Mission 077 - The Ebon Court Rises

[srwu_mods]

cubey@aol.pl (02:09:58): Not too long ago, Unity Group received an unusual request from one Representative Caroll from the Office of Special Investigations.
cubey@aol.pl (02:10:22): It is about extraction of an investigator from a region in the Apallachian Mountains.
cubey@aol.pl (02:10:29): That in itself is not unusual.
cubey@aol.pl (02:10:52): But the part where a squad was sent to retrieve him, fell silent - then another squad, this time a much more experienced one, did the same...
cubey@aol.pl (02:10:58): Now that is a different thing altogether!
cubey@aol.pl (02:11:41): Your mission - go out there and rescue whomever you can. The second squad, known as Task Force Javelin, will assist you on the field of operation once you make contact. And possibly later, as well.
cubey@aol.pl (02:12:20): A Unity Group shuttle is already en route. You will arrive at the suspicious small town shortly - and from a distance away, you can already see the fires...
cubey@aol.pl (02:12:42): (Que the new opening)
cubey@aol.pl (02:12:44): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddyd8WxIOUY
tengusaur (02:15:11): Asagi: "Deja vu..."
Peter Kampschroeder (02:15:47): Eva: "...It's too late to just ask for a reaction bomb strike, isn't it."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:16:04): "Tell me about it." Dido hisses.
Ginkan SK (02:16:07): Raquel frowns "This doesn't look good."
tengusaur (02:16:26): Asagi: "This feels a lot like a dream I had some time ago..."
tengusaur (02:16:45): Asagi: "...Let's go. We need to find out what happened."
tengusaur (02:17:13): He has a bad feeling about this and it shows in his voice.
cubey@aol.pl (02:18:17): The shuttle stays a fair distance away from the town, letting you deploy instead.
tengusaur (02:18:55): Blue One jumps out of the shuttle's door and flies towards the village.
cubey@aol.pl (02:18:58): You can notice something in the distance, that looks like a different shuttle, crashed and not just as large as a UG one.
cubey@aol.pl (02:19:03): But before you can reach it though...
cubey@aol.pl (02:19:12): There are dark shapes moving through the streets.
cubey@aol.pl (02:19:15): Dark - and large
Peter Kampschroeder (02:19:19): Eva: "Dreams..." a moment of silence as the Huckbein Omega clears the shuttle, and starts taking up a position behind and to the left of Blue One.
Peter Kampschroeder (02:19:25): "...Contact."
cubey@aol.pl (02:19:52): Roaming the village/town are some kind of monstrous creatures - and seeing you, they immediately start rushing in to attack!
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:18): Enemies: Ash Hunter x2, Polarion Raptor x4
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:19): Polarion Raptor
http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=92808

Ash Hunter
http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=92807
tengusaur (02:20:25): Asagi: "What the heck are those...!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:29): Initiative list: Eva, Raquel, Asagi, Dido
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:31): Eva and Raquel, go
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:20:52): "Looks like Calvin was the boy who cried wolf." Dido mutters. "In that case…let's get Shepherding!"
Peter Kampschroeder (02:22:18): *"Engaging." Eva floats backwards and up, and starts hammering away with the photon rifle in bursts. She'll target the wing things first, aiming for their center of mass.+
cubey@aol.pl (02:24:01): The Raptor's wings suddenly crystallize, feathers becoming a more solid defense - one that starts to shatter under Eva's attacks as the creature uses it as a shield.
cubey@aol.pl (02:24:29): But two others rush Eva's position and jump to reach her despite flight.
cubey@aol.pl (02:25:19): As they move, you can see the surroundings around them flash-freeze into icy, brittle forms. And if you do not act fast, you will be next as their claws slash at you!
cubey@aol.pl (02:25:20): React
cubey@aol.pl (02:25:30): https://www.youtuberepeater.com/watch?v=ebEyXDq7JPM
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:25:33): #Eva?
cubey@aol.pl (02:25:36): Approved.
tengusaur (02:25:36): #
cubey@aol.pl (02:25:42): Just one is enough
tengusaur (02:25:44): (have it then)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:25:57): (Coo.)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:27:47): *Dido whistles. "Man, these things look demonic!" ShelLancer bends its shoulder plates! "Arc Thorns Launching!" Five rocket spikes fly over Eva's head, tips seeking the Raptor's heads!+
Peter Kampschroeder (02:27:52): *Eva jinks further upwards, deploying the huckebein's bayonet and setting it's rifle to sniper mode. One of the raptors will find a much more powerful shot directed its way as she flees. If all else fails, there's still the Huckebein's energy shield.+
Ginkan SK (02:28:39): Raquel now finds they are comming under attack. The Amazon moves into action now already shifting about to meet the incomming attackers. She does try to avoid range firing off a burst of lightning from her mech's fists+
cubey@aol.pl (02:29:12): Do you target the raptors or the hunters?
cubey@aol.pl (02:29:47): The charging Raptors suddenly find that something rains at them. Something that interrupts their advance - and there goes the sniper shot. One of them falls dead.
cubey@aol.pl (02:30:22): Dido, Asagi, go
cubey@aol.pl (02:31:12): By the way, the surroundings are not only frozen by the Raptors. Parts of it, buildings included, are on fire.
cubey@aol.pl (02:31:26): You can probably guess who caused this.
tengusaur (02:31:30): Asagi: "Looks like they can't fly. The wings are for defense instead!" Blue One drops from above towards one of the raptors, slamming into its wings with a kick and the butt of its katana to throw them away from the main body. And then Asagi follows up with a long horizontal slash right to the chest! +
Ginkan SK (02:32:28): (Hunters Sorry)
cubey@aol.pl (02:33:37): The Ash Hunter is wounded by the energy blasts - but it does not remain passive. Its mouth opens widely and it unleashes a blazing inferno, trying to melt down everything in its path - the Amazon in particular!
cubey@aol.pl (02:33:43): React, Raquel.
cubey@aol.pl (02:34:22): Asagi actually manages to slice down the enemy while it reels back from Dido's thorns. It tried to gather cold around its body - but it was too late.
cubey@aol.pl (02:34:48): However, suddenly out of nowhere, Blue One is under fire! A huge bulletstorm is coming your way!
