cubey@aol.pl (00:24:42): What happened a while ago:
cubey@aol.pl (00:24:54): Everyone was busy with their own day, when suddenly...
cubey@aol.pl (00:25:15): Commander Howe: "It's an emergency! Everyone available, get moving to the shuttles. You'll be our first response."
cubey@aol.pl (00:25:35): Commander Huffman: "What happened this time, I wonder?"
tengusaur (00:25:52): Hetepheres: "Prepare the Scaraber, quickly! What is the emergency?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:25:53): Howe: "It's the Lady's Good Men. They're not attacking Unity Group this time though."
cubey@aol.pl (00:26:20): The Warsaw Space Army Garrison (despite the name it's on Earth) is under attack.
cubey@aol.pl (00:26:33): And you were unceremoniously packed in a shuttle and sent to help there.
Ishikar3 (00:26:43): Lamia: "Is there any tech there they would be after?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:27:26): Howe: "No, it looks like it's just wild destruction for its own sake."
frifreeman (00:27:35): Walt: "It's finally happening."
cubey@aol.pl (00:27:45): By the way.
frifreeman (00:27:47): Walt: "An all out war!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:27:54): The shuttle?
VJockey (00:27:55): "...So they're just being themselves?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:27:58): You are not alone on it.
VJockey (00:28:04): [That being a bunch of jerks.]
cubey@aol.pl (00:28:41): Loni: "Hey, look who's here!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:28:57): Ilinka: "So we cooperate once again..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:28:59): Desta just snorts.
tengusaur (00:29:04): Hetepheres: "It is weird that they are launching an attack against a non-UG object."
frifreeman (00:29:08): Walt: "Gesundheit"
cubey@aol.pl (00:29:14): Indeed, the trio was picked by the shuttle as well. As well as their units. Aren't you happy?
VJockey (00:29:20): ...
tengusaur (00:29:34): Hetepheres keeps a stoic face and doesn't comment about their presence.
VJockey (00:29:37): [Interitus is growling lowly at Desta. The fangs are moving.]
cubey@aol.pl (00:29:43): As well as...
Ginkan SK (00:29:47): Russel "There goes lunch. I'm heading out!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:30:04): ???: "I will make sure this cooperation actually happens. Personally."
aldo salt (00:30:09): Dido: "The Lady's Good Men, is it?" She clenches her teeth. "Lets see how they fight without hostages to hide behidn!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:30:12): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXrJgMGMOIo
cubey@aol.pl (00:30:32): That voice belongs to Major Ingram - who greets you over an audio line. He already sits in cockpit of a new unit.
cubey@aol.pl (00:30:33): http://www.mahq.net/mecha/srw/og1/rw-01.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (00:30:44): The prototype R-Gun is finally complete. And this will be its trial by fire.
aldo salt (00:30:51): Dido coughs into her closed fist. "So." She says to the terrible trio. "How you doing?"
tengusaur (00:31:14): Hetepheres: "Major. It is good to see you are participating as well."
cubey@aol.pl (00:32:01): Loni: "Could've been better. But as long as we can fight those jerks and make a difference, I'm good!"
Ishikar3 (00:32:07): Lamia: "Major Pliskin, is there a special reason why you have involved yourself with this mission? Most times our groups do not mix on sorties."
VJockey (00:32:25): "...Just don't shoot any more civilians... please...."
VJockey (00:32:49): "Life's hard enough without Interitus going berserk again..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:32:52): Ingram: "The time is now..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:33:05): Ingram: "And by that I mean, this unit will be tested - on the field."
Ginkan SK (00:33:12): Russel "It's them again? Great just great."
cubey@aol.pl (00:33:39): Ingram: "Also I'd lie if I said I'm not surprised that The Good Men attack an unrelated target. So be it then. I trust you to destroy them."
aldo salt (00:33:48): "R-Gun, eh?" Dido peers at the new unit with an evaluating gaze. "This should be cool!"
tengusaur (00:34:04): Hetepheres: "I do not intend to stop my blade."
cubey@aol.pl (00:34:07): Desta: "Tch. I'm not shooting anyone with this babysitter around us."
cubey@aol.pl (00:34:13): Ingram: "You said something, Mlakar?"
VJockey (00:34:21): "..."
VJockey (00:34:28): [Interitus snarls audibly.]
VJockey (00:34:47): "He didn't mean he was going to shoot at people if the Major was here!"
VJockey (00:34:55): "Easy buddy! Easy..."
VJockey (00:35:10): [At least Volya really hopes so.]
VJockey (00:35:13): *wasn't
cubey@aol.pl (00:35:29): Loni: "Come on, don't fight guys! We promised to start from a fresh leg, right?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:35:47): And so the time passes uneasily.
cubey@aol.pl (00:35:56): Fortunately those shuttles are pretty fast so the travel doesn't take long.
Ginkan SK (00:36:15): Russel lets out a low whistle "So ... the R Gun?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:36:17): In the distance, you can see a Polish military base, near the outskirts of their capital city.
cubey@aol.pl (00:36:25): It's by the side of a river.
cubey@aol.pl (00:36:27): It's also burning.
VJockey (00:37:13): [Plantdog lets out a soft whine, fire was never a good thing. Still, Volya and Interitus prepare themselves for battle.]
Ishikar3 (00:37:16): Lamia: "it appears the situation is worse than anticipated."
cubey@aol.pl (00:37:19): Ingram: "The R-Gun utilises latest technology we developed to put Tronium under control of human hands. The results are spectacular. You'll see."
aldo salt (00:37:23): "It's a transforming model!" Dido gushes. "Not like a Valkyrie fighter, thought…the R-Gun has a weapon's mode!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:37:54): Loni: "Follow me! Into the breach!"
VJockey (00:38:04): "Wha- Wait!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:38:12): You're a moderate distance away from the base, but FightSaber takes off already!
cubey@aol.pl (00:38:26): ShotSaber and Ilinka's Gespenst follow.
VJockey (00:38:36): [Interitus whines once more before glancing at the Scaraber.]
Ishikar3 (00:38:43): Lamia: "surprisingly eager aren't they?"
tengusaur (00:38:57): Hetepheres: "A weapon mode. Literally, it turns into a weapon itself?" As she speaks, the Scaraber deploys, moving towards the burning base.
cubey@aol.pl (00:39:10): Ingram: "Very. Follow them."
frifreeman (00:39:20): Walt: "Poor kids. Fighting is all they know. Don't they know that usually when you say "into the breach" you'll get shot instantly?"
VJockey (00:39:41): "...But didn't you just say it?"
Meraxa (00:39:50): Ken: Then lets try to keep that from that happening!
cubey@aol.pl (00:40:03): Commander Antov: "Right! I mean... you have clearance to engage the enemy, Unity Group!"
Ishikar3 (00:40:04): Angelg proceeds to launch and follow them, taking a moment to circle the base to evaluate the situation.
aldo salt (00:40:09): *"…these freaking guys." Dido says, pinching her nose. "At least finish the Shakespeare quotation!" Dido puts her hands on the controls, and ShelLancer moves out!
VJockey (00:40:33): "A..ah! Wait up!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:40:38): Even from a distance, you can see that the base's defenses have been decimated. Barely anything remains.
cubey@aol.pl (00:40:48): Also the base is surrounded by several patrols of Yobs.
cubey@aol.pl (00:41:00): Loni: "Haaa! Take that you assholes!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:41:12): The trio engages and eliminates the closest one before you can get in fighting range.
Meraxa (00:41:38): Ken: They've had a real run of the place...
cubey@aol.pl (00:41:51): Loni: "Alright! That was awesome, keep it up! Who's next?"
tengusaur (00:42:06): Hetepheres: "Do not let anyone get shot. Our priority is to save the base and its defenders, what little remains of them. And watch out for those three overeager rushers."
aldo salt (00:42:18): Dido takes a look around at the base. Are there any natural choke points or terrain features that would hinder the Yob's maneuvering?
aldo salt (00:42:30): Or installations that need to be guarded?
cubey@aol.pl (00:42:52): ???: "Ha. So they come, as I have predicted and planned all along."
cubey@aol.pl (00:43:18): The base has walls, but you can easily jump over them. It'd be harder for Yobs though - which are already in the inside though, so it doesn't matter.
frifreeman (00:43:23): Walt: "Are they really attacking this place randomly? Poor Poland. You never catch a break, do you?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:43:38): In addition to standard mook units, the Good Men fielded two different looking units.
VJockey (00:43:42): "...What happened to Poland?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:43:57): One of them is blue, and looks like a huge armored knight. It wields a sword - and nothing else.
