Due to a Wild Anon pointing out a rules discrepancy, I've made a Detailed Rules Page for the Fate / D20 system I'm using. See Image. That'll tell you more than you wanted to know.

Basic rules still apply (Grey Box): Roll d20: Highest dice roll out of the first three rolls is used for the Dice Check (DC), while all three rolls are averaged to determine other internal factors, if applicable. Natural 20’s and Critical Failures (1) supersede all other rolls made.

Roll d100: d100’s are used for different factors, the most applicable of which will be listed at the call for the roll. High is always better.

Rolling for Time: When asked to roll for time, the first roll response will be used, with additional rolls used as necessary. This is the only time low rolls are desired.

Current NTP Tally:
Bright Noah now has 3.5 NTP!
Char Aznable now has 2 NTP!
Amuro Ray now has 2.5 NTP!

Gihren Zabi now has .5 NTP!
Garma Zabi now has 1 NTP!
Kycillia Zabi now has .5 NTP!

Bright Noah awoke, a bit groggy from his interrupted sleep, stretched and pushed off to the head.

A brief shower brought him back to 80% of full alert status. Continuing his morning ablutions, he put in his contacts and checked his hair (this ship was going to give him grey’s, he just knew it). Satisfied all was in order, Bright proceeded to dress and head down to the bridge.

He entered, and set his feet down on the floor, his shoe magnets connecting with a soft clack, and he walked to his station. Which had a cup of coffee on the desk.

He paused, eyed the cup – it was a strangely shaped affair, like a teardrop or an airplane’s wing cross-section, and completely transparent. The liquid was merrily staying inside this container, balled up in the larger section.

He eyed the woman floating upside down above his desk, sipping coffee from a similar cup. “Good morning, Captain,” Jane said, letting her pad free to float as she offered a salute. She took her pad back and gestured with the cup. “Coffee?”

He shrugged, strode forward, and took the cup by the back. He watched Jane for a moment, as he was far more familiar with the standard ‘Coffee Pouch’ with built in straw than this tear-drop affair. She smirked at him and exaggerated her sipping motion.

Bright tried it. The coffe was pleasantly hot, and tasted damn good. “Well,” he said presently, “This is quite good. Feel free to make me coffee anytime you feel like, Major Conty.”

She dipped her head in acknowledgement, said “I’m glad you enjoy it,” and continued perusing the data on her pad.

The coffee in hand, Bright Noah considered what was to be done this day.

>Last time, there was some argument on which ship to repair for the False Flag Op, the Magellan Battleship or the Salamis Light Cruiser. Opinion was mostly swaying towards the Salamis, but I’d like to lock it in today with a definitive answer.

Also, this new link states it needs access to be ranted to peruse it, so I sent in a request.

>>22697197

begin with a report on the status of derelicts and repairs. Begin the automated Zudah tests (just the two slightly modified ones, then the ones with the vernier modifications, Then the super Zudah)
in regards to Pamila's punishment, once the automated tests are completed, tell her that she has the HONOR of being the FIRST PILOT to fly the ZUDAH.

>>22697358
it was the original version that got deleted by some friends last night... the new link is based on the version you sent me. i did add last thread to it though, so it should be up to date now. Also, i just altered access to anyone with link AND i have sent you a presant via e-mail. hope you enjoy it XD

>>22697197
Fix that Samamis!
We can take what is necessary from the battleship, and notify Zeon command of it's location after we squirrel it away.
A battleship can still be very useful, especially after we change security codes and repair it. Paintjobs and cosmetic alterations, as well as using it for a base defense rather then patrols or attacks means the battleship will still get use whle milimizing risk of friendly fire.

It is all made up on a document detailing the use of small salvage teams being sent here, if only to save a ship or three and what MS they can. (Each found Zaku can have a memorial marking on it signifying its previous pilots sacrifice to Zeon, which honors the current pilot, or not.)
>>
>>22697673
Wow. I really like that idea of Loum memorial markings. Or maybe a special paint job, exclusive to the Loum salvaged units. Ash grey, perhaps. If someone wants to lend a hand and design the Loum memorial markings and / or paint job, by all means feel free to do so.

