status on repairs?

>>8664066
Weather over here's been warming up as well.

Your team: The elite independant corps: The Nachtmaren Unit was sent back to California a day after the battle of Neuvo Laredo.
You are arrive without incident (for a change) and are met by Garma Zabi himself as your Fat Uncle transports touch down.

"It's good to see that once again you all made it back Liuetenant Commander."

"It's good to BE back Lord Garma, conducting military operations in places I can't pronounce get's old kind of fast." You reply.

Garma laughs.

You store your Mobile Suits and make it back to your barracks area in central command, where you're able to get an update on the situation.

The Outer Heaven took heavy damage, and wont be out of the California dockyards for 2 weeks. During that time, personel have been loaned to various other posts. Captain Fontaine for instance is now the Captain of Lord Garma's Gaw. Your unit has been assigned to Lord Garma as well during the repairs, but as an idenpendant unit instead of his personal Honour Guard like last time.

Also, everybody apart from you get's a 1 rank promotion.

NEW RANKS!

Zolomon Ringo is now a: Lieutenant Junior Grade
Jolyne Brande is now a: Corporal
Hovis Goddard is now a: Corporal
Elaine "Ruubens" Arronax is now a: Private 1st Class
Calvin Hobart is now a: Private 1st Class

Usually this would result in your unit getting split up and reassigned to various places in need of a Lt and what not, but since your an independant unit, this doesn't apply.

Things seem to be quiet, no enemy naval activity, skies are clear as a far as Canada and you've heard no rumours about mysterious enemy Mobile Suits.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO FOR THE REST OF TODAY?

(the date is the 15th of September)

>>8664135
Is that in addition to the rank increase we got from the successful attack on Jaburo?

"So what do you have planned for us Garma?" Try to avoid showing just how much we want to know how he does his hair.

>>8664208

No, that IS the rank increase everybody got from Jaburo, it's just you were the only one to get awarded it right then and there. The rest had to wait until they got back to base before receiving official confirmation by post.

>"So what do you have planned for us Garma?" Try to avoid showing just how much we want to know how he does his hair.

Garma's not got anything planned at the moment. He might be planning a realtively low key trip to New York at some point next week, but that's it.

It looks like you have some free time.

>>8664281
Okay then. Well, it seems we've found ourselves some free time. Everyone, take the rest of the day off. Lord knows we deserve it after that operation. And then we'll see what tomorrow brings.

>>8664281
>>8664204
I say it's time to relax and PAR-TAY. Or you know, go see if we can't find ol' Incognito so we can get into some espionage shenanigans.

I believe it is time to find the nearest bar. The entire unit could use a few drinks after all that.

Actually, order Jolyne to find a bar and Zol to secure a transport, so Dave is free to run shenanigans until the preparations are done and drinking can commence.

Out of wonder, just see if Zeon is cooking up any new mobile suits we might be able to try out, such as one beginning with a K?

Party hard time?

What did we learn from that gundam that we sent here with the Outer Heaven?

>>8664298

You take the rest of the day off, and a well deserved day off it is too.

OMAKE

"Denim, Gene, Slender I have picked you because your skills ideally match the mission we face. As you know, we've been sent on a secret reconnaisance mission to side 7. Zeonic intelligence thinks that in spite of Side 7's vaunted neutrality, they have in fact thrown their pride as Spacenoids away and sided with the earth Federation. But worse than that, is that intelligence fears that they may be testing out Federation mobile suits there! It is our mission to discover the accuracy of these possiblities by infiltrating Side 7. And if they have enemy mobile suits, we are to capture or destroy them at all costs!"

"Aye, Aye Captain Char!" Reply the 3 men as they salute.

"As you know we have just entered total radio silence, from now until the completion of our mission we will be totally alone, deep behind enemy lines. There can't be any mistakes here gentlemen, but I know you are the men for the job."

"Sir!"

---

A young girl, no more than 14 knocks on the front door of a single floor home. She frowns her freckled brow as she receives no answer and then knocks a second time.

Still receiving no answer, she sighs, brushing stray brown hair from her short bob out of her eyes, and produces a keycard which she uses to unlock the door. She enters the house, as usual it's a mess, though not as bad as she's seen it in the past, she removes her shoes and moves through the living room and enters one of the bedrooms.
Inside a boy is using the computer, as always.

"Amuro! You've got to listen for people knocking on the door when your fathers away!"

"Whatever Frau Bow."

>>8664281
This would be a good time to run down those fake mustaches we wanted for the unit

We should also see about that gundam we picked up.

>>8664469
An Omake? Does that mean it's over for today?

Also, wait what? I thought they were just supposed to get intel and confirm, not destroy them. Is Char not doing as he was told?

Sunny as fuck over here Apologised! And Balmy! If only Finals weren't fucking it all up!

>>8664469
Oh jesus oh fuck oh god no no no no please no D:

Hey Apologised...

Pezun doesn't happen to need some test pilots at the current juncture... right? Because I could go for another week of rubbing elbows with aces and testing prototypes...

>>8664464
>What did we learn from that gundam that we sent here with the Outer Heaven?

Whilst work on the model is still in the early stages of analysis the following has become evident:
The frame was partially made out of that new Luna-Titanium alloy that the Federation have discovered. However certain parts were only armoured with standard Hardened Steel. This implies that there is a resources bottleneck the creation of Luna-Titanium, most likely the Lunarium from Von Braun.

Command is toying with the idea of blockading cargo ships found carrying Lunarium from Von Braun, but since it's a Neutral Luna colony, that would probably cause more problems than it would resolve.

Whilst the insides were heavily, near totally destroyed, what they were able to salvage from the wreck indicates that Federation mobile suits are equipped with Massive energy reserves, no less than 7 Fusion bottle reactors are housed behind it's hardy Luna-Titanium shell, which explains it's high level of mobility. The multiple reactor design has given some of Zeons MS design teams some ideas as well.

NEW TECH NOW AVAILABLE.

The Rick Dom refit is now being built.
The Dom Funf prototype is built, it's modular design will lead to the Unified Parts Plan in roughly 6 to 9 weeks.
A small run of MS-08 Efreets has been made.
A viable design of the Gouf Flight Type is available, but refit time is semi-lengthy, requiring at least 5 days work. Nor is the design being produced outright, only as a refit package.

IF YOU WANT AN EFREET IN THE HANGER, YOU ALMOST CERTAINLY HAVE THE CLOUT IN THE MILITARY TO HAVE ONE ASSIGNED TO YOUR TEAM.

>>8664505

Sometimes I do Omakes in the middle of the quest. I think.

It's only over if I have a great big NEXT TIME OF ZEONQUEST.png up.

FUCK YES!

Finally in time for a Zeonquest!

I'd go ahead and get a Efreet.

>>8664643
Awesome. Looks like lugging it back with us has really paid off.

An Efreet would be nice, but I honestly can't think of anyone to assign it to. Our Doms outclass it in almost every way, and Zolomon seems to vastly prefer his Gouf. We should probably ask him how he feels about refitting to a Flight Type.

>>8664643
Yeah, we'll take an Efreet. Not sure if we'll use it, but we'll sure as hell take one.

Also, Pezun? *hopeful grin*

Hooray Zeonquest!

As the person who suggested we let Elaine try the command thing out, I think we should talk to her about the experience. See what she felt like in command, her confidence in her ability, and how she think everyone responded. If she liked it and is interested, let's see about routing some commissioning papers for her

>>8664643
I never thought I would actually say this, but:

GIMME FUNF!

>An efreet is fine too.

>>8664643
Oh, also, which Flight Type are we talking about here? The old H models that had a slight problem with exploding in midair occasionally, or the newer H-8 types? Given we already have a Gouf Custom, I'm assuming the latter.

>"Amuro! You've got to listen for people knocking on the door when your fathers away!"

AAAAMURRRRRRO

>>8664643
They should pinpoint which places have the normal hardened steel so that we know which parts to aim for.

Also, fuck yeah, Unified Parts Plan! Seriously, that will be incredibly helpful to Zeon as a whole, even if we don't notice it ourselves.

Now can someone tell me about all these new MS that are being developed? Onyl one that sounds familiar is the Rick Dom, and I still don't know what it is.

oh hell yes, EFREET is so a go, did this effect the beam weapon research in anyway?

>>8664737
Rick Dom: Dom outfitted for space combat. Replaces hoverjet thrusters with rockets.

Efreet: We tested this in Pezun. Sort of a super-Gouf.

Dom Funf: all-environment Dom with hardpoints for various types of equipment. Can be refitted to the Dom Tropen desert type. Also can carry the massive 990mm Rakaten bazooka.

Gouf Flight Type: FLYING MS. However, it's still slow, maneuvers like a pig, and one of the prototypes blew up in midair, killing the test pilot.

>>8664737
Google MAHQ and each name. Then bookmark MAHQ.

>>8664772
Thank you. Can we get a couple of those Dom Tropen? I like the sound of that 990mm bazooka.

>>8664780
That sounds suspiciously like work.

>>8664772
>Dom Funf

Ach! You downplay it! "Various types of equipment" meaning modular ability to go from land mobile suit to space in a matter of hours! Not just terrain modules!

>Dom Funf

>>8664794
Just pick up the Dom Funf and you can have a Tropen ready in less then an hour. At this point, it's the perfect suit for an all-rounder like David.

oh and we should also have our Doms refit to the Dom Funf

>>8664643
Yes, for a formal response, David requests an Efreet, and requests at least one of the first combat-ready Dom Funf's.

That is possible right?

I say we get an MS-08TX Efreet for Zoloman.

>>8664824
It's not ready yet, but that's actually a good idea. Apologised can we refit into Funf's when that project is done or do we need to snag new suits?

>>8664843
I like this

We upgrade as many Doms as we can and maybe the Efreet to Elaine? Zolomons custom as kept him happy so far, but maybe we could see if the old girl can get any updates. I think we NEED to be the test pilot for the Funf, and run the hell out of it to make it as good as it can be. This is a good, sensible, long-term suit for Zeon.

>>8664737
>Now can someone tell me about all these new MS that are being developed? Onyl one that sounds familiar is the Rick Dom, and I still don't know what it is.

