...Well, let me finish it off, I suppose?

[X] Plan Split Teams
-[X] Londo Bell, Strike, Kyrios, Deathscythe, Shenlong, Nemo Squad, Leo Squad, and Getter Robo on attack
-[X] Remainder remain in defensive position around spring.

I'm a bit iffy on the offensive, I think maybe we should throw in something heavier in there instead of Leo Squad, but honestly I can't think of any other disagreement.

Might just be my personal Bias, I personally consider the Leo to be...basically a GM, and I think that their numbers would be better served fending off enemy units from approaching rather than bringing the fight to enemies that they, potentially, can't do too much damage against.

Maybe that's just because they get absolutely annihilated in their home series, and I don't want to get them all killed should someone decide they need to use Stock Footage.

They are soldiers and I hope the Leos are upgraded enough that they are on the level of at least the Nemo's because those are not bad suits at least when it comes to firepower at this point in the U.C time line. With the Gundams all with them it should be enough to deal with the Haniwa Phantoms.
 
Mostly they're there to pad out the numbers, even if they're mostly just suppressive fire, having too few units, even if they are all heroes, would let them get bypassed on sheer weight of numbers, barring strong MAP

August UE 0083
Spring of Eterna, Cephiro

You are Murrue Ramius, and you've been in way over your head ever since the Archangel was transported to Cephiro along the Nadesico and the Ra Cailum.

At least you know what to shoot at.

"Valiants, Sledgehammers, fire! Keep the magical creatures away from the spring!" You order.

You feel the hull shudder as the ship's railguns and missile tubes bark death at the enemy constructs.

"Ma'am, the Jeeg Team and Build Angels are moving to engage the newly emerged Haniwa Phantoms!" Ensign Buskirk reports.


View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJwhGiXszXI

"Dynamite Kick!" You hear Kenji Kusanagi yell over the Londo Bell freq.

You take a glance at one of the video feeds from the Build Angels to see Steel Jeeg crash into the head of one of the Haniwa Phantoms with a diving kick. It crumbles into pieces from the force of impact, but there are several more around it.

"Kenji, try to drive the Haniwas over to where the rest of the enemies are, we need to buy the Magic Knights as much time as possible!" Tsubaki urges Kenji.

"Got it, Tsubaki. Come on you ugly creeps! Come and get me!" Kenji has Steel Jeeg bang on its own chest like a gorilla to provoke the Haniwas into following it, and leads the rest of them into the utter mess that is the wider battle occurring around the spring.

Chaos roll-do the enemies stay focused on their objectives?
Roll Xd6 for each faction involved, with X being larger proportional to the amount of forces committed to the battle
Larger numbers in general are good as long as no one enemy faction rolls significantly higher than the other enemies or the Solar Vanguard's roll
Solar Vanguard Roll
6d6 + 2
3 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 6 + 3 = 18
18 + 2 = 20
Alcyone Forces Roll
4d6 + 2
2 + 1 + 6 + 3 = 12
12 + 2 = 14
Council Forces Roll
5d6 + 3
5 + 1 + 3 + 4 + 2 = 15
15 + 3 = 18
Haniwa Phantoms Roll
3d6 + 1
4 + 2 + 4 = 10
10 + 1 = 11

Results: The Haniwa Phantoms are annihilated in the crossfire, Alcyone and the Council forces devolve into a battle of attrition after the advance Solar Vanguard force tricks them into charging at each other. Some of Alcyone's forces continue to attack the spring, while the Council leaders turn their attention to the Nadesico

"Charge!" You hear Amuro Ray shout over a squad freq.

Amuro's Gustav Karl, the Zeta Gundam, the ZZ Gundam, Roux's Strike Zeta, Fa's ReZEL, the Strike, the Gundam Kyrios, the Deathscythe and Shenlong Gundams, Getter Robo, and the Nemo and Leo squads charge into the chaos, firing their weapons at anything that doesn't look like it was made in the Earth Sphere. They're joined shortly by Jeeg Team and the Build Angels, having managed to disengage the Haniwa Phantoms and rejoin a friendly group.

Neither Alcyone and her constructs nor the Council forces take kindly to the new interlopers, quickly annihilating the clay creatures that have an odd resemblance to Japanese yokai.

You turn your attention back to the defense of the spring.

"What's the situation?" You ask.

