>"Commander, whilst our forces do their best to thin out the enemy air forces, I want you to head out into the docks, reconnecting any isolated friendly units with the communications network, then tell them to booby trap any and all ammo and parts depots they can find. Look towards the heavy flak points in the Harbours, I situated Gigan teams around these vital points, as well as giving them Zaku Tank Engineering squads, those engineers will be able to rig these booby traps up for you. Try to keep them alive. Loading up the HLV's will take time, at least an hour to do, this should be enough time for you to get into contact with the largest friendly units."

>"How will you be getting out of the city sir?" you ask.

>"South, on the train network we set up earlier in the year if possible, we also have several Gaws and other transports we can call upon as well. Well Commander, we have work to do. Let's get to it."

You have your orders.

ANY QUESTIONS?

Nope. Let's do our job. Tell Garma to fuck shit up and wish him luck.

>>13518598
Nope, seems pritty straightforward.

Let's roll out!

Try getting in contact with the rest of our team and inform them of the situation.

Obviously give the details of sabotaging installations to the dudes guarding this big ass depot.

>>13518598
See if we can't get some trucks or extra trailers for the Zaku tanks while we're at it. The more stuff we can load up onto the HLV's, the OH, or onto Garma's train, the better our logistical picture will be.

Other than that, let's get sappin'!

>>13518587

>>13518614

Okay, you are currently situated at a ressuply depot, which is defended by 4 Gigans, and has a Zaku Tank for ressupplying friendly MS and other engineering work.
The enemy fighters overhead are somewhat thinned for now, and after you tossed a grenade at those tanks you don't see any further enemies nearby.

However the terrain is dense with cranes, drydocks and warehouses, several plumes of smoke and explosions speak of battles in the distance.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>13518674
Relay the orders to the team at this depot then quickly scout around for any Feddies that might interrupt them. After that move out to the next site.

Any idea if the Mashiba team is heading into space or staying groundside?

>>13518674
Alright, let's load up on as much stuff as we can at this depot, load up the Gigans and the Zaku Tank, then have them go to the spacedock while we go to the docks and try to find other Zeon forces.

>>13518719
>Any idea if the Mashiba team is heading into space or staying groundside?

You haven't been told, you could ask Anita your operator to see if she knows.

You relay Garma's orders to the ressuply depot, they beginning prepping the warehouse with booby traps, and start charting out the easiest way back out of the docks. For them it isn't to bad, they aren't that far out.

"Sir, do you want any of these munitions before we rig up the traps? We'll be taking as much as we can, but we wont be able to transport all of it, so take what you like!"

DO YOU WANT ANY AMMO, GRENADES ETC FROM THE DEPOT?

Also, do you plan to scout out the area as a team, or split up into groups?

>>13518792
Top off everyone's ammo, and load up on grenades. We can be pretty liberal with both of those when we attack any Feddies.

Also yes, call up Anita to see if the Mashiba Team will be coming with us; then we'll know to coordinate and get them to the OH.

>>13518792
We can attach a couple of grenades to the back of our shield cant we? Think I saw pictures of GM's storing ammo and beamsabers like that before.

If the roads are wide enough we should stick together and just move really quickly. Bernie watching left Elaine watching the right and David concentrating ahead.

>>13518808

Grenades available are Crackers, Stickbombs, Panzerfausts, some flash and smoke grenades, and a couple of Chain Mines, any preference?

You ask Anita if she knows the status of the Mashiba team.
"According to the base tactical records, the Mashiba Team were on seek and destroy mission in the underground docks when the lasercomm network collapsed, we've had no word from them since, they're one of the units which were still cut off from."

YOUR ORDERS?

Are there any large things near us? Large water towers or whatnot? Bridges. Take some explosives and booby trap them as we go along.

>>13518920
David loads up on Crackers and Stickbombs.
Elaine goes for the panzerfausts.
Bernie gets the chainmines.
Everyone gets a couple flash and smoke grenades.

Once we're loaded up, let's check out the underground dock. We should try to re-establish contact with the Mashiba Team, and any other holdouts down there.
The OH, Zol, and Jolyne can try to make contact with any teams still aboveground.

>>13518920
We should probably be able to attach panzerfausts to the underside of our shield. Maybe afterwards, we can hit up Ookawara to see if he can jury-rig a firing mechanism down there so we can launch them, Geara Doga-style. Anyway, make sure to take some flash and smoke rounds for ourselves, panzer and sturm for everyone else, and at least one chain mine for Bernie. He works wonders with those things.

And yes, we probably ought to split up and prioritize finding the missing MS teams. Someone ought to go off after Mashiba, though that EXAM Gyan of Cima's should be able to hold off most anything the Feds have.