cubey@aol.pl (02:34:57): React, and you can also see the cause.
cubey@aol.pl (02:35:07): From one of the buildings, new enemies appear. These are not beast-like.
cubey@aol.pl (02:35:21): They are humans clad in power armor. Suspiciously German-looking power armor.
cubey@aol.pl (02:35:26): Zer Blitzwaffe
http://s1282.photobucket.com/user/V-Jockey/media/sample_8d65dcb3b226d65410cf4925d332e865cbe9342b_zpsda0cc0cc.jpg.html
cubey@aol.pl (02:35:50): Some of them carry large miniguns, too heavy for a non augmented human to wield, others have more mysterious equipment.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:35:55): *"So one's ice-themed, and the other's flame-themed!" Dido mutters. "Not sure how lightning fits into that…but screw it! Lance Shock…Discharging!" She sweeps her crackling lance in the path of the the remaining Raptors, using the pierced Arc Thorns to guide lightning into their innards!+
cubey@aol.pl (02:36:30): Also, the building which they occupy actually has something crashed into its side.
cubey@aol.pl (02:36:36): It looks like a modified Huckebein.
cubey@aol.pl (02:36:51): A destroyed one, with its cockit block caved in.
tengusaur (02:38:04): Asagi: "Humans? Are they controlling these monsters?" Blue One kneels down for a second, magnifying its defensive shield, before boosting behind a nearby burning building to use it as cover. +
tengusaur (02:38:42): Asagi: "I think I found one member of Task Force Javelin..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:39:03): "Is he alive?" Dido asks.
Ginkan SK (02:39:08): Raquel now finds that the hunter is wounded but it's not done she sees the fire comming and she leaps to the right dropping and rolling hard to try and get out of the way+
tengusaur (02:39:26): Asagi: "...Doubt it."
cubey@aol.pl (02:39:27): The wounded Raptor is dispatched by the electric blast. But the other tanks it with crystallized ice feathers - and then unleashes them all, a barrage of sharp crystal projectiles flying through the air!
cubey@aol.pl (02:39:29): React, Dido.
cubey@aol.pl (02:40:56): Raquel tumbles away from the fire with only light singing of her Huckebein's feet, though the surroundings where she was just a second ago are now lit ablaze.
cubey@aol.pl (02:41:12): The dark area is now better lit, though in an ominous way.
cubey@aol.pl (02:41:57): Asagi manages to tank the shots because his barrier was made to suffer much worse - especially since he immediately leaves the field of vision.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:43:06): *"Whoah, you guys!" Dido smack-talks. "What's with the cold shoulder? Also…Shelling Up!" ShelLancer transforms into it's low-slung turtles move and scoots left to avoid the ice shards!+
cubey@aol.pl (02:44:22): Turtles are not exactly known for their speed. Most of the shards hit their target, and ShelLancer's armor becomes rather brittle where they hit!
tengusaur (02:44:55): Asagi: "Who are you people? Did you attack this village? You're interfering with a Unity Group operation!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:45:11): *[Whoops: low-slung turtle mode]
cubey@aol.pl (02:45:41): There is no response, but the powered armor troopers disappear in the building to regroup.
cubey@aol.pl (02:46:21): As fire lights up the area, you can notice scattered pieces nearby.
cubey@aol.pl (02:46:29): They look both frozen and melted.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:46:38): "Ow!" Dido winces. "Talk about a frosty demeanor…okay, I'm stopping."
cubey@aol.pl (02:46:40): If you put them together, you could possibly make a single mobile suit out of them.
cubey@aol.pl (02:46:50): Individually though they are almost unrecognizable.
cubey@aol.pl (02:47:13): Eva and Asagi, go again
cubey@aol.pl (02:47:26): Err
cubey@aol.pl (02:47:29): Eva and Raquel, rather.
Ginkan SK (02:47:30): Raquel however feels teh heat she looks back. "This is wrong, I don't like and who the heck is that? Who are you? State your purpose!"
Peter Kampschroeder (02:49:55): *Eva: "Not the time, Dido." Eva picks out another raptor or two to open fire on with the sniper mode, circling them from above to try to throw off their blocks.+
Peter Kampschroeder (02:50:31): "...The enemy probably still has another surprise in store."
Ginkan SK (02:50:53): Raquel now is going to go after that Hunter again she has no idea who the other hostiles are but for now she's going to worry about the hunter. She races in trying to get close this time to start beatint the hell out of it up close with her machine's firsts, but she's go the sense to ki charge them first.+
tengusaur (02:51:04): Asagi: "Yeah. They have some strange equipment with them, and I have no idea what it does."
tengusaur (02:51:26): Asagi: "But I'm not going to let them do to me what they did to Javelin."
cubey@aol.pl (02:51:50): As Raquel gets close, the Ash Hunter roars and the temperature around it rapidly increases. It tries to smack into you with burning claws.
cubey@aol.pl (02:51:51): React.
cubey@aol.pl (02:53:00): The Raptor is getting damaged and thrown into defense by Eva's attack - but here come the powered armor troopers again. Suddenly nets fly off from their position - and they are electrified! React.
tengusaur (02:53:12): #
cubey@aol.pl (02:53:18): # approved
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:53:21): As Dido shifts back to Humanoid form, she looks around with her scanners…are there any water towers or rivers in this town?
Ginkan SK (02:53:28): Raquel is going to weave in and out of the thing's struke trying to get up close as she intened but maybe get osmething vital like the head and crush, or snap a limb if she gets it at the right joint point.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:53:33): #Eva?
cubey@aol.pl (02:53:42): Asagi got this
cubey@aol.pl (02:53:53): Also you do not notice and such sources of water visible in immediate vincinity.
tengusaur (02:54:40): Asagi: "Who even are these guys?" Quickly he goes around the corner, aims Blue One's machinegun, and fires a long burst at the incoming nets to shred them! +
cubey@aol.pl (02:54:54): Raquel's getting hot in the full motion cockpit... but you manage to weave away from the much larger enemy's strikes and hit its damaged spots! With a decisive hit and a loud crunch, it suddenly cools down rapidly and falls, dead.
