Tonight's off to a good start.

>>22045659
I've taken a look at Vienna, and the Vienna International Airport.

If we can get the Hercules there, the airport has a landfill just to the east of it. We can have our Scavenge Scarabs begin breaking down stuff for RU's as long as we can secure it.

>>22045761
Also, Hornet Attack Helicopters with Soulchips and Cloaking Devices, as well as Puma's with Cloaking Devices should be sent in ahead of the organic recon teams.

>>22045685
Two 70s, that's not bad... for us...

>>22045667
Your dropships offload their cargo safely, Ryu immediately breaking off from the others and vanishing into the night. The dropships, with their Mad Cats to cover them, wait at the airport. The rest of the troops head for Vienna, to gather information there.

An hour later, the SCP troops have secured an abandoned warehouse with a fair view of the landing base, the Shadowrunners surveying it with long distance scopes from the roof.

Ryu returns having scouted the area in person.

The Aurors, having sequestered themselves in an isolated room for scrying, march out with blackened faces and soot-stained armor after the rituals complete.

"Pennyworth got possessed," one says, hooking a thumb at one of his fellows, comatose. "We got the daemons out of him, but we're out of juice for a while."

>Aurors exhausted.
>Ryu has report.
>Shadowrunners have report.

>>22045659
Plan for the recon is:
Leopard arrives at Vienna International and offloads the Mad Cats. They stay hidden in a hangar.

The Hercules sails up the Danau river to a point close to the airport where it weighs anchor.
It sends Scavenge Scarabs to the airport's landfill to begin getting RU's.
It produces cloaked Puma's and Hornets, who will be the first ones into Vienna itself, and who will look for the location of the NC base.

Once identified, the recon team will be given local currency, and will move into a second-best overwatch position on the base, as the first is probably watched.

Puma's will roam the streets as Hornets buzz through the city keeping tabs on NC patrols.

>>22046115
Goddamnit.

Have an Al'Kesh come down to pick up the Aurors, and have them take a break inside Elysium. They'll be ready to go again in 2 hours at the earliest.
And someone splash some Holy Water on Fumbles over there.

Let's hear Ryu and the Shadowrunners reports, then we'll see if this needs to be done >>22046125

>>22046115

Seconding hearing Ryu's and the Shadowrunners' scouting reports. We need to know what forces we're up against before we start making a concentrated push.

"S'not my fault..." Fumbles mumbles as someone throws water over him.

"There's about four of those EVA-Titan things hanging back around the base, twenty souped up heavy tanks, two super-heavy tanks, and some infantry and heavy infantry to boot," the Shadowrunners report.

"Those numbers are correct. With twelve powered armored troopers and sixty normal infantry armed with laser weapons," Ryu nods. "They appear to be setting up batteries of missiles and artillery and a few warp-gates as well as automated sentries, five to each cardinal point by the time I left. The large kind."

>>22046352
By the rate at which they're working, what's the estimated time of completion?

Also, where in Vienna is the base being constructed?

>>22046352
This is a map of Vienna. The area circled in red is the Vienna International Airport, and the airport's landfill.
As you can see, the Danau River is quite close to the airport.

>>22046373
"City's edge, southwest," Ryu reports. "I estimate they'll finish setting everything up in 30 minutes."

>>22046524
"A.N.O.N., can the Storm's sensors pinpoint that base, and target it with Singularity Lasers and an Abaddon's dialed down pulse lasers?
"How ready is the Relentless to make entry into atmo above Vienna?"

Also, the Hercules is already down there at the Danau River, right?

>>22046591
If it'll take too long for the Relentless to arrive, we may need to have the Hercules send an attack force in order to slow down construction at the gates.

Contact Admiral Misumaru, and tell him that the Warp Gates are going to become operational in 30 minutes, and that we're going to commence an attack as soon as our orbital assets are ready for a pin-point strike.

ANON, how long will it take us to deploy the ARCHIMEDES II satellite?

>>22046524

>Ryu & Shadowrunners

Did you see anything that might suggest the presence of any orbital defenses? While there's a lot of static going around the planet, it would seem odd that NuChaos would be unconcerned about orbital bombardment. They may have something in place to counter orbital strikes, or otherwise some sort of countermeasure to ensure that we won't be celebrating a successful orbital strike.

>>22046667
>>22046591

How strong is an AT field? Or four? Could they stand up against repeated orbital bomardment from capital ship weaponry? I know that we killed EVA-titans with our ships before, but they weren't exactly in a concentrated defense position like this.

File: 1355539210736.gif-(617 KB, 1499x786, Vienna2.gif)

>>22046524
The purple circle represents where New Chaos has their base. It's right next to the town of Doktorberg.

Blue Triangle is the Relentless and its escort of Mikasa, SY-3 Squadron, Indefatigable, VF-25's, TIE-D's, LEO-2's, R-9A's, R-9C's, TIE-D Scrap, Galaga, and 200 TIE-D/C's, when they arrive in atmosphere.

The Yellow Diamond is where an Al'Kesh, such as the Rodger Young, will, while cloaked, unload the M-270's we've equipped with Chemical Warheads (Aglaophotis-A). The New Chaos base is well within their range.

The Green Line is the attack force from the Hercules, that will hopefully buy us time.

>>22046751
Even better if the New Chaos does have anti-orbital defenses and sat-killers; they'll see our preparations for an orbital strike, make to defend against it, when we sucker punch them with a ground assault spearheaded by Soulchipped hovertanks and Aglaophotis Missiles.