Okay, the Rick Dom is a space type refit for the Dom. In the war, it and the Rick Dom 2 were far and away the fastest space type Mobile Suit in production, although with their great weight that doesn't translate into agility. They're pretty much the Drag Racer of Mobile Suits.

The Dom Funf was a modular testbed design. Only one was built, but from that design were going to get things like the Dom Tropen and possibly the Xamel as well. It's modular design will also help advance something called the Universal Parts plan, where all mobile suits will be built using a common set of pieces.

This initiative results in the Zaku Kai, Rick Dom 2 and Gelgoog Jaeger, possibly the MS-18 Kampfer as well. All of them excellent mobile suits that in canon, appeared to late to turn the tide.

Also, on the subject of the Gelgoog. The first prototypes should be complete with beam weapons in about a month.

Oh and before I forget, the Pezun Project mobile suit development has been accellerated as well.

>>8664854
And then into the Tropens.

Also, and I realize that I might be beating a dead horse by bringing it up again, but can we try suggesting the reinstatement of the 120mm MGs for the tougher suits like the Dom? Or designing a more powerful MG for them, since they can handle the recoil much better than a regular Zaku.

>>8664898

Given how long Kampfer was used for, it should be given the most importance, and we should get one soon as we're able to.

>>8664898
Didn't the Funf undergo limited mass-production? According to MAHQ, a few units had been produced by the end of the war.

>>8664902
Go watch your Gundam Sam. 120mm MG still don't do much to a Gundam. But a better MG is definitely a worthy cause.

Anyway; Finalizing again; Request an Efreet, and the first 3 Funf upgrade kits for our Doms. If we can't get the first 3, we'll take the earliest we can get, but seeing as how we're the ones that are currently turning the Dom into a goddamn terror-weapon, it should be us.

>>8664711
>routing some commissioning papers for her

Professional development is serious business in Nachtmaren. We'll need some to volunteer for a collateral duty of being or Enlisted-to-Officer commissioning program. As Zol is currently the only other officer, we should delegate to him in rder to further promote is management skills. We've kind of snubbed in for his lack of leadership, this will be a nice way of showing him we care for his future and aren't just letting him get stale.

One day this war will be over and we'll need bright, good sense officers to keep Zeon from devolving into lazy pretty boys/girls who joined the military to kill time.

>>8664947
It's not necessarily about the Gundam. We're starting to face Feddie mobile suits that aren't as heavily armored as THE Gundam (which also had Plot Armor in addition to Lunar Titanium.), and as such the smaller 90mm, while good against tanks and ground attack vehicles, might not be the best thing to bring against them. So far, our MG rounds have done pretty much nothing, so if we can get an improved MG design in the works that's actually capable of harming the enemy MS, then it would allow non-specialized forces like us to stand a chance.

>>8664982
Historically the 90mm was effective against everything the 120mm was. Sure wrecked GMs any time it was around. Not sure if this will extend to Gundam (G)s, but it very well might.

Any orders from the higher ups?

>>8665000
Alright, fine. But we are both in agreement that a new design would be good, no?

>Anyway; Finalizing again; Request an Efreet, and the first 3 Funf upgrade kits for our Doms. If we can't get the first 3, we'll take the earliest we can get, but seeing as how we're the ones that are currently turning the Dom into a goddamn terror-weapon, it should be us.

Again, the Dom Funf is just a testbed, a couple are made for testing purposes only, they don't (in this AU at least) see combat.

You can have the Efreet though, since the Outer Heaven technically still has a free slot. Although you might need to find a new pilot.

Note that your old friend Shiro Amazaki is currently available.

>>8665000
On top of that, all Fed machinegun designs were 90mm up through 0083, including the GM Custom's unique rifle design. As far as I can remember, the only suit that returned to a higher caliber was the Hizack.

>>8665076
...Meh.

Any chance we could get Ramirez? He lived, didn't he? Or maybe he'd be better out on the front lines?

>>8665042

Not currently, you spend the rest of the 15th taking a well earned break and you all go out and get blotto.

The next morning you wake up somewhat late at 10am.

YOU HAVE A FREE DAY, YOUR ORDERS?

I'd nix the efreet request... except our dom is currently wrecked and all we have in reserve is an f2 zaku. It would be a reasonable backup suit.

On an unrelated note, did Ramirez survive the last battle?

>>8665076
Oh hell no, we are NOT giving the rookie an Efreet! And on the Funf note, how soon until the Tropen is available? I think we should grab a trio of those.

>>8665076
Shiro, huh? The kid did have potential, all he needed was the experience needed to refine it.

I say we give him a shot. We've got some down time, maybe we could use some of it drilling him into good enough shape to keep up with the rest of us. As he is now, an Efreet might be a bit of a tall order for him to handle.

>>8665100
see
>>8664711

I'm a bit curious on what she thought of TACTICAL COMMAND

>>8665076
Hm, well, if we could get one for David, it might be worthwhile.

As for Shiro, has he amassed any combat experience? Any noteworthy changes in his record?

Anyway guys, I've gotta split. I've got a Final to go Nachtmaren on. See you chaps in a bit!

>>8665100
See ->>8664711

>>8665093

Sure. Anyone got a good base I could use as a pilot picture though?

>>8665107

You don't have to. I'd assume that you or someone else would be switching to it, remember, just because Jolyne always uses the Dom Cannon lately doesn't mean that she can't use any other suit.

There's a reason why I ask what Mobile Suits the pilots are riding in before every mission you know.

See how the war is progressing and then go have the obligatory beach episode.

>>8665158

>>8665178
Oh, right. Well, I guess we DO still have our old Zaku 2... Can we get a report on his progress from... oh god, what's our secretary's name again? Anna? And Ramirez's report too. See their records and whatnot.

>>8665184
'cept that's not Ramirez, that's his Seargent Foley.

>>8665179
We already had one of those. Search the archives for it. It says Obligatory Beach Episode in the description.

>>8665184
RAMIREZ.

POST ON /tg/ WITH THIS SNIPER RIFLE.

>>8665158

Apologized, why don't you request a pic of the Nachtmaren Unit from one of /tg/'s drawfags instead of shooping stuff on your own from random sprites and screenshots? I'm sure they'd welcome a chance to draw something not Warhammer or D&D for a change...

>>8665249
Additionally, it would allow more focus on the questin'

> As for Shiro, has he amassed any combat experience? Any noteworthy changes in his record?

He's been part of Garma's Honour Guard since you left him. According to his dossier, he took part in the Naval battle of California that you ended a while back, he's also fought alongside Garma in about three other engagements.

As for Ramirez, he's seen plenty of frontline action as he was stationed in Mexico and Arizona. Mostly insurgents and Federation Holdouts, Don Martin and Nuevo Laredo was his first major battles.

>>8665249
I like this. Alternatively, this could be Ramirez.

He's just a rape machine, and he don't work for nobody but you...

>>8665303
I'd say requisition Ramirez. Encourage Shiro to keep Garma safe, we're depending on him.

Maybe I'm being greedy, but why not recruit them both? At least get our unused mobile suits onto the field and working for us instead of taking up space on our mother ship.

>>8665319
Can we not use that pic? Considering the connotations it has behind it.

>>8665303
Yes, but how well has he done? Just being part of the Honor Guard and taking part in the battles means little. Did he do well? Was he reckless?

>>8665356
We only have one extra slot for a MS on the Outer Heaven. It's not going to do wonders for team morale if we keep benching someone every battle.

Anyway, it looks like Shiro actually has more frontline experience then Ramirez. Ramirez is a survivor, no doubt, but our missions are far more demanding then what he's probably used to.

>>8665380
But Shiro's only been a pilot for a few months. Where did you get the idea that he has more combat experience? Ramirez is the one who's been on the front lines since the start of the war.

>>8665319

Oh god, you can't use that. For a start, Ramirez is black.
Also, for various reasons, does anyone know if were getting another FSNQuest today? I'm kind of hoping he gives it a rest for the weekend, as it's something I'd like to take part in. And if I try to do this AND FSNQuest I know I'll end up crossposting by mistake.

>>8665356

You've only got one more free MS slot on the Outer Heaven, so what would he do? They're not going to let you take a pilot off the front lines just to twiddle his thumbs are they?

>>8665380
But we are also getting a new suit, so we will have that one Zaku, and then what ever suit is left over when someone transfers to the Efreet.

That or give our Zaku to a unit who is really hurting for one else where.

>>8665403
I'm leaning towards Ramirez. It'll also be good because this way our show's demographics will be better proportioned.

>>8665403
I believe OP of FSN Quest mentioned next updates next week apologized so no worries about Crossovers....unless we summon Zolomon as BERSERKER.

>>8665458

Zolomon's not mad, just eccentric!

>>8665407
El Muerte stays, unless it's going to someplace that desperately needs it. I'm still hoping our final battle will be in the suit that started it all.

>>8665540
I'd rather see us in the Galgoog, using the same paint scheme

How about this? He's too old for this shit but keeps on fighting the good fight~

Wants to take up beekeeping when he retires.

>>8665579
Bees you say?

Then there's the young alternative from a not-Gundam show.

Okay, we'll go with this.

So, what do you want to do for the next few days since you haven't been ordered to do anything, and the Outer Heaven is in the shop?

The Efreet should arrive by day 3. If you had the Outer Heavern you could probably have travelled to Pezun yourself and picked it up earlier.

Ramirez should arrive either by the end of today (the 16th) or early tommorow.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>8665696

What the hell is Lt. Marango doing there?

Get some rest, tomorrow start training the rookie

Basic relaxation mode, light training at least for a couple days. Debrief Elaine, get her thoughts. Check in with everyone else, see if anyone has troubles. Chillax with Garma, etc.

>>8665722

Oh wait, that's the guy from Dragonar isn't it. My bad.

Okay, I'm getting my dinner now. See you in about 30 mins.

>>8665713
Let's chat with Elaine. See what she thought of being in command.

Ramirez just got serious.

Also: Maybe we should try updating us on the strategic situation, see if our actions have had any effect elsewhere.

Training is good too, of course. Chatting it up with our troopers as well. See if we can find any Newtype lab like person?

TRAIN! TRAIN HARDER!

