Mission 091 - Oriental Sentinels

[srwu_mods]

cubey@aol.pl (15:09:57): Master Albert's facility was discovered in South America.
cubey@aol.pl (15:10:15): Despite the tragedies that struck Unity Group, it must go on.
cubey@aol.pl (15:11:00): Albert must be up to no good in his base - and it is our mission to stop him.
cubey@aol.pl (15:11:17): A task force has been sent to the Amazonian jungle - this means, you!
cubey@aol.pl (15:11:23): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddyd8WxIOUY
cubey@aol.pl (15:13:48): at the moment you are moving through the jungle. It is too thick for the shutle to land anywhere, not to mention there are probably anti air turrets around here somewhere.
cubey@aol.pl (15:13:57): So it's on foot from now on. The facility is not too far away.
cubey@aol.pl (15:14:36): The vegetation is thick and the area is not easy to navigate - with hills, even some cliff faces, and bodies of water.
drascin (15:14:39): Ashe is on the lead, with the data the two remaining Sages gave her
tengusaur (15:14:48): Big O is making its way through the jungle, trying not to knock over too many trees.
drascin (15:14:53): Ashe: "Shouldn't b too far away now..."
Peter Kampschroeder (15:14:59): Jen is really glad she's in a tiny unit for once!
tengusaur (15:15:06): Roger: "At least we're not dropping from space, like last time."
Peter Kampschroeder (15:15:21): Jen: "Uh...I'll take your word for it..."
Wyverncakes (15:15:35): The Grungust is following behind Big O, trying to also keep the damage from its movement to a minimum.
drascin (15:15:53): Ashe: That was actually pretty fun.
tengusaur (15:15:56): Roger: "It was actually quite a thrilling experience. But not one I'd like to repeat soon."
Peter Kampschroeder (15:16:21): Jen: "Uh...huh..."
drascin (15:16:21): Ashe: Though, you know, in hindsight it's lucky Aeolus wasn't having his islands fly over anywhere where there was people...
Wyverncakes (15:16:22): The Soleares however is only being spotted occasionally, the Prism Phantom letting it wink out and then reappear somewhere else in the formation.
cubey@aol.pl (15:16:33): As Roger tries to fall another tree (can't be helped), you suddenly notice something weird.
Wyverncakes (15:16:37): Albhard: "See anything yet, Selena?"
cubey@aol.pl (15:16:41): The tree is not a normal tree. It's metal!
cubey@aol.pl (15:16:54): And with a chittering sound, something appears from its canopy.
Wyverncakes (15:17:00): Selena "Nothing yet, though-"
cubey@aol.pl (15:17:08): A giant mechanized spider. It does not look friendly... at all.
tengusaur (15:17:08): Roger: "Robotic plants? We must be close."
tengusaur (15:17:20): Roger: "And more than just plants!"
cubey@aol.pl (15:17:32): Also, on the cliff above you, and all around you, turret-like robots suddenly spring from the ground!
cubey@aol.pl (15:17:44): It looks like a trap.
drascin (15:17:51): Ashe: "And there it goes!"
cubey@aol.pl (15:18:05): Enemies; Barriode x15, Spidrill
cubey@aol.pl (15:18:06): Barriode
http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/c/c0/ZXABarriode.png/revision/latest?cb=20101006182608

Spidrill
http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/9/96/ZXASpidrill.png/revision/latest?cb=20101002233735
Peter Kampschroeder (15:18:07): Jen: "Eh? Eh? Eeeeeeh??"
drascin (15:18:13): Ashe: At least now we know for sure there's something here!
cubey@aol.pl (15:18:18): Initiative: Ashe, Jen, Roger, Selena (and Albhard)
cubey@aol.pl (15:18:20): Ashe, Jen, go!
Wyverncakes (15:18:28): Selena: "-Maldicion!"
cubey@aol.pl (15:19:09): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rx1IYo26EEQ
drascin (15:19:26): Ashe: "seems very little resistance, though..."
Peter Kampschroeder (15:20:02): *Jen's got her rail pistol with her, and wastes no time blasting away at the giant robot spider's center of mass. "This is a little?!"+
tengusaur (15:20:03): Roger: "I'm not the only one who noticed, then. Usually their numbers are larger. They probably didn't expect us to come yet."
drascin (15:20:45): *Still, hey, better not look at a gift horse in the mouth! Ashe locks on carefully to the nearby turrens, letting a blast of chain lightning go when they open up to fire!+
cubey@aol.pl (15:21:04): Spidrill is hit by the pistol, and quickly retreats higher into the canopy, while showering down something small in large numbers.
cubey@aol.pl (15:21:26): Tiny mechanical spiders! They make a run at Cathlenn, trying to attach themselves to it and then - do what, who knows!
cubey@aol.pl (15:21:28): React, Jen.
tengusaur (15:21:34): #
cubey@aol.pl (15:21:36): Approved.
tengusaur (15:22:35): Roger: "That's just nasty." Big O raises its arms in a horizontally-aligned pose and fires eye lasers towards the swarm of tiny spiders, trying to catch as many of them in the beams as possible. +
cubey@aol.pl (15:23:21): Two Barriodes are caught in an electric stream and explode - two others behind them are hit in the middle armored section for relatively little damage!
Peter Kampschroeder (15:23:31): *Jen: "...No thanks." Cethlenn fires a grappling hook off into the canopy and zips itself up off the ground.+
cubey@aol.pl (15:23:38): These, and some others, counter by opening up and unleashing a barrage of quick moving energy balls. React, Ashe!
cubey@aol.pl (15:24:14): The spiders are caught with eye beams and explode. It's not only Big O's power - they are explosive spiders!
cubey@aol.pl (15:24:51): Jen gets out of the way of unexploded ones (they quickly skitter off somewhere), however - as soon as she's in the tree tops, vines that are close to her make a grab at her while sparking with electricity!
cubey@aol.pl (15:24:56): Oh, they are also mechanical. React again.
cubey@aol.pl (15:25:24): Roger, Selena can go.
drascin (15:26:02): *Ashe backflips once, two, three times, leading the shots as she retreats, turning into Aeolus with the last flip and using a jet burst to jump aside+
Wyverncakes (15:26:14): Albhard: "So tiny, crawling, bombs. Keep that in mind, Selena!"
tengusaur (15:26:57): Roger: "I take that back. The whole jungle is against us!" Big O approaches the spider and reaches into the canopy where it's hiding, trying to grab one of its legs to keep it from getting away, and then punch several times with the other fist, letting go together with the last straight punch. +
Peter Kampschroeder (15:27:18): *Jen: "What the-!?" Jen fails to do anything immediately. This is definitely unexpected!+
Wyverncakes (15:27:38): * The Grungust's own eyes shimmer for a moment before beams shoot out at one of the Spidrill's legs, Selena drawing the Blade Railgun and adding her own shots to the assault!+
drascin (15:27:51): Ashe: "Okay, what the heck is going on?!"
cubey@aol.pl (15:28:06): Ashe gets out of the energy balls' way. Beware of trees, you can see some of these vines moving!