"We seem to be holding the line for now. However, the Tierens are running low on ammunition, and ensign Peries' Tieren Taozi in particular is badly damaged." Natarle reports.

"Take them back onboard for resupply, and then-"

You're interrupted by an urgent report from ensign Argyle.

"Ma'am, one of the Council machines has broken off from the larger battle. It's charging the Nadesico at high speed!"

"Gottfrieds, Helldarts, interceptive fire!" You order.

The Archangel's primary beam cannons fire first, four emerald beams lancing out in an attempt to deter what you now recognize at what's been designated as the Graffiti Robot. The enemy Super Robot jukes out of the way of the beams with an agility that belies its size. It then proceeds to soak the follow-up volley of Helldart missiles while posing like an old-school tokusatsu villain with nary a scratch on its armor.

"Shit, fire, fire!" The leader of the GN-X squadron yells.

GN-X squad vs Graffiti Robot

vs
Mobility DC 13 = 7 Ability + 6 Mobility
Roll 1d10 + 10 Ability
Roll 3
3 + 10 = 13

Result: GN-X squad does no damage, Graffiti Robot destroys one GN-X in response

The GN-Xs split into two groups of three and charge at the Graffiti Robot from two different angles, firing their GN beam rifles at it. The Graffiti Robot slouches as the red beam rounds scatter harmlessly against some kind of energy barrier it has. Realizing what is likely to happen next, the GN-Xs disperse in different directions, but it's a second too late as the Graffiti Robot ignites its wrist-mounted energy blades and charges at the closest mobile suit. The GN-X in question is in the middle of drawing its beam saber when both of its arms are hacked off at the shoulders, followed by the legs, before the Graffiti Robot kicks what's left into the air and slices the Tau Drive, causing it to explode.

"Hollands!" One of the GN-X pilots yells in dismay.

You are Stella Loussier, and right now, you only see red.

"You heartless bastard!" You yell over an open frequency as you charge at the Graffiti Robot at full throttle.

"Damn it, Graham, you and your people help her!" You hear not-Neo Roanoke order over the squad freq.

Results: The Graffiti Robot takes moderate damage, but is able to destroy one of the Flags in its counterattack. Howard Mason is killed in action.

"DIE!" You yell as you close in on the Graffiti Robot.

You fire a few rounds from the Destiny Gundam's beam rifle and are unsurprised when they splash harmlessly against the enemy Super Robot's energy shield. You unlimber the Destiny Gundam's anti-ship beam sword and bring it down with as much force as your mobile suit can muster. It clashes against the energy shield for a few seconds before actually managing to break through. The pilot of the Graffiti Robot evidently didn't expect this, and is unable to evade in time, only managing to jerk his machine slightly to the side as you carve into the enemy Super Robot's side.

The Graffiti Robot backs off a bit and seems quite peeved as it turns its gaze to you. Its attention is drawn away by the impact of railgun rounds against its energy shield, and you turn to see Graham Aker's Custom Flag and his two wingmen beside him, all in flight mode, firing their weapons at the enemy Super Robot. The Graffiti Robot charges forward, unfolding a hidden beam cannons in its palms as it fires at the Flags. Graham and one of his wingmen are able to evade the ensuing salvo. Ghraham's other wingman is not so fortunate, as a round clips it in the leg. As the pilot tries to regain control, the Graffiti Robot ignites one of its wrist blades and charges forward.

"Captain! Believe in the power of the Flag!"

Those are the last words of Graham's wingman as the Graffiti Robot cuts his mobile suit in half, the pieces falling and exploding in midair.

"HOWARD!" Graham shouts in horror.

The Graffiti Robot turns its attention back toward you. Then you detect an audio transmission coming from it on an open frequency.

"Ah, Variable Phase Shift Armor, a hyper-deuterion engine 3 years ahead of schedule, I should have realized that you're a remnant from our latest conquest. I was wondering how you inferiors had managed to put something like this together during the first war with PLANT." An arrogant, drawling voice taunts you.

"What the hell do you want with us?" You ask venomously.

"To conquer your reality, of course." This transmission comes from the Super Robot that resembles an armored knight as it sidles up next to its compatriot. "However, we are willing to show some leniency under the current circumstances. Hand over the Fugitive, allow us to kill the Magic Knights and take their Escudo, and we will take you all in as our underlings in our conquest of your dimension."

"Fugitive? What are you talking about?" Captain Noa tries to play dumb.