Peter Kampschroeder (02:55:42): *The rifle switches back to burst fire mode, and lays into the nets and (inaccurately) into the troops behind them. The Huckebein's bayonet is still out, ready to slice up anything that gets through.+
cubey@aol.pl (02:56:44): The nets are shredded and, despite their cover, a few of the soldiers fall down dead. Their armor is not meant to endure blasts of this magnitude.
cubey@aol.pl (02:56:52): Asagi and Dido, go
tengusaur (02:56:56): (enemy list?)
cubey@aol.pl (02:57:09): Polarion Raptor x1 (damaged), Ash Hunter x1, Zer Blitzwaffe x5
tengusaur (02:58:54): * After the defense was successful, Asagi takes off into the air, sends Blue One spinning around, and acquires a new target, that is the Ash Hunter. From high above, he bombards the creature with a long barrage, aiming for the head. +
tengusaur (02:59:29): Asagi: "I doubt it can do much against flying targets..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:00:17): *"Tangling with that flame beast would be bad with my frosted armor, so…" ShelLancer engages it's Shell Boost and races to the side of the Raptor. "… it's time for you to Shatter! Discharging Shell Flak!" Coilgun propelled metal spheres shoot out of the front of ShelLancer's armor and bombard the Raptor!+
cubey@aol.pl (03:01:05): The Ash Hunter is getting bombarded, but its head can still look up.
cubey@aol.pl (03:01:28): It makes it an even easier target, but its mouth opens - and it spits out a massive fireball, aimed at Asagi and Blue One. Here it goes!
cubey@aol.pl (03:01:30): React.
cubey@aol.pl (03:03:07): The damaged raptor does not stand any chance. It's being perforated by the ShelLancer and perishes without a chance to counterattack.
tengusaur (03:03:52): Asagi: "...I was mistaken!" With a single quick gesture he draws and slashes the katana, trying to cut through the incoming fireball! +
cubey@aol.pl (03:04:38): You cut into the fireball Asagi - and that was a mistake. It turns dark orange and explodes in your face!
cubey@aol.pl (03:04:50): Still, better than if it hit Blue One itself...
cubey@aol.pl (03:05:02): Eva and Raquel go
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:05:47): "Sick!" Dido pumps her fist. "How you doing with yours Asagi?"
Peter Kampschroeder (03:06:02): *Eva: "...This is too easy..." The Ash Hunter finds itself under attack, a sniper shot aimed right through it's face.+
tengusaur (03:06:26): Asag: "This one is tougher than expected... But it's the last one!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:09:04): ???: "Someone else is fighting out there? Identify yourselves!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:09:06): Hey look.
cubey@aol.pl (03:09:28): A radio transmission from an unknown person - but on a known frequency.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:11:54): "Uh…this is the Unity Group, on a rescue mission!" Dido says. "YOU identify yourself!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:12:29): ???: "Wow, took you a while to get here! Better late than never, you know what they say."
cubey@aol.pl (03:12:42): The Ash Hunter is neutralized by Eva.
VJockey (03:12:42): ???: "Great job. If the Ebon Court was listening in our friendship with whoever came to save us is going to be a really short and tragic one."
cubey@aol.pl (03:12:47): It explodes. Good thing no one was close!
VJockey (03:13:16): ???: "Maybe we could've let them have the element of surprise?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:13:31): ???: "Fionnan Capello, Task Force Javelin's second in command. You keep your head down inspector, we'll get you out of here in one piece yet."
Ginkan SK (03:13:41): Raquel has manage to take one down but she is feeling a bit like a roast in the oven. Okay it's getting worse as she comes about to the remaing hunter she goes after it as well she mixes things up as she now again launches burst of pure energy in the shape of a dragon at the last hunter.
Ginkan SK (03:13:42): +
tengusaur (03:14:07): Asagi: "There's a survivor here? Tell us your location!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:14:09): Dido pinches her nose. "Is that you, Calvin Eldred Edwards?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:14:12): Fionnan: "There's a lot of boogeys out here. Just follow the trail of destruction!"
Peter Kampschroeder (03:14:35): Eva: "What can you tell us about the enemy's forces?"
VJockey (03:14:40): Calvin: "I'm pretty sure that I did a good job for the past three... or was it FOUR DAYS I WAS STRANDED HERE!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:14:52): You get a ping which indeed comes from the crashed shuttle's location.
cubey@aol.pl (03:15:11): Fionnan: "In one word?" Suddenly there's an interruption from his part, explosion and gunfire. "Crazy!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:15:34): Seeing the last Hunter down (with Raquel's help!), the on foot enemies try to withdraw.
VJockey (03:15:37): "They've got Magic! Pretty sure of it!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:15:37): You can pursue them.
cubey@aol.pl (03:15:47): Or you can go assist Task Force Javelin. Or what is left of it.
tengusaur (03:16:07): Asagi: "So you don't know who they are?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:16:17): Fionnan: "Sure, sure. Magic. Anyway... ah shit! Here comes another wave!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:16:31): "What kind of magic?" Dido asks. "Ceremonial? Elemental? Necromancy? Goetia! Daoist? You gotta narrow things down!"
Peter Kampschroeder (03:16:32): Eva moves closer towards Task Force Javelin's position.
VJockey (03:16:57): "They're- oh for the love of... I'll fill you in later!"
tengusaur (03:17:19): Asagi: "Don't worry. We're moving to intercept!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:17:21): There is no further response.
tengusaur (03:18:03): Blue One turns around, rushing in the air towards the direction they were given. The mysterious attackers can get away for now.
cubey@aol.pl (03:19:51): Moving through the town is easy indeed - just follow the trail of destruction and chaos.
cubey@aol.pl (03:20:05): More dead bodies of creatures similar to what you just fought mark the way.
cubey@aol.pl (03:20:42): And in the distance, you see it.
cubey@aol.pl (03:20:46): The shuttle is under siege.
cubey@aol.pl (03:21:13): More Hunters and Raptors attack the few units grouped around it, but also other units - humanoid, and not human sized this time.
cubey@aol.pl (03:22:02): At least... some of them are not human sized.
cubey@aol.pl (03:23:02): A keen eye can spot the same power armor wearers as before, in addition to rather... historical reenaction looking Jenices.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:23:03): Dido follows in tank mode!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:23:13): "Whoah...!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:23:33): There are also others who seem equipped with swords and bows instead.