>>22046591
ANON: "It could."

Yes it is.

>>22046667
Too long at this pont.

>>22046751
"They did have a number of machines we couldn't identify. Maybe they did something like that? Looked like a few half-discs buried in the ground two or three stories tall."

>>22046914
Did any of the Shadowrunner's get a picture?
Ryu did remember to wear his ART specs, right?
Go through their video and get a picture of those structures, and have ANON run them through our database.

Meanwhile, have the Rodger Young collect up the M-270's with their chemical payloads, and have them deploy 2 miles north of Pressbaum, and have ANON feed them the targeting coordinates they need.

Hercules, begin construction of Phoenix Gunships with Longbow Missiles, Deflector Shields, and Ammunition Modules.
Also of Shark Attack Hoverships with Scalpel guns, deflector shields, and extra armor.
All to be Soulchipped.

ANON, have one of the Abbadon Battleships begin manuevers to put it into position over the NC base, as if it's preparing for an orbital strike.

Have troops and equipment finished transferring over to the Relentless, and is it and its escorts ready to enter atmo?
>>22046862
I would actually change the Relentless target LZ to be 40 miles north of Vienna instead.

>>22047042
Make sure that the Rodger Young checks the LZ before deploying the M-270's.
And have them take along the Zombie Hunters to help secure the perimeter while the M-270's get ready to launch.

>>22047042
Ryu uploads the picture from his visor as preparations are made elsewhere. The Relentless is ready to enter atmo.

File: 1355540205645.jpg-(30 KB, 570x317, ANYbombardment.jpg)

>>22047108
whoops.

>>22047070
>>22047042
The M-270 has a range of 42km. Why don't we pull them back even further, to, say, Herzogenburg, which should be well within the operation range of the missiles that the M-270 packs.

>>22047120
Well, that's concept art for a Republic Generator from the Old republic.

>>22047120
>>22046914

Old Republic-era generators. They likely have pop-up lasers or other similar cannons that are capable of firing on starships or such.

If AT-fields are one way, the EVA-titans could shield the turrets while they blast everything to bits.

>>22047120

Right.

"Ryu, do you think you can get in close to those things? They're shield generators and if we want a bombardment, those things need to go up in smoke."

>>22047162
>>22047120
Specifically, it's the type of generator used to power the deflector shield that protected Echo Base on Hoth.

We could prep the ground assault, and use it as a distraction for Ryu to get in with thermal detonators to destroy the power generators.
As soon as they're destroyed and Ryu is safely away, we could initiate an orbital bombardment.

>>22047216
Specifically, we have the ground attack go off as planned, with the Hercules Attack Force timing its attack with the M-270's chemical bombardment.
Don't forget that the Hercules also has naval guns that it can fire at the base as well.

We then have Ryu sneak in, using the attacks as cover, and have him sabotage the shield generators with thermal detonators.
He gets out, and signals that he's safe, and we then incinerate the site from orbit.

The Relentless and its attack force still make preparations to enter atmo, as if they're the knockout punch of our assault, instead of being the mop-up crew.

Ryu will also need to be buffed before he goes in, too, with ReRaise and Invisibility. And he should probably carry an Aglaophotis-B gas grenade or three just in case.

>>22047320
Ryu can be inserted into the area via a cloaked Hornet attack helicopter, or a Puma.

Or should we have the Rodger Young handle this?

>>22047345

If they're experienced in stealth drops, sure.

But transportation is risky. Teleporting anything more complex than a bottle of water beyond 1-2 miles is risking horrible teleportation accidents.

>>22047345

Ah crap, >>22047376

Just realized that you might mean teleporting random junk into the generators to disable them or possibly short them out. I guess that would depend on if the Rodger Young can get a lock on to the generators while maintaining a safe distance from enemy weapons.

>>22047403
Or, the Rodger Young is used as a cloaked transport, and it inserts by having its cloak up and flying low, landing, and having Ryu hop out.

Though we do have the Stealth Skyrangers we could use for this as well.

The Rodger Young, however, is a Hero Unit and has a higher chance of success.

MetaOP, you asked to be reminded about the Tiberium Tekkamen Project and the EVA Autopsy Project from last thread.

>>22047320

An alternative to the above method of destroying the generator springs to mind. If i understand correctly the shield generator on hoth had a low flight ceiling but there was still space for low flying craft to operate.

Low level precision strikes is something valkyries are very good at.

If the VF25s can knock out the generator that leaves the warp gates open to an orbital strike from the storm and indie.

Then the relentless and ties can enter providing air superiority for the ground assault.

>>22047693
The problem with that are the EVA-Titans and any anti-air missile batteries they've already got online.

However, the shield generators are usually ray shields; they can't deflect physical objects as well.

The Hercules has naval guns which could destroy the generators.

>>22047731

These are star wars shields though. They seem to work fine against physical stuff like torpedoes and missiles

>>22047763
There is a difference:
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ray_shield

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Theater_shield

Depending on the type of shield, an artillery bombardment may work.

>>22047830

Easily tested. just have the herc fire a few rounds at the edge of the shields zone. Don't aim for anything important, make it look like tentative probing.

Or ryu could throw a rock really hard and we track its progress

>>22047941
Wouldn't it be better to target the large buildings instead, to make it appear as though we're not sure of what exactly we're targeting?

They may raise the shield after the initial bombardment, and we'd lose the chance at taking out the generator.

>>22047830

Well, coming to a world that doesn't rely exclusively on laser weapons, in fact, almost not at all; I'd say the enemy is not that dumb to only bring a ray-shield.

