Okay, I can lose to Stardust with no regrets.

>>32660154
Yup.

Zeon didn't fuck around.

>>32660130
Everyone knew someone who was killed during those first seven days, and you're no exception. Several of your classmates were killed when a Zaku smashed into your school building back on Londenion: luckily for you, you'd decided to spend that day playing hookey. Your older brother, a volunteer firefighter, wasn't so fortunate. He was killed when a second downed Zaku's grenade cooked off as his fire crew responded to its crash-landing. The fact that he died in the line of duty while you escaped due to being such a troublemaker is probably the reason you're here: it drove you to always go further and be better. Because after all, you're doing it for the both of you now.

Currently, you're aboard a transport shuttle heading for Earth. Next to you is Sergeant Hollinger, the young woman assigned to see that you arrive at your new posting in good order. After a long trip from the Lunar city of Von Braun, where your last assignment was, you find yourself drifting off to sleep as she chats at you about wherever city it is you're headed to.

You begin to dream.

Barely 16 when the war broke out, the Earth Federation military refused you at first. But as the war dragged on the brass decided they had a use for you after all, and you found yourself behind the controls of a mobile suit as a rookie pilot: really, at that point you were all rookies. Unlike the Principality of Zeon, the Earth Federation didn't even have mobile suits before the war broke out, and it had no experienced pilots. But unlike the vast majority of the rest, you proved to have a knack for it as well as the drive to capitalize on it. It took you a week to bag five victories, and another two weeks to make ten. By then, you had a fresh batch of rookies to replace the rest of your team, and they started calling you an “ace”.

>>32660289
By October of UC 0079, the newest batch of replacements stood in awe at your tally of 53 ½ victories, as well as the high-performance GM Sniper-II you were assigned by the EFF in recognition of your skill. You almost felt like you were invincible: a "young master", some of the older officers called you.

But it was the end of the war that would bring you the most fame, or perhaps “infamy”, and would see the awakening of your Newtype potential. It was at the battle of...

A 'Side' is not a single colony. It's a colony cluster at a Lagrange point.

>Zeon forces used the depopulated colony cylinder Side 2, Bunch 8 Island Iffish in an attempt to destroy the Earth Federation Forces main headquarters, Jaburo. Though the Earth Federation Space Forces dispatched a fleet of their surviving warships in an attempt to stop the operation, the Zeon military successfully defended the colony and the EFSF was forced to withdraw after taking near total losses. Upon entering the atmosphere, however, Isle Iffish broke apart, missing Jaburo but causing widespread destruction across Earth. The largest remaining piece of the colony, consisting of approximately the entire front half, hit Sydney, Australia, completely wiping out the city and causing massive damage across the entire continent. Operation British was a complete failure.
I think you misunderstood my post, but there was only one colony dropped. The rest of Side 5 was depopulated for not following Zabis. Outside of Side 3, no one really wanted to follow them.

Then Zeon sympathizers spread across the colonies after 0079.

>>32660820
Yeah, the Qubeley is in UC, but it won't be made for some 4-5 years.

>>32660631
A Baoa Qu: a massive space fortress at the far side of the L2 Lagrangian point, and the last line of defense for the Principality of Zeon's forces. At this point in the war, it didn't look like Zeek had much fight left in him. As you roll over in your sleep, your dream shows it to you like you were there again.

It all went sideways before you even realized what had happened. One moment you were moving out with your team of novice GM pilots, telling Ramirez to get the fuck back in formation: the next, nothing made sense. You were told later that the Zeon forces fired some sort of solar-powered raygun at the Federation fleet. You were also told that both General Revil as well as Degwin Zabi were apparently killed in the blast. But at the time, all you knew was that your Salamis was gone, your team had been scattered or killed, and the whole area had been turned into a debris field so full of Minovsky particles that the notion of getting help or communicating with the rest of the fleet was pure fantasy.

And to make matters worse, you saw four black machines headed straight towards you: three Rick Doms, and something that looked like a Gelgoog.