cubey@aol.pl (03:23:38): Ebon Guard Swordsman

http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120930200513/chaoslegion/images/a/aa/Malice.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (03:24:02): However, Javelin is not defenseless. It's an elite strike force.
cubey@aol.pl (03:24:26): A VF zooms through the air, strafing enemies and dispersing their ranks or taking off stragglers in quick hit and run attacks.
cubey@aol.pl (03:25:20): In addition to that, there is a mass produced Grungust present, similar to the one Albhard has. It stands stoically like a mountain, facing the brunt of enemy assault and fighting back with its mighty punches and a blade.
cubey@aol.pl (03:25:28): And lastly
cubey@aol.pl (03:26:14): Enemies who are out of cover fall down dead almost immediately as a one-TSF dakka dispenser shoots in many directions at once. An A-10 Thunderbolt is there.
cubey@aol.pl (03:26:40): Still, the foes are many, and the defenses can break down any moment. There is only three of them!
tengusaur (03:26:45): Asagi: "...They're Nazis. Nazis with monsters."
Peter Kampschroeder (03:27:05): Eva: "..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:27:39): "Shouldn't they have more swastika imagery, then?" Dido muses.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:27:57): "…or maybe these guys are descended from the Thule society?"
griefgathering (03:28:01): #defenders
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:28:10): #Javelin team?
cubey@aol.pl (03:28:12): Mysterious reinforcement, go!
VJockey (03:28:27): #Javelin team as well
tengusaur (03:28:44): Asagi: "Think about it later!"
griefgathering (03:29:25): ???: "Worm Smasher."
griefgathering (03:30:18): *Enemies, regardless of size, will find themselves besieged by countless golden beams that seem to appear out of nowhere. Whoever fired these is being cautious enough to avoid hitting the Javelin team, the shuttle, and any other allies!+
griefgathering (03:31:00): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3HcfmPAxCY
cubey@aol.pl (03:32:17): And just like that, the fate has reversed - enemies suddenly face the wrath of an intense bombardment. The totally not Nazis are annihilated outright, both the on foot and mobile suits.
cubey@aol.pl (03:32:40): Many of the creatures fall also - but not all, and worringly enough the antique equipped footmen are still going!
cubey@aol.pl (03:32:53): Still, that is something you can use to your advantage!
cubey@aol.pl (03:33:06): Fionnan: "Alright!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:33:12): ???: "Time for a push."
griefgathering (03:33:17): Chika: "How does the UG keep getting into these situations?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:33:22): Dido, ??? - # approved
tengusaur (03:33:32): Asagi: "It's our job."
VJockey (03:33:44): Calvin: "Are you guys crazy?!"
tengusaur (03:33:54): Asagi: "Sometimes I wonder..."
Peter Kampschroeder (03:33:55): Eva: "Probably."
VJockey (03:34:06): ???: "We're all going to die -wheeeeeze-"
Ginkan SK (03:34:46): Raquel calls out "We'll figure out what sort of voodoo they are using later lets focus on this!:" Oh just lovely ther'es more units comming in now she does however not seem to like the trail of carnage. Now they have new foes to worry about. She sees as evne more fire power goes off and a bunch of them get fried. "Wait what the heck?!"
VJockey (03:36:27): *Whatever the circumstances, the most that can be done is support the attack and try to keep the enemy off Javelin. Carefully placed gunfire rings out from the shuttle wreck from what looks to be a Genoace Variant. Poorly timed Beam Spray shots also follow from a pair of regular genoaces with it+
VJockey (03:37:03): ( Genoace OSI Use Type: http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=771152 )
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:37:26): *"Electricity. A phenomenon where electrons and protons flow between positive and negative atoms!" Dido launches a group of Arc Thorns, which soar up, then rain down on the remaining footmen and creatures! "The flow of energy continues until atomic charges are neutral!" She raises her lance. "And it really, really hurts! Lance Shock…Discharging! Lightning leaps to the Arc Thorns and sizzles everything near!+
cubey@aol.pl (03:38:24): Seeing the Genoace trio engage, your enemies do a sensible thing - and try to focus fire on them!
cubey@aol.pl (03:38:28): ???: "No."
cubey@aol.pl (03:38:59): But the Grungust stands in front of them, crossing its arms in a block, and withstands the assault for long enough for the others to finish the attackers off!
cubey@aol.pl (03:39:30): Fionnan: "That's the last of them, I think!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:39:40): The VF continues circling around the vincinity.
cubey@aol.pl (03:39:48): "Where's Garrett? Or the hotshot kid?"
VJockey (03:39:58): "Don't Jinx it don't jinx it..."
tengusaur (03:40:05): Asagi: "...They didn't make it. Sorry."
tengusaur (03:40:24): Asagi: "There were two destroyed mecha. Huckebein and a MS."
VJockey (03:40:30): "...Damnit... damnit! I tried to warn them!"
VJockey (03:40:39): "Why the hell doesn't anyone ever listen!"
Peter Kampschroeder (03:40:50): Eva: "Be quiet."
cubey@aol.pl (03:41:01): Heavy silence falls on the members of Task Force Javelin.
cubey@aol.pl (03:41:25): Fionnan: "Damn... but at least others are still good. Looks like we have no choice but"
cubey@aol.pl (03:41:32): Something flies through the sky.
cubey@aol.pl (03:41:40): A thrown spear penetrates his VF mid-air.
cubey@aol.pl (03:41:41): It explodes!
VJockey (03:41:48): "....................."
tengusaur (03:41:49): Asagi: "!!"
griefgathering (03:42:06): Chika: "What the...?"
griefgathering (03:42:09): Shu: "..."
VJockey (03:42:16): "This... would be really bad."
Peter Kampschroeder (03:42:27): Eva: "Tch."
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:34): With the ruins around you trembling and shuffling aside, suddenly something very large rises from under the ground.
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:37): http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=363048
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:39): (The yellow one)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:43:30): "Damn!" Dido curses. "Calvin, who is this guy?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:43:38): ???: "My apologies. I am afraid this is the end for you."
cubey@aol.pl (03:43:51): For a big hulking thing, it's surprisingly soft spoken.
tengusaur (03:43:57): Asagi: "You! You're willing to talk! Who are you?"