Wyverncakes (15:28:06): Elma: "But... if it were all against us, why wait so long to attack then?"
drascin (15:28:11): yeah, Ashe is used to killer robots, but killed plants are new
cubey@aol.pl (15:28:34): However, Jen's unit is electrified! The vines are mostly human sized so the damage is relatively light, but watch out!
cubey@aol.pl (15:29:14): Big O grabs for the spider - and Roger finds that its legs are drills! As you pull it closer for a pummeling, two of its drill legs meet with Big O's fist to try to drill through it!
cubey@aol.pl (15:29:15): React!
Peter Kampschroeder (15:30:19): Jen: "Gah! Hey, that hurts, you jerks!"
tengusaur (15:30:19): * Okay, screw that noise. As soon as Roger grabs the spider robot, he smashes it into the ground, releasing his grip! +
tengusaur (15:31:05): Roger: "The trees are disguised defense systems. At least some of them."
cubey@aol.pl (15:31:50): The spider is pummeled to the ground, and cut into by Grungust's beams.
cubey@aol.pl (15:32:07): However, the tiny Exspiders return from the foliage, trying to make a mad suicide dash at Selena and Albhard!
cubey@aol.pl (15:32:08): React!
Wyverncakes (15:32:39): Selena: "Elma, try to see if you can tell any difference between the real trees and the fakes. Anything to let us know what's safe and what isn't."
Wyverncakes (15:32:49): Elma: "Roger!"
cubey@aol.pl (15:33:56): While you are fighting, two figures appear on the top of the cliff.
cubey@aol.pl (15:34:03): They jump down and land on the trees effortlessly!
cubey@aol.pl (15:34:44): ???: "I am Argoyle, the guardian of this place, left behind by Master Albert!"
cubey@aol.pl (15:34:53): The other stranger only grunts.
Wyverncakes (15:35:08): * In the meantime though, energy begins building up in the Grungust's chest as the Soleares's gattling guns start to rev up. It only takes a moment before both fire, Maxiblaster energy sweeping through the swarm, bullets joining in after a moment!+
cubey@aol.pl (15:35:10): Argoyle: "And this is Ugoyle, the other half of my being."
cubey@aol.pl (15:35:22): Argoyle and Ugoyle, the Shisaroids: http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/e/ed/ZXAShisaroids.png/revision/latest?cb=20070510071819
cubey@aol.pl (15:36:20): Argoyle: "You seem ill equipped to deal with the dangers of the Waterfall Ruins. However, it does not mean we will let you go!"
cubey@aol.pl (15:36:42): Argoyle: "I will send you on your trip - to the Netherworld!"
cubey@aol.pl (15:36:45): Ugoyle grunts in agreement.
tengusaur (15:37:13): Roger: "If you had any doubts that we're at the right place, they're all gone now. We don't plan to go anywhere, guardians."
drascin (15:37:18): Ashe: "Bigger pseudoroids than you two have tried!"
cubey@aol.pl (15:37:22): Albhard finds it hard to turn in time, but fortunately Selena was there to assist also.
cubey@aol.pl (15:37:43): Only a few spiders manage to explode at Grungust's legs, the rest is quickly disposed of.. and a path of destruction is made in the jungle.
cubey@aol.pl (15:37:46): Ashe, Jen, go.
drascin (15:39:01): Ashe: "In fact, let me show you!"
cubey@aol.pl (15:39:05): Argoyle: "Do not underestimate us! We are one Pseudoroid in two bodies, our teamwork is excellent!"
cubey@aol.pl (15:39:29): Ugoyle grunts in a challenging fashion.
Wyverncakes (15:39:34): Selena: "Teamwork you say?"
drascin (15:40:48): *Ashe flies through the trees, disappearing behind the canopy - and suddenly Buckfire comes out of nowhere at Urgoyle with a powerful lateral kick...&
Peter Kampschroeder (15:41:17): *Jen's devouring nanobot cloud goes and rips through those vines-giving her a knife to slice through the rest with. Cethlenn jumps from treetop to treetop, before dropping down onto the drill spider from above and stabbing into it-again, and again, and again...+
cubey@aol.pl (15:42:40): Ugoyle grunts in surprise, forced into a sudden skate dashing dodge! However at the same time Argoyle already throws something - it's a bomb, a bomb thrown at both Ashefire and its twin!
cubey@aol.pl (15:42:42): React/continue
cubey@aol.pl (15:43:22): The spider tries to right itself, its limbs move quickly and generate energy projectiles, throwing them up at Cethlenn as it descends down!
cubey@aol.pl (15:43:23): React!
Peter Kampschroeder (15:44:05): *"Gah!" Okay, not the best plan! Cethlenn crosses its arms in front of itself to try to tank the projectiles before continuing its assault.+
drascin (15:45:02): &...but without missing a beat suddenly what is there is a gigantic blue thing (namely Bifrost, swinging its tail in a spinning move with far more reach than expected, batting the bomb away and hoping to catch Urgoyle in the shockwave before he gets away!+
cubey@aol.pl (15:46:40): These energy blasts cause serious damage to Cethlenn's frame, and also some to its inner systems!
cubey@aol.pl (15:46:58): However, since Jen decided not to interrupt the assault, the Spidrill suddenly has a small robot on its back, stabbing time and time again
cubey@aol.pl (15:47:13): It screeches, trying to shake it off wildly, but instead it rolls over on its back, destroyed.
cubey@aol.pl (15:47:25): Ashe throws Ugoyle and the bomb away!