The pilot of the Knight Robot sighs in exasperation.

"Don't try to play coy with me, I refer to the Super Pilot with the surname of Ayana in your employ. Hand her over for summary execution along with our stolen property, and you shall be spared."

"So you consider her a fugitive even though she hadn't been born yet? You jerks!" Captain Misumaru says indignantly.

"Alas, her lineage doomed her the moment her parents unlocked the secrets of our dimensional travel technology. Among the many sins one can commit against the Council of the Veil, that is among the most unforgivable. Along with, of course, her hijacking the Super Robot she now uses along with its external control components." The Graffiti Robot's pilot says smugly.

"External control-you don't even see the copilots as human?!" Captain Ramius says in a furious tone. Bless her heart.

"A consequence of their escape before they could be completed. Now, would you kindly hand over the Fugitive and her stolen property, or will we have to take them by force? We know they're aboard the Nadesico." The Knight Robot says pompously.

What is your plan of attack?

[ ] "Go to hell!"
-Blindside the Knight Robot and Graffiti Robot with the Nadesico's Gravity Blast and the Archangel's Lohengrin. The Ra Cailum will provide suppressing fire with all available weapons.
-All deployed forces will dogpile these two enemy Super Robots afterwards

[ ] "Can we think about this?"
-Pretend that the ship captains are divided over the topic to stall for time while everyone else gets into position, then attack during an 'argument'.

[ ] Write-in
-Plan name must be a verbal response to the enemy pilots
-Please specify what the ships will do, and what deployed forces will do

A/N: For once I was able to put most of what I envisioned for this chapter in, though I'm not proud of the first part. Anyway, please vote, discuss, and critique!
 
[X] "Go to hell!"

...Can we have just...like, a cutscene shitting on these two?

These guys are hate sinks approaching Embryo. I want them to get absolutely fucking smoked, and fast.

I want everything to go wrong for them.

I want the Scribble Fuck (Graffiti) sat on by Boss Borot, and I want the Squire to be taken out like a chump by a sudden villain interrupt, so that we all forget him in the face of the other guy.

August UE 0083
Spring of Eterna, Cephiro

You are Yurika Misumaru, and for the first time in a long time, you are absolutely furious.

"Go to hell! Gravity Blast, full power! Crush them!" You order.

"Aye, ma'am, firing!" Minato replies.

The Nadesico tilting upward quickly is the only warning the enemy Super Robots have before the ship fires its most powerful weapon. A twin flash of orange off to the side of your vision indicates that the Archangel has fired its Lohengrin positron cannons as well. The Ra Cailum fires all of its beam cannons, missile launchers, and point defense guns at the enemy in a volley of suppressing fire.

Three ships barrage on the Knight Robot and Graffiti Robot
Roll 3d10 + 6 (Yurika's Ability) + 6 (Murrue's Ability) + 8 (Bright's Ability)
vs
Armor DC 18 (Graffiti Robot) = 10 Ability + 8 Armor
Armor DC 21 (Knight Robot) = 10 Ability + 11 Armor
Roll 4, 7, 3
4 + 7 + 3 + 6 + 6 + 8 = 34
Both Super Robot's energy shields activate

Result: Both enemy Super Robots are heavily damaged and only avoid outright destruction due to their energy shields. Their energy shields are disabled for the rest of the current combat.

What ensues would normally be considered morbid, but considering the fact that these people treat Mira and the Rose girls as something less than human, you instead feel an immense sense of catharsis.

The suppressive barrage from the Ra Cailum keeps the enemy Super Robots in place, the mixed volley of beam rounds, missiles, and flak shells mostly being deflected by their energy shields. The energy shields are not enough to completely protect them from the Nadesico's Gravity Blast, as you the barriers flash and visibly falter against the crushing force before giving out entirely. Dents spontaneously form over the hulls of both enemy Super Robots for a few seconds before the Gravity Blast fades. The postiron beams of the Archangel sail forth, and the energy shields of both Super Robots flare into existence again, only to shatter as the beams of antimatter impact them. The Graffiti Robot jukes to the side so that it's not hit by the entirety of the beam, while the Knight Robot throws up a handheld kite shield to block the beam. As the light of the Lohengrin cannons fades, it's visibly clear that both enemy Super Robots are worse off: the Graffiti Robot is spitting fire from holes in its shoulders, and smoking from a massive, glowing gash in its right side, while the Knight Robot tosses aside its kite shield-which is warped and melted from blocking the Lohengrin's positron beam-to reveal that its shield arm is sparking, in addition to smoke coming out between gaps in its armor plating.

