Zolomon and Jolyne about your battle with the Zanny at Roswell and the Zakus in the desert. Pay special attention to the new weapons the Feds seem to be fielding.

Also, try and schedule a meeting with the engineers to try and get a feel for what the Hidolfr is capable of.

>>7002658

Call California. Tell them to bring in our old buddy. El Meurto Grande >:)

>>7002658
wide area sweep at low speeds with sonar. We'd have to assume a high minovsky particle density so we're going to be primarily worried about enemy patrols getting out backsides. Normal Zaku armor should be effective against 120mm to the chest, but our backsides are going to be very open. So we should spread out in a staggered formation to maximize sensor range and so that each pilot can cover another's back

The individual Feddie MS pilot's skill in controlling a suit is entirely practical. The suits abilities, techniques, and limitations have been learned through combat and simple analyzing. We have an advantage based on your knowledge of MS theory and construction, in addition to our (although sometimes basic) training, this gives us a major advantage.

Use it.

>>7002638
>Can we get them to repair our saber?

Since you saved the blade: yes.

>>7002614
>So what part of it do they need tested? The armaments, the speed, armor, something else? All of it?

Pretty much all of it. Accuracy, effectiveness, handling, ability to traverse difficult terrain, if there are any bugs in the computer, the MT to MA transformation, how stable a firing platform is it... stuff like that. Basically all of the things that you had to go through when you were testing the Gouf Prototype.

>>7002623

>Perhaps we can send a missive out to the SE Asia front? I heard they have some mad scientist working on some assault mobile armor

I'm going to have to go: "Are you SURE you want to do that?" to that suggestion.

And we all know what that's GM speak for.

>>7002722
Would take 1 day to get it here. Pretty good idea actually.

As for tactics, 2 Zakus to pin down 4+ enemies with Cracker Grenades and a good stream of firepower while the rest singles out and eliminates one enemy MS at a time.

>>7002763
>I'm going to have to go: "Are you SURE you want to do that?" to that suggestion.
hmm, good point. May we take the Hildolfr out on the patrol as a long-range support unit/bait?

>>7002763
Well then, let's us and Zol get into a couple of spare MS (if they have any) and put the Hildolfr through it's paces. We have blanks for the weapons, right?

>We'll need to give them the quick and dirty, vital stuff on mass MS combat.
>We're talking 1-2 squads of Zakus vs as many Feddies Zakus + Tanks.

>Use it.

These are the main points brought up in your briefing. You all trade security codewords to make sure enemies don't manage to bluff their way into the base.

The Hildolfr is pretty much a Zeonic Guntank/Zakucannon+, once we get it back we should use it as just that.
Massive firesupport platform with at least one Zaku squad (doesn't have to be us, if we want to do some flanking) to make sure nothing gets into close combat with it.

>>7002722
>Call California. Tell them to bring in our old buddy. El Meurto Grande >:)

With the hardline repaired all the way back to base, you send out the call back to base to send you your old destroyer of nations.

How exactly were you thinking of them delivering it?

GIVE THE HILDOLFR TO ZOLOMON
advicezaku.jpg
WATCH A TANK RACK UP MELEE KILLS

>>7002902
If they happen to have an air transport scheduled to fly our way we could have them kick it out the back with a few parachutes attached to it.

We'll collect it once it lands. Would be the fastest option.

Otherwise, train?

Trials for the hidolfir should go something like:

Do all the tests similar to what we did for the Gouf,
Do them with the base's escorts in plain, obvious sight,
and have our squad concealed, ready to ambush any Feddie forces who try to attack the test.

>>7002902
>How exactly were you thinking of them delivering it?
You mentioned airdrop earlier.

>>7002902

Ookawara knows stuff about Mobiles suits and probably enough to land it. Air Drop.

how the hell did i miss this?

this is win OP, this is win.

>>7002902
Is airlift a viable option?

>>7002914
So crazy it just might work.

>>7002931

Seconding air drop, if they have the spare resources.

