Aero (23:01:45): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYn2Q-kVNAk
Aero (23:02:23): LA GIAS, GREEN GRASSY PLAINS, A WEIRD DYSON SPHERE THAT EXISTS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EARTH. (But not literally)
Aero (23:03:05): You've been asked to assist Shu Shirakawa with an extremely cagey plan that he's barely given any details about. How are you all doing as you fly over a strangely long section of water?
tengusaur (23:03:38): Asagi: "This place is weird... Are we really inside Earth's crust?"
tengusaur (23:03:52): Asagi: "I expected it to look more like a cave."
tormterra (23:03:58): Kei was floating over the surprisingly mundane looking landscape that was somehow inside the world despite everything shë́'d ever been taught. "It doesn't seem like it. There's even sunlight here."
cubey@aol.pl (23:04:20): Denzel: "It's the truth. Trust me, we've been here before."
Meraxa (23:05:03): Ken broods a bit. He doesn't much trust Shu to begin with, and well... much as he got swept up in the competitive spirit, he's still a bit put off by the recent arrivals too. "So if we dug deep enough from the surface we'd end up invading another country?"
Wyverncakes (23:05:09): Elma: "Of course, there's stil so much to learn about all of this."
Ginkan SK (23:05:09): Russel's here checking out La Gias over his canners. He was wary of Shu to say the least he had to wonder what was going on. Either way he'd play along for now right? "It could be a pocket dimension, or another dimenional all together that's tied to ours."
Wyverncakes (23:05:33): "I haven't even gotten through a tenth of Professor Anzai's writings about the issue!"
Wyverncakes (23:05:59): Selena: "Just don't get distracted with that while we're here, Elma."
Wyverncakes (23:06:12): She's running her last few little tune-ups on the Gesterben.
cubey@aol.pl (23:06:15): The Glory Stars trio are coasting along the water's surface. Looks like Shu's got their help this time.
griefgathering (23:06:42): And it's not long before a video of the Professor himself shows up on your units' screens via a transmission. "All units look fine so far. Before we go any closer, I will begin with a brief review of the mission plan."
tengusaur (23:06:59): Asagi: "They already know about us and don't like us. I don't think an invasion would make things much worse..."
tormterra (23:07:04): Kei: "How can you be sure it's inside the Earth just because you've been here before? We could just as well be on another planet." It'd probably cause less harm to science education anyway
griefgathering (23:07:38): Chika: "You'll have more time to look at the place later."
tengusaur (23:07:38): Asagi: "Right. I'm listening!" Blue One stops in mid-air abruptly.
Wyverncakes (23:07:56): Albhard: "Continue, Dr. Shirakawa."
cubey@aol.pl (23:08:16): Denzel: "You can never be sure. Looks like we'll have to trust our gut feeling for now."
griefgathering (23:08:49): Shu: "There will be a total of ten mobile fortresses in this detachment, escorted by an unknown number of Shutedonias Masouki, and other Earth machines."
griefgathering (23:09:28): Shu: "The objective is located within one of these ships - the largest cache of captured weapons that Shutedonias has managed to acquire."
tengusaur (23:09:50): Asagi: "Do we know which one? Or will we have to check one by one?"
tormterra (23:10:10): Kei: "How will we find it if we don't know what it is?"
griefgathering (23:10:24): Shu: "It will likely be the slowest, and the rear-most fortress."
griefgathering (23:10:42): Shu: "Which means you will have to break through the enemy lines to reach it."
cubey@aol.pl (23:11:04): Toby: "So the one that is hardest to reach? This is just getting better and better, doesn't it."
tormterra (23:11:04): Kei: "Wouldn't they keep it at the center of the formation to better escort it?"
griefgathering (23:11:29): Shu: "The rest of the vessels will not be weighed down by the equipment."
tengusaur (23:11:34): Asagi: "Maybe they know attackers can only come from one direction... The one we're going to take."
Meraxa (23:11:52): Ken: Never know, they could adjust their speeds to mask the slowdown.
Wyverncakes (23:12:12): Albhard: "They won't be able to mask other things though."
Meraxa (23:12:32): Ken: Some kind of energy signature?
Wyverncakes (23:12:41): Selena: "Tronium, for one."
Meraxa (23:12:52): Ken: Hm...
griefgathering (23:12:57): Shu: "On top of that, Chika will provide you with indicators for each ship. She has been monitoring them since we arrived."
griefgathering (23:13:22): Chika: "And still am. Surprisingly!"
tengusaur (23:13:27): Asagi: "Chika can do that?"
tengusaur (23:13:35): Asagi: "I didn't know."
griefgathering (23:13:42): Chika: "I even put down names for them!"
Wyverncakes (23:13:45): Elma: "I actually am surprised you're still doing that, too."
Wyverncakes (23:13:51): "Did Shu have to pay you first?"
tormterra (23:13:53): Kei: "I thought she was just a talking bird." And she still couldn't believe that a talking bird was something to say "just" about
Wyverncakes (23:13:55): OH DEAR SHOTS FIRED.
cubey@aol.pl (23:14:57): Setsuko: "Ah. Please don't argue right now!" She was stressed out already, last thing the group needs is a mascot fight.
griefgathering (23:15:19): Chika: "Let's see you keep that up while everything is going on scarecrow!"
Wyverncakes (23:15:23): Selena just smiles pleasantly and wraps on Elma's head.
griefgathering (23:16:13): Shu: "...There is one last thing."
griefgathering (23:16:42): Shu: "I am marking a radius around the Granzon on your interactive maps."
Meraxa (23:16:57): Ken: ...What for?
griefgathering (23:17:04): Shu: "Do not, under any circumstances, enter this range."
griefgathering (23:17:22): And with this he sounds particularly serious.
tengusaur (23:17:23): Asagi: "...Is your mech radioactive and we only learn about it now?"
cubey@aol.pl (23:17:32): Setsuko: "It is about the talk we had earlier, doctor Shirakawa. Isn't it?"
Wyverncakes (23:17:41): Albhard: "Most likely."
griefgathering (23:17:45): Shu: "Correct, Setsuko."
Ginkan SK (23:17:48): Russel "Understood, I'll keep out of range then." Russel's keenly aware of what Shu's machine can do after all.