That was when you:

Yeah, something about that fourth machine had you spooked alright, so you dropped your machine's visor and got a better look. What you saw made the bottom of your stomach drop out.

You'd heard of this pilot before: the "Black Star of Zeon". There were plenty of stories to go with the name: dozens of victories through the war attributed to it, along with some more erratic behavior. Rumor had it that this ace pilot would track down their kills and return the plot's personal effects to the nearest EFF base whenever possible, or even recover wounded pilots and inform the EFF of their status. It got to the point that when a lone black machine on a Dodai flew over your position, most veterans knew not to shoot at it under an unspoken understanding.

But now, you were facing the Black Star of Zeon in combat: alone, and hopelessly outgunned. In that moment, you were

In retrospect, there was a small thrill there. The feeling of going into a fight vastly outgunned excited you more than it frightened you. But the prevailing feeling was one of calm: you were focused, and ready to make that your last stand.

Strangely enough, the attackers hesitated for a moment as they spotted you at fairly close range. You had a moment to act, and you

The name is really more of a holdover from the fact that it's derived from a sniper unit. The GM Sniper II is an all-round machine that just happens to have better optics than most. We should still take out the Rick Doms first, though.

As an aside, our protagonist is named Dominic. Did he wind up getting fed up with puns about "Dom"? Was his wingman named Rick?

>>32661971
Yes, and? It's ostensibly a sniper, true, but the Sniper II is capable in any combat role. It's the best non-Gundam suit the Federation would make until the Titans took over. Better acceleration, armor, sensors, weapons...Sure, those are good for sniping, but they're good for every other role, too.

>Following the success of the high-performance (but equally costly) RGM-79SC GM Sniper Custom, the Earth Federation Forces commission a new sniper-use GM to be built during the last weeks of the One Year War. Due to the tight one-month deadline for designing and first rollout, only a handful of the new RGM-79SP GM Sniper II are seen in the last few days of the war, with some assigned aboard the assault carrier Gray Phantom (both of which are destroyed during a battle inside the Side 6 Libot Colony) and the White Dingo team in Australia. The GM Sniper II is based on the in-development RGM-79G GM Command, and is the most powerful GM variant built during the war. Featuring special targeting sensors in a "face guard" visor for its standard sensors, the GM Sniper II can be equipped with a beam rifle or 90mm machine gun for close-quarters combat, or a long-range, projectile-firing rifle for sniper missions.

It's still ostensibly roled as a sniper, just a mass-production hi-mo variant

Your first shot with the beam rifle was a clean miss, wasting one of your precious 15 rounds entirely. Your second shot, however, was a hit: the armor around one of the Rick Doms' chests vaporized under the intense heat of the beam. You recall wincing for a moment as a strange sensation of pain flooded your head.

The other suits snapped out of inaction, with the remaining Rick Doms lobbing bazooka rounds in your general direction. Neither even came close enough to warrant using your vulcan pods to shoot them down, however, and you had to fight back the urge to laugh.

The Black Star proved to be a much better shot, however, peppering your machine with beam rounds. The strange design of the weapon seemed to decrease the power of each shot, but made for a much higher rate of fire. Nothing seemed too badly damaged, and you managed to turn your shield towards the Gelgoog to absorb some of the damage, though it's now all but useless as a result. You recall practically feeling the ace pilot's curiosity at how you survived that fierce an attack. There was, however, a fuel pressure warning on your left leg thrusters.

The action was yours again. The Zeon suits were now much closer, complicating your choices.

>>32662526
One of your old instructors had a saying: if things look grim, charge. It confuses the hell out of people.

Ejecting the half-slagged shield, which at that point was nothing more than dead weight, and tossing your beam rifle forward, you pushed your machine as hard as you could towards the two Rick Doms. You could feel the oscillation as your thrusters strained to keep up with the demand, and you could hear the fuel warning indicator beeping loudly in your helmet. Then as you approached the stunned Rick Dom pilots, you drew your beam sabers from the back skirt, holding each in a reverse grip. It was simply quicker that way, you had always reasoned.