>>22047941
>>22047973

I'd rather we not lose the element of surprise when we engage.

>>22047973
>in for a penny, in for a pound

i guess i can work with that logic.

Or ryu thorws a rock really hard, i still consider that a valid option

>>22047979
>I'd say the enemy is not that dumb to only bring a ray-shield.
I think so, but these are also the people who antagonized a whole bunch of Canons without actually taking full control over them.

Anyway, if we fire the Hercules' guns, then the enemy will concentrate on the Hercules.
We will need the VF-25's and Destroids, as well as some TIE-D/C's protecting the Hercules.
If there's a ship firing naval guns, that tends to get people's attention, which should allow Ryu to sneak in.

>>22048018
Which way do you want the surprise to go?
Have Ryu sneak in first, bring down the shield generators, then have a surprise orbital strike and attack?

Or we start off with a decoy attack, draw the enemy's attention to the Hercules and the Relentless entering atmo, then while distracted, Ryu sneaks in and disables the shield generators, which allows the Storm and the Abaddon to fire a surprise orbital strike.

>>22048203
I'm thinking the attack should be the surprise. They might raise the alert if we start bombarding them.
Unlike the factions from Warhammer 40k, they understand basic tactics and know what a decoy attack is.

>>22048203

The first one would be preferable.

>>22048203

We should setup a victory point in clear sight outside there base and capture it.

Then we wait for them to run after it.

>>22048257
Alright.

Let's get this ball rolling, then.

We need a White Mage (White Mage Squad B and Lyla) to get to where the investigation team is currently. Have Wall and ReRaise cast on Ryu, have one of the Shadowrunner Mages cast Invisibility on him as well.

When the White Mages come down in one of the Al'Kesh, also have them bring 3 Aglaophoits-B gas grenades, and a satchel of thermal detonators.

Ryu already has a Reality Emitter Mk. III, so that should be enough.

A Stealth Skyranger gets him to an insertion point.

He sneaks in, sets the thermal detonators to go off and disable the shield generators, and as soon as he gets out and signals that he's safe and the generators go up, the Storm and a pair of Abaddon's initiate an orbital strike.

Other preparations, such as the M-270's getting in place, and the Hercules putting together its own Soulchipped strike force, and the Relentless preparing to enter atmo; all of that continues as well, so that New Chaos is not tipped off as to our plan.

Anything missing?

"...and that's the last of it. Good luck, Ryu," a White Mage says, giving the ninja a worried look as she finished the last of her spells.

"Luck is irrelevant. Nothing is a match for my skill," Ryu murmurs, nodding to the Mage as he turned. "I'll be back shortly."

>>22048615

Sure, Ryu. You still owe Aeshma a drink.
And when fighting against an enemy that manipulates probability, you need luck to be on your side.

How does it feel to have saved the day?

>>22048615
Ryu's uplink to the ship is turned off to prevent detection and possible subversion as the ninja attempts to infiltrate the base, but the Shadowrunners occasionally manage to catch glimpses of him from their station on the warehouse roof.

"There he goes..."

"Holy shit, did that sword just cut through all that armor?"

"Scratch two space marines. Uh oh, that one infantryman looks like he's going to get a-"

"Ouch. Windmill star to the back."

"He's past the outer patrols."

"I think that... nope. Nope, he snuck past him."

"Lost tracking. Where the hell did-"

An earthshaking explosion shattered the air as a column of flame licked the sky from the ruins of the shield generators.

"Oh, there he is."

Ryu arrives shortly after midnight, nodding.

"Mission complete."

Day 34.

Once the shield generators are down, we hit the base with a one-two-three combo.

The Oncoming Storm and the pair of Abaddons fire on the New Chaos base, targeting the Warp Gates and the anti-air defenses, respectively. They pull the targeting data from the ART Specs worn by Ryu and the Shadowrunners.

At the same time as the strike, the Hercules Strike Force lifts off and flies towards the base, being careful to time their arrival with Punch 3.

Punch 2 is the Hercules using its naval guns to flatten anything not destroyed by the orbital strikes.

Punch 3 is the chemical missile fire missions from the M-270's hitting the base, with the Soulchipped Phoenix gunships and Sharks attacking. The M-270's finish their fire mission then get loaded up into their attendant Al'Kesh, along with the Zombie Hunters.

At the same time as Punch 3, the Relentless and its escorts should be entering atmo.
The VF-25 Squadron and the TIE Defender Squadron, as well as the Destroid Squad, along with a 100 TIE-D/C's and an Arbiter and a Protoss Carrier, divert to the Hercules and the Leopard.

The Relentless and its escorts (everything else we can bring into atmo with us) pound the EVA-Titans (if they survived) and the remains of the NC base from a distance.

Anything I've missed in the plan?
As soon as Ryu had blown the generators and indicated he was a safe distance, the attack should have commenced.

The Hercules, of course, continues resourcing operations and the production of Soulchipped units.
MetaOP, the Tomahawk Destroids were researched for use in our replication machines. Can they be equipped with Creation Engine modules during their construction in the Creation Engine? Such as Deflector Shields, Cloaking Devices, and Soulchip Interfaces?

>>22048902
Actually yeah, there is more.

The Tria stays in orbit, but it can send one or two Ancient Drones down to help in the fighting. It'll be good practice for the TG Soldiers who are now the weapons officers for the Tria, and the Drones can punch through just about any shield. Though given the distance they're flying, they can probably only make 2 passes before needing to come up to be recharged. Or, they land at the Vienna International Airport for later retrieval.

