I should have clarified something in the initial post, for Research, you are assigning ALL of the wrecks to be researched by someone. Also, @ShiftingSandLand you can edit your plan, just say that you edited it.

[X] Plan: our war games
Personally, I'd rather have all our copilotSocial links bonds be as close to the same as we can manage at once, but raising all three in one turn is fine too. Give Mira hugs is always the correct answer.
Even if Ohgi decides that he can't help himself, he probably won't be able to cause some major issue for us as a whole. Since we've already butterflied away Euphie's geass-ing and subsequent death.
And the rest seems either obvious choices or worth risking the delay on otherwise.

People, I cannot emphasize this enough, PLEASE ASSIGN EACH ENEMY WRECK TO A RESEARCH OPTION, OR YOUR PLAN WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED VALID. If you've already posted a plan, you can edit it to be valid.
Ok changed vote to correspond with QM petition, think I got it right this time.
Either way Knightmares in case they can get the shield cracked.
Gundam for fishbowl, I mean wouldn't be the first time the heads of gundam development get something that would be considered to be made on crack, just look at all the zaku variations from the zeon conflicts.
Celestial beings would probably get something out of that arm
And Mythril would probably get the most mileage out of the CQC stuff.

Ok, no spoilers, I haven't seen Nadesico yet.
How bad would it be? On a sale of 1-10, If a 1 is Dr Hell fucks up some of our forces, a 5 is the canonical Battle of Loum, and a 10 is the Devil Gundam taking over the entire Zentradi fleet and we have an hour before they glass the Earth. 1 is a problem that can be recovered from without much trouble, 5 is a serious disaster with farther-reaching consequences, 10 is an oncoming apocalypse worse than anything we could have expected.
How bad?
Last edited:
In terms of physical damage, around a 1 or 2, but politically? Let's say a 1 is the canon invasion of Japan by Britannia from Code Geass, a 5 is the death of Field Marshal Noventa as it happens in Gundam Wing, and a 10 is Laplace's box being opened and all of the space colonies siding with Neo-Zeon remnants and forming the Zanscare Empire on the spot, complete with tire mobile suits. The Nadesico event would be around a 7 if you don't get involved, and a 4 or 5 if you do. Also, regardless of getting involved, the Nadesico is going to the moon. I refuse to say why until it happens.
Anyone else who's seen Nadesico, do the numbers seem right, or am I blowing things out of proportion, or somehow downplaying it? I can't get into the reasons without revealing a major Nadesico spoiler.

mHrrgrgrhrhrhggh, fuck.
Fuck fuck fuck fuck, of course this is my first plan..ntrreeeeeeehhhhhhh....
And you had to bring up Wing, too. I know that shit can go sideways easily... and if Linde gets arrested, that'd really hurt the Dragonar team...
...Fuck. Looks like Macross is on it's own, at least from the Solar Vanguard. Lemme edit my plan a bit.
Augghh... I'm pretty sure the Macross fleet won't be faced with an absolute disaster, and all the others (except Dancouga) will be disasters on a grand scale if something hinky were to happen. Which is almost a guarantee in SRW...augh.
But do i? By that logic the Macross fleet will also face disaster due to hinky shit happening. Fuck, you just had to throw in Relena, Linde facing arrest, this Nadesico disaster, an EVANGELION event, and a Macross battle into a single vote, didn't you!?

Seems about right.
TBH a lot of the Nadesico events can be political fallout, specially once the skeletons on the closet come out.
In specific the series enemy true nature.
Then you have the space politics, lets not say, but the one at the helm of the nadesico enemies is a very bad option to give political power, specially since I don't doubt that a lot of the gundam enemies would throw his lot with him.
And trust me no one wants stuff like neo-Zeon or ZAFT with access to boson jumping.
Like at least from what I remember from my playtrough of the games that had Nadesico tv series that specific skeleton is just 2 to 3 away from being as bad as the laplace box being opened at the worst possible time.
Let's just say that the goverment of the turn deciding to pull a bloody valentine on an already defeated faction they themselves riled up iirc is not gonna sit well with anyone.