Search Google for 'Mark Simmons Line Art' for some very clean black and white re-draws of Gundam MS.

>>22697673

this is a brilliant idea. though i would suggest using them for infiltration missions or sabotage. the kind of mission that does not actively involve large scale space combat.

“Status report,” Bright said, then sipped his coffee – it really was good coffee.

Reports sounded off from the on duty crew. Sensors were in the clear, showing nothing on immediate intercept trajectory, and the sensor technician was tracking a few objects with erratic orbits which came close to the underside of the Siegfried’s hull. Upon asking how close, the reply was one hundred meters.

Communications had detected no unidentified signals for the past sixteen hours, which was unsurprising considering the density of the Loum Shoal Field would scatter any radio waves coming in from outside the field, and also scatter any going out from the field in short order. The shipboard mechanics working on the Salamis were using a laser link communications array, taking no chances for stray signals regardless.

The reports on the repairs were promising. Several sections of the Magellan’s undamaged engine nacelles were apparently usable for the Salamis as-is, and with the Ball unit Sergeant Councilman had found, they had begun removing the damaged Salamis engine nacelles and slotting in the sections taken from the Magellan. An optimistic report stated 28 hours left until the Salamis was repaired enough to move under her own power. A few more hours afterwards, and it was believed the ship would have no trouble achieving fleet speed. The hull was still trashed, some large holes punched through and through, but repairs utilizing the Magellan’s armor had brought total hull integrity up to 72%. Several areas, including the bridge, crew quarters, and storage had air pressure, and efforts were being made to patch all holes via fiberglass ‘birdlime’ and spot patching, where the holes were too large for birdlime to seal.

All in all, things were looking good.
>>
>>22697948
Jane handed him her pad, and on it was a summation of last night’s near miss with PFC Pheonix and Sergeant Councilman. Bright read the report, noted the black box recordings clearly showed disobedience to a direct order to stay in formation and report to the ship, and also showed no sign on PFC Pheonix’s part to alert Sergeant Councilman of the incoming fire she herself so deftly avoided.

Bright sighed. Rookies were usually cocky and arrogant, and rather full of themselves. This Pamila Pheonix, however, felt… different, somehow. His gut was saying to tread careful, as if she were some kind of predator that might turn and attack if provoked.

Predator or not, she was still beholden to the chain of command. And if beating her with it was necessary to put the point across, then so be it.

While he had the pad in hand, Bright opened a new document and quickly tapped out a note, asking Jane to write up a report detailing the Magellan’s location, and to do so for the location of any future salvageable derelicts, and send it to ZIRCON or Solomon via Pezun as soon as they were free of the Shoal Field.

He passed the data pad back, set his empty cup down, and headed to the Pilot’s ready room.

after listening to her excuses/explanation;
"You will be assigned as the First Zudah Test Pilot. While testing it, think about why warning fellow pilots of danger is important"
make sure NOT to tell her about the Zudah's explosive attitude. That will be the lesson.

Bright entered the ready room, and found it occupied by Pheonix, Councilman, Hatzenbuehler, Tavolacci, Handwerker, and Seabrooke.

The pilot’s snapped to attention, saluting, with PFC Pheonix looking resigned.

Bright returned the salute, then waived them down, “At ease. Pheonix, a word.”

The young woman nodded, and followed Bright into the hall and the adjoining locker room attached to the Zaku hangar, where the pilot’s normal suits were kept. He eyed her for a long moment, and her blue and green eyes met his gaze unflinchingly. Finally, Bright asked her, "Care to explain why you disobeyed a direct order, PFC Pheonix?”

“Sir, I was following orders to look for useful salvage. I saw something and immediately directed my attention and suit towards it to further identify the debris,” she stated, her voice carrying a steady, confident tone.

“You failed to follow protocol, and broke formation without notifying your commanding officer,” Bright clarified, “Why?”

“Using my best judgment at the time, I felt it best to identify the object quickly, sir, in case it was of value. It did turn out to be a battleship that could be salvaged, sir.”