"Now's our chance, get them!" Amuro yells.

"On it! Tsubaki, I need the Mach Drill!" Kenji yells.

"Roger! Mach Drill set up, shoot!" Tsubaki calls out.


View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJwhGiXszXI

Steel Jeeg sprints forward as Big Shooter launches a pair of enormous red drills out. Steel Jeeg's arms detach and fall to the ground as it leaps into the air, the drills taking their place.

"I may not know Mira very well, but you bastards have no right to treat her and her copilots like...well, how you're treating them! Eat this!" Kenji yells.

Steel Jeeg ignites thrusters within each drill, charging forward and spearing the Graffiti Robot in the center of mass. The Graffiti Robot attempts to swat Steel Jeeg out of the air, but Kenji is able to dodge and drill a hole through the enemy Super Robot's Torso, emerging out of the other side and turning around for another pass. The Graffiti Robot attempts to dodge to the side, but it's been rendered quite sluggish due its accumulated battle damage, and as a result it's only able to shuffle slowly to the side a bit, allowing Kenji to tear off its right arm with the Mach Drills.

"AHHHHH! You fucking inferiors! You think you can do this to us and get away with it!?" The pilot of the Graffiti Robot bellows in rage over an open frequency.


View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BW0n3qdmYeA

"Shut up! Fall to the blades of justice, more specifically, to the blades of the Ikaruga!" The pilot of the magical blue and gold machine retorts.

The Ikaruga unfolds its extra arms, now brandishing six swords, one in each hand. The Ikaruga blazes toward the Graffiti Robot, hacking at it with a flurry of blows and slicing off a surprising amount of armor plating. The Ikaruga pulls back a bit before diving toward the Graffiti Robot at full throttle, the two swords in its primary arms glowing with what you assume to be magical energy.

"Consider this retribution for destroying the kingdoms of Fremmevira and Kuschperca!" The Ikaruga's pilot yells as his machine rams the Graffiti Robot at high speed.

Graffiti Robot pilot survival roll-DC 9
Roll 9
The enemy pilot survives, albeit badly injured

Right as the Ikaruga makes contact, you see parts of the Graffiti Robot's upper chest blow outward, and a cockpit module of some kind shoots out from it. However, it's not able to clear the resulting explosion in time, and instead of sailing through the air in a clean escape, the Graffiti Robot's cockpit module is slammed into the ground by the ensuing shockwave, and proceeds to bounce quite a few times.

"Yeesh, I lost count after the first five bounces." Jun comments.

"The enemy cockpit module bounced off the ground a total of 15 times." Ruri says.

"Ouch." Minato winces.

You turn your attention toward the Knight Robot, whose pilot is trying to process what just happened. Before it can decide on a course of action, the Zeta Gundam roars toward it in Waverider form.


View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApT4hmDIgec

"You monsters! You're just as bad as the Titans, if not worse!" Kamille yells.

The Zeta Gundam shifts back into mobile suit form, firing its beam rifle and grenade launcher before shifting back into waverider mode, charging full speed toward the Knight Robot while glowing with psychic energy courtesy of the Zeta's Biosensor.

"Disappear, you heartless bastard!" Kamille yells.

Knight Robot pilot survival roll-DC 5
Roll 2
The Knight Robot's pilot is killed in action

Apparently, the Knight Robot's pilot accidentally started broadcasting on an open frequency.

"Damn it, the ejection system isn't working! I'm going to be killed by a newtype? An inferior newtype? I suppose I should be grateful it's not an X-Rounder to do the deed but still, a newtype?"

The pilot's lamentations about the circumstances of his impending death are his last words as the Zeta Gundam rams the upper torso of the Knight Robot, and judging from the scream of pain that echoes across an open frequency, Kamille hit the cockpit. As the Zeta Gundam backs off, the frame of the Knight Robot explodes in several places before falling to the ground.

"Kamille!" Fa exclaims in fright as her ReZEL moves to catch the descending Zeta Gundam, which has shifted back into mobile suit form.

"I'm okay Fa, it's not like the time I killed Scirroco. I'm still here." Kamille reassures Fa.