Peter Kampschroeder (15:47:35): Jen: "Stupid...robot...spider..."
tengusaur (15:47:42): Roger: "There goes that one. Jen, are you fine?"
cubey@aol.pl (15:47:43): Ugoyle grunts from exertion - and before the bomb explodes, kicks it away! Rather... it was not in danger of exploding at all, because it was not active.
cubey@aol.pl (15:47:54): But it is now, because it starts to pulse! And it was kicked towards Argoyle.
cubey@aol.pl (15:48:13): Argoyle: "This is what I was talking about!" WHo kicks it back, at Bifrost's exposed flank!
cubey@aol.pl (15:48:15): React again.
cubey@aol.pl (15:48:20): Roger and Team Jelba can move.
tengusaur (15:49:08): * First thing Roger does is catch one of the turret bots on a Moby Dick Anchor. The second thing is swing it mightily, into the twin guardians, like a flail! +
Wyverncakes (15:49:36): Albhard: "Looks to me like they have that teamwork idea down... at least against one person! But let's see how the handling getting divided and conquered!"
tengusaur (15:49:43): Roger: "Let's take care of these ones, now"
tengusaur (15:49:47): Roger: "!"
drascin (15:50:49): Ashe: "Oh shoot!"
drascin (15:51:17): *Yup, that seems like Ashe's cue to turn back into Medga Man A and roll the hell away+
Wyverncakes (15:51:36): * Missile pods on the Super Robot's legs swing down to fire their payload at Ugoyle, and at the same time the Stealth Boomerang's assembled by Selena and thrown at Argoyle, fading in and out among the jungle before ultimately attacking from behind!+
cubey@aol.pl (15:52:46): Roger grabs a Barriode and swings it! At the same time, the Shisaroids are under attack by Team Jelba - but even if one of them can't see the attack coming, the other can.
cubey@aol.pl (15:53:04): Argoyle jumps high, boosting away from the attacks, Ugoyle jumps low... and at the same time.
cubey@aol.pl (15:53:16): The cliff side Barriodes (5) all start a barrage down on Big O!
cubey@aol.pl (15:53:30): Selena's stealth attempt brings her next to a narrow river.
cubey@aol.pl (15:53:59): From which, a swarm of robotic piranha-like creatures suddenly jumps out, trying to bite into her AS!
cubey@aol.pl (15:54:01): React!
cubey@aol.pl (15:54:05): Also react, Roger.
cubey@aol.pl (15:54:15): Rumblefish: http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/5/54/ZXARumblefish.png/revision/latest?cb=20101006193705
tengusaur (15:55:01): Roger: "Looks like they're not going to give up so easily. I'll focus on these turrets for the time being!" Big O raises its shielded arms for protection against the cannonade in the meantime. One step at a time. +
cubey@aol.pl (15:55:06): Ashe feels the bomb's explosion on her back and side as she tumbles away. But it was meant to target the big Bifrost whcih suddenly became small and human-like, so the dodge was successful.
Wyverncakes (15:55:53): Elma: "Selena, fish!"
Wyverncakes (15:56:31): Selena: "-Not any kind worth cooking, I'm afraid."
VJockey (15:56:45): #Roger?
cubey@aol.pl (15:56:53): Approved
Wyverncakes (15:58:41): * Beam daggers are ejected from the Soleares's arms and then grabbed in-hand, each one lengthening out into their whip-like Sol Fencer formation! "But I won't say no to cutting them up!" The whips begin swinging every which way with each flick of the Soleares's wrists.+
cubey@aol.pl (15:59:15): Four Rumblefish are cut up by Sol Fencer, their parts falling to the water!
drascin (15:59:16): Ashe: "Okay, who the heck traps a whole jungle?"
cubey@aol.pl (15:59:37): The rest manage to take a bite out of Soleares, dealing armor damage before leaping back down into the river.
VJockey (15:59:40): *There's a roar of an engine. But what could be driving all the way out here? Why a familiar red truck followed by two equally familiar small cars that soon ramped off Big O to attack the Barriodes head on, transforming mid air into the Autobots we all know, raining weaponsfire down on the attackers!+
cubey@aol.pl (15:59:41): They are still down there...
Peter Kampschroeder (15:59:42): Jen: "Is everything here evil robots?!"
Peter Kampschroeder (15:59:55): Jen: "Mister Optimus!"
tengusaur (16:00:13): Roger: "If so, we have our own good ones to counter them."
cubey@aol.pl (16:00:58): The group of Barridoes is wiped out, making Roger suffer almost no damage from the blasts as they end prematurely!
cubey@aol.pl (16:01:05): Remaining enemies: Barriode x7 (2 damaged), Rumblefish x6, Argoyle and Ugoyle
cubey@aol.pl (16:01:11): Optimus, Ashe, Jen, go!
VJockey (16:01:28): "Apologies for the delay. The jungle was somewhat difficult to navigate."
cubey@aol.pl (16:01:36): Ugoyle looks up and grunts, unimpressed.
drascin (16:01:38): Ashe: "No kidding!"
VJockey (16:01:45): Cliffjumper: "Feels like home to me!"
Wyverncakes (16:01:46): Selena just makes an annoyed sound. They'd likely be back for a second serving.
tengusaur (16:02:05): Roger: "Is your home full of electric trees?"
tengusaur (16:02:20): Roger: "...Actually, it might be."
Peter Kampschroeder (16:02:38): *Jen turns and takes a swipe out of one of the metal trees, turning it and her knife into a second rail pistol-and opens up on the Barriodes, guns akimbo!+
cubey@aol.pl (16:03:22): The tree does not appreciate that - as you try to consume its metal, it fires energy blasts from holes that suddenly appear all over it!
cubey@aol.pl (16:03:24): React!
drascin (16:03:48): *Ashe is going to try to keep the pressure on Argoyle - but since keeping up with the two of them going their separate ways is impossible and probably just going to end up with a trap, she turns into Atlas and begins to open chain fire with her powerful cannons at the skating shisas+
cubey@aol.pl (16:04:10): (Firing at both or only Argoyle?)
VJockey (16:04:53): *Whatever Cliffjumper's answer was it was drowned out as he promptly pulled out a pair of rifles and let loose at full auto at the other Barriodes as Bumblebee did the same with his blaster pistol, Optimus delivering more precise and powerful blasts from his Ion Blaster.+
Peter Kampschroeder (16:05:09): *As that tree opens fire, Jen's posture shifts briefly into something resembling a boxing stance-and she quickly sidesteps to dodge the blasts and finish her item crafting/attack manuever.+
drascin (16:06:19): (both if possible, but Argoyle is primary target if they separate)
cubey@aol.pl (16:06:28): The beams get avoided by a stance shift, which lets Jen add to the Autobot canonade. Shots fired at Barriodes' main bodies deal little damage and mostly bounce off, but hitting their heads causes them to explode.
cubey@aol.pl (16:06:32): The cannon enemies are no more!
cubey@aol.pl (16:06:55): Argoyle: "There she goes again! What are you expecting?"
cubey@aol.pl (16:07:24): Argoyle and Ugoyle indeed skate in two different directions, one of them trying to boost his way out of the inferno. The other already prepares several bombs, activating them and throwing at Ash in Atlas form!
cubey@aol.pl (16:07:26): React!
drascin (16:10:15): *Okay, that she did expect, and so she was ready. As the bombs come at her from the side, Atlas becomes Aeolus, boosting himself off the ground vertically to escape the blasts!+
cubey@aol.pl (16:11:59): Ashe's out of the fire this time! The bombs explode under her - and the Shisaroids are a fair bit away from each other. For now.
cubey@aol.pl (16:12:02): Roger, Selena, go!
tengusaur (16:12:08): (enemy list?)
cubey@aol.pl (16:12:19): Enemies: Rumblefish x6, Argoyle and Ugoyle
Wyverncakes (16:13:01): "Elma, keep an eye on the river. I want to know if our fishy friends decide to pay us another visit."