VJockey (00:44:02): "History's not my best subject next to Phys Ed..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:44:04): (No Dark Souls images this time, sorry)
VJockey (00:44:10): (;-;)
cubey@aol.pl (00:44:35): The second looks sleek and rather... feminine? You might be reminded of Purple Two. Such a different design than the Good Men usual.
cubey@aol.pl (00:44:51): From its arms, some kind of beam emanates. It connects to the knight, like if it was a leash.
aldo salt (00:45:18): "…Bondage Mechas?" Dido blurts out.
tengusaur (00:45:23): Hetepheres: "That is a... peculiar connection."
VJockey (00:45:39): [FLASHBACKS TO THE 'MOVIE' IZURU HAD ON.]
Ishikar3 (00:45:46): Lamia: "A power up or control unit?"
VJockey (00:45:46): [slkjdfgkagfgkegfalgl]
cubey@aol.pl (00:45:56): The blue unit's pilot sounds uppity.
cubey@aol.pl (00:46:29): ???: "What a low accusation! A real man of honor would never stoop down to such depravities, especially on the field of battle!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:46:40): Suddenly, the unit looks down.
cubey@aol.pl (00:46:45): That's because something grabbed its foot.
cubey@aol.pl (00:47:06): A half-destroyed Genoace, it surely belonged to the defensive garrison.
cubey@aol.pl (00:47:13): Genoace pilot: "H... elp..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:47:18): ???: "Off with you, pest!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:47:27): The blue knight stabs the mobile suit right through the cockpit!
tengusaur (00:47:33): #?
VJockey (00:47:34): "!!!!!!!"
VJockey (00:47:44): "Wh- Wha-"
VJockey (00:47:46): "WHY!?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:47:48): Approved, if you have a really good idea.
tengusaur (00:47:57): (can't say I do)
Meraxa (00:47:58): Ken: Fight someone who can actually fight back!
aldo salt (00:48:17): #can I try?
VJockey (00:48:23): ...#
cubey@aol.pl (00:48:30): Once again, if any of you have a good idea, go for it.
aldo salt (00:49:22): "Don't you dare!" Dido shouts at the lnight. "He can't fight back!"
aldo salt (00:49:46): *She locks onto the knight. "And if you do dare, you won't be able to block this!"
aldo salt (00:50:09): A single Arc Thorn launches from ShelLancer's shoulder silos, heading toward the Knight's skull!+
VJockey (00:50:35): *Interitus reacts the moment the motion is made, several vines lash out at lightning speed at the blade to pull it away... or at the very least redirect it...+
VJockey (00:50:44): [The question is, will it make it in time?]
cubey@aol.pl (00:51:15): ???: "Tch! Attacking from a distance, with weird weapons, how dishonorable!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:51:37): The blue robot jumps away, easily evading the attacks but also getting away from the downed Genoace.
Ishikar3 (00:51:41): Lamia: "You were complaining about honor on the battlefield?"
VJockey (00:51:42): "YOU TRIED TO KILL A GUY WHO CAN'T EVEN FIGHT!!!"
aldo salt (00:51:53): *"What they said!" Dido snarls.
cubey@aol.pl (00:52:05): ???2: "Now that our real enemies are here, I suggest focusing on them."
tengusaur (00:52:08): Hetepheres: "Your definition of honor is most peculiar and completely worthless."
aldo salt (00:52:14): "And you're one to talk about weird weapons, Bondage Knight!" Dido adds.
cubey@aol.pl (00:52:18): ???: "Yes, that's true. Very well then. I will be your opponent!"
tengusaur (00:52:19): Hetepheres: "Get that pilot out of here."
VJockey (00:52:43): "R... Right!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:52:46): ???: "My name is Constans Ricard Antema, and this is the Blue Blood! Also present, Erle Tailler and the Ancilla."
cubey@aol.pl (00:53:00): ???2 (apparently Erle) sighs.
VJockey (00:53:09): (Can pull away the Genoace?)
cubey@aol.pl (00:53:17): (Yes)
cubey@aol.pl (00:54:16): Initiative: Russel, Ken, Dido, Hetepheres, Walt, Lamia, Volya
cubey@aol.pl (00:54:21): Russel, Ken, Dido, go now
cubey@aol.pl (00:54:44): Enemies: Chain Yob x9, Blaze Yob x9, Razor Yob x6, Muzzle Yob x6, Blue Blood (Constans), Ancilla (Erle)
Ishikar3 (00:54:50): Lamia: You seem to be a different type of leader for this group than we have seen in the past. Why did you attack this facility?
cubey@aol.pl (00:54:52): The Yobs are in several groups scattered here and there.
VJockey (00:54:59): [Tentacles away! The vines are quickly retrieving the wrecked defender as the plant beast held it protectively and rushed to keep it somewhere away from the fighting.]
cubey@aol.pl (00:55:00): Blue Blood and Ancilla are in the middle of the installation.
VJockey (00:55:13): "Pleasebeokaypleasebeokaypleasebeokay"
Ginkan SK (00:55:37): Russel grimaces at the situation and replies to Ken "looks like it..." HE doesn't seem happy however as he sees the pilot murderd before his eye. "..." Russel goes for his m90 assault rifle there is nothing he can do he's too far awy to act. "... You speak of honor when you did something like that?! Your nothing but a bandit!" He levels the m90 and opens fire at Blue Blood. shell casings go flying as Russel keeps trying to gun the enemy down.
cubey@aol.pl (00:55:38): Also: Loni's group and Ingram in the R-Gun, available for supports
Ginkan SK (00:55:39): +
cubey@aol.pl (00:55:41): If you dare
Meraxa (00:55:52): Ken: Face me! *Ken bounds over broken buildings to find a group of yobs, before lashing out with the scarlet whip to try and tear them apart+
cubey@aol.pl (00:56:38): Constans: "Follow me, Erle. They shall taste my blade!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:57:05): Blue Blood is very fast on its feet! It jumps here and there, deftly avoiding Russel's shots! Then, it lunges, thrusting its blade for the kill!
cubey@aol.pl (00:57:10): But...
cubey@aol.pl (00:57:26): The sword is parried - by a chainsaw blade which bursts in flames and causes the blue knight to fall back.
cubey@aol.pl (00:57:29): Loni: "This guy..."
aldo salt (00:57:31): *Dido turns her ShelLancer to face the largest clump of Yobs (to the left of Ken), and paints them with a target lock. "Ken! Can you herd them into the kill zone?" She launches a volley of Arc Thorns that blacken the sky, the descend at terminal velocity down at the Yobs!+
aldo salt (00:57:46): *then
Meraxa (00:57:55): Ken: I can try!
cubey@aol.pl (00:57:55): Loni: "Leave this guy to me."
cubey@aol.pl (00:58:06): FightSaber stood guard and protected Russel from the attack!
tengusaur (00:58:50): Hetepheres: "Are you sure you can take him on alone?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:59:13): Ken knocks several Yobs off balance, the whip melting a bit of their armor. More importantly, you force them all in one place.
cubey@aol.pl (00:59:31): And then they get wrecked by Dido's volley. That's one group of Yobs down!
cubey@aol.pl (00:59:42): (Group consists of 2 chain and blaze yobs and one each of the other two kinds)
cubey@aol.pl (00:59:48): Hetepheres, Walt, go
cubey@aol.pl (01:01:05): Loni: "Who I'd be if I couldn't? After what he said and did here..."
cubey@aol.pl (01:01:25): Loni: "This can't be! You're going down, motherfucker!"
Meraxa (01:01:46): Ken: Don't do something stupid Loni!
cubey@aol.pl (01:01:54): Constans: "Your blade is sharp, but your tongue needs work!"
tengusaur (01:02:04): * Scaraber moves to the side, to engage a group of enemies that isn't attacked by any allies yet. Hetepheres swings two of the swords at the Blaze Yobs, to pull them close to each other, and then slashes with all four razor blades at once to cut through them in double X-shaped strikes! +
aldo salt (01:03:41): "What Ken said, Loni!" Dido shouts. "Use your head!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:04:10): The Yobs spin around as their pilots try to regain control. You know what else spins, Hetepheres? The Razor Yobs. Two of them come for the rescue of their damaged (soon to be destroyed) brethren, spinning like tops made of rotary saws as they move in your direction. React!
frifreeman (01:04:24): Walt: "Weird weapons... Is a gun that shoots beam that somehow spins is considered weird too?" Walt ponders as he leads his team forward. "Are we weird, guys?" He asks his team as they shoot toward the unattacked Yobs.
frifreeman (01:04:27): +
cubey@aol.pl (01:04:39): Ilinka: "... You're not alone, Loni."
cubey@aol.pl (01:04:48): Loni: "I know. But I'll be fine if I duel this guy. Trust me."
cubey@aol.pl (01:05:06): Desta: "Just don't die on me!"
tengusaur (01:06:00): * Hetepheres keeps on with the assault, moving her blades to clash with the incoming saws only after her targets are destroyed or disabled! But that doesn't mean she's defenseless, Scaraber is protected by its golden Noble Barrier, +
VJockey (01:06:16): "...We have ninjas, talking cats, aliens, alien robots and a lot of other things..."