Before anyone can do anything else, a metallic tentacle snatches up the cockpit module of the Graffiti Robot. The 'mobile suit' abomination evidently saw what happened to its companion machines. A compartment on the enemy machine's side opens before and drops a canister on the ground. It explodes in a mixture of smoke and some kind of sensor-baffling chaff, as Ruri reports that sensors have gone crazy. It only lasts for a few seconds, but when both the smoke and the sensor interference clear, the tentacled enemy machine is gone, and the rest of the Council forces are retreating through Dimensional Distortions. The only other forces on the field are Alcyone's constructs.

"Interlopers from the world of the Magic Knights, I shall-" Alcyone is interrupted by the arrival of a large wolf who almost likes it's made of lightning.

"Enough, Alcyone, it is clear you cannot succeed." The wolf says.

"Inova? What are you doing here?" Alcyone asks in bafflement.

"Master Zagato sensed the intrusion of the Jama Kingdom and the invaders from beyond. He requires all of us be present to deliberate our next course of action." Inova explains.

"But the Magic Knights are still within Eterna! If I can kill them when they emerge and take their Escudo-"

"With your forces depleted from fighting both the Jama Kingdom and the invaders from beyond? I do not think that is possible under the current circumstances." Inova turns to face your group. "Enjoy this victory for now, soldiers from the world of the Magic Knights. Things will not so easily go your way next time."

Alcyone huffs before leaving alongside Inova. The Dunbine, Ikaruga, and the centaur machine all salute your group before being engulfed by blue Dimensional Distortions.

Looks like the battle's over.

Results

Pilot of the Knight Robot has been killed
The Magic Knights have obtained Escudo, the material necessary to truly become their titles
Salvage of enemy machines obtained: 1x Fishbowl (mostly intact), 1x CQC Specialist (bits and pieces), Knight Robot (badly damaged, partially intact in some places), Graffiti Robot (bits and pieces)
Howard Mason has been killed in action. His remains have been recovered from what's left of his Flag.


A/N: You want to dunk on the Council? Ask, and ye shall receive assuming it makes sense to do so in the circumstances. Start of the next turn will be up tomorrow. Please discuss, review, speculate, and critique!
 
Take that you fuckers, glad to see everyone going ham in their asses and hey waveride crash event for the quest, that is good considering Kamille on most scenarios where he still himself after the final battle of zeta he gets utterly scared of ever using the full power of the zeta gundam again, not that I blame him, specially with the mindfuckery he went trough.

At least this fuck on the other hand didn't had much luck.

Also hey, Kamille is considered by many one of the strongest newtypes, but alas these guys would probably have a good chat with blue cosmos on how to kill other people.

Also I see you there gundam AGE.

Houston, we have no problems...

That was damn good. And hey, the Squire lasted...half a map? Maybe?

Gene from Gundam got more screen time. So Squire got exactly what he deserves, as far as I'm concerned. Fuck, this guy got less time than the original Shuffle Alliance did in J.

Only thing better would be if Getter evolved out of the team's sheer fury. Just so they'd get a glimpse of what's to come.

Turn 8: There and back again
August UE 0083
Aboard the Nadesico, en route to Presea's residence, Cephiro

You're curled in the fetal position in your room. The Council had demanded that you be handed over for summary execution. Naturally, no one had been in the mood to comply with that demand, and the ensuing fracas had killed one of the enemy Super Robot pilots.

But you wonder, will they be so lucky next time? What right do you, as a parasite from another dimension, have to be protected?

A knock on your door gets your attention.

"Come in, the door's unlocked." You say as you sit up.

The door opens. It's the girls.

"Are you okay?" Lucia asks hesitantly.

"I've made a decision. I'm going to give myself up-"

Nina walks up and slaps you across the face, hard. Lucia brings her hands up to her mouth and gasps in surprise.

"Don't you dare think of giving up! You think the Council will be satisfied killing just you? And don't give us the 'I'm a parasite sent over from a different dimension' excuse! And besides, how do you think we would be affected by something like that happening?" Tears start to well up in Nina's eyes.

"We love you, Mira. Don't you get it? Like it or not, we need you." Yukari says.

"When I think about what the Council did to us, I don't get sad and mopey. I get angry. I want to kill those fuckers. What about you?" Nina asks as she crosses her arms.

As you mull over Nina's words, you feel an ember of rage. You recall your surrogate mother and father, and try to imagine a life with them in happier times. You clench your fists as you think of an idyllic life that you were deprived of before you were even born.