Wyverncakes (16:15:19): * But in the meantime, the Soleares draws the Stealth Boomerang again and hurls it at Argoyle before winking out again. The boomerang this time is curiously not hiding its motions at all, heading straight for the robot... but then suddenly it breaks apart, both swords getting snatched up by the suddenly-appearing Soleares... diving straigh towards Ugoyle full-speed! "Surprise!" is all she says before bringing both blades down!+
tengusaur (16:15:50): Roger: "You won't have to worry about them!" Slots open in Big O's chest, revealing heavy cannons, which proceed to fire a long burst into the river, aiming at the robotic fish swimming in it! +
cubey@aol.pl (16:16:53): Argoyle is still going at top speed, easily evading the boomerang... but it was not meant for him at all!
cubey@aol.pl (16:17:10): Ugoyle was tracking Soleares' movements, preparing for another attack - to find the AS way too close to him!
cubey@aol.pl (16:17:35): He grunts in surprise before being cut, a last second dodge meaning he is not cleaved in two, but still damaged and thrown back!
cubey@aol.pl (16:17:57): At the same time, Roger's cannonade causes the river to go up in a series of explosions. Water and parts of robotic fish splash everywhere.
cubey@aol.pl (16:18:01): Optimus, Ashe, Jen, go!
Wyverncakes (16:18:10): Albhard: "Almost got him..."
Wyverncakes (16:18:44): Selena: "Oh it's good enough for a first go of it."
Peter Kampschroeder (16:20:18): *Jen: "Alright...let's finish this!" those dual pistols turn on Argoyle, blasting away in unison.+
drascin (16:21:02): *You know, it's been like half a minute since Ashe rolled and ended up out of sight. Wonder where she is. Well, that's answered pretty soon, since while Argoyle is looking at the boomerang and sudden Selena, he's going to find himself coming into a direct collision course with a meteor Buckfire kick coming straight from the other direction!+
drascin (16:21:21): Ashe: Shouldn't turn your head!
VJockey (16:21:39): *Optimus and Bumblebee open fire at Ugoyle, trying to give him less room to manuever! Cliffjumper on the other hand seems to be moving quickly to get into position for something... but what?&
cubey@aol.pl (16:22:50): Argoyle turns to investigate the source of noise - and gets a deer-rider kick to the face! THrown back by the assault, he is shot at by Jen!
cubey@aol.pl (16:23:03): Argoyle: "Ahh! Well done, but this is not over... not yet!"
cubey@aol.pl (16:23:44): Ugoyle quickly recovers, bouncing off a tree (they do not attack him, cheater) and evading Optimus and Bumblebee's shots as best as he can. He already creates more bombs to use against the attackers who smote his win...
cubey@aol.pl (16:23:50): Continue, Optimus!
VJockey (16:25:31): *With Ugoyle focusing on Optimus and Bumblebee this gave Cliffjumper exactly the opening he needed.... to liberally blast Glass Gas at Ugoyle in order to render all his metallic parts as brittle as glass+
cubey@aol.pl (16:27:42): Ugoyle suddenly gets gassed! He grunts in shock, finding his already damaged form becoming brittle... and the bombs explode in his face!
cubey@aol.pl (16:27:56): Argoyle: "This is... the end of us..."
cubey@aol.pl (16:28:04): The Shisaroid falls down to his knees.
cubey@aol.pl (16:28:17): Argoyle: "However, Master Albert's plans will not be foiled by the likes of you..."
cubey@aol.pl (16:28:28): Ugoyle: "My road ends here."
cubey@aol.pl (16:28:41): Look, he could talk. However they both drop dead, now.
cubey@aol.pl (16:29:10): Your enemies are all done for.
cubey@aol.pl (16:29:12): Ashe!
Wyverncakes (16:29:17): Albhard: "That got the both of them at once?"
cubey@aol.pl (16:29:30): Model A acquired data left behind by Argoyle - and Ugoyle as well, probably.
tengusaur (16:29:33): Roger: "The only appropriate way to end it, I believe."
VJockey (16:29:37): Cliffjumper: "Phosphex. For all your 'con killing needs. Works on other robots just as well."
Peter Kampschroeder (16:30:02): Jen: "Even you?"
drascin (16:30:16): Ashe: Eeeesh.
Wyverncakes (16:30:17): Selena: "Rather poetic though."
drascin (16:30:22): Yeah, not a happy way to go
VJockey (16:30:25): Cliffjumper: "Why do you think I never aim it upwind?"
drascin (16:30:57): Ashe: Alright, guys, let's see if we can find the base and get in.
cubey@aol.pl (16:30:58): No more time to waste here. The way to the facility is open.
tengusaur (16:31:25): Roger: "Let's move in. And watch out - there's probably more surprises inside."
drascin (16:31:35): Model A: After all this trouble I hope there's something good inside!
Ashe: You and me both, Model A.
cubey@aol.pl (16:32:02): To speed things up a little - it does not take you a lot of time to get closer to the facility. Watch out for killer trees and/or fish.
cubey@aol.pl (16:32:16): Soon enough, you can see the base, hidden in a cliffside.
cubey@aol.pl (16:32:30): However there is a small problem. A larger river is on the way.
cubey@aol.pl (16:32:32): Also
cubey@aol.pl (16:32:51): All around you, the trees look even more obviously mechanical.
cubey@aol.pl (16:32:57): And more spiders skitter out of the darkness.
cubey@aol.pl (16:33:05): You will have to break your way through them.
cubey@aol.pl (16:33:17): Enemies: Spidrill x6, Giganto Bole x4
cubey@aol.pl (16:33:23): Giganto Bole
http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/d/de/ZXAGigantoBole.png/revision/latest?cb=20101109203919
cubey@aol.pl (16:33:28): Roger, Selena, go now.
cubey@aol.pl (16:33:54): Also
cubey@aol.pl (16:33:57): ??? can move too
Wyverncakes (16:34:40): Albhard: "Still not done yet in spite of everything though..."