The Relentless itself should be protected by a pair of Arbiters and be flanked with two Protoss Carriers.

If we can get Reavers on the ground, they'll be devastating to the enemy.

The Oncoming Storm's singularity lasers shear apart an EVA-Titan while the Abaddon's laser barrage splatters against another's AT-Field as it extends it over the base. Ground to orbit artillery begins firing as one of the EVA-Titans begins raising its weapons for a counter-strike. Another salvo from the Storm destroys it before it can manage that, however. The Abaddons' shields are down, but their armor is holding strong as clouds of missiles and beams soar towards them, exploding on their hulls.

The Hercules comes into firing range at this point, opening up with its naval guns to blast apart the scurrying infantry. Most of the shells explode against AT-Fields extended to intercept them, but a few get through.

The Aglaophotis missiles impact useless against the AT-Fields... at first. Though the fields succeed in stopping the missiles, the gas they release on impact seeps through it, covering the entire base in a red haze and causing havoc as servant daemons bound to equipment and shock troops wither and die.

As blood-red fog rolls across the New Chaos base, the skies above begin to churn and ignite.

The Relentless and its attendant carriers are descending through the atmosphere.

As the troops on the ground scramble to either retreat or take cover, the Relentless opens fire with its turbolasers as the Carriers on either side of it begin spewing wave after wave of automated interceptors.

The remaining EVA-Titans fire gigantic cannons, torrents of plasma and huge shells exploding against the shields of one of the Protoss Carriers. The remaining orbital defenses keep on firing even as the Storm and Abaddons fire another barrage that destroys even more of them.

As the Relentless focuses fire on the EVA-Titans, they are forced to stop shielding the base and commit to personal defense. With the loss of the two AT-Fields, the orbital strikes easily shred the rest of the base, most surviving New Chaos troops fleeing towards the armored column.

With its last salvo, the orbital defenses fire not at the Abaddons, but at one of the Carriers. The shields of the great ship go down at last, and as it turns to retreat and recharge, a lucky shot from the two EVA-Titans hits something critical in the engine block and the ship's reactor ruptures, tearing it apart in a great explosion of blue-white fire.

While the Hercules' soulchipped forces mop up the ruins of the base, the TIE-D/Cs run interference for the capital ships. The EVA-Titans do not bother with them however, allowing their laser cannons to whittle at their AT-Fields and focusing on the remaining carrier. However, while one laser cannons might be nothing to an AT-Field, 100 laser cannons backed by several swarms of dual-photon blasters is a whole lot of nothing. Though the second Carrier's shields drop dangerously low, one EVA-Titan is brought low by massed airstrikes as the other slumps over, its pilot killed by psychic power.

The battle is won.

"Er, if you think you can, please do."

You receive a transmission from the Photon Power Labs at this time. It contains a report of the EVA-Titan 'autopsy'. Most of it is just thing you already knew, it's essentially an immense heavy armed cyborg controlled by a linked pilot. Dr. Yumi does note however, than after review of the data, Dr. Hazuki noted the presence of psychic circuitry vaguely similar to the same type he installed in Dancougar, indicating that some EVA-Titans may be able to manifest psyker abilities of some degree. What few weak spots in its armor there are have been noted.

The Magellan contacts you shortly thereafter.

"We've finished going over the data from the Tekkaman files. There doesn't seem to be a specific weakness to any energy or particle type except sonic weapons. However, weapons of sufficient strength can still harm them. They're not invincible by any means, just extremely tough, and agile to boot. Their offensive capabilities are also astonishing, easily equaling that of New Chaos' EVA-Titan. In addition, their lack of any electronics make them difficult to track."

"Finally, one last note. In place of the Radam parasite at the base of the neck, there is a large crystal formation of Tiberium and a few unknown compounds. We are still unsure what this means."

>>22050056
>sonic weakness
"Captain Cruz, do you happen to have a sonic cannon of any kind? Preferably something we can put in our industrial replicators and that they can replicate en masse.
"But that leaves the question: if the Tiberium Tekkamen don't use the Radam neural parasite, then what's growing in those Radam plants?"

Also put this question to Dr. Yumi, and trade the research data on the two projects between them.

>>22050056
>Their offensive capabilities are also astonishing, easily equaling that of New Chaos' EVA-Titan

Well, there goes any plan regarding ground troops.

>>22050143
>>22050056
>doesn't seem to be a specific weakness to any energy or particle type except sonic weapons
>YVH Droids come with Sonic Rifles

We should be able to simply put the Sonic Rifle into an Industrial Replicator and tell it to replicate. Such uses of replicator technology have been shown before.

They simply don't know yet.

Cruz has a few schematics of sonic blaster weapons he can send to you. They're not anything special, however.

Your scientists have completed going through the data in the Void Engineer Core and have a report ready.

"After an analysis of the data left in the Void Engineer Core, we feel we've reached an almost complete understanding of the 'Meta'. The Void Engineers' theories state that all reality exists as a sort of shared agreement on perception by a grand communal unconscious. Things that disrupt or go against this agreement, things that make no logical sense, or are the result of singular wills attempting to overwrite or change portions of the agreement, they dub "Paradox." Though there is much debate on the nature of this 'Consensus' and 'Paradox', it must be stated that according to the data here, 'Paradox' is virtually identical to what we term 'reality distortions' to the point we believe they are in fact the same thing. They even have a name of their own for those who try to overwrite reality with their own vision and succeed to a degree... Marauders. Though not exactly the same as a S.U.E., the two types of being are extremely close in nature and function. There is a lot more theoretical work here that has the science team very excited, but the basics are that with this new insight, we can grasp how advanced gear in this area functions. For example, we've already determined that the mysterious cannon we recovered is a weapon system that causes a chain reaction in things that disrupt reality by their existence. They call this the 'Paradox Cannon'."