Your left blade went wild, only managing to take off the arm of the first Rick Dom... heh, you disarmed him. With a quick touch of thrust that made your machine groan under the strain, you slammed your right beam saber straight through the back of the second Rick Dom, impaling the cockpit.

The surviving Rick Dom fired its scattering chest gun, but it wasn't pointing at you, so thankfully your sensors weren't blinded by the maneuver. The Gelgoog pilot backed off sharply, in a maneuver you could tell even back then that your own machine couldn't handle, firing as she did so. In a stroke of luck, the sheer acceleration of the sudden movement spoiled her aim, and her shots fall below you.

Fuel running short, and with the last Rick Dom turning to face you with a grenade in its hand, you had to act quickly. You:

The beam rifle you tossed earlier was still making its way toward you: a lovely little gift you'd sent yourself for just such an occasion. Ignoring the Rick Dom, you focused on retrieving the weapon, and managed to grab a hold of it in your right hand. Your beam saber abandoned in the chest of the suit you ruined seconds before, you took aim at the black Gelgoog...

... and a chunk of debris floated in your way as you hit the firing stud.

By the time you could see what happened, the black suit had already moved, and the Rick Dom to your side had primed its grenade. Unfortunately for the pilot, the damage you did to his machine must have rattled him, since he fumbled the grenade.

The resulting blast ripped open his machine's cockpit, and killed him nearly instantly. As you were still at close quarters, the blast also thrashed your own GM Sniper. The fuel situation now critical, you felt the thrusters on your machine gutter out, and the main reactor powered down for safety.

Half your systems were overheated, fuel pressure in the mains had dropped to zero, and there was just enough reserve power for the head camera, emergency lighting, and some of the comm equipment: useless as it was at the moment.

Racking your brain for what to do, you decided to

Technical Objection, minovsky reactor and fuel/propellant are two entirely different things, a freshly charged reactor will run for weeks unless that thrashing from the grenade severed some critical torso piping injectant into the reaction chamber was punctured, in which case, that puncture is venting hydrogen into the area and will detonate spectacularly if exposed to a catalyst, like oxygen from our venting cockpit

Technical answer: the fuel lines are damaged, the cockpit is not venting, and the reactor is NOT freshly charged at this point, but has been used to charge the weapons, and the roll earlier? The one that was a 3?

That was for your cooling system. Damage to that triggered a fail-safe for the reactor, which if not shut down would have likely vaporized the machine had the cooling system continued to vent. A 1 on that roll would have been unrecoverable damage to the cooling system.

>Seriously.

This, you remember, was where things started to get out of hand. You briefly entertained the notion of popping your hatch and stealing the Gelgoog, but you had to laugh at the idea when you remembered that you had no idea where the Black Star even was. Which was a problem.

You looked for her, checking the remaining screens for any signs of movement. You even felt as if you were reaching out with your mind to find her, which made you laugh again at the ridiculousness of the situation. You felt that she was out there... strangely, you even felt two of her. Another burst of laughter, as you tested your thrusters one by one, finding that at best you could maneuver with half of your verniers if you shut the lines to your main thrusters. Fighting with verniers only: now THAT was funny.

But then, you recalled the worst feeling you've ever experienced: as you stretched your senses, your mind was overwhelmed with the screams and prayers and bargaining of the dying soldiers around you. Federation, Zeon, didn't matter. None of them wanted to die, and so many died pleading with all manner of gods and mythical figures to spare their insignificant lives. And you laughed at the futility of it all, the sound ringing harsh in your own ears for what seemed like an eternity, until a female voice snapped your attention back to reality.

"Get a hold of yourself, dammit!"

Well, it seemed like you managed to find the Black Star... she had initiated a contact link with your suit by touching the cockpit hatch with her machine's hand.

