RULES AND STATS: http://pastebin.com/5q9fPFjz

You are KARLA WEISS, a Belkan fighter pilot looking to carve your own place in the skies!

"So, as you've all probably figured by now, we've received a covert job request from the Belkan Security Ministry." Samantha coughs as you and your squadron assemble. You also see Wolf and his team present, sitting across the aisle from your group. You see Samantha's eyes dart left and right to gauge your reactions, and when she sees a lack of shock or surprise, decides to continue. "As you know, the situation in Belka has been growing increasingly unstable in light of that proposed Belka and Osea economic treaty. The conservatives and nationalists are all flooding out of the woodwork, and you can bet OB is among them."

"Does this mean we'll be operating in Belkan territory?" Lilian raises her hand, concern in her voice.

"Not exactly." Samantha shakes her head and points to the holomap. "Belkan Security has found three large camps just outside the Belkan border, hidden in the edge of B7R."

The map zooms in, show three large clusters of red dots spaced apart, placed a relative stones throw from the blue line marking the Belkan border.

"It's believed that these three camps are being used by OB to personnel and weapons into Belka to instigate unrest and rebellion." Sam continues. "Naturally, due to still active Belkan War peace treaty, Belka is forbidden from sending military forces outside its own borders, and asking Osea for help might escalate tensions, which is where we come in."

"So this is going to be a deniable op?" Lara frowns.

"That's right. For security reasons, that means all identifying marks and insignias will be removed from your planes for this mission." Samantha nods. "The idea is to swoop in at night, hit all three camps, and then bug out. Hopefully that will curtail whatever OB is planning in Belka."

"So where do we figure in this?" Wolf speaks up, still leaning back in his seat, feet propped up on the chair in front of him. "Last I checked, our team doesn't do bombing raids."

"You team will be on standby in case something happens." Samantha answers. "The Wild Cards will handle the actual attack."

"What's the expected resistance?" You ask the all important question.

"Nothing you haven't faced before." Samantha points to the map again. "The camps here are freshly set up and only temporary, so there's only light, mobile AA protecting them. However, there's a good chance they'll have air patrols in the area, so you should keep an eye out regardless."

So on the subject of Ace Combat fanfiction, some dude on FF.Net actually managed to get published.

>>41738028
Published? As in Comiket published or Bamco published?
>>
>>41738046
The first one I think? Its actually legit apparently. I looked it up on Amazon.

>>41738021
>>41738013
I'd rather get a Delphinus for Lilian,
a Falken for Lara, and a Night Raven for Amy.

>>41738021
>Ground attack is essentially the cut ground attack version of the Falken from AC5.
>Air sueriority version is essentially the standard with the top laser hard-points refitted into Y-racks for missiles in a sepecat-jaguar style.
>EW version carries a HUGE EW pod on the top.
This a good enough description?
>>
>>41738071
The first one is a doujin convention though. I wonder if Bamco will call him out on that.

>>41738028

"Sounds simple enough." You grumble. "Just swoop in blow shit up like usual."

"That's pretty much it." Samantha nods. "Ideally, we want you returning to base as normal, but if things go south, you are authorized to fly into Belkan airspace if you have to. You'll be given IFF and authorization codes to make sure the Belkan SDAF won't shoot you down on sight, but this is a last resort measure. The entire point of this op is to ensure that nobody knows about Belka's involvement in this, after all."

"Got it." You nod. "And what about Amy?"

"Last I heard from the doctors, Amy is pretty much fit for duty, but they want to keep her under watch for a little while longer. Honestly, it's your call if you want to bring her or not." Samantha shrugs. "Her Warthog is still pretty much trashed, and considering all the work Smokey's bogged down with right now, it's not going to be repaired any time soon, so it's her Super Hornet from here on out."

"Hell yeah, it'll be great to have Amy flying with us again!" Lara grins. "Bet she's trying to not to claw her eyes out from the boredom!"

"Still, I'm not quite sure if she's ready or not..." Lilian says worriedly.

Well, we know from last threads she seems okay, but lets poke her a bit first and see if she really fit to go.

Also talking about Papa Weiss, what happened with the rest of his squadron? If some of them survived and also laying low, maybe we can get them to help us.

"I suppose we can let her come along if she wants." You say. "We should at least make sure she really wants to come."

"Oh, she definitely will be." Lara chuckles.

"Probably." You admit.

"Anyways, this is going to be a night op, so you've got plenty of time to prepare until it's time to go." Samantha says. "Just be sure to report back here by sunset."