"You're right. I can't mope at a time like this. I'm going to kill as many of those bastards from the Council as it takes to keep you girls safe."

Yukari walks up and hugs you. She then parts your bangs before planting a gentle kiss on your forehead. Nina sits down next to you and pats her thighs. You take that as a cue to put your head in her lap. Nina strokes your hair affectionately while Lucia hugs Yukari from behind, who gives her surrogate sister a chaste kiss on the cheek.

You decide to let yourself drift off to sleep in Nina's lap. She doesn't seem to mind.

A recent attack by Dr. Hell and the Invaders simultaneously has resulted in...unusual circumstances. Jeremiah Gottwald is presumed killed in action, and Viletta Nu was recovered by Ohgi, but a head injury she sustained during the battle seems to have caused her to suffer some form of amnesia. She's currently living with Ohgi, and is going by the name of Chigusa for unclear reasons. There doesn't seem to be an issue at the moment, but Kallen and Tamaki get the impression that Ohgi is falling for her...

What to do?

[ ] Nothing
-Let this play out. The Area system is dead and buried, so even if Viletta recovers her memories, there shouldn't be a problem...hopefully.

[ ] Controlled encouragement
-Encourage Ohgi to pursue the relationship, but remind him not to lose sight of the goals of the Black Knights and the Solar Vanguard.

[ ] Integrate
-Have 'Chigusa' join the Black Knights. Hopefully you'll be able to use this as blackmail if Viletta recovers her memories.

Research Action

The wrecks of the Council machines have piqued the interest of the more technically minded within the Solar Vanguard. You know what they say, know thy enemy...

One group of researchers can be assigned to one wreck.

Researchers:
Rakshata Chawla and the Black Knights Engineering Corps
The Gundam Scientists (Dr. J, Professor G, Dr. S, Instructor H, and Master O)
Celestial Being mechanics (Ian Vashti and co)
Dragon's Hive mechanical department (Sammy)
Mithril Black Technology Research and Development Division

Wrecks:
Fishbowl mech (mostly intact)
CQC Specialist (bits and pieces)
Graffiti Robot (bits and pieces with an intact right arm)
Knight Robot (badly damaged, partially intact in some places)

Political/Intrigue Actions (Pick FOUR)

[ ] Queen of the Pacifist World
-Relena Peacecraft has publicly outed herself as the last known surviving member of the Peacecraft bloodline, the royalty of the ruined Sanc Kingdom. She has condemned the current state of the world and is urging the Earth Federation to deescalate its war with ZAFT, and is calling on the N.U.N.S. to intervene if that fails. While Relena is not having as much impact as she would like, there are many within Neo-Hope who are displeased with the message she is sending. Dorothy has an idea to protect Relena which would also subvert the portion of Neo-Hope under control of the Romefeller Foundation, but Zechs and Heero are hesitant to go along with it. Trieze seems to be on board with it though.

[ ] Incompatible Press Pass
-Dragon's Hive has requested assistance with dealing with Isabelle Cronkite, a journalist who was able to figure out where their private island is. Normally, security protocol in such a circumstance is to erase the relevant memories of the intruder before deporting them from the island, but members of the Dancouga team think it might be a good idea to have a friend in the press...

[ ] Discount Zeon family revelations
-During a recent encounter with Meio Plato's squadron, Kaine Wakaba found out that his girlfriend Linda is actually the Blue Hawk's sister. Although neither Kaine nor Linda have let this fact sour their relationship, their friends are worried that Blue Cosmos or someone else from Neo-Hope will use this as an excuse to have Linda arrested. Run political interference so that nothing bad happens.

[ ] Non-Singular Truth
-Nergal is requesting assistance with an experiment that they're conducting using Chulips. In addition to providing extra security, they're also requesting the presence of Akito Tenkawa.
-This event will still proceed if not picked, but you will be able to better control the outcome if you get involved.
-What do you send over for security? (Pick TWO)
--[ ] Jegan Squad
--[ ] Leo Squad
--[ ] M9 Squad
--[ ] Aries Squad

[ ] The NERV of some people
-Shinji Ikari has met Asuka Langley Soryu, pilot of EVA-02. Working together, they managed to kill the Sixth Angel, Gaghiel. However, there is substantial friction between Asuka and pretty much everyone else that has to work with her. Misato is requesting someone to help put Asuka in her place, or at least mediate arguments so that she can reach an understanding with everyone else.
-Pick 1-3 pilots not from Celestial Being or the Black Knights to send over.