>Reality Emitter Mk.4 available for research.
>Mysterious Cannon is now known by its proper title, "Paradox Cannon."

>>22050413
Let's finish up the Paradox Cannon, then maybe we can finish Reality Emitter Mk. IV before the end.

>>22050413

So the Paradox Cannon is essentially a weapon tailored to destroy beings that create reality disruptions? So that'd make it essentially *THE* anti-SUE weapon.

I wonder if it has any effect on Chaos and Chaos-corrupted entities.

>>22050413
Do we see any new Void Engineer or New Chaos landings on the planet?

Does the Storm or Tria detect the expected Void Engineer reinforcements?

Also, can we contact the Great Crusade and the TSAB?
For Admiral Veleth, let him know that we were able to rescue some of his recon team, and if he's able to get us reinforcements.

For Commander Celeste, let her know that we've recovered her team, and ask her if our actions have been able to pull New Chaos and Void Engineer forces from her lines, letting her men and women get a respite from the fighting.

>>22050499
I think it's what the Void Engineers were using to one-shot New Chaos ships.
Like in the Open Door it was mentioned multiple times that the combination of Chaos and Angel biotech allowed them to rape the laws of physics in whatever world they were in.
Which makes them super-effective against this weapon.
...It might even work on regular Chaos for all we know.

File: 1355556807082.gif-(292 KB, 205x154, Imscrewinguptimeandnoonec(...).gif)

>>22050517
Yes to all three.

As you're about to make the call to the Great Crusade, two things happen. First, you detect the entrance of a huge number of ships in the system, and second, the fabric of space-time finally gives. Another reality distortion wave shakes the area as most of your sensors go dark beyond a certain range and transpace communication becomes impossible. Portals begin erupting everywhere planetside, disgorging random objects, people, and things picked up from anywhere and everywhere... A portal storm.

And apparently these portals are not just one way. A split second of energy buildup is detected around Crowe before he utters a startled cry and him and the Brasta vanish into a brilliant green and orange portal.

Though no corner of the globe seems to be completely untouched, there is only area that is the undisputed focus of the portal storm.

Sarajevo.

>>22050736
Can the Tria, the Storm, and the Indefatigable use their conventional sensors to determine what kinds of ships just popped in?

Also, this was that prophesied 2 hour mark when the New Chaos armored column makes contact with the Tiberium Radam Forest, correct?

Then the scientists will finish the Paradox Cannon research in 48 more minutes.

Or did Kane move up his timetable in order to fuck with us?

>>22050839
A little after, actually. Your cannon research is now completed.

Paradox Cannon: "This energy weapon requires a vast amount of power to work, but when fired at a vessel or being that requires altered natural laws to function, or draws power from such, results in a catastrophic explosion usually capable of annihilating the target in a single shot. The damage worsens the more 'Paradox' a target generates, since the initial beam triggers a chain reaction that releases all the stored energy of the Paradox as pure destructive power. Only our Advanced Engineering Bay can craft this weapon, though we can scale it down to vehicle size."

>Research available: Personal Paradox Blaster.

No your sensors cannot detect them at this range with that interference.

>>22050925
What exactly defines "natural laws"? Is that something that varies from canon to canon?
Like I assume that a high fantasy world would have different natural laws than a mundane Earth canon.
Furthermore, would that affect any of our forces, specifically Cheryl and our magic users?

>>22050983
You are correct. What is 'acceptable' seems to vary from world to world according to the database.

>>22050925
Making us choose between having a strong defense or having a strong offence?

I think we should put the research into Reality Emitter Mk. 4.

Has Dr. Cossack finished repairing and reprogramming Metal Man Mk. 2?

Along our projected path to Sarajevo, I've found several scrap yards, junkyards, recycling centers, and other such collections of metals that the Scarabs of the Hercules can break down for use in the Creation Engine.

This is a recycling center in the town of Torony, west of the city of Szombathely, 250 miles from Sarajevo.

>>22056930
This is Himberg, 10 miles from where we are now.

Suffice to say, as industrially developed nations are along our path, finding metals to fuel the Creation Engine will not be a problem.

We have a squadron of 4 Hornet choppers built. 1 will act as bait, and the other 3 will fly low beneath the AA coverage. When the AA battery takes the bait, the others will rush in and take it apart.

>>22050925

Would we be able to get images of the vessels? I mean, we could just get someone with real good eyesight and point a telescope and describe them to another person who is really good at accurately sketching things according to description if we need to.

Possibly, but not yet. They're on the other side of the planet and warp travel during a portal storm is ill-advised.

>>22051380
Your crew informs you that transitting back to Elysium during a portal storm is dangerous even for a ship like the Storm. They'll do it if you order them to, but you risk damage to the ship. Your Gate inside the ship is stable, so people and small scale things can move in and out, but anything that needs a transpace jump to get there is going to be taking risks.

>>22061165
Tosh activates his cloak and manages to find a vantage point on the second floor of an abandoned house fairly close to the fighting. With a scope, he observes and relays the following to you.