Mandatory Event: Return from Cephiro
August UE 0083
Presea's Residence, Cephiro
"Thank you for assisting the Magic Knights, warriors of their world." Presea bows to the assembled group, which aside from the Magic Knights, consists of you, the ship captains, Amuro, Ryoma, and Kira.
"Now that the Escudo is in our possession, I can make weapons worthy of the Magic Knights, and they can begin their quest in earnest." Presea says.
"How are you going to do that? I don't see anything resembling a forge..." Amuro scratches his head as he glances around.
"For the Pharle of Cephiro, such a crude implement is not required, especially when working with Escudo. Observe." Presea says as she starts to...disrobe? Hikaru blushes and covers her eyes, while Amuro and Bright stutter and try to look away.
It turns out none of them had anything to worry about, as Presea was merely taking off an outer layer of clothing, revealing a white dress/leotard with ruffles that reminds you of a Greek toga. Presea brandishes a trio of translucent ribbons, using a magic dance to manipulate them, wrapping one around each piece of Escudo that the Magic Knights brought back. There's a bright glow, and when it clears, in the place of each piece of unrefined ore is a large sword, each with a different color scheme on the handle and pommel. One is red, another is blue, and the last is green. The red sword floats toward Hikaru, the blue one to Umi, and the green one to Fuu. Presea smiles as the girls give their new weapons a once over.
"Now you are true Magic Knights." She says.
Bright clears his throat to get Presea's attention.
"Apologies for dampening this momentous occasion, but do you have any idea how to get us back to our world? We have our own obligations back there, you see." He explains.
"I contacted the Guru Clef as soon as I saw your ships on the horizon. He should be here any moment now. Given that he is the most powerful magician in Cephiro, I would be surprised if he does not know how to aid you." Presea says.
There's a knock on the door to Presea's house.
"Ah, there he is!"
Mokona chirps and jumps up to the door, and after some effort, manages to open it to let Clef in. He's...much shorter than you expected, and if you hadn't been told prior that he's 745 years old, you would have mistaken him for a child. He gives a polite bow to your group.
"Thank you for rendering assistance to the Magic Knights, soldiers of their world. I understand that you were not brought here by your own will?" Clef asks.
"We were investigating a strange phenomenon in our world when it unexpectedly pulled us in." Murrue explains.
"That explains the odd magic I felt a few days ago. I believe that I know of a way to send you and your vessels back to your world." Clef says as he strokes his chin in thought.
"What about the Magic Knights?" Yurika asks with a raised eyebrow.
"Unfortunately, they must remain here for the time being. Do not worry, we will render as much aid to them as we can. Presea, I'm going to need your help for this." Clef says.
Presea nods as she puts her outer layer of clothing back on and goes to another room to discuss things with Clef. You glance over to the Magic Knights to see them testing their new swords, getting familiar with their grip and swinging them through the air experimentally. You feel something land on your head and realize it's Mokona. You reach up and let him jump onto your palm.
"Puu!" Mokona chirps as you bring him down to eye level. You give Mokona an affectionate rub behind the ears before setting him on the ground and shooing him toward the Magic Knights.
"You really think this is as simple as Clef and Presea make it out to be?" Ryoma ponders out loud.
"No." Amuro states as he crosses his arms.
"There's not much we can do about it without knowing the whole picture. Besides, we don't have nearly enough supplies for a sustained campaign here." Bright says.
"Do you think anyone is going to believe us about...this?" Murrue gestures outside the window.
"Treize definitely will. I just hope they take him seriously..." Yurika says.
Bright sighs.
"Right now let's focus on getting back and making our report sound believable."
You all nod in agreement before leaving for the ships.
September UE 0083
New UN Spacey Colonization Fleet, Designation 'Frontier', Island 1 Spaceport
"I'll never get used to those tingles I get during Fold travel." An OZ pilot grouses.
"Pretty sure you're the only one who gets those tingles dude." A GN-X pilot says.
"Shut up man." The OZ pilot says half-heartedly.
Both pilots go silent as the COs of their respective units walk past them to meet an N.U.N.S. officer and someone from S.M.S.
"Heard these aliens that're attacking the fleet have some kind of bio-missile they fire in salvos." A different GN-X pilot says.
"At least only the big ones have beam weapons." A different OZ pilot notes.
"Isn't the Galactic Fairy in this fleet?" The GN-X pilot asks.
"I thought she was the Galaxy Colonization Fleet." The OZ pilot replies.
"No, the Battle Galaxy and most of the Galaxy Colonization Fleet was destroyed by the Vajra right before we arrived, didn't you read the report?" The GN-X pilot says.
"Huh, so she's stuck here? How hard do you think it'll be to go to one of her concerts?" The OZ pilot muses.
"Harder than you think boys, they plan on running us ragged." The OZ commander says as he walks up the pilots. "You have until tomorrow morning, local time, to get the kinks out. Then, we're getting familiar with how S.M.S. and the N.U.N.S. operate."
The assembled pilots sigh.
The Rose girls have realized that Mira is starting to use them as an emotional crutch. They realize that this isn't entirely healthy, so they plan to throw a small surprise party for her with some of the other pilots.
Who do they invite? (Pick THREE)

Okay so I've put some thought into this. I'll say that Aoi is an auto include, since we've had a destress event with her already. Kamille is walking proof that the Council heroes aren't invincible, and Amuro has both Newtype Hax and experience with the messed up shit that went down in the Titan's.
I'm stalling out on a higher definition explanation in my thought process at the moment.