Wyverncakes (16:34:52): "Whatever they have here, they definitely don't want us getting it!"
drascin (16:35:01): Ashe: "So much for environmentalism"
tengusaur (16:36:34): Roger: "Those barely look like trees at this point. Let's get them out of the way!" Big O raises its arms, gathers energy around its head, and then connects its fist, firing a huge pink blast from its forehead towards a Giganto Bole and whatever other enemies are nearby it. "I'll shine a light to show it!" +
Wyverncakes (16:37:13): * The Grungust draws its Doomblade hild, resting a hand against it. "Makes life easier for us at least..." The hand pulls away, a crackling blade of energy emenating from the weapon which he holds at the ready! "-And I'll cut them down!" he adds to Roger's commentary as the Grngust charges, swinging its lengthy blade at one of the Boles.+
cubey@aol.pl (16:37:24): The Giganto Bole opens its mouth and releases a spray of something - then it is hit by the massive beam, damaging it severely...
cubey@aol.pl (16:37:27): But watch out Roger.
cubey@aol.pl (16:37:41): That something comes down from the skies now - a rain of green energy leaves!
cubey@aol.pl (16:37:45): React.
aldo salt (16:38:15): #Roger?
cubey@aol.pl (16:38:20): Approved.
cubey@aol.pl (16:38:54): The other Giganto Bole shoots out a swarm of leaves in a straightforward forward attack, filling up the air between it and Grungust with leafy pain as it attacks!
cubey@aol.pl (16:38:55): React.
aldo salt (16:39:14): ???: "You know, Selena, your mech's got a huge amount of Solar symbolism going on: makes me wonder if we should sue?"
VJockey (16:39:25): Bumblebee: "Is it a bad time to wish we could get a lumberjack?"
aldo salt (16:40:20): *ShelLancer boosts into the clearing. It's shoulder pods fire a hail of Arc Thorns that rush up into the sky in formation. "Lance Shock Barrier…Discharging!" ShelLancer's lance fires upward at the Arc Thorns, creating a sort of aerial net made of lightning to counter the leaves!+
tengusaur (16:41:40): Roger: "That line... I only know one woman who says such things." While Dido keeps the leaves away, he's free to keep up the pressure on the robotic tree, and he does so, pushing the Chrome Buster further to its limit! +
drascin (16:41:49): Ashe: At this point, Bee, I just wonder if turning a jungle into a giant nest of death is some kind of sick joke by Albert we're not getting
VJockey (16:43:02): Bumblebee: "Well he's obviously got a worse sense of humor than Megatron that's for sure!"
aldo salt (16:44:24): Indeed it is Dido Sybil! "I kid, Selena, I kid!" she says, then swallows nervously. "Um…I'm not gonna burn this forest down if I spam lightning too much, will I? I don't wanna make Smokey the Bear cry!"
Wyverncakes (16:45:25): Elma: "I don't think Solaris has a copyright on using the word 'Sol', though."
Peter Kampschroeder (16:45:58): Jen: "Please, burn it all down."
Wyverncakes (16:46:00): "... Which is fortunate, since apparently some othe group copyrighted 'Choudenji', now that I'm looking into it."
Wyverncakes (16:46:46): Albhard: "Worry about that later!"
Wyverncakes (16:47:45): * The Grungust swings back, and opts to put even more energy into the blade to extend its reach. The now gigantic doomblade comes swinging down just as the machine lands, to try to breach the leaf shield to the Bole itself!+
aldo salt (16:48:10): "Of course the corporate stooge from the Sprawl would tell me to destroy the environment!" Dido grumbles.
cubey@aol.pl (16:48:20): With Dido taking care of the leaves, Roger presses on with the attack - the tree like enemy is destroyed!
Peter Kampschroeder (16:48:53): Jen: "What the-HEY!"
cubey@aol.pl (16:48:56): Albhard presses as well - the Grungust pushing through the leaves which leave (pun intended) cuts on its armor, but it is a tuogh machine.
cubey@aol.pl (16:48:59): *Tough
cubey@aol.pl (16:49:10): And the slice deeply damages the Giganto Bole!
cubey@aol.pl (16:49:21): Damages, but not destroys.
cubey@aol.pl (16:49:26): Yet, it explodes anyway!
cubey@aol.pl (16:49:32): ???: "There they are."
cubey@aol.pl (16:49:40): A series of explosions shakes Master Albert's installation!
drascin (16:49:55): Ashe: Oh come on! What now?
tengusaur (16:50:04): Roger: "..." He didn't expect this.
cubey@aol.pl (16:50:18): Beams fly through the air. Spiralling beams. Several Spidrills are cut down instantly - by these attacks, and by melee units that suddenly appear out if from nowhere.
cubey@aol.pl (16:50:28): You couldn't detect them on your radars, even using Elma's advanced sensors!
Wyverncakes (16:50:33): Albhard: "More reinforcements?"
cubey@aol.pl (16:50:40): Gespenst mk II "Sterben"
http://www.gundammodelkits.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/main_3687_500x500.jpg
Wyverncakes (16:50:48): Elma: "How'd they sneak up on us though! I-I didn't detect any of the-"
Peter Kampschroeder (16:50:59): Jen: "Friends of yours?"
cubey@aol.pl (16:51:10): Four Gesterbens walk out of the jungle, each one in a different color - but none look too friendly.
Wyverncakes (16:51:14): Selena: "No. Colors are off, for one."
cubey@aol.pl (16:51:19): At the same time, a group of mobile suits appears from the direction of the base.
cubey@aol.pl (16:51:26): Adele
http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/c/c0/45353G342.png/revision/latest?cb=20111224170505

Adele Titus
http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/d/d5/RGE-G1100_Adele_Titus_Type.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120724134243

Adele Spallow
http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/9/96/Rge-g1100s.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130605134936
tengusaur (16:51:42): Roger: "...I think I know who those people are."
cubey@aol.pl (16:51:43): You recognize those units. Remember the recent briefing?
cubey@aol.pl (16:51:47): The SSR terrorist group is here.
drascin (16:51:52): Ashe: "...are these those new jerks?"
VJockey (16:51:53): "...These wouldn't happen to be the SSD we were informed about recently"
cubey@aol.pl (16:52:25): Enemies (SSR): Gesterben x4, Adele x4, Adele Titus x2, Adele Sparrow x2
Peter Kampschroeder (16:52:39): Jen: "I swear, I'm not with these guys."
aldo salt (16:52:41): Dido glowers. "Those guys…what are they doing with Flit's designs?"
cubey@aol.pl (16:52:47): They quickly advance on your ranks, in a formation - covering each other's flanks!
cubey@aol.pl (16:52:54): Optimus, Ashe, Jen, go!
VJockey (16:52:56): "Using them against what he had hoped for them"
Wyverncakes (16:53:06): Albhard: "We can get answers from them once we pull them out of trashed cockpits!"
tengusaur (16:53:58): Roger: "SSR. What are you doing here? I'm sure you know who we are."