If they're stretched thin, a train is fine too.

>>7002939
THIS. NO TRAIN. MANNED AIRDROP.

WE DO NOT WANT OUR ORIGINAL SHITWRECKER GETTING STOLEN BY FED SCUM OFF TRAIN. THEY HAVE A TRACK RECORD OF TRAIN ROBBERY.

>>7002943
>So crazy it just might work.
Hell, in addition to his Hawks he'd now have a great honking club to work with.

As a bonus, said club also doubles as a cannon!

Can we meet the tank commander by chance? I'm not sure, but I assume the hidolfir requires a crew.

>>7002931

You ask for an airdrop, which given your status as a KNIGHT OF THE MOTHERFUCKING REALM FUCK YES YOU ARE they agree to.
The plane will make the drop in two days.

Also. The Hildolfr will arrive via Musai paradop on the 9th, in around 9 - 10 days. From there it will immiediately start it's test run, and afterwards it will be attatched to the 67th Depot. The Musai will take the test data back up into orbit and deliver it directly to Side 3.

CURRENT DEADLINES IN PLACE
TIME TO GOUF REPAIRED: 5 DAYS
TIME TO MS-06J ZAKU II AIRDROP: 2 DAYS
TIME TO HILDOLFR ARRIVING: 9 DAYS

Might be a good idea, once we get our Zaku II to do some scouting and locate any Federation bases in the area before the Prototype arrives.

So we have a proper testing field ready to go, if you catch my drift.

>>7003053

Oi, OP, since we're using one of the tiny run of Gouf Prototypes, doesn't this put us on priority for Gouf custom?

'Because i'm imagining what Zolomon could do with a suit built entirely for close combat.

>>7003053

Well, we're seless for two days, so we'll use the time to plan the Hidolfr trainin/ambush. Get in a jeep and scout out a training ground, one that's highly visible but has plenty of places to hide a squad of Suits in preparedness for an anti-tank amubsh.

Also look up what data we can on Magellas. That burnt letter, along with the mass of tank tracks is leaving me nervous. Knowing their capabilites and sharing them with our squad may be a lifesaver.

>>7003076
Hell, doesn't that put us in priority for the Efreet? Now that's one hell of a suit

>>7003076

I believe "Ridiculous Hax" is the words you're looking for.

Gouf Custom for Zolomon, Rick Dom for us and a Xamel for Jolyne.

HEAVENLY TRIO OF ZEON~

Later on, that is.

>>7003111
More like 'just plain broken.'

>>7003076
>>7003106

I'd be more happy with being on the priority list for a Gelgoog, myself. Thing has more power than a Gundam, and with our probably ludicrous skills by that point...

>>7003076

It might.

>Can we meet the tank commander by chance? I'm not sure, but I assume the hidolfir requires a crew.

That Tank Commander is one Demeziere Sonnen, he WAS famous in the Zeonic Artillery corps, but by looking through his profile, you can see that after he failed the MS test twice in a row, he went right off the rails.
Aside from mild drug abuse, the file also notes certain psychological issues, but notes that these issues do not appear to have impacted on his artillery skills and the assessment from the Medical Examiner is that he is still the best man for the job.

WHAT DO YOU DO IN THE TIME BEFORE YOU GET MOBILE SUIT ACCESS?
WHAT WILL YOUR SQUAD BE DOING?

>>7003127
Eh, I'm still gonna push for us getting a Rhino if at all possible.

>>7003090
Seconded.

>>7003150
See:
>>7003090

Also have our squad alternatley help us with scouting and supplementing the base defender's patrols.

I can foresee us fighting some uber-powerful feddy weapon in El Muerto Gigante.

Despite it being vastly outclassed.

Because of how goddamn badass it'd be to win on pure skill.

>>7003090
seconding this as well. We haven't picked up an operator, have we? Or did I miss a thread or four?

>>7003187
Unless the OP goes and steal from other Gundam shows/makes up some feddie MA the only powerfull Feddie Weapon will be along the lines of GUNDAM FFFFFFF

Suppose we'd find out in a hurry just how well we could dodge beam weapons.