VJockey (01:06:40): "I dunno if weird is even the right word anymore."
cubey@aol.pl (01:07:07): The Yobs counter and get in formation - one of the chain-wielding ones falls but the rest throw their weapons in Walt's squad's direction, and cannon ones open behind them and fire projectiles as well. React, Walt!
aldo salt (01:07:16): "I don't think spinning beam guns are weird." Dido offers. "Spinning improves the power of everything. Law of the universe."
Ishikar3 (01:07:55): Lamia: "You have a rather unique idea of the world don't you Dido?"
cubey@aol.pl (01:08:16): The Razor Yobs grind their saws against Heph's weapons - and the golden barrier! She manages to throw them away with minimal damage, and the follow up slash took those two Flame Yobs out of commission.
cubey@aol.pl (01:08:28): (Blaze Yobs)
cubey@aol.pl (01:08:33): Also
cubey@aol.pl (01:08:35): Lamia and Volya can move.
cubey@aol.pl (01:08:40): Volya got that Genoace out of the safety.
aldo salt (01:08:42): "If by unique idea, you mean physics, then yeah!" Dido replies. "Just look at those Razor Yobs…ooh yeah."
cubey@aol.pl (01:08:44): *Out to safety
Meraxa (01:08:49): Ken: Actually the DODS rifle basically proves it
aldo salt (01:09:04): #Walt?
cubey@aol.pl (01:09:07): Approved.
VJockey (01:10:22): *Given that in his experience the unique looking machines always cause the most trouble, he was going to go after the Ancilla - launching a barrage of tentacles at it!+
VJockey (01:10:43): [Were any of his friends from school around to see this, he would most certainly be called a pervert.]
VJockey (01:10:57): [In fact Ken probably would get why. Wouldn't you Ken?]
aldo salt (01:11:55): *Walt and the Genoace squad get supporting artillery fire–in the form of more Arc Thorns descending towards the advancing Yobs, spread out in a scattered barrage!+
frifreeman (01:12:38): Walt: "Everyone, spread out! and take cover!" The three genoaces fires their thruster and jumps toward diferent direction, each heading toward different rubble to hide in.+
cubey@aol.pl (01:13:29): That support took down an already-damaged Chain yob and damaged a cannon one - and Walt's team is safe, the enemy's attack put into disarray!
cubey@aol.pl (01:13:36): Genoace team now hiding behind buildings.
Ginkan SK (01:13:38): Russel "Damn... I'm not done with you yet!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:13:55): Erle: "Eh?"
cubey@aol.pl (01:14:07): She sounds surprised as Interitus' vines wrap themselves around Ancilla!
cubey@aol.pl (01:14:17): Ingram: "Good. Hold it in place, just like that."
aldo salt (01:14:32): "Heh." Dido chuckles. "Bondage."
cubey@aol.pl (01:14:33): Ingram: "There is no place for duels on the battlefield. Magna Beam Rifle, fire!"
Ishikar3 (01:14:39): *Lamia takes a moment to watch the opponent to guage her opponents. Seeing the Muzzle Yobs in the back she begins to rake them with shadow lances as she circles around to the enemies flank.+
VJockey (01:14:52): "...Ew."
cubey@aol.pl (01:15:00): The R-Gun fires its... well, gun. Powerful energy projectiles fly through the air!
VJockey (01:15:03): "Ew ew ew ew ew."
Meraxa (01:15:39): Ken: Volya, to think you'd already be like that...
cubey@aol.pl (01:15:50): Alright Lamia. One damaged, one down, the rest are in a different group - good going!
cubey@aol.pl (01:16:25): However some of the Flame Yobs put their goggles on (no idea why, they're robots) and fire flamethrowers - constant stream of burning materials threatens to roast those wings. React!
cubey@aol.pl (01:16:33): As for Volya's attack...
VJockey (01:16:38): "... Leave me alone Judas Ninja!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:16:40): Constans: "Not if I have a say!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:16:54): Blue Blood positions itself in front of the barrage and tanks it - with only minor damage!
Meraxa (01:17:11): #Lamia
cubey@aol.pl (01:17:25): Constans: "Such a shame. Why is it that my shield was broken a long time prior?"
cubey@aol.pl (01:17:26): Approved.
aldo salt (01:18:00): "Er…that's not what I meant!" Dido says hastily with a cough. "I mean, er, bondage in the sense of those guys being bound by a Knightly code of honor! Yeah!" She coughs again.
Meraxa (01:18:57): Ken: ...Oi. Thats my schtick. *ScarleTiger races in from behind...* SCARLET SHOTELS! *And attempts to cleave those flamethrowers in two, with his blades+
Ishikar3 (01:19:06): *Angelg flaps it's wings powerfully as she pushes away from the path of the flames and gains altitude and a better combat position.+
tengusaur (01:19:31): Hetepheres: "That unit is both agile and resistant. Clearly it is more powerful than Robber Baron."
cubey@aol.pl (01:19:55): Cleaving might be too much. Ken manages to damage them somewhat at least... and the streams are knocked out of aim, Angelg easily getting above them.
cubey@aol.pl (01:20:28): Desta: "There's two of them working in unison, some duel this is."
cubey@aol.pl (01:20:37): Russel, Ken, go now.
cubey@aol.pl (01:20:56): Also, the Ancilla managed to writhe out of Interitus' grasp, though fortunately it did not damage the vines.
Ginkan SK (01:21:21): Russel is still in the fight and he fires off several shots from his rifle as he keeps his machine mouving before he fires off a grenade hopein his eariler shots are distraction. "I known bandits with better codes of honor than you!"+
Meraxa (01:21:29): Ken: And to finish... *Ken turns on his heels, ans attempts to slice across the yobs themselves!+
Meraxa (01:22:29): (*and)
cubey@aol.pl (01:22:34): Double take down. The yobs are cut into burning halves!
cubey@aol.pl (01:23:07): Blue Blood parries the bullets with its sword, the blade moving at lightning speed!
cubey@aol.pl (01:23:24): Constans: "You still insist on... aah?"
cubey@aol.pl (01:23:34): The grenade explodes in its face!
cubey@aol.pl (01:24:31): But the resulting explosion is cut with a beam of light - the Ancilla fires at Russel's Gespenst mk II Custom, the beam slow but arching and changing direction mid-flight like a snake.
cubey@aol.pl (01:24:35): React!
frifreeman (01:24:41): Walt: "Come on Dido, you know that all knights are bondaged to their master."
VJockey (01:24:41): #RUSSEL
cubey@aol.pl (01:24:59): Also, as the explosion dissipates, you see that the Blue Blood is still standing, and the damage is not significant yet.
cubey@aol.pl (01:25:00): Approved.
cubey@aol.pl (01:25:11): Dido, Hetepheres, Walt, go.
aldo salt (01:25:12): "Tell me about it!" Dido exclaims, starring at the curving beams with horror.
aldo salt (01:25:48): [How many Yobs left?]
cubey@aol.pl (01:25:58): Chain Yob x5, Blaze Yob x3, Razor Yob x5, Muzzle Yob x4 (1 damaged)
VJockey (01:26:20): *Sadly odds are those tentacles won't stay too undamaged. They redirect themselves at the curving beam - soon joined by more seeking to sap it of its energy - every one that gets burned away replaced by another, and another.+
aldo salt (01:28:26): *Dido grits her teeth. "…no help for it! ShelLancer, get going!" ShelLancer charges forward, raising it's lance up over it's head! Then she sends it swinging into the clumb of Chain Yobs like a baseball bat, the edge of the lance charged with a coating of man-made lightning!+
aldo salt (01:28:48): *clump
aldo salt (01:29:00): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69LAEnLxPNc
tengusaur (01:29:07): * Hetepheres disengages from the group she was attacking, her barrier changing to silver. She unleashes Scaraber's whip, swinging it widely towards one of the Razor Yobs, trying to grab it and then smash it into another enemy unit - and then run strong electrical currents through both! +
aldo salt (01:29:38): "C'mon!" Dido shouts. "Show me what you've got!"
tengusaur (01:30:22): Hetepheres: "Flee for your lives, you miscreant fools."
cubey@aol.pl (01:30:43): Constans: "Ha, they make for servants far too loyal to flee in a situation like this!"
