(10:09:54 PM): Okay then!
wyverncakes 10:10 pm
(10:10:35 PM): As all of you know from before, it was your shift to do recon duty for the White Chalice when you were sent north to follow up on a lead that might net you Gato and GP-02!
(10:11:04 PM): Thus you've been heading through the desert in the middle of the night, trying to be as stealthy as possible in your assorted mechs
(10:11:09 PM): How's everyone doing?
NightlitEquinox 10:11 pm
(10:11:28 PM): David is in the Tank, which is actually ideal for recon being short and squat, and good on lots of varied terrain.
lichifruit 10:11 pm
(10:11:37 PM): Rosie had made sure that this was going to be her shift.
Overman Zappa 10:11 pm
(10:11:41 PM): Technica is being polite and not blasting the epic metals in everyone else's ears. He's totally not trying to babysit Chris either
Atrament Corel 10:11 pm
(10:11:49 PM): Yuu's completely fine flying about...Straybird was practically built for this with its subspatial stealth and Imaginary Road.
Overman Zappa 10:11 pm
(10:11:56 PM): Technica knows... the Alex is kinda crap at this point.
lichifruit 10:11 pm
(10:11:59 PM): She felt edgy, because she wanted to cut a bitch.
Nerdorama09 10:12 pm
(10:12:00 PM): Chris is focused. This mission is the reason she's here. Mostly right now she'd applying her focus to keeping the hyper-reactive Alex's movements limited and quiet.
HyprKnux 1 10:12 pm
(10:12:17 PM): Kou's in the GP-01, making sure everything was set... and hoping he can bring it back in one piece. If they find the GP-02 here, he's getting it back.
lichifruit 10:12 pm
(10:12:24 PM): It was funny how scale factored in...
(10:12:33 PM): the DeWalt was a loud, bulky machine... but it was small...
lichifruit 10:12 pm
(10:12:45 PM): so as stealth goes, it could have been a lot worse.
(10:13:05 PM): Of course...
(10:13:13 PM): it's giant golden wrecking ball was about the least stealthy thing ever.
TenebraeLunaXIII has entered the room. 10:13 pm
Overman Zappa 10:13 pm
(10:13:40 PM): Ahhh... that glistening gold wrecking ball. Some of MarKus's best work!
wyverncakes 10:13 pm
(10:13:51 PM): As you continue to head north, you eventually begin to make out the signs of habitation further north...
NightlitEquinox 10:13 pm
(10:13:57 PM): David rolls his eyes, this group was terrible for stealth.
wyverncakes 10:14 pm
(10:14:06 PM): ... And when you finally crest the closest dune, you can finally see it
(10:14:11 PM): It's a base... of sorts
(10:14:21 PM): Everything's pre-fab. This was obviously slapped together on short notice
wyverncakes 10:14 pm
(10:14:48 PM): A lot of Neo Zeon material's located everywhere... but quite a few of the people down, dancing in front of a campfire don't look the part. Much more that of mercenaries.
(10:16:08 PM): David, Rosie...
NightlitEquinox 10:17 pm
(10:17:03 PM): David has a shell pre-loaded in the main barrel, for the record.
wyverncakes 10:17 pm
(10:17:07 PM): You might be getting a hunch that these are familiar people
NightlitEquinox 10:17 pm
(10:17:23 PM): Its fragmentation, because David is a jerk like that.
(10:17:35 PM): And will totally fire it into a group of unarmed people.
lichifruit 10:17 pm
(10:17:37 PM): Rosie's looking over the group. There's a Realdo, looks familiar, but...
(10:17:41 PM): ... rag tag, mercenaries...
NightlitEquinox 10:17 pm
(10:17:58 PM): Not yet though, that would give away their position.
lichifruit 10:18 pm
(10:18:05 PM): ... well, you missed every shot you didn't take, and the possibility it was them had her itching for a fight.
wyverncakes 10:18 pm
(10:18:34 PM): (For clarification, there are two major types of mobile suits in the camp in varying quantities)
Nerdorama09 10:18 pm
(10:18:35 PM): Chris is rather disappointed that she has no idea who they are.
wyverncakes 10:18 pm
(10:18:45 PM): (Dreissans: http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/zz/amx-009.jpg)
Nerdorama09 10:18 pm
(10:18:50 PM): They're clearly not the same people who attacked Freetown.
wyverncakes 10:18 pm
(10:18:53 PM): (And Gelgoog Jagers: http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/0080/ms-14jg.htm)
NightlitEquinox 10:18 pm
(10:18:54 PM): David would mention it... but radio silence.
HyprKnux 1 10:19 pm
(10:19:42 PM): Kou recognizes the Gelgoog as it is, but not the full type. Everything else is a blank.
NightlitEquinox 10:19 pm
(10:19:45 PM): David points the barrel at the group of people areound the campfire... so he can fire if need be.
lichifruit 10:20 pm
(10:20:12 PM): ((What's the terrain?))
wyverncakes 10:20 pm
(10:20:20 PM): (Deserty)
lichifruit 10:20 pm
(10:20:28 PM): ((And we're on top of a crest?))
wyverncakes 10:20 pm
(10:20:31 PM): (With pre-fab buildings set up around for the 'base)
(10:20:33 PM): (Yes0
(10:21:05 PM): (At any rate, care to get things started?)
lichifruit 10:21 pm
(10:21:08 PM): ... well, they'd gotten there without being spotted...
(10:21:19 PM): and this terrain didn't lend itself to any better surprise attack than that.
lichifruit 10:21 pm
(10:21:57 PM): The DeWalt gave a hand signal, waving it's arm from back forward, as if saying "Let's move!"
(10:23:02 PM): *And then it charged in over the crest of sand, earth slipping beneath it as it went in running, drill ripping up a sandstorm to cover it some from enemy fire.-
NightlitEquinox 10:23 pm
(10:23:10 PM): @
arachnion01@gmail.com has entered the room. 10:23 pm
wyverncakes 10:24 pm
(10:24:10 PM): [Rosie] It takes a moment for someone in the group to suddenly realize the DeWalt's coming... another second more before he can get the attention of everyone else... but as soon as that's done an alarm begins to go through
Overman Zappa 10:24 pm
(10:24:18 PM): Technica flips a few switches. "AXEL MODE - STANDING BY"
wyverncakes 10:24 pm
(10:24:21 PM): ^go through the entire base, people scrambling to get to their mobile suits!
NightlitEquinox 10:24 pm
(10:24:24 PM): *David fires his shell over his allies into the group of hopefully entirely surprised mercenaries, particularly the ones who are around the campfire.+
wyverncakes 10:24 pm
(10:24:26 PM): (David, Continue)
NightlitEquinox 10:24 pm
(10:24:50 PM): (It's a fragmentation shell, perfect for killing unarmored people)
wyverncakes 10:24 pm
(10:24:58 PM): (I noticed)
NightlitEquinox 10:25 pm
(10:25:32 PM): He does NOT however, move the tank forward. It would be better as long range artillery than in close quarters with mobile suits.
wyverncakes 10:25 pm
(10:25:36 PM): [David] And the shells fragment, scattering and cutting to the ground and tearing through a whole slew of the mercenaries as they get blown apart in a gory fashion... but a few lucky souls are already getting into their mobile suits, and their eyes flicker to life...
mistergiggl3s has entered the room. 10:25 pm
HyprKnux 1 10:26 pm
(10:26:00 PM): Kou: "...shit..."
wyverncakes 10:26 pm
(10:26:17 PM): And then at once, a slew of machineguns from a pair of Gelgoogs let loose, firing into the dune and trying to cut through Rosie's sandstorm!