VJockey (03:43:59): "...Remember what I said about magic?"
VJockey (03:44:14): [His genoace makes motions to the big yellow thing.]
Peter Kampschroeder (03:44:58): Eva: "...Shut up. Can you make it out of here on your own?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:45:00): There is no response from remaining Javelin team members. The Grungust wordlessly moves toward the giant, a doomblade appearing in its hand to slash the interloper!
VJockey (03:45:31): "Considering that there's a whole bunch of monsters waiting to chase me down?"
VJockey (03:45:34): "Not the best idea..."
cubey@aol.pl (03:45:56): ???: "... Nothing personal."
cubey@aol.pl (03:47:03): The yellow creature says just as the doomblade strikes at it. However - he raises an arm, and suddenly a numerous barrage of shining energy projectiles is generated.
cubey@aol.pl (03:47:23): They start striking at the Grungust and its weapon, wrecking its arm first - and then going for the already damaged unit itself!
tengusaur (03:47:37): Asagi: "...Shit!"
tengusaur (03:47:38): #?
cubey@aol.pl (03:47:41): Approved.
Ginkan SK (03:47:59): # Grungrust
cubey@aol.pl (03:48:08): Also approved.
tengusaur (03:48:34): * Blue One rushes forward, swinging its katana around as it tries to intercept some of the projectiles with its force field and blade. The last strike is aimed at the arm itself - lower that thing! +
Ginkan SK (03:49:32): Raquel was about to greet Shu and Chika but then something happens. A new hostile is in they they just lost someone, she's not happy and she looks at the yellow thing. She watches the Grungust go in and then bad things happen. She sees it getting savaged and she's now moving in. She moves swiftly at the new hostile and attempts disrupt the barrage with physical assault.+
cubey@aol.pl (03:50:27): As the two of you advance...
cubey@aol.pl (03:50:37): ???2: "Do not interfere!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:51:02): Suddenly, a smaller unit leaps up - wielding a spear, it swings it in a wide arc.
cubey@aol.pl (03:51:19): Both Asagi and Raquel are suddenly in danger of getting hit with a powerful swipe, that throws them off balance!
cubey@aol.pl (03:51:29): (This is the purple one to complete the set)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:51:33): # the #-ers?
VJockey (03:51:45): #^?
cubey@aol.pl (03:51:58): # on #ers approve
cubey@aol.pl (03:52:05): Though each one of you should probably pick a person to #
VJockey (03:52:28): (Asagi)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:53:52): *Dido moves left to support Raquel, charging in with a Shell-Boost and and stabbing at the purple one with her electrified lance! "No, you don't interfere!"+
VJockey (03:54:13): *Getting the sensor information late on things meant that Calvin didn't have that much of a window... so he does his best to take a headshot at the purple one to knock its balance off. Once more lagging behind a pair of beam spray shots fly after the bullet.+
cubey@aol.pl (03:55:10): The new arrival twists and turns mid air like an acrobat, still swinging the spear while changing angles to evade the attacks.
cubey@aol.pl (03:55:32): However it means the spear's swipe only causes a shockwave that throws the two of you back, rather than connecting physically.
cubey@aol.pl (03:55:51): Unfortunately, the Grungust is battered by the unending magical barrage and falls into a building.
cubey@aol.pl (03:56:04): The yellow giant stops his attack only once making sure the super robot is totally wrecked.
cubey@aol.pl (03:56:17): And the purple slightly smaller giant lands near it.
cubey@aol.pl (03:56:30): ???2: "You aren't that tough, are you?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:56:39): An arrogant female voice.
cubey@aol.pl (03:56:50): Also
cubey@aol.pl (03:57:23): Despite the assault they experienced just mere minutes ago, some of the on foot enemies manage to dig themselves up from under the nearby ruins!
cubey@aol.pl (03:58:06): Enemies: Mystic Amber, Amethyst Determination, Ebon Guard Swordsmen x6, Ebon Guard Marksmen x4 (all battered)
cubey@aol.pl (03:58:51): Amethyst: "Let's do it, then. There's no need to hurry so I will take my time. Give me your best!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:59:12): Amber: "Regrettably, we are not in a rush..."
cubey@aol.pl (03:59:28): Calvin, Shu, Eva, go
tengusaur (03:59:33): Asagi: "Damnit..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:00:40): "Oh you did not just say that!" Dio snarls at Amethyst. "Girl, you sound just like President Gladiator from the 'Martial Might' series!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:01:59): Amethyst: "Talk, talk, talk. Is that all you can do?"
tengusaur (04:02:20): Asagi: "You're going to find out what we can do right now...!"
griefgathering (04:02:38): *Without warning, the Granzon raises its hand, shrouded in dark energy, and fires a wave of distorted gravity that surges towards the two boss units.+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:02:49): "We're gonna lay a wick combo on your rear!" Dido snarls.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:02:52): *wicked
cubey@aol.pl (04:03:07): Amethyst: "Here it comes!"
Peter Kampschroeder (04:03:23): *Eva: "Get going. I'll cover the retreat." Eva opens with the huckebein's Omega cannon, aimed to hit the enemy mooks and bosses both.+
cubey@aol.pl (04:03:25): Amber: "Of course, of course. I can see it."
Peter Kampschroeder (04:04:07): (Priority goes to mooks then slow boss then fast boss in case of a conflict)
cubey@aol.pl (04:04:21): The two jump in two opposite sides, making it hard to focus fire on both! Also, Amber's hand reaches out in the gravity shot's direction.
cubey@aol.pl (04:04:59): He shoots out his own barrage of grayish energy. The shots visibly slow down Granzon's discharge as they bombard against the dark blast - and threaten the unit itself, too.
cubey@aol.pl (04:05:01): React, Shu.
cubey@aol.pl (04:05:34): Two of the Swordsmen leap at the Huckebein - and the blast annihilates them.
