>>45305618
Unit-2, take evasive action and find a new sniping position. CAG, provide covering fire for unit-02 and draw the Angel away from Unit-01.

And get me vitals, visual and audio feed to the Third Child ASAP.

>>45305998
No time. Evacuate Unit 01 to the Geofront via the launch rail system and perform inspection and repair on site. Have CAG and Unit 02 coordinate attacks on the Angel.

>>45305998
Run me a harmonic's diagnostic on that EVA. If that angel tampered with it in any way, it could be much more dangerous to anyone that gets near it than the angel itself.

-whispers under breath- Please just be an equipment malfunction, please just be an equipment malfunction...

Hi Major! I know I'm not supposed to be here, but I couldn't stay back in my shelter doing nothing.

About the Dummy System, we're nowhere near field testing yet... especially with those budget cuts we got. (as if NERV-Vancouver really needed these funds...)

>>45308060

Kid. You seriously think the Geofront is safe? Nowhere is safe with these things out there. They won't stop until everyone are dead and everything is dust. There's nowhere to run. All we can do is put up as much of a fight as we can muster and hope that beating the monstrocity of the week lets the people on this planet have a few more days of everyday life. The safest place for you is the Eva. At least it can protect you with an AT field if an Angel attacks you. The Geofront has fuckall protection.

Just get back into it, boy. We're not playing around. Get back into the fight or we all die.

>>45308060
None of that is going to matter if that Angel gets to the Geofront!

Anna is fighting for her life out there, and she was in a graver state than you are now! Do you think that was fair for her?!

If you really think this is unfair, then try to hit that monster in a tank or VTOL. How do you think they feel right now?!

Stop acting like a damn child!

>>45308060
Take a look at the woman next to you. Take a look at CAG. Half her friends died today, fighting side by side with YOU to defeat that monster. Yet here you are, about to throw it all away.

You think you're alone in this, but the reality is that you WANT to be alone. You don't want to acknowledge the pain and suffering of others, because it makes your own suffering less special. That's all you want, and you know it.

Do as you will. Someone as spineless as you isn't needed by NERV. Unless you intend to prove me wrong, that is.

>>45308139
Then the EVA is useless for the moment if the pilot refuses to cooperate? Great... Thanks for the update, at any rate.

>>45308139

DO IT FOR HER

>>45308060
You see, this here is war. A little unusual kind, but war nevertheless. The thing about war is that everyone has to do their part so we can survive, as a whole. Your part is piloting Eva Unit. And it's not as bad as you say. Yeah, when you get hit by Angel, you hurt. But for everybody else on the ground or in the air, when they get hit they die.
For everybody else, when they abandon their position and give up on their duty, they get shot. You'll be now brought back to fight another day.
This indeed is unfair. And it's about time you started appreciating the favor you've been given and performing appropriately.

>>45308060
Just get in the giant fucking robot suit that provides more protection from attack than the entirety of the base I am in. You are abandoning your duty for a moment of painless survival rather than a displeasure lifetime; that thing will kill you, me and everyone if you don't get back in the suit and fight.

>>45309567
How about an upgrade or research investment tree? So we can invest in improving the capabilities and weapons of our units and defenses?

What are the consequences of not repairing damage to the city?

>>45309567
Gonna be 3 funds short of fixing everything...

So, a full repair to all of our equipment, the Evas, the Vtols, the Tanks, and Temperance, as well as full repairs for Residential-02, Rural-05 and 4 repair towards Rural-01.

>>45309617
Let me answer that for my grumpy sister!

A destroyed district is harder for our troops to deploy and move in. Also when we'll have static defenses they'll get damaged as well.

Also, don't spend it all on repairs if you want to invest in new technologies! I'll go get the documents if you want.

>>45309567
Let's get out residential and rural areas squared away. The populous will need their homes back following the attack. -14 FU Units

Then we focus on allocating 4 units to each EVA, we don't want them falling apart in the next engagement. -8 FU Units

Let's reinstate our VTOLs. +1 ACE, +1 Queen, +3 King, +2 Jack.