(10:26:30 PM): (React: Rosie)
(10:26:41 PM): (Chris, Yuunagi, you can take your turns)
NightlitEquinox 10:27 pm
(10:27:09 PM): (Initiative?)
wyverncakes 10:27 pm
(10:27:25 PM): (David, Chris, Yuunagi, Kou, Technica, Rosie)
NightlitEquinox 10:27 pm
(10:27:34 PM): (Got it)
wyverncakes 10:27 pm
(10:27:45 PM): (Enemy lineup: 3 Gelgoogs, 4 Dreissans)
lichifruit 10:28 pm
(10:28:34 PM): *Rosie relies on the heavier armor of the DeWalt and her standstorm to cover her as she storms in, going for broke to get into melee.-
Atrament Corel 10:28 pm
(10:28:34 PM): *Yuunagi takes the opportunity to flank the enemy. Coming from another side of the base, the Straybird opens fire with its Crow Machinegun, spraying the Gelgoogs with beams.+
lichifruit 10:28 pm
(10:28:41 PM): *&
Nerdorama09 10:29 pm
(10:29:24 PM): * Chris draws the Alex's beam rifle in its right hand and sets up its shield on her left, then circles out from behind the Rise. While the mobile suits are distracted by Rosie's charge, she runs out and puts a beam rifle shot into one of the Dreissens' center of mass.+
wyverncakes 10:29 pm
(10:29:45 PM): [Rosie] The bullets do begin to pelt at the DeWalt nonetheless, but before it can reach the Gelgoogs, suddenly a Dreissan shoots straight at her with its beam tomahawk, slashing down!
arachnion01@gmail.com has left the room. 10:29 pm
wyverncakes 10:29 pm
(10:29:48 PM): (Continue: Rosie)
NightlitEquinox 10:29 pm
(10:29:52 PM): David takes the time to load another shell, this time a more typical concussive one.
lichifruit 10:30 pm
(10:30:39 PM): *She pulls up open comms and focuses her empathy on the reactions of her foes. . "I'm Rosie Li! Leader of the Iron Wolves! Ring a bell!?"
wyverncakes 10:30 pm
(10:30:54 PM): [Yuunagi] Still in a panic, the Gelgoogs at first don't realize they're being attacked from multiple sides before it's too late, and one of them gets an arm blown off before they finally break position and fall back.
lichifruit 10:31 pm
(10:31:01 PM): *She shoulder rams into the Dreissan, trying to cut its downard slash short.+
wyverncakes 10:31 pm
(10:31:46 PM): [Chris] And being so preoccupied with Rosie and Yuunagi, the beam blows a hole straight through it and the mobile suit explodes!
(10:31:52 PM): (Kou, Technica)
wyverncakes 10:33 pm
(10:33:20 PM): [Rosie] The two machines do crash together... but the Dreissan reacts fast. Remarkably so and stumbles back, right before swinging up its arm and firing a beam cannon shot at the Dewalt again!
(10:33:22 PM): (React: Rosie)
HyprKnux 1 10:33 pm
(10:33:31 PM): *With the Gelgoog's scattering, Kou takes aim at the one-armed Gelgoog wonder and planning on taking out its other arm with his Beam Rifle +
wyverncakes 10:33 pm
(10:33:35 PM): All the while, chatter begins to spring up on the radio.
(10:33:50 PM): Mercenary 1: "Christ, who are these guys?!? Feddies? They got Gundams with them, after all!"
(10:34:05 PM): Mercenary 2: "Can't be... they got... fuck is that the-"
Overman Zappa 10:34 pm
(10:34:11 PM): "AXEL START" comes from Technica's computer panel. The machine takes off at near Mach 1 speeds, as Technica aims his trajectory straight through camp, looking to take one along for the ride &
(10:34:45 PM): (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKcaK8kw2PI)
(10:35:05 PM): (shooting for a Drissen)
lichifruit 10:35 pm
(10:35:38 PM): *No time to focus on the counter. Rosie switched to defense. The DeWalt dives to the side. A beam weapon is going to go straigh through her.
(10:35:41 PM): +
wyverncakes 10:36 pm
(10:36:00 PM): [Kou] The shot is admittedly not as steady as Chris's, but still manages to sear off half of the limb... but immediately you're beset by its vulcan fire as the machine charges at you!
(10:36:04 PM): (React: Kou)
(10:36:59 PM): [Technica] A Dreissen's fast... but not THAT fast! You manage to grab the Dreissen, but then it thrusts bosts its arms up to blast at you with its forearm-mounted beam cannons!
lichifruit 10:37 pm
(10:37:04 PM): In her focus to dodge, she almost missed it... but she didn't; someone somewhere here, but distant, someone who heard her words...
wyverncakes 10:37 pm
(10:37:07 PM): (React: Technica)
lichifruit 10:37 pm
(10:37:14 PM): well she couldn't be sure they heard her, it could be a coincidence--
(10:37:16 PM): No.
lichifruit 10:37 pm
(10:37:41 PM): She had to believe that sense of recognition she empathically felt was recognition of _her name._
wyverncakes 10:37 pm
(10:37:49 PM): [Rosie] And the DeWalt just barely makes the save... and it ends up falling right in front of a garage just as the door to it begins to opne.
(10:37:50 PM): ^open.
macprysm has entered the room. 10:38 pm
wyverncakes 10:38 pm
(10:38:03 PM): Mercenary 3: "Nah... they're not Feddies... far from it!"
HyprKnux 1 10:38 pm
(10:38:15 PM): * "Woah!" The GP-01's shield goes up, taking the brunt of the vulcan fire as he decides to charge forward to meet the Gelgoog head on!+
wyverncakes 10:38 pm
(10:38:16 PM): "You weren't there when we fucked up this bitch's base something FIERCE!"
lichifruit 10:38 pm
(10:38:25 PM): The DeWalt slams its hand into the garage, trying to rebalance itself--
Overman Zappa 10:38 pm
(10:38:29 PM): *Beam canons meat ABC Scarf! Raising it over his arm and interposing it like a shield! With it's arms raised, once Technica gets point blank, it'll be time for a Mach 1 knee to the cockpit.
wyverncakes 10:38 pm
(10:38:30 PM): "And if it weren't for these losers here we would have got her too!"
(10:38:38 PM): http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/ex-revue/ms-19.htm
(10:39:03 PM): And standing in the hangar is a strange red machine with somewhat Zeon design, which just casually kicks the DeWalt away effortlessly
(10:39:10 PM): Hey Rosie, you know that bastard in the Realdo from before?
(10:39:13 PM): Yeah, that's him in there
lichifruit 10:39 pm
(10:39:35 PM): She wouldn't forget it. She recognized that man's heart.
wyverncakes 10:40 pm
(10:40:10 PM): [Kou] The two machines crash together and you manage to bowl over it. Inexperienced though you may be, GP-01's a cut above any kind of Gelgoog!
Overman Zappa 10:40 pm
(10:40:29 PM): (that's a + for my action)
lichifruit 10:40 pm
(10:40:38 PM): As the kick slams the DeWalt into the ground ... Feeling the waves of his soul inside her, it was like a chemical reaction transformed her into... into _wrath._
wyverncakes 10:41 pm
(10:41:00 PM): [Technica] The set of six beam shots point-blank still scar the scarf somewhat, but not enough to take the Type-T down... and from there it's an easy kick to blow it apart!
(10:41:26 PM): The Dolmel fleshes its muscles a little bit as the pilot inside it laughs.
Overman Zappa 10:41 pm
(10:41:28 PM): (damage check? What happened to it)
wyverncakes 10:41 pm
(10:41:38 PM): (Scarf's just a little damaged but that's it)
Overman Zappa 10:41 pm
(10:41:48 PM): (The Dreissen)
wyverncakes 10:41 pm