>>7003150
PRACTICE. IMPROVE OUR SKILLS.

Jolyne should talk with Sonnen, compare technique for artillery usage. They should be able to help each other out a bit.

Can we order any customization to our gouf? Or since it's prototype, it can't be messed with? I'm thinking a kind of dead man defense system. Shotgun type system loaded into the pilot's compartment to prevent theft, etc. Maybe additional hardpoints for an extra weapon or ammo.

For us, we should spend the time going over MS v MS theory. Maybe run some simulations. Study some other shit, I don't know.

Maybe some out of suit training? Firing range, physical combat sparring with Zolomon, anything really.

>>7003187

Hell yes. Probably with our usual leg-rocket hax.

Ah, it's been a while. I've missed those things.

>Well, we're seless for two days, so we'll use the time to plan the Hidolfr trainin/ambush. Get in a jeep and scout out a training ground, one that's highly visible but has plenty of places to hide a squad of Suits in preparedness for an anti-tank amubsh.

You spend a day with several other planners working out a good test area close to the Depot. You pick a nice open area with several deep gullies that would make a good challenging test.

>Also look up what data we can on Magellas. That burnt letter, along with the mass of tank tracks is leaving me nervous. Knowing their capabilites and sharing them with our squad may be a lifesaver.

You become more familiar with a Megella Tank's capabilities. You trade more anti-tank ideas with your squad.

After two days, EL MUERTO GRANDE HAS ARRIVED.

You are now piloting one
MS-06J Zaku II (Ground type)

CHOOSE YOUR LOADOUT.

>>7003248

Also These:

>PRACTICE. IMPROVE OUR SKILLS.

>Jolyne should talk with Sonnen, compare technique for artillery usage. They should be able to help each other out a bit.

>>7003255
I'd forsee us copying Zol's ZAKU KYAKU

>>7003248
A Auto-Shotgun for our Gouf/MS of choice might be an awesome idea.

Wonder if we could get those Engineers to think something up. Ghetto style if need be.

Also seconding the "find us an OPERATOR" request. Need someone to handle all the paperwork and keeping track of objectives in the middle of battle.

>>7003261
MG. No bazooka. Tons of ammo. Lots of crackers.

>>7003150
An alcoholic and possibly unhinged?

He must be some kind of Tactical Genius to have this job...

>>7003261

Same as we used to have- MG, Heat Hawk, shitton of extra ammo and grenades. Also LEG ROCKETS.

Classic is best.

ALSO:

Talk with Zolomon about him possibly being a newtype. With those papers we've found, and our One Armed Bandit enemy, we might have noticed how Zol always seems to be able to pull off these amazing feats of badassery.

>>7003322
Ask him if he ever hears bells out of nowhere.

>>7003227
it's a bit meta, but the RX-78-2 doesn't appear until September, so we have at least until October (5-6 months) before we see the roll-out of the RX-79[G]s. That said, the Midnight Fenrir squad will be moving to California in the following months, so we might be able to join up or at least get some of their special equipment then. Of course, there's always someone tagging along behind them too...

pic very related. And scary. If OP throws this at us we're going to get our shit tossed.

>>7003261
Has the new 90mm machine gun been supplied yet (the one from zeonic front)? we could use an upgrade. Leg missile pods might be a welcome addition too

>>7003261
Oh leg-mounted RAWKETT LAWNCHAIRS, how I've missed you...

MG and Heat Hawk, 2 Crackers and 2 MG reloads.

>>7003349
I'm pretty sure we can carry more than 2 of each.

And is our saber repaired? Could we use it with our Zaku instead of an axe?

>>7003342
Why would we want a 90mm MG instead of the 120mm MG we have now?

>>PRACTICE. IMPROVE OUR SKILLS.

You spend another two days getting back into the feel of using the old Zaku again.

>A Auto-Shotgun for our Gouf/MS of choice might be an awesome idea.