>>13518924

You really think it's a good idea to booby trap things which your own troops might have to use to retreat back?

>>13518940

>The OH, Zol, and Jolyne can try to make contact with any teams still aboveground.

Keep in mind that those two are currently busy trying to deal with the enemy air cover. Perhaps Calvin could do that?

>>13518942
Okay, so ultimately who do you want to send into the underground docks to try and find the Mashiba Team? Do you all want to go, or do you want to split your team?

>>13519019
>Keep in mind that those two are currently busy trying to deal with the enemy air cover. Perhaps Calvin could do that?
Yeah, have Calvin do that instead.
I kind of expected Zolomon to have already turned the invading Feddie forces into scrap metal by now.

I'm for splitting up the team: Bernie goes to the docks to help out Zol and Jolyne, while David and Elaine go to the underground docks to find the Mashiba Team and any other holdouts.

>>13519019
Yeah sure send calvin looking for them.

>>13519063
>I kind of expected Zolomon to have already turned the invading Feddie forces into scrap metal by now.

Well, there ARE a lot of them. Plus he did have to find a Dodai to ride first.

>I'm for splitting up the team: Bernie goes to the docks to help out Zol and Jolyne, while David and Elaine go to the underground docks to find the Mashiba Team and any other holdouts.

Bernie doesn't have a Dodai since he's with you, he'd essentially be operating solo. But since you'll have Calvin on the same mission, would it be best to link the two up and search for pockets of friendlies still out of loop together?

So you and Elaine go looking for the Mashiba team in the Underground docks.

Sound okay?

Also, I'm off for my dinner. BRB.

>>13519153
Bernie and Calvin search for survivors and pockets of Zeon forces, to have them rig booby-traps and retreat back to the spacedock or the train, depending if they're space capable or they can help Garma make a name for himself.

Zol and Jol continue tearing shit up.

David and Elaine go and look for Mashiba Team and anyone else in the underground docks.

>>13519063
> Bernie goes to the docks to help out Zol and Jolyne
They arent anywhere near the docks. David is there with Bernie and Elaine.

Alright, are we still going with the plan of using AB-chaff and explosives laden HLV's on a ballistic course to cover our charge into the rear of the Federation Odessa Space Fleet?
And this time ignore the battleship with the Midnight Pixies?

Or wait, since Revil did that last time, could he actually be on the obvious flagship this time?

Send Bernie and Calvin out to link up with scattered and/or isolated groups and help them fall back in good order. ZolJol's Bizarre MS Circus should continue reducing the Feddies to debris. David and Elaine go look for the Mashiba Team.

>>13519638

Possibly, though I wouldn't count on it.

>>13519638
It seems like a good enough plan to go with.

Is there any way to combine that with the high speed ship attack?
Having the ships come in faster than normal when they arrive with the recon out in front to relay targeting data. That way our guys have just as much time to target and fire as normal while making it harder for the Feds to lock as quickly.

>ZoJo's Bizarre MS Circus

...where's a drawfag when you need him?

Okay, so, you give out your orders out to the team, Bernie will escort the engineering team and the Gigans back towards the main base, where he will rendezvous with Calvin and begin sweeping the docks up top for friendlies and tell them to make their escape now.

You and Elaine meanwhile will be searching the Underground Docks for the Mashiba Team.

If you recall correctly, the hidden entrance for the underground complex was to the north of you. Hidden gun emplacements in the are should have kept it from being taken by the enemy but you never know.

As you make your way into a crossroads of three large hangars, almost immiediately you come under fire at close range by enemy tanks from the west.
You take cover behind the empty warehouse walls you had just emerged from, you think you saw one of the tanks trying go around and flank you from the north as well. You toss a grenade in the tanks direction and dash across in the confusion, with Elaine behind you, sending a couple of shots in the direction of the enemy as she goes.

You don't see the tank that was trying to flank you. You carefully continue on your way. You suspect that the enemy flankers are shadowing you, but are unwilling to attack at this time. Turning back to deal with it would waste valuable time, but letting him sit there and wait could be dangerous if you bogged down with more enemies...

YOUR ORDERS?

>>13519868
Split up and attack the tanks in a pincer attack with Elaine. If we have to run out of the docks in a hurry, I don't want this guy waiting for us.

>>13519868
Well it we're willing to momentarily make ourselves a target for nearby aircraft we could try a jump that'll put us up high enough to see where they are. (Those new thrusters should make it pritty easy) We keep our shield up to deflect any fire if they manage to target us and spray them with the MG. Elaine covers us against any aircraft trying to shoot us in the back. Land as quick as possible and then get moving again, sticking to the ground from then on.