(10:41:53 PM): (Blown apart)
(10:41:58 PM): Mercenary 3: "Heh... this old OYW thing's got one HELL of a refit. Mobile trace system and EVERYTHING!"
Overman Zappa 10:42 pm
(10:42:02 PM): (Salvagable?)
wyverncakes 10:42 pm
(10:42:09 PM): (No)
HyprKnux 1 10:42 pm
(10:42:13 PM): (Damn)
wyverncakes 10:42 pm
(10:42:21 PM): (Rosie)
(10:43:39 PM): (Updated enemy headcount: 3 Gelgoogs (1 delimbed and trampled on), 2 Dreissans, Dolmel)
NightlitEquinox 10:43 pm
(10:43:56 PM): (Are there any unmanned Mobile Suits in the area?)
HyprKnux 1 10:43 pm
(10:43:59 PM): Kou: "Ha! Got you!" That was easier than he though... but now another suit?
wyverncakes 10:44 pm
(10:44:14 PM): (You'd have to look inside one of the garages)
(10:44:26 PM): (Or you could try your luck with the delimbed Gelgoog Kou trampled on)
NightlitEquinox 10:44 pm
(10:44:30 PM): (Okay, just making sure there weren't any with easy access.)
lichifruit 10:44 pm
(10:44:50 PM): *The DeWalt's golden wrecking ball's thrusters roared, launching it forwardard as the machine began to sprint at that red mobile suit.
wyverncakes 10:45 pm
(10:45:32 PM): (+?)
lichifruit 10:45 pm
(10:45:44 PM): She screamed over the open comms, radiating hate. It felt hot, like being too close a roaring fire.+
wyverncakes 10:47 pm
(10:47:06 PM): [Rosie] Meanwhile, the guy on the other end's just laughing as the Dolmel's shoulder spikes suddenly begin to glow red hot and it charges. The golden wrecking ball gets impaled on them, stopping it cold, and then the machine just grabs that chain and yanks on it to throw you into the hangar.
(10:47:10 PM): React: Rosie.
(10:47:38 PM): Mercenary 3: "Christ! You REALLY do hate me don't you! That weird... mind thing I heard about with you... it's the real deal!"
(10:47:51 PM): "Kinda turns me on a little bit, come to think of it...)
(10:47:53 PM): ^"
(10:48:02 PM): (MEANWHILE: David, Chris)
NightlitEquinox 10:49 pm
(10:49:28 PM): *While that guy is busy worrying about Rosie, David turns the barrel slightly, and takes aim. His goal? To cause a shockwave behind the guy and knock him a little off balance so Rosie can get a few good whacks in. +
(10:50:37 PM): (If not behind, either flank will do just as well.)
lichifruit 10:50 pm
(10:50:54 PM): *As the DeWalt is pulled past the red Dolmel, she throws the controls hard, the spinning drill on its arm trying to clothesline the mobile suit.+
(10:51:23 PM): "You wanna be chained to me!? It's your funeral!" Her voice comes out in gutteral growls.
lichifruit 10:51 pm
(10:51:43 PM): @ David (waiting for action resolutions though)
Nerdorama09 10:52 pm
(10:52:08 PM): * Still on the periphery of the fight, Chris lines up her shield with one of the Gelgoog Jaegers and charges toward it, firing two shots from her beam rifle from behind the shield's protection.+
wyverncakes 10:53 pm
(10:53:11 PM): [David and Rosie] David's shot actually does knock it off balance a little, causing it to let go of its chain... and although he shifts focus on the tank... it's only for a moment as he sees that drill coming at him. "Still using fucking construction materials?" he laughs, just as the Dolmel swings its arm up almost to block it... right before a beam saber shoots out of its arm cannon and shears the top quarter of the drill clean off! So much for that clothesline!
(10:53:15 PM): (Continue: Rosie)
NightlitEquinox 10:54 pm
(10:54:10 PM): (For the record the Tank is pretty far away, as far as it can be and still fire on the general area.)
wyverncakes 10:54 pm
(10:54:26 PM): [Chris] The Gelgoogs, on the meantime, are much more focused on the Alex, trying to skirt around the shots before one gets pegged right beneath the shoulder, leaving a smoking hole while it's still functioning.
(10:54:35 PM): (Yuunagi, Kou)
(10:54:39 PM): AND AT THE SAME TIME!
(10:54:45 PM): ... BERNIE!
lichifruit 10:54 pm
(10:54:49 PM): *Even with the front end of the drill taken off, she kicks around on the DeWalts footing to use that massive drill as a club and grinder...
(10:55:25 PM): *reeling in on the Dolmel by the chain connecting them. "I do things my way!"
wyverncakes 10:55 pm
(10:55:38 PM): Here you were, with Robert (that guy in that Xamel, remember), and trying to find a way to help take the heat off of Gato.!
lichifruit 10:55 pm
(10:55:53 PM): *And she grapples with the machine if able, slamming into it as many times as possible.+
wyverncakes 10:55 pm
(10:55:56 PM): And here you find the White Chalice people engaged in a group of what looks to be Zeon mobile suits!
lichifruit 10:56 pm
(10:56:08 PM): To anyone watching, it is clear that she has forgotten any mission you all came to accomplish.
wyverncakes 10:56 pm
(10:56:28 PM): You've got a spiffy new Zaku just like your old one and your good pal Robert's backing you up... and even those two other Gundams from Freetown are there too!
(10:56:37 PM): (Bernie: Wanna dynamic entry?)
HyprKnux 1 10:56 pm
(10:56:51 PM): *Gelgoogs. Dreissens. That odd-ball Zeon suit. Kou's a little lost as to which to pick. In the end, he takes aim at one of the Dreiseens, following Chris's pace and using his shield as a barrier as he fires at the beefy Doms+
Atrament Corel 10:57 pm
(10:57:20 PM): *Yuunagi is going to provide air support for the Alex, directing the Crow Machinegun at the Gelgoogs and launching a hail of shots at them while preparing the Prava launcher.&
lichifruit 10:57 pm
(10:57:58 PM): ((Where is everything roughly occuring? Fighting outside of buildings, Rosie and this guy basically in the doorway of a garage?))
NightlitEquinox 10:58 pm
(10:58:10 PM): David quickly loads another concussive shell. He figures he will do better as interference here than actually being destructive.
wyverncakes 10:58 pm
(10:58:14 PM): [Rosie] That arm-mounted beam saber cuts through the chain first thing, and from there it just stumbles back, weathering your smashes as best it can. Its armor is being damaged bit by bit, but you're not getting much bang for your buck and the Dolmel then just grabs the DeWalt and hurls it into the hangar!
wyverncakes 10:58 pm
(10:58:44 PM): (Yes, Lichi. The Dolmel and DeWalt are right in front of a garage)
(10:59:24 PM): (And now the DeWalt's in that garage)
lichifruit 10:59 pm
(10:59:32 PM): Rosie: "Ugh!"
Saraanne13 10:59 pm
(10:59:53 PM): Reinforcements?! Maybe. A big shadow covers the gundam Alex, and suddenly, machine gun fire rains down on Alex. Above is a Zaku II Kai. It's eye glows+
wyverncakes 11:00 pm
(11:00:04 PM): There's a loud crunching noise as you hear SOMETHING break... probably something not good, and the screen's still functioning enough for you to see the Dolmel slowly approaching you, both of its arm blades still functioning.
(11:00:25 PM): The hangar itself is almost bare, but off in the other corner there's something big... something mobile-suit sized, under a tarp...
lichifruit 11:00 pm
(11:00:49 PM): Rosie: "D-David! You stay the hell out of this! He's my mark, and I'm taking him down, no matter the cost! You got that!?"