...Hm. Apparently the girls agree that Mira cannot live life in a cuddlepile, crying at trashy daytime soap operas.
We need to socialize more, or else we'll become
I am...very torn on who to invite beyond Amuro and the Entertainment (read: Kaname and Sosuke)
Amuro's an old war buddy whos been wanting to reconnect, the FMP duo is a good way to get Mira to relax a bit...
But who to pick for the third? Aoi is a friend, Kamille just offed an enemy commander for Mira and her girls without hesitation, and both Koji and Judau are just all-around good guys who would get along well with Mira, if for different reasons.

Mandatory Event: Return from Cephiro
September UE 0083
Palace Hotel Tokyo, Chiyoda City, Tokyo
You feel out of place as Yukari tugs on your arm, guiding you through the lobby of one of the most expensive hotels in Tokyo.
"Yukari, what are we doing here?" You ask her.
"I told you, it's a secret! Wait here a second." Yukari responds.
You wait by a couch as Yukari goes up to the front desk. A few minutes later, she comes back holding a room key.
"All set! Come on, follow me."
Yukari grabs your arm again and guides you to one of the elevators. She hits the button for one of the top floors. At the sight of your raised eyebrow, she merely giggles. After the elevator reaches your destination, the two of you exit, Yukari guiding you down a hallway to what you're pretty sure is a penthouse suite. Yukari opens the door to reveal a dark room. As the two of you walk in, the lights suddenly come on and you hear a pair of party poppers going off. You blink to clear your vision and see Nina, Lucia, Amuro, Kamille, Sosuke, and Kaname Chidori, the latter two holding the spent party poppers.
"What is all of this?" You manage to find your voice again after a few seconds.
"Well, we realized you were kind of relying on us an emotional crutch, and we figured that wasn't very healthy..." Lucia says timidly while looking down at the floor.
"So we decided to invite a few people to have a little surprise party, have you socialize with people other than us. Sorry for going over your head about this, but we were getting worried when Lucia saw you binging Season 2 of Beautiful Healer again, and we figured we had to do something." Nina says.
You feel yourself blush slightly as Amuro and Kamille exchange a smirk. You glance around the room to momentarily distract yourself, and you find your attention drawn to what looks like a mascot suit in the corner. Kaname sighs as she realizes what you're looking at and pinches the bridge of her nose. You look closer and realize that the mascot suit is clad in what looks like tactical gear, and you see a pile of guns and ammunition next to it.
"What's up with that?" You ask.
Sosuke is about to say something when Kaname harshly elbows him in the side.
"This maniac thought the party was going to be bigger, so in the name of 'security', he bought a used Bonta-kun suit and did god-knows-what to it to bring it up to his standards." Kaname grouses.
"In my defense, I was only told that we would be holding a party, not the circumstances or how large it would be." Sosuke says.
"Read the room you dolt! What part of 'low key' didn't get through to you?" Kaname says in frustration as she pulls out a folded paper fan from seemingly out of nowhere.
Sosuke immediately puts his hands up in deference to Kaname, which seems to placate her enough that she tosses the fan onto one of the empty coffee tables instead.
You inexplicably burst out in laughter. You collect yourself after a few seconds.
"Thanks for doing this guys. Wait, I just realized...how are we paying for this?" You ask in concern.
"Actually, that's not a problem. Mr. Prospector realized there were a few thousand credits from last month's operating budget that would have gone back to Nergal unless they were spent. He figured that letting them go back to the company would be a waste, so he gave it to us for this party. As far the expense report is concerned, this is a 'morale boosting' activity." Kamille explains.
You chuckle.
"Well, we might as well enjoy this then." You say as you grab a plate and a sandwich off of a table filled with food.
You sit down on a couch while the girls talk with Kamille and Sosuke. Kaname is about to sit down next to you when she feels her cellphone vibrate and takes it out, glancing at the caller ID in surprise. She holds up a finger in apology as she answers the call, from what you can hear, her friend Kyoko is calling.
"You know, I think the last time we really had a heart-to-heart talk like this was before we went to stop Char from dropping Axis on the planet." Amuro muses as he cracks open a can of soda and takes a sip.
"Yeah. Wow, it's already been a little over three years since that, huh?" You lean back a bit.
"Didn't we say we'd share a toast over the wreck of the Sazabi?" Amuro reminisces.