Shotguns for Zaku use ARE currently available FYI. If you want to use one.

>Also seconding the "find us an OPERATOR" request. Need someone to handle all the paperwork and keeping track of objectives in the middle of battle.

You'd have to be your own unit to have one of those. Also, it's not really practical inside a high minovsky level area.
Couldn't hurt to ask once you get back to Cali though.

(best not ask here, you might end up with some grizzled old dude, instead of perhaps, some cute young idealistic girl who keeps getting growth spurts her uniform isn't rated for, for instance.)

>>7003342
Suppose there's always various Guntank prototype we could fight along with more Feddie Zaku variants.
And airplanes. Always the airplanes.

>>7003371

Oooh, yes. Can we have the saber instead of the hawk? At least until we get the Gouf back?

>>7003389
>you might end up with some grizzled old dude
If he's anywhere near as manly as Strauss I'd be cool with this.

And grab a shottie.

>>7003389
Go for the Auto-shotgun then, or maybe give that to Zolomon.
Jolyne: Long range
We: Medium range
Zolomon: Close range

>>7003379
AP Bullets, basically. Higher muzzle-velocity etc.
Our current 120mm can't really hurt the better Feddie armor found on say, the GUNDAM.

>>7003389

Why did you post a Z.O.E.2 pic in a Gundam thread?

What's the info on the shotgun(s) available?

Any other weapons available?

>>7003379
supposedly its lighter weight makes it far more accurate (it does have a much smaller clip size, though, at 32 instead of 100). Out-of-universe context is that the 120mm looked too wacky when they drew 0083. Zeonic Front retconned so that the 90mm was available during the OYW, as an upgrade (somehow). most subsequent media portrays it as thus

>>7003389
But, if we had a grizzled old dude, he might get into a duel with a certain other old dude in a certain feddie MS team.

OH, can we get some smoke dispensers installed into our Zaku?

>>7003427
Because tits.

>>7003475

I get the feeling that we're going to have this Zaku so insanely customized by the end of the war that it'd probably be on a par with the Gundam. Seriously.

The 90mm is F2 territory and you wont be seeing them just yet, so no it's not available.

The Shotgun is short ranged but highly damaging and a wide spread. Zolomon probably would make best use of it, and you broach to subject to him. He gleefully rearms his Desert Zaku with a Shottie.

>And is our saber repaired? Could we use it with our Zaku instead of an axe?

You can if you wish.

So final loadout:
You
120mm Machine Gun, (100 rounds, 4 reloads, left hip)
2x 3 shot Leg Mounted Rocket Launchers
4 Cracker Grenades (Right Hip)
Heat Saber (Back Plate)
Boxer Shield.

Zolomon
Trades 120mm MG for Shotgun.

Okay?

WHAT NOW THEN?

>>7003452
Or we could end up with a FAMOUS MOVIESTAR~

>>7003507
Good heavens, what have they been feeding that Kamfer? All the pokemans?

>>7003507
Aside from getting used to our suits, I guess we should recon the area we're planning to test the tank in. Look for any spots we may expect an ambush from, etc.

>>7003506
Hopefully we'll install ROCKETTO PAAAANCH capability at some point.

Might be time for a new thread soon, auto-saging and all that.

>>7003475

No, but you can take smoke grenades. There is a built in AP pod in all Zeonic MS now though.

>>7003506

You're gonna be that legendary Zaku from the Gundam-san manga.

>>7003507

Do some practice drills alongside the base's Zakus. Do some Melee Zaku-sparring with Zolomon. Target practice with Joylene.

Basically make sure everyone's the best they can be right about now.

>>7003507
Apart from investigating Zol's potential new-typeness, check in with Jolyne.

Make sure she knows we're not trying to ditch her when we split up, leaving her/sending her somewhere. Attempt to impress upon her it's because we trust her to take care of herself, yet (As heartfelt and sincerely as David can manage) we'll always be there to support.

>>7003571
This, and then scouting/recon.