Ginkan SK (01:31:18): Russel attempts to evade as quick as he can+
cubey@aol.pl (01:31:27): The Razors and the Chains (sounds like gang names) are both electrified in their own different ways.
cubey@aol.pl (01:31:31): Also, you have support.
tengusaur (01:31:32): Hetepheres: "In that case, let us see if that loyalty remains after their leader is no more!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:31:37): Ilinka: "There!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:31:46): Desta: "Shooting THESE guys is fine, right? Hmph."
cubey@aol.pl (01:32:32): A quick barrage from beam pistols (but powerful ones) helps Hetepheres while Ilinka's precise shots take care of whatever remained from the group attacked by Dido.
aldo salt (01:33:07): "Thanks for the support!" Dido says, throwing a salute at the two. "Can you focus on the ranged Yobs? Let the melee models flock towards me!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:33:39): Now, for Russel - and Volya...
cubey@aol.pl (01:33:52): The vines are hurt by the beam and singe from its power...
tengusaur (01:34:00): Hetepheres: "Good support. Continue doing that."
cubey@aol.pl (01:34:05): But also start taking it for themselves. Interitus feels a surge of energy!
cubey@aol.pl (01:34:17): The beam is reduced to a small stream that Russel easily evades.
cubey@aol.pl (01:34:25): Erle: "Ah."
cubey@aol.pl (01:34:41): Constans: "What are you doing?! Get behind me and support, as is the proper place for a lady!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:34:43): Loni: "Chance!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:35:08): FightSaber rushes Blue Blood and starts swinging its chainsaw blade. The two are locked in melee now.
cubey@aol.pl (01:35:21): Without Ancilla's support, Loni is actually standing on equal footing with the enemy.
VJockey (01:35:23): "...Really?"
cubey@aol.pl (01:35:25): That is, before it begins again...
cubey@aol.pl (01:35:35): Walt, Lamia, Volya, go now.
aldo salt (01:35:39): "Ooh snap!" Dido says. "You done goofed Constans! Your mistress is So going to discipline you for that!"
Meraxa (01:36:10): Ken: Dido don't encourage the enemy!
tengusaur (01:36:29): Hetepheres: "There must be something about the Lady's Good Men that attracts just the worst people."
VJockey (01:36:37): *Well... Volya is probably going to regret this buuuuut.... desperate times call for desperate measures. More tentacles lash out towards the Ancilla, but several also go towards the Fightsaber! Why?
VJockey (01:36:57): ".... Please... PLEASE don't make me regret this."
VJockey (01:37:44): Well Loni's going to find the Fightsaber getting all that power Volya drank out of the beam, and possibly more if those other tentacles reach Erle's machine and drain off of it!+
aldo salt (01:38:07): "Hey!" Dido protests. "Better they beat on each other than beat on us!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:38:42): Ancilla's pilot knows better now - she aims her beam like a cutting implement, trying to burn the tentacles before they can drain the projectile's power!
cubey@aol.pl (01:38:44): React, Volya.
aldo salt (01:39:02): #Volya?
Ginkan SK (01:39:05): Russel lucks out thanks to support form his comrades and is able to get out of harms way.
cubey@aol.pl (01:39:10): Approved.
frifreeman (01:40:32): Walt: "Don't encourage them, Dido. Everyone, focus fire on the blue thingy!" Since they're already in three different places anyway, The genoace team pops out from behind their hiding spot and fires at the same enemy, the blue mistress.+
aldo salt (01:41:02): *"Yo, Erle!" Dido shouts, sending a trio of Arc Thorns whistling towards the Ancilla's chest. "Your choice! Cut the tendrils…or don't get skewered!+
cubey@aol.pl (01:41:19): (The Blue Blood's pilot is male by the way. It's Ancilla's who is female)
VJockey (01:41:26): *Crap! Well if that's the case go straight for the source! Sure many are probably gonna get burned on the way but they weave as frantically as the beam did before to get to the Ancilla. Hopefully the speed of the beams would help out here.+
Ishikar3 (01:42:14): *As Ancilla take a moment to attack Volya's tenticles Lamia takes aim and unleashes an illusion arrow from behind.+
cubey@aol.pl (01:42:43): Erle: "I'll take the latter, thank you very much."
cubey@aol.pl (01:43:11): Ancilla quickly floats away - evading Dido's Arc Thorns, but also Interitus' tentacles, neither cutting them nor letting itself be drained by them.
cubey@aol.pl (01:43:21): But it gets an arrow to the... torso, anyway.
cubey@aol.pl (01:43:31): It explodes, causing damage to the unit!
cubey@aol.pl (01:43:42): Constans: "... Erle?"
cubey@aol.pl (01:43:49): And then FightSaber gets Interitus' boost.
cubey@aol.pl (01:43:58): Loni: "Alright! Now we're talking!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:44:03): Loni: "You ready for this?!"
aldo salt (01:44:03): "A wise move!" Dido says. "You missed one, though!"
aldo salt (01:44:13): "Well…you didn't miss one." She amends.
VJockey (01:44:16): "...You're welcome."
cubey@aol.pl (01:44:35): With powerful swings, FightSaber slashes its fiery blade across Blue Blood's chest, damaging it and then kicking off towards a ruined building.
cubey@aol.pl (01:45:30): Loni: "I got him now! Who's the man?"
cubey@aol.pl (01:45:40): Loni: "Thanks."
cubey@aol.pl (01:46:04): Constans: "Looks like my plan... urgh, curses. My plan might have been rather far fetched..."
aldo salt (01:46:10): "Don't get cocky, Loni!" Dido chides. "It's not over until you see their super mode!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:46:16): Constans: "Time to rethink the strategy. Time to retreat!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:46:23): Erle: "... Yes, I agree."
aldo salt (01:46:30): "Or not…" Dido amends.
cubey@aol.pl (01:46:36): The Lady's Good Men units try to flee!
cubey@aol.pl (01:46:46): Ingram: "We must stop them."
cubey@aol.pl (01:46:53): Loni: "You fought well. Constans, was it?"
cubey@aol.pl (01:47:03): Constans: "... What's your name?"
tengusaur (01:47:04): Hetepheres: "Focus fire on Blue Blood."
cubey@aol.pl (01:47:10): Loni: "Apollonius Gavin. Call me Loni."
cubey@aol.pl (01:47:18): Constans: "Gavin... I'll remember that."
tengusaur (01:47:34): Hetepheres: "Try to capture it, if possible!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:47:47): FightSaber stands in front of Blue Blood... but it rests its blade on a shoulder and does nothing as the enemy evacuates!
cubey@aol.pl (01:48:03): (If someone wants to stop the escaping Good Men, make an @ action)
tengusaur (01:48:13): @
Ishikar3 (01:48:16): @
cubey@aol.pl (01:48:21): All approved by the way.
aldo salt (01:48:25): @
cubey@aol.pl (01:48:33): Approved.
aldo salt (01:48:36): [Are any passing near the groves of Arc Thorns?]
cubey@aol.pl (01:48:56): (No, they flee in the opposite direction)
cubey@aol.pl (01:49:18): (Well, the Yobs might)
tengusaur (01:49:24): * Hetepheres rushes forward, swinging Scaraber's whip over its head. She swings it towards Blue Blood, trying to catch one of its limbs and stop it right in its tracks! +
VJockey (01:49:50): [Yeah...Volya's not good at the whole chasing after people thing...]
aldo salt (01:51:07): *As the Yobs flee over and near the wrecks of their comrades…Dido raises ShelLancer's lance and spins up it's Tesla Coils. "Lance Shock in 3, 2, 1!" Lightning arcs across the gap to the carpet of Arc Thorns buried in the concrete…then leaps towards the fleeing Yobs!+
Meraxa (01:51:34): Ken tries to lash out with his whip, and see if he can drop a few yobs down before they flee+
Ishikar3 (01:51:36): *Lamia takes aim once more at the fleeing Ancilla and launches another Illusion arrow at the damaged unit's back, aiming for the same wound she had caused before in hopes to destroy the unit.+
Ginkan SK (01:52:27): @
cubey@aol.pl (01:52:31): Go for it
Ginkan SK (01:54:36): Russel can't get a good luck on the Yobs as they flee with his rifle, on the other hand? He's got split Missiles and away they go. The pods break off the back of his machine. and away the missiles go at the YOBs+
cubey@aol.pl (01:55:26): Lamia and Hetepheres find that their attacks are stopped cold!
frifreeman (01:55:42): On the other hand, walt stops his team from shooting Walt: "Please don't shoot at fleeing enemies. It's saddening."
cubey@aol.pl (01:55:45): Yobs take them on by acting as meatshields.
cubey@aol.pl (01:56:13): Because of that, Blue Blood and Ancilla flee too far away to be pursued!
cubey@aol.pl (01:56:38): Loni: "I'm glad actually. We'll fight again, Constans. And I'll defeat you one on one, without any tricks."
cubey@aol.pl (01:57:06): Loni and Desta join into taking down the Yobs. Between them, Russel and the SolSavior team, the mook units are wiped out.
cubey@aol.pl (01:57:39): Ingram: "Escaping?"
cubey@aol.pl (01:57:44): Ingram: "I don't think so."
aldo salt (01:58:15): "Huh…" Dido muses. "You have an honest-to-god enemy Rival now, Loni!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:58:19): The R-Gun transforms! The whole unit turns into a giant cannon... and starts charging up!
cubey@aol.pl (01:58:36): Loni: "Yeah! And I'm really... Ingram?"
cubey@aol.pl (01:58:55): Ingram: "Metal Genocider Mode, engaged."
cubey@aol.pl (01:59:13): R-Gun shines with blue power.
frifreeman (01:59:16): Walt: "That doesn't sound like a good mode at all."
cubey@aol.pl (01:59:19): Ingram: "Fire!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:59:31): It unleashes a huge beam of energy!
cubey@aol.pl (01:59:52): The beam is long-ranged and can easily destroy anything it engulfs! There is no escape for the Lady's Good Men.
cubey@aol.pl (01:59:56): Loni: "Nooooo! My rival!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:00:03): Except...