Wyverncakes (23:17:50): "If it's the same thing he mentioned to Selena and myself."
tormterra (23:18:00): Kei: "Understood. I'll keep track of everyone's position." Better than to repeat Asagi's question, Shu hadn't exactly tried to install confidence in them. "What was the talk about?"
griefgathering (23:18:12): Shu: "With that said, let us not waste more time."
griefgathering (23:18:38): The Granzon boosts off ahead.
cubey@aol.pl (23:18:43): Setsuko: "The Granzon has a very powerful area-hitting weapon, but after firing it the whole unit will shut down."
cubey@aol.pl (23:18:54): Setsuko: "So... doctor Shirakawa will be a sitting duck once he uses it."
Wyverncakes (23:18:55): Albhard: "Firing it twice."
tengusaur (23:19:06): Asagi: "Let's hope we won't have to resort to that, then."
Meraxa (23:19:07): Ken: ...How considerate.
tormterra (23:19:44): Kei: "Understood. I'll keep it in mind in providing directions."
Wyverncakes (23:19:56): Selena: "If he's forced to use it that second time though, don't be afraid to hang back though and support him."
Wyverncakes (23:20:28): "Albhard and I've had our fair share of operations similar to this. Admittedly with the rest of the team..."
Aero (23:24:38): Once you all finally speed up the coast approaches rapidly, how convenient. The ten large land battleships are clearly visible along with a large host of both Masouki and some familiar machines. The battleships are all even conveniently labeled thanks to Chika.
Aero (23:24:46): [Enemy List: Ship 1 (Feoh), Ship 2 (Uruz), Ship 3 (Thurisaz), Ship 4 (Ansuz)
Ship 5 (Laguz) Ship 6 (Kenaz), Ship 7 (Gifu), Ship 8 (Wynn), Ship 9 (Hagal)
Ship 10 (Nauthiz) 30x Baform, 15x Gildora, 20x Barrelion]
Baform: http://i.imgur.com/cKUbeto.jpg

Barrelion: http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101109005148/superrobotwars/images/5/5a/Barralion.jpg
Aero (23:24:53): [Initiative: Kei, Asagi, Team ???ba, Shu, Russel, Ken, Glory Stars]
Aero (23:25:03): [Kei, Asagi and Team Somethingba can all go]
Aero (23:25:14): [The Barrelions are also in classic DC Yellow]
Wyverncakes (23:25:44): Selena: "Barrelions..."
cubey@aol.pl (23:26:00): Setsuko: "They really are using surface equipment."
Wyverncakes (23:26:07): Albhard: "Well that's one way for the DC to drop off the radar: literally drop into another world."
griefgathering (23:26:11): Chika: "Listen up. The 4th ship is the one carrying the loot!"
griefgathering (23:26:23): Chika: "Don't lose it, because I might."
Wyverncakes (23:26:39): Elma: "Don't worry, I won't."
griefgathering (23:26:56): Chika: "You totally will!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:27:10): Denzel: "Roger that. Form on me, Glory Stars! Heh... not everyday you take objectives from a small bird."
griefgathering (23:27:15): Chika: "It's just a chance for me!"
Wyverncakes (23:27:23): Selena: "If it's that much closer, so much the better."
tormterra (23:28:04): (What is the terrain like? Still open sea?)
tormterra (23:28:22): (And if so, how are the non-flyers moving?)
Aero (23:28:33): [You're coming in from the open sea but they're on land, very coastal some sand.]
tormterra (23:28:55): (And flat and open?)
Aero (23:29:12): [Pretty much, that's all the land La Gias has]
tengusaur (23:29:25): * Asagi: "Alright. I'll take on the heavy artillery!" Blue One's boosters flare up, and the AHSMB draws its katana in one somewhat show-offy gesture and rushes forward! Asagi aims for the Barellions, jumping between them one after another nimbly, cutting the large barrels with his sword to sever them! +
Wyverncakes (23:29:50): * The Gespenst and Gesterben charge in. No reason to bother talking right now, not when the presence of the Granzon will take care of that. Rocketing over the ocean's waves, Selena pulls out the Stealth Boomerang and throws it at the Barrelions! "Okay, Elma, you know what to do!" And the thrusters that kick on give the projectile an arcing course!+
tormterra (23:30:19): * "Everyone, maintain formation as we go in. Our target is the fourth ship, but we need to be able to reach it safely. Glory Stars, try to avoid going in too deep, there is no cover to retreat to. Instead try to snipe at some of the short range units to open a path for Asagi." +
tengusaur (23:30:25): (can we get an image of these ships or something?)
cubey@aol.pl (23:30:45): Denzel: "You heard her, guys!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:30:53): Setsuko: "Roger, commencing covering fire!"
Wyverncakes (23:31:36): (Srwog.velv.net givs us: http://srwog.velv.net/mecha_images/mobilefortress.png)
cubey@aol.pl (23:31:55): *Continuing to coast on the waves, the Virgola units cover the free space between them and the enemy formation with a barrage of ray pistol fire. Their target - the Baform masouki!+
Aero (23:31:59): [My old link no longer works...]
cubey@aol.pl (23:32:27): Toby: "These are some crazy looking machines they have there, I wonder what can they do?"
Ginkan SK (23:33:28): Russel spots the Barrel Lion's. "Old DC units? What are we loking at here... it's a full out army here."
Aero (23:33:35): [Asagi] Two of the Barrelions are cleaved in two, before you can carve up any more of them something flies in at you extremely quickly, stopping your blade with his own. It parries away your sword and swings in with it's own. [React]
Aero (23:33:39): http://srwog.velv.net/mecha_images/guarlionmumyo.png
Aero (23:33:42): ^Said unit
Aero (23:35:34): [Team Jelba] Being slightly distracted by Asagi the boomerang stealths through cutting apart several of the Barrelions. However, like with Asagi you're also interupted by something. A barrage of missiles that seems to be homing in on you. [React]
tengusaur (23:36:05): * Asagi: "They're stolen from the surface! And... ugh! What is this unit?" Blue One jumps to the side slightly, not just to dodge the strike but to get in a better position to raise the katana in a defense, to make the enemy's blade slide off Asagi's own blade harmlessly! If that works, at least... +
Wyverncakes (23:36:21): Albhard: "Selena, missiles!"
Wyverncakes (23:36:30): Selena: "On it, on it!"