"Sure thing." You nod, wondering what to do in the meantime.

You decide now would be a good time to check in on Shiba. After all, he had been wasting away in a prison cell ever since you had shot him down in the defense of the Gyges airship. So far, Samantha hasn't figured out what to do with him yet, and it wasn't like she had the time to do so, anyways. Lilian also seemed to be reluctant to actually visit him.

Maybe it was for the best.

"Hey, Lilian, I was thinking of paying Shiba a visit. God knows he probably needs a visitor by now." You say. "Wanna tag along?"

"Ah, well, I'm not sure if I should..." Lilian frowns.

"NONSENSE!" You laugh as you wrap an arm around her and start dragging her along. "You really should be keeping up with old acquaintances!"

"B-but-" Lilian stammers.

"Ha! Looks like Karla's got her mind set, Lilian!" Lara laughs. "Might as well go along with it!"

"I suppose..." Lilian sighs in defeat.

"Anyways, I'll go give Amy the good news! Lara chortles and waves. "You two have fun!"

Lara then splits off from your small group and she dashes off for the hospital. Meanwhile, you lead Lilian away towards the base's detention center, where Shiba and a few captured OB and Dahl pilots were being held.

"I'm not sure if I can do this..." Lilian mumbles with uncertainty. "It's been, well, years since I've seen him face to face..."

"So it's the perfect opportunity!" You grin.

You enter the detention center, passing by rows of cells where you see a number of glum looking prisoners sitting in their makeshift cells, under the watchful glare of Atlas guards. You make your way down the halls until you reach the room set aside for meeting with prisoners. On the other side of the door, you could see Shiba sitting at a table, his hands clearly handcuffed and chained to the top so they were were clearly visible. His legs were similarly cuffed and chained to the floor to prevent escape. You also noticed that he was pretty damn handsome, too. He had dirty orange/blond hair that was pretty unkempt, but the hardness in his eyes suggested that his will wasn't broken at all by his confinement.

"How about you stay in here and I break the ice for you?" You ask your wingmate.

"Ah, well..." Lilian frowns.

"Too late!" You say as you open the door, but you give her a warning glare. "You better not run off or I WILL FIND YOU."

"I understand." Lilian squeaks.

You then enter the "vistor's room" (really just an interrogation room) and take a seat opposite from Shiba, giving him a hard, criticizing glare. Shiba likewise glares back at you, with the iron determination of an ace.

"So you're the Valkyrie, I presume." Shiba says calmly.

"You could tell?" You raise an eyebrow.

"Just a guess." The captured pilot replies simply. "So what brings you down here?"

"So, I'm just going to go straight to the point." You say, leaning forward on the table. "Lilian."

"What about her?" Shiba frowns, caught off guard.

"You are aware that she's flying for Artemis, and by extension, Atlas, right?" You narrow your eyes.

"Yes I am." Shiba nods.

"And if I remember correctly, she mentioned that you became a merc in the first place because you wanted to impress her or some shit."

"It's a bit more complicated than that..." Shiba tries to assure you.

"Uh huh." You say, clearly not convinced. "So how about this. You knock this shit off. Quit Dahl and tell Lilian how deeply in love with her you are."

"W-what?" Shiba recoils.

"You heard me." You grunt. "Look, I know why you ran off to join Dahl, and really, I honestly don't care. But like hell if I'm going to see one of you shot down, god forbid by each other, so I'm going to head that particular ending off at the pass."

Suddenly, you hear a knocking on the door behind you. You take a quick glance behind you and see Samantha on the other side, motioning for you to come out.

Hm. Might be time to let Lillian in, anyways.

"All right, I'm gonna step out for a bit and let Lilian take over." You announce to your prisoner. "Things better be squared away when I get back! Got it?"

"I can't guarantee anything." Shiba grumbles.

You just point two fingers at your eyes and back to him in the "I'm watching you!" gesture before exiting the room.

"All right, I softened him up a bit for you." You inform Lilian as you step out and start to push her in through the door. "Now finish him off!"

"H-how?!" Lilian stammers.

"I dunno. Get him to propose to you or I guess you can just do it right there in the room. It's soundproofed, after all!"

"B-but there's cameras!"

"All the better! We'll have video proof!" You laugh as you push her in.

Lilian can only manage a distressed whimper before you slam the door shut behind her.

"Do I even want to know?" Samantha frowns.

"Personal squadron business." You shrug. "So what's up?"