“So, you feel that your choice to ignore proper protocol was justified, due to your find,” he said. In reply, She said nothing. Bright continued, “Furthermore, you failed to warn Sergeant Councilman of incoming fire, which your suit blocked his view of. Why did you not call a warning to him? I’ve received the report, and looked over the footage – you reacted almost instantaneously to the danger. Had Kareem not been following you as closely, or managed to move clear at the last instant, I would be short a pilot and a Zaku two.”

She looked frustrated. “Permission to speak freely, sir?” Bright nodded his assent, and she continued, “I did not see the incoming fire, sir, before I reacted to it. I sensed it. And I moved. When I did see it, Sergeant Councilman was already in danger, and doing his best to get out of danger, sir.” She shrugged. “I had no way of knowing what I had sensed, beyond that it was a danger to me. And I moved in accordance with that. However, I do regret placing the Sergeant in danger, and have agreed to follow proper protocol on these matters in the future.” She was quite a moment, and looked younger than her age as she said, “I do not know what more to do.”

Bright sighed. He had been on the receiving end of these types of questions himself, when he had managed to know, unerringly know, the location of the incoming nuclear warheads. He had ordered the gunners to fire at what they thought to be empty space, and was rewarded by a great conflagration of light as the beams of the ‘Longfellow’s guns had hit those missiles and detonated them prematurely. It had come as a surprise to everyone, save him.

I'll toss out one more hint.

This Type was identified in Zeta, by a Titan.

research thus far yields other enhanced humans titles such as;
Coordinators (SEED)
Innovators (00)
Innovades (00)
Extended Human (SEED)
X-Rounder (AGE)
and
Carbon Human (SEED)


based on my information, i am going to guess with the X-Rounder, mainly due to the enhanced precognition abilities (predicting attacks)

though the chances of Bright knowing this are low...

>>22699641
all i can think of is cyber newtype but i don't think that is the answer

Nope. This is something in the standard UC Timeline.

So, Types she is not: New, Old, Cyber, Enhanced, Moon.

1) Artificial Newtype(Jinkou Newtype)
2) Psychicker(V Gundam)

“Do you understand why you have been accused of being at fault?” Bright asked.

“Yes, sir.”

‘And now for the difficult one’, Bright thought, “Do you swear to follow orders and protocol, and should your perceptions or abilities warn of danger, swear to alert your fellow pilots as soon as you, yourself, perceive a threat?”

She juked back, as if receiving a physical blow, and eyed him. “Sir? To the best of my ability, I so swear it. On my honor and life, sir.”

Bright nodded. “That will have to do, Private. Now, your punishment: I want you to publicly apologize for placing Sergeant Councilman at risk, regardless of purpose, and swear to your fellow pilots that you will do your best at upholding orders, protocol, and warning them of perceived threats – if you can.”

She swallowed, but nodded, saying “I shall, sir.”

“Dismissed,” Bright said, and she turned and exited the room quickly. He followed at a more sedate pace, and entered the ready room to see Pamila on hands and knees, head bowed, in front of Kareem, making her pledge. Bright had no idea how she had managed that position in Zero-G, and Kareem looked to be a bit panicked at the event. Bemusedly, Lourie came over and lifted the younger woman by the back of her shirt, like a kitten, and with one leg hooked under the pool table for leverage, gave her a little shake.

“Just don’t do it again!” she admonished, and Pamila nodded.

“We could use a salvage patrol,” Bright announced. “Volunteers?”

Everyone in the room raised a hand.

>Who do you send out for Salvage Patrol?
>Keeping an eye out for anything in particular?

>The damaged Zaku was repaired by Kareem, with Pamila’s assistance as an earlier apology, by the way.

ARE YOU READY FOR COMBAT?!

Too Bad!

>Plot
Bright selected Lourie, Chance, and Wyatt, and sent them off with a reminder: “Keep an eye out for any more Feddie derelicts, and Balls. Drag any Zaku parts you find back with you, as well!”

They saluted and left to get suited up. Bright made his way to the bridge, where he found a fresh cup of coffee, but no Jane. He picked up the cup and took a sip as his comm. officer reported a successful launch of the three Zaku II’s.

Twenty minutes later, an explosion dragged his attention to the Siegfried’s main window, and he barked “Status!”

“Unknow- wait one,” his comm. officer said, then, “Our Mobile Suits report they are engaged with Balls, sir! Incoming Saberfish fighters!”