Aero (23:37:03): [Kei/Glory Stars] The Baforms are lightly damaged and quickly return fire with what seems to be a barrage of grenades. [React Glory Stars]
Aero (23:37:41): [Shu Russel and Ken can all go]
Wyverncakes (23:37:52): * The two machines form up, Selena whipping out the Gesterben's machinegun and unloading on the projectiles as the jammer works overtime to try to throw off the missiles. But just in case that doesn't handle it, Albhard's Gespenst fires a plasma cannon blast from its chest into the crowd!+
cubey@aol.pl (23:38:08): Setsuko: "Don't engage, keep your distance!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:38:21): Toby: "Yaho.... I mean, sure, sure."
Meraxa (23:39:07): Ken: Come on! *Ken finally arrives to the shore! ...With ScarleTiger dragging itself on land after a rather pathetic doggy paddle across the sea. The tiger like machine shakes itself to throw off the water, before charging towards the closest Baform, pouncing to slash with its claws and bite with its teeth!+
cubey@aol.pl (23:39:09): *The three mobile suits change their direction and back off, while continuing to shoot at the grenades to make them detonate.+
griefgathering (23:39:36): Shu: (UG comms) "Beginning routing procedure and moving into position."
Aero (23:40:41): [Asagi] Too late for Asagi, the Guarlion draws a second small knife and knocks away the defending katana before striking Blue One with the larger katana, carving a deep wound into the machine.
griefgathering (23:40:54): *The Granzon speeds up just enough to go past the front attackers, right into the sights of the ten enemy ships.+
Ginkan SK (23:41:41): Russel is going to go tangle with the barrel lions, slow moving field guns on waddling legs. He fires off a twin pair of split missile pods at the Barrel Lions as he closes in.+
Aero (23:41:42): [Team Jelba] The missiles are taken care of, but that just seems to have been a distraction. A ridiculously large Armored Module is flying at you and firing a bunch of what seems to be Graviton Shots. [React AGAIN]
Aero (23:41:55): http://srwog.velv.net/mecha_images/vegalion.png
Aero (23:41:59): ^Said AM
tengusaur (23:42:06): Asagi: "Argh! This guy is good!"
Wyverncakes (23:42:17): Albhard: "Break!"
Aero (23:42:55): [Ken] That poor Baform is basically reduced to a ball of yarn. The Masouki is torn apart easily but respond quickly...by firing a tornado at you. [React]
Wyverncakes (23:43:20): * The two PTs go in opposite directions! "Elma, thinking what I'm thinking?" "Right!" And the previously-thrown Stealth Boomerang suddenly alters course, heading towards the Vegalion to catch it by surprise!+
Wyverncakes (23:43:46): Selena: "... Actually, I was going to ask if it was piloted by someone's rival... what with the red color."
tengusaur (23:44:33): Asagi: "Did whatever Izuru has spread to other people...?"
tormterra (23:45:01): Kei: "Looks like it..."
cubey@aol.pl (23:45:11): Denzel: "These guys look like pros, don't take them lightly!"
Meraxa (23:45:20): Ken: ...I'll try it! *Ken sees if he can perhaps run beyond the Tornado's reach...!+
Aero (23:46:01): [Selena] And the AM easily veers out of the path of the Stealth Boomerang. It's like the thing had two Tesla Drives or something. It even has time to fire out more shots that actually hit the two of you. Severely damaging a few systems.
Aero (23:46:54): [Russel] Since the Guarlion is busy with Asagi the missiles find their target and take out a few more Barrelions. They finally manage to get their sights on you though so large railgun fire incoming. [React Russel]
Wyverncakes (23:47:11): Selena: "Tch...!"
Wyverncakes (23:47:49): Yeah, for something without limbs it certainly packed a punch.
Aero (23:47:51): [Glory Stars] Well it's a good thing you didn't let those touch you. When they detonate it turns it they all contained Napalm. Lots and lots of Napalm.
Aero (23:48:27): [Ken] You safely get away, turns out they don't have a lot of control over the Tornado and it misses you completely.
Aero (23:48:52): [Shu] Well since you're charging ahead into 10 Battleships they do the logical thing...and all fire at the Granzon and only the Granzon. [React]
Aero (23:49:07): [Kei, Asagi, and Team LosingToSleighBa can all go]
Aero (23:49:29): [Enemy List: Ship 1 (Feoh), Ship 2 (Uruz), Ship 3 (Thurisaz), Ship 4 (Ansuz)
Ship 5 (Laguz) Ship 6 (Kenaz), Ship 7 (Gifu), Ship 8 (Wynn), Ship 9 (Hagal)
Ship 10 (Nauthiz) 29x Baform, 15x Gildora, 12x Barrelion, Vegalion, Guarlion Mumyou]
cubey@aol.pl (23:49:46): (Didn't you forget some people?)
Aero (23:49:53): [GLORY STARS CAN GO FIRST]
Aero (23:49:57): [BEFORE ALL THOSE GUYS]
Aero (23:50:01): [TAKE TWO TURNS]
tengusaur (23:50:18): Asagi: "The Granzon is doing a suicide rush!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:50:52): Denzel: "No...."
cubey@aol.pl (23:50:59): Denzel: "It can take it."
Wyverncakes (23:51:09): Albhard: "It'd better."
griefgathering (23:51:19): *Seeing as all the power is being routed from the other weapons, Shu responds by raising the Warp Field.+
tengusaur (23:51:24): Asagi: "I hope you're right about this!"
tormterra (23:51:24): Kei: "Understood. Keep the rest pinned down to protect it."
cubey@aol.pl (23:51:37): Toby: "Here's some relief, Asagi!"
Wyverncakes (23:52:02): Selena: "Can do. Albhard, think you can push that Gespenst to the limit?"