"So we were right," she continued, "you really were emerging as a Newtype."
>Wait, "we"?
>Why haven't you killed me yet?

"Is that what you call this? Seems a bit insulting to Zum Deikun's memory to use his philosophy's terms like that, but hey, you're the Zeek. I don't feel any more enlightened, though."

It's not unreasonable that our character might know the principles of Zeon's Contolism philosophy. And it would be so fun to try and nip the "psychic=Newtype" idea in the bud right now. We won't succeed, but maybe we can at least change opinion a little.

>>32664246

>Why haven't you killed me yet?
>Wait, "we"?

>>32664246
The first words out of your mouth were, predictably, the first ones to come to your head.

"Why haven't you killed me yet?"

There was a brief pause from the Black Star. "It wouldn't accomplish anything," she replied. "It wouldn't bring back my wingmates who you killed, or Ramirez, who sort of killed himself. It would just be one more death on my hands: same as if you killed me. Utterly pointless."

You swore that you could actually feel genuine remorse there: it wasn't what you'd expected to be sure, and it would still stand out years later.

"Also, why does it feel like there are two of you?"

The Black Star chuckled to herself. "Now THAT is an interesting question. The answer, though, is... complicated. And I fear there simply isn't enough time to discuss it here."

"Alright. Shall we exchange names and email addresses so we can talk about it later, then? Speaking of names, isn't there a group of aces called the Black Tri-Stars? You ever get people confusing you with them? I hear Johnny Ridden and Char Aznable get that a lot, and they just use the same color scheme."

>>32664948
if we ever meet Char or Quattro, we should call him Johnny

>>32664971
Oh, definitely. I've wanted to do that in a quest for ages. It's just so appropriate. Johnny's technically the better ace, too. He's got a higher kill count, and he does it without any Newtype abilities. Let's give him the accolades he deserves."

>>32664971
And if he corrects us we should call him a fraud and demand he apologize.

>>32664780
"Why? Are we running out of oxygen or something?"

"Slowly, yes," she replied. In retrospect, she had a fair point. "Mostly it's that while I knew Zeon was losing the war, I get the feeling that now my side has finally lost... maybe that's a good thing."

"So then what do we do now? My suit is basically out of commission, so unless you're planning to capture me I'll need to get back to my own lines somehow."

The Black Star pondered the point for a moment. "I can give you a push: a hard burn at full acceleration should help you close distance with what's left of your fleet."

Come with us. She said it herself, Zeon's lost. And from what we've heard of the Black Star, she's always fought honorably and avoided committing atrocities. She should receive fair treatment. Why not surrender?

Don't sweat it.

A thought crossed your mind.

"You could just come with me, you know."

Receiving no reply other than the bewildering sense that an argument was being held somewhere, you continued to try and rationalize the thought. "I mean, a lot of our side's heard of you, and you seem to have fallen out of love with Zeon anyway from the way you're talking about it. So why don't you just come with me?"

"We..."
>18
"... I guess we could live with that," she replied, before her voice suddenly took on a harsher, more aggressive tone. "But you realize we're trusting you here. If you turn on us, or if you start turning into the kind of oppressive bastard the Zabis painted you Feddie types as, the ride's over, and it's your ass that's gonna get burned. Got it?"

Suddenly, again, you hear what feels like a more controlled voice. "Sorry about that, we're a bit... well, my sister is slower to trust than I am. Since we were never properly introduced, my name is Carya Marseille."

The second voice returns momentarily. "And I'm Catrina. And yes, I'm really her sister. And no, I don't like talking about it. If you want details, but Carya about it."

It took you a full three seconds or so to fully process what had just happened. So there really were two of them? You'd normally have had trouble believing that, had you not felt the difference between when each supposed "personality" was speaking.

The shuttle's PA system rouses you from your fitful rest, but you knew how things played out from there anyway: not according to plan. It was stupid to think that you could have made a clean getaway. Things were never that simple.