“Where?”

His sensor operator chimed, “Eight hundred meters, Four o’clock, Five thirty low, sir!”

Underneath the ship? Shit. “Bring us to a heading of 4 oh by six low, bring main cannons online to support MS!”

“Aye Aye!” was the prompt response from the helmsman.

****
Lourie was the first to spot them, although Chance had the bad luck to be the first shot at.

[14 + 6 = 20]
Chance dodge out of the way and his call of “Incoming!” was on the air the same instant Lourie called “Balls! Eleven by Seven, two hundred out!”

Wyatt followed with “Space fighters, on our six by eleven! Engage?”

Lourie quickly laser commed the Siegfried, reported the situation, and then told the team, “Scatter!”

>>22701269

>>22701269
Every tested mobile suit we still have should scramble. We ourself should stage a fighting retreat. Our MS are superior to the balls, they should be able to get rid of them. While the Siegfried is as far as i know severely lacking in point-defense cannons, so it would be bad to let those fighters come too close to us.

We fall back to the colony and we expose our plans. That's a no go.

Crazy idea: Abort the zudah bay opening mid-way and turn it into a sniper roost to use, primarily using the 135mm cannons and machineguns.(Raise the bay doors, but keep it close to keep the particle shielding against main-battery fire. And thus we have...Zudah BUNKER)

Currently, the only tested MS you have are the Zaku II's. And all three are in the thick of it.

You CAN send out the Zudah's, if you'd like. Dangerous, as they are an unknown factor (read: may explode), but do-able.

IF we use the NTP's on this maneuver, will it then be possible to use it in the future without having to roll for it?

personally i don't think that we should use it as it opens up the interior of the ship to those saberfish, and last i checked, Zudah-bays are highly allergic to enemy munitions....

to be clear, i'm voting No here.
>>
Rolled 6 + 1

>>22701457
WELP. Opening the Zudah Bay doors will block the lower most MP Cannon, cutting the Siegfried's fire in half.

Before you burn the NTP, consider the following:
You could order your other pilots into the Zudah's, and have them Magnetically Clamp onto various portions of the Siegfried's hull.
Say, one on the belly, two on the engine nacelles, and one on the bridge.

Call: 3x NTP BURN.
Considering the above, continue?

>>22701587
1. Yes.

[ZUDAH BUNKER UNLOCKED!]

The Zudah bay can be opened 1/4 way, and the dais raised half, to allow Zudah's equipped with long range weaponry to act as fire support teams, enhancing the Siegfried's volume of fire and, if equipped with 120 mm Machine Guns, act as point defense!

Cons! Can only fire at a 10 degree variance, side to side, and limited to 90 degree angle straight up! Cannot depress! Long distance sniping mode preferred!
>>
>>22701854

another con; Cannot deploy or retrieve Zudahs while in Bunker Mode.
>>
>>22701854
We cover the firing cone issue with crazy ship manuvuers to get the proper ranges.
>>
>>22701892
I thought that was self-evident, due to the doors only opening a quarter the distance necessary. It's just enough room to poke the Zudah's head, and a gun barrel out.

I had three calls for a Fighting Retreat, and five calls for Engage.

I need 3 d20's, gents and possible ladies. For Zaku Combat. I also need 2 d100's, for the Siegfried's main guns.

Next round, we can get the Zudah's in on the rolls.

Bright issued the order for the Zaku team to engage the enemy. He then picked up his phone and called the Pezun Tech’s quarters. Christine answered. “Can we partially open the Zuda bay doors? Bring the dais up enough for them to fire out, without leaving the bay?”

There was a moment of silence, then a hesitant, “Yes… I think so. You’ll be lucky if it doesn’t block the lower MPC, though.”

{NTP BURN – Bright Now Has 4.25 NTP}
“I have a feeling that isn’t going to be a problem,” Bright said, staring out the window to the doors of the Zudah bay.

“If you say so, sir,” the Pezun Technical Sergeant said dubiously.

“Ship has come about to new heading!” the helmsman stated.

“Gunnery! Use the telemetry from the Zaku’s to lock those Saberfish in and bring them down!” Bright ordered. “Zaku’s: Clear line of fire!”