Wyverncakes (23:52:13): Albhard: "You know it!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:52:54): *Virgola unit 2 jumps into the air - and attacks Mumyou with a roundhouse kick! Virgola unit 1 jumped as well, and Denzel slams his Carver down on the (hopefully staggered) custom Guarlion's back.&
Aero (23:53:02): [Shu] The barrage just lays into the Granzon. Smoke quickly covers the area from the sheer amount of ordinance that they're firing at the Blue Demon. In fact...it doesn't seem like they're going to stop any time soon.
tormterra (23:53:04): * "Asagi, keep focusing on the enemy you're facing, it's too dangerous to turn away from. Try to force it to stay stationary for a second. Russel, Glory Stars, stay ready for the moment to fire before it can retreat." +
cubey@aol.pl (23:53:40): (Will incorporate Kei's command action into my continue if it's alright)
Aero (23:53:53): [Yup]
Ginkan SK (23:54:35): Russel "No I think it's the other way around Asagi."
tengusaur (23:54:40): * Asagi: "You don't need to tell me that, Kei!" The enemy is distracted by Toby's maneuver? Good! Asagi uses this opportunity to quickly switch weapons to his spear - hopefully the enemy doesn't expect this! He attacks from the side, by swinging the blade twice in long circular swings and then following with a two-handed stab! +
Aero (23:54:47): [Glory Stars] Mumyou responds by raising it's Shishio Blade and cleaving that leg clean off. Unfortunately it can't react to Denzel on time and the Guarlion is sent flying towards the ground. [Continue and yes]
Wyverncakes (23:54:58): * Though it lacked serious long-range weapons, the Type-G Gespenst DID still have amazing acceleration and speed, speed they'd need to catch the Vegalion's pilot off guard as the Team Jelba members pressed the attack once more. In a flash the Gespenst zooms towards the Vegalion, striking out with one of its Jet Magnum fists as the Gesterben moves from the opposite direction, opening fire with its Blade Railgun!&
Ginkan SK (23:55:03): Russel goes on the trying to dodge their fire and launches off some chaff to be on the safe side of things+
Aero (23:55:06): Shu things are getting pretty bad, if you keep up the warp field you won't b able to get into range.
cubey@aol.pl (23:55:33): Toby: "Setsuko!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:55:59): Denzel: "That's one to remember me by!"
Aero (23:56:02): [Russel] The Gespensts manages to dodge away from most of the shots, the few stray hits on the machine actually don't damage it as much as you would expect it to. Weird. [Feel free to take an action]
cubey@aol.pl (23:56:33): *Virgola unit 1 flips the Gunnery Carver in its hands and fires off a physical round to speed up Mumyou's descent. At the same time...
cubey@aol.pl (23:57:28): "Steady... steady... I have aim! Now!" *Setsuko fires Straight Turret bullets time and time again, having calculated the falling distance and speed so each one hits where the Guarlion should be during its fall.+
griefgathering (23:58:06): Chika: "This is going pretty badly!"
griefgathering (23:58:37): Shu: "We have their attention, that is good enough for now. The routing process will take some time."
Aero (23:58:51): [Oerba] Instead of slowing down the Vegalion instead chooses to speed up to meet the Gespenst. A Break Field forming on the machine as it does. The two clash head on, with the Vegalion using the Break FIeld to deflect those Blade Railgun shots. [Continue]
1 July 2014
Wyverncakes (00:00:29): Selena: "Now then... it's time...!"
Wyverncakes (00:00:30): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaVpOxB54i4
Aero (00:01:00): [Asagi and Glory Stars] Indeed he didn't, due to having to parry away your attacks all of Setsuko's shots hit cleanly. Tearing off large sections of the machine. However before the finishing shot can hit another Guarlion comes in from seemingly out of nowhere with it's Break Field and blocks the remaining bullets.
Aero (00:01:24): ???: "Oho, Shu Shirakawa and a member of the Steel Dragons nice to see you again."
Aero (00:01:30): http://www.mahq.net/mecha/srw/og1/dcam-006c-thomas.jpg
tengusaur (00:01:33): Asagi: "Good job, Glory Sta- another one?!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:02:22): Denzel: "This one knows who we are, too."
Aero (00:02:25): [Shu Russel Ken and Glory Stars can all go]
cubey@aol.pl (00:02:31): Virgola unit 2 falls heavily due to having only one leg. Oof.
Aero (00:02:35): [Oh wait no you can't Shu.]
cubey@aol.pl (00:02:42): Setsuko: "Toby?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:02:53): Toby: "I'm okay! You did well... gotta focus on the mission now!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:03:17): Denzel: "Way ahead of you."
Wyverncakes (00:03:31): * Upping the ante with its chest blaster is an option for Albhard, yes... but not one he takes as he instead smacks the Gespenst's fists together, charging energy up together before reach out to grasp and actually HOLD the Vegalion as best it can... as the Gesterben comes from behind and above, catching its Stealth Boomerang as it splits into two short swords! "CARVER TEMPEST!" And the Gesterben strikes from above to cut down the Armored Module!+
tormterra (00:03:31): Kei: "Everyone, make sure to protect Glory Star unit 2 safe during the battle."
cubey@aol.pl (00:04:02): *Virgola unit 1 charges its beam cannon mid-flight. As it falls down, it is already charged - Ray Straight Turret, FIRE! The target is ship 4's side and everything on its way, allies excluded.
cubey@aol.pl (00:04:04): +
cubey@aol.pl (00:04:26): Denzel: "This is why I'm the veteran. Don't underestimate the Glory Stars, Shutedonias."
tengusaur (00:05:23): Asagi: "I'll make sure he's safe!"
tengusaur (00:05:40): Asagi: "This new pilot... Anyone knows who that is?"
griefgathering (00:05:46): Shu: (to the newcomer) "Indeed I am. However, I don't remember who you are."
Meraxa (00:06:45): Ken: Old man, I'm using you for a boost! *Ken will... kind of oblige Kei's orders, as ScarleTiger leaps at Virgola Unit 2 from behind, and uses it for a boost to leap up!* Stand Up! *And the ScarleTiger shifts into its humanoid form in mid air, spinning as it draws its whip, which lashes out as a result as it falls into the fray of enemy Baforms!+
cubey@aol.pl (00:06:57): Setsuko: "It's the first time I see him!"
Aero (00:07:05): [Team Jelba] Just as the Vegalion manages to break through the Gespenst your blades slam into the machine, severely damaging one of it's Tesla Drives. At the same time it still manages to slam into the Gespenst and send it flying towards the ground with the chest of the machine almost completely collapsed in. The AM lingers for a moment but it soon retreats, knowing it can't continue on with just one Tesla Drive. [Alberhd Downed]
cubey@aol.pl (00:07:07): Toby: "Old, me? You hurt my heart Ken!"
Meraxa (00:07:24): Ken: You're getting married! That classes for old!
Aero (00:07:40): Thomas: "Are you serious, we were in the DC together. Did you hit your head or something?"
griefgathering (00:08:29): Chika: "Something along those lines!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:08:30): Toby: "I'm only engaged for now, don't hurry things up!"
tengusaur (00:08:40): Asagi: "...The Al-guy!"