>>13519868
>empty warehouses
Kool-Aid Man?

>>13519919

Not willing to put off for tommorow what you can do today you tell Elain to loop around and catch your tail from behind.
You continue to push forward, acting as bait.

A few minutes later, as expected, the Tanks get wind of this and attempt to rush you in order to escape Elaine.
As the shots from their dual 150mm cannons whizz past you you leap into the cover of an empty drydock in an acrobatic somersault, send a burst of beam shots from your Carbine behind you in their direction. One shot lands cleanly and the lead tank explodes, obscuring the other other two enemies, and how your own shooting fared.
You land in the drydock safely. The bottom is slowly beginning to fill with water, although to be honest you think this might be damage from much earlier in the year.
You stick your head out to take a look, and see that Elaine has caught up with you, and the two remaining tanks have surrendered. Their crews are already bailing out as you look.

"Good job, take out those two tanks and let the crew be picked up by their own side later on, for now we've got to keep moving."

"Roger."

With that over with you continue on your way. It's not made easier by the fact that it appears that someone has opened the water-locks and flooded large parts of dock facility in order to hinder the Federation movement, the water only slows your Mobile Suits down a little though, and aside from a couple of roving helicopters which you take down easily you make it to the Underground Entrance unharmed.

The underground dock entrance was originally disguised into the rockface, this entrance however was discovered by Midnight Fenrir at the start of the ground war, and from this they were able to directly assault the submarine pens and secret marine dock facilities underneath California.

As you open to gates you activate the heavy cargo lift that leads downwards. Luckily, the power hasn't been cut yet, you'd have had to be creative in getting the lift out of the way if it had.

You reach the bottom. You can hear the echoes of combat from all directions. In general, from where you are, the facility branches out into two forks, one section leads to the power reactor facilities, losing that would put you at a severe disadvantage, and the other leads to the submersible docks and the sea entrance.
This way is probably the most likely way to find your lost comrades.
The lighting is dim, making it easy for a mobile suit to hide behind fuel tankers and buildings, you'd best be on your guard...

YOUR ORDERS?

We've got sensors. We've got to be able to hear where the sound of fighting is coming from.

>>13520454
This. Use sonar, the rock down here should be hard enough to transmit sound rather well.

>>13520355
I think we should go to the sub pens first. The faster we link up with the others, the better our chances of securing the reactor.

>>13520454
>>13520510

the Sonar systems within your suit work somewhat, you should be able to avoid any ambushes this way, but unfortunately, the walls of this facility have been specially designed to hamper the Sonar, making it difficult to get an overview of the whole facility.
It's probably something that the Federation had made when ground sonar technology was invented.
Given that this is the first time seeing it, perhaps this facility was a testbed for the new technology?

>>13520518
Sub pens first then?

>>13520617
Guy who voted for sub pens here; might as well give the other two a few minutes to chime in, since their plan didn't pan out.

>>13520617
Yeah sorry, Sub pens first.

I think I've managed to figure out how big the Musai final production type is compared to the Late production type. I'm going to be using this as the basis for a post war redesign.

>>13520702
Looks about right. They're more wider then longer.

Sad how it got superseded by the final production/Siegfried type, and then the Musai Kai. This really was the best Musai design.

>>13520748
I'm talking about basing something off the Final since it would cost less to make. There also arent any official stats on it so I had to go off of available pics. According to this it ends up being 203m in length vs the 234m of the others.

There isnt really anything that could be done to improve upon the 0083 Late type. It's pritty much a heavy cruiser in its own right.

>>13520895

That's because it was upsized so it could take three Rick Dom type heavy mobile suits inside it's hangar bays. Before the Musai could only fit about two Rick Dom's due to cramped space conditions.

So, Sub Pens first?

>>13520919
Sub pens sounds like a good idea. I suggest we ready a grenade just in case.

>>13520957

The two of you traverse down through the tight quarters of the facility. As you reach the fork, you check both ways, you can see any signs of combat coming from the reactor plant side of thing, but that's no guarantee.

In any case, if worst comes to worse and you lose power to the lift you'll just have to fight your way out through the sea entrance.

Advancing quickly but still being cuatious for hidden enemies you move towards the sub-pen area. Several giant pools for testing new Marine Mobile suits can be found here, and it's hard to interpret what is the detritus from failed prototypes and actual combat.
Which is probably how an enemy mobile suit almost able to take you by suprise as it rises up out of the ruined parts. You barely manage to parry his beam daggers with your own Beam Saber, and hit him close range with the Heat Rod. The mobile suit staggers backwards, it's arms flailing spasmodically and you fire a burst from your head vulcans at it.