Overman Zappa 11:00 pm
(11:00:50 PM): #? (for Chris)
NightlitEquinox 11:00 pm
(11:00:51 PM): # Rosie
(11:01:05 PM): David ignores Rosie for the moment.
Nerdorama09 11:01 pm
(11:01:06 PM): (You can go ahead if it's alright with Steam)
wyverncakes 11:01 pm
(11:01:10 PM): [Kou] The Dreissen's speed is above the Gelgoog's though, and it begins to try to dance around your shots, spiraling closer and closer... right before it slashes at you with its tomahawk!
(11:01:12 PM): (React: Kou)
(11:02:00 PM): [Yuunagi] More fire, this time from the air! Well crap, now those Gelgoogs KNOW to watch out for you, and the two haul out their beam rifles and open fire on you once more!
(11:02:05 PM): (React/Continue: Yuunagi)
(11:02:22 PM): (React to that Zaku, Chris)
(11:02:39 PM): (No to Chris's support defend, yes to Rosie's)
Overman Zappa 11:02 pm
(11:02:47 PM): ( o7 )
lichifruit 11:02 pm
(11:02:57 PM): Rosie was raging, but she was feeling it. Fear, and exultation also came pouring out of her as she looked over the dashboard of the construction mech.
(11:03:06 PM): ((Approximate condition?))
Nerdorama09 11:03 pm
(11:03:33 PM): Chris: "A Zaku?"
HyprKnux 1 11:03 pm
(11:03:35 PM): *With a grunt, Kou releases his shield, letting it take the hit, and pushing back to gain distance from the unit. He holsters the beam rifle and goes for the beam saber. If he wants to fight in close, he's ready for it!+
wyverncakes 11:03 pm
(11:03:41 PM): The DeWalt's lower motor functions are pretty much *gone*. Its arms still work... but that's about it.
Nerdorama09 11:03 pm
(11:03:59 PM): * Gundam Alex breaks off its attack, raising its shield above its head and trying to get out of the line of fire.+
Atrament Corel 11:04 pm
(11:04:24 PM): *As expected, and Yuunagi's prepared for them too. The disorienting afterimages of the Straybird weave a trail through the sky as it does its best to avoid those attacks, and simultaneously, it fires two Prava grenades at one of the Gelgoogs.+
wyverncakes 11:04 pm
(11:04:34 PM): [Kou] The shield gets carved apart without much difficulty, but the Dreissen gets nothing more, and in fact its weapon is matched by a beam saber! A fight's on now!
NightlitEquinox 11:04 pm
(11:04:54 PM): *David shoots the dolmel directly in the torso with the concussive round as it approaches, on the side away from the DeWalt if possible. He isn't gonna let Rosie take it all herself! He has his revenge to get to! Also, she wasn't in any position to claim she was winning, and she couldn't get revenge if she was dead! +
wyverncakes 11:05 pm
(11:05:39 PM): [Yuunagi] The shots hurtle down just in time... and that Gelgoog gets blown apart with no trouble whatsoever! But at the same time, one lucky shot does find its mark... and the Straybird's left wing is blasted off by one beam rifle shot!
(11:06:48 PM): [David] The shot does slam into the Dolmel, sending it careening onto the ground. Not that you can see the damage done Rosie... but it's been tied up for the moment!
(11:06:57 PM): (Technica, Rosie)
Overman Zappa 11:07 pm
(11:07:20 PM): (grunt headcount?)
lichifruit 11:07 pm
(11:07:31 PM): She was out gunned... she knew that going into this...
wyverncakes 11:07 pm
(11:07:39 PM): (Dolmel, 2 Dreissans, 1 Gelgoog)
lichifruit 11:07 pm
(11:07:44 PM): on reflection, being inside of a garage was an improvement.
wyverncakes 11:07 pm
(11:07:46 PM): (That's on Red)
Atrament Corel 11:07 pm
(11:07:51 PM): Yuunagi is going to try to maintain stability while he descends, so as not to strain the other wing. He's not out of the fight yet, but it looks like avoiding ground combat won't be possible.
wyverncakes 11:07 pm
(11:07:52 PM): (Yellow: Bernie's Zaku)
lichifruit 11:08 pm
(11:08:09 PM): Her terrain situation couldn't have gotten worse really...
wyverncakes 11:08 pm
(11:08:21 PM): [Chris] The shield does manage to repel the machine gun fire without much trouble
lichifruit 11:08 pm
(11:08:25 PM): so she started with quickly scanning her surroundings.&
(11:08:44 PM): The DeWalt used its arms to turn its body if necessary.
Overman Zappa 11:09 pm
(11:09:12 PM): "AXEL OVER" Well shit... Whatev! Technica still has tricks. Picking up on a distracted Dreissan, the Type-T whips out two of it's weapons as guns and starts taking pot shots at it while closing in the distance&
wyverncakes 11:10 pm
(11:10:04 PM): [Rosie] With the condition the DeWalt is in, there's not much range for it... but it's definitely detecting that there's a mobile suit-like machine, under that tarp covering up a mobile suit-sized object. Who knew?
(11:10:09 PM): (Continue: Rosie)
lichifruit 11:10 pm
(11:10:32 PM): A mobile suit.
(11:10:41 PM): Loathe as she was to do it, she needed bigger guns.
wyverncakes 11:11 pm
(11:11:11 PM): [Technica] With the sudden drop in speed, the Dreissan was now the hare to the Technica's tortoise, but the constant stream of fire still forces it on the evasion as you work on closing the distance!
(11:11:16 PM): (Continue: Technica)
lichifruit 11:11 pm
(11:11:42 PM): *Rosie kicked open the cockpit and started tearing her way over to climb under that tarp.
wyverncakes 11:12 pm
(11:12:29 PM): (New lineup: David, Chris, Yuunagi, Kou, Bernie, Technica, Rosie)
lichifruit 11:12 pm
(11:12:44 PM): It was humanoid that was for sure...
Overman Zappa 11:13 pm
(11:13:07 PM): *Flipping one of the guns, it goes for an axe to the shoulder, while keeping fire on it in the other hand, trying to blow out it's head/camera &
lichifruit 11:13 pm
(11:13:08 PM): she stared at the metal body, looking for where one boarded. Ah. Between the legs.
(11:13:32 PM): She almost stopped as she noticed a short... model number? Painted on the side of the body...
(11:13:41 PM): "151-E"
wyverncakes 11:14 pm
(11:14:12 PM): [Technica] The axe is stopped by a beam tomahawk of the Dreissan's, and although you do manage to blow off its head, the enemy machine still manages to take your arm in response!
lichifruit 11:14 pm
(11:14:19 PM): It made her think of her master.
wyverncakes 11:14 pm
(11:14:33 PM): (Continue: Technica)
lichifruit 11:14 pm
(11:14:37 PM): "... Ichigoichie." Once In A Lifetime Encounter. ...
(11:14:44 PM): Something to be treasured, or dreaded.
(11:15:03 PM): She pulled the emergency open on the cockpit and climbed in.
(11:15:17 PM): There was a helmet connected to some wires. That was different.
wyverncakes 11:15 pm
(11:15:17 PM): Meanwhile, a voice crackles over on Bernie's comm!
lichifruit 11:15 pm
(11:15:25 PM): She therw it over her head and began trying to start the machine up.
(11:15:34 PM): Good thing controls were relatively standardized...
(11:15:35 PM): +
wyverncakes 11:15 pm
(11:15:41 PM): Robert: "Bernie! I'm starting to wonder if these guys are Zeon!"
Overman Zappa 11:15 pm
(11:15:43 PM): *Don't need an arm for this. "EXCEED CHARGE - COMPLETE" The Technica lifts a foot, ignoring the loss of an arm "PLASMA DISASTER!"
Boot to the hea--Chest. Boot to the Chest+!