"Yeah, I think you said Bright had a bottle of post Space War One vintage that he'd been saving for a special occasion." You recall before shaking your head. "Then things got bad during the fight and, well...we both know what happened next."
Amuro shakes his head.
"I know what you're going to say Mira, that you're a coward for getting out of the way of Axis before I urged everyone else to leave me. You're also still questioning whether or not you're making your own decisions. If your-let's call them your conception parents-really wanted to ensure that you'd stay safe, would you have been able to enlist of your own volition?" He says.
You mull over Amuro's question for a bit.
"I...I guess not." You conclude.
Amuro claps you on the shoulder.
"Then you have nothing to worry about on that front. And who knows, maybe you'll be able to visit this System your parents made and ask it." He says.
"Careful now, Captain, wouldn't want Beltorchika misinterpreting things from second hand accounts." Kamille says jokingly. He and the others have congregated around the couch you and Amuro have been sitting on.
"Misinterpreting things how?" Sosuke asks in genuine confusion. Kaname huffs in exasperation before poking him in the cheek. "Chidori, that's somewhat uncomfortable."
"Yeah yeah, be grateful I didn't go back for the fan." Kaname retorts. You're reminded of Kenji and Tsubaki, but in an entirely different context.
"Ah, young love." You say teasingly. Sosuke stares at you in blank confusion while Kaname blushes, stutters, and then turns away.
"Please don't tease the tsundere, I think she's at her limit for the day." Yukari deadpans.
You laugh again before standing up and grabbing the girls in a hug.
"Thanks for putting this together girls. I really needed it." You whisper.
Lucia kisses you on the cheek while Nina and Yukari tighten their embraces slightly.
After cleaning up as best as you can (the Bonta-kun suit is too tall to fit into any of the penthouse suite's closets) you all decide to stay the night in the hotel.
Black Knights Safe House, Shinjuku
You are Zero, and you are currently waiting for Kaname Ohgi, one of your most trusted lieutenants, to arrive so you can have a serious discussion with him.
"He's late!" Tamaki bristles.
"Come on, it's only been three minutes." Kallen rolls her eyes.
"Yes, but we marked the message we sent to him as urgent. U-R-G-E-N-T! You think he'd be a bit more punctual for something like this." Tamaki crosses his arms.
"Well, you can air your grievances about his lack of punctuality to him personally, he's here." C.C. says.
The rest of you turn to look at the surveillance monitors to see Ohgi walking up to the door, 'Chigusa' in tow. She's wearing a light blue sundress with a complimentary straw hat. 'Chigusa' tugs on Ohgi's sleeve. There's no audio, so you don't hear what he says as he turns back to her, but it looks to have been some kind of reassurance, as her expression brightens slightly before she leans in and gives him a quick peck on the lips. As she walks away, Ohgi waves goodbye to her before turning toward the door and knocking. As Kento Sugiyama lets him in, you, Kallen, and Tamaki exit the surveillance room and go to the closest thing this safehouse has to a meeting room. You sit down at the head of the table, Kallen takes the seat to your immediate right, and Tamaki opts to stand.
You don't have to wait long before Ohgi enters the room. Sensing the chilly mood, he immediately takes a seat at the other end of the table.
"Ah, what's this about, Zero?" Ohgi asks nervously.
"Your relationship with that Britannian chick you pulled out of the rubble, that's what!" Tamaki says with a glare.
"We are concerned that your growing...affection for her may cloud your judgement in the future." You say.
Ohgi glances between the three of you in disbelief.
"You...you can't be serious!" He protests.
"Ohgi...you've been late to half of your meetings this week, and Tamaki and I have seen you taking her out when you said you had other obligations." Kallen says.
"I am not saying that you must break up with or...get rid of her. In her current state, there is no way that Britannia would take her back. However, I am asking you to please remember why you joined the Black Knights in the first place." You say.
"To...uphold justice and protect the weak." Ohgi says while staring at the table.
"Exactly. I expect great things from you, Ohgi, you have much potential. But please, don't let your hormones think for you." You say.
Ohgi blushes slightly and sputters.
"How-"
"Dude, did you forget we have a hidden camera for the front door? We saw your lovey-dovey routine before you knocked." Tamaki interrupts. Ohgi sighs in embarassement.
"You know what, take the rest of the week off, Ohgi. However, I expect you to fulfill your duties above and beyond when you come back. And if Viletta recovers her memories, you are the one who will have to deal with the consequences." You warn.
"Understood, Zero. Thank you." Ohgi says.