The bullets tear off chunks fo armour and the enemy unit staggers as it tries to dive into cover, Elaine catches it a glancing shot with her beam rifle, and you see an arm fly off.

The enemy unit appeared to be an aquatic variant on the GM, with bulky shoulders, possibly some kind of acquatic motor.

You toss a grenade it's way to hopefully finish it off.

>>13521241
Fuck it's Bandit!

>>13521241
Oh God. I bet this mean we're going to run into the Waterproof Gundam

>>13521307
Remain calm. Bandit has better reflexes than that.

>The bullets tear off chunks fo armour and the enemy unit staggers as it tries to dive into cover
Deffinitely not Luna Titanium. If that's the case our grenade should act like a depth charge.

>>13521380
>our grenade should act like a depth charge
Then maybe a few more are in order?

Let's throw in 3 more grenades.

>>13521425
Let's not waste them. Obviously the pilot isn't all that skilled, and he's wasted his element of surprise. If the grenade doesn't finish him off we can easily finish him off when he comes back up.

The mobile suit lost an arm. And it dove away from us to where we couldn't see it.

It's Bandit.

>>13521483
Bandit wouldn't have lost the arm and would have hit us with that kind of surprise. It's not Bandit.

>>13521499
It's Apologized fucking with us. That mobile suit is gonna show up again, and Bandit is gonna be piloting it.

>Bandit this. Bandit that.
That reminds me. How DOES one work controls meant for two hands with only one? Wouldn't it require pretty much any suits he pilots to have custom cockpits?

After carefully checking that you've managed to take out your opponent you move out into the submarine yard proper. Several dock walls provide cover to your left, you and there are about three docking pens for submarines filled with watter, in the distance you can hear and see the signs of combat.
close by, propped up against a crane is a ruined Acguy, it's missing one arm and one leg, and ammo from it's head vulcans has spilled onto the ground from a large tear in it's head. There is a ruined submarine in the distant sub-pen, it is sinking and billowing smoke.

The Acguy's mono-eye turns to face you, you attempt to raise it, but his communications seem to be down.

YOUR ORDERS?

Any chance it could be a Feddie Ambush?

>>13521520
The two of us head towards it. One of us focuses on the Acguy. It could have a Fed pilot in it trying to steal data and whatnot. The other one of us keeps our "eyes" peeled on the area around us.

>>13521520
Use the external speakers. We have those, right?

Either way there should be some sort of code to exchange in times like these.

>>13521544
Maybe it wouldn't be a good idea to broadcast on loudspeakers that there are two Zeon mobile suits here while there's fighting going on nearby.

>>13521520
Motion for the Acguy's pilot to bail; he's just a sitting target in that condition.
Let's see if he can tell us what's going on with the battle then.

>>13521520
Can we exchange signals though suit contact yet, or is that not until the 0080s?

>>13521515
The same way somebody drives a car with only one hand. Modified controls.

>>13521343
>Oh God. I bet this mean we're going to run into the Waterproof Gundam
>Waterproof Gundam
>Armor materials: titanium/ceramic composite
This should be one of the easiest Gundams to kill ever.

>>13521515
if you can pilot a val varo with one hand you can pretty much do anything, but yes, specialized controls

>>13521559

Seconded. I find the inability to communicate too fishy, and even then, he's essentially useless in combat.

Prep a cracker grenade to throw at a moment's notice. Get ready for an ambush.

>>13521559
This. Set it to blow if tampered with.
>>13521558
If there isn't some sort of volume control then someone needs shot.

>>13521569
>if you can pilot a val varo with one hand
Who does that?

>>13521627
Kelly Layzner, in 0083. Of course, he basically rebuilt the cockpit from the ground up to do so.

>>13521652
>he basically rebuilt the cockpit from the ground up to do so
Ah. As I expected.

>>13521539

"Hey, you okay?" you ask over your loudspeakers, in an attempt to communicate.
The Acguy raises it's arm and begins somewhat jerkily waving at you.
You just manage to realise he's trying to get you to move out of the way and dodge the salvo of micromissiles fired from behind. Using the shadows of the Dry Dock Wall, an enemy unit must have been lying in wait to see if anyone would take the bait.

The missiles streak past you and into the Acguy, you seem him raise his remaining arm to try and shield himself from the blasts before explosions obscure him from sight.
Pushing past you, Elaines Gelgoog steps up and hops sideways, her Beam Naginta in her hand, there's crack, followed by a hiss as she ignites the weapon at point blank in the enemies torso. The maneouver takes seconds.