The EVA-Titans don't bother with subtlety. As soon as the immense armored column reaches the edge of the alien 'forest', they immediately open fire with their immense weapons in staggered salvos, literally burning a path clear through the Radam growths, the buildings around them, and really anything in the way. This sparks a violent reaction as several figures in what appear to be powered armor emerge from nearby Radam plants. Green crystals stud their 'armor', and as their large shoulder-plates open up to reveal large crystal lenses, there is no mistaking several squads of Tekkamen. Multiple Vol-Tekka blasts impact against the AT-Fields of the EVA Titans as they return fire. The Tib-Tekkamen split up, some taking to the air, others making great leaps. Most manage to avoid the Titan-fire, and the armored vehicles and troops of New Chaos surge forward, leaving a squadron of EVA-Titans to take care of the resistant Tekkamen. They move deeper along the path only to be ambushed again, and yet again the column leaves some Titans to engage the Tekkamen while the rest move forward.


And some extra rolls before VP-99's fate is revealed.

>>22061165
No, don't risk the Storm then.
Just get it mounted and operational.

Rolled 12, 24 = 36

>>22061385
VP-99 attempts to move around the New Chaos fighting to get a view from another angle. Separating from Tosh, the droid floats over the ground and at a rapid pace begins to move north. He manages to pick up and send back a few more images of the fighting, including some valuable troop counts as his droid brain and sensors manage to pick out the fact that the column has 80 EVA-Titans total, and appears to be leaving six at each stop so far.

Suddenly his transmission sputters and stops, the droid managing to send back an alert that something was hacking into its systems. The attempt is stopped after a few moments, VP-99 regaining full control of its systems just as the very edge of a stray Vol-Tekka blast melts away some of his left side. His sensors going wild for a moment, VP-99 detects a Tib-Tekkaman emerging from a Radam pod a few hundred feet away.

The UEFA calls to state that the Nadesico is almost to your position for your joint strike.

>>22061385

>>22061566
Escape VP! Escape with the escaping fury of the sun!

>>22061566
VP did the hacking attempt feel like a turtle?

>>22061568
From continued observation, Tosh can relay that they can, but a single Vol-Tekka isn't enough to down an EVA-Titan. Essentially it's a slugging match between the durability of the Titan's armor and regenerative capabilities and the ability of the Tib-Tekkaman to evade the much larger guns of the Titan with its speed and agility. The Tib-Tekkamen seem to be able to tank one or two hits from an EVA-Titan's weapons before being destroyed, but their ability to avoid damage is far greater than their larger foes. The EVA-Titans almost never manage to evade the attacks of the Tib-Tekkamen, but there's a lot more armor to break through.

>>22061566

The Tib-Tekkamen hurls a spear of glittering crystal which impales itself through VP-99's chassis, causing heavy damage but failing to destroy the droid. The machine retains just enough functionality to locate a nearby hole in the ground and fall into it. Apparently an abandoned sewer system, the flow of run-off water and not-so nice things carries VP-99 away from the fighting, barely functional.

Well, then that's what we're going to do. Make sure that our Hornet Squadrons clear the path of AA for us.

>>22063095
Prepare for that. MG and Kiryu are to be deployed to deal with pinning the Eva-Titans down for the Relentless to pound into dust with a (relatively) point-blank turbolaser salvo. We're also gonna need to crack those APCs open.

And before anyone goes on about AT Fields > turbolaser batteries; you gotta keep in mind that they're literal teratons of energy that can be fired in rapid succession. At these ranges, they should be able to readily overpower any AT Field due to raw output and rate of fire.

The other stuff should be comparatively easy to deal with. Watch for AA.

Does anyone (Darius and the rest of the KI in particular) have any last-minute thoughts on how to approach this pincer movement?

With your Hornets in front, you begin advancing along the cleared path. The Nadesico begins following in your wake. Do you intend to follow all the way until the center and presumably Kane's base or do you have a different idea in mind?

Whats the nadesico's complement? What will they deploy if they're joining us in the strike?

>>22063266
I believe our intention is to follow them at a safe pace, and let NC and Kane slug it out with each other. Once NC reduces Kane's defenses to about 50%, we roll up behind them and kill the remaining NC forces, then breach Kane's defenses.

Also, can the Storm, AUH, and Tria use their sensors to find the Black Ops base.
The Great Crusade Scout Squadron had ground sonar readings indicating that Black Ops was using burrowing APC's to try to breach Kane's defenses.

Using that sonar data, we should be able to get a general area that the Black Ops have made their base, and where we can concentrate our sensor scans.

What about using the sonar data to get a general area where the Black Ops' NOD base would be set up? We can send an Observer or two to the area to pierce their cloaking field.

>>22063642
Normally, we're not allowed to do this, but these aren't normal times, and I think Emergency War Powers applies here.
Give the Nadesico crew RED-2-GENERIC treatments and EBO Cortical Stack implants. Of course, it's up to them if they want it.

>>22063744

I cannot see any situation where they would react well to the first tbing we do is offer to inject them full of questionabld stuff.

>>22063865
If they want to die, that's their prerogative. I'm just offering an extra life here.
And given how many Tb-Tekkamen and EVA-Titans there are, and we can't provide orbital support, I think they'll need them.

>>22063744
There really isn't time to get everyone into surgery and your offer to give everyone injections to raise them from the dead is met with some resistance.

"Ah... You seem nice and all, but I don't let people we just met stick things into my crew," Yurika says with a nervous laugh. "Besides, there really isn't time."