Mandatory Event: Return from Cephiro
September UE 0083
Palace Hotel Tokyo, Chiyoda City, Tokyo
You feel out of place as Yukari tugs on your arm, guiding you through the lobby of one of the most expensive hotels in Tokyo.
"Yukari, what are we doing here?" You ask her.
"I told you, it's a secret! Wait here a second." Yukari responds.
You wait by a couch as Yukari goes up to the front desk. A few minutes later, she comes back holding a room key.
"All set! Come on, follow me."
Yukari grabs your arm again and guides you to one of the elevators. She hits the button for one of the top floors. At the sight of your raised eyebrow, she merely giggles. After the elevator reaches your destination, the two of you exit, Yukari guiding you down a hallway to what you're pretty sure is a penthouse suite. Yukari opens the door to reveal a dark room. As the two of you walk in, the lights suddenly come on and you hear a pair of party poppers going off. You blink to clear your vision and see Nina, Lucia, Amuro, Kamille, Sosuke, and Kaname Chidori, the latter two holding the spent party poppers.
"What is all of this?" You manage to find your voice again after a few seconds.
"Well, we realized you were kind of relying on us an emotional crutch, and we figured that wasn't very healthy..." Lucia says timidly while looking down at the floor.
"So we decided to invite a few people to have a little surprise party, have you socialize with people other than us. Sorry for going over your head about this, but we were getting worried when Lucia saw you binging Season 2 of Beautiful Healer again, and we figured we had to do something." Nina says.
You feel yourself blush slightly as Amuro and Kamille exchange a smirk. You glance around the room to momentarily distract yourself, and you find your attention drawn to what looks like a mascot suit in the corner. Kaname sighs as she realizes what you're looking at and pinches the bridge of her nose. You look closer and realize that the mascot suit is clad in what looks like tactical gear, and you see a pile of guns and ammunition next to it.
"What's up with that?" You ask.
Sosuke is about to say something when Kaname harshly elbows him in the side.
"This maniac thought the party was going to be bigger, so in the name of 'security', he bought a used Bonta-kun suit and did god-knows-what to it to bring it up to his standards." Kaname grouses.
"In my defense, I was only told that we would be holding a party, not the circumstances or how large it would be." Sosuke says.
"Read the room you dolt! What part of 'low key' didn't get through to you?" Kaname says in frustration as she pulls out a folded paper fan from seemingly out of nowhere.
Sosuke immediately puts his hands up in deference to Kaname, which seems to placate her enough that she tosses the fan onto one of the empty coffee tables instead.
You inexplicably burst out in laughter. You collect yourself after a few seconds.
"Thanks for doing this guys. Wait, I just realized...how are we paying for this?" You ask in concern.
"Actually, that's not a problem. Mr. Prospector realized there were a few thousand credits from last month's operating budget that would have gone back to Nergal unless they were spent. He figured that letting them go back to the company would be a waste, so he gave it to us for this party. As far the expense report is concerned, this is a 'morale boosting' activity." Kamille explains.
You chuckle.
"Well, we might as well enjoy this then." You say as you grab a plate and a sandwich off of a table filled with food.
You sit down on a couch while the girls talk with Kamille and Sosuke. Kaname is about to sit down next to you when she feels her cellphone vibrate and takes it out, glancing at the caller ID in surprise. She holds up a finger in apology as she answers the call, from what you can hear, her friend Kyoko is calling.
"You know, I think the last time we really had a heart-to-heart talk like this was before we went to stop Char from dropping Axis on the planet." Amuro muses as he cracks open a can of soda and takes a sip.
"Yeah. Wow, it's already been a little over three years since that, huh?" You lean back a bit.
"Didn't we say we'd share a toast over the wreck of the Sazabi?" Amuro reminisces.
"Yeah, I think you said Bright had a bottle of post Space War One vintage that he'd been saving for a special occasion." You recall before shaking your head. "Then things got bad during the fight and, well...we both know what happened next."
Amuro shakes his head.
"I know what you're going to say Mira, that you're a coward for getting out of the way of Axis before I urged everyone else to leave me. You're also still questioning whether or not you're making your own decisions. If your-let's call them your conception parents-really wanted to ensure that you'd stay safe, would you have been able to enlist of your own volition?" He says.
You mull over Amuro's question for a bit.
"I...I guess not." You conclude.
Amuro claps you on the shoulder.
"Then you have nothing to worry about on that front. And who knows, maybe you'll be able to visit this System your parents made and ask it." He says.
"Careful now, Captain, wouldn't want Beltorchika misinterpreting things from second hand accounts." Kamille says jokingly. He and the others have congregated around the couch you and Amuro have been sitting on.
