Just a short quest inspired by a few other SRW Quests on the site where your mission is to sabotage aid Schniezel. dealing with two other SRW worlds colliding into his own
So I got the idea from reading through GDI Quest but since it takes a while between updates I combined some ideas I had for a SRW quest multicrossover with the idea of making a little quest in a quest to do while waiting for the next update like in the Aladdin Quest or the GDI Planquest so below is a nega quest where you will try to guide Schnizel el Brittania fucked up sociopath sober pragmatist of the EFF to defeat victory against the Solar Vanguard and whatever Earth Theta can throw your way! Through his wise and sensible view of the world nothing can go wrong! Just don't notice the blood on the floor But a few shenanigans can't possibly bring down a great man like Schniezel, we aren't in a anime after all

Worlds Shatter- A Schniezel Nega Quest
Intro/starting situation
To be PM of the lawful EFF government is to be in a time needing great leadership and cool pragmatism as two other universe's have collided with your own.
One is a universe where Brittania never existed and is in the middle of a Gryps War that Anaheim(or some other power behind the throne) for some reason decided to make more violent and dangerous then it should have been while the EFF and traditional pillars of order like Romefeller seems to be a disorganized mess of various officer cliques, independent units and national interests only kept stable by Blue Cosmos of all people.
Blue Cosmos of this world had resigned itself to only be the attack dogs of the elite never being allowed to rule ever again. But the ashes of Earth Null's Neo Hope Coalition and the foolishness of a tin man could be their chance to dream again. No quarter for traitors, no exceptions to their efforts to cleanse the EFF of the decadent and weak...
What kind of madman pilots a Delta Gundam that has a GN Tau drive put into it!WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE'S NEWTYPES?!
The other is a universe where Brittania had suffered the humility of being exiled and was about to reclaim it's old glory... Until Muruta Azreal stabbed the royal family in the back while Treize did his own coup to take power. Now Federal radicals called the Solar Vanguard are in a free for all against law abiding EFF forces and even killed the Charles Zi Brittania. Thankfully quick action by Schniezel has mostly contained them to Japan, hemmed in by various monsters and a powerful set of defenses.
But can a empty shell even hope to face true heroism or the dimensional invaders who represent the truly worst of humanity that can be created without the puppet strings of beings much higher?
Be quiet! I'm trying to catch up on the latest tabloids involving the Brittanian princesses! Is it true that Marybell mel Brittania was having a steamy lesbian affair inspired Euphemia to be with Suzaku Kuurugi!
But regardless of all the various hurdles Shcniezel el Brittania will be the only king standing
Turn 1
Global situations
The main seat of Shcniezel's power and was seized in the world merge thanks to a brilliant combination of maneuvering, the work of some valiant Earth Theta Blue Cosmos Military Police units and Solar Vanguard forces being stretched thin from fighting a lot of things. But the whims of the elite or their enforcers is something that could be worse than a invasion How the fuck did they make the cops worse!
-Currently organized resistance is nonexistent with most insurgents fleeing south or whatever remained of conventional opposition retreating to the pacific
- The upper class of the Federation is accepting since Schniezel is the only one in the race they know isn't seeking to much of a shakeup unlike the other challengers to the government.
- Blue Cosmos is ambivalent since while you aren't a decadent reformist in their eyes you let the Manhunters become soft and ineffective at their job.
Usually a core part of Brittania's imperial crown the southern continent is much less stable as Karaba seems to have established a 'South American Federation'in some areas they control with possible reports of ZAFT involvement. There's also concerning reports about a Last Wraith of Old Earth who's been headhunting collaborators and OSI agents though any actual records are hard to obtain. Schniezel knows BRAVERY but he has never seen WRATH like this... For some reason there's a godamn flying warship with a skeleton head on it's front committing mass piracy against who's captain is also the head of the EFF South American naval section
- Insurgent activity seems to be higher than average though a dedicated offensive or short deployment of more elite troops could easily remedy this
-The current information the OSI has on the Last Wraith's background is low, his aggression towards us seems to be low and he seems to have no other detected/known allies so this may be a good time as many to send out a kill team on this Yazan wannabe.
Most of Europe has been taken by Shcniezel as Brussels proudly flies both the the EFF and HBE flag though a few holdouts in the Sanc Kingdom,Romefeller indecision and raids by W-0 force us to have more forces than necessary in this area. Three very different Romefellers meet in the shadows. Pray that their war to the knife stays in the shadows Pretty boy commandos for the win!
- Romefeller is currently unstable and has a neutral allegiance to any faction or even itself.