>>8665713
Operation: Go Nachtmaren on Final: Status: Complete. Epic fucking success.

Anyway, I say we go to Ookawara and give him the spec for the Efreet, and see if there's anything nifty he can do with it. I'd also see if he can get some Dom-style Hoverjets on there. If he can do that, it would be cash-maximal. Otherwise, train, and work on our Combat Thesis, particularly regarding MS to MS combat, effective raiding tactics, and high speed maneuvers.

Oh, I just had an idea! Can the R&D people refit the captured GM? You know, replace the gutted innards with our tech, but keep the Lunar Titanium armor?

>>8666160
A thousand times more useful to let our people study it, and learn how to MAKE Lunar Titanium.

>>8666076

>work on our Combat Thesis, particularly regarding MS to MS combat, effective raiding tactics, and high speed maneuvers.

This, as well as the other paper's we've been working on and have yet to finish.

>>8666179
Can we do that? Does Zeon ever learn how to make the stuff? If we could start armoring our MS with it, we'd really even the odds with the Feddie MS.

>>8666076
I doubt he could do as much as add hoverjets, since the Dom's legs and skirt are positively humongous to hold them. That and the Dom was a Zimmad product, while the Efreet looks more like a Zeonic one.

>>8666251
Yeah, but the Efreet Custom at least (which only features extra weapons.) can move like the Dom. At least it does in the Blue Destiny Manga. (I own it.) It can switch between walking and boost charging. If we could make the hover-boost its primary movement method, it'd be perfect.

Also, we should really start putting some time into that thesis on Zeonic occupation. You know, not being total assholes, winning over the common man, that sorta thing. Not raping should be a major thing.

>>8666294
You're sure it's hoverjetting and not just boost charging? Most suits after the J-type Zaku can do that in short bursts.

If Ookawara can come up with bolt-on units like the GM S-Armor's, then that would be sublime, but that seems like a bit much for a hanger technician.

>>8666303
I don't know how effective this would really be-
Isn't the type of soldier who is likely to rape also the type to ignore a recommendation to not do so.

>>8666303

Occupation thesis sounds good.

Also we should finally request an infantry component to be permanently attached to Nachtmaren.
A single platoon, with Wappas if those fit on the Outer Heaven in addition to what else she is carrying. (Second platoon would be nice, but I think the added mobility is more important.)

>>8666476
Def. Hoverjetting over short distances.

And don't doubt Ookawara. He's motherfucking Ookawara.

>>8666479
Maybe, but it's a step in the right direction to try and get this kind of stuff done. Besides, if it's not allowed then that means that if it's found out the person would be punished for it, so that could very well prevent the problem before it happens, by making them realize that it's not worth the risk.

>>8666554
I would hope that Zeon's military laws already forbid rape.
But a general occupation thesis is probably not a bad idea. We should ask Garma and his girlfriend for help with this as well

>>8665876
>Training is good too, of course. Chatting it up with our troopers as well. See if we can find any Newtype lab like person?

There are currently no personel from the Flanagan Institute on the base.

>>8666223
>Can we do that? Does Zeon ever learn how to make the stuff? If we could start armoring our MS with it, we'd really even the odds with the Feddie MS.

Axis learn how too by Zeta, but I don't think you manage it during the war.

>>8666507
>Also we should finally request an infantry component to be permanently attached to Nachtmaren.
A single platoon, with Wappas if those fit on the Outer Heaven in addition to what else she is carrying. (Second platoon would be nice, but I think the added mobility is more important.)

You file a formal request for a unit of Mechanised Infantry to be attatched to the Nachtmaren unit. You'll have to see what sort of response you get.

>>8665965
>TRAIN! TRAIN HARDER!

Okay, so use the days to train further with your squad and to work on the Combined Arms Doctrine and Post-Occupation Thesis in the evenings?

When Ramirez arrives you'll have to pick what Mobile Suit you want him to train in.

>>8666705
What no love for my Ookaware Efreet modification idea Apologised? T_T

>work on the Combined Arms Doctrine and Post-Occupation Thesis in the evenings?

I'd say take part of the day, too. Have Zolomon run close combat training, while we sit down and do our booky stuff.

>When Ramirez arrives you'll have to pick what Mobile Suit you want him to train in.

A Dom. Then the Efreet once we have it.

>>8666705
Sounds good. As for what suit to train Ramirez in... If none of us are going to use the Efreet right now, I suppose we might as well let him test/train in it.

>>8666705

Here's a question. Can an Efreet use a Dodai? It'd be nice to have more air-capable units available.

>>8666761

Now that I think about it, the Efreet from Gihrens Greed did actually scoot about everywhere like it's a dom. So I think in truth the Mobile Suit comes with Dom style Hoverjets as standard. Although they aren't as good as the Dom's, they're closer to the performance of the Dom Prototype.

Remember that?

>>8666705

ALSO, do we have any weapons Calvin could use with his Zaku Flipper? Not that I think he should ever be counted as a main combatant, but it'd be nice if he could fight back against air forces on his own.

>>8666952

Yes. An Efreet can use a Dodai with no problems. It's a little less agile than a Zaku, but it's hardly noticeable.

>>8666999
It wan use a 90mm MG I think.

>>8666992

It'd be nice if there were more info on it, but MAHQ has almost none on the standard Efreet. I don't suppose there's any better info anywhere else?

>>8666999

He's been using a 90mm as a back-up weapon forthe last couple of missions. I see no reason why this couldn't be a standard outfit for him.

>>8666992
Then let us talk to Ook about getting them up to Dom specifications, if at all possible. And if not, let's talk with him about some integral weapons.

>>8667040

Good stuff, I just didn't recall if we'd discussed this before. Be nice if he could get a load of smoke grenades too. He'd have the most chance to see through the smoke, and given his MS fragile nature he'd have the most chance to benefit from them as well.

>>8667096
Maybe also bring up the idea about a new MG design?

>>8667040
Can we spend alittle time with Garma? he's a buddy, afterall...ask him about that chick too

Now that I think about it, didn't we have an aside where Ookawara was coming up with something exciting, but we haven't actually properly spoken to him since then?

>>8667007

Then I would suggest David uses the new suit himself. Being able to get airborne on a Dodai will improve on his talents as an allrounder.

And we should talk with Zolomon about getting him a new MS. The Gouf is all fine and good - but it has been shot up pretty badly in all our recent engagements. It's lower armour and lower speed compared to our mainstay Doms makes it just too fragile.

>>8667225
So maybe a Gyan? honestly the Gouf is as good as it's going to get for close combat till the Galgoog comes around.

>>8667225
Well if we move to the Efreet than that frees up our Dom for him to use.

>>8667282

I was thinking of having Ramirez in our old Dom.

Hey guys, can someone post quick descriptions of the members of the Nachtmaren Unit? I'm gonna go request a drawfag to draw a lineup of them.

>>8667340
Then what will Zol pilot? If we take the Efreet and Ramirez the Dom, that just leaves regular F2s and his Gouf, which you had said was getting banged up.

Only swap David to the Efreet if we can get it up to a Dom's mobility level. That being said, what are the Pros to Cons with the Efreet vs. Dom, Apologised?

>Then let us talk to Ook about getting them up to Dom specifications, if at all possible. And if not, let's talk with him about some integral weapons.

You pencil in a talk with Ookawara when the Efreet appears.

You spend the next two days training Ramirez upto Nachtmaren standards whilst working on your essays.
You receive notification that two 15 man platoons of Mech.Infantry have been attatched to the Nachtmaren unit, as well as a message from Garma to see him in his study.

When you arrive Garma asks you to take a seat. He seems serious.

"Lt. Commander, what do you know about Char Aznable, the Red Comet?"

"He's an infamous ace pilot, scored something like 10-15 kills in Loum, always wears a mask. Why?"

"Four days ago, he was put together a team and left for Side 7, as we suspected that they were testing Federation mobile suits there in breach of their neutrality. Roughly and hour ago, the Falmel broke radio silence to reveal that the Federation had enemy mobile suits on Side 7, and that two of the infiltration team had already been killed. Captain Char is going to persue the enemy Carrier, and as of now all of Zeonic forces on Earth are on full alert. All indications are that this new mobile suit is several orders of magintude more powerful than anything we've encountered before, including the Mobile Suit you had trouble with Jaburo. I think you should get read Lt. Commander, I think we are approaching the point where one way or another, this stalemate is coming to an end."

You're dismissed.

THE EFREET ARRIVES TOMMOROW.
YOUR ORDERS?

>>8667428
This.

>>8667282

The efreet is made for close combat, right? Perhaps we should put Zol in that, it IS his mainstay after all; can't hurt to make him even better at it. More durability is a good plus though.

>>8667467
Okay, have Ramirez get used to the Efreet. Be ready to support Char is we're called to. What day is it? How are the Outer Heave's repairs going?

>>8667427

That's the problem...

>>8667428

I'd say being able to mount up on a Dodai makes it way more mobile and flexible than a Dom.
The Dom is superior in pure ground mobility, but overall a Dodai is a big mobility asset.

Truth be told, I sorely missed Dodais for David and other Nachtmaren pilots more than once since we've gotten in our non-mountable suits...

>>8667375
>Hey guys, can someone post quick descriptions of the members of the Nachtmaren Unit? I'm gonna go request a drawfag to draw a lineup of them.

Here, this represents ALL of the Nachtmaren units MS pilots.
From top to bottom, left to right you've got
Anita Fairchilds (Our Unit Operator)
Hovis Goddard, Calvin Hobart
Elaine "Ruubens" Arronax (with fake mustache) Jolyne Brande, Zolomon, and David.

>>8667467
Begin running simulations against the suit Bandit was in, and adjust its power levels accordingly. (Kinda like what Amuro did for the Gouf with a Zaku J. I know its not a great idea, but its the best we can do right now.) Inform our team of what Garma told us, and let them know that shit is probably gonna get real soon.

>>8667529
Just put Zol and Ramirez on Dodais. Zol has the Gouf, Ramirez the Efreet. Or the other way around, whichever you prefer. There, we have our fast attack unit, whereas Elaine and us form the main ground force, with Jolyne and Hovis providing support fire.

Tell Ramirez to take on the White base with a Zaku 1.