>>7003590
And that we trust that she'll always be there to watch over us like a guardian angel. Hence keeping her in a tactical position to use her long gun.

>>7003487

Ken Marinaris *does* have a very nice rack.

>>7003389
>some cute young idealistic girl who keeps getting growth spurts her uniform isn't rated for, for instance.

Elaborate.

>>7003507
Now we play the waiting game...

Current time lines

TIME BEFORE GOUF IS REPAIRED: 2 DAYS
TIME BEFORE HILDOLFR ARRIVES: 6 DAYS
ADDITIONAL TIME NEEDED TO FINALISE ACTIVE FIELD TESTING: 2 DAYS TOTAL

YOUR ORDERS?

REQUEST AN EFREET CUSTOM FROM HIGH COMMAND.

>>7003659
Zol Newtype talk.

Now.

>>7003659
Program custom movements into our zaku. Trick shots, melee fighting moves for using our saber, "dirty tricks" that might not be expected. Collaborate with Zolomon on this. With our heads put together we should be able to come up with some tricky shit.

>>7003659
the crew need to relax and rest a bit as well. Organize a game of female-only beach volleyball?

>>7003659
So, we'll wait in in ambush and start shelling it from long range from Jolyne's artillery, then close in and start firing at the treads while it's hopefully pinned down in the hopes of immobilizing it. Once that's done, it's down for the count since it can't rotate its turret.

>>7003672
I brought this up twice already in this thread. Don't think we're gonna be getting one anytime soon.

Also, can we get this jacket?

>>7003682
I approve of this idea.

>>7003659

Finish up the testing plan, and then do some more recon and scouting. Practice ambush tactics with the team.

Keep the Zaku for now, we've just gotten used to it again. Don't want to waste time retraining ourselves for the Gouf right now. Keep it in reserve in case our El Muerto gets trashed somehow.

>>7003690
Where the hell did you learn to play volleyball?

>>7003682

Also this. Serious kung-fu of death stuff.

>>7003733
We should probably get some Martial Arts masters together with some Mo-Cap gear and see where that takes us.

Pic related.

>>7003681
>Zol Newtype talk.
>Now.

You broach the subject obliquely with Zol, but truth be told both of you only have the vaguest notion of what a newtype is that neither of you can be certain.
Though you DO bring up the time he took out a pair of airplanes with a heat hawk a lot.

From what you can tell, it might just be instinct on an incredible level, but then again, maybe this is what being an newtype is all about. Zolomon doesn't FEEL very new.

"Besides, I'm not the guy who's been fighting the war with his targeting computer switched off."

There is a brief uncomfortable pause.

"We get targeting computers?"

>>7003682

Given that you now have a good excuse to go tinkering around with your Zaku you discover the following.
It DOES have a targeting computer, but you honestly think that you'd be better off without it. It's probably good practice for you to do everything manually anyway.

You attempt to think up some interesting movement or fire patterns to pull in. You think up some rudimentary Sword and Shield maneouvers and add them in. You may have to remove them if you switch back to the axe though.

You also find out that your crackers can be set to a time, so you set some hotkeys out for this as well.

This takes one day.

After this, do you wish to do some Recon in an attempt to flush out some feddies? Another squad is about to go out on patrol, you could probably ask them to go with you.

just a thought, but what about giving the hildolfr to jolyne?

I mean, she -IS- the artillery-woman in the squad, and I don't think our command would be best utilized at long range away from the fight, we need to be able to see what's going on.

Just a thought.

>>7003786
>"We get targeting computers?"
Did we just an newtype?

>>7003797
...It seems so obvious in hindsight...

>>7003786
Yes, let's go on a double sized patrol.

Not as one cluster though. One group goes out to be seen, the other shadows them, keeping an eye out for ambushes and ready to pop out and flank any enemies.

>>7003786
>"Besides, I'm not the guy who's been fighting the war with his targeting computer switched off."

I lol'd so hard.

Anyway, going along with the recon squad sounds like a fine idea.