You can discern that the Black Ops base is located somewhere to the north of Sarajevo, within 50 miles of the Radam Forest.

>>22063910
Eh, that's their choice. Don't come to us for resurrections unless you've got an armful of diamonds, though.

Anyway, have a Protoss Observer fly in very low at treetop level, and begin looking for that Black Ops base.

>>22063910
When that energy shield flickered, were we able to estimate its coverage? How much of Sarajevo is covered by the shield?

>>22063948
Well, we technically have the "Unending Cargo Bay of Diamonds" due to grabbing every diamond we could previous to this. The more pressing detail would be "Do we want to rez these guys when we could be rezzing our own." We did put Free Rezzes on the health care document. We also put "moral based services" but it seems most people didn't read that.

Oh, that reminds me. After we've saved everything and saved the metaverse, we need to have everyone go to a few mandatory meetings on our Health Plan and how it can effect them. I don't want anyone else being pissed off at something that happened to them because they weren't paying attention to the recruitment paperwork.

>>22063988
The entire Radam Forest and a little past it. The New Chaos landing base was on the edge of it, which suggests they landed there because it was the closest place to safely descend through the atmosphere.

>>22063907

Right. You'd trust folks you just met to stick needles and inject unkOwn stuff into you.

Besides, they're heros in custom hero units who retreat when their units get blown up.

Dont underestimate their plot armour.

>>22063948
As with everything else you've ordered, this will take time. An Observer detaches from your squadron and begins flying off.

I take it that in the meantime you are proceeding to follow the path as here?
>>22063359

>>22064039
Yes, with the Hercules continually reinforcing its Hornets with more choppers, and the Scavenger Scarabs stripping recycling centers, junkyards, and scrap yards in our path clean of RU's.

RVF-25 to be flying in the center of the formation with the Relentless, projecting an ECM bubble and using its sensors to help pick up AA emplacements before they activate.

Destroids to be deployed on the Relentless to provide additional fire support.

Make sure that the M-270's are ready to deploy at a moment's notice and fire their Aglaophotis Missiles at the New Chaos force once we make contact.

Indefatigable, prepare to modulate your phaser cannons and arrays with the Proton Phaser Modification in case we need it.

>>22064091
Oh, almost forget.
Indefatigable, have preparations made to be able to remodulate your shield to emit a beta-tachyon pulse, and project a series of anti-proton beams into the resulting shield bubble. That should increase your shield strength by a factor of ten, and let you ride out a supernova.

>>22064039

Char, we'll be counting on you to help our forces and Nadesico's complement to work in concert with each other. You should recognise some of their units and how they fight, right?

>>22064150
"But with the current subspace flux caused by the portal storm, that will risk a gravitic induction chain! We'd be blown apart!"

>>22064091
You begin advancing, stopping only to periodically let the Hercules collect scrap for its resource tank. Your Hornets squadrons move forward, but neither they nor your RVF can detect any AA guns. You are about halfway to the center of the Forest when something breaks through your sensor readings.

"Sir... Superportal going live in Europe! It'll be active in a half hour, tops!"

"Word from the Scout Squadron, the Great Crusade has arrived en masse and are deploying ground forces!"

>>22064305

Oh wow. Reinforcements.

Patch us in to the Great Crusade Task Force, relayed through the scout squadron.

>GC forces
Try to route a communication channel through a Protoss Observer to get through to them.

>>22064305
Open a channel to Admiral Veleth.
"Admiral, we're glad to see you were able to send us some reinforcements! Unfortunately, the situation has escalated to a far more serious scale, and we are now quickly running out of time. If we fail...the damage would be beyond anyone's power to fix."

>>22064305
Inform the Earth commander guy that some friendlies have arrived. Meanwhile, I want constant sensor sweeps over the whole area. I'm expecting so many Tib-Tekkamen ambushes right now.

Keep an eye out for nasty surprises. This is clearly a trap of some sort.

>>22064369
Someone, close distance and make visual-range contact. For the love of Desna, make sure your Task Force 38 designator's on.

>>22064376

What appears to be the problem? Jamming?

We still are able to speak with the scout squadron so have them land with the GC Task Force and we'll talk through the scout squadron communicators.

"ANOTHER Invader? It's a Monday, isn't it?" the Admiral sighs. "Well, I'll gather together what I can and send them that way."

You dispatch a Protoss Observer to attempt contact and await word.

"Another message from the Scout Squadron! New Chaos ships in great number have arrived and engaged the Great Crusade fleet. Void Engineers have opened fire on both fleets, and... Sir, we've lost contact with the Scout Squadron!"

"Multiple contacts heading our way sir," one of your other bridge officers reply. "Two groups, one New Chaos, one... shit, are those Splugorth ships? This just gets better and better."

If the spell <Perfect Summons> would work on that Super Portal, get an Abjurer there and cast it on the portal.

http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Perfect_summons

We'll get an army of good coming out of that portal instead.

>>22064477

Not good. Get our VE contacts on the line.

We need to tell them that the GC are friendly forces.

Inform the Admiral of the same, see if he can contact the GC Task Force that it was a case of mistaken friendly fire.

>>22064516
Absolutely. Damnit, can't believe we didn't think to inform the VE that the GC was incoming.

>>22064477

Oh fuck.
Dammit, re-orient our fleet in orbit to face the approaching enemy.

Engineering Team, is the Paradox Cannon online?

Hiigaran Carrier, how are we doing on RU's? Make sure that there's 2 Defense Frigates each for the Oncoming Storm, AUH, Guardian, yourself, the Hiigaran Battlecruiser, and Tassadar's Command Carrier.