>>8667514
This guy makes a great fucking point. But do remember, Amuro had trouble with a standard Gouf. (That was with Ral piloting it though.) A B3 is much better than that. And Zol in his B3 beat us in our Efreet on Pezun, so don't jump to conclusions. And Dom's are fucking Rape regardless. While we may not be able to mount on Dodai's, our ability to outclass anything we engage on the ground is very very very important.

>>8667514
>>8667428

Dom Vs Efreet

The Dom has a higher ground speed and can swiftly change direction whilst hoverjetting.

The Dom has the blinding Scattering Particle Spray.

The Dom can fire it's 330mm whilst on the move.

Their armour is roughly equal.

The Efreet has greater jump thrusters and agilty.
The Efreet can duel weild light and even medium weapons without great loss of accuracy or damage to the joints.
The Efreets close combat ability can be superior (depending on loadout)
The Efreet has a smaller profile.
The Efreet can use a Dodai

>Outer Heave's repairs going?

You're 3 days in to a 2 week job.

>>8667467

I'd like to request Garma to send us to battle the Gundam as soon as possible. We're going to have to fight it eventually, and it's better we do it now while Amuro is still learning how to pilot and angsting about the shit he needs to do.

>>8667617
Though we should still try and stay the fuck away from the Gundam, right?

>>8667581

Wo fared better against Federation aircraft so far? Zolomon or David? I honestly do not remember.

Seeing that Dodai mounted suits are our (Nachtmachen's not Zeon's) mainstay for combating enemy fighters (apart from flak), whoever is better at dealing with them should be in the Dodai-capable MS.

>>8667659
Way to Meta.

>>8667656
So if we get Ook to improve the Thruster specs on the Efreet and possibly design some recoil comp. for the 330mm, the only leg the Dom has up on the Efreet is the Scattering Beam Gun. If we can get it up to Dom Specs, I think its worth giving it to David. Ramirez could do better in a Dom, IMO.

>>8667682
Zolomon has more Aircraft kills than us. It's those crazy Heat Hawk throws of his. Taking down an entire wing of Fin Fans and whatnot.

Maybe we should review our combat data against the feddies Gundams and develop an uplifting primer for Zeonic forces? So they dont stumble into shit blind. Gundam or not.

>>8667718
Even with enhanced recoil comp. I'm still not sure it would be able to fire the 330mm while moving like the Dom can, especially if it's on a Dodai at the same time.

>>8667718

Well, the reason I gave in >>8667659 is meta, sure, but there's a lot of other in-game reasons to request to be sent up to face the Gundam. For instance, we have the most experience in fighting Federation MS units than any other unit in Zeon.

>>8667736
We're already doing that. And its a Tactical Thesis not a goddamn uplifting primer. And I think David is better suited for the Efreet if we can get it up to Dom specs. It sounds like a little too high-end for Ramirez.

>>8667781
Too high-end for Ramirez maybe, but Zol would probably be able to really wreck stuff with it, and Ramirez could use the Gouf. I'll admit, I'm really attached to our Dom and would prefer that we keep piloting it.

>>8667617

>And Zol in his B3 beat us in our Efreet on Pezun, so don't jump to conclusions.

Exactly, he beat us in, forgive me if I'm wrong, an inferior suit. It just seems most beneficial to give him a suit that would increase his ability to melee it up, though I do agree both choices have their pros and cons.

However, a few people stated we want to keep David as a well rounder, the Dom seems much better suited to that than taking the CC focused Efreet for ourselves.

>>8667815
True. Dom's are godly. But if we can get the Efreet up to the Dom's mobility specs, I think David should take it. Its a much more well rounded suit. And Zol has key experience with one weapon that may be the most important weapon on the team should we go up against the Gundam, which is the Heat Rod. I'd rather have Zol and his fucking Hax behind that than Ramirez.

We should request the gun cam footage from Char's engagement with the gundam and try to figure out a way to destroy it.

>>8667840
Efreet CAN be CC focused, but not necessarily. See Apologised's post on it. I think the Efreet is a much better suit for David, again, if we can get it to something approximating the Dom's mobility.

>>8667856
Couldn't the Efreet use Heat Hawks/Rods if Zol's piloting it?

>>8667889
Heat Rod is integral to the Gouf. So unless we modify it on there, probably not. I'd be much more willing to leave Zol in his Gouf.

>Ramirez could do better in a Dom, IMO.

I think so, too.

Also, David has a knack for testing stuff (or he just likes it...).

So I'd say for the time being it's David in the Efreet, Ramirez in David's old Dom, and Zolomon still in his Gouf.

If the Efreet works out for us, we could probably request a second one for Zolomon. If it turns out to be not so good, we just get another Dom.

>>8667864

In fact, I say we request a meeting with Char. We've got experience fighting Fed mobile suits, and now he does too. We need to exchange intel, talk strategies.

>Begin running simulations against the suit Bandit was in, and adjust its power levels accordingly.

The Efreet arrives as planned, you go to the hanger to talk to Ookawara there about pimping it out.
You find that Zolomon is already there talking with Ookawara.

"Look, we can't put a giant spiked ball on the end of your heat rod! The things attatched to your forearm!"

"Well, how about just making me a ball on a retracting line of some kind? I could store it on the weapons pod or something!"

"I have seen the footage of you fighting that thing you know! There's a reason the thing had built in thrusters!... Look, I'll ask around, maybe there's some old funny project with something similar, okay?"

"Thanks man! That'd be great."

You walk past Zolomon as he leaves, you both wave at each other as you pass.

"What do YOU want?" Ookawara asks.

"About the Efreet, is there anyway we can get the hoverjets up to Dom standard?"

"Not without completely replacing the legs, which would bugger the mobility up. The backpack thrusters pushing a fair bit of power, and whilst we could probably find a way to boost the output, we don't have decent enough heat shielding to make any kind of use for it without melting the vents. Remember back in the Zaku, when you used to to that all the time with your unplanned HANO drops onto the enemy?"

"That was only unplanned a couple of times! So, what about some kind of built in weapons?"

"Not a clue, I'll have a look though, some of the old Desert Zaku's wrist vulcans might work. Head Vulcans are going to be out though. Anything more involved than that would involve a weeks works or worse."

"Well, tell me if you come up with anything."

In the meantime, having told the unit about the new enemy mobile suit, everyone's on edge. You've got them practicing Anti-MS drills, with Ramirez using old El Muerto Grande.

>>8667781

Also, remember our paper on Zeon Peace Keeping efforts behind the main front.

We've mainly been focusing on our tactics paper, we should start work on our Peace Keeping stuff.

The best way to stop the Federation is to get the popular vote.

Besides, we don't want anything more to scar our psyche <_<

>So I'd say for the time being it's David in the Efreet, Ramirez in David's old Dom, and Zolomon still in his Gouf.

Okay so, what's the full team loadout? Who's practicing in what?

>>8667953

If we don't want damaged psyches maybe we should institute some R&R rotas while its still quiet. We won't have a chance to rest once the fighting flares up again for a long time.

>>8667934
Let's start training in the Efreet then. Split time between it and our Dom. Have Ramirez split time between Muerto and the Dom. Begin customizing loadouts for the Efreet. Have standard Loadouts ready for Anti-MS, Anti-Air, and Anti- Ground (Tanks and Land Battleships) for the Efreet. We'll make the call on what we want. I'm leaning toward the Efreet. The added ability to Jump along with Scooting at Dom Prototype velocities has me very very intrigued. We also don't lose any armor, which was my primary worry.

>>8667934
So it's not going to be able to match the Dom's speed or directional change ability.

>>8667997
Efreet Loadouts-
Primary Ranged: Mixing and Matching between 2 Zaku Zooks, 2 90mms, 2 120mms, and 1 330mm 'zook (We can't dual wield those, right?).
Primary Melee: 2 Heat Sabers, Heat Rod if possible. (Which I don't think it is).

Everyone else; Standard Loadout.

Training Schedule:
Focus- Anti-MS Training, with a focus in engaging enemy high-performance MS.
Get Ramirez used to the Dom. Get him used to the 330mm 'zook.
Elaine can train him.
David and Zol work on Melee drills together. Hopefully we can pick up some of his tricks.
Hovis and Jol work on quick redirects of Artillery Fire.
Cal works on scanning in High Minovsky Environments, as well as keeping communications up in those environments.

>>8667997

David - Efreet
Zolomon - Gouf
Jolyne - Dom Cannon
Elaine - Dom
Calvin - Flipper
Ramirez - Dom

Hovis - Rhino

Also start training with our infantry, as soon as they arrive. Combined arms and stuff.

>>8668122

I agree with this with one addition, we should train Jol and Hovis in mid to close range combat as well.

Mobile suits tend to pop up closer and closer now...

>>8668048

You begin practicing in this configuration, working out different weapons loadouts for the Efreet, making sure Ramirez has the skills to handle a Dom, when the call from head command comes in. You immiediately go to Garma's study.

"The time has come gentlmen." He simply states.

"As you know, Captain Char and his mobile suit team has been pursuing the enemy from Side 7. We know believe that the enemy Carrier, codenamed by Zeon command as the Trojan Horse.. [a picture of it appears on a projector screen behind him, you recognise it as the ship that escaped Jaburo on the day of your attack.] is trying to make an atmospheric descent to Jaburo. Captain Char believes that he can force the enemy to alter it's trajectory to Zeonic territory, but he requires reinforcements to do it. I'm sending you. We only have 1 HLV ready on such short notice however and it's fueling now. I have alerted the engineering teams and they are working furiously to convert your three Dom's to space type Rick Dom's as we speak. They assure me the job will be done in time for your launch at 12. Any questions?"

NOTE: YOU WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO PLACE 3 MOBILE SUITS IN THE HLV, SO YOU WILL HAVE TO CHOOSE 3 PILOTS.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>8668140

This. I'd like to meet our infantry commanders while we got some down time, we might not have a good chance with the war about to heat up, big time.

>>8668178
You, Zoloman and Elaine

>>8668178
Us. Zol. Fuck. Um, either Jolyne or Elaine. Or Calvin for the extra sensor data... Crap, I don't know.

>>8668178
Us, Zolomon, and Elaine.