[ ] Message from the Frontier Fleet Captain
-S.M.S., through its contacts in the New UN Spacey, have gotten wind that the Frontier Colonization Fleet is having trouble with a new alien lifeform known as the Vajra. They're requesting any available reinforcements to assist with defense of the fleet.
-Regardless of whether or not this choice is taken, Isamu Dyson will not be available for the foreseeable future, though you will still have access to a generic VF-25 wing.
-What do you send over to the Frontier Fleet? (Pick TWO)
--[ ] Jegan Batttalion
--[ ] Leo Battalion
--[ ] GN-X Platoon
--[ ] Mixed Flag, Enact, and Tieren Battalion

A/N: Remember when I said the update would be tomorrow? I lied! Kind of. Anyway, please vote, discuss, and critique!
 
With the current issues facing us, we need to really get our own head in order, and that means.

Well here is my plan, going with Lunaryon bonding, since they deserve it for this turn.

Controlled encouragement mostly to say that he is free to do this, but to please not to think with his dick 24/7

For research the black knights researchers on the knight robot, they may be able to salvage something from what Kamille did, it is the machine from the council that is mostly intact after all and who knows we may get lucky and pin down the shield, the graffiti robo on the other hand is just lost of time.

As for actions, I think it is time we finally get involved with some gundam wing plot, same with dragonar, 5 bucks that Miwa is the one trying to arrest Linda.

The sooner we understand boson jumps the better.

TBH we cannot do exactly something with Asuka at the moment, specially since most of our pilots wouldn't probably stand her either and the Dancouga team can deal with the reporter really.

Finally we have the Macross Frontier event, at least we can assess a new enemy with this.

I'm very mixed here...but I think focusing on our friends is the way to go.

Boson jumps would be very valuable, but I'm more concerned about the NERV situation. Blunting Asuka at least somewhat will help Shinji, and give us more interaction with NERV in general, the Children and their guardians more specifically. Which are both very important, as the entirety of the original Evangelion was caused by poor communication and NERV's secret bosses being absolutely fucking insane.

Heading that off as much as we can is something I really want to do, more so than getting more or better Boson jumps.

I was absolutely fucking torn on who to pick...but maybe Judau...? I don't know, this is something I think we should do, but I don't know who to pick. Other than shoving Getter at it, but that will be either wonderful or horrible. It will also be visible from orbit regardless. Augh, fuck it, BELIEVE IN GETTER!

I was also pretty torn on who to pick for research. I went with Mithril because they're the most likely to succeed in decoding any weird secrets that the Council might be hiding, and we have a decent in with that group with Uruz-3 and Kaname.

I picked Amuro instead of the Full Cuddlepile because we can't just sit in a dark room, eat ice cream, and watch Magical Girl reruns all day. We need to have friends, so let's go reacquaint ourselves with an old war buddy to show our past had some meaning.

The Relena and Dragonar are just in line with us helping, and we should assist the Frontier Fleet to get ahead of any new enemies...and, y'know, make friends.

EDIT: edited the mech research vote, yey. In this case, I didn't have a better argument for or against most of Aron's mechs choices, but I'm still sticking Mithril on the Squire's mech in hopes of getting the most out of it.

Admittedly, I don't know much about Code Geass in general, but Mithril's wheelhouse is in revolutionary and unknown technology thanks to the Whispered. And Whispered have a lot more tech crammed into their heads in SRW. In W, as an example, Kaname mentions the Boosted Men drug, IFS, the G-Stone, the material of Orgun's Armor, the Galeorea Comet (which doesn't even become relevant), and most interestingly..the origins of the OG villains of that game. So we could see them crack Council tech much faster.

EDIT 2: Welp, so long Macross vote...I'm hoping your fleet won't be violently gangfucked by...I dunno, the Aparoids suddenly showing up or something. So I present Making Friends and Influencing People V2: The Frontier Sings Alone

Non-Singular Truth is a must have because the event will fire off regardless of our choices. The rest remain in a fuzzy state to be picked later
 
I'd advise letting the Getter Team handle the EVA team, if we can leave Cephiro now. If anyone will get through Asuka's skull, it'll be them or Tetsuya.