Meraxa (02:00:05): Ken: ...Can't call it inaccurate though...
cubey@aol.pl (02:00:06): They are not the target.
cubey@aol.pl (02:00:10): You are.
cubey@aol.pl (02:00:14): Everyone react.
VJockey (02:00:19): "?!?!"
tengusaur (02:00:19): Hetepheres: "You will find a new o-"
VJockey (02:00:26): #EVERYONE!
tengusaur (02:00:26): Hetepheres: "!"
frifreeman (02:00:50): Walt: "I knew it didn't sound good at all..."
aldo salt (02:01:28): "What?!!?!!!" Dido stares wide-eyed at the incoming blast, hesitating before putting up a shoulder shield and dodging to the left!+
tengusaur (02:01:33): * Scaraber starts to evade rapidly,dropping down to the ground and zooming around just above it! If she somehow gets hit, Hetepheres hopes that the Noble Barrier will hold... +
cubey@aol.pl (02:01:58): Volya - rejected, everyone has to fight for their lives now. Including you!
frifreeman (02:02:47): The genoace might be able to shoot down enemies now because of the dods gun, but the mech themselves are still as mooky as ever.
VJockey (02:02:59): *RUNRUNRUNRUN! Well. DIG really. Interitus dives into the ground in a burst of tentacles to tunnel to safety!+
frifreeman (02:03:48): Walt: "Everyone, run for your life!" There's nothing else to do other than boosting as hard as they can now. "Spread out!" Walt yells, "...so maybe at least one of us can survive..."
frifreeman (02:03:52): +
Ishikar3 (02:03:53): *Lamia seems to be caught in the blast radius but as the beam approaches the angelg seems to blur and dissappear as it connects. Miraculously she appears to be out of the line of fire further ahead on her path.+ Lamia: "I never imagined it would be a traitorous ally to reveal that equipment to the world at large."
Meraxa (02:04:33): Ken: Why that...! DRIVE mode! *Ken transforms, and putting on the nitro, tries to speed away. But can even sound evade this attack..+
Meraxa (02:04:38): *?
Ginkan SK (02:05:48): Russel is getting back a suickly as he can at this point not wanting to get in the way. "... INGRAM?!"+
cubey@aol.pl (02:08:16): Your units shake, grazed by the powerful beam!
Ishikar3 (02:08:17): Lamia: "This also brings several questions about how the lady's good men knew about Unity Group technology."
Meraxa (02:08:40): Ken: Ingram, you...!
tengusaur (02:09:32): Hetepheres: "Major. Explain yourself."
cubey@aol.pl (02:09:40): The SHellancer suffered the worst of it - as well as Angelg. Lamia evaded the epicenter of the beam, but the place where she was brought by the dual image system still was under the attack.
cubey@aol.pl (02:09:51): The one who really suffered most, though...
cubey@aol.pl (02:09:55): Ilinka: "Aaaah!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:10:04): Loni: "Ilinka! Ingram you sonofabitch!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:10:29): The Gespenst falls down, having lost most of its left side. Fortunately the cockpit was not hit.
cubey@aol.pl (02:10:41): Ingram: "Tell me. Tell me one thing."
cubey@aol.pl (02:10:44): Ingram: "Do you hate me?"
aldo salt (02:10:45): "…Dammit!" Dido says, as alarms blare in her cockpit. She slams a fist at bulkhead…then again, and again! "Not again! Not another backstab from another freaking traitor!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:11:01): The R-Gun stands in the center of the base - now destroyed even more heavily.
Meraxa (02:11:06): Ken: You're damn right!
cubey@aol.pl (02:11:10): You detect incoming enemies.
cubey@aol.pl (02:11:13): Aerogators!
cubey@aol.pl (02:11:34): Ingram: "Good. Hate me then. Cherish your hate. Grow stronger."
cubey@aol.pl (02:11:39): Ingram: "And defeat me... if you can!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:11:58): Loni: "You were a traitor from the beginning! I knew we couldn't trust this guy!"
VJockey (02:12:16): "..."
Ishikar3 (02:12:21): Lamia: "So, the Aerogater invasion was planned for far longer than we anticipated. At least we know the real face of our enemy at this point."
cubey@aol.pl (02:12:23): Aerogator Bugs come from the skies and surround the R-Gun... in formation with it.
tengusaur (02:12:28): Hetepheres: "Aerogators... Are you working with them? Or were you one of them all along?"
aldo salt (02:12:32): "We're a ways beyond hate!" Dido snarls. "You should have aimed better, Commander Ingram…cause we're coming for you!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:12:36): Ingram: "That's right."
VJockey (02:12:43): "...Why?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:13:04): Ingram: "Aleph Barshem. That is my real name. A Balmarian spy, sent to Earth to infiltrate it."
frifreeman (02:13:12): Walt: "Oh, I can think a dozen different reason to betray the unity group."
cubey@aol.pl (02:13:13): Ingram: "To make sure it is strong enough to be worth our efforts."
Ginkan SK (02:13:19): Russel "Ingram, wait what are you doing....!" Russel had a history with the SRX project but this was not somehing he saw coming not at all here.+ "...I will stop.... what?! A Balmarian?"
frifreeman (02:13:31): Walt: "...that's not one of them though..."
tengusaur (02:13:49): Hetepheres: "So this is how your people call themselves."
cubey@aol.pl (02:14:03): Ingram: "Ze Balmary Empire - what you call Aerogators. It collects strong warriors to add to ranks of its own army. Earth picques our interest."
Meraxa (02:14:06): Ken: ...We're not worth taking on without a real fight?
cubey@aol.pl (02:14:16): Ingram: "So, grow stronger. Even stronger, so that you may be worthwhile soldiers!"
Meraxa (02:14:20): Ken: ...for that reason.
cubey@aol.pl (02:14:25): Loni: "Fuck you!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:14:30): Loni: "I'll just take you down here and now!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:14:37): Ingram: "... You are free to try, brat."
aldo salt (02:14:39): "…so the Aerogators are humanoid too!" Dido snarls. "…Jesus, the Protoculture has a lot to answer for!"
tengusaur (02:14:47): Hetepheres: "I might not be an Earthling, but I shall show you that, if anything, you have underestimated their strength."
cubey@aol.pl (02:14:50): New enemies (Aerogators): Megillot x30, R-Gun
cubey@aol.pl (02:15:00): Russel, Ken, Dido, go.
tengusaur (02:15:04): Hetepheres: "Someone take Ilinka our of here."
cubey@aol.pl (02:15:36): Desta: "This gun's long ranged, if he wanted her dead he only has to fire it again."
Ginkan SK (02:15:37): Russel has nothing else legt o say he flips the folding two way canon out and starts firing off shots into the MEgilot ranks as he's got the intent to close with Ingram but the bugs are in the way.+
Ishikar3 (02:15:41): Lamia: "I believe it would be wise if Loni were to do so. He is not emotionally stable enough to continue battle in this situation."
tengusaur (02:16:13): Hetepheres: "Then do not let him fire it again."
cubey@aol.pl (02:16:28): Desta: "If you want to live, there's no choice but to destroy all aerogators now."
frifreeman (02:16:29): Walt: "If we're truly worthy warriors shouldn't we be able to defeat you, though?"
aldo salt (02:16:43): "…I'll get Ilinka!" Dido offers, after looking at her armor integrity readings. "I don't think we can talk Loni down from this..."
cubey@aol.pl (02:16:57): Three Megillots explode from Russel's fire. Several more counter with circle lasers!
cubey@aol.pl (02:16:59): React!
cubey@aol.pl (02:17:45): Ingram: "Good point. Why don't you try for yourself?"
Meraxa (02:17:55): Ken: My sentiments exactly. We're already dealing with enough alien invasions, we can add you to the list! *ScarleTiger drifts around with a sharp screeeee, before changing into humanoid form. He leaps for Ingram... or rather, attempts to skim by him, to cut at several aerogaters nearby+
aldo salt (02:19:03): *Dido moves to where Ilinka's Gespenst has crash-landed, and bends her mecha down. Can Ilinka climb into ShelLancer's cockpit, or is she incapacitated? &
cubey@aol.pl (02:19:06): Megillots scatter - perhaps trying to converge on Ken? But he manages to cut two of them before they can attack!
cubey@aol.pl (02:19:39): However, Ingram himself smirks (not that you can see it) and slashes at damaged ScarleTiger's exposed side. Defend against the beam gladius!
tengusaur (02:19:57): # Ken
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:03): Ilinka's Gespenst mk II Kai tries to aim its right hand-held beam rifle.