Open a channel to Captain Cruz.
"Cruz! You've got to tell your counterparts in the VE fleet to stop shooting at the Great Crusade! They've got bigger problems to worry about, like the Splugorth fleet that just arrived, and the Combine that's about to come through a super-portal over Europe!"

>>22064487
I love that spell.
>>22064477
I assume we've lost contact with the Void Engineers?
Why the fuck are they shooting at the Crusade ships.
Maybe they know better than us?

>>22064531
We did, but Cruz said that he couldn't contact his command structure, and that they were on a hair trigger and unlikely to listen.

>>22064541
I'm thinking because the Grand Crusade just showed up and the Void Engineers are having Com problems and just open fired at the "invaders" that just appeared.

Could magical attempts at communication work where science has failed?

>>22064605
I have a funny feeling the portal storm is going to interfere. See: Fumbles getting possessed.

>>22064571
>>22064605

We may need to get the ball rolling and stop Kane before this starts getting real ugly. All of this stuff is just a distraction.

>>22064641
Indeed. See: title of the thread.

>>22064641
That's a good point.
I guess we can negotiate a ceasefire later.

>>22064533
In addition to these preparations, we should tell the Nadesico that we need to increase our speed.

Have the Relentless and the rest of the task force with it increase speed.

ANON, what's our current estimated time for contact with the rear elements of the New Chaos armored column?

Also, have the Al'Kesh that was with Tosh pick him up and rendezvous with the task force.

>>22064516
It has become evident that the disruptions have become bad enough that you're having difficulty even contacting Captain Cruz in Antarctica. You manage to pass off the message to a UEFA relay station who sends it off to Admiral Misumaru though.

>>22064533
"Paradox Cannon online and ready, sir."

"We're not as well stocked as we'd like, but we can manage. Producing frigates now."

Tria, unlock weapons control. Be ready to use your Ancient Drones against the Splugorth ships. Keep an eye on their energy levels, and make sure to recover and recharge them before they become depleted.
Oncoming Storm, target New Chaos ships exclusively, as the Paradox Cannon is perfect for destroying them.

With that, several Radam plants along the sides of the burnt path bloom open, spilling forth four squads of Tiberium Tekkamen, with Vol-Tekkas already charged!

However, this appears to mainly be a screen. Two of the four squads pool their firepower and direct it at the Hercules. The Relentless moves to shield the smaller vessel with itself and manages to absorb a few blasts this way, but it isn't enough. Voltekka after Voltekka slams into the vessel, burning through the hull in several places until the gravitic drive aboard it begins to fail, the ship slowly plummeting to Earth.

Mecha-Godzilla, Hiryu, all your mechs are launching as Cheryl and your psychics attempt to panic, control, or drive insane the Tiberium Tekkamen.

The SY-3 Squadrons have far better luck, strafing runs with laser batteries and bombardment volleys with missiles battering the Tekkamen badly. A few return fire with Voltekka, but these mostly miss and the few that hit don't manage to shoot down the SY-3s, though the damage is notable.

Taking advantage of the damage wrought by the SY-3s, your Abjurers focus their spells and manage to destroy a handful of Tekkamen that get blasted into their range, blasting them apart before they can fire on the Relentless.

The Stasis Fields manage to catch a full half of the attacking Tekkamen in them, severely affecting the enemy's power output.

The Tekkamen get off one last salvo of VolTekka blasts before being forced to switch to melee weapons, drawing various razor-sharp hand-weapons made of pure Tiberium and soaring into the fight. Unfortunately, that last salvo manages to hull the second Arbiter in your fleet, causing it to explode in small maelstrom of psychic power. The flights of Carrier Interceptors exact a bloody revenge for their fellows' death, though, photon blasters slowly whittling down the layers of bio-crystal armor on the Tekkamen. The Relentless too, manages to score a few kills, mainly on those Tekkamen still land-bound. Huge craters are blasted into the earth as the turbolasers hit home.

Circus after Itano Circus of missiles from the VFs pound the area, the flying Tekkamen pulling off amazing aerial acrobatics or just plain cutting the missiles apart with their hand-weapons in order to avoid them. Only a few fall to the attack, but it does distract them from a larger threat. Literally.

Several Tekkamen are incinerated at once by a sweep from Kiryu's oral maser cannon, another group of four melting away under MechaGodzilla's eyebeams. The mecha-kaiju hiss and roar in triumph as their enemies fall.

"This speed... No, I'll take care of it," Char mumbles as the Gaia Gear launches funnels against a pair of Tekkamen. The two immediately begin dodging and weaving around the energy blasts from the remotes, moving swiftly to cut them apart. Suddenly the remotes pull back and Char is behind them, firing his hand-beams. Unable to dodge in time, one is vaporized, the other turning to charge. landing on Gaia Gear's surface and beginning to cleave into its armor with its Tek Lancer. Char grabs the power-suited menace with a single hand and flings him forward, right into the waiting firing arc of a nearby VF in Battloid mode, a beam cannon burst finishing him off.

Unfortunately several TIEs aren't so agile, and you lose ten D/Cs due to Tekkaman closing in and chopping them up.

The Stasis Fields fall just as Yurika's voice echoes over the comm channels.

"Phase Transition Cannon... FIRE!"

Only half the Tekkamen that had been temporarily imprisoned manage to regain their senses fast enough to fly away. The remaining half get caught in the blast as space is annihilated around them.