You turn back to the Acguy, it's in a bad way, the suit is near completely destroyed, but luckily the cockpit seems to have survived. A few seconds later, the pilot escapes, wrapping a head gash up with the bandages stored inside the cockpit.
He starts talking to you and you tune the directional mike in his direction to hear.

"...thanks, but you've got to be as quiet as possible down here, once either side gives away their position, the enemy converges on it. I think Cima and her team are trying to draw the worst of it away from the dock entrance by being as flash as possible, I guess they hope that if any of the acquatic Mobile Suits we sent to assault the enemy fleet directly survived then they can catch the enemy mobile suits in a pincer... Don't bother trying to reply, my radio's busted, and the loudspeakers would only attract more trouble. I'm getting out of here, there should be an infantry scale elevator somewhere nearby. Good luck man!"

You see him run away until smoke and shadows obscure him.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>13521879
Head for the explosions.

>>13521949
And stick to the shadows whenever possible.

God bless our color scheme.

Mr flibbles is not impressed

>>13521949
>>13521966
Seconding both of these.
Let's see if we can't scare the Feddies shitless by appearing out of the shadows like Death incarnate.

>David Lister

>>13522023

Clearly, someone hasn't read Zeonquest. Ever.

Old joke is very, very old.


Annnnyway....this definitely strikes me as terrain a flashbang or two woulda been handy...but make do with what we go, eh?

>>13522083
>flashbang or two woulda been handy
We've still got our flash grenades with us, if you've got a plan.

I still prefer the "Skull Knight out of fucking nowhere!" sneaking plan.

>>13522144

Well, if we catch sight of things, rolling one around a corner, then jetting out at speed and shredding a few Feddies on the way along isn't a bad idea.

>>13522007
>>13522023

I swear to fucking god if I ever meet the guy who suggested that name in the first thread in real life I will end him.

>>13521949
>>13521966

You try to be as stealthy as possible as you make your way towards the sounds of explosions. Hopefully from the Mashiba Team.

As you skulk through the darkened waterways and streets you suddenly come across a pair of Goggs, they react quickly to you, raising their hands to face you. Upon seeing that you aren't an enemy they relax.

"Sorry, but there are enemy Marine Mobile suits all over the place, operating in the water in this part of the docks is dangerous, several of them are currently waiting in ambush in the pools. Last we heard though the see access was still contested, hopefully our returning friendlies will be able to sneak in. Plus, the Mashiba team is taking a toll on the enemy. Although even they've got to be at their limit by now..."

You tell them the situation up top, and they reset their laser communications to link themselves back up with the main force once they get outside.

"We lost the main laser communications network trunk for the underground docks thanks to Marine Mobile Suit commando's, we lost almost a company of Mobile Suits just to dislodge them and keep the reactor safe." He explains.

"So, what do you want us to do, make our retreat now, or come with you?"

YOUR ORDERS?

>>13522221
I think it might be good to have them come with us for reinforcements. Once we get the Mashiba team, we can regroup and have a fighting retreat.

Take them along. They're in good condition and we may very well run into submerged areas- or possibly have to make them to slow someone up. Having a few water-friendly suits with us isn't a bad thing.

>>13522263
Second. Also why havent these Goggs been upgraded to hygoggs yet?

>>13522307

Not everyone gets the top-line stuff.

Wait, why are we on Earth now? HOW THE FUCK ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET BACK INTO SPACE?

>>13522341

Read the last few (bazillion) episodes. The base has space-capable launch options, including *ding* the Outer Heaven we came in on.

Don't panic. Keep your towel handy...

(Oh, hell. I just added more British sci-fi humor. My bad.)

>>13522324

This. Hygoggs have been around since June, but they're pricey, so only there's not that many of them around.

You tell them to accompany you whilst you advance. They slow you down a little, but the extra firepower more than makes up for it.
Maintaing a cautious formation you begin to get close to where Cima and the Mashiba Team are fighting.

You can tell, the hairs on the back of your neck raise up as you get glimpses of the Cima's mobile suit, still surrouned in a blue corona, you feel like your being stalked by a lion.

You turn a corner to see the ruined wreck of a Gyan Marine, the central chest area has been completely collapsed and the Shield binder ruined. The drop tanks have been ruptured, and propellent has spilt all over the floor, you'll have to be careful not to ignite it, as it could explode.

Then, the Cima's Gyan leaps onto the roof of a nearby building, rushing up to greet her are a pair of unknown gundams, both brandishing a pair of beam daggers, they appear to be underwater type mobile suits as well.
Her Beam Lance is a flurry of movement as she parries their combined thrusts. The enemy pilots don't appear particularily skilled individually, but it's clear that they've practiced working together as a team.