All in Rick Dom's with 330mm 'Zooks, 90mm MGs, Heat Sabers, and Reloads.

>>8667536
...

This is probably a ridiculous question, but is Calvin secretly a woman?

>>8668178
Us, Zolomon and Jolyne.

>>8668236

Hahaha, thats Elaine.

Elaie was pretending to be a man.. for some reason which escapes me at the moment.

I'm agreeing with the Zolomon, Ruubens, Lister Triumvirate.

AND WE GET TO WORK WITH CHAR!

>>8668229
You know what, go with Elaine. I suppose it'll be us in the Efreet, Zol and Elain in Rick Doms?

>>8668236

No. This isn't Monstrous Regiment you know.

So, you Zol and either Jolyne or Elaine PICK ONE.

>>8668178
I'd take Jol, Zol and (of course) Dave. Leave the other ones behind to continue practicing ground based operations, and be prepared for the probability that if we succeed, they will come down to earth before we do.

>>8668298
Because she's from Texas Colony, or something like that, and they don't let women enlist.

>>8668178

David, Zolomon, and Jolyne.

>>8668298

Also, our theme:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLlJD7EAsYg

>>8668307
>Monstrous Regiment
And then Strauss was actually a woman too.

>>8668298
I know who Elaine is, I've been reading Zeonquest since the beginning, I just thought Calvin's portrait looked a bit feminine.

>>8668233
Actually check what I said. Everything is the same, except instead of a Heat Saber for Zolomon, get him 2 Heat Hawks.

>>8668323

... actually, lets go it old school...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4SXN1_kWuc

Elaine, Zol, and Us

LET'S DO IT

>>8668299

Efreet is ground type only. Sorry.

So, over all call seems to be Elaine.

The three of you all take identical loadouts and then await the launch.

In the mean time, Garma takes to the skies with his Gaw's and a heavy percentage of California's Dopp forces. He will be patrolling around the suspected drop site, to intercept the enemy if they should make a successful re-entry.

You salute him as he leaves, and then turn to your own mission.

Two tense hours follow. But eventually your hastily refitted Rick-Doms (it's mostly just working on the legs, and adding some software adjustments) are ready and the HLV is fueled.

The countdown begins and you brace yourself for that familiar but still uncomfortable feeling of being practically crushed into your pilots seat.

"...3...2...1, Lift-Off! We have Ignition!"

And sure enough there it is.

>>8668347
Do you think with the Doms extra carrying capacity that he could strap a couple of extras to his back? Also, for someone who said that one of Zols main draws was his abilities with Heat Sabres, you seem remarkably quick to dispose of them.

>>8668436

....

IT'S A GUN--

...horse?

*EXPLODES*

>>8668436
Awh, no Heat Hawks for Zol? Whatevs.

LET'S FUCKING DO THIS.

>>8668463
Heat Rod, my friend. Heat ROD.

>>8668436
sing a sea-shanty with our men. it might be the last time we get to.

>>8668436
Wait wait wait.The rest of our team is going with Garma, right? RIGHT?

>>8668436
I'm nervous now. This is the start of a long road of disappointments while fighting the Gundam. We can only hope we don't die.

One of our wingmen (or whatever it's called for mobile suits) is going to die on this mission. I can feel it.

>>8668506

...keikaku doori....

>>8668514

That would be Zolomon. Elaine is plot armored.

>>8664066
Any archives of this?

>>8668514
YOU SHUT YOUR FILTHY FUCKING MOUTH.

AND EVERYONE ELSE...

NO ONE IS TOO MENTION ANYTHING. I MEAN IT. ANYTHING. NO DISCUSSING OLD GIRLFRIENDS, OR YOUR FAMILY, OR YOUR HOMETOWN, OR OLD FRIENDS, OR WIVES, OR POTENTIAL RELATIONSHIPS, OR ANYTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN ENEMY MOBILE SUITS. IN FACT...DON'T EVEN TALK ABOUT THAT. NO TALK OF ANYTHING. ANYTHING.

>>8668474
Whatever, you still chose Heat Hawks over it, and I'm curious as to why?

>>8668436
Um, so let me get this straight. Garma is in a Gaw that could very well end up in the path of White Base. Is this giving anyone else an unsettling sense of familiarity?

>>8668436
Will the rest of our team that are stuck on Earth be supporting Garma? Just saying that might be a good idea.
Wonder who should use the Efreet and Goufs though...

Rick Dom elite ace team + Char in his Zaku S vs Gundam team at this stage? Fuck yeah!

>>8668550
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=zeonquest

>>8668553

So we're just going to be that silent, unnamed and uncharacterized unit that appears briefly to get blown up by Amuro without even getting the viewers' sympathy?

>>8668550
suptg archives
search=zeonquest

I really want to play Gihren's Greed now, I demand links to the emulator/game torrent!

>>8668555

Indeed, deploying Rick Doms against the Gundam at this stage could be a laughably easy fight.

I doubt it, mind you, as it would be a little too easy if you just won the fight.

>>8668571
We should be preemptive and scream about adults not understanding youngsters and something about how Amuro wouldn't be killed if he'd stayed away from the battlefield!

Maybe something about peace and love too.

>>8668571
Well...that is what usually happens...

You reach the the space front later than you were supposed to, trouble with the fuel relays added an extra half hour onto your journey time. Also, despite the best of intelligence you've managed to come off just off of the battle.

You exit your HLV in your Rick Dom at 1:00, it takes you a minute but your able to make Laser contact with the Falmel.

"It's good to finally see you, Lt Commander! Char and his team are currently moving to engage the Trojan horse, if you can move up and catch the ship in a Pincer movement, then even that new mobile suit wont be able to survive!"

You scan the area, there is a heavy debris cloud from an earlier battle that is obscuring your line of sight out to about 20km. You can see the heat bloom of the enemy ship, it appears to be supported by a Salamis class cruiser as well. You think you can see the Falmel in the distance.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>8668554
You can't mount a Heat Rod on a Dom. Sam, you need to work on your MS Fu. The Heat Rod is only mounted on the Gouf and Gouf variants. It's an integral weapon. The reason it's so important against the Gundam is it can paralyze it. Watch the Ramba Ral arc of Mobile Suit Gundam to understand what I'm talking about.

>>8668555

>>8668587
http://pcsx2.net/

As for the torrent, search for the games name in japanese. The Wiki got it.

>>8668568
Thank you, I'll catch up with you guys later.

>>8668604

Advance cautiously, use the debris to mask your approach.

>>8668604
Chastise the fuck out of him for being overconfident. Then move into position.

>>8668604
Pincer the Trojan horse. Move through the debris field, get it to hide our approach. Take advantage of our Rick Dom's absolutely RIDICULOUS speed to surge out, and then apply multiple 330mm Rounds to the Trojan Horse. Scattering Beam Gun the bridge prior to 'zooking, hopefully to confuse gunners. Then move past, still at full speed, and engage anything they've tossed at Char from behind. Do so from 3 dimensions, 2 above, 1 below.

Move to flank the Salamis and take that out asap, then move on to the gundam.

It's gonna be one of those "you could have beaten it but you were too late to the party. Also, the Gundam shot Garma in the face n_n"-twists aint it.

>>8668643
Also donate one or two 'zook rounds to the Salamis on our way past, in addition to what I said here.

>>8668642

>>8668604
do as ordered, close on target in pincer movement, try and hide in the heat bloom of their engines if possible, and BLOW THE FUCK OUT OF THOSE BASTARD TRAITOR-SPACENOIDS

>>8668604
Try to use the debris as cover and move in quickly to engage the Cruiser first. Take out its support and the Trojan Horse should be hard pressed.

>>8668642

I agree with this, use speed to hit the Trojan Horse hard. Doesn't matter what the enemy Mobile Suit can do, if it has nothing to return to it'll be stuck without supplies.

>>8668607
You sure? Isn't what the Dom in this pic >>8666992
a Heat Rod? Or is that the Heat Sabre? The only Gundam I've ever watched was 08th MS Team, so my knowledge is lacking. Anyway, he's got his Heat Hawks so I'm sure we'll be fine.

>>8668642
This.

>>8668541
Stupid mouse, go away.

>>8668678

Heat rod= The 'whip' mounted on Goufs.

>>8668678
Yeah, nomenclature confusion. Heat Rod = The Whip-thing Norris uses. Integral to Gouf's arm. Electrifies shit.

Heat Saber = Sword or Rod (I know I know) looking thing used by the Gouf or Dom as a handheld melee weapon.

>>8668690
Oh. Well okay then. Zol's better with thrown weapons anyway.

>>8668678
Heat Rod is a bit of a confusing name. It's the Gouf's tentacle-like whip stored in the left forearm. The Dom's melee weapon is a Heat Sword/Sabre, even if it more closely resembles a rod to begin with.

>Pincer the Trojan horse. Move through the debris field, get it to hide our approach. Take advantage of our Rick Dom's absolutely RIDICULOUS speed to surge out, and then apply multiple 330mm Rounds to the Trojan Horse. Scattering Beam Gun the bridge prior to 'zooking, hopefully to confuse gunners. Then move past, still at full speed, and engage anything they've tossed at Char from behind. Do so from 3 dimensions, 2 above, 1 below.

Okay, will you be targetting the Salamis first like the >>8668643 suggests?

We're the best bet Zeon has.

Between all the crazy shit our team and Char have faced, of all the battles we survived through get here, now is the moment, all the decisions and choices...

We can not fail, we were born for this.

>>8668720
Have the entire team throw some bazooka shells at it as we pass, but most of our efforts should go to the Trojan Horse. We're here to back up Captain Char after all.

>>8668720

Hit them both simultaneously.

See this: >>8668656

>>8668720

No, I'd say we hit the unknown factor first. The Salamis can be easily dealt with, while the Trojan Horse could have some nasty weapons (for all we know).

>>8668730
Sieg Zeon!

Yeah, maximum attack against the Trojan Horse first. Disable/destroy as much guns, engines or bridge as we can in the first pass.
A Salamis is dimes a dozen at this stage.

>>8668760

SIEG! ZEON!!

>>8668720

May as well, it does have some worrisome armaments, and they tend to pop like balloons if looked at funny.