Wyverncakes (00:09:06): Selena: "Albhard!"
tormterra (00:09:06): Kei: "Another one is down. Stay together and protect the downed people."
Wyverncakes (00:09:17): The Gespenst crashes, though fortunately...
Wyverncakes (00:09:24): Albhard: "I'm okay... I'm okay!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:09:25): Denzel: "Jelba team leader, respond! What's your status?!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:09:33): Denzel: "Ah, good."
Wyverncakes (00:09:43): "We get him though?"
Aero (00:10:05): [Glory Stars] The beam rips through the few Gildora brave enough to try to stop that beam. It hits Ship 4 clearly but only the outer hull of the ship seems damaged.
Wyverncakes (00:10:07): Selena takes a moment to calm down and then nods. "Red's retreating... so a good trade."
Aero (00:11:15): Thomas: "I'm pretty surprised though, I didn't think you guys would be helping Shu in all of this."
Wyverncakes (00:11:48): Selena: "We have our reasons."
Wyverncakes (00:12:03): "Getting us out of La Gias quickly was one of them."
cubey@aol.pl (00:12:21): Setsuko: "Why is a member of Divine Crusaders helping Shutedonias?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:12:27): She could say the same thing to Thomas, really.
tormterra (00:12:48): Kei: "I don't know...But clearly there's more going on. Do you have any answers, Dr. Shirakawa?"
Aero (00:12:54): [Ken] The whip lashes out and again easily takes out those weaker Baforms. There's still a lot of Barrelion's though and you just gave them a new target. [React to Railguns]
Aero (00:13:35): Thomas: "Don't you know? We're working with Shutedonia now. Just like how Langran is being helped out by the ESUN forces."
Ginkan SK (00:13:37): Russel is keenly aware he got pretty lucky all things considered and he bring the Gatling Guns built into his Gespenst's arms to bear agains the Barrel Lions, round after round is fired as he tries to bring them down. "I'll keep these guys buy... wait? That voice? Tomas?!"
Ginkan SK (00:13:39): +
Aero (00:14:16): Thomas: "You sound like you're seeing a ghost."
Meraxa (00:14:17): Ken: There-! *Ken realises with not much time left what is going on, and sees if he might be able to duck below their line of fire - given how railguns work - as he races towards their target ship+
griefgathering (00:14:46): Shu closes his eyes for a bit before addressing the enemy pilot again. "If we once fought together, I will extend you the same offer that I did for some of these people. A path back to the surface."
Aero (00:15:28): Thomas: "Tch, going back up there where I'll be wanted as a traitor to the ESUN? No thanks, I prefer it down here."
Wyverncakes (00:15:58): Selena: "Suit yourself."
cubey@aol.pl (00:16:07): Denzel: "Bastard tries to paint us the same as him, but in the end it's all about self-interest, huh."
Wyverncakes (00:16:14): "But don't break down and cry if things fall apart for you down here."
tormterra (00:16:23): While she didn't say anything, trying to keep track of the battle, Kei couldn't help but wonder just what the whole thing with the ESUN helping one side in the war was about. It certainly wasn't what she'd been told so far
tengusaur (00:16:25): Asagi: "Do you know what the Shutedonias do with surface pilots? Are you really okay with that?"
Aero (00:16:57): [Ken and Shoe and Russel] Since they changed targets the Gatling Guns eventually tear into the Barrelions, this gives Ken plenty of time to dodge those shots. However, the covering fire from those ships is coming down strong and one lands right in front of the Scarletiger and sends it right next to the pinned down Granzon. Now they can focus their fire....HOWEVER

Ginkan SK (00:17:26): Russel "Your Ryoto's old CO! Your the one who tried to turn his unit into a remote detonated bomb!"
Aero (00:17:46): Before it can get any worse a multi colored beam erupts through and creates a barrier between the ships and the two of you.
Meraxa (00:18:02): Ken: What in the-?
Aero (00:18:02): ???: "Hmph I knew I couldn't trust surfacers to protect Master Shu."
cubey@aol.pl (00:18:06): Setsuko: "Weren't we trying to minimize the interference in the war?"
Wyverncakes (00:18:15): Selena: "Surfacers?"

Wyverncakes (00:19:09): Selena: "A friend of yours, Shu?"
griefgathering (00:19:11): Chika: "Lady Saphine!"
Aero (00:19:13): ???: "How cruel of you Master Shu, you didn't even tell me - your loyal servant that you were alive again."
tengusaur (00:19:23): Asagi: "And one who sounds like this, too..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:19:46): Toby whistles.
Aero (00:19:58): She shows up on all of your screens.

Aero (00:20:05): Yes she's really wearing that.
tormterra (00:20:21): Kei: "...I was hoping there'd be a different explanation for it."
Meraxa (00:20:24): Ken: Uh... Hate to break it to you lady, but your 'Shu' doesn't rememb-b-b-b-b-b- *Ken stammers off*
Aero (00:20:27): Thomas: "Let's not bring up the past."
griefgathering (00:20:35): Shu: "My apologies, I seem to have forgotten who you are."
Aero (00:20:46): Saphine just freezes.
tengusaur (00:21:16): Asagi: "Errr..." Super awkward mode, go. "What have I stepped into...?"
Wyverncakes (00:21:16): Selena: "... You know, even if Shu doesn't know who she is, I think we can trust her."
Wyverncakes (00:21:23): "At the very least, she's got a great fashion sense."
Aero (00:21:28): Saphine: "How cruel Master Shu..."
Meraxa (00:21:29): Ken: ...
Aero (00:21:34): She seems to recover at that
griefgathering (00:21:51): Chika: "Oh it's fine, she's on our side."
cubey@aol.pl (00:21:58): Setsuko: "What makes you say that?"
Aero (00:22:00): Saphine: "My, someone who actually shares my finer eye for fashion."
cubey@aol.pl (00:22:18): Setsuko: "Is it really a uniform for piloting?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:22:24): Toby: "I don't mind..."
Wyverncakes (00:22:33): Selena: "I could se myself wearing something like that."
griefgathering (00:22:43): Chika: "Lady Saphine is Master's most loyal follower, even if he doesn't remember right now."
Wyverncakes (00:22:58): Elma: "I think you might have some problems though. I mean, the outfit looks like it'd be too tight for your bre-"
tengusaur (00:23:02): Asagi: "What exactly is their relationship...?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:23:03): Denzel: "Talk about clothes later. Does that mean you are on our side?"