>>7003831
I lol'd harder at

>"We get targeting computers?"

>"Besides, I'm not the guy who's been fighting the war with his targeting computer switched off."

There is a brief uncomfortable pause.

"We get targeting computers?"

I loled.

>>7003786
Well damn. No David, you are the Newtype.

And then David was awesome.

Yes for going patrolling with another squad.

>"We get targeting computers?"

AHAHAHAHA Oh wow.

Recon, take the patrol with you. Zolomon and Jolyne can hold down the fort perfectly fine.

Also having El Muerto Gigante leading from the front is bound to make the morale of the patrol squad skyrocket.

>>7003819

You travel out on patrol, tryng to get a grounds eye feel of the local topography, whilst the first patrol group acts as bait. If they get attacked, they're to launch a red flare.

As you scan the area you see plenty of places were a tank or even a Zaku could ambush you from, and you keep a sharp look out at all times.

You complete your patrol with no problems today.

IT IS CURRENTLY EVENING - GO TO NEXT DAY?

>>7003913
>IT IS CURRENTLY EVENING - GO TO NEXT DAY?
GO TO MONTAGE

>>7003913
yes

>>7003913
Is there a bar on base?

Let's meet some lady folk.

>>7003913
NO

JOLYNE TALK TIME

Inquire into progress on Kampfer unit.

>>7003913

Well, we have nothing better to do. Although i'm wary about leaving the base undefended. Still, a good offense...

>>7003930
This.

>>7003951

About what? She PICKED the Zaku Cannon. She knows full well what being fire support entails.

The next day arrives. You decide that basic patrols might not turn anything up, and you look over the general area's geography to try and spot somewhere that the enemy might be holing up in.

You find three seperate areas. Travelling to either of them, patrolling, and returning will take a full day.

YOUR GOUF WILL BE FINISHED TODAY
HILDOLFR ARRIVES IN 5 DAYS
TIME NEEDED TO FINALISED TEST RUN: 2 DAYS TOTAL

YOUR ORDERS?

>>7004029
Go out with the rest of the squad and looks at those possible ambush sites. We will take our Zaku.

>>7004029

play knife games with the heat saber.....

for testing an pracice ofcourse

>>7004029

Take each potential area sequentially, with one squad. Have the other free squad stay at/close to the base. Leaving the facility undefended is probably a bad idea.

>>7004053

You pick a site that looks the most likely, and decide to head out. Don't forget you still need to finalise the tests for the Hildolfr before it arrives.

You can only do one possible site per day.

In any case, since were skirting close to the autosage, this TO BE CONTINUED.

>>7004155
Tomorrow then.

Just to clarify, they're will be a thread tommorow, and possibly one of sunday as well.
HOWEVER.
THERE WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY BE NO THREADS NEXT WEEK AS I WILL BE IN PORTSMOUTH VISITING MY NAN.

Also, the week after that: Friday is Christmas Day and Saturday is Boxing Day. So I doubt anyone is really going to be up for Zeonquest on the Friday. But I *MAY* do a special christmas themed one off Zeonquest episode for Boxing Day.

>>7004183

I wonder, what could this special christmas themed ZEONQUEST be about?

Hmm?

>>7004183
OP, where you from? i live in Southampton, damn close.

we need a regional /tg/ meetup gameathon

>OP, where you from? i live in Southampton, damn close.

I live in Cambridgeshire. I have family that lives in Portsmouth, which is why dad has decided that next week is the week where I drive down to Portsmouth, just so he knows that I can do it.

He better be prepared to pay £40 for petrol though.

My car is going to die, it's not MEANT for that sort of thing, it is a tiny, birdshit covered Micra (fucking birds, I'm going to find them and end them one day.) it is designed to get me around cities and light distance travel, it barely tolerates going past 60.

>i live in Southampton

Wait. What team do you support, you realise that as I support Portsmouth (because someone has to dammit) your answer is HIGLY IMPORTANT to if we can still be friends.