VJockey (04:05:36): *Calvin's hands are shaking a little. So... this is how it ends then. Dying just when he has some proof in the middle of nowhere... and he lost his hat several days ago too. Still... "Luther... Ozzie. Wait for my go. Mica, use those scanners of yours, see if any big buildings close by look like they'll fall apart.." The Genoace leaps out of the shuttle "Guess if all else fails go with the ultimate plan... RUN AWAY!" Calvin makes a dash.&
cubey@aol.pl (04:05:54): However the Marksmen use this opportunity to fire their shots at Eva. They are human-sized, but they shoot with speed and deadly accuracy. React!
griefgathering (04:05:58): Shu: "Interesting. However..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:06:58): ??? (A-10 pilot, also female apparently): "... I will cover your retreat."
cubey@aol.pl (04:07:12): More enemies try to climb from the wrecks, but they are cut down by the TSF's fire.
cubey@aol.pl (04:07:14): However!
Peter Kampschroeder (04:07:41): *Eva twists and turns the Huckebein, relying on the TK field for any shots that get through her dodging.+
cubey@aol.pl (04:07:43): "Well, aren't you a coward!" Amethyst leaps up into the air. With the moon behind her, she spins her spear - and lunges down at Calvin, thrusting it as she descends!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:07:50): #Calvin?
cubey@aol.pl (04:07:55): Do note that she is still larger than a MS!
cubey@aol.pl (04:07:57): Approved.
cubey@aol.pl (04:07:59): Also react Calvin.
VJockey (04:08:12): "NOW!"
griefgathering (04:08:41): *The Granzon's chest section suddenly glows, and the gravity blast deforms into something that appears more solid - like a black wall. "Gravitron Cannon - fire." This wall begins to expand, covered by smaller black spherical explosions in retaliation to the Amber's strike!+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:10:11): *"Yo, Lady!" Dido shouts. "Catch!" Dido fires several Arc Thorn at Amethyst's back!+
VJockey (04:10:53): *Sadly the beam spray shots Calvin were waiting for didn't come until a good while after he yelled. So in that regard... he quickly throws his Genoace aside, abandoning his rifle for a ms sized revolver and quickly firing shot after shot at Amethyst when he lands. It was about then the shots finally came. No telling if the empty wreck of a building falls on Amethyst though.+
Ginkan SK (04:11:41): Things just go to hell in a hanbasket they kjeeo their ally she thinks from dying but it's not certain she's also got off lucky all things concidered. She does not give the enemy any responses however as she attemps to steady her self after that.
cubey@aol.pl (04:12:54): That full degree spin was enough to deflect Dido's Thorns. At least they served as a distraction... and Calvin adds by firing shots of his own. Though little do they do!
cubey@aol.pl (04:13:00): However...
cubey@aol.pl (04:13:07): Amber: "Interesting..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:13:23): His blasts are overwhelmed by the Graviton Cannon - which hits the yellow giant head on!
cubey@aol.pl (04:13:39): Amethyst: "Graeme!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:14:03): She is distracted to the point of the spear only stabbing Calvin's unit through the shoulder, making his right arm hard to use.
cubey@aol.pl (04:14:31): Still, better than a strike to the cockpit, especially since she quickly withdraws the weapon and leaps back to Mystic Amber... or Graeme as the case may be.
cubey@aol.pl (04:14:47): Amber: "... I am alright. Still fine, as you can see."
cubey@aol.pl (04:15:06): With shaky footing, the foe sways a bit from side to side, but still stands.
cubey@aol.pl (04:15:52): Amethyst: "Oh, you're going to pay for this, I assure you!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:16:04): The spear's tip points at the Granzon now.
cubey@aol.pl (04:16:33): At the same time, Eva manages to get out of harm's way. One projectile avoided, so is another, the third is a graze easily deflected by the TK Field...
cubey@aol.pl (04:17:03): But the fourth actually penetrates through it, and stabs Huckebein Omega in the lower torso! Away from anything important, but still!
cubey@aol.pl (04:17:09): Raquel, Dido, Asagi, go.
tengusaur (04:17:12): Asagi: "Not for long." Blue One unfolds and draws the heavy beam cannon from its back, aims at the Mystic Amber while charging, and fires a large beam at the most damaged part of the large mech. Then Asagi drops down to the ground and follows up with another beam shot! +
Peter Kampschroeder (04:17:44): Eva: "They've got a lot of power in those shots..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:19:13): ???: "I am low on ammo." The TSF (okay TSA technically) stops firing since there are no good targets to suppress. "Without the ability to resupply, at this rate I won't be of any help to you..."
griefgathering (04:19:43): Shu: (to Amethyst) "Your friend did underestimate me. Still, well done on withstanding that attack."
griefgathering (04:20:25): That said, Shu himself is still focused on these enemies. Just what else are they capable of?
cubey@aol.pl (04:20:32): Amber: "You may consider this a measuring of your capabilities. Don't worry, it won't repeat itself - we cannot afford to fall here, after all."
VJockey (04:20:44): "They used those to take the shuttle down."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:21:10): *"So lemmie guess…you're one of those people obsessed with the glory of combat and worthy foes, right?" Dido asks. She inputs some commands and launches a volley of Arc Thorns that rocket towards Amethyst! But instead moving to strike her, they curve off at the last minute, flying around her in a swarm! "Lance Shock…Discharging!" Lightning leaps out, and Dido tries to cocoon Amethyst in a tornado of lightning!+
Peter Kampschroeder (04:21:24): Eva: "Please retreat, then. We have an extraction waiting."
VJockey (04:22:00): "That didn't go so well the first time you know."
cubey@aol.pl (04:22:10): As Asagi fires the first blast... Amber suddenly moves with a burst of speed and avoids it! As you charge the second - he's right there with you, fists raised for a pummeling!
cubey@aol.pl (04:22:17): Amber: "I'm really sorry for this."
cubey@aol.pl (04:22:18): React.
cubey@aol.pl (04:23:35): Amethyst: "Aren't you a smartass! Do you ever shut up? Honestly!"
tengusaur (04:23:44): Asagi: "...Fast!" He drops the cannon and jumps back, using Blue One's speed to avoid the incoming fist! The beam gun is still charging, however, and it fires blindly on its own! At least it's roughly turned into the enemy's direction... +
cubey@aol.pl (04:24:15): The enemy starts spinning her spear with both hands. Held above head, it creates a tornado of its own - the thorns manage to deal only minor electric shocks to her before they are blown away - back towards ShelLancer!
cubey@aol.pl (04:24:16): React!
cubey@aol.pl (04:25:57): "Ah, ah, ah..." There is some consternation in Amber's voice as his side is grazed by Asagi's beam. You avoid his fists, however they hit the ground where you used to stand instead, throwing Blue One off balance!
cubey@aol.pl (04:26:46): A-10 pilot: "Not yet. After what I experienced today, I cannot stand down."
cubey@aol.pl (04:27:03): Her voice sounds calm and composed.