"Look out!" One of your Goggs manages to get out as several large missiles hit it, it explodes like a rotten tomato and rolls towards you before coming to a halt, it very nearly reached the propellant from the destroyed Gyan.

Behind him you can see at least three of the Marine GM's coming out of submarine pen to try and flank you.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>13522444
They know we're here.
Flash out mixed in with a few stick grenades. Follow up with our bullpup and Elaine with a panzerfaust. If we make a big enough ruckus, it might distract the GM's fighting Cima to give her an opening.

Since they're still emerging they'll be slow. Open up some suppression fire on them, then toss two cracker grenades at them.

>>13522496

Those are Gundams fighting Cima.

>>13522512
Ah, you are right.
However, my plan still stands; those pilots are good as a team, but we're better.

If we can draw those Marine GM's into the fuel pool, we can probably use it to buy us some more time in helping Cina. Either way, get the hell out of it and give that double-teamed Zeonic badass a hand. With our guns.

What's so great about this Cima dame?

>>13522582

In the canon timeline, she's Gihren's fall gal for war atrocities and ends up with a serious pile of sucky events that lead to her impaled on a mega beam cannon shortly before it fires.

Here, Garma has been a far kinder experience and commander. She's an ace pilot, and having her around is only good for our Zabi boy. We need all the best pilots we can get here, y'know!

>>13522496
Mostly agreeing with this though dont hesitate to use beam weapon on the ones not fighting Cima. Commence with the Dakka and avenge out Gogg wingman!

>>13522649
Should we have Cima stick with Garma, or come with us to the big battle in space?

Also, I'm for securing the reactor right after this fight..

>>13522509
>>13522496

You toss a flashbang into their midst and charge forwards pulling out your bullpup as you go. The first grenade stuns them momentarily and they begin firing wildly in your direction, the missiles punch hard against your sturdy Shield, but the luna-titanium structure takes it without buckling. A lot of the shots go wide though.

Elaine in her Gelgoog leaps atop a building to get a higher vantage point, and also so as not to crowd your own maneouvers. She nimbly dodges the enemy fire and sends a lethal shot back with her beam rifle. To add to the havoc you also begin firing with your Bullpup rifle.

Above, the Gundam's battling Cima pull back to try and get more range, they attempt to supress her advance with wrist mounted harpoons before firing from their beam rifles at her. She sidesteps clean off the building over all of your heads and onto the building you had been just sheltering beside. The two Gundam's follow her, she then fires a couple of rockets from her shield into the propellant pool from the destroyed Gyan as they cross.

An large concussive explosion follows from the resultant Fuel Air Explosion.

The force of it knocks you forwards, barrelling into the enemy crowd, together this giant, almost comical metal tangle of limbs is pushed back into the water with you along with it. Your screens show nothing but the dark blue and you check your sonar sensors for a clearer picture. There are at least 5 enemy mobile suits here.
One begins to right itself, and points it's missile launcher weapon at you, and is then completely obscured by the great barrelling mass of your allied Gogg as it dives into it. There's a flash of light and the Gogg pulls back before the GM explodes, a massive bright hole in it's torso where the Gogg's beam cannons had destroyed it at point blank.

Dimensions: overall length 194 meters

The 3rd turret is on the underside and can traverse 360 degrees. All topside AA guns are mirrored on the underside. Launch catapults are topside only.
MS are aligned vertically in the MS bay like in the Zanzibar allowing use in the atmosphere. MS are recovered through three large aft doors which can be opened one at a time or simultaniously. 6 MS can be carried if two are parked on the elevators.
This ship is intended to carry a Minovsky craft system.

Effectiveness of Heat rods underwater? I'd hate to electrocute our own suit.
Other than that keep shooting and try to hit some of them with the edge of our shield. I wouldnt reccomend staying underwater for long though.

>>13522835
We're underwater with no effective aquatic weapons except grenades.
Get the hell out, and leave a few grenades as presents to the Feddies.

Get a sitrep from Cima, check how she's doing.

>>13522879
I think she may be a little busy dealing with the two Gundams to respond right now. anyway have us and the Gogg get out and lob a nade in thereto hopefully get a few in one go.

>>13522878
Those should work, though it'll have boiling bubbles coming off it.
Beam swords didn't normally work underwater, though there have been examples of a few exceptionally powerful ones that did.

>>13522879
We have our bullpup, that works. Still, we're at a massive disadvantage underwater.

So all pretty much agreed, then?
GTFO of the water while firing our bullpup and dropping a few grenades?