Get us some new tanks for the companies. +1 Sword, +2 Club, +2 Cup, +3 Coin.

We can spend the remainder on whatever comes up between the attack.

>>45309668

>>45309668

No. Our job is to protect the citizens, and that means cleaning up our messes.

Obviously the Eva's themselves come first, but after that Full rural repairs. Leave Temperance at 1, and let King be only as repaired as we can afford. Those units will stay home or provide perimeter control, well away from the fighting, next fight.

The people shouldn't have to suffer for our incompetence. This also gives the new King unit a chance to get their legs under them.

>>45309567
Eva units to full condition - 12
VTOLs A,Q,J to full - 7, K stays off the roster
Tanks - merge what's left of Coin into Club (who though it was a good idea to have names on the same letter), Coin stays off the roster, repair the rest. - 7
fix bombers - 2

that puts us at 28,
22 left fix - get Residental 2 and Rural 1 to 5 notches, that's another 5, dump 17 left
dump all of that into research

>>45309799
I'm assuming they are progressive. Also, I was the guy who posted the big finance list, and this is why I said we needed to hold off on repairing everything.

...and finally the bombers. There's also long-terms projects, we'll get to them later.

About the upgrade thing, these will be installed on the UNITs you decide. So you could, say, install a gun upgrade on ACE if you want. You'll need to repurchase the same upgrade if you want KING to have it though. This sucks I know.

>>45309897
Oh...well nevermind then, I thought they applied to all units immediately after purchase.

I think we'll hold off on these until we see all of the projects.

>>45309751

They're both being examined by our medical team.

From what I've seen, David seems to have some serious internal injuries. The bond between a pilot and his EVA UNIT is truly terrifying...

>>45310183

OOC what were the Magi supposed to be in EVA other than powerful supercomputers again?

>>45310282
What about the angel? Are there any pieces of it's body around? Or is it all gone?

>>45310345
Exactly that. Positron technology is something we should be very, very interested in.

>>45309567

Let's get the residential and rural districts squared away. Whatever failure we had today, does not need to suffered by the innocent. 14 FU Units

Focus resource allocation to the EVAs, we'll need them in ready condition before the next attack. 10 FU Units

We're also gonna need some new VTOLs. I feel CAG is going to need them if we're to get another hattrick display from her. +1 ACE, +1 Queen, +3 King, +2 Jack.

Get us some new tanks for the companies as well, we've suffered many losses there. +1 Sword, +2 Club, +2 Cup, +3 Coin.

I suggest that spend the remaining points into the EVA Unit Cradle and smoke shells for the VTOLS.

If we're to get into another situation where an EVA is out of commission or needs swift deployment, I don't want to be caught in it again. Get installed onto the Chariot. 4 FU Units

Also, if we're to maximize the VTOL's capacity for harassment, we'll need those smoke shells in order to provide better cover for the EVA units when they come under attack. 3 FU Units.

Whichever project finishes first, allocate that part of R&D to researching the Dummy System.

I will not have another situation like the one we had today.

I think if we don't bring the VTOLS and tanks to full, and instead invest in an AWACS we will be better of. With these damn abominations knowing is half the battle.

That sounds like it would be nice, so sure. Its important for us to keep morale up, and to have strong comradarie with the men. Good thinking!

Lets invite the CAG and the Tank commander too, if they are not already on the list. They both lost a lot of friends today, and if their spirits should falter our operations will suffer for it. We rely a lot on them in the field.

Just so we're clear, this is the current status for funding.

Repairs for civilian sectors: 14 Units

Repairs to EVAs: 10 Units

Repairs to VTOLs: 11 Units

Repairs to Tanks: 11 Units

AWACs Array for Bomber Unit Chariot: 4 Units

That's all 50 of our units. Is this fine with everyone?

>>45310908
Sounds good to me.