Ginkan SK (04:27:19): (Enemy check sorry x.x)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:27:32): *"Whoah!" Besides dodging left, Dido sends an abort signal to the Arc Thorns, causing their rockets to shut down and their guidances fins to flap around madly, pushing them off course!+
cubey@aol.pl (04:27:39): Enemies: Mystic Amber (damaged), Amethyst Determination (slightly damaged), Ebon Guard Swordsmen x4, Ebon Guard Marksmen x4 (all battered)
cubey@aol.pl (04:28:06): Arc Thorns fly off in various random directions but cause no damage to anyone, at least.
cubey@aol.pl (04:28:44): Calvin and Shu can move (Raquel also)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:32:23): "Have some heart, girl!" Dido replies. "I talk smack just to keep the stress of combat from getting to me! Also, your color scheme is gaudy!"
Ginkan SK (04:32:26): Raquel is keeping an eye on the new hostiles she would go after the Ebon Guard but the big guys have got their attention. She focuse on Amber and stands her ground she makes several hand gestures then slams her fists in the ground trying to cause a pillar of ki formed fire under him for a moment. "BURNING DRAGON!"
Peter Kampschroeder (04:32:36): Eva: "Do shut up."
VJockey (04:32:57): *He has no explosives, he had something of a blanket ban put on him from OSI due to the incident in Romania.... he does however have smokes and flares loaded into his rocket launcher. So he the latter into Amethyst's face to catch her off guard!+
VJockey (04:33:33): *fires the latter
cubey@aol.pl (04:34:31): Amethyst: "Gaudy?! Would you prefer I change it to bloody red, using your own ichor for paint?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:34:54): She almost off-handedly blocks the flare shots via spear spinning.
cubey@aol.pl (04:35:11): However, while she uses the polearm that way, she is distracted and open to flank attacks.
griefgathering (04:35:34): *Shu targets the Amethyst as well, firing a Gran beam that lances out and is then swung in an arc before it dissipates. A straight beam would probably be a bad idea.+
VJockey (04:36:15): "You guys saw that right?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:36:48): Amber: "Gah! You have all kinds of elemental affinities, don't you?"
tengusaur (04:36:52): Asagi: "Of course."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:36:57): @Calvin?
cubey@aol.pl (04:37:33): The first of the dragon pillars burns him. But he quickly creates an avalanche of projectiles - literally, since they are icy ones. He uses them to cool the fire attacks down, and launches the rest in Amazon's direction.
cubey@aol.pl (04:37:35): Raquel, react!
cubey@aol.pl (04:37:49): (Rejected, just take your own action Dido)
cubey@aol.pl (04:38:25): Amethyst: "Hmm?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:38:45): She notices the beam - but not until it's too late! She leaps away from the Gran Beam's path, but it still hits her, just not directly.
cubey@aol.pl (04:39:01): Eva, Dido, Asagi, go!
griefgathering (04:39:17): Chika: "That thing can really move."
cubey@aol.pl (04:39:21): Amethyst lands in the center of the battlefield half-crouched.
cubey@aol.pl (04:39:43): "It looks like I won't be able to hold back any longer!"
griefgathering (04:39:53): Shu: "Chika. It would be most helpful if you could keep your attention on the radar."
cubey@aol.pl (04:39:59): Amber: "Lucine, do you mean to use...?"
VJockey (04:40:15): "Use... use what?"
tengusaur (04:40:56): Asagi: "Running low on ranged weaponry. I'll create an opening!" He rushes towards Amethyst, drawing Blue One's spear mid-flight and ending the charge by spinning his whole AHSMB, slashing widely at the enemy - and then following up quickly with a direct stab! +
Peter Kampschroeder (04:41:32): *Eva doesn't wait to find out what that is. Instead, she shifts the rifle back to burst fire mode, and starts peppering the Amethyst enemy with shots-some meant to hit, some meant to herd it towards Asagi's can of sword.+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:42:08): *"So, your name's Lucine?" Dido fires three Arc Thorns, this time aiming low to try and pierce her legs!+
cubey@aol.pl (04:43:06): Lucine: "I'd be a poor warrior if I were to be defeated here... not after all we've been through!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:43:48): Instead of standing and trying to block it, she engages Blue One. Charging at the AHSMB, she prepares the spear - draws it back, and there comes a powerful stab!
cubey@aol.pl (04:43:51): React, Asagi!
cubey@aol.pl (04:43:57): (Others' actions resolved after this)
tengusaur (04:45:01): Asagi: "Just as planned...!" He swings his own spear to clash against the opponent's blade - and cause both mecha to be temporarily immobile as they struggle to overpower each other! +
cubey@aol.pl (04:45:34): Asagi, you find that your opponent is both mightier and much more experienced. It doesn't take long for her to overpower you!
cubey@aol.pl (04:45:45): However, this also means she is totally open to Dido and Eva!
cubey@aol.pl (04:46:04): Amethyst/Lucine: "N... no! I cannot... I will not!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:46:23): She drops the spear, her own unit following suit and crashing into the ground.
cubey@aol.pl (04:46:46): Amber/Graeme: "Not good... this is definitely not good. We cannot waste any more time here!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:47:16): ???: "There is no need for that anymore."
tengusaur (04:47:43): Asagi: "We're getting the upper... hand?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:48:20): From one of the nearby half-ruined buildings, a group of several people emerges.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:48:27): Dido: "Oh fudge-skittles."
cubey@aol.pl (04:48:32): Their leader, a person who just spoke, is a girl.
cubey@aol.pl (04:48:37): http://s1282.photobucket.com/user/V-Jockey/media/Character%20Icons/Lagardia_zps3151af91.jpg.html
cubey@aol.pl (04:48:55): ???: "It's time to withdraw, you two. The stone we searched for is not here."
cubey@aol.pl (04:49:14): Lucine: "So it was all... for nothing?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:49:20): Graeme: "Regrettable..."