>Looking for a name for this class.
Are you looking for some zeonic syllabic hash like a Dunzolo or a Zolthuss, or a real world place name like a Trafalgar or a Gallipoli?

Also, we should probably get out of the water. We seem to be a bit out numbered in a position where most if not all of our offensive options are ineffective. I believe that quick a strategic retreat is in order.

>>13523038
I'm considering naming it the Deikun class since once the war is over they'll mainly be used (hopefully) to protect the Space colonies and Side Three. Like that'll ever happen.

You decide to take the oppourtunity caused by the confusion of the Goggs attack to try and get out of the water.
Your mobile suit reacts sluggishly acquatic adventures don't seem to suit it all that well. But the extra thrust enables you to punch up out of the water.
The last thing you see before you clear the waves was the Gogg moving to engage the enemy at close range.

Then your view is obscured by the large scale underwater explosion caused by Elaine firing her Bazooka into the waters.

The effect was like dumping blood into the water. All of a sudden the entire sea area erupted in storm of unseen explosions, the fizzle and hissing of water boiling over with beam explosions and other symptoms of a brutal underwater battle.

You didn't know it at the time, but Elaines bazooka, aside from managing to damage a couple of the enemy, the shockwave also acted somewhat like a sonar's ping, and all of a sudden everyone in the underwater dock entrance section knew where everybody else was.

You manage to get yourself up top. One of the Gundams has been destroyed, the other is still fighting with Cima. Her movements seem to have become sluggish, possibly fatigue.

Elaine is now back on ground level so as to not expose herself. You don't see any nearby enemies, but the roads themselves are aflame due to the explosion, you'll have to roof-hop to assist Cima, exposing yourself.

Also, your ground sonar is picking up odd vibrations through the Anti-Sonar construction...

YOUR ORDERS?

>>13523222
Put some head vulcan fire into the Gundam's backside if possible. It shouldnt damage Cima much if any stray shots get through.
Try to look around for any potential choke points that more MS might come in through.

>>13523222
-Assist Cima
-Elaine gets to covering
-Keep an eye out for something to happen with that shaking

I wonder if it's one of those drilling land battleships again.

>>13523222
Elaine is capable enough to help Cima by herself. In the meantime, we should try to find out what those vibrations are, and what's causing them.

>>13523351
Seconding this.
We need to make sure that the surprise, whatever it is, doesn't whack us, Elaine, or Cima from behind.

>>13523351
>>13523461

You tell Elaine to assist Cima whilst you go to investigate the suspicious contact.
Elaine moves up, but has to swiftly take cover and return fire as a group of enemy units attack her from the street level.
Although tey're bogging her advance down, she'd effectively stymied there's.

You quickly check around, the sonar contact is small and hard to pinpoint, you can't really tell whether it's a big contact masked by the anti-sonar construction of the docks, or if it's a small drill equipped vehicle.

You just manage to isolate it down to be slightly below possibly a small warehouse when Cima makes a mistake and her hand holding the beam lance is sheared off. The unit stumbles backwards, barely avoiding the followup attack.

You move to assist when the roof underneath the Gundam's feet explodes, and then collapses. The Mobile Suit follows.
You leap atop the roof to get a better look. Just as you do so, the entire wall to the left of the enemy GM's that Elaine was fighting explodes in a shower of dust and the sound of heavy duty drills can be heard as the Agg charges from the beach and basically ploughs strait through the leading enemy unit. Behind him is a Agguguy, his heat rods lash out, his head vulcans giving all they've got, and another enemy explodes. In these tight quarters, the advantage is the Agguguys, and the enemy tries to retreat.

"Get after them, keep the pressure on them, I'm going to deal with that Gundam!" You order Elaine who gives pursuit.

You leap across the gap to the other building. Inside you can see the Zugock finish of the enemy Gundam, pulling one of his heat boomerangs from a severed arm, a one armed Juagg nearby.

All of which, are in Nachtmaren colours.

>>13523622
>All of which, are in Nachtmaren colours.
BUH-ROTHERS!

>>13523622

time for giant party skeletons running thru the base causing trouble just like at jaburo.

get Cima and her unit out of here. then lets head for the powerplant before that goes up in flames

>>13523622
Nice. I was wondering if those guys would make an appearance.
Let's mop up the rest of the Feddies, and look for Cima. Get a sitrep, and then we gotta secure the reactor.

God damn.

In the end of all of this, David is going to be screwed. He'll be forced to flee, a small ragtag band of MS pilots and support crew coming with him, hiding on some forgotten asteroid base, building Nachtmaren into something formidable. Something with which he'll get his revenge.