Ginkan SK (02:20:08): Russel attemps to contiune evading at this point hoping timing his movments as he sees the tell tell sign of laser weapons being readied.+
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:08): Ilinka: "I can still fight..."
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:15): She's not hurt, but very foolhardy.
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:19): Approved, Hetepheres.
tengusaur (02:21:33): * "Bitles, go forth!" Four small drones pop out from slots in scaraber's back armor! With a commanding gesture Hetepheres sends them flying forward, and they zoom towards the R-Gun, trying to fend off its attack by shooting a defensive barrage of beams! +
cubey@aol.pl (02:21:38): Russel runs out of place to dodge, but he manages to evade all but one laser. The circular beam cuts into Gespenst's armor - a little. You're okay.
Meraxa (02:21:39): Ken tries to twist around at Ingram's approach, leaning back from the gladius as a leg rises to try and kick the traitorous swine!+
cubey@aol.pl (02:22:52): The gladius's beam blade is evaded, a cleaving strike turned into a glancing blow.
aldo salt (02:22:54): Dido: "…yeah, you can." She says at last. ShelLancer picks up the Gespenst…and settles it over it's shoulder. "But you can't move with your trashed legs: grab onto me, and shoot anything heading towards us, okay?"
Ginkan SK (02:23:06): Russel "That was close..."
cubey@aol.pl (02:23:23): On the other hand, R-Gun is hit back with the kick, and bombarded by beams - which probably threw Ingram's attack off, too.
cubey@aol.pl (02:23:37): Still, he is serious! He was aiming with an intent to kill!
cubey@aol.pl (02:24:19): Ilinka: "No. I must fight. I cannot retreat, not while Loni and Desta..."
cubey@aol.pl (02:24:23): Loni: "Ilinka."
cubey@aol.pl (02:24:27): Loni: "Go. Just go."
cubey@aol.pl (02:24:34): Ilinka: "... Roger..."
cubey@aol.pl (02:24:43): Grasp on the Gespenst secured, Dido. Continue!
aldo salt (02:27:00): *With the Gespenst riding on ShelLancer piggy-back style, Dido and Ilinka move away from the action. Dido rounds the corner of one of the buildings, getting out of site of the main battle!+
cubey@aol.pl (02:27:26): Hetepheres, Walt, go.
aldo salt (02:27:45): Then she pauses. "Ilinka," She asks. "Look around. Do you see anywhere that'd be a good snipping position?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:27:46): Dido managed to rescue Ilinka, without much interception from the megillots.
cubey@aol.pl (02:28:18): Probably because ShotSaber wields a graviton rifle (rather than the usual beam pistols) and shots down any that try to interfere!
cubey@aol.pl (02:28:52): Ilinka: "... There."
cubey@aol.pl (02:29:05): She sounds very displeased, but highlights a hill near the base.
tengusaur (02:29:51): * Hetepheres: "And now, towards offense. Witness the might of Geb, major! Scarab Power!" A burst of energy emanates from Scaraber just as its barrier shifts to golden, and a small rod ejects from its armor and spins upwards. Hetepheres catches it and unfolds it into a full length staff, bracing against ground and gathering energy in its tip! After a second, a huge laser fires high into the sky, and she tries to catch R-Gun and any Aerogators that are on the way in it! +
frifreeman (02:30:06): Walt: "I can still tell you guys my dozen reason on why someone would want to betray unity group, if anyone are still interested." Walt's genoace pops out from behind a rubble, a bit singed, but still moving. "Everyone, open the way so the more powerful guys can move toward the traitor, would you?" He says as he opens fire at the megillot, trying to clear the way or line of fire toward R-Gun.+
cubey@aol.pl (02:30:50): Walt's team shoots down megillots that are on the way! Because of that, Hetepheres can hit the R-Gun.
cubey@aol.pl (02:31:01): Ingram: "I won't go down as easily."
cubey@aol.pl (02:31:28): He jukes to the side while countering fire with the magna beam rifle - a desperate counter attack, maybe? React, Hetepheres!
aldo salt (02:32:02): "Alright." Dido says, dropping Ilinka and the Gespenst over there and just behind the hill. "Hold your fire, Ilinka. Wait until we've trimmed down the enemy count. Then take a shot just when Ingram and his chums least expect it!"
aldo salt (02:32:05): "Got it?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:32:40): Ilinka: "Yes."
tengusaur (02:33:51): * Hetepheres herself sends Scaraber jumping in the opposite direction - she doesn't have many ways to defend against beams in her barrier's current phase! But with Scarab Power, Scaraber is faster than normally, and she tries to hide behind some damaged installations as improvised cover. +
aldo salt (02:33:59): "Good luck." Dido says. "And don't be afraid to bail if you have to!" With that, ShelLancer takes a sideways route back towards the battlefield!
cubey@aol.pl (02:34:09): Scaraber indeed is fast.
cubey@aol.pl (02:34:16): And that laser heavily damages the R-Gun!
cubey@aol.pl (02:34:24): In fact, it starts to crack...
cubey@aol.pl (02:34:36): Its outer armor bursts open!
cubey@aol.pl (02:34:49): Ingram: "I told you, general Hetepheres."
cubey@aol.pl (02:35:05): The unit's new form stands tall, having emerged from within. It is over twice as tall now.
cubey@aol.pl (02:35:12): http://www.mahq.net/mecha/srw/og1/agx-13.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (02:35:21): Ingram: "I will not go down so easily."
cubey@aol.pl (02:35:48): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHQS3hWxMH8
cubey@aol.pl (02:35:58): Lamia, Volya, go.
tengusaur (02:36:12): Hetepheres: "...All along, a Balmarian machine was hiding inside."
cubey@aol.pl (02:36:13): Ingram: "Gun Slave. Go."
Ishikar3 (02:36:19): Lamia: "To have subverted the development of the R-gun so completely. You were not alone in your betrayal were you Ingram?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:36:48): R-Gun Rivale unleashes a swarm of bits. Their number is far superior to the Bitles!
cubey@aol.pl (02:37:03): (No attacks directed at anyone, but people who take on R-Gun rivale will find it... difficult)
Ishikar3 (02:37:29): Lamia: (over a direct Channel) "Volya, can you hold Ingram's unit for a moment, I may have something that can help turn the tides of this battle."
cubey@aol.pl (02:38:10): Ingram: "Do not think I am going to reveal everything to you. After all, you are not without things to hide yourself."
VJockey (02:38:40): "...I can try."
Ishikar3 (02:39:17): Lamia: "Good, I'll draw his attention to me as I move to position. I'll strike when you're ready." With that Lamia begins to close the distance.
VJockey (02:39:55): [Deep breath... okay... just... need to keep moving... ]
VJockey (02:40:00): "R... ready!"
Ginkan SK (02:40:55): Russel "We been played..." Wose it makes Russel wonder how mahy other agents there are from these aliens within earth.
Ishikar3 (02:42:06): *At Volya's call Lamia turns Angleg into a full on charge towards the R-Gun Rivale. The beams from the bits deflect from her armor as she dodges the worst of the fire. When she draws close enough the bits surround her and are about to fire.& "Now Volya!"
VJockey (02:43:42): *At that call, Interitus' tentacles explode out from its underground hiding place up towards the R-Gun both to drain its energy and restrain it! One trick pony Interitus may be right now... but it does do its job well!+
cubey@aol.pl (02:43:49): Indeed Lamia, you have gun slave bits to worry about. Those beams fire at you from all directions - and they are powerful, strong enough to overpower the beam coating, at least! React/continue.
cubey@aol.pl (02:44:26): Ingram: "Hmph."
cubey@aol.pl (02:44:59): Tentacles coil themselves around Rivale's legs... but the unit's arms suddenly sprout beam blades - rotating beam blades!
cubey@aol.pl (02:45:17): Ingram tries to use the roche blades to cut the vines off! React, Volya!
aldo salt (02:45:53): #Volya?
cubey@aol.pl (02:46:13): Approved.