Peter Kampschroeder (16:54:03): Jen: "So, SSR guys, can you just go home? Please?"
cubey@aol.pl (16:54:15): ???: "Yeah."
cubey@aol.pl (16:54:18): Look, you got a response.
drascin (16:54:20): Ashe: Yeah, we're kind of busy here, in case you didn't notice"
cubey@aol.pl (16:54:25): "I know why you're here, too!"
Wyverncakes (16:54:34): Selena: "Well well. They're actually in the mood for a little conversation!"
Wyverncakes (16:54:40): Albhad: "Color me surprised."
VJockey (16:54:50): Optimus: "We do not wish to engage in unnecessary hostilities."
cubey@aol.pl (16:55:33): ???: "You'd rather we just let you access Master Albert's base? I'm afraid I can't let you do that."
drascin (16:55:47): Ashe: ...what do you know of Albert?
drascin (16:56:02): that was about half an octave lower than Ashe usually is
aldo salt (16:56:04): "What exactly do you think we're gonna do with Albert's stuff?" Dido asks.
cubey@aol.pl (16:56:11): ???: "He's a power-obsessed madman. But your actions have gone on for long enough!"
Peter Kampschroeder (16:56:22): Jen: "Well, maybe we can go in together? I'm pretty sure we're gonna want to break his stuff..."
cubey@aol.pl (16:56:31): ???: "FDX, go! Lead them to their graves!"
Peter Kampschroeder (16:56:52): Jen: "Oh. So it's like that. Again."
VJockey (16:57:08): "... I do not wish to have to fight you. But if you insist on pushing this further..."
VJockey (16:57:21): "So be it."
tengusaur (16:57:35): Roger: "Are you this obsessed with causing more terror for its own sake?"
drascin (16:57:40): Ashe: Wait, how does that make any sense?! We're here to fight Albert too, you dumb jerks!
VJockey (16:57:48): *Optimus takes aim at the Titus Adeles and opens fire, Bumblebee joining him after. Cliffjumper was letting loose with his Glass Gas to further increase the damage they recieved!+
tengusaur (16:58:13): Roger: "Unity Group is here to stop a threat to the world as a whole."
cubey@aol.pl (16:58:19): ???#2 - a different, cynical sounding male voice.
cubey@aol.pl (16:58:42): #2: "Heh, look who's talking. So high and mighty, you act like what you did was in any way just or noble."
Peter Kampschroeder (16:58:49): *Jen, somewhat tired of all this, opens fire with her pistols on the Spallow Adeles. "Seriously, just once...Just once, I want talking to work..."+
VJockey (16:58:55): "They believe their cause is irreconcileable with the side we have chosen Ashe. If what was mentioned about them is true... they will refuse to acknowledge anyone aligned with those they are opposed by."
cubey@aol.pl (16:59:20): The Titus Adeles juke to the sides - creating an open path, and at its end stands one of the normal Adeles.
drascin (16:59:21): Ashe What are you even talking about?!
drascin (16:59:35): Seriously, these guys are making zero sense
cubey@aol.pl (16:59:51): It fires spiralling DODS shots, two flying to the sides of Optimus and his entourage and hitting nothing... but then comes a third!
Peter Kampschroeder (16:59:53): She keeps muttering under her breath. "All this honor and causes and ideals BS...seriously, I'm just a postwoman, who cares about ideals..."
cubey@aol.pl (16:59:58): And it threatens to hit him straight on!
cubey@aol.pl (17:00:00): React!
tengusaur (17:00:13): # Optimus
cubey@aol.pl (17:00:15): Approved.
drascin (17:00:18): *Well, diplomacy has failed. So let's see how these guys take some sudden heavy blaster fire courtesy of Atlas, then! Ashe is aiming at the joints of the Adeles, intending to very literally disarm the lot. Ashe does not shoot to kill if she can help it+
Wyverncakes (17:00:23): Selena: "You know..."
aldo salt (17:00:37): "Yeah, what are you talking about?" Dido growls in frustration. "Why do all these enemies somehow think we're stooges of the man, or corrupt guns for hire? These SSR people sound just like…"
Wyverncakes (17:00:45): "I don't think this is the first time you lot have shown your face to the Unity Group."
tengusaur (17:00:57): * Big O moves forward, raising its arms in an X-shaped block and trying to intercept the incoming blast with it.+
cubey@aol.pl (17:01:06): The Spallows likewise are trying to dodge - and while Jen is focused on one, the other equips its short Shiguru Blade and charges forward! It activates thrusters on its arm, and with their help swings wildly!
cubey@aol.pl (17:01:07): React!
aldo salt (17:01:20): The penny drops. "Fudge-Skittles." Dido swears.
Wyverncakes (17:01:22): "... In fact, I remember having o make it clear I wasn't one of you when they found me not long afterwards with the same kind of machine!"
aldo salt (17:01:25): #Jen?
cubey@aol.pl (17:01:28): Approved.
VJockey (17:01:41): *With Roger covering him, Optimus fires at the DODS gun from behind the Big O!+
tengusaur (17:01:56): Roger: "You might consider ESUN a tyrant, but you cannot ignore how much it did to fight against various dangers."
VJockey (17:02:03): Bumblebee: "Dido? Who do these guys sound like?"
drascin (17:02:29): Ashe: Okay, timeout, if you guys are so in the know can someone explain to me what's going on?
aldo salt (17:02:33): *Dido activates ShelLancer's Shell Boost, charges and tries to skewer the Spallow in its waist and push it away!+
cubey@aol.pl (17:02:36): The remaining trio of Adeles try to form a shield wall, to intecept Ashe's shots and from behind it, fire back at her using the DODS guns! React.
griefgathering (17:03:00): #Ashe?
aldo salt (17:03:01): "Freaking Loni and Friends!" Dido clarifies for Bumblebee. "At least that's my guess!"
cubey@aol.pl (17:03:16): Approved.
cubey@aol.pl (17:03:26): #1: "Tyrant? Look who's talking!"
Peter Kampschroeder (17:03:31): *Jen jumps back and to the side to avoid the Adele-and Shellancer-while keeping up her barrage on the closing melee units.+
VJockey (17:03:32): Cliffjumper: "Can't be. These punks are too organized!"
drascin (17:04:11): Ashe: No way that's Loni. Doesn't shout anywhere near enough, for one!
VJockey (17:04:13): Optimus: "What tyrannical actions have ESUN enacted."
griefgathering (17:04:25): *A volley of photon bolts from a different direction lance out towards the DODS guns. If they can't be stopped from firing, at least they can be stopped from firing again!+
tengusaur (17:04:26): Roger: "Just what is your problem with Unity Group, exactly?"
VJockey (17:04:34): "The Autobots have and will always fight for the rights and freedoms of all Sentient beings!"
cubey@aol.pl (17:04:37): The DODS blast is intercept by Big O - but causes significant damage to its arms' armor!
