Too soon for a beach episode plus Haruko isnt the the type to be fanservice outside of those and @Basarin probably has had the men working with their shirts off.

I just.. wha-... god damn.
This is great.
Also, that mecha marathon is paying dividends on the crew's morale.
Piledrivers and piston punches.
One of the heaviest Real Robot attacks, bordering on Super, if enough IMPACT is delivered.
Come to think of it, we can incorporate Piledrivers on the Jackal's frontside to improve RAMMING SPEED damage, probably?
That's another for the To-Research List, like the Learning AI.

So yeah, crazy idea ahoy. take a tank, and strap one of those prototpye 51CM naval guns to it to be used for our combining robot.
because not much is going to like what amounts to a 20 inch HE shell to the face.
and whoever suggested natural weapons for kaiju bits, that is a really smart move too.
wonder if we can make ejetable kaiju spines to be used in a mech scale frag grande.

So like a Monitor, but on land?
Hopefully the mech won't go flying backwards from the sheer recoil.
Alternatively, we develop a "gun on wheels" that's explicitly used for a single-shot FINISHING MOVE.

Not gonna lie.
I did consider suggesting "Beowulf" as one of our actual SR codenames.

Barring that, I'd just settle for Callaghan getting a goatee... if that's EDF regulations.

As a treat to you all, I present to you this.
The art was done by the talented Daniel Khanna, who is also responsible for a lot of good Transformers art. I was quite happy with how this turned out.
That is a wonderful design.
And it's not even our final form!

This was glorious. We're finally getting into that sweet sweet super robot part.
Love how this is developing, love how the author writes... Really hoping this is one of the quests that last.

1LT Richard Callaghan - Intuitive Piloting (You may Re-Roll One failed Strike or Agile Roll per Turn)
HP: 17/18
Notable Character (Can Strike at Enemy Target twice per turn)
Extra Tough (Can ignore one Enemy Strike at Disadvantage (1d6))
Conventional Weaponry (Can conduct Test Roll to Strike at Enemy Target at 2d6)
Demolisher (Can freely make Heavy Weapon Strike at Advantage (3d6) every other turn, deals 2 HP. Does not incur extra RP cost

Demolisher (Can freely make Heavy Weapon Strike at Advantage (3d6) every other turn, deals 2 HP. Does not incur extra RP cost
Turn One: Demolisher into Standard Attack. Reroll committed to the Demolisher.
Turn Two: Two Standard Attacks, Reroll committed to Extra Tough Save, try and get a suplex in here if we can, because suplexes in Super Robots are the best.
[QM Note on Turn Two] Every time you Strike a target, it counts as One Action. However, as a Notable Character, Callaghan has the ability to Strike Twice as One Action. So you are still getting what you want...but I will interpret your desire to suplex Bandit as such: the second Strike will be at a Disadvantage, but you will get to SUPLEX the SOB if you connect. This is my interpretation.]
Turn Three: Demolisher into Standard Attack, supplemented by Air Support Heavy Weapon Strike, unless any of these would impair the safety of the non-combatants. Reroll again committed to Demolisher unless required to protect non-combatants.
Turn Two: Two Standard Attacks, Reroll committed to Extra Tough Save, try and get a suplex in here if we can, because suplexes in Super Robots are the best.

Callaghan and Bandit roll for Initiative!
Callaghan:
Bandit:
Bandit wins initiative for the next three rounds!

Bandit has had enough of this nonsense. Bandit resorts to 'the good stuff' (counts as Heavy Weapons Strike at Advantage, 3d6 to inflict 2 HP).
- Bandit Succeeds!
- Callaghan rolls for Extra Tough (chance to ignore all damage at Disadvantage (1d6)).
- Extra Tough does not succeed. Timberwolf suffers 2 HP of damage.
Callaghan is not impressed. "My turn." (Initiates Demolisher as a Free Action! Counts as Heavy Weapons Strike at Advantage, 3d6 to inflict 2 HP).
- Callaghan Succeeds!
- Bandit activates Dispersion Field (Chance to negate damage, test at 2d6)!
- Bandit negates the damage! (He's still wondering what the scrag is this thing!?)
Callaghan stomps into action! (Initiates Strike, 2d6 to inflict 1 HP. Notable Characters can initiate Strike twice in One Turn.)
- Callaghan Succeeds!
- Bandit cannot use Dispersion Field again this turn! He suffers 1 HP of damage.
Callaghan Strikes again!
- Callaghan Succeeds!
- Bandit cannot use Dispersion Field again this turn! He suffers 1 HP of damage.