(10:09:54 PM): Okay then!
wyverncakes 10:10 pm
(10:10:35 PM): As all of you know from before, it was your shift to do recon duty for the White Chalice when you were sent north to follow up on a lead that might net you Gato and GP-02!
(10:11:04 PM): Thus you've been heading through the desert in the middle of the night, trying to be as stealthy as possible in your assorted mechs
(10:11:09 PM): How's everyone doing?
NightlitEquinox 10:11 pm
(10:11:28 PM): David is in the Tank, which is actually ideal for recon being short and squat, and good on lots of varied terrain.
lichifruit 10:11 pm
(10:11:37 PM): Rosie had made sure that this was going to be her shift.
Overman Zappa 10:11 pm
(10:11:41 PM): Technica is being polite and not blasting the epic metals in everyone else's ears. He's totally not trying to babysit Chris either
Atrament Corel 10:11 pm
(10:11:49 PM): Yuu's completely fine flying about...Straybird was practically built for this with its subspatial stealth and Imaginary Road.
Overman Zappa 10:11 pm
(10:11:56 PM): Technica knows... the Alex is kinda crap at this point.
lichifruit 10:11 pm
(10:11:59 PM): She felt edgy, because she wanted to cut a bitch.
Nerdorama09 10:12 pm
(10:12:00 PM): Chris is focused. This mission is the reason she's here. Mostly right now she'd applying her focus to keeping the hyper-reactive Alex's movements limited and quiet.
HyprKnux 1 10:12 pm
(10:12:17 PM): Kou's in the GP-01, making sure everything was set... and hoping he can bring it back in one piece. If they find the GP-02 here, he's getting it back.
lichifruit 10:12 pm
(10:12:24 PM): It was funny how scale factored in...
(10:12:33 PM): the DeWalt was a loud, bulky machine... but it was small...
lichifruit 10:12 pm
(10:12:45 PM): so as stealth goes, it could have been a lot worse.
(10:13:05 PM): Of course...
(10:13:13 PM): it's giant golden wrecking ball was about the least stealthy thing ever.
TenebraeLunaXIII has entered the room. 10:13 pm
Overman Zappa 10:13 pm
(10:13:40 PM): Ahhh... that glistening gold wrecking ball. Some of MarKus's best work!
wyverncakes 10:13 pm
(10:13:51 PM): As you continue to head north, you eventually begin to make out the signs of habitation further north...
NightlitEquinox 10:13 pm
(10:13:57 PM): David rolls his eyes, this group was terrible for stealth.
wyverncakes 10:14 pm
(10:14:06 PM): ... And when you finally crest the closest dune, you can finally see it
(10:14:11 PM): It's a base... of sorts
(10:14:21 PM): Everything's pre-fab. This was obviously slapped together on short notice
wyverncakes 10:14 pm
(10:14:48 PM): A lot of Neo Zeon material's located everywhere... but quite a few of the people down, dancing in front of a campfire don't look the part. Much more that of mercenaries.
(10:16:08 PM): David, Rosie...
NightlitEquinox 10:17 pm
(10:17:03 PM): David has a shell pre-loaded in the main barrel, for the record.
wyverncakes 10:17 pm
(10:17:07 PM): You might be getting a hunch that these are familiar people
NightlitEquinox 10:17 pm
(10:17:23 PM): Its fragmentation, because David is a jerk like that.
(10:17:35 PM): And will totally fire it into a group of unarmed people.
lichifruit 10:17 pm
(10:17:37 PM): Rosie's looking over the group. There's a Realdo, looks familiar, but...
(10:17:41 PM): ... rag tag, mercenaries...
NightlitEquinox 10:17 pm
(10:17:58 PM): Not yet though, that would give away their position.
lichifruit 10:18 pm
(10:18:05 PM): ... well, you missed every shot you didn't take, and the possibility it was them had her itching for a fight.
wyverncakes 10:18 pm
(10:18:34 PM): (For clarification, there are two major types of mobile suits in the camp in varying quantities)
Nerdorama09 10:18 pm