VJockey (17:04:40): "Just what crimes have been commited?"
cubey@aol.pl (17:04:57): At the same time, Optimus fires - but the Adele was already dodging out of the way.
cubey@aol.pl (17:05:02): #2: "Boost! It's a feint!"
VJockey (17:05:10): [Optimus wasn't buying into it, but rather telling them that if they were going to throw fire around they had to back it up.]
drascin (17:06:30): *Ashe knows she can't tank that. In fact, she doesn't even try. Instead there's a flash of purple and a sudden lack of anyone at the point Ashe was a second ago... and the guy who fired might want to look down, because suddenly Vulturon is coming up from its feet in a rising axe shoryuken!+
cubey@aol.pl (17:06:49): #1: "I have no problems with ESUN. It's nothing personal, but other places need protection too."
cubey@aol.pl (17:07:05): #1: "You however are incredible hypocrites! It's almost funny if it wasn't so sad!"
cubey@aol.pl (17:07:58): Ashe dodges the blasts - and the Adele pilots suddenly find themselves disarmed, their DODS guns broken by the Megaman and photon blasts from the new arrival!
cubey@aol.pl (17:08:20): Jen dodges thanks to Dido, but as Dido tries to strike at the Adele...
cubey@aol.pl (17:08:49): Suddenly, speaking of photon shots - another weapon fires, knocking off-balance the ShellLancer -and letting the Sparrow strike a deep gash into its armor with the Shiguru Blade!
cubey@aol.pl (17:08:58): ???#3 - a female voice this time
cubey@aol.pl (17:09:06): And not entirely an unfamiliar one, for some...
VJockey (17:09:09): "And just how can you hope for them to be protected if you attack their defenders! What hipocrisy have we enacted?"
cubey@aol.pl (17:09:32): #3: "No matter what you have done in the past, your recent actions cannot be forgiven. In fact..."
cubey@aol.pl (17:09:44): Her unit arrives - it was the one who shot Dido's unit.
cubey@aol.pl (17:09:50): From the base's direction, high in the air flies
cubey@aol.pl (17:09:59): R-Gun
http://srwog-ib.suparobo.jp/images/mechanic/27/mechanic.png
cubey@aol.pl (17:10:10): #3: "They cast everything you have done in negative light."
cubey@aol.pl (17:10:30): #2: "I just can't stand traitors, sorry."
griefgathering (17:10:35): And on the allied reinforcements side, a unit approaches across the ground.
VJockey (17:10:44): "Traitors?"
griefgathering (17:10:47): http://www.gearsonline.net/series/superrobotwars/mecha/wildschwein/wildschwein-01.jpg
Peter Kampschroeder (17:10:47): Jen: "...Still not following you here."
VJockey (17:10:50): "Just what have we betrayed?"
tengusaur (17:10:54): Roger: "Hypocrisy? Recent actions? Traitors? What are you talking about? Your words don't make sense."
cubey@aol.pl (17:10:58): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OSZ16v7XdM
drascin (17:11:00): Ashe: Okay, assume I'm an idiot, because you're still making absolutely no sense
cubey@aol.pl (17:11:14): Viletta Vadim: "Why have you killed your own Commander-in-Chief?!"
drascin (17:11:19): Model A: I think these guys just find it funny to be stupidly cryptic for no reason...
Wyverncakes (17:11:19): Selena: "Wait... that voice...!"
Wyverncakes (17:11:32): Albhard: "-Oh no."
VJockey (17:11:43): "......."
Wyverncakes (17:11:48): Selena: "... Everyone..."
VJockey (17:11:50): "Commander Antov was a good man."
VJockey (17:11:58): "No. More than that. He was a good friend."
Wyverncakes (17:12:00): "... That's her."
cubey@aol.pl (17:12:27): Cobray and Roger can go now.
VJockey (17:12:28): "You throw your accusations without knowing the full weight of what had occurred on the day of his death."
aldo salt (17:12:33): "Gah!" Dido shouts her, unit staggering. "…what are you talking about? We did not kill Antov." She looks down at her knees. "He gave his life to save ours."
Wyverncakes (17:12:55): "They're just full of it. Maybe the lower brass is out of the loop..."
Wyverncakes (17:13:11): "But they have a Balmarian in their ranks!"
VJockey (17:13:11): "He was not killed by any member of the Unity Group."
tengusaur (17:13:14): Roger: "Commander Antov was killed by an escaping prisoner. Not by a member of Unity Group."
cubey@aol.pl (17:13:14): #1: "No, I'm pretty sure we know well enough."
drascin (17:13:15): Ashe: ...what?! That's a lie! I WAS there and I saw how it happened!
tengusaur (17:13:29): Roger: "...The SSR has allied themselves with Balmarians?"
cubey@aol.pl (17:13:37): #1: "Your cover up won't fool us."
drascin (17:13:39): Ashe: Ilinka killed him, because he was trying to stop Loni when we couldn't!
Peter Kampschroeder (17:13:54): Jen: "Can we settle this in a court, like normal adults?"
Wyverncakes (17:13:55): Selena: "That woman's voice... it's the same as the one I unmasked during Operation Doll!"
VJockey (17:14:08): "Apollonius Gavin. Desta Mlakar. Ilinka Venczel. They are the ones responsible for his death."
Wyverncakes (17:14:11): "The same group that killed Team Jelba...!"
tengusaur (17:14:25): Roger facepalms in his cockpit for a moment. "The whole situation just became much more complicated."
griefgathering (17:14:32): Cobray has absolutely no idea what's going on here, but he finally has a machine he can pilot confidently.
Wyverncakes (17:14:32): All this time she had been searching space before giving up and trying to move on... she should've been searching the Earth instead!
cubey@aol.pl (17:14:35): #2: "This is getting chaotic, isn't it?"
aldo salt (17:14:44): "Have to agree with you, Roger." Dido replies.
cubey@aol.pl (17:14:49): Viletta: "Perhaps. But we have a way to settle it."
VJockey (17:14:54): "There is no need for further violence."
cubey@aol.pl (17:15:03): Viletta: "All units, attack the enemy. Try to neutralize them if possible."
tengusaur (17:15:10): Roger: "I do not think negotiations will work anymore, Optimus. They are not willing to listen."
Wyverncakes (17:15:17): Selena: "'Neutralize' she says."
VJockey (17:15:27): "... It was at least worth a try Roger."
cubey@aol.pl (17:15:29): Viletta: "I am afraid after what transpired... we cannot allow for peaceful solutions. Not if it means giving them a chance to run away, or backstab us."