"Well, I was about to send these transfer orders in but I guess now that you're here we can talk about it." Samantha shows you the folder she's holding.

"Extradition to Osea..." You mumble as you read the file. "What's this about?"

"Well, as you may know, Shiba here is the son of the current owner of Yamato Airlines." Samantha points out. "Practically one of the largest airlines in the world, and they're offering a VERY large reward for his safe return."

"You're just going to trade him away for money?" You raise an eyebrow.

"Well, we ARE a business, and we're just carrying out our civic duty in returning a runaway boy to his worried family." Samantha shrugs. "And this is coming straight from the top. The only other alternative I have is trading him back to Dahl for captured Atlas or Artemis personnel."

"You know that if we give him back to Dahl, they're just going to put him back into the air, right?" You narrow your eyes.

"Well, that's not Management's problem, unfortunately." Samantha sighs. "Honestly, sending him back to his family is the best call here."

"He can't fly for us?" You ask.

"That's a very, VERY touchy situation." Samantha frowns. "Despite our differences, PMCs like us have an unspoken agreement not to poach personnel, especially captured ones. If we try to turn him, that could expose Artemis to a lot of heat..."

Well, there was only one way to settle this. You swiftly spin around, open the door, and step back into the room. You seem to be interrupting something as Lilian's and Shiba's hands are clasped together, as both best can manage through his cuffs. Both of their faces immediately go red as they quickly let go of each other. Normally, you'd poke fun at them over it, but there were more pressing matters to worry about.

"Shiba, it looks like you're in a bit of a bind." You grunt.

"What kind of bind?" Shiba asks curiously.

"Well, it looks like our company is either going to send you back to your parents, or back to Dahl." You point a thumb to Samantha.

"Oh yeah, make ME the villain here." Samantha rolls her eyes.

"OR, you can opt to fly with us, or quietly 'escape' from your cell." You say. "It's your life on the line, so we're leaving the choice up to you."

Shiba looks at you, then Lilian, and then to Samantha. You can see him running the scenarios his head as he tries to determine the correct course of action.

"I'll go back to my parents." Shiba declares.

"Really?" Lilian clasps Shiba's hands in hers agian. "If you go back, you'll probably never fly in a fighter again."

"Well, I figured that it was the best course of action." Shiba sighs. "This way, I won't be forced to fly against you, and while the chance to fly side by side is tempting, I'll be a target for Dahl, which will put you in danger, too. Besides, I suppose I'm overdue for a visit home, anyways."

"I think you made the right call." You nod approvingly.

Lilian sighs, convinced by your approval.

"If that's what you think is right." She says.

"All right, I'll make the arrangements, then." Samantha nods. "If you two have anything to say, you'd better say it now."

You follow Samantha out of the room, where she quietly closes the door and faces you.

"Well, looks like that little problem solved itself." Samantha sighs. "Shiba goes home, the company gets a nice cash injection, Lilian doesn't have to shoot her own fiance down, everybody wins!"

"You know, I never asked, but how much is the reward for finding Shiba?" You ask, putting your hands on your hips.

"Twenty million." Samantha says matter of factly.

You heart freezes for a moment.

"Ah, wondering if you get a cut, eh?" Samantha grins slyly. "Well, don't worry. Your squadron will get a finder's fee for shooting him down in the first place. Your share will be wired once the transfer is complete."

"Um, thanks?"

"Anyways, I gotta go file this paperwork and get in contact with the proper authorities." Samantha glances at her watch. "You gonna stay here? If not I can drop you off anywhere you want."

You take a quick peek through the window, and see Lilian and Shiba getting all lovey dovey again.

Considering how hard Mama Weiss exhausted Papa Weiss within 1 night and /tg/'s preference of immediately go for the dickings at the first sight of a waifu/husbando, I'm betting Mama Weiss's voracious appetite was passed onto Karla. Mama definitely has a good reason to pack that many.

"Just drop me off at the hospital. I want to pay a visit to Amy, anyways." You say.

"Sure thing." Samantha nods. "Just follow me and-"

"Wait, just a second!" You say, reaching into your pocket and pulling out a few packet of condoms.

"Why the hell are you carrying those around?!" Samantha asks, bewildered.

"Hello, PILOT?" You roll your eyes as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "Never hurts to be prepared, you know?"

"I suppose..." Samantha frowns, blushing slightly.

You then crack the door open and toss the packets in, scattering them all over the table.

"Just in case!" You cackle.