+1

>>45310908
Switch one from tanks to VTOL and we should be good.

Also, tomorrow we're taking Daniel for a walk. We'll start in the outskirts, and take a nice stroll through the damaged areas all the way to downtown, where we'll stop at the hospital and show him the human cost of failure. Then we can wax poetic about child soldiers being illegal, but how a war crimes trial requires a world left to host it.
You know, stuff right out of Colonel Anderson's playbook.

>>45311042

He's got a responsibility to us, but I think we often forget that the pilots aren't really mature enough for it. And I don't think any amount of simulated combat is going to change that.

Well fair enough. He's already experienced more than most adults, David deserves his rest just as much as any of us.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest that all non-essential personnel are to be given a minimum of 24 hours R&R, and essential personnel should be rotated out on a shift by shift basis to allow everyone a minimum of a day off each.

>>45311497
I don't care about today. That angle is dead. But there will be others. Will you run then, or can I trust you?

>>45311497
'Sorry' won't bring them back. But you can keep more people from suffering. I understand how hard this is for you. A child doesn't belong in a war machine, and if I could take your place I would.

But I can't. You're the only one with the power to make such a difference. Think of that when you falter. It's okay to be afraid. But you can't let fear control you. Make the choice to fight, and you can keep this from ever happening again.

>>45311497
Medical Officer: Thank you. Do not worry, I think the time for shouting is well past us.

Third Child: Honestly, I think I should be apologizing to you David.

They told me what happened to your pod inside of the EVA. I thought the original scans for your vitals were faulty, but now that I see you here like this I can't help but feel awful over the way I treated you.

I know that fighting is never going to become normal for any of you. Sure you can get better at it, but I doubt it will ever become something you will want to do. And in my rashness to complete the mission, I snapped.

Anna is fine, and while the CAG and CGT are damaged, they are still alive. I know that we all make mistakes in our lives, but at the same time we need to recognize our mistakes in order to make sure something like this doesn't happen again.

David, I'm not gonna act like you didn't mess up, because you did. But know that at least standing up for what you did was better than doing nothing. If anything, talking back was braver than I think I gave you credit for. Just, please don't be afraid of what's not been attempted yet.

David, I won't say I can fully understand what you had to experience today. The Angels are outside of any kind of training, preparedness or even more than our most basic understanding.
But you need to know, in the fight for all of us, our entire race, everyone must do his part. You have the ability to do something that none of the bridge crew, none of the soldiers fighting beside you, less than a handful of people in the world can do, you can fight the Angels on their scale, on your terms. I need to know that if push comes to shove and everything is on the line, will you do your part and help all of humanity survive?

Missed the whole thread, but I might as well post this idea:

Better simulation training. A big problem with the children is they don't get a whole lot of experience in their Evas and when they do it's usually against an Angel they've already fought that's kinda dumb.

We should have something more random that will prep them for being able to adapt to whatever bullshit comes their way, not just Sachiel clones.

Furthermore, we could develop a more game-like simulation designed not around fighting an angel, but being used to their Eva. They need to exercise, basically. The idea I had was basketball, but the simulation can be based around any physical activity and it's secondary purpose is stress relief.

It's pretty hard to fight in a giant robot if you can't do some basic acrobatics in them. Silly, yes, but it's just a simulation and nobody really sees it other than the pilot and the guy who programs it.

David needs to get comfortable in his Eva and Anna needs to loosen up, so just shooting some hoops in a computer simulation of a giant robot might do the trick.

If their only experience of Eva is combat, then David's gonna freak out and Anna will continue to be utterly mission oriented, probably limiting her creativity.

Who knows, maybe we need to slam dunk a core some time?

>>45315260
It's okay QM I sexually identify as close-in air support anyways do think that we should follow CAG's suggestion as air support seems more reliable than children in giant bio-robo suits.