VJockey (04:49:37): [Calvin takes a sharp breath, shuffling in his cockpit a little as his hand carefully adjusts a satchel.]
griefgathering (04:49:48): Shu: "Stone...?"
VJockey (04:49:55): "Later."
cubey@aol.pl (04:50:13): ???: "Do you really think I am going to tell you anything? Pray we do not meet again. For your own sake."
cubey@aol.pl (04:50:32): A-10 pilot: "No. We won't meet again."
Ginkan SK (04:50:46): Raquel however is not doing so well and she's trying to get back form the barrage of ice she does open fire with her head vulcans trying to intercept what she can+
cubey@aol.pl (04:51:09): Suddenly the TSF (okay, TSA) charges forward, all guns blazing. It fires what little ammo it had at the on-foot crowd, enough bullets to turn a large squadron of soldiers into bloody mist!
griefgathering (04:51:53): Chika: "Oy! That's reckless...!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:52:29): Graeme: "No!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:52:30): Dido: "Wait! We don't know their abilities…!"
Peter Kampschroeder (04:52:43): Eva: "That's not..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:52:54): It's possible that these are more supernatural weirdoes. Or maybe normal people who were seconds away from bloody death.
cubey@aol.pl (04:53:17): But either way, the Mystic Amber leaps in front of the concentrated dakka.
cubey@aol.pl (04:53:29): The barrage throws Graeme on his knees, but he does not fall.
cubey@aol.pl (04:55:47): ???: "... We're out of here." With this cold statement, suddenly the whole group - the large opponents, their on foot minions, and the newcomers, disappear in a wisp of magic.
cubey@aol.pl (04:55:52): You are left alone.
cubey@aol.pl (04:55:59): Alone in a ravaged town.
cubey@aol.pl (04:56:25): The A-10 pilot sighs painfully as her guns all cool down, no more bullets nor targets.
tengusaur (04:56:36): Asagi: "...Nothing left on the radar."
Peter Kampschroeder (04:56:44): Eva: "...Another teleporting enemy.."
griefgathering (04:56:54): Chika: "Nothing here, either!"
griefgathering (04:57:12): Shu: "Hm."
cubey@aol.pl (04:58:02): However!
cubey@aol.pl (04:58:10): This is not the end of surprises.
cubey@aol.pl (04:58:35): Upon return towards the extraction point, suddenly there is a transmission for you.
cubey@aol.pl (04:59:21): http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a526/V-Jockey/Character%20Icons/Holstein_zps825f54b4.jpg
VJockey (04:59:30): "..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:59:31): An older gentleman suddenly has something to say.
cubey@aol.pl (04:59:57): Director Holstein: "Congratulations on a job well done, mr Eklund! News travel fast and I already heard them."
cubey@aol.pl (05:00:18): "It looks like your Task Force Javelin has another victory to be proud for."
VJockey (05:00:33): "...Director. Hate to burst your bubble but... Eklund's dead."
cubey@aol.pl (05:01:03): Holstein: "Edwards? I'm surprised you're still alive... what?! How could it be?"
VJockey (05:01:09): "Capello, Antal and Donati as well."
VJockey (05:01:43): "Maybe if you didn't drag your feet so much they'd still be alive you old fart."
cubey@aol.pl (05:01:58): Director Holstein: "Almost the whole Task Force... is this a joke? Everyone is dead but you from all people survive?!"
Peter Kampschroeder (05:02:00): Eva: "...not the time..."
VJockey (05:02:11): "Not just me."
VJockey (05:02:19): "The Thirteenth made it out okay too."
cubey@aol.pl (05:02:43): Holstein: "Oh, color me so relieved about it."
cubey@aol.pl (05:02:48): "Truly, when it rains, it pours."
cubey@aol.pl (05:03:10): Holstein: "What a show of incompetence! I.... I'm speechless!"
VJockey (05:03:22): "Then why are you still even talking..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:03:36): Holstein: "You have failed the OSI, Unity Group! You can keep this here 'inspector'. Incompetents should stick together!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:03:41): And with that he disconnects.
tengusaur (05:03:52): Asagi: "..."
Peter Kampschroeder (05:03:52): Eva: "..."
VJockey (05:04:06): "...aaand he cuts us off before I can give him the fact we have info."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:04:09): "So Edwards and the 13th are incompetent…for surviving?" Dido blurts out. "Ridiculous…oh, he hung up."
cubey@aol.pl (05:04:17): A second later, Representative Caroll reconnects.
griefgathering (05:04:22): Chika: "Wow...that guy really said that. I thought I was hearing things."
cubey@aol.pl (05:04:37): "Please accept my sincerest apologies, in the name of OSI and the Director."
cubey@aol.pl (05:05:03): "He is just shocked by the sudden loss of our most elite task force. He did not mean to accuse Unity Group of incompetence."
VJockey (05:05:09): "Caroll."
griefgathering (05:05:34): Shu: "He could certainly use a lesson in manners."
tengusaur (05:05:38): Asagi: "I... can kinda see why he's angry. A lot of people died..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:06:02): Caroll: "It is exactly the reason. What happened here today is a tragedy. Anyone would be upset."
Peter Kampschroeder (05:06:29): Eva: "Still..."
tengusaur (05:07:13): Asagi: "Who were those people who attacked us? Are they really Nazis?"
Ginkan SK (05:07:38): Raquel frowns at how things played out. They have another thing to worry about and it worries her thatn Chika and Shu can't track it. That speaks of the danger level of these new does. They also lot a lot of people, both civilians and otherwise.
VJockey (05:08:04): "...I'll tell you guys once we're out of here..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:08:21): Caroll: "I would like to ask you to assist OSI with this matter just a little bit longer."
cubey@aol.pl (05:08:44): "As you can see, we are dealing with very dangerous people. They are possibly a threat to the Earth Sphere on a large scale."
cubey@aol.pl (05:08:58): "Fighting this kind of threats is why Unity Group was formed, wasn't it?"
cubey@aol.pl (05:09:02): And with this question.
cubey@aol.pl (05:09:04): MISSION COMPLETE
VJockey (05:09:07): "Caroll. Deaths of Eklund''s team aside I managed to-"
VJockey (05:09:29): "... And she cuts me off."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:09:40): Dido: "…Ouch."