wyverncakes 10:18 pm

Nerdorama09 10:18 pm

wyverncakes 10:18 pm
(10:18:53 PM): (And Gelgoog Jagers: http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/0080/ms-14jg.htm)
NightlitEquinox 10:18 pm
(10:18:54 PM): David would mention it... but radio silence.
HyprKnux 1 10:19 pm
(10:19:42 PM): Kou recognizes the Gelgoog as it is, but not the full type. Everything else is a blank.
NightlitEquinox 10:19 pm
(10:19:45 PM): David points the barrel at the group of people areound the campfire... so he can fire if need be.

wyverncakes 10:20 pm

wyverncakes 10:20 pm

(10:20:33 PM): (Yes0
(10:21:05 PM): (At any rate, care to get things started?)
lichifruit 10:21 pm
(10:21:08 PM): ... well, they'd gotten there without being spotted...
(10:21:19 PM): and this terrain didn't lend itself to any better surprise attack than that.
lichifruit 10:21 pm
(10:21:57 PM): The DeWalt gave a hand signal, waving it's arm from back forward, as if saying "Let's move!"
(10:23:02 PM): *And then it charged in over the crest of sand, earth slipping beneath it as it went in running, drill ripping up a sandstorm to cover it some from enemy fire.-

arachnion01@gmail.com has entered the room. 10:23 pm
wyverncakes 10:24 pm
(10:24:10 PM): [Rosie] It takes a moment for someone in the group to suddenly realize the DeWalt's coming... another second more before he can get the attention of everyone else... but as soon as that's done an alarm begins to go through
Overman Zappa 10:24 pm
(10:24:18 PM): Technica flips a few switches. "AXEL MODE - STANDING BY"
wyverncakes 10:24 pm
(10:24:21 PM): ^go through the entire base, people scrambling to get to their mobile suits!
NightlitEquinox 10:24 pm
(10:24:24 PM): *David fires his shell over his allies into the group of hopefully entirely surprised mercenaries, particularly the ones who are around the campfire.+
wyverncakes 10:24 pm
(10:24:26 PM): (David, Continue)
NightlitEquinox 10:24 pm
(10:24:50 PM): (It's a fragmentation shell, perfect for killing unarmored people)
wyverncakes 10:24 pm
(10:24:58 PM): (I noticed)
NightlitEquinox 10:25 pm
(10:25:32 PM): He does NOT however, move the tank forward. It would be better as long range artillery than in close quarters with mobile suits.
wyverncakes 10:25 pm
(10:25:36 PM): [David] And the shells fragment, scattering and cutting to the ground and tearing through a whole slew of the mercenaries as they get blown apart in a gory fashion... but a few lucky souls are already getting into their mobile suits, and their eyes flicker to life...
mistergiggl3s has entered the room. 10:25 pm
HyprKnux 1 10:26 pm
(10:26:00 PM): Kou: "...shit..."
wyverncakes 10:26 pm
(10:26:17 PM): And then at once, a slew of machineguns from a pair of Gelgoogs let loose, firing into the dune and trying to cut through Rosie's sandstorm!
(10:26:30 PM): (React: Rosie)
(10:26:41 PM): (Chris, Yuunagi, you can take your turns)

wyverncakes 10:27 pm
(10:27:45 PM): (Enemy lineup: 3 Gelgoogs, 4 Dreissans)
lichifruit 10:28 pm
(10:28:34 PM): *Rosie relies on the heavier armor of the DeWalt and her standstorm to cover her as she storms in, going for broke to get into melee.-
Atrament Corel 10:28 pm
(10:28:34 PM): *Yuunagi takes the opportunity to flank the enemy. Coming from another side of the base, the Straybird opens fire with its Crow Machinegun, spraying the Gelgoogs with beams.+
lichifruit 10:28 pm
(10:28:41 PM): *&
Nerdorama09 10:29 pm
(10:29:24 PM): * Chris draws the Alex's beam rifle in its right hand and sets up its shield on her left, then circles out from behind the Rise. While the mobile suits are distracted by Rosie's charge, she runs out and puts a beam rifle shot into one of the Dreissens' center of mass.+
wyverncakes 10:29 pm
(10:29:45 PM): [Rosie] The bullets do begin to pelt at the DeWalt nonetheless, but before it can reach the Gelgoogs, suddenly a Dreissan shoots straight at her with its beam tomahawk, slashing down!
arachnion01@gmail.com has left the room. 10:29 pm
wyverncakes 10:29 pm
(10:29:48 PM): (Continue: Rosie)
NightlitEquinox 10:29 pm
(10:29:52 PM): David takes the time to load another shell, this time a more typical concussive one.
lichifruit 10:30 pm
(10:30:39 PM): *She pulls up open comms and focuses her empathy on the reactions of her foes. . "I'm Rosie Li! Leader of the Iron Wolves! Ring a bell!?"
wyverncakes 10:30 pm
(10:30:54 PM): [Yuunagi] Still in a panic, the Gelgoogs at first don't realize they're being attacked from multiple sides before it's too late, and one of them gets an arm blown off before they finally break position and fall back.
lichifruit 10:31 pm
(10:31:01 PM): *She shoulder rams into the Dreissan, trying to cut its downard slash short.+
wyverncakes 10:31 pm
(10:31:46 PM): [Chris] And being so preoccupied with Rosie and Yuunagi, the beam blows a hole straight through it and the mobile suit explodes!
(10:31:52 PM): (Kou, Technica)
wyverncakes 10:33 pm
(10:33:20 PM): [Rosie] The two machines do crash together... but the Dreissan reacts fast. Remarkably so and stumbles back, right before swinging up its arm and firing a beam cannon shot at the Dewalt again!
(10:33:22 PM): (React: Rosie)
HyprKnux 1 10:33 pm
(10:33:31 PM): *With the Gelgoog's scattering, Kou takes aim at the one-armed Gelgoog wonder and planning on taking out its other arm with his Beam Rifle +
wyverncakes 10:33 pm
(10:33:35 PM): All the while, chatter begins to spring up on the radio.

Overman Zappa 10:34 pm
(10:34:11 PM): "AXEL START" comes from Technica's computer panel. The machine takes off at near Mach 1 speeds, as Technica aims his trajectory straight through camp, looking to take one along for the ride &

(10:35:05 PM): (shooting for a Drissen)
lichifruit 10:35 pm
(10:35:38 PM): *No time to focus on the counter. Rosie switched to defense. The DeWalt dives to the side. A beam weapon is going to go straigh through her.
(10:35:41 PM): +
wyverncakes 10:36 pm
(10:36:00 PM): [Kou] The shot is admittedly not as steady as Chris's, but still manages to sear off half of the limb... but immediately you're beset by its vulcan fire as the machine charges at you!
(10:36:04 PM): (React: Kou)
(10:36:59 PM): [Technica] A Dreissen's fast... but not THAT fast! You manage to grab the Dreissen, but then it thrusts bosts its arms up to blast at you with its forearm-mounted beam cannons!
lichifruit 10:37 pm
(10:37:04 PM): In her focus to dodge, she almost missed it... but she didn't; someone somewhere here, but distant, someone who heard her words...

(10:37:16 PM): No.
lichifruit 10:37 pm
(10:37:41 PM): She had to believe that sense of recognition she empathically felt was recognition of _her name._
wyverncakes 10:37 pm
(10:37:49 PM): [Rosie] And the DeWalt just barely makes the save... and it ends up falling right in front of a garage just as the door to it begins to opne.
(10:37:50 PM): ^open.

wyverncakes 10:38 pm
(10:38:16 PM): "You weren't there when we fucked up this bitch's base something FIERCE!"
lichifruit 10:38 pm
(10:38:25 PM): The DeWalt slams its hand into the garage, trying to rebalance itself--
Overman Zappa 10:38 pm
(10:38:29 PM): *Beam canons meat ABC Scarf! Raising it over his arm and interposing it like a shield! With it's arms raised, once Technica gets point blank, it'll be time for a Mach 1 knee to the cockpit.
wyverncakes 10:38 pm

(10:38:38 PM): http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/ex-revue/ms-19.htm
(10:39:03 PM): And standing in the hangar is a strange red machine with somewhat Zeon design, which just casually kicks the DeWalt away effortlessly
(10:39:10 PM): Hey Rosie, you know that bastard in the Realdo from before?
(10:39:13 PM): Yeah, that's him in there
lichifruit 10:39 pm
(10:39:35 PM): She wouldn't forget it. She recognized that man's heart.
wyverncakes 10:40 pm
(10:40:10 PM): [Kou] The two machines crash together and you manage to bowl over it. Inexperienced though you may be, GP-01's a cut above any kind of Gelgoog!
Overman Zappa 10:40 pm
(10:40:29 PM): (that's a + for my action)
lichifruit 10:40 pm
(10:40:38 PM): As the kick slams the DeWalt into the ground ... Feeling the waves of his soul inside her, it was like a chemical reaction transformed her into... into _wrath._
wyverncakes 10:41 pm
(10:41:00 PM): [Technica] The set of six beam shots point-blank still scar the scarf somewhat, but not enough to take the Type-T down... and from there it's an easy kick to blow it apart!
(10:41:26 PM): The Dolmel fleshes its muscles a little bit as the pilot inside it laughs.
Overman Zappa 10:41 pm
(10:41:28 PM): (damage check? What happened to it)
wyverncakes 10:41 pm