SIEG!

ZEON!

>>8668787
SEIG ZEON!

You know guys, I have a feeling with the way we've been accelerating things, and the fact that we're got two or three newtypes charging at the White Base this early, we're going to end up awakening Amuro and White Base's Newtype Potential earlier then normal. And that means we get to deal with Zeta Level Amuro at A Boa Qu.

>>8668802
the force tells me....not likely....

>>8668802

Either that, or there will be some damn large explosions as we cut through the Trojan Horse like a hot knife through butter.

Also, SIEG!!!! ZEON!!!!!

>>8668802
>SIEG ZEON!

ftfy

SIEG! ZEON! KILL IT!

>>8668720
Also, if we can hit the engines we SHOULD. If we can disable the Trojan Horse so that it needs to ground for repairs, or just straight crashes, that'd be beautiful.

Also, turn off all of our suits limiters.

>>8668739
>>8668745

Okay then, a fly-by attack on the Salamis, at the ranges you'll be engaging it might not be effective, but it should supress them quite well.

>>8668802
>And that means we get to deal with Zeta Level Amuro at A Boa Qu.

Possibly in the Alex as well.

>>8668802
Look, Amuro's Newtype powers aren't as stupidly HAX as that SEED shit. We've got the tactics, the skill and the experience. This is the best time to take him out, before he's gotten a chance to gain the experience of facing Ace after Ace.

Our time is now.

Gentlemen, lets make history.

SIEG ZEON!

inb4 we kill the only other living Zeon besides Char, he finds out, and commences Operation: KILL ZABI'S/AND THAT LISTER GUY

>>8668916

Char, threatening Garma's fabulous hair?!
NOT ON MY WATCH!!

>>8668916
...WE HAVE TO SAVE HER.

>>8668910
Amuro used a magic T to push a giant space rock into orbit around the earth. What did Jesus Yamato ever do?

>>8668894
Let's fucking DO THIS.

If apologised kills two of Nachtmaren every episode from now, he can still finish by fifty...

>>8668960

Didn't you hear, Yamato was perfect, fighting in a perfect mobile suit, fighting evil people who only acted out of their evilness?

Fuuuu, I've missed so much of today's.

But on the plus side, I took a five mile walk this morning.

>>8668985
Enough of this nonsense. We need to focus!

>>8668916
Actually that reminds me. The White Base is full of civvies right now ain't it? If we can damage it's engines and smash the catapult, Bright might just surrender to keep'em safe.

inb4 GARMAQUEST!

OH GOD WAT HAPPEN!?

>>8669003
It would be perfectly within character for Lister to demand their surrender rather than slaughter them....Garma has a good heart and would listen to us too, but Char is the wild card...

>>8669003

You know, I like this idea.

Maybe we can sort of do a 'stand down' sort of thing.

Of course... all of this is Meta knowledge isn't it?

>>8669020
So we should disobey orders, give away our position, and fuck up a perfectly good ambush in order to what? Satisfy some lame emotional urge? When they WON'T surrender?

No.

I refuse.

"Hey Zol, what're you gonna do when this is all over?"

"Sheeeit, I dunno man. I'm thinking about today before tomorrow. What about you?"

"I don't know. I'm thinking of getting some land up North America. Pacific Northwest maybe. Build a nice cabin. Marry a pretty girl. Have some kids. Be a father. You know, the works."

>>8669047
I mean if we disable them.

>>8669053

FFFFFFFF

If you force it, you realize of course its the opposite of what you intend.

>>8669053
SHUT.

THE.

FUCK.

UP.

>>8669057
Oh. Well yeah. Sounds good to me, then.

>>8669069
Then this is how we attain immortality.

Oh god, inb4 MIND RAPE

>>8668877
>Also, turn off all of our suits limiters.

Sure.

The three of you surge ahead at an impressive velocity within 10 minutes you've passed into the Trojan Horses combat zone. Still no sign of Char and his time, were they not expecting you this soon? These are very fast suits...

In any case as you swing around you and Elaine send a shot from your Bazooka's at the now retreating Salamis. You don't bother to see if they hit, you do notice however a Re-Entry capsule from the ship has been launched and is currently leading the Trojan Horse onto it's re-entry.

You swing your Rick Dom's hard about and move in on the Trojan Horse, the Flak guns begin firing. The caliber isn't very high, but enough of them could give you serious problems.

You send a 330 at it's engine block from underneath. It hit's the superstructure, which sends fragments of armour plating everywhere but doesn't harm the engines. Two other seperate explosions blossom on the right cargo bay and the left wing. The wing bends but doesn't shear, and although the crater is pretty big and wide, the left cargo bay doesn't appear to have been breached.

This is one tough carrier.

Still so sign of Char Aznable.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>8664204
>New Ranks!

>Zolomon Ringo is now a: Lieutenant Junior Grade
>Jolyne Brande is now a: Corporal
>Hovis Goddard is now a: Corporal
>Elaine "Ruubens" Arronax is now a: Private 1st Class
>Calvin Hobart is now a: Private 1st Class

Hey apologised, remember when your machine crashed and you lost track of everybody's ranks? After our unit was assigned to Garma the first time everybody was promoted. That meant that Jolyne, Elaine and Hovis were all promoted a rank up then to Private 1st Class. (Or did Hovis start at that rank?)
Either way the 3 of them should be Corporals by now.

As for Zolomon, as he has proven that he's not really command material I would reccomend that he not be promoted much higher. As we discovered before if David were to killed or incapacitated that would leave Zol in command of the unit. (not good)

>>8669163
Focus all of our fire on a single engine.

>>8669163
Rupture that cargo bay and continue beating on the engines if we can. Send a rocket at the bridge if we can discern where it is.

>>8669163

Motherfucker.

He's letting us get killed against it, so a) White Base is softened up for him and b) Garma has less competent friends.

>>8669163

Keep firing, try and hit the sections we have already weakened. Also, keep watch for the enemy MS, and watch the gravity.

>>8669163
Part of me says, shoot, try and keep it from hitting atmosphere

The other part says:

STAB IT TO DEATH

I'm torn...

>>8669163
What's the Minofski density? Can we get a message back to the Falmel asking Char's whereabouts? Other than that, swing around and try to line up a shot right at its engines.

>>8669163

>Re-Entry capsule from the ship has been launched and is currently leading the Trojan Horse onto it's re-entry.


Question?

DO WE WANNA KNOW WHAT THAT IS?!?!

>>8669163
Swing around. Have somebody offhand a 90mm MG into the Salamis Reentry Capsule. Beam Spray Gun the Bridge. Come around for another pass, switching over-under, 2 Low, 1 High. Focus on Engines and Launch Bays. Use our 330mm 'zooks. And the MOMENT a bay door opens, I want someone in front of it, pumping rockets down the open hatch.

Destroy the Re-Entry capsule and focus our fire on the engines, if they try to launch any mobile suits destroy the catapults before they are able to launch.

Change of plans. If the damn thing's starting re-entry already, do not follow it. Just pelt it with rockets from a safe distance. We do not want any of our people burning up in the atmosphere.

>>8669231

This! we don't have to cripple it, just do enough damage that it parts will burn up!

>>8669254

If my (meta) memory serves, it is the captain of the Salamis guiding the White Base down, as her crew isn't very experienced.

>>8669231
>>8669224

you order the rest of your team to keep firing and you all swing around for another pass, the Flak is really ferocious around that ship, your Rick Dom is already sporting several bullet holes and dents.

As you move in for another pass you notice the ship launch an enemy Mobile Suit.

YOUR ORDERS?

TRY AND CONTACT CHAR, THAT LITTLE SHIT IS PROPBABLY TROLLING US TO DEATH, LITERALLY.

>>8669297
GUNDAM RISING!

>>8669297

Mission priorities.

Stop that mobile suit.

Maybe we can open a channel to the Feddy Ship, requesting they stand down.

We WILL abide by the Antartic Treaty in regards to prisoners.

try to distract the mobile suit while Zoloman and Eaine destroy the engines, if we're out matched then I say we withdraw.

>>8669297
Calm and professional, we're pros, but even Char had trouble. He's had time to read his manuals now too...
Use our speed to it's full potential. He got flustered by watching a gouf in sand, a dom in space will blow his mind.

>>8669297
Ignore it for now. Take out the engines.

>>8669297
Have our teammates send some rockets at those flak emplacements. If we can take them out we should have a "safe" area to engage that suit. We should head for the emerging mobile suit at full speed.

Engage it yourself, beamspray and use superior speed to keep it off-balance and busy while the rest of the team punch a real fucking hole in one of the engines/wings.

Gotta limit its mobility once it hits groundside so our forces can swarm it with overwhelming power.

>>8669297

Leave Elaine to harass the Trojan Horse, have us and Zol move in on the MS. Try to have Elaine keep the Trojan Horse between her and the MS. We know it's supposed to be massively powerful from Garma's briefing so be careful, abuse the scattering beam gun as much as possible and throw as much firepower as we can at it. ALSO, stay really, really mobile, try to move around it in three dimentions, we are Spacenoids after all.

Okay... This is a vitally important question, which may determine whether our team lives or dies here.

...

Did we have time to get a Nachtmaren paint scheme on these Rick Doms?

>>8669297
Well, if this is the Federation's new prototype, let's try and push it into the atmosphere. There's no way it could survive reentry, and we take out one of their new prototype MS.

>>8669297
COME WHITE DEVIL! COME AND MEET THE KNIGHT OF SKULLS! COME AND MEET Y-

*Ahem* Sorry. In any case, focus on the White Base, but keep an eye out for the Gundam. Remember it's armed with a Beam Rifle that'll cut through our armor like a knife through butter.

>>8669338
>>8669341
>>8669354

So, you take on the Gundam, whilst the other two take on the Trojan Horse?

>So maybe a Gyan?

The Gyan shield would be fab, the rest of the machine not so much.

Can we also possibly link up with the other dudes who're hunting White Base? It would be pretty swell to have both Ramba Ral and Char around when we're going up against the Gundam Team. Two Landbattleships and a bunch of aces together with our reconnaisance and arty assets are gonna work better than what was used in canon. I mean, we actually have the firepower to bind the guntank and the guncanon, unlike either of these two.

