It's almost like everything is moving through water, too slow. This damn machine is too slow, the trigger is too slow, the slug is faster, but still too slow. Even your voice is too FUCKING SLOW! All you can manage is a desperate "Thunder!" before everything speeds back up.
(Result: 80)
(Thunder roll: 73)
Frankenstein
< I've been- .......... >
Your slug went clean through the mountain, embedding its self into the Zaku on the other side. Thunder's Gundam spins on it's the heat knife instead being impacted the armored front torso, impaling it's self in the Lunar-Titanium. Thunder unloads her rifle into the "GM", as it falls her screen reveals it to be nothing more than a mock up. The drones all fall over like puppets who's strings have been cut. You hear Thunder exhale before she speaks.
Thunder
< Enemy down. >
You sag in you seat and release a breath you had only barely realized you had been holding.
Treat
< Damn they killed him quick, guess you win the bet. Unless your dead that is. >
You stiffen as something tells you it's not over, "Thunder Jump to the side- "
(Enemy Roll: 88)
(Enemy trait Activated: Faking the dead: ? Times per battle turn, if unit is hit and not destroyed, unit can fake being destroyed or disabled and gain extra attack at +5, extra attack must be at zero or short range)
Trick
< Gotcha! >
A rocket, no, a panzerfaust, slams into the shoulder of Thunder's MS and rips the rifle and right arm of her Gundam clean off. She stumbles backwards and the Pixie's foot fails to find purchase. The symbol of the Federation's technological prowess falls flat on it's back.
Pixie
< Damn it! >
Pixie swings his bazooka around to the fake GM, (Dodge check: 90, pass!) only to barely dodge a high caliber sniper round .
(Pixie Recon roll: 50)
Pixie
< Sniper! He's somewhere in the mountains just past these dunes! >
The sniper shell then explodes, seeming to set of other explosions. Your IFF dies as the M-Particle density jumps to 85% and the hills are covered in smoke.
You can't see Pixie, you can't see Thunder, and you can't see the enemy.
You feel alone.

So I'm thinking switching weapons is something we should definitely do here. A sniper rifle isnt much good in thick chaff like this.

Hope we don't trip over her or getting friendly fire. Pulling out the beam saber to ward off close encounters, tho I'm not sure how enemy is able to control the remote Zaku with thick M field up.

The control unit is down, the zakus are not moving.
I do still need that willpower roll by the way.

Even a bazooka shouldn't have the power to break through the armor of a Gundam.
I will roll for will.
You want to give Skadi the weapon she is worst with? That is asking to get beaten.
I will roll for will.

Alright, let's see if I remember how to roll a die here.

Only the one counts but it is a good roll so not a problem.
@manofjay I was hoping this wasn't TZ and instead a Federation splinter group. After all the purges didn't kill and imprison everyone and the amount of corrupt rot in the Federation would have left plenty that could have become another faction that caused problems for everyone.

Except despite our efforts not all of them would have been taken out. That still leaves plenty for another "resistance" group from the Federation instead of only having bad guys from Zeon. Remember the Federation still has to deal with all the BS that it did and caused.

Isn't our melee skill pretty bad? I think we should just use the MSSaR, since our shooting is very good, and we can reload as a free action

It is our weakest combat stat by a huge margin.

Allow me to rephrase, when the purges started any corrupt or morally bankrupt Federation Officer with any sense and/or money booked the first flight to Jupiter.

I guess but to think that they would just sit around while we "ruined" the Federation and dismantled their "great work" without any other action is too fantastical to work.

Our AO is covered in smoke. We really can't utilize the MSSaR all that well if we can't see what we can shoot at until it's right up to our faces. If anything, we should switch over to the carbine. It won't be as unwieldy in close quarters.

Of course not, the only option that you would stand still for is the counter ambush one

Are you forgetting we are a newtype. That means we can find and hit our enemies without seeing them.

Most reasonable choice.

I wouldn't trust we got enough time to fire a shot when someone jumps out of the smoke screen. The rifle is too long for firing from the hip.

We are a newtype this is the type of shit we are made for. Also even with smoke it is still hard to sneak up on someone since you know they are as blind as we are.