Ishikar3 (02:47:27): *As the beams converge on Angelg it's no longer there instead he sees an alert from behind. "I would have thought you wouldn't have forgotten this so quickly. Secret art, Mirage Sign!" The Angelg then breaks into 5 copies and begins to close in a rapid sequence of attacks with it's beam saber againt the Rivale, culminating in a 5 way dashing slash that leaves behind the image of a pentagram surrounding the unit with an Angelg fading from four of the points leaving the real one ahead and to the right of her foe.+
VJockey (02:49:27): *Crap! Well this complicates matters, Interitus severs the tentacles already clinging to the R-Gun... now this may seem like he was quick to give up... but the tentacles that were still clinging to the R Blade spasm wildly before exploding into a tangling growth that attempts to do its best to really give Ingram a bad day.+
aldo salt (02:50:26): *And to top that off…a quintet of Arc Thorns go whistling towards the Gun-Slave's flank, a distraction in a fashion worthy of Tuxedo Mask! "You better watch out…INGRAAM!!" Dido snarls. +
cubey@aol.pl (02:51:13): Interitus' gambit paid off! Also, Angelg may take some damage and is singed from beams here and there, its coating draining power rather fast... but the whole lot of you manage to cut into R-Gun Rivale!
cubey@aol.pl (02:51:14): Also
cubey@aol.pl (02:51:19): Loni: "YOOOOUUUUU!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:51:40): FightSaber hefts its flaming sword and slashes down in a cleaving downward blow!
cubey@aol.pl (02:51:44): All of these attacks...
cubey@aol.pl (02:51:54): Cause surprisingly little damage - and little energy is drained.
cubey@aol.pl (02:52:11): Some kind of field warps space around the R-Gun Rivale, making your hits quickly lose momentum!
cubey@aol.pl (02:52:28): Ingram: "Heh."
cubey@aol.pl (02:53:02): The roche sabers are occupied, but Rivale can kick FightSaber away like a piece of junk. The unit takes to the skies, away from Angelg and ripping free off Interitus' entanglement.
cubey@aol.pl (02:53:08): Russel, Ken, Dido, go.
aldo salt (02:53:23): "Damn!" Dido curses. "Is it a gravity field generator he's got…or something bigger?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:53:26): Also, the air is thick with megillots and gun slaves...
cubey@aol.pl (02:53:37): But suddenly some of them are caught in gunfire and explode!
tengusaur (02:54:09): Hetepheres: "Pay attention to these units. Do not let them overwhelm you..."
cubey@aol.pl (02:54:10): From the city's direction, reinforcements are coming!
cubey@aol.pl (02:54:29): Genoaces, pained red and white (which color was up again? It doesn't matter), firing their beam spray guns.
cubey@aol.pl (02:54:36): As well as TSFs with physical assault guns.
cubey@aol.pl (02:54:47): Russian-made TSFs.
cubey@aol.pl (02:55:06): ???: "How are you holding, Unity Group?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:55:12): This is a familiar female voice!
Ginkan SK (02:55:18): Russel isn't going to mess about at this point he levels the F2W Cannon and it flips out he grabs the barrle and fires a powerful beam blast trying to get a hit in on Ingram.
Ginkan SK (02:55:19): +
cubey@aol.pl (02:55:27): ???: "We will suppress the bugs, focus on the leader."
VJockey (02:55:42): "E..Eh!?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:55:56): Sounds like a certain Russian batallion commander, you met a while ago.
tengusaur (02:56:00): Hetepheres: "Your assistance is appreciated. Make sure not to draw the major's attention, his machine is extremely strong."
Meraxa (02:57:05): Ken: A bit better now you've turned up! *A slight cheer enters Ken's voice, as the ScarleTiger charges the Rivale.* FACE FLAME! *And attempts to melt through it, a scorching streak of flame pouring out from its head+
aldo salt (02:59:25): *"Right then!" Dido says, taking a breath and centering herself. "I've got this!" Before the reinforcements get in melee range, ShelLancer raises it's Lance, pointing it at the remaining Megillots and Gun Slaves in the air! "Arc Thorns…Relaunching!"
aldo salt (02:59:26): She empties her shoulder Silos of every last Arc Thorn. The intact Arc Thorns on the ground launch upwards too! Some pierce the enemy, some miss, and as they all reach their apogee and start to descend… "Lance Shock…Discharging!" Dido creates a little thunderstorm and arcs through her aerial minefield!+
cubey@aol.pl (03:00:01): Russel's cannon blast and Ken's fiery attack graze against the Rivale - which quickly takes to the skies!
aldo salt (03:00:32): *that arcs
cubey@aol.pl (03:00:49): You can continue with the attack, but watch out - because the unit's chest opens, revealing a large cannon. Around it, some kind of mystical circle appears, and black matter starts charging in preparation for, undoubtedly, a huge blast.
cubey@aol.pl (03:01:07): Ingram: "I intend to finish this in one shot. Prepare yourselves!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:01:12): Russel, Ken, react!
Meraxa (03:02:14): Ken: Get over here! *ScarleTiger leaps up, and lashes out its whip. Ken is gonna try and drag that bastard back down to Earth, maybe throwing off Ingram's aim in the process!+
cubey@aol.pl (03:02:17): Dido destroys a moderately large group of megillots - the rest is effectivelly suppressed by reinforcements, which is good. Also, damaged gun slaves are forced to retreat towards Rivale - which does its own thing now, unfortunately.
Ishikar3 (03:02:44): Lamia: "It almost appears like one of Shu Shirakawa's attacks. Be ready to pull back if it looks lie it's about to fire."
aldo salt (03:03:19): "…Ah! Dodge dodge dodge!" Dido and ShelLancer backstep frantically as the spent Arc Thorns round fall back to earth near her!
Ginkan SK (03:08:31): Russel stare for a moment and he attemps to brace him self for the attack he's got no real way to get out of harms way from a beam like that+
cubey@aol.pl (03:09:45): Ingram: "Axiom Buster."
cubey@aol.pl (03:10:11): The Rivale shoots out a pitch black beam! "Dead End Shoot!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:10:51): Russel and the two SolSavior component units are hit. Ken's attempts at disturbing Ingram's aim were unsuccessful!
cubey@aol.pl (03:11:18): The three of you find yourselves in a dark field - and suddenly, from all directions balls of force pummel you.
Meraxa (03:11:22): Ken: Guh-Arrrrrgh!
cubey@aol.pl (03:11:26): It's not like Shu's black holes, it's a different effect altogether.
cubey@aol.pl (03:11:46): When it dissipates, the Gespenst and ShellLancer are barely functional.
cubey@aol.pl (03:12:05): ScarleTiger is damaged to the point that it enters emergency shut down.
cubey@aol.pl (03:12:14): Ingram: "Is that all?"
aldo salt (03:12:14): *"Ah!" Dido shouts, flung about in her cockpit by the hail of blasts.
cubey@aol.pl (03:12:21): Hetepheres, Walt, go.
Meraxa (03:12:22): Ken: Nnnngh...
tengusaur (03:12:38): Hetepheres: "...You suffered too much damage. Retreat."
VJockey (03:12:40): "Dido! Ken!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:13:11): (Ken is DOWNED)
Ginkan SK (03:13:39): Russel "What just...." Russel's got alarms going offf and his machine should be down but well it's not and he can still whisper ... some preformace out of it
cubey@aol.pl (03:13:46): (Also I just realized that SHelLancer was not in fact attacked. My bad.)
aldo salt (03:14:28): Dido winces at the damage ScarleTiger suffered, both in sympathy for the pilot, and relief, she didn't get pounded in the same way.
tengusaur (03:15:15): * Hetepheres: "I will keep him occupied in the meantime!" Bitles zoom forward, firing small lasers, but that's mostly just a distraction. The main attack comes from Scaraber itself, which jumps right up, its wings buzzing, and brandishes all four swords. It starts flying around the R-Gun Rivale in close circles, slashing at it repeatedly with khopeshes vibrating at supersonic speed! +
aldo salt (03:15:38): "Ken!" Dido shouts. "Talk to me! You alright?"
aldo salt (03:15:45): "Say something!"
tengusaur (03:15:52): Hetepheres: "I must not let you use that weapon again, major."
cubey@aol.pl (03:16:00): Loni: "He won't die from something like that!"
Meraxa (03:16:56): Ken: Shut up... you idiot...
cubey@aol.pl (03:17:19): Ingram: "Good thinking. But even without the Buster, R-Gun Rivale is far from defenseless."
aldo salt (03:17:40): Dido lets out a sigh of relief. "Stay there, Ken." She chides. "Don't make me put you in the corner with Ilinka."
cubey@aol.pl (03:17:53): It emits the roche sabers again - they circle confusingly and clash against Hetepheres' kopeshes, threatening to overpower them. React!
frifreeman (03:17:56): Walt: "Geno! get Ken to safety! Alice and me will give you some cover!" Walt and Alice fires rapidly toward the R-Gun, not really minding the accuracy+
frifreeman (03:18:32): One of the Genoace moves closer to Ken. "Hey Ken, do you need some help?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:19:00): Ingram is kinda busy with Hetepheres, but those shots pepper mostly harmlessly against Rivale's armor (throwing it around a little nevertheless), so he sends several Gun Slaves down to shoot at the genoaces!
cubey@aol.pl (03:19:01): React!
Meraxa (03:19:33): Ken: Y-Yeah...