Bandit opens fire with arm-mounted blasters (Counts as Strike, 2d6 to inflict 1 HP)
- The rounds do not burn into anything important.
- Bandit resorts to Underhanded Tactics (Trait counts as 'Notable Character,' attempts another Strike)
- Bandit attempts to shank the Timberwolf. It doesn't take.
Callaghan agrees with Bandit. He's had enough of this nonsense too (Initiates Strike, 2d6 to inflict 1 HP).
- None of his blows connect, but there is an almighty fistfight to be had! There isn't terribly much of Fort Brenner left.
Callaghan tries something really stupid. (You wanted a Suplex? I am calling this at Disadvantage (1d6), since Bandit sure as hell isn't going to stick around and take it if he can help it. Re-Roll will Apply.)
- Success! Fate decided they wanted a wrestling match. Does the Kausen side of divinity agree on behalf of Bandit?
Damage negated. But you pulled it off anyway! Bandit suffers 1 HP damage from sheer physical impact. That, and you landed the suplex even though Dispersion Field activated. I have to give that to you!

Bandit makes a judgment roll and gauges his circuits...
Bandit: Slag this! I'm gettin' outta here!
Callaghan and 1st Support Wing aren't too keen to just let him get away. They attempt to fire with the heavy stuff at Advantage. (Combined, 6d6, chance for 2 HP a piece)
- Oh yeah, that's going to leave a mark. Bandit rolls for Dispersion Field to negate 2 HP (this time he can't negate all of it).
- Bandit suffers 2 HP! Negates 1st Support Wing's Heavy Weapons Strike, sustains Timberwolf's firepower.
Bandit escapes! He is fairly hurt, and is not very happy about it.
Earth Union Defense Force Victory

You, good mek, are a right and propah git.
They don't really have a color scheme yet. That's something Sam has noticed, but the Kaiju cultivation farm isn't done yet. There's chances yet to see new traits develop.
Who knows? Maybe the red wunz do go fastah.

perfection.
We couldn't take him down, but we fucked him up pretty bad, and actually forced a Kausen unit to retreat.
And we're not even close to being done yet.
Oh yeah, and we probably captured his weapon--hell, if we fucked him up enough, we might have actually gotten useful battle data.

Wait he just ran away without having to make any rolls for it? I would have thought that since he'd sustained quite a bit of damage and since we have air support we could have just either transformed back into jackal and caught up to him or just sent our air support after him. I'm honestly really hoping that we have options to just hunt him down.
Also I might be wrong but since we rolled 6 three times shouldn't that be 6 damage and then 4 damage after the 2 damage negation.

Orders were that protecting the defector and his contact were more important than confirming the kill.
As it stands, he took 11 HP damage to our three. That's probably not a small number, I'd be surprised if whatever it is that blocks scans of the Kausen failed by the time he booked it, because we fucked him up good. And I find it unlikely he'll have spent time to recover his disarmed weapon either, not when the alternative is getting run down by the fucking combining pro wrestler that nearly killed him.

Narration post to come up before I hit the hay.
To quote Sam, True Fact: Today was a somewhat crummy day at work. Typing this helps me to relax. So thanks for giving me plenty of material to work with.
For expediency, I combined the two 3d6 rolls at Advantage. Both would count as 2 HP a piece, so I figured to just combine them. I narratively interpret that as "the bad guy's legging it! FIRE EVERYTHING!"
In this scenario, Bandit would have been prevented from escaping if you managed to kill him. After all, you are still very early in development, and the Kausen are still technologically better than everyone else. And despite being a little weasel, Bandit is fairly tough.
I will say this. You nearly killed him. Nearly. A lot of that was him just being absolutely cocky, and you will see later on that the garrison at Fort Brenner actually fought like beasts before they were taken down. He was also fighting Cavalier who was trying to defend the garrison (and a particular human), so he had sustained damage beforehand. You showing up was absolutely not expected, and you capitalized hard on it.
Bandit is going to be carrying a grudge for this one.

I won't say by how much, but he's going to be carrying a grudge for this one.
Well, fortunately, we learned a lot from what's quite possibly the first successful engagement against a Kausen unit--and I doubt whatever hax he's using to block scans would have remained intact with the mauling he suffered there, even if it's just his armor plating blocking it--we probably sent several major gouges and breaches in it to work with.
And again, we secured the defector and his contact--and we can probably salvage the disarmed weapon too. I'd call this fight an overall success.
Remember, always seek to save lives over killing the enemy. That's the way of a true Brave!
(Also, I suspect we're going to get an RP bonanza out of this, we buttoned up the situation before the General could butt in, and we're definitively the Big Damn Heroes of the day)