Ginkan SK (00:23:05): Russel just stares at the transmission distracted from Thomas's surival. Ya he just kinda BSODing at the outfit.
Wyverncakes (00:23:06): The little subot doesn't get any further.
Aero (00:23:18): Saphine: "It's comfortable, that's the most important thing when it comes to piloting uniforms. Isn't that right Master Shu?"
Wyverncakes (00:23:21): Instead there's just a cry of "PERVERT" and the loud sound of a tin can bouncing around a small room.
tormterra (00:23:26): Selena just gets a very unamused look coming up at the screen at that comment

Wyverncakes (00:26:32): Selena: "Pleasure to have you with us, Saphine but I think it's time we get back to business."
Wyverncakes (00:26:54): Knowing Albhard, he's probably already reversing his fortunes in the best way he knows how. But still...
Wyverncakes (00:28:43): * To keep the pressure off of Shu, Selena has the Gesterben change gears and open fire on the Gildoras with its railgun, keeping it to just a few shots to one before moving to the next, waiting for Shu to make his big move.+
griefgathering (00:28:51): *With Saphine's assistance, Shu tries to get into range once again. The routing process is complete by now, and the Granzon stands at the ready as its chest cavity opens up...more black energy radiating from it than usual...
griefgathering (00:29:14): Shu: "Gravitron Cannon, fire."
tengusaur (00:29:34): *Asagi: "Back to action, ignore the distractions... I'll keep the pressure up on this guy!" He moves in towards Guarlion Mumyou again, circling around it at close range and slashing with his katana from several directions - but what's this? Blue One is striking with only one hand! &
tormterra (00:29:41): * "...You just had to put it like that? Anyway, the mission still stands. We need to take down those two elites if we are to safely progress. Shu, try to get their attention, you can withstand retaliation the best. Asagi and Selena, try using the opening to get in close to strike them before they can get away." +
Aero (00:30:01): [Use that Kei action to take two turns you jerk Shoe]
griefgathering (00:30:28): *There's a good reason why he set those markers around the Granzon, and he's going to hope everyone actually listened, because a dark explosion of gravitational energy radiates outwards from the Granzon, consuming anything caught in it's wake!+
Ginkan SK (00:30:58): Russel makes a vow to never let this woman and Excellen meet it would be the doom of everyone to their combination of fasion. Wait Thomas oh yes he's not done with that at all. "Greetings Saphine." Ages of dealing with Katina allow Russel to hide any issues he might be having with Saphine's fashion tastes. Russel did indeed lision he knows the terror of gravity and what that machine used to be able to do. He assumes Shu has upgraded things since then.
griefgathering (00:31:04): His main targets though, are those ships!
Aero (00:31:57): [Shoe] Well one second everything was up, the next the intense gravity creates a gigantic crater that also crushes down those ships into it. When the dark explosion finally clears those ships are now about 75 meters into the ground...along with the Granzon. However, the Granzon now cannot move...
tengusaur (00:32:16): Asagi: "Woah..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:32:32): Setsuko: "It worked. It really worked!"
Meraxa (00:32:35): Ken: ...So that warning was fair enough.
cubey@aol.pl (00:32:41): The scale of destruction is amazing and also terrifying.
Aero (00:33:13): [Asagi] He simply parries your strikes, whoever this pilot is he's very skilled to be able to fend you off so easily even with all the damage he took. [Continue]
tengusaur (00:34:28): * "I knew you're a superior swordsman. But...!" While fighting in melee, Asagi pulls out his hand-held missile launcher and fires several small missiles almost point-blank at his opponent! So that's why he needed a free hand. +
Aero (00:35:36): [Selena] Only a few are taken out, with their ships completely stuck they have no other option other than to take the fight to you. A barrage of beams are fired out at you by their beam cannons....however Saphine gets in the way of those shots. And...well...her comm is still on. "Yes...yes....YES just like that." ...she sounds like she's having fun.
Wyverncakes (00:35:59): Well, everyone needs a hobby.
Wyverncakes (00:36:08): It's not like she has a naked woman on the front of her machine.
Wyverncakes (00:36:12): THAT'S where she draws the line.
tengusaur (00:36:34): Asagi: "Err... Is she..."
Aero (00:36:43): A LOT of fun.
Aero (00:36:51): It kind of sounds like that Video you watched with Izuru Asagi.
Aero (00:36:55): Well...

cubey@aol.pl (00:37:01): Setsuko: "Should we really be listening to this?"

Meraxa (00:37:30): Ken: Didn't one of your teammates do something similar to this...? *Ken asks of Kei and Asagi*
tengusaur (00:38:05): Asagi: "No! And I don't want to even imagine them doing it!"
Aero (00:38:49): [Asagi] At the last moment he attempts to fire the vulcans on the machine to destroy those missiles. The missiles detonating, enveloping the both of you. Once the dust clears the Guarlion Mumyou is already on a retreat path as well. Blue One is pretty messed up by that but it still seems operational.
tengusaur (00:39:24): Asagi didn't really expected to get out of this without damage, so no comment.

cubey@aol.pl (00:40:38): Toby: "On it Chief!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:40:45): Denzel: "You are one of the immobilized ones, idiot!"

Ginkan SK (00:43:52): Russel "Copy that let's go!"

Wyverncakes (00:51:36): Cut off from everyone like he is, one might expect Ken to be a goner. Ironic, since he only recently traded up from a Genoace. BUT...

Wyverncakes (00:57:07): Selena: "Again, we'll sort through that at some later point."
griefgathering (00:57:22): Shu: "In this situation, the new arrivals will likely attempt to capture the Granzon. I will need your assistance."

Aero (01:09:02): [Asagi] You're having pretty bad luck with Guarlion's today. Thomas intercepts your shots with his Break Field before drawing an Assault Blade and charging at you. "Hey now, don't think you'll be taking that prize back so easily. " [React]

tengusaur (01:11:52): * "Get off me, ally-bomber!" Asagi draws his katana, trying to block the incoming blows with wide parries with his own blade and then quickly disengage. +
Meraxa (01:13:13): Ken: Hmmm... Wonder how well that artillery handles close range... Beast Mode! *Ken makes a run towards the Barrelions, ScarleTiger shifting midway. As it hits its stride, it comes towards one of the enemy units, seeing if it can pounce, and then rip and tear!+
Aero (01:14:43): [Asagi and Toby] And being the chicken-shit heel that he is, Thomas immediately backs off from melee and lets the assault blade melt to the Barley Scythe, drawing his railgun instead and firing several shots into both machines. "Hey now, I'm not gonna fight like the samurai old man."