Ishikar3 (03:19:38): #Walt
tengusaur (03:19:50): * Hetepheres pushes with her khopeshes against the enemy's blades - they might be physical weapons, but with Scaraber's silver barrier, they should be able to resist for a moment. A moment long enough for Hetepheres to launch a surprise kick at her opponent and use that opportunity to disengage! +
cubey@aol.pl (03:20:22): Approved, Lamia.
aldo salt (03:20:42): In the meantime, Dido hangs back and takes a scan of the R-Gun Rivale. Is there any sign of where it's Tronium reactor is, or the generator for it's space distorting shield?
cubey@aol.pl (03:21:27): It's really hard to say Dido. Some weirdo physics are at work here. This unit does not work the same way that R-Gun did... or should have had!
Ishikar3 (03:21:49): *The glow of Angelg's wings begins to dim as the unit turns on the ground and lifts it's arm unleashing a few shadow lances to spoil the gunslave attack runs on the Genoaces.
Ishikar3 (03:21:52): +
frifreeman (03:22:27): Meanwhile, Walt pulls Alice's Genoace, and dives inside some ruined building.+
cubey@aol.pl (03:22:29): Scaraber clashes with Rivale, the blades prevailing long enough to kick the foe away. Unfortunately, R-Gun Rivale has superior reach and its weapons slash against Scaraber's armor as the two seperate. Damage is heavy!
cubey@aol.pl (03:22:49): The gunslaves are forced to dodge between the shadow lancers and their attack is, indeed, spoiled.
cubey@aol.pl (03:22:57): Surprisingly the genoaces took little damage here.
cubey@aol.pl (03:23:03): Lamia, Volya, go.
aldo salt (03:23:59): Dido curses, and is forced to make a guess. "It's a modified R-Gun, so it's still an R-Gun…" She muttered under her breath. "Which means it still has beam-emitters for the Metal Genocider in it's…!"
VJockey (03:24:00): "...What do I do...
VJockey (03:24:01): "
VJockey (03:24:08): "...!"
VJockey (03:24:11): "Dido!"
VJockey (03:24:17): "I need you to do something for me!"
tengusaur (03:24:24): Hetepheres: "This might be the most powerful enemy I have faced yet..."
VJockey (03:24:36): "...Miss Lamia, can you stall him?"
VJockey (03:24:44): "I... I think I have an idea..."
VJockey (03:24:46): "sort of..."
aldo salt (03:25:15): She opens a comm link to Volya and Heph. "Guys." He shouts. "The feet! Ingram's mecha may have exposed components in it's feet!"
aldo salt (03:25:23): She crosses her fingers and hopes she's right.
Ishikar3 (03:25:24): Lamia: "I still can't move as efficiently as I would like but I can try to do so and assist General Hetepheres."
aldo salt (03:25:35): "What do you need, Volya!" Dido asks.
aldo salt (03:25:48): "Anyway I can help, I'm your gal!"
tengusaur (03:25:51): Hetepheres: "You heard her. Try to aim for the feet."
VJockey (03:25:56): "...I need.... I need you to stab Interitus."
VJockey (03:26:11): "Tbbtttthhht!"
aldo salt (03:26:23): Dido chokes for a moment. Then her eyes widen. "…you sure that'll work?" She asks.
VJockey (03:26:43): "We're running out of ideas..."
VJockey (03:26:52): "Can't be worse than not doing anything..."
Ishikar3 (03:27:06): *Wtih that Lamia begins to push off into the air at a slower rate of speed than normal as she begins to circle the Rivale and sporadically fire off Shadow lances to attempt to spoil Ingram's aim or open a window for Heph.+
cubey@aol.pl (03:29:16): Ingram doesn't have enough gun slaves working - or maybe he's afraid of damaging them further. Anyway, R-Gun Rivale slides between the lances (not successfully, some hit it - but deal rather measly damage), and quickly engages in closer, roche sabers already ready for another melee attack!
cubey@aol.pl (03:29:17): Lamia, react.
aldo salt (03:30:29): "Right then!" Dido says. ShelLancer ejects it's last Arc Thorn from it's shoulder and tosses it gently towards Interitus! "Stick that in your shoulder, Volya!" She shouts. "I'll charge you up from a distance!"
aldo salt (03:32:21): She tweaks the settings of ShelLancer's Lance Shock, recalibrating it…for wireless power transmission!
Ishikar3 (03:32:37): Lamia: "Hrgg..." *Angelg pushes it's thrust downwards and away as it raises it's shield and saber as a desperate defense. "Volya I don't think I can distract him much longer."
VJockey (03:33:41): ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WymCvaaCSog )
aldo salt (03:34:47): @Volya?
cubey@aol.pl (03:34:50): Approved.
VJockey (03:36:46): *With a swift movement Interitus jams the arc thorn into its shoulder - vines curling around it tightly to draw the energy - several more lashing it down to the ground as it aims up - the Plant Creature's oddly placed eyes glowing a bright green as they lay their sight upon the R-Gun. It was but mere moments before it just unleashed all the power it took in with a massive viridian blast of energy that pushed it into the ground, straining its tethers to near breaking point - continuously drawing more and more energy to pump into the attack!+
aldo salt (03:37:46): "Let's go!" Dido raises ShelLancer's lance toward the Heavens! A new spark kindles around it's length, and soon the entire Lance is crackling with energy! "I'm breaking the piggy bank, Volya!" She shouts. "Carry my will with you! Ken's too! And kick. His Ass!"
aldo salt (03:39:07): A lower-voltage version of the Lance Shock shoots towards the Arc Thorn in Interitus's shoulder…and channel's ShelLancer's energy into her! Dido disables safeties, finneses reactor settings, and keeps the power flowing steadily into Interitus!
aldo salt (03:39:15): Volya! The Power. Is. Yours!+
cubey@aol.pl (03:39:24): The roche sabers start cutting into Angelg's shield - Lamia's blade can hold them off only for so long.
cubey@aol.pl (03:40:02): Interitus channels a lot of power through itself, by being the target of Shellancer's attack. That's really painful, for the plant creature and also for its "pilot!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:40:06): But
cubey@aol.pl (03:40:09): Your plan succeeds
cubey@aol.pl (03:40:15): R-Gun Rivale is washed in a giant green beam.
cubey@aol.pl (03:40:29): That's one thing the warp field won't defeat so easily... or will it?
cubey@aol.pl (03:40:54): Ingram: "..."
cubey@aol.pl (03:41:01): "I trust you will grow even stronger than that."
cubey@aol.pl (03:41:24): Ingram: "Ze Balmary will make good use of warriors such as you."
cubey@aol.pl (03:41:40): The beam has dissipated - it went high into the air, but finally disappears.
cubey@aol.pl (03:41:47): And the R-Gun Rivale still floats in the air, but it seems damaged.
cubey@aol.pl (03:41:50): It's also rapidly escaping!
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:02): Its megillot escort is all down, but it is too fast to catch up with.
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:13): Especially with the current state of most of you.
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:17): Pew!
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:25): As it flees, a single mega beam rifle shot flies through the sky.
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:31): Ilinka: "I... missed..."
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:41): MISSION OVER
VJockey (03:43:07): "..."
VJockey (03:43:18): [Interitus takes this moment to just fall over.]
aldo salt (03:43:19): Dido holds her breath…then lets it out again. "Don't worry, Ilinka. Odds are, we'll get another chance."
Ishikar3 (03:43:35): Angelg lands heavily on the ground. "
Ishikar3 (03:43:48): "That was far more dangerous than I expected this to be..."
aldo salt (03:43:51): Dido drops the lance and move ShelLancer forward to catch Volya and Interitus. "Guys! Are you alright?"
VJockey (03:44:00): "...Ow...."
tengusaur (03:44:16): Hetepheres: "...Anyone who needs a medivac or a transport for your machine, say so."
VJockey (03:44:16): [There's a slight noise on the other end.]
VJockey (03:44:19): "OW!"
VJockey (03:44:28): "Th...there's static charge in here..."
VJockey (03:44:38): "THat doesn't even make sense!"
tengusaur (03:44:42): Hetepheres: "Major Ingram is a terrifying opponent. And he is our enemy now."
Ginkan SK (03:44:53): Russel "...worse he was very highly placed..."
tengusaur (03:46:12): Hetepheres: "That is true. Who knows what information has he leaked to the Balmarians?"
Ishikar3 (03:46:16): Lamia: "We have to assume our plans and secrets are compromised. That could include any unit data as well."
aldo salt (03:46:31): Dido relaxes. "Oh. That? That happens all the time." She adds, running a finger through her poofed up hair. "I'll get you a gel later on!"
tengusaur (03:46:53): Hetepheres: "All data will have to be reinforced and reorganized. Furthermore, prepare for another confrontation in the future. He will be back..."
VJockey (03:47:02): "Great..."