"You... you didn't hear any of that, did you sir?" Sergeant Hollinger asks you nervously.

You shake your head wearily before checking your watch. "Not the last hour or so, no."

Hollinger sighs, and seems to visibly deflate upon learning that you hadn't been listening to her for practically the whole flight. "Now I'm gonna have to do the whole briefing again... I hate briefings..."

It feels like the situation demands an explanation: you don't need your newtype senses to tell you that.

Also;
Newtype mechanical abilities work as follows: each newtype has one "hidden ability" and one active ability. The latter is a permanent bonus in one area of combat that can be improved over time.

Sergeant Hollinger's apparent frustration quickly melts into mild concern. "I didn't know that, sir. Sorry."

"Are you feeling a bit better?" she finally asks as you feel the jolt of a hard landing.

"I'm fine, Hollinger," you reassure her. "I'm a soldier, after all. I'm used to taking sleep when I get it."

The two of you sit in silence as the pilot of the shuttle announces that you'll be sitting on the tarmac for a few minutes while the tow vehicle hooks up to you. Then, as you begin to roll into your gate, Hollinger finally speaks again.

"Did you at least have a nice dream?"

"Not really," you admit. "It was about as nice as a dream about A Baoa Qu can get, though."

Hollinger shudders involuntarily at the notion. "That was where you found out you were a newtype, right Commander? I can't even imagine what that must have been like."

"It was a laugh." The Seargeant looks flummoxed, so you add; "that was a joke, Hollinger. You know... because of that nickname? The one I asked you not to use?"

"The 'Devil's Jester'?" she asks after some hesitation. "Right..."

You shake your head. "Fine, so it wasn't that funny, but you could at least humor me. Don't make me order you to laugh."

Hollinger finally starts to realize that you aren't serious, and relaxes a bit. "Sorry, Commander. I guess I just expected you to be a bit more intimidating, so I got myself worked up."

If you need help I can archive this for you King.

>>32667108
Intimidating? We're twenty, twenty-one at most. I'd expect Dominic to be too baby-faced to be intimidating. Did we acquire any impressive scars during the war?

>>32667199
>I just expected you to be a bit more intimidating

We're a OYW Vet, a Newtype, and our nickname is "The 'Devil's Jester".

After hearing that you'd probably expect to meet someone like Yazan or at least Jonny Ridden when he's mad.

>>32667108
Your meager possessions, including spare uniform, clothes, civvies, and a few sparse personal effects fit into one overhead bag: albeit a colossal one. Since the flight was damn near empty, the airline was fine with you dragging it onboard. Getting it back off again proved a bit more of a challenge, as your superior newtype reflexes can't quite keep you from getting it snagged on every other row of seats. Which they put too close together to save money, of course. The more things change...

Walking up the ramp, you and the Sergeant step out into the terminal, where a familiar face greets you: blonde hair a fair bit longer than regulation, that black leather jacket she's worn for as long as you've known her, and those eyes that seem to shift colors from blue to red as she speaks. Or rather, as 'they' speak.

"You look tired," Carya comments with a casual salute, which you respond to slowly due to having a bag that takes both hands and a shoulder to carry.

"So, did you get a briefing on the plane, Dom?"

"He slept through it," Hollinger replies, putting on an air of testiness.

"Well then," Carya muses. "That will just make revealing the EFF's big secret that much more exciting."

"It's a mobile suit."

Both women pause to stare at you, but you simply shrug.

"That's all the EFF ever gets me."

>Part 1 Concluded
>Questions/Comments are invited as I remind myself how the fuck archiving works

>>32667258
I guess. Why do we laugh so much, anyway? Has Dom received counseling for that? Because that's not a normal response to feeling millions of voices crying out in terror and then being suddenly silenced.

>>32667305
So Dominic's been through this before, then? Has he been pulling test pilot duties since the war or something like that?