(10:42:21 PM): (Rosie)
(10:43:39 PM): (Updated enemy headcount: 3 Gelgoogs (1 delimbed and trampled on), 2 Dreissans, Dolmel)
NightlitEquinox 10:43 pm
(10:43:56 PM): (Are there any unmanned Mobile Suits in the area?)
HyprKnux 1 10:43 pm
(10:43:59 PM): Kou: "Ha! Got you!" That was easier than he though... but now another suit?
wyverncakes 10:44 pm
(10:44:14 PM): (You'd have to look inside one of the garages)
(10:44:26 PM): (Or you could try your luck with the delimbed Gelgoog Kou trampled on)
NightlitEquinox 10:44 pm
(10:44:30 PM): (Okay, just making sure there weren't any with easy access.)
lichifruit 10:44 pm
(10:44:50 PM): *The DeWalt's golden wrecking ball's thrusters roared, launching it forwardard as the machine began to sprint at that red mobile suit.
wyverncakes 10:45 pm
(10:45:32 PM): (+?)
lichifruit 10:45 pm
(10:45:44 PM): She screamed over the open comms, radiating hate. It felt hot, like being too close a roaring fire.+
wyverncakes 10:47 pm
(10:47:06 PM): [Rosie] Meanwhile, the guy on the other end's just laughing as the Dolmel's shoulder spikes suddenly begin to glow red hot and it charges. The golden wrecking ball gets impaled on them, stopping it cold, and then the machine just grabs that chain and yanks on it to throw you into the hangar.
(10:47:10 PM): React: Rosie.
(10:47:38 PM): Mercenary 3: "Christ! You REALLY do hate me don't you! That weird... mind thing I heard about with you... it's the real deal!"
(10:47:51 PM): "Kinda turns me on a little bit, come to think of it...)
(10:47:53 PM): ^"
(10:48:02 PM): (MEANWHILE: David, Chris)
NightlitEquinox 10:49 pm
(10:49:28 PM): *While that guy is busy worrying about Rosie, David turns the barrel slightly, and takes aim. His goal? To cause a shockwave behind the guy and knock him a little off balance so Rosie can get a few good whacks in. +
(10:50:37 PM): (If not behind, either flank will do just as well.)
lichifruit 10:50 pm
(10:50:54 PM): *As the DeWalt is pulled past the red Dolmel, she throws the controls hard, the spinning drill on its arm trying to clothesline the mobile suit.+
(10:51:23 PM): "You wanna be chained to me!? It's your funeral!" Her voice comes out in gutteral growls.
lichifruit 10:51 pm
(10:51:43 PM): @ David (waiting for action resolutions though)
Nerdorama09 10:52 pm
(10:52:08 PM): * Still on the periphery of the fight, Chris lines up her shield with one of the Gelgoog Jaegers and charges toward it, firing two shots from her beam rifle from behind the shield's protection.+
wyverncakes 10:53 pm
(10:53:11 PM): [David and Rosie] David's shot actually does knock it off balance a little, causing it to let go of its chain... and although he shifts focus on the tank... it's only for a moment as he sees that drill coming at him. "Still using fucking construction materials?" he laughs, just as the Dolmel swings its arm up almost to block it... right before a beam saber shoots out of its arm cannon and shears the top quarter of the drill clean off! So much for that clothesline!
(10:53:15 PM): (Continue: Rosie)
NightlitEquinox 10:54 pm
(10:54:10 PM): (For the record the Tank is pretty far away, as far as it can be and still fire on the general area.)
wyverncakes 10:54 pm
(10:54:26 PM): [Chris] The Gelgoogs, on the meantime, are much more focused on the Alex, trying to skirt around the shots before one gets pegged right beneath the shoulder, leaving a smoking hole while it's still functioning.
(10:54:35 PM): (Yuunagi, Kou)
(10:54:39 PM): AND AT THE SAME TIME!
(10:54:45 PM): ... BERNIE!
lichifruit 10:54 pm
(10:54:49 PM): *Even with the front end of the drill taken off, she kicks around on the DeWalts footing to use that massive drill as a club and grinder...
(10:55:25 PM): *reeling in on the Dolmel by the chain connecting them. "I do things my way!"
wyverncakes 10:55 pm
(10:55:38 PM): Here you were, with Robert (that guy in that Xamel, remember), and trying to find a way to help take the heat off of Gato.!
lichifruit 10:55 pm
(10:55:53 PM): *And she grapples with the machine if able, slamming into it as many times as possible.+
wyverncakes 10:55 pm
(10:55:56 PM): And here you find the White Chalice people engaged in a group of what looks to be Zeon mobile suits!
lichifruit 10:56 pm
(10:56:08 PM): To anyone watching, it is clear that she has forgotten any mission you all came to accomplish.
wyverncakes 10:56 pm
(10:56:28 PM): You've got a spiffy new Zaku just like your old one and your good pal Robert's backing you up... and even those two other Gundams from Freetown are there too!
(10:56:37 PM): (Bernie: Wanna dynamic entry?)
HyprKnux 1 10:56 pm
(10:56:51 PM): *Gelgoogs. Dreissens. That odd-ball Zeon suit. Kou's a little lost as to which to pick. In the end, he takes aim at one of the Dreiseens, following Chris's pace and using his shield as a barrier as he fires at the beefy Doms+
Atrament Corel 10:57 pm
(10:57:20 PM): *Yuunagi is going to provide air support for the Alex, directing the Crow Machinegun at the Gelgoogs and launching a hail of shots at them while preparing the Prava launcher.&
lichifruit 10:57 pm
(10:57:58 PM): ((Where is everything roughly occuring? Fighting outside of buildings, Rosie and this guy basically in the doorway of a garage?))
NightlitEquinox 10:58 pm
(10:58:10 PM): David quickly loads another concussive shell. He figures he will do better as interference here than actually being destructive.
wyverncakes 10:58 pm
(10:58:14 PM): [Rosie] That arm-mounted beam saber cuts through the chain first thing, and from there it just stumbles back, weathering your smashes as best it can. Its armor is being damaged bit by bit, but you're not getting much bang for your buck and the Dolmel then just grabs the DeWalt and hurls it into the hangar!
wyverncakes 10:58 pm
(10:58:44 PM): (Yes, Lichi. The Dolmel and DeWalt are right in front of a garage)
(10:59:24 PM): (And now the DeWalt's in that garage)
lichifruit 10:59 pm
(10:59:32 PM): Rosie: "Ugh!"
Saraanne13 10:59 pm
(10:59:53 PM): Reinforcements?! Maybe. A big shadow covers the gundam Alex, and suddenly, machine gun fire rains down on Alex. Above is a Zaku II Kai. It's eye glows+
wyverncakes 11:00 pm
(11:00:04 PM): There's a loud crunching noise as you hear SOMETHING break... probably something not good, and the screen's still functioning enough for you to see the Dolmel slowly approaching you, both of its arm blades still functioning.
(11:00:25 PM): The hangar itself is almost bare, but off in the other corner there's something big... something mobile-suit sized, under a tarp...
lichifruit 11:00 pm
(11:00:49 PM): Rosie: "D-David! You stay the hell out of this! He's my mark, and I'm taking him down, no matter the cost! You got that!?"
Overman Zappa 11:00 pm
(11:00:50 PM): #? (for Chris)
NightlitEquinox 11:00 pm
(11:00:51 PM): # Rosie