"KARLA, YOU-!"

You never hear what Lilian says, as you slam the door shut and sprint out of the building, Samantha trailing behind you with an exasperated look on her face.

"Why am I not surprised at this?!" She groans.

"Just get in and drive!" You say, jumping into Samantha's parked jeep.

Samantha drives you over to the base hospital and drops you off.

"Don't start shit, okay?" She sighs. "You still got a mission tonight, so be careful!"

"Right, right." You nod as you wave to her and enter the hospital. You make your way to Amy's room, where you find her just getting dressed in her regular flightsuit.

"Hey! Just in time!" Lara smiles. "Looks like Amy's ready for action!"

"I can see." You grin. "Nice to have you back, Amy."

"Feels good to be back!" Amy nods. "All the cuts have closed up and my chest doesn't ache anymore! Can't wait to get back in the Hog!"

"Um, about that...." You frown. "The Hog is still out of commission..."

"Actually!" Lara butts in. "Smokey says he might be able to do a rush job on the Hog, but he'd have to put off work on the Morgan to do it!"

"Oh no, you don't have to do anything like that!" Amy gasps. "I mean, I still got the Super Hornet, after all!"

"Yeah, that's kinda why we pestered her into buying that Super Hornet in the first place." You grin. "As long as she keep up and not get shot down again."

"That was a total fluke." Amy says defensively.

"Sure, sure." You nod. "And Lara told you that this was going to be a night mission. You fine with that?"

"What, you think I'm scared of that dark?" Amy boasts. "It'll just make all the explosions look even cooler!"

"Nah, you guys go on ahead." You wave them off. "I'm gonna stop by Quint's for a bit. See if I can unload some cash."

"Yeah, well, make sure not to give that greedy son of a bitch too much of your money." Amy grunts. "I'm still pretty sure he gouged me on that Hornet."

"Now now, Amy, I'm sure he was just being a proper businessman." Lara tries to assure her.

"Proper businessman my ass." Amy mutters.

"Haha, don't worry, I'll be careful." You chuckle.

You part ways with Lara and Amy and head to the temporary "shop" Quint has set up. As always, Quint eyes your approach with a sort of subdued glee. After all, you're one of his best customers.

"Ah! Karla! Nice to see you here again!" He smiles as he wrings his hands together like the stereotypical greedy businessman he is. "Are you here to purchase anything today?"

You check your phone again to confirm the transfer of $50,000 into your account, payment from your last mission.

Is it time?

>>41742673
Because we are upgrading the aircraft so that it has a role after we get the Morgan.

The Morgan cannot provide AtG, with these upgrades the F-15 will be VERY useful to keep around until we buy a more advanced ground attack aircraft, although we may be able to avoid replacing it by getting the silent eagle upgrade and upgrading the electronics.
>>
Also, I'm just hoping, but if we are done with repairing and rearming the morgan, I want to fully upgrade the eagle. Just as a memento while we are curbstomping with the morgan.
>>
>>41742705
Speaking of which, can't we just fully upgrade the eagle right now? Grabbing stealth, AtG system and FAEB just costs us 50000.
>>
>>41742721
The eagle will still have it's uses friend. The Morgan cannot into AtG.

That is only a few people though. I personally would love to take the Eagle out for one last battle before we sent it back for reserve fighter duty.

Okay, so the most requested purchases seem to be the SOD, XLAA, and Slam Eagle upgrades, which would total to exactly $50,000! Are you sure about these purchases?

We are gonna raid 3 bases, and this gives me the willies. I really want to grab the stealth upgrade along with the AtG upgrade for survivability.

Not likely as Sam said it wouldn't come in until the transfer was finished. and IIRC Shiba's still here.

Merc, Can you cross out the upgrades that we've already purchased? I see some of them we've already purchased but you haven't marked the (SOLD OUT) sign on them.

Did you not read what Sam said?

We'll get our cut when its all processed, so not for a while.

That would be very helpful

Never enough upgrades. Like dakka, you can never have enough upgrades. we need MOAR UPGRADES. Upgrade it to the point where it's completely unrecognizable from it's stock counterpart. Add more wings, more thrusters, add COFFIN technology. Incorporate neuro-tech bodysuit technology. EVERYTHING.
>>
>>41742841
That's not as plausable as we can't replay old missions to grind money like one could in the games.

"Thank you for your patronage!" Quint smiles as he arranges the transfer of funds, undoubtedly his favorite part of any deal. "I hope you come again!"