- Solar Vanguard prescence is minor in the region thanks to the Romefeller infighting paralyzing their local command.
The Federation stands over Dakar but sadly that's a bit reductive. Our only real ally is Zhilikistan, there's a growing movement to make Princess Marina in charge of a Meddle East Confederation and the EFF officers here are extremely cliquish and funding hungry. But at leas the Vanguard isn't in a position to act here... But Schniezel will not be the first PM to be wounded by the Winds of Change... Shalio has been cranky after he tried to duel the Lancelot and it drop kicked him so it could fight a Council Super Robot
- Resistance is medium
- The EFF in the region is annoyed
Thankfully through cunning and strategy the Solar Vanguard have been contained to Japan though it will be significantly harder to hold then if the cordon is destroyed. The Vanguard has enemies worse than a hollow puppet with no LOVE inside. For they face the tribulations required to gain the support of the Bettermen. Look! A giant Kaiju doing a perfectly horizontal flying kick!
- The cordon is secure
- the Vanguard is occupied

Crisis Actions(Choose 1)
[]Bolivar's Ghost
The situation in South America is uncertain but a quick expedition of either conventional forces or elites could prevent anything serious from taking root. Though the more we wait the better prepared and equipped such a military expedition could be
Results:South America cleared of Insurgents But this is not the same Karaba Zero assisted and has been through a different kind of war... You get to see Schniezel unintentionally recreating the Mission Accomplished meme.
[]Corporate Consolidation
With such a wide variety of different corporations under each version of the EFF some sort of consolidation and redundancy elimination is needed. Already Schniezel is hearing reports of Anaheim still funding AEUG, Nergal corp giving out ruinously high benefits and Ochs Earth starting some sort of unregulated Kengan tournament using the children of CEO's...
Results: AEUG loses Anaheim influence, gain certain benefits depending on choices made and standardize supply lines But there are plenty who are willing to wage a shadow war with the EFF 50% of this will be a debate about Kengan matches VS Anticassia 'nonlethal' matches and the final decision with a compromise option of doing a deathmatch using the children of employees who want a promotion,paid leave or pay raise.
[]Shamna's Scepter
The ruler of Zhilikistan has come forward with a useful proposition. If we make Shamna the Empress of the middle east it could easily co-opt the reunification/regional federation movement and the royalist movements growing in power while also ensuring a pro-EFFruler in the region. Not to mention her suggestion of replacing the EFF with Zhilikistani mercenaries could be both cost effective and a more PR friendly occupation force...
Results:Zhilikistan turns the Middle East government into a EFF friendly client state,reduced strain from supporting EFF units in the area. A Empress of directionless swords on a throne of sand, answerable only to a tyrant who cannot care Shalio will somehow have an even more overinflated ego
The White Chessboard(Choose 1 action)
[] Alphabet Soup
With so many different autonomous EFF units and organizations(There's Titans going into interdepartmental disputes with the Manhunters and what's worse is how Theta's Military Police is able to act on both civilians and military populations while being exempt from the Antarctic Treaty) a decsision must be made on who to support, who to cut off funds for and who to publicly disavow but use as deniable assets...
Results: Increases Schniezel's influence in the EFF But when you make monsters it is only a matter of time before the monster eats you Ribbons is a master of the crowdfund/patreon
[] Operation Siegfried
The AEU unit W-0 has been a nuisance in Brittania's side by forcing the EFF to be stationed en masse over europe to counter their commando raids and doing logistics raids that make a invasion of Sanc Kingdom unlikely. But with new OSI information we have managed to triangulate their HQ to a medieval castle and could at the very least put them on the back foot by launching a all out assault.
Result: European Solar Vanguard forces reduced to insurgent level threat But this may strain Schniezel and his forces too much if they are too heavily involved in other theaters of war. Also avoid destroying the creepy looking Romefeller castles since those are giant mystery boxes of weird
The Black Chessboard(Choose 1)
[] The Murasame salient
Earth Theta's Murasame Labs have broken radio silence and approached you with a offer. If you give them more manpower and jurisdictions to acquire data and resources than Blue Cosmos currently does(apparently Blue Cosmos has started falling behind in delivering resources) then they will allow you to use their island(which is incredibly well defended) as a way to further besiege the Solar Vanguard. But there is good reason why Vanguard considers them a monster that would require Treize's full undivided attention to slay… …The only thing funny about this will be how many groups will swear edgy oaths to kill you and how that's entirely justified
[] Operation Triumph
It's practically an open secret that both Earth Theta and Earth Null's Romefeller Foundation bankroll a lot of different groups like the Earth Null's Solar Vanguard and Earth Theta's Federation New Model Army projects. And said groups are currently in a power struggle so with a few funds,recon missions and OSI wetworks team we could subtly shift the balance of power so that an agreeable candidate is in charge and depriving our enemies of support.