(11:01:05 PM): David ignores Rosie for the moment.
Nerdorama09 11:01 pm
(11:01:06 PM): (You can go ahead if it's alright with Steam)
wyverncakes 11:01 pm
(11:01:10 PM): [Kou] The Dreissen's speed is above the Gelgoog's though, and it begins to try to dance around your shots, spiraling closer and closer... right before it slashes at you with its tomahawk!
(11:01:12 PM): (React: Kou)
(11:02:00 PM): [Yuunagi] More fire, this time from the air! Well crap, now those Gelgoogs KNOW to watch out for you, and the two haul out their beam rifles and open fire on you once more!
(11:02:05 PM): (React/Continue: Yuunagi)
(11:02:22 PM): (React to that Zaku, Chris)
(11:02:39 PM): (No to Chris's support defend, yes to Rosie's)
Overman Zappa 11:02 pm
(11:02:47 PM): ( o7 )
lichifruit 11:02 pm
(11:02:57 PM): Rosie was raging, but she was feeling it. Fear, and exultation also came pouring out of her as she looked over the dashboard of the construction mech.
(11:03:06 PM): ((Approximate condition?))
Nerdorama09 11:03 pm
(11:03:33 PM): Chris: "A Zaku?"
HyprKnux 1 11:03 pm
(11:03:35 PM): *With a grunt, Kou releases his shield, letting it take the hit, and pushing back to gain distance from the unit. He holsters the beam rifle and goes for the beam saber. If he wants to fight in close, he's ready for it!+
wyverncakes 11:03 pm
(11:03:41 PM): The DeWalt's lower motor functions are pretty much *gone*. Its arms still work... but that's about it.
Nerdorama09 11:03 pm
(11:03:59 PM): * Gundam Alex breaks off its attack, raising its shield above its head and trying to get out of the line of fire.+
Atrament Corel 11:04 pm
(11:04:24 PM): *As expected, and Yuunagi's prepared for them too. The disorienting afterimages of the Straybird weave a trail through the sky as it does its best to avoid those attacks, and simultaneously, it fires two Prava grenades at one of the Gelgoogs.+
wyverncakes 11:04 pm
(11:04:34 PM): [Kou] The shield gets carved apart without much difficulty, but the Dreissen gets nothing more, and in fact its weapon is matched by a beam saber! A fight's on now!
NightlitEquinox 11:04 pm
(11:04:54 PM): *David shoots the dolmel directly in the torso with the concussive round as it approaches, on the side away from the DeWalt if possible. He isn't gonna let Rosie take it all herself! He has his revenge to get to! Also, she wasn't in any position to claim she was winning, and she couldn't get revenge if she was dead! +
wyverncakes 11:05 pm
(11:05:39 PM): [Yuunagi] The shots hurtle down just in time... and that Gelgoog gets blown apart with no trouble whatsoever! But at the same time, one lucky shot does find its mark... and the Straybird's left wing is blasted off by one beam rifle shot!
(11:06:48 PM): [David] The shot does slam into the Dolmel, sending it careening onto the ground. Not that you can see the damage done Rosie... but it's been tied up for the moment!
(11:06:57 PM): (Technica, Rosie)
Overman Zappa 11:07 pm
(11:07:20 PM): (grunt headcount?)
lichifruit 11:07 pm
(11:07:31 PM): She was out gunned... she knew that going into this...
wyverncakes 11:07 pm
(11:07:39 PM): (Dolmel, 2 Dreissans, 1 Gelgoog)
lichifruit 11:07 pm
(11:07:44 PM): on reflection, being inside of a garage was an improvement.
wyverncakes 11:07 pm
(11:07:46 PM): (That's on Red)
Atrament Corel 11:07 pm
(11:07:51 PM): Yuunagi is going to try to maintain stability while he descends, so as not to strain the other wing. He's not out of the fight yet, but it looks like avoiding ground combat won't be possible.
wyverncakes 11:07 pm
(11:07:52 PM): (Yellow: Bernie's Zaku)
lichifruit 11:08 pm
(11:08:09 PM): Her terrain situation couldn't have gotten worse really...
wyverncakes 11:08 pm
(11:08:21 PM): [Chris] The shield does manage to repel the machine gun fire without much trouble
lichifruit 11:08 pm
(11:08:25 PM): so she started with quickly scanning her surroundings.&
(11:08:44 PM): The DeWalt used its arms to turn its body if necessary.
Overman Zappa 11:09 pm
(11:09:12 PM): "AXEL OVER" Well shit... Whatev! Technica still has tricks. Picking up on a distracted Dreissan, the Type-T whips out two of it's weapons as guns and starts taking pot shots at it while closing in the distance&
wyverncakes 11:10 pm
(11:10:04 PM): [Rosie] With the condition the DeWalt is in, there's not much range for it... but it's definitely detecting that there's a mobile suit-like machine, under that tarp covering up a mobile suit-sized object. Who knew?
(11:10:09 PM): (Continue: Rosie)
lichifruit 11:10 pm
(11:10:32 PM): A mobile suit.
(11:10:41 PM): Loathe as she was to do it, she needed bigger guns.
wyverncakes 11:11 pm
(11:11:11 PM): [Technica] With the sudden drop in speed, the Dreissan was now the hare to the Technica's tortoise, but the constant stream of fire still forces it on the evasion as you work on closing the distance!
(11:11:16 PM): (Continue: Technica)
lichifruit 11:11 pm
(11:11:42 PM): *Rosie kicked open the cockpit and started tearing her way over to climb under that tarp.
wyverncakes 11:12 pm
(11:12:29 PM): (New lineup: David, Chris, Yuunagi, Kou, Bernie, Technica, Rosie)
lichifruit 11:12 pm
(11:12:44 PM): It was humanoid that was for sure...
Overman Zappa 11:13 pm
(11:13:07 PM): *Flipping one of the guns, it goes for an axe to the shoulder, while keeping fire on it in the other hand, trying to blow out it's head/camera &
lichifruit 11:13 pm
(11:13:08 PM): she stared at the metal body, looking for where one boarded. Ah. Between the legs.
(11:13:32 PM): She almost stopped as she noticed a short... model number? Painted on the side of the body...
(11:13:41 PM): "151-E"
wyverncakes 11:14 pm
(11:14:12 PM): [Technica] The axe is stopped by a beam tomahawk of the Dreissan's, and although you do manage to blow off its head, the enemy machine still manages to take your arm in response!
lichifruit 11:14 pm
(11:14:19 PM): It made her think of her master.
wyverncakes 11:14 pm
(11:14:33 PM): (Continue: Technica)
lichifruit 11:14 pm
(11:14:37 PM): "... Ichigoichie." Once In A Lifetime Encounter. ...
(11:14:44 PM): Something to be treasured, or dreaded.
(11:15:03 PM): She pulled the emergency open on the cockpit and climbed in.
(11:15:17 PM): There was a helmet connected to some wires. That was different.
wyverncakes 11:15 pm
(11:15:17 PM): Meanwhile, a voice crackles over on Bernie's comm!
lichifruit 11:15 pm
(11:15:25 PM): She therw it over her head and began trying to start the machine up.
(11:15:34 PM): Good thing controls were relatively standardized...
(11:15:35 PM): +
wyverncakes 11:15 pm
(11:15:41 PM): Robert: "Bernie! I'm starting to wonder if these guys are Zeon!"
Overman Zappa 11:15 pm
(11:15:43 PM): *Don't need an arm for this. "EXCEED CHARGE - COMPLETE" The Technica lifts a foot, ignoring the loss of an arm "PLASMA DISASTER!"
Boot to the hea--Chest. Boot to the Chest+!
