We can do all three, remember. It's just that it isn't recommended that we do so, since the rest of Team GEAR need sleep and downtime. I think doing two of them is alright, if maybe pushing it a little. As long as we don't do all three in the same day, we'll probably be fine.
Some of these (
Canned Whoopass) look like they could take quite a bit longer.
[]The Valhallan Front (Operation: Canned Whoopass)
Heaven and Hell have been enemies since before they formed from prayers and broken promises. Even now, their legions clash with fevered force across the fields of Valhalla. Once the realm of glorious warriors, where the Norse Gods would bring the greatest of heroes in preparation of Ragnarök. Though the souls of those legendary few do not rest upon these shores, it does not mean that Ragnarök has not come. Rumor has it that Shiva-Sil is on the move. The Maidens of the Apocalypse have been sighted across Valhalla hunting... something. One of the WEAPONs is also in the area, and she's been clashing with Unified Darkness forces on and off for the last few days herself. They're all up to something, and Hero isn't saying a thing, so Alaya needs someone to go there and figure out what's going on, and do something about it.
Known Allies: ???? WEAPON, Team RIOT
Team RIOT is fairly tough, but it looks like part of the problem is finding everything. A bad search could leave us clueless about what's going on. A good search puts team GEAR in the position of being able to wreak the Maidens of the Apocalypse once more. Certainly a way to give them more EXP.
On the downside, besides the possible time sink, it's far out there and the Unified Darkness is trying to find out what's going on as well. If they send a force to try and kill Nepgear we're outside of reinforcement range.
Also: Who the hell is Alaya? The name shows up nowhere else in this thread.
[]The Reluxus Super Gate (Operation: High Tide)
The Elves' Super Gates create a trans-dimensional super-highway that allows them to move resources and manpower across their kingdom at a rate that is nearly equal to Humanity. The problem is that there are very few of them, and they are nearly prohibitively expensive to build. Reluxus, before it's fall, had the only Super Gate the Elvin Empire had at the battle front. If they are to bring their full might to bear against the Darkness, this Gate must be retaken. The Elves are unable to build a new Super Gate in time for the Offensive, even with the aid of Humanity. So if they are to help pull this insane plan off, the Reluxus Gate must be reopened. Otherwise, the Unified Light will drown underneath the sheer numbers their enemies can bring to bear in their place.
Known Allies: Team ROUND TABLE, Silver Chevalier, White Knight, The Four Horse(wo)men
This looks to be the least time-sensitive... to an extent. There's a lot of friends if we show up, which are going to be matched by a swarm of enemies. Even if the Gate capture is done without Team GEAR I'd bet there's plenty to kill all the time around this place. If we want to see what Army combat looks like this would be it. It's also the way to set things on fire and give UD something else to focus on. I had thought it would take a while, but this will probably be split so that we can swap out to other things while the fighting rages.
The biggest problem is that we're jumping into the throat of the biggest meat-grinder UD has. Sticking around too long
will have everything here changing plans to try and personally kill Solid Core, and depending on how much heat we draw on the other missions they might have already made our demise the priority by the time we do show. Still, that's a lot of demons to convert into
EXPvictories.
[]The Ultimate Weapon (Operation: Starborn)
When Hope Fell, Humanity had thrown everything they had at the Darkness in a mad attempt to save it. If it wouldn't end in long-lasting environmental effects, we used it. But it wasn't enough. We failed, and the shining monument to our future called Hope was torn down over the course of a week... So this time... We hold nothing back. Humanity will draw our most terrible swords, our most frightening weapons, and we will see our enemies burnt to ash before we're done. The Akashic Pillar is pulling out all the stops. They're calling on every reservist, every volunteer, and every gun they can. Entire scrap yards are being melted down, entire waste dumps are being combed over. If it can be converted for military use, they're scraping it together. But this kind of mobilization can't go without notice. We're going to far as to even bring out our most terrible weapons, in numbers that have never been seen before. Nuclear warheads are being unburied by the thousands, and everyone is aware of it. The Unified Darkness has somehow snuck kill teams onto Earth in an attempt to neutralize our most powerful weapons before we can use them upon our enemies. But we know where they're targeting first. And it would be a simple matter to stop them.
Known Allies: Judgement Drive, Judgement Core, M.E.C.A. Force
If the information is accurate this is a chance to get the drop on the Unified Darkness. It would be a shame to let the information become stale.
A feel-good mission where we can banter with Judgment Core while preserving the most devastating weapons wrought by human hands and tools. Since all the Cores and Drives have the same Affinities it's a great chance to show off our new Synchronize ability. And Judgment Core needs Nepgear, even if she can't spit it out. Who else can tank the shots meant for her? Solid Drive and Judgment Drive can also give us pointers.
On the downside, this might be the UD running the Pillar's spy network. This could just throw the being most suited for killing Divinity-level Magical Girls right at the growing problem that is Solid Core. We'll just have to throw Gabriel at them if that turns out to be the case.
Hmm. They could be fairly short-term, I worry about Canned Whoopass (did Team RIOT get to name it?) though.