“Aye! Telemetry in, Estimated position locked! Firing!” Reported the gunner.

“Zaku’s are clear!”

The great cannons below tapped the main reactor for power, and the ship fired engines as the Mega-Particle Cannons opened up, four great lances of yellow light flying from the ship to the calculated enemy position.

[73 & 74]
A moment passed, before blossoms of fire lit the void like great fireworks. “Report!”

“Zaku’s report 50% of enemy Saberfish space fighters destroyed!”

“Forty seconds to main cannon recharge!” Called the gunner.

Bright picked up the phone again, this time called the ready room.

“Jean here,” said 2nd Lt. Hatzenbuehler, “We’re in the shit, sir, am I right? You need us in the Zudah’s?

“Jean,” Bright said amicably, “You may be a right royal pain in the ass, but you’ve got it where it counts. I’m going to have the Zudah bay open part way – think you can snipe out of it?”

Jean chuckled. “Sir, I can knock a can off the horn of a Zaku Commander type from a hundred yards – with my pistol. Give me a real weapon, now…”

Bright grinned. He’d lost that bet. “I know full well, Lieutenant. Gran the one thirty fives, and whoever else you think can handle the other two – we have Saberfish off the bow.”

Bright’s answer was a whistle, followed by a click.

[Lourie – 17 + 9 – 1 = 26 to hit, 10 DMG: Ball Destroyed]
[Chance – 6 + 6 – 1 = 11 to hit, 5 DMG: Ball Disabled]
[Wyatt – 10 + 6 -1 = 15 to hit, 5 DMG: Ball Disabled]

“The Zaku’s report all balls on battlefield disabled, sir! Moving to engage Saberfish at long range!” The communications officer announced.

“Sensors! Keep an eye out for new sensor returns! Those fighters had to come from somewhere!” Bright ordered.

“Aye!”

“Telemetry adjustment, one by two!” The sensor’s operator called to the helmsman.

“One by two, aye,” he replied, adjusting the ship.

Bright saw the Zudah Bay doors begin to move at the same moment the gunner spluttered, “Hey! That’s my charge, you bastards! Sir, firing delayed by twenty!”

“Noted, Guns - Fire when ready,” Bright acknowledged.

“Hatzenbuehler, Retersdorf, and Councilman report ready on long guns – Pheonix and Olenius supporting.”

“Tell them they better be using one twenties! I don’t want any bazooka fire down there!” Bright snapped.

“Aye – Restricted to one twentys, sir,” the comm. officer confirmed.

“MPC’s Firing! Zudah’s, damn your eyes!”

[71 Hit, 12 Miss]
Again, the great ship bucked, spilling light into the darkness.

[Lourie 17 + 9 = 26 to DODGE]
[Chance 6 + 6 = 12 to DODGE – 1 Mobility, 1 DMG]
[Wyatt 10 + 6 = 16 to DODGE]

“Abort abort abort!” The comm. officer called, “Guns! Too close!”

“Unlink fire and raise angle by a half degree, all shots!” Called Bright. “We’ll box the fighters in, and Jean will pick them off.”

“Aye,” Grumped the gunner. “Raising by half degree, single shot. Thirty to fire, sir.”

[MARKSMAN – Jean always uses highest roll, regardless of roll order, to hit. Critical Threat range: 18 – 20.]

[Jean *steals* 16 + 6 – 4 = 18 to hit, CRITICAL 15 x2 DMG: Saberfish Destroyed]

The great reveal.

So... if Gym Gingham and Yazan Gable had a Cloned Moon Baby...

Pamila Pheonix is a BEAST.
Yazan Gable is called a Beast by Paptimus Scirocco - and uses it as his title, The Beast.
As far as I am aware, the only other Beast is Gym Gingham, from Turn A.

The hints: I've tried to keep her speech patterns similar to Gym's. Her reactions in pinch situations have been labeled as 'instinct' rather than 'intuition', her dodge of the booby trap put Kareem in the same situation as Yazan put Jamicon, and Lourie treats her like an animal.

Rather a tamed pet now, judging from how much she shrank from Lourie's berating.