>>8669378
This is really important - that kid should know us. Fear us. We are the angels of their destruction.

>>8669378

They're your old Dom's retooled into Rick-Doms, so they've already got it.

>>8669390
On the other hand, lets take Zoloman for backup. He helped us out with the Bandit before. Let Elaine work on the ship.

>>8669380
Your kidding right?

>>8669390

No, that would end badly. Us and Zol, for safety. This thing is supposed to be much stronger than the Gundam we already fought, and we had trouble with THAT without going one on one!

>>8669396
He stared down the Red Comet and won not a week ago, the Skull Knight might not bother him so much...

We should also go full newtype like super saiyan on it.

>>8669384

We tell Elaine we believe in her. We (Lister and Zol) fire some parting shots at the Trojan Horse's Flak canons, and we engage the Feddy MS.

>>8669390

Yeah. Keep him occupied while Zol and Elane kill it.

Fight low-risktaking. Make good use of our speed and don't get hit. The aim is to keep him busy while the rest of the squad takes out White Base. If we see an opening, sure, take it, but don't push our luck against a goddamn Gundam.

>>8669297
Leave Elaine to engage the Trojan Horse. Have her target Flak Nests, Beam cannons, and Engines. But IF SHE CAN, I want her to put a 330mm down the hatch of the MS Catapult. It should still be open.

Zolomon and David engage the Feddie MS. David goes high, surging down with Rick Dom Speed, firing his 330mm. Zol comes in equally fast from below just after we attack and to the left, leading with his 'zook, then immediately closing into close combat, performing a flurry of attacks, then falling back while David covers him.

>>8669390
No, ignore it for now. Our primary objective is to take down the Trojan Horse. If it starts getting in our way then we can fight back, but we should concentrate on destroying the engines and forcing it to freefall through the atmosphere.

>>8669422
yes i think he's joking. but atleast it's not metagaming

>>8669433

Yes, but this is no Zaku, boy, no Zaku!!

Seriously though, the pilot most likely hasn't seen other Zeon MS beyond the Zaku, so we have a psychological edge at this point.

>>8669390
See:

>>8669446

concentrate on the carrier, without support, the gundam will fail. the machine may be awesome, but the pilot is still a man, afterall

>>8669446

I support shooting a rocket down the catapault. That'd fuck up their insides.

Also cannons and stuff. And have her always moving! Never give a stable target. If they're using targeting computers, if she keeps moving... even if it's only going backwards, it'll be constantly calculating and never giving data.

Unless Apologised strips Amuro of his plotanium armor, we're not gonna get rid of him now, so keep it frosty and cause as much damage as we can without getting killed.

>>8669602
Plotanium is the hardest of the metals.

>>8669582
Implied, but correct nevertheless.

>>8669558
That 'man' is Amuro motherfucking Ray. If this were a month from now we'd all be space debris already. It's worthwhile to engage him now, when he's still green. A person earlier stated this, and was meta-ing, and he's right. But Feddie MS deserve a plurality of our attention, especially when they are as High-Performance as Char has reported.

>>8669617
So what if we smashed Amuro into a wall made of plotanium.

>>8669617
True. The one thing capable of breaching it is Narravitium.

>>8669602
That depends. This is an alternate universe, theoretically anything goes.

>>8669629
i very well aware of who he is, im not metagaming though. for all we know, hes a regular Feddie MS pilot

>>8669691
My apologies. I mistook you for one of the uninformed.

>>8669648

Theoretically, yes.

On the other hand, apologised has not been letting us stomp all over canon with our oversized Player Character boots.

We're fighting a technically superior MS piloted by a very fast learner. Let's focus on not dying here, aye?

>No, that would end badly. Us and Zol, for safety. This thing is supposed to be much stronger than the Gundam we already fought, and we had trouble with THAT without going one on one!

Okay so you two are going to concentrate on the enemy Mobile Suit whilst Elain attacks the Trojan Horse.

The two of you move in to engage the enemy. It sends out a Hyper Bazooka shot your way and you barely dodge it. The engineers weren't kidding when they said the handling of this thing wasn't great.

You return fire and although your shot is accurate, it defends with it's heavy shield. The shield abosrbs the blast, though it's clearly looking a little worse for wear and the pilot then dodges Zolomon's bazooka shot, he then fires at Zolomon. Solomon's Rick Dom spins to avoid, but the blast catches him in the leg. He spirals away, trailing smoke from his leg.

"Don't worry boss! It's only light damage! I just have to tone down the other leg thrusters to compensate! Keep concentrating on him!"

You make another high speed pass on the enemy mobile suit, the final shot in your Bazooka takes out his shield, and he does no damage to you with his return.

You finally see that Char Aznable has launched, but also...

Shit. A squadron of enemy Saberfish have entered the combat zone from somewhere and are engaging Char's team and Elaine.

YOUR BAZOOKA IS OUT OF AMMO

YOUR ORDERS?

>>8669696
not a problem, bro

>>8669707
>ZOL OR ELAINE

FUCK FUCK FUCK

IT'S MASS EFFECT

FUUUUUUCK

>>8669707
Char's team should be OK with Elaine. We should continue to work on the Gundam.

IN BEFORE Elaine looses a limb.

>>8669707
Elaine's got Char and his team backing her up, and Saberfish are nothing new to anybody here. Stick with Zol and keep putting the pressure on Amuro.

>>8669707

Well, this is going to shit fast.

Keep us and Zol on the Gundam. Dodge around and see about getting this bazooka reloaded.

Hopefully Char is smart enough to take out the Saberfish first. We can probably hold the Gundam off until he's done with that.

>>8669730

Not exactly. Not just yet. Tell Elaine to group up with Char.

Strength in numbers.

Guys, should we *NOT FUCKIGN MISSION KILL THE WHITE BASE*?

We win if we survive here and stop the White Base from moving. Let's not fucking wrestle with Plotarmorium.

It's just a squad of Saberfishes vs Char + team + Elaine.

No, we got to keep the Gundam busy so Zolomon can compensate. Draw our heat sword, beamscatter blind the Gundam and try to chop of its sword arm (guessing he'll react quickly and draw his melee weapon -> Get Blinded > Chop Chop).

Open a channel to the mobile suit.

Tell him if he surrenders, neither he nor anyone on the ship will be harmed.

>>8669775

Ignoring a Gundam when it's in the combat zone is generally fairly fucking spectacularly fatal.

We are the diversion. Amuro fights us. Char and Elaine kill White Base.

>>8669808

Not ignoring it, but not making it the main target of our attack either.

He's a noob so having him concentrat on both saving his ass and defending the ship might be a grand idea.
It at least'll spread their shooting evenly over us all.

Close to auto-saging yet? Thread moves at the speed of lightning.

Red Lightning.

>>8669707
Reload our 'zook. (If we don't have reloads, take out our 90mm and Heat Saber) Start moving around the Gundam in lateral circles. Harass it. Any time it attempts to close on one of us or the White Base, cut it off, and have one of our men come up from behind. If it moves at us SCATTERING BEAM GUN ITS FUCKING CAMERAS. Then apply 'zook or Heat Saber. Keep the ball in his court, and counter attack with our superior speed.

>>8669707
Keep attacking the enemy MS. Char's team can handle the enemy fighters. Pulling back to help Elaine now would leave us open to attack from the enemy MS. We'll just have to trust in Elaine and Char.

>>8669846
>trust
>Char

Oh god we're fucked.

>>8669792
>>8669758

Okay, so, try to reload the Bazooka, or go in for close combat?

>>8669795
This is actually quite a good idea.

>>8669846
THINK REAL HARD:

Elaine, I trust you.

>>8669872

Apologised...

Try this...

>>8669795

>>8669872
Close combat seems to be the way to go. Lets focus our Newtype powers and rock his world. Have Zol close by with his close range weapons of choice.

>>8669893

Second.

But reload the zook while we're doing it.

We need to patch into Char's teams comms so we can communicate better.

>>8669872

See:

>>8669843

While going into melee range of a beamsaber wielding fuck like Amuro might seem like a bad idea, reloading our Zook while we have no backup is just asking for us to get shanked. At least the other way around we'll have our saber out too (can it block a beam saber?).

We communicate, and we can do magnificent things

>>8669872
see
>>8669843

>>8669893
Yes. Psychological warfare FTW.

>>8669893

You can either attack, or try to get him to surrender, doing both is counter productive.

Also the Minovsky particle count is pretty high in this area, you'd need to be quite close to get the message though.

>>8669919

Zol can pick up a little slack while we're reloading. And if we're attempting to get the dude on comms, then we can both stand down a little.

>>8669865
Well we're not a Zabi so it's not he'll be trying to fuck us over.

>>8669950
If we have to get close then its definitely a bad idea. We just blew up his goddamn home colony, more or less. He's not a huge fan of Zeon at the moment.

>>8669950

No attack. Get him on comms.

Reload our bazooka while we're doing it though, just in case he decides he wants us to do this the easy way.

Roll for NEWTYPE EMPATHY and CHARISMA.

Hillarious alternative universe with Garma, Lister and Amuro vs Gihrens Zeon vs Chars Zeon ahoy.

>>8669985
Also we're META-ING like FUCK even considering this. For all we know this is a goddamned hardened Feddie Pilot right here. He could be Revil him-fucking-self.

=_=

>>8669987
What if the reverse happens, and he Newtype Empathy us, and we join White Base?

>>8670030
Gay adventures with Shota Amuro?

I...dont know if want

>>8670030

Zeon is fucked.

>>8670066
Garma will die and we will never get the secret to how he does his hair!

We attack, we patch in on the comms with Chars group.

>the secret to how he does his hair!

Worth fighting for...worth dying for!

>>8670072

Yeah. I think that probably provides enough MANLY HOT BLOODED RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION for us to avoid getting Newtype Empathy'd.

Will there be love on the battlefield between monoeye and gendum, or BITTER FIGHTING to the DEATH?!

Excitement, killing me...

>>8669987
MY GOD...IT'S....IT'S BUEATIFUL

>>8669985

You move close to try and get the pilot to surrender. Hopefully he doesn't notice the enemy planes coming to his ships aid.
This will have to be quick, time's running out.