>>13523661

>>13523622
Saved by Jaburo infiltration designs. Never thought I'd see the day.

>>13523622

Upon seeing you, the Zeon unit salutes you, somewhat sardonically.
"We thought the main entrance looked to dicey. So we made our own." He states

"Yeah, you gotta love those Agg's." You reply.
"Look, I'm going to check on Cima, cover me if you can." You ask him.

"Roger."

The greetings apparently made you take the chance to check up on Cima. You don't get any response on the communications, but it doesn't look like the cockpit is damaged.

She's probably knocked herself out or something. You check the area a second time, and after you're sure it's probably clear for at least a few more minutes, you tell Elaine what you're doing and open the cockpit.

The smell of saltwater, oil and smoke greet you as you get your first taste of earth air for quite a while. You don't have time for that right now though, and you quickly make your way to Cima's Gyan Marine, the cockpit accepts your security key and opens up for you.
Cima Girahous is currently slumped over in her chair, she still appears to be breathing and hasn't sustained any injuries, so from the looks of it, she's just unconcious. You reach inside to try and wake her up.

You are suddenly hit by a blinding headache, and a horrific sound that would be best described as a thousand voices screaming words you can't make out whilst simultaneously, it's like someone just took a cheesegrater to your brain.
You recoil backwards instantly.

What the fuck was that?

TO BE CONTINUED.

EXAM System feedback?

>>13523718
Well dickcheese

>>13523674
Go take your meds. Your paranoia is showing.

>>13523733
Probably. Either that or KONNO PRESSHA, which on Earth would mean that something on the level of your average Godzilla rampage is about to happen.

Omake?

>>13523797
Should we remove Cima from the system, or would doing so cause dangerous feedback if we don't disconnect her properly?

>>13523815
She's not plugged into the MS or anything, so she should be okay to move, but Dave probably shouldn't be this close to an EXAM unit for long.

>>13523865
Remove Cima from MS, have others get her and MS to surface, secure reactor with just David and Elaine?

Omake? 

there is an exam unit nearby guys is what apologized is saying which is ment to hunt us down and kill us while we cry like little girls as it rapes our soul

>>13523943
Shut up, fag

>>13523955

you say that now. but wait till we have to roll d+100 for combat next week to avoid our mind from breaking and our soul from being flayed

>>13523983
You really should shut up & take your damn medicine already.

So no omake, then?

>>13524009

Cima is IN the EXAM suit, you colossal retard.

>>13524017
This thread ran rediculously late as it was. I doubt apologised would have been able to do an omake if he'd wanted.

>>13524144
And that has what to do with my post?

bitches don't know bout my EXAM

>>13523718
Well that all went better than expected. And we got to see those guys from the first Jaburo assault again. Though the news of Cima using the EXAM system puts me ill at ease. That's the thing where they torture a Newtype to death and put their souls into a MS to enhance its performance, right?

>>13524405
All of them are are built from the same base machine so it's just 1 dead newtype.
Until all of these suits are destroyed then they'll have to kill another one. And another, and another. So yeah I'd say you were right.

Any other name suggestions for my Zeon Defense Cruiser? Since that's all we'll likely be able to build after the war, defense ships.

>I'm considering naming it the Deikun class since once the war is over they'll mainly be used (hopefully) to protect the Space colonies and Side Three.

>MS are aligned vertically in the MS bay like in the Zanzibar allowing use in the atmosphere

>Publicly acknowledged only as a 'defensive measure for side three' but designed with features that would only be of use inside of an atmosphere

I'm picking up on some inconsistencies here.

Deikun-Class could work, but so could just about any major battle or dead hero that the one year war produces. Char could get a class named after him easy if he gets killed before things are done wrapping up. Other than the Black Tri-Stars, who else has died that was fairly celebrated?

>>13525027
>I'm picking up on some inconsistencies here.
I have no idea what you're talking about *Trollface*
In all seriousness it could be designed to carry a Minovsky craft system which could be fitted at a later time. We'd just keep a few with the system already installed. You never know we might need to send a couple down to Africa to help clear out Girhen supporters as part of treaty obligations.

>Other than the Black Tri-Stars, who else has died that was fairly celebrated?
I didnt reall think it'd work well naming a ship class after them. Maybe a training academy?

Well there's Captain Fontaine. Overall we've kept a lot of famous Zeons from getting knocked off.

>>13525220
Yeah. We've saved all the people with good names and most of the major battles we've been in don't really lend themselves to naming things after.

Fontaine-Class might be good though. He did get a hero's funeral and was a close personal friend of Ramba Ral, so that more than enough political endorsement for getting a ship named after him.