Fun fact: Yazan changes his call sign to Vasuki in 0090.

Which is why I said there's be a bonus if you guys could guess it before Bright broke her pride.

Meanwhile, in the Zudah Bay.

Jean tisked into the open mike, and reloaded the 135. Pretty nice gun, but it was made for a different job than the one he was doing. ‘Now, if they could scale down a particle cannon, link it to the ship’s reactor, and let us fire off the hu-‘

Jean didn’t finish the thought as Pamila’s voice called over the comm. “DANGER!” at the same moment Ezra muttered something about her weapon being jammed.

[DC 17 Pass with DOUBLES (18, 18)]

Kareem snapped, “Everybody! Get Down!” at the same moment he used an uppercut on the rear of Ezra’s 135 at a hard upwards angle, forcing it to fly straight through the partially opened Zudah Bay doors.

It entered Jean’s gun camera. The world seemed to slow down as he saw fire lick around the magazine compartment of the huge weapon.

He worked the slide, and took the shot.

The bullet nailed the top of the magazine, forcing it clean off the weapon. It spun for a moment before exploding, sharp pings of fragmented casings and bullets spanged off the hull, and the shields of the Zudah’s in the bay – Pamila and Marylin had crouched on Kareem’s warning, swiveling the Zudah’s mobile shield up to cover the delicate internals of the bay, along with themselves, from the danger.

The weapon slammed into the hull and began skidding off to the side, beyond reach. “One three five overboard! Starboard, get that ball on it pronto!” Jean shouted as he worked the slide again.

Honestly, Beast-types would actually sync more with X-Rounders than Newtype to X-Rounder will.

Note: There ARE people on mars in UC. It was first colonized as a way to mine resources for the colonies - but Mars turned out to have poor mineral resources within easy reach, so it was abandoned... along with the million or two colonists living there.

Anyway, back on topic.

We destroy the Midnight Insertion's cruiser; if we can get their ship registry codes and black box, as well as any identification, we could make our Salamis look like their's, and our cover will be even stronger.

an idea has struck me. If they can manage to get out a distress call, Then we capture/destroy them, We can say that the ship's captain was killed during combat and that we are the only soldiers left on the ship... A PERFECT PLAN!!!

Almost as soon as the helmsman had shouted “New heading set!” an explosion bloomed in the main window.

Jean’s voice shouted “Nailed it! Scratch one Salamis engine block!”

“Good job, Jean!” Bright answered him.

“Zaku team reports last two Saberfish are retreating to the Salamis, requesting permission to pursue?” asked the comm.s officer.

Before bright could answer, the gunner snarled, and fired his weapons, single shot, as ordered.

[74x2, 24x2]
The mega Particle Cannons fired again, staggering left top to right bottom, in an effort to keep the Siegfried’s course steady. The first two shots aimed true, and their course deviation of half a degree placed them inside the Saberfish on their return course, and two more explosions lit the sky. The following shots grazed the Salamis, but did little more than boil her paint.

The gunner gave out a whoop, and called over the comm. to Jean, “And how do you like that, Sapper?”

“I like it plenty fine, thank you,” Jean answered, than asked the comm.s officer for permission to stand down.

what is our stand on executing enemy captives? if we can do that, then we force the enemy captain to send out a emergency message saying that they are being persued by an enemy ship. then after saying that they are being chased, explode the comm system on their ship along with the dear captain. that way, there is a reason he is dead. we insert the infiltration team as the crew of the Midnight Insertion, and 'limp home' with a captured Zudah. the ploy is that we ambushed the ship when it was testing them, captuered one and escaped. however, we had underestimated the enemies combat prescence and lost the majority of our forces in the escape.

A single unit of commandos, even weakened is capable of taking over White Base.

If they have a gundam taking potshots at them the entire time though, even while their on the goddamn ship

Antarctic treaty states all POWs must be treated humanely.

However, Need I Remind You: you happen to have a Magellan who's engine's you salvaged, who's guns are slagged, and who's communications gear was so badly damaged your shipboard mechanics had to get the Pezun techs to help them set up a portable laser comm rig.

You've also instructed Jane to write and submit a report on it's exact location - and she was busy figuring out how to do that while Brights been fighting this entire time.