Aero (01:16:02): [Ken] The answer is not too well. ScarleTiger easily sidesteps all of the desperate shots fired at it and tears right through almost all of the Barrelions. Looks like the Tiger wins over the Lion today.
Aero (01:16:41): [Glory Stars can go]
cubey@aol.pl (01:17:00): Toby: "Not bad at all! Only, you know..."
griefgathering (01:17:20): The Granzon continues its stealthy second charge...
cubey@aol.pl (01:17:53): Toby smiles slyly as he sees something approaching behind Thomas's back.
griefgathering (01:17:57): Chika: "Dododo-dododo do do dododo do do do-do-do-do~"
cubey@aol.pl (01:18:31): *And now it stabs. Virgola unit 3, charging at the Guarlion from behind, Jack Carver put up front and ready to carve up the offending ace into pieces!+
Meraxa (01:18:59): Ken: You don't have to worry about enemy artillery anymore!
cubey@aol.pl (01:19:04): Setsuko: "Leave them... alone! Eeey!"
Aero (01:19:53): [Selena you can also take your Kei action]
griefgathering (01:21:00): Shu just stares at his familiar in that 'are you really going to keep at it?' kind of way. "Chika..."
Ginkan SK (01:21:22): Russel is now turning his attention upon what's left of the enemy ranks. He eyes Thomas and opens up oin the Guarlion with the Gattling Guns. "So what are you doing here now?! Up to your old tricks?!"+
griefgathering (01:21:36): Chika: "But Master, it's your the- you know what, nevermind."
Aero (01:22:09): [Glory Stars] "I have my own backup you know." The Solgady quickly closes the distance and parries the Jack Carver with his Discutter. The heavier blade does push the Masouki back. "Hmmm you have determination." With the blades clashing the tail of the machine swings around to fire at the Virgola at point blank range. [React!]
Wyverncakes (01:22:44): Albhard: "And you're not the only ones that can do that!"
Aero (01:22:45): [Russel] And since he was freed he can easily fly away from those bullets. "What do you think, I'm keeping Bian Zoldark's will going of course." Yeah that didn't sound genuine at all.
Meraxa (01:23:20): #Setsuko?
Aero (01:23:49): [Selena] "I don't need to act, Master Shu will need assistance after he fires off his payload a second time. Something I'm more than willing to help with." Yeah...she just flies over. As you route the other machines closer to the Granzon.
Aero (01:23:53): [Approved]
cubey@aol.pl (01:24:00): "Ahh, no!" *Setsuko slams down the carver on the tail, trying to push it off target.+
Meraxa (01:25:29): Ken: No you don't! *Swinging around from his furious massacre of the Barrelions, Ken tries to race into the fray to knock the Carver off its mark+
Aero (01:25:44): [Discutter I assume]
Wyverncakes (01:27:48): * And since those mooks are getting herded towards the Granzon, Selena shifts gears to start going after Thomas! "Whatever the reason, if you're in our way then we need to deal with you... and that red machine was a LOT faster than yours!" Hauling out the Gesterben's shotgun, Selena begins opening fire in Thomas's direction.+
Aero (01:29:47): [Selena] "Don't think a new version of that junky Gespenst can beat me." This is why he has a boost drive to match up with the Gesterben. There's a Sonic Boosted Guarlion coming right for you Selena and those shotgun shells just bounce off of that barrier made from speed. [React]
Wyverncakes (01:30:40): Albhard: "You want something bigger? YOU GOT IT!"
Ginkan SK (01:31:51): Russel says "If you had been you'd be with the other DC that rejoined the military! Your still out here, your working for cash ain't you!?"
Wyverncakes (01:32:22): * The Guarlion might be fast, but seriously, Albhard's already stared down one Sonic Boosted -lion type already and that was in something a lot less kickass than a friggin' Grungust. One which is suddenly moving on an intercept course with a massive, flaming energy blade sweeping down to cleave the machine in half!+
Aero (01:33:02): [Ken and Setsuko] The tail suddenly changes directions at the last moment to avoid the carver and fires it's beam at ScarlTiger instead which lays into the machine rather roughly. With your focus off of the machine machine a large magical circle is formed in front of the Masouki and it charges through it to gain speed before unleashing a barrage of slashes at Virgola Unit 3. When it's all said and done, Unit 3 falls to the ground while ScarlTiger is also sent flying. Unit 3 is sparking severely and the machine isn't reacting to any of your controls. [Setsuko downed.]
tengusaur (01:33:15): Asagi: "Setsuko!"
Meraxa (01:33:41): Ken: Argh! Setsuko!
tormterra (01:34:04): Kei: "Asagi, try to get her out of there. Ken, stay on that unit to keep it from taking down anyone else."
cubey@aol.pl (01:34:13): Setsuko: "Aaaah!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:34:23): Toby: "Setsuko!"
Meraxa (01:34:49): Ken: R-Right! STAND UP! *Though its a rough landing, Ken does so on the ScarleTiger's feet, as it shifts into humanoid form.*
Aero (01:35:06): [Selena and Albhard] Now on the other side the flaming sword has absolutely no problems cutting right through the barrier and shattering it. The Guarlion behind that barrier in cut clean in half...however that upper half uses what remains of his boost drive to continue forwards and run away.
cubey@aol.pl (01:35:12): Setsuko: "I can't move..."
griefgathering (01:35:50): Chika: "We're almost done! This thing can't charge any faster!"
tengusaur (01:36:09): Asagi: "I'm on it! Blue One suffered medium damage, but all systems still work normally."
tormterra (01:36:17): Kei: "We'll keep you safe and get you out of there, don't worry." Even if she was rapidly becoming uncertain about how they were going to actually do that. Even if they took down all the attackers, they'd be stuck in a strange place without ready means of returning and a lot of damaged and disabled units
Aero (01:36:20): [Ken] ScarleTiger manages to shit but that just shows the extent of the damage on the machine. It only manages a few steps before the machine also keeps over.
Wyverncakes (01:36:21): Selena: "Good riddance.!"