Results:Romefeller power struggle moved in Schniezels favor. In a war of words and ideas the hollow strategist sends his bishop forward… All you have to do is out charisma Treize and make a bunch of Wing characters not backstab each other
[]Operation Bloody Sunday
Currently most of Earth's orbit is held by factions unfriendly to us who have more or less agreed that they will cooperate in limiting our influence offworld but there is an opening we can exploit. Earth Theta's ZAFT is walking a tightrope where its population hates Blue Cosmos too much for it to distance itself from supporting Earth Null's ZAFT in their war but it also has a grudge against Zeon(a large amount of details remain unclear but it seems that in Earth Theta Delaz used Junius 7 for his colony drop) making it have a cold opinion towards the Solar Vanguard and Earth Delta ZAFT. With OSI involvement and Earth Null's Rau Le Creuset we can arrange a incident where Treize's Silver Bulwark will engage Rau le Creuset while near the Cacophony a Eath Theta ZAFT pilot who in what records we can glean has a pattern of high aggression in combat and absolutely no mercy towards Zeon or EFF enemies.
Reward: Cause diplomatic incident to make the Solar Vanguard have an extra front to fight,increase ability to operate in space
But ZAFT has its own Pale Horse of War lying in wait Put two SRW protags against each other…What could go wrong?
Intel(that Schniezel cares about)
Earth Null [The Silver chessboard] There are many pieces and players Treize Kusheneida has and despite the Solar Vanguards apparent openness there are still a few cards he keeps close to his vest…
[The Silver Queen LV 1] In so many major events there is a mysterious woman who appears near the center of it all..Who is she? You have enough information to prove that there's a weird lady near a lot of different events…
[The Silver Pawns] The main forces of the Solar Vanguard on earth tend to be AEU,OZ and high level EFF forces supplemented by local second rate units and whatever Super Robots can be spared. This is from analysis of combat data on the Solar Vanguard
[The Silver King] behind symbols like Relena Peacecraft it is Treize who is the center of the Solar Vanguard take him out and the game will be won
Earth Theta [E is for Extinction LV1] Genetic tests involving even Naturals from Earth Theta are odd. The entire population is seemingly filled with varying levels of genetic engineering with at minimum modification similar to the ones used in wildlife restoration programs to prevent genetic bottlenecks and at minimum 25% of the population(regardless of being classified as Natural or Coordinator) has a massively overhauled genetic code that is also heavily suppressed to the extent that most of it registers as redundant DNA…
[The Corpse Soldiers LV 1] Blue Cosmos made a dire enemy,something that they refuse to admit even exist officially and unofficially only send out reports that have the bare minimum unredacted. A pilot referred to as the Last Wraith who has done a campaign of destruction against Blue Cosmos and EFF forces. However, any data on his history or capabilities is still being withheld by Blue Cosmos.
[How I stopped worrying and learned to love the Peacemaker!] Apparently the Valentine War ZAFT in Earth Theta engaged in against Blue Cosmos ended in the widespread use of nuclear weapons, extinction level superweapons and supersoldiers. The only reason Earth Theta isn't a smoking wreck is due to luck...
So since the three different SRW quests have different narrative undertones/themes/rules and I have a like of motifs I'll put down the the three that will probably show up a lot
Beast of Possibility
Basically this one will show up the most near SRW Null stuff and SRW Theta. It's like in Canon where this represents the ability to change things for the better and not be held down by past mistakes. Natrually Schniezel is weak to this kind of thing because he represents a status quo continuing or holding onto power through a variety of ways and the Beast of Possibility is about real and positive change.
Gravity's Chains
The slow status quo, the unending sense of 'things are never going to change' that is a core part of SRW Delta.I fyou want to weaken Schniezel then weakening this one is a good idea. Though if you can make Schniezel overcommit then it can create soemthing that will be far worse for Schniezel...
The Beast of Pandemonium
This one is from my SRW Theta Quest and is the dark mirror to the Beast of Possibility
and a natural 'fuck you' to the type of 'manipulative reformist so as to maintain the system' like Schniezel. Basically if Schniezel tries to clamp down on change or tries to co opt actual change in an attempt to remain in power then the The Beast of Pandemonium
starts off in one of two ways. Either the people will actually fight back or the various people he uses to maintain a monopoly on violence will go against him so that they can do whatever horrible shit they want completely unrestrained.