As far as I can tell, a 'Prison Ship' scenario is an option, here. Well, so long as they actually surrender. If they die in a boarding action, then they aren't prisoner's of war, are they?

Conversely, the EFF Captain might surrender right off the bat, because he knows the Antarctic Treaty stipulations, and knows to be treated 'humanly' would necessitate placing them on your ship, which would follow a disruption of whatever plans brought you to Loum...

A ZIRCON agent could appropriately help us in that regard, as pointing out the usage of a prison battleship. We've salvaged enough food from the two 'saved' ships as well havent we? So what if some of it is glowing.

The issue is, do we leave guards, if anyone aboard besides the POW's? Would it even have enough air?

>>22704927
That would take a single call, and a Zaku to escort the few techs there off the Magellan and back to the Salvaged Salamis.

>>22704957
Your shipboard mechanics have been removing the engines to repair the salvaged Salamis' engines this entire time. The Magellen is down to 1% Engines. Which basically means adjustment verniers - and you can drain those tanks of reaction mass.

The Magellan has a re-entry capsule craft, as does the Salvaged Salamis. You could either ferry them onto the Magellan via these two craft, or tow the Magellan to the captured Salamis to transfer them over via tube.
I assume you'll undock the Magellan's capsule craft ether way, so they can't put their captain on it and have him escape.

Or another method you lads cook up.

You can always transfer the new Salamis' shipboard stores over tot he Prison Ship.

Better yet, do the transfer tube method, and have the prisoners move their own food, air, and water.

To quote Lonestar: "You want this hot air machine? YOU Carry it."

And I'm only offering this advice out of exposition because it's stuff you guys have ready access to via the archives, AND Jane Conty, ZIRCON agent and Professional Monkey Wrangler.

I say slag what is left of the comm gear, drain the tanks, and ferry the crew over with the magellan re-entry craft.

>>22704984
Also hiding our tests would probably be a good idea.

Roll a d100, +25 for Jean's directions to find it with Das Ball.
>>
>>22705048
Right, right.
Assuming that the Feddy Captain surrenders, we bring the Magellan alongside his ship, and have him transfer his crew and supplies over to the prison ship.

finding the cannon?
>>
>>22705110
We found the fuck out of that 135.

>>22705095
This also works.
>>
>>22705048
NOPE.
Smuggled weapons and tools a possibility.
Better to dump there there with what we give them.

Food, changes of clothes, water, air, heaters, and no tools. engine room, comms, and command bridges are welded shut. They only have quarters and whatever else is left.

Oh right, and armories, empty them out, using feddie weapons during our mission to swipe the gundam works best eith all our gear, but im supposing this have already been done.

The head mechanic found the 135! It's only slightly damaged!

While I do believe you're being excessively paranoid, paranoia is also encouraged. They might have Master Chief MacGuyver as their XO. You never know.

Okay, I'm afraid I need to stop it here. My intuition is telling me that continuing at this stage would equal a burn out, like last time.

Good game, everyone! As always, thank you for joining Bright Quest! As there were 4 votes to [X] Request their Surrender, we'll pick up the next thread with doing just that. As Bright is an Officer and a Gentleman.

I now open the thread to questions, comments and criticism!
>>
>>22705198
I'm going to have to agree with this anon. It may be harsh, but we're trying to complete our own covert mission here. Leave no margin for error and all that.

>>22705241
See you next time OP.
>>
>>22705241

two things. 1. Did you enjoy your present?
2. What day might next time be?
>>
>>22705289
1. Much obliged, as always, Faceless. It is rather handy, and should take some of the strain of maintaining the G-Drive version off your shoulders. Hopefully there's a way to lock it down, while still allowing others to view it, so that the previous issue keeps from being such in the future.

2. Weekends, as always. Next week is going to be busy at work, but I'll aim for Saturday / Sunday again.

Now, a question for you guys.
Combat. Good? Bad? Clunky?
Update faster is always going to be an issue. I'm old. And slow. Bear with me please.

>>22705362
Don't forget to go through and check for nat 20s and doubles to tally up NTP

>>22705424
Bright Noah now has 4.75 NTP!