As you move in close, he hurls the bazooka (presumably empty) at you. You push it away and he sprays your suit with head vulcans. Your armour holds but protests at the beating. You've already taken some hits from the Trojan Horse.
Since it's now or never you try to signal him.

"Enemy Mobile suit! Stand down and Surrender and you will not be harmed!"

The Mobile Suit does nothing for a second and then raises it's arm outwards.

"Lt.Cmmdr Lister! Look out!" Comes Chars call over the Laser Comm network.

The outstreched arm catches a spiked ball on chain, identical to the one you fought against in Jaburo.

Well, it looks like there's your answer.

It swings the ball outwards and you use your thrusters to dodge backwards, the ball mounted verniers flare however and the spiked ball darts at crushing speed towards you. In the end you have to try and block with with your empty Bazooka. The weapon crumples with the blow, but at least you don't take any damage.

The weapon retracts back into the enemy Mobile Suits hand.

"Lt. Commander we've got a problem here, these Saber fish are backed up by a Federation Capital Ship Squadron! They're moving to try and cut us off from the Trojan Horse! Please advise!" Come's Elaines call over the Laser Comm.

YOUR ORDERS?

>Also we're META-ING like FUCK even considering this.

Says one who went all 'bit it's Amurooooo'...

Anyway. I say attack. It's what we would do with any Federation pilot. Trashtalking is reserved for the Bandit.

*Static*

--at's a damn nice suit you got there and you're not half bad of a pilot. I'm not sure who the hell you think I am, so I'll just tell you. My name is David, I'm a soldier of Zeon. I'm fighting for the life of my friends, everyone I care about, and myself. You're probably doing the same.

Please don't hurt my friends...Please don't make me hurt anyone else to protect them...but if you make me, I swear you'll pay for everyone you hurt. The strong must protect the weak, that is why we fight! I will not let you threaten them!

...No one else needs to die here.

This war has cost us all, I'm giving you a chance to end it here. Stand down and I give you my word, whatever it's worth, that I'll give all of you every mercy I can.

You can save us all, let me help you.

>>8670141


... they dont have MS scale beam weaponry yet.

:3

We should do as much damage as possible to the White Base and the Gundam before we get swarmed, I think we just don't enough firepower to finish these guys off.

>>8670141
Fuck, fuck and double fuck. Everyone except us and Zol concentrate on the Trojan Horse. Try to keep at between them and the enemy Capitol ships. Where is Zol, I thought he said he'd be fine and would just have to decelerate? Shouldn't he be able to help us? Anyway, have Char's team and Elaine keep pouring fire onto the Trojan Horse.

Wait what. The Feddie capital fleet is coming out to party with us?

Where's our fleet?

...Zeon intelligence ops ffFFFffFFFFFFFF

>>8670193

Yes they do. Otherwise Gene and Slender would still be alive.

>>8670165

<_<

>>8670148
I said that to someone I thought didn't know who Amuro was, and plainly stated I was Meta-ing in the post, then gave reasons for why it works outside of meta. There is no reason to ask for Surrender in game.

>>8670141
Harass it with lightning passes with 90mm MG and Heat Saber combo. Draw its attention. Have Zol come up from underneath and Scattering Beam Gun its Cameras. Apply Heat Saber.

Ask Elaine for range of the Cap Ship squadron. If we have time, continue attacking the Trojan Horse. Damage its Engines and Launch Capabilities if at all possible. Also a Bazooka Round into the Bridge would be nice as well. If we don't have time have them fall back while attacking the Trojan Horse, then have them join the engagement against the Gundam. Overwhelm it quickly, do as much damage as possible, then fall back to the Falmel.

>>8670206

Well... at least in Beam Saber form... <_<

>>8670141

A'right motherfucker. Now it's *on*.

90 mil and Heat, uh, what's the Rick Dom come with? Heat Sabre?

He's arrogant. That's good. It means he still thinks he can win this.

Have Elaine focus on doing as much damage to White Base as she can manage before they need to withdraw. Have her stick with Char.

>>8670165
well written peice, mate. but not really lister's thing. afterall, we're the fucking Skull Knight. Slayer or dragons, destroyers of empires, we are Nightmares given corpereal form.

>>8670235
>here

Meant to add after the arrogant thing. It also means he's more focused on us than what's going on with White Base. That is *very* good. Elaine and Char might be able to cripple it before he manages to get away from us and Zol.

>>8670256
Funny, I can totally hear it in his mangled spacenoid/english accent...

Vile and ingrate! too late thou shalt repent
The base Injustice thou hast done my Love:
Yes, thou shalt know, spite of thy past Distress,
And all those Ills which thou so long hast mourn'd;
Heav'n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn'd,
Nor Hell a Fury, like a Lister scorn'd.

>>8670197

The Trojan Horse is now beginning to enter re-entry positions. The enemy ships consist of one Magellan class Battleship and a pair of Salamis class Cruisers. The targeting computer recognises their signatures as the Battleship Holmes and the Cruisers Schulhof and Botany. Theirs a notation stating that the Black Tri-Stars encountered them two days ago, but weren't able to finish them off. They must have been recently repaired in Luna 2.

You find Zolomon some distance away, the Gundam appears to think that you are disarmed and it's now moving back to the Trojan Horse as you likewise disengage.

"You all right?" You ask him.

"Yeah no worries." He replies.

"We've got to take out thos enemy ships before they can split our forces off from the target. I've lost my Bazooka, so I'll have to conduct fire support with my 90mm. You'll have to do most of the heavy lifting."

"Roger!"

The two of you thrust forwards towards the enemy squadron...

>>8670322
now that, i can imagine him saying. completley out of the blue, shakespearian style

>>8670347

Those ships look like they belong on the water!

>>8670347
I think the Consensus was to keep the Gundam Engaged, Apologised, but by the by, lets eat some Feds.

Make use of our Rick Dom's ridiculous speed to make fast lateral and Vertical passes on the enemy Battleships. Have Zol focus on their Engines with his 'zook. David draws fire and strafes turrets with his 90mm. If he can get close, put a Heat Saber through a bridge or a magazine. Focus on the Magellan unless we're subject to overlapping flak, in which case, pick off the Salamis first.

If the Gundam is heading back to the fucking ship, then shoot it in the fucking back.

>>8670347
>Gundam
>Thinks we're disarmed

>>8670347

Well, this is Char's Operation, right?

We're supporting him.

Tell him the new Feddy MS is moving back towards the Trojan Horse.

Then we ask for orders.

Remember we're supporting him... <_<

This strikes me as a silly turn...Cutting our suits off from White Base? THE RED COMET CAN JUST GO THROUGH THEM.

We need the gundam dead.

>>8670417
Actually fucking this. If we can get a shot on it, do it. If we pull it into reengaging, groovy, if not, see:

>>8670404

>>8670404
im voting this, if we can get close enough, use the heatSword as a fuckinn can opener, and blow those fuckin feddie scum into the abyss! this is OUR backyard. let's bury them here!

>>8670454

Second.

He turned his back on us. That is some stupid shit right there.

>>8670347

As you dash in close, the enemy ships begin firing off their beam cannons at you, but luckily your great speed and oblique arching approach make you next to impossible to target. The federation has simply never encountered an enemy mobile suit this fast before.

First up, the Battleship, you get it's attention with your 90mm. The gun doesn't do much, but flak turrets and beam guns swivel towards you as you strafe the ship, giving time for Zolomon to fire a round into it's underside, make a high angle turn, send a round into the general area occupied by the bridge before one last shot into the engine. Secondary explosions begin to wrack the ship, it's firing becomes sporadic and even less coordinated.

With your trails looping across each others path in a wildly erratic approach, the first enemy Salamis struggles to bracket you without hitting his companion. Zolomon fires his first shot at the bridge, but the hit is wild and takes out the rear Beam turret.
He darts to the left, draws his Heat saber and scores a deep renting groove from stern to fore with it.
Sparks fly from the white hot line, and you both barely make it out of the blast from it exploding.
That leaves just one.

>>8670454
This.

>The Trojan Horse is now beginning to enter re-entry positions.

And that's why it should have stayed our priority target. ;_;

Take out the Holmes first.

>>8670502
Take it out and burn back to the Trojan Horse. Maybe we can get a hit on it before it gets to far into the atmosphere.

>>8670502
We wanted to shoot at the Gundam.

>>8670502
Please don't ignore us, we've come so far...

>>8670502
Apologiseeeed! D: I know you must be tired, but you keep missing consensus'!

Well, unless you all of a sudden swap your reaction to what we wanted, tear the Salamis UP. Strafing with 90mm and Heat Sabers. If we have time disengage limiters and rush the Trojan Horse.

>>8670499

No, he kept his eye on you the whole time until he was fairly certain you were out of range. He's cocky, not retarded.

>>8670502

You move in towards the enemy, Zolomon is reloading so you cover for him by firing your 90mm out at long range. From this distance the bullets will do little but get their attention, but that's all you want.

Zolomon's first shot is again aimed at the bridge, this time he manages to score a hit, the entire bridge section explodes impressively and trailing smoke and flames the enemy fire becomes a lot more sporadic and the ship begins to list to the side.

You pull out your own Heat Saber and neatly slice in lighting quick flyby s line between the engine and the rest of the ship. A second passes and the entire engine block explodes. The rest of the ship remains intact but the Beam turrets cease firing, although some flak is still firing so you opt to vacate the area.

ENEMY SHIP KILLS CONFIRMED!

YOUR ORDERS?

>>8670606
WE WANTED TO FOCUS ON THE GUNDAM

>>8670606
Very well then!

Disengage Limiters. Rush the White Base. If we can get some shots off on it, do so.

>>8670582
At this point the Gundam is inside the Trojan Horse... This does not brood well for Garma down on Earth. We will survive reentry in our MS to save him if necessary.

>>8670544

Sorry, I wasn't trying to railroad you, I honestly thought I saw people ask to take out the enemy ships and went with it.

I might have misread something, or started typing before the rest of you posted. It's my fault for not refreshing the page before pressing submit.

Sorry.

>>8670606

What are Char and Elaine up to?

Still possible to put a last few shells into White Base before we hit the point where we have to pull up or burn up?