Aero (01:36:24): SHIFT
Aero (01:36:25): SHIFT
Meraxa (01:36:46): Ken: ...No! NOT NOW!
tengusaur (01:37:22): Asagi lands on the ground, next to the fallen Virgola. Actual actions will come at a later time, when appropriate.
Aero (01:37:26): [Everyone] Now that almost everyone is down the Shutedonia forces all gather over the crater with their weapons locked onto all of you...this looks pretty bad.
tengusaur (01:37:39): Asagi: "Ah..."
Wyverncakes (01:37:47): Selena: "... Well... we certainly made it look believable..."
Wyverncakes (01:37:56): Albhard: "Shirakawa, any time now!"
tormterra (01:38:01): Kei: "Because we didn't fake anything..."
cubey@aol.pl (01:38:01): Denzel: "Don't get yourselves killed... any second now..."
Meraxa (01:38:17): Ken: Ngh, if thats it... *Ken, in his haste, has his hand at the hatch's emergency release...*
Aero (01:38:25): Lock-On warnings are now all over your sensors....
griefgathering (01:38:26): Shu: "Routing complete. Shifting to B-Mode."
griefgathering (01:38:55): And suddenly, the sky is dark.
griefgathering (01:39:15): But that's after the Granzon releases a single black sphere that rises into the air.
griefgathering (01:40:10): If anyone looks up, they'll see nothing but a sea of black spheres in the sky.
Aero (01:40:32): Ahmed: "Shu Shirakawa...you were playing possum this entire time!?"
griefgathering (01:40:33): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ka8UVFcDxCM
griefgathering (01:40:57): Shu: "Hmph."
Wyverncakes (01:41:17): Selena: " You're the ones who wanted to fight us."
griefgathering (01:41:23): Shu: "I would have expected people who recognize me to know my power all to well."
Aero (01:41:25): The massive amount of gravity in the sky is preventing the Shutedonia forces from getting out.
griefgathering (01:42:15): Shu: "Now...accept the consequences. Gravitron Cannon, fire!"
griefgathering (01:43:40): *This time, the attack is different. The gravity spheres come raining down on the enemy machines in the area, each carrying the effect of 3200Gs!+
Aero (01:43:49): [Shu] The black spheres descend onto the Shutedonia forces and...well the entire area is turned into a storm of gravity from the overwhelming barrage. Simply being touched by a single orb was enough to wipe out the Masouki and Surface machines in an instant. When the barrage finally ends the only machine still around is the Solgady which managed to escape only by maxing out it's thrusters.
Aero (01:44:04): Somehow Shu or rather his supercomputer managed to avoid the ships entirely.
Aero (01:44:17): However...the Solgady still looks like it wants to fight.
griefgathering (01:44:32): And the Granzon is still standing where it is.
tengusaur (01:44:48): Asagi: "What insane power... Good we were given a warning."
Aero (01:44:50): Ahmed: "Your allies are still disabled Shu Shirakawa."
Wyverncakes (01:45:05): Selena: "Not all of them."
tormterra (01:45:26): (Who's still standing? Selena, Asagi and Russel?)
Wyverncakes (01:45:40): And the Grungust and Gesterben are forming up alongside the Granzon now that it actually HAS crapped out.
griefgathering (01:45:48): Shu: "I am far from done. If you wish to face the Granzon's true power by yourself, then you are more than welcome to try."
Wyverncakes (01:45:49): (And Saphine)
griefgathering (01:46:08): The blue machine...actually takes a step forward.
tengusaur (01:46:16): Asagi: "You still want to fight even after all that happened?"
cubey@aol.pl (01:46:56): Denzel: "Star One is still going. I suggest you back off right now."
cubey@aol.pl (01:47:10): The one functional Virgola takes a step forward, its carver aimed and ready to fire.
Aero (01:47:19): Despite his bravado even he knows how foolish it is to try this. Those last words combined with Granzon still being operation was enough to get him to retreat.
Aero (01:47:41): Once he was out of radar range the Granzon...weeeeeeeeeeeell.
griefgathering (01:47:56): Like a PC with no power.
griefgathering (01:48:04): The Granzon shuts down.
griefgathering (01:48:32): Shu: "..."
griefgathering (01:48:42): If you listen closely you might hear a sigh of relief.
tormterra (01:48:46): Kei: "...Good bluff there."
cubey@aol.pl (01:49:07): Setsuko: "Ahh... I really thought it's over out there..."
tengusaur (01:49:19): Asagi: "He ran after all... Good. Let's get everyone out of here."
griefgathering (01:49:29): Shu: "Excellent work, all of you."
Meraxa (01:49:33): Ken was... in awe, for that entire sequence. Disturbed and amazed by such power...
tormterra (01:49:55): Kei: "We just need to figure out how..." Kei looked over the field of wreckage to try to think of some miraculous solution to haul all of that out
tengusaur (01:50:16): Asagi: "Come." Blue One lifts Virgola unit 3 up, by the shoulder.
cubey@aol.pl (01:50:33): Denzel: "Looks like we'll have to call for support."
griefgathering (01:50:35): Shu: "Torao, is something wrong?"
Wyverncakes (01:50:40): Albhard: "If anyone's in need of a ride, this bad boy here should be able to accomodate."
Meraxa (01:51:17): And then, in silent frustration, he slams his fist against the hatch release, which he had failed to pull. "Nothing. At all." And once he's not so silent, the tone in his voice is clear. "Let's just use the units we're here to take back anyway."
griefgathering (01:52:16): Chika: "Well, we've got a bit of time, so just make sure not to miss anything!"
tormterra (01:52:44): Kei: "Who can we get out here to assist in an evacuation?"
Wyverncakes (01:53:09): Selena: "I'll be able to help. Elma can handle the Gesterben on his own."
Meraxa (01:53:25): Ken: I might find something to use in there...
Wyverncakes (01:53:39): Elma: "Right... and if we have some tools lying around I might be able to provide emergency repairs to some of our machines too!"
Ginkan SK (01:54:17): Russel's machine looks about he tilts his machine's head for a moment as he looks at the last machine for a moment wondering just where things are going. Okay things seem to be settled. "I'll get to work on the repairs..." Russel brings his repair rig online to get to work.
Aero (01:54:21): Despite the some severe damage taken you've not only secured the the 4th ship but every other one as well. The Operation was pretty much a complete success.
Aero (01:54:25): Mission Accomplished!
Aero (01:54:35): Battle Mastery Gained!
