We damn well can't risk the princess dying on us. I want her alive long enough to think about this.
That said, I'm not losing our Pilots. The 20 Years Worth of materials isn't anything compared to the personal cost it would have on North and Anja. Who knows, maybe we'll even get transfered to the Lily? Because so far, their crew of eggheads have proven to be deadweight.

No benefit to picking just one.

It should be 9 if you count all 3 Mecha so far lost on the enemy side. Or did Mosi forget to count properly the first Mecha lost?
Did they lose 6 or 7 Mecha on approach?
Uh common questions or Xon would have an answer to that I think.

Two were sniped by Perbeck, three were killed in melee by her and Ito, and J6 took out two from Mosi's group.

Losing pilots sucks, but I get the feeling that we might get more; the fleet's here, after all.

This is the first time I've tried to write one of these battle scenes without sketching out the numbers on both sides in detail and keeping track of them that way, and clearly even though it's tedious not doing that was a mistake. Fixed.
Three were sniped by Perbeck, one was killed by Ito, two more were taken out by the Rose while chasing Perbeck. J6 had partially damaged two of the Vespulas but they fared a little better than the Banner Recon Types in terms of suitability in this fight. Six was the correct number, I just have no head for basic math and didn't do enough to keep track of it this time.

Can anyone see if our erstwhile sister was the one to eliminate our pilots? Or it was other enemies?

I think I need to do a better job at conveying information like this. Mosi's unit was the one fighting J6, and she was noted to have taken damage but survived and retreated.
Nah, it just me being lazy and just reading dialogue, very sorry

Okay, looking at things tactically I'm tempted to pick the material. We can probably jury-rig some powerful explosives I'm sure. What, you guys thought that material is actually going to make it to a shipyard? No, most likely it'd be used like makeshift Mines to cause serious trouble for the enemy.
But ignore the IWMD saving pilots has a serious tactical advantage. We've covered this before and we've seen it in every battle, they're indispensable. And losing one now will hurt us whenever the enemy hits us with their favorite tactic 'Throw mooks at it to soften it up, then hit them with the Ace.'
Just look at where having three seriously skilled Pilots in good mechs got us in this battle, they've proven themselves a valuable asset. Especially with the Rose's only Melee focused Mech on the line. Not to mention the hit to moral in a very dangerous situation.

If the resources is saved, does that mean this quest will have time skips in terms of years?

Tough choices. I'm guessing Ito is the one who ate it :/

Little late to the party, I suppose, but I gotta say I really dislike these 'you failed in 3 of 5 ways' votes. Just in terms of mechanics, I'd really prefer QM fiat or random dice over having to choose what we lose.
Reminds me too much of the Worm trope "One eye, the nose, the mouth, or both ears."
