Counter Attack-Battle Turn 21
  • Threadmarks
    • Gungnir, what is Gungnir? As you repace your MSSaR's battery, your eyes scan across the black looking for any sign of TZ's last resort. As you search the battlefield for Odin's spear you hear Shin let out an uncharacteristically wild yell and charge past you. As he speeds toward the White Wolf, he firers his 180mm as fast as he can work the action.
    (Shin Rolls: 76, 98, 92)
    (Enemy trait activation: Greater Than Equal)
    (Wolf 01 Counter Roll: 94, Two of Shin's rolls are negated)
    The white Zaku is hit by the first round, but quickly spins to face Shin, the wolf's MS bobbing and weaving- no dancing though the next two rounds.

    Wolf 01
    < Ever the pleasure to dance with you Kazuma, even if you can't see the sand you've always felt the tempo. >

    Shin
    <     Shut up. >
    HATE
    You've never felt such venom in his voice.

    Pixie
    <     Yo, boss! You still alive? >
    (Pixie Roll: 100(A note for the future: any artificial 100s will be represented by 100, and natural 100s by Crit! for convenience.))

    Pixie's Gundam grabs hooks it's left arm under Cossbones' shoulder and begins to drag him away from from the fighting.

    Crossbones
    < Still breathing Pixie, although my head hurts like hell. Get me to a firing position. >
    (Crossbones Roll: Auto pass)

    Thunder
    < Moving to zero range. >

    Thunder's Pixie charged at Wolf 01, wielding a familiar oversized heat blade.
    (Thunder Roll: 93)
    (Wolf counter Roll: 94, Thunder Roll negated)

    The white Zaku arcs gracefully over the blade, twirling as if in a ballet.

    Wolf 01
    < A good effort really, but it shows you've never fought anyone above your level. >

    The Zaku raises it's beam rifle to fire, leveling it at Thunder's Pixie-
    (GK Trait activation: Helping Hand: Interrupt an enemy's turn if an ally is in danger)
    (GK Roll: 86)
    (Wolf counter roll: 61, none of GK rolls are negated)
    A lance of pink slams into the White Wolf, the hit scorching the paint beneath the ECA.

    GK
    < Back off! >

    Wolf 01
    <     Lucky shot, it won't save you. >

    (Your Roll: 85)
    Your eyes are drawn to the cannon beneath the Musai, it's been modified. A crude generator and thruster have been haphazardly bolted on. The time on the side is counting down.

    [] Get to the cannon, you can dis able it if you get close enough. (Roll 1d100 (Maneuver) Best of 4)
    [] Get to the cannon, and take a shot at the Wolf (Roll 2d100s (Maneuver/Shooting) Best of 4)
    [] Stand and fight where you are (Roll 3d100s (Shooting) Best of 3)
    [] (write in)

    [] Talking is a free action- (write in)

    Eh, While shooting him with his own trump card would be cool to see I am not confident that he would not just use some special ability to survive it anyway. Plus I feel this is a risk of friendly fire with this thing.

    I think it would be better to disable the device, Hopfully perventing whatever they have planed for it. Besides then we would not be fighting on a timer anymore.

    We need to stop the cannon first before we worry about helping out our team. We have a mission and it most come first here.

    If we deal with these guys this cell is done completely. That means we would have wiped out two cells ourselves and taken out three of the leadership Aces. Depending on who Zeon takes out and considering they have Char leading their task force I would be surprised if they haven't wiped out a cell themselves and killed another of the leaders. But we need to figure out who is funding them in order to truly take them down.
     
    One thing that came to mind for who might be funding them could be a faction of Zentradi. Granted I have no proof of this other then there being the possibility that True Zeon is already making clone soldiers long before we even discovered that being a possibility with Zentradi medical technology until just before this attack.

    Of course Zeon might have not been completely honest about all the things True Zeon had stolen from them earlier.

    Anyway it's mainly wild guess on my part that will probably turn out to be wrong. For example I don't have any real reason for why Zentradi would be motivated to fund True Zeon as a opposed to just sending in a fleet to kick our teeth in other then them wanting to be clandestine about it for some reason, or maybe intel gathering.
     
    The Zentradi don't know there is a world here. They only found Earth while they were looking for remnant forces of the enemy they were made to fight.

    As for cloning we knew about cloning already in the UC TL. It was already possible but the machines and tech we got from the ship made it much easier, cheaper, safer, faster, and more effective clones. Also we don't know what she is I don't even think she is a clone.

    The possibilities that come to mind are Jupiter, private citizens for a lengthy list of reasons, and/or the Sides who might be worried about how close Zeon/EF are becoming without any context of why that is the case. This presumes it isn't someone within the EF/Zeon though.

    I'm so looking forwards to taking the Ace of Aces spot.

    "it's a gundam! Oh wait, oh no! It's Skadi!"

    Slight variation of the plan because we have warship support.

    Can we cut the knot by asking the Westborn to vaporize the Jormungand or would that cause it to explode and kill us all?

    Are people really sure about ship grade fire support in general direction of 4 MS where 3 are ours?

    No it isn't a good idea to fire into a melee when your own units are fighting in it. That is the space combat equivalent of having your archers fire into the backs of your own troops when they're fighting enemy forces in the middle of a field.

    I just figured that since the Westborn has 5 anti-MS guns and 6 anti-air guns that we might as well use them.

    What should the Westbron do then?

    Every shot it fires into a melee has a good chance that it will hit our forces. Our troops have ripped through the TZ forces already. The Destroyer is best used to keep lookout or destrory any MS that try to run. Not fire into a bunch of our own people.
     
    Dips :^D

    Edit: Above average i guess. 3 more rolls from 3 ppl.
    VoidZero threw 1 100-faced dice. Reason: Do IT Total: 65
    65 65

    Well let's hope that engineering background comes into play here.

    Edit not much better
    Adventwolf threw 1 100-faced dice. Reason: How do I turn this off? Total: 62
    62 62

    Sheesh we need one more roll or we are stuck with the 65. Technically 80 due to the +15 we have but still we need a high roll.