"Yeah, sure." You nod, a bit deflated at your once again empty wallet. However, getting those new weapons would be a good investment in the future.

Well, with your purchases done, it was time to get moving. Maybe back to the hangar? You check your watch and the sky and notice that the sun was starting to get rather low. You maybe had time for one more detour...

You decide to stop by to check on the Butterflies before you head to your hangar. After all, you heard that Dawn has finally bee cleared for duty, and their fighters had been repaired. It would do some good to visit them before going off on mission.

"KARLAAAAA!" The four girls squeal as they all tackle you.

"Agh! Careful, girls!" You laugh, teetering dangerously backwards as you try to accommodate all of the sudden extra weight. "You're gonna hurt someone someday if you keep doing that!"

"S-sorry!" Lightning apologizes.

"Nah! She totally likes it!" Thunder boasts.

"Where are the others?" Echo asks, looking around. "Is it just you?"

"The others are uh... busy." You explain vaguely.

"Aw, that sucks!" Dawn sighs. "We wanted to show them our new planes!"

"New planes?" You raise an eyebrow.

"Upgrades, technically." Echo clarifies.

"That's right!" Lightning nods rapidly. "Our Nosferatus received a bunch of upgrades!"

"Really now?" You whistle what kind of upgrades?"

"We'll show you!" The Butterflies say cheerfully as they drag you along into their hangar.

Inside, you can see their four Nosferatus lined up side by side. However, instead of the nice, sleek shapes they used to be, you notice that all four of them had additional added on gear. Two had what seemed to be a large glass dome mounted on the spine and the belly of the craft. The other two seemed to have antennas and transmitters attached all over.

"What am I looking at here?" You blink.

"Top secret, experimental Atlas technology, of course!" Dawn puffs with pride.

"Um... are you really sure you should be showing me all this?" You raise an eyebrow. "I'm not gonna get shot by a sniper rifle the moment I step out of this hangar, right?"

"Don't be silly! You're our friend!" Thunder assures you.

"W-we won't let anything happen to you!" Lightning adds in.

"Hm, okay." You say warily. The Butterflies might be okay with this but you wonder if Irons would be. "What exactly do those upgrades do?"

"Well, the glass dome ones you see there are an advancement on the Tactical Laser System, expected to provide full 360 degree coverage rather than forward facing only." Echo says. "Can fire in short bursts or a continuous beam."

"The only bad thing is that it makes the fighters look sooooo un-ace-like!" Dawn pouts.

"The antennas you see on the other two craft are extra sensor and ECM pods." Echo continues, ignoring her wingmate's complaining. "Provides increased network and detection capability, can jam enemy sensors and communications, and can even act as a control system for drones."

You guys are basically asking to equip our squadrons with Macross-tier FAST packs. While they do provide a significant defensive boost, they are a pain on the maneuvering aspect. I am sure you will reconsider.
>>
>>41743141
"That all sounds really cool." You whistle. "I'd hate to be the person who'd have to fly against that kind of firepower."

"I know, right?" Dawn giggles.

"Anyways, I have to be going." You say as you check you watch. "You girl stay out of trouble!"

"Bye!" The girls chime as you leave.

You head over to your own hangar now, where Lara and Amy are putting on the final loadouts on their planes. You see Smokey making last minute adjustments on your Eagle as his team packs in the extra avionics and targeting systems to improve its ground attack capability.

"Ah! Karla! About damn time you got here!" Smokey grunts. "Come on! We need to get these ready to fly within the hour!"

"Where's Lilian?" You ask, looking around.

"No fucking clue." Smokey spits. "But that's besides the point. We need to get your weapons loaded on, so figure it out quick!

>You currently have 4AAMs, QAAMs, XLAA, Unguided Bombs, Cluster Bombs, Napalm, and SOD. Choose 2 to bring!

Dammit, why didn't we raided the security room!

Because we might choose to bring XLAAs and 4AAMs for MAX FIREPOWER.

Like standard missiles+4AAMs + 6AAMs.

>>41743288
>they are a pain on the maneuvering aspect
Have you seen how powerful our Eagles engines are? How effective the ACTIVE suite is? Because your full of shit.

>>41743335
Couldn't we just double load XLAA's then?
>>
>>41743335
>>41743338
The only reason we can load two specials is because we have the strike eagle upgrade.
It provides an extra AIR TO GROUND special slot. So you can't do that.

I wish we could go Cluster and SOD, but with the enemy being OB, they've probably got some advanced air cover.