Yes and no, I assume that Nerv has more than enough parts to play with after Angel attack. But in the future there's surely going to be missions like Magma Diver where you'll need to secure an angel embryo or something. Also if during an attack you all specify to keep the core intact I'll speed up research accordingly.

A lot of time I try to merge what I can but it's proving to be way harder than I thought it would be. Next time I want to at least answer to everyone through NPC chatter. I also need to enforce a voting system for deployment/upgrading.

>I'm glad you didn't put "quest" in this thread's title because this has been really good.

You could have people roll d10s when giving orders. Any conflicting posts just take the one with the highest rolls. Non conflicting orders that everyone seems to agree on can happen regardless of the rolls.

For example, say I order unit 01 to attack, some other guy orders unit 02 to retreat. Both of us also ask for CAG to provide air support during this. Since there's no disagreement on the CAG half of it, that happens either way, but whichever one of us rolled higher d10s would determine whether unit 01 receives the attack or retreat command.

>You could have people roll d10s when giving orders.

Yeah, I think we'll ultimately need to do this, even though I'd like to keep dice rolls to a minimum.

I really liked the schizophrenic nature of everyone giving orders at the same time. And it felt good to resolve conflicting intentions by role playing.

QM, are we only gonna have battles or are also getting slice of life sessions to flesh out some of the other characters?

Personally, I think we dodged a bullet with David's character in the medical center, but I really don't want to see gim become Shinji 2.0

I don't know. It was fun making the small bar debrief scene but making a whole thread about slice of life style npc interactions seems boring to me.

I could see out-of-EVA missions but IMHO I think that shit needs to go down to validate making a thread about it.

>>45323150
then some small pre/after battle sideshows or slice of life things?
mostly to make less stress command time all the time

>>45314537
Oh shit an ARG

>>45324592
Yeah I could see this work.

Maybe next time we could do ''The Major has to go to the next town to pick up the Fourth Child, but then unexpected stuff happens''?

We need some bios for all these characters

>>45325416
that be nice, fluff the setting and the characters a bit

>>45325471
I don't know. I kind of like the blunt in your face approach the story has going on. We got thrust right into things with the first thread with no background detail or fluff at all, yet it all just clicked and made sense.

I like the "show, don't tell" approach that's being taken. Feels like it might cheapen things a bit if there's a ton of background info available.

DEEPEST LORE

When is the next session ? I missed this one and want to be ready next time.

>>45325625
I think that's more because the QM intended this to be a one off.

If he couldn't hook us in with a good premise from the start, then there would be no reason for anyone to look at his quest.

>>45325416
Though I do like this approach, since it does give us a bit more fluff in the way of character presentation.

>>45322009
As someone who recently did a quest and failed hard at it, you're doing a perfect job.

>>45326506
This

>>45326506
Thursday maybe? I usually start the thread at 16:00.

>>45325625
>>45326699
It's also worth saying that I'm way better at drawing things than writing about them. So the bulk of these threads will always be about the immediate actions instead of infodumps.

I guess this is why it feels more direct, in a way.

>>45327039
>thursday

I thought it was Monday, but that's even better. See you then boss.

>>45315593
Oh, and to add to this, maybe get our conventional forces in on the simulations. We should develop an Eva-Conventional combined arms doctrine and get everyone well practiced in it.

>>45327039
16:00 at which timezone?

>>45322760
Embrace the schizophrenia, have each poster's order represent a personality fracture in the Major, and the roll to determine how dominant they are.
I promise I won't rp as a wolverine personality

your wasting your talent here, bro.

>>45327100
I'd prefer if dice rolls were made only for action stuff, not to determine who have a voice vs. who doesn't.

>>45327105
I'm having fun. I'm not wasting anything.

TACO BELL MAN

>everyone is John

no.

Keep the rolls to the action, guy. If anon's can't make up their mind, pick whichever result appeals to you because you are running the show. Reward creativity and good roleplay.

>>45315427
It looks like it stretches out more towards the right... like maybe you can pogressively scale it down from left to right?