>>32667199
Dominic is currently 19: same age as Kou Uraki, protagonist of Stardust Memory, and already a veteran Newtype with 56 mobile suit kills to his name (Ramirez only counted as a half victory, since he technically blew himself up), and has been promoted twice: once after A Baoa Qu, and once upon receiving his orders to go to Earth for some manner of secret project.

Plus, Carya and Catrina weren't the only ones to hear you laughing to yourself: brainwaves aren't stopped by Minovsky dispersion.

Newtype mind fuckery probably has something to do with our laughing attacks. I vaguely recall Quess having something similar

>>32667307
Don't know why but Tomino always seemed to correlate terror/shock/insanity with manic laughter.

>>32667362
Did we take part in the rest of A Boa Qu after the events in our flashback? Just curious

>>32667362
Oh, I missed that. It's right there at the top of the thread, isn't it? Silly me. Makes sense, since you said we were "barely 16" when the war started, and that was January 3 according to the official timeline. I guess we have a birthday in December.

>>32667382
That's easy, there are two reasons for that,

1. People actually do that sometimes

2. It has very strong visible and audible cues and is very evocative

number 2 explains why more subtle forms of showing mental disturbances are't used more, as well. He's stretching the truth a bit to make his shows more entertaining, it's very common.

So, I'm sure it will be revealed next thread, but who wants to place bets on what our mobile suit is going to be? The Federation made a few neat suits in between the OYW and Operation Stardust, when they were still toying around with what mobile suit technology would become. Personally I'm hoping for either the Netix or the GT-FOUR

>>32667362

So Carya and Catrina managed to defect?

They're on our unit now?

>>32667390
Nope. Your suit was recorded as 65% damaged, and by the time you and the Black Star worked your way back to the fighting and convinced a Salamis captain not to shoot you both, the battle was all but over anyway.

>>32667382
A temporary bout of insanity is what it was.

>>32667365
>>32667307
Sorry to remind you of Quess, but the insanity laughter was a one-time thing that simply left your character with an undeserved reputation to shake.

Or embrace. It could help to have people think you're a crazy motherfucker. Your call.

December 7th, as it happens.

The archived thread is up on sup/tg/. Feel free to vote for that.

>>32667345
It'll come up next weekend, but he was testing captured Zeon machines with Carya and Catrina. The two of them were sent on an earlier flight to Earth while Dominic was finishing some paperwork.

Next thread at the same time this coming Saturday. Expect your new machines at that point.

>>32667527
I just thought of something: We have the "Devil's Jester" reputation because of the laughing fit. But the only way for other people to hear that was by psychowaves. There were a fair number of Newtypes at A Baoa Qu, but not so many as to spread the reputation like that. Oldtypes had to have heard that, too. Hell of an outburst, that. Man, imagine how terrifying that must have been. Just this insanely loud psychic voice resounding throughout the battlefield, laughing hysterically as all around you your friends are dying. Kind of makes you wonder how we avoided the same fate as Amuro. He got locked up because the Federation was afraid of his abilities. Why weren't we?

>>32667671
Who says you're not "locked up" in a different way? Amuro was under house arrest, but the Feds are putting Dominic to work under close observation.

You fall neatly into the category of "assets that are too useful to get rid of, but too dangerous to let free".

>>32667760
Same with the "sisters", I guess?

>>32667760
Fucking Feddies

>>32667849
Pretty much, though they chose not to reveal that they were effectively two souls in one body. That likely would have been a one-way ticket to some "Research Institute".

>>32667878
Indeed. In a lot of ways they're every bit as bad as Zeon. In some regards they're actually worse.

>>32668084

Are we running with Unicorn events in the timeline?

>>32668105
We're about 13 years before Unicorn happened.

>>32668105
Keen to open the Box, are we?

>>32668130

And yet if the event occured, we're currently in the golden age of the Vist Foundation's power.

>>32668141

Not exactly but they're running about, you can be sure they'll stick their fingers into everything.

We're about one year younger than Yazan.
And he was 27 at the beginning of Zeta.