Wyverncakes (17:15:32): She lets out an annoyed snort.
drascin (17:15:40): Ashe: Yeah, right. "Neutralize" us. That's not going to happen.
drascin (17:15:49): Ashe is starting to sound markedly pissed off again
aldo salt (17:15:50): "Neutralize: that means…shoot us down without killing?" Dido says hopefully.
Wyverncakes (17:16:02): "You're laying it on this thick? You should've just kept your mouth shut."
Peter Kampschroeder (17:16:08): Jen: "That's...ergh....Just how hard-headed can someone get..."
VJockey (17:16:11): Cliffjumper: "She's probably going to murder us one by one."
Wyverncakes (17:16:16): "Whoever you are, you won't get out of here alive!"
drascin (17:16:23): Ashe: We're going to neutralize you and then I'm going to be giving you people a serious earful!
Wyverncakes (17:16:23): Albhard: "... Selena..."
VJockey (17:16:26): "I say we get her before she gets us!"
cubey@aol.pl (17:16:42): #1: "You people really have the wrong impression here. Or you're good at pretending... frankly, we were warned that'd happen."
tengusaur (17:17:20): Roger: "Which means we need to make them listen with our fists!" Big O moves forward, bringing up its shielded forearms in a defensive block - as long as it takes for Roger to reach the R-Gun, at which point ones of them moves back to reveal that the piston has already pulled backwards! Roger launches a fist at Viletta's machine, then follows up by releasing the pressure accumulated inside the piston! +
cubey@aol.pl (17:17:30): #1: "What I'm saying is, don't look down on us."
Peter Kampschroeder (17:17:38): Jen: "Or! Or! Maybe you're a little bit mistaken?"
cubey@aol.pl (17:17:42): The Gesterbens spread their formation around the foliage.
tengusaur (17:18:02): Roger: "After the attacks you launches on ESUN bases, I'm not sure if that's possible."
tengusaur (17:18:05): *launched
VJockey (17:18:09): Optimus: "I do not. But your refusal to allow us to speak of what transpired that day or give us the benefit of the doubt..."
Wyverncakes (17:18:16): Selena: "Albhard... everyone..."
VJockey (17:18:22): "You are the ones looking down upon us."
Wyverncakes (17:18:23): "Leave the R-Gun to me."
cubey@aol.pl (17:18:28): Viletta: "We have proof enough. Something was impossible to falsify."
Wyverncakes (17:18:30): Albhard: "The hell I'm doing that!"
cubey@aol.pl (17:19:20): Viletta: "Hmm?" Seeing the Big O approach, the R-Gun forms a boomerang-like weapon. Its pilot throws it at Big O - it flies above it, but as Roger starts his assault, she dodges back, while sending the weapon also flying back - towards Big O's exposed behind!
cubey@aol.pl (17:19:21): React.
Wyverncakes (17:19:29): "If she's really the masked woman, then I'm not risking losing the only team I've got left!"
drascin (17:19:29): #
Wyverncakes (17:19:32): #
aldo salt (17:19:33): "Easier said than done!" Dido replies to #1. "What with you telling us we're either corrupt stooges or dupes!" ShelLancer rises up and levels its Lance. "What the heck does SSR stand for anyway? Super Science Resistance? Super Socialist Republic? Seismic…Sand Rover?"
Peter Kampschroeder (17:19:50): Jen: "And, of course, you can't show me that proof, can you?"
cubey@aol.pl (17:20:01): Approved, Ashe.
cubey@aol.pl (17:20:17): #1: "Ah, good question. It was something in German..."
VJockey (17:20:19): Bumblebee: "What about Special Security Regiment?"
cubey@aol.pl (17:20:30): This person does not sound too serious.
VJockey (17:21:01): Bumblebee: "But... that kinda sounts too legit if these guys are terrorists attacking ESUN bases right?"
cubey@aol.pl (17:21:06): (One # is enough, so I'll let Ashe have it)
griefgathering (17:21:13): Cobray: *"TC-OS is operating normally. Proceeding with the mission." Fortunately no one gets what's wrong with him piloting this thing at the moment, so he'll use that to his advantage and move on. The Photon Rifle is aimed at an Adele and a few shots are let loose on it!+
drascin (17:21:19): *As the boomerang turns around to go for Big O's back, Buckfire slams into it with a pretty brutal Falcon Kick aimed straight at its center, with the intention to either break it or send it flying away+
drascin (17:21:56): Ashe: Don't you even think about it!
cubey@aol.pl (17:22:34): #2: "I was getting better at sniping. But..."
cubey@aol.pl (17:23:02): The Adele raises its shield, the photon rifle shot glancing against it. The other wrecks a hole in the shield, but it's already cast away as the Adele charges forward, raising a beam saber at the Wildschwein!
cubey@aol.pl (17:23:31): #2: "I can do this too! Mutineers are a 'no thank you' in my book!"
cubey@aol.pl (17:23:32): React!
aldo salt (17:23:35): #Cobray?
tengusaur (17:23:39): * Big O's back is exposed, so Roger can't do much to defend against this strike. Good that Ashe has it handled! Instead, he tries to attack the R-Gun with the accumulated pressure from the piston, even if the fist itself was dodged. +
griefgathering (17:23:43): (I got this)
cubey@aol.pl (17:24:10): The boomerang is knocked down, away from Big O - and the piston punch glances the R-Gun, despite its dodge!
cubey@aol.pl (17:24:15): Viletta: "Yeah... we have proof."
cubey@aol.pl (17:24:26): She remains calm even in the face of damage.
VJockey (17:24:35): Optimus: "Then show it to us."
tengusaur (17:24:37): Roger: "What is your proof?"
cubey@aol.pl (17:25:00): Viletta: "It's rather hard to send videos during combat while you are trying to kill me, isn't it?"
VJockey (17:25:13): "Then will you stand down if we do the same."
cubey@aol.pl (17:26:09): Viletta: "I promise nothing. Not even to you, Optimus Prime. The people of Cybertron can be reprogrammed, right? Or perhaps brainwashed is a better word."
drascin (17:26:10): Ashe: You realize you're the one who started the fight anyway!
Model A: And even now Ashe is probably too soft to kill you anyway...
Ashe: Watch who you're callling soft, you little design paperweight
griefgathering (17:26:19): *Cobray was expecting some retaliation for that, and the Adele isn't the only one with a beam melee weapon. The Wildschwein draws its own beam sword to parry the attack! But it's not stopping there, as its other arm ignites a circular-beam weapon shaped like a disc. The machine jukes to the side after the parry to deliver a slash with the Circle Zanber to the Adele's side!+
tengusaur (17:26:23): Roger: "Thanks for support, Ashe."
tengusaur (17:26:35): Viletta's words just make him make an unamused face in his cockpit.
aldo salt (17:26:49): Dido grunts. "Viletta." She says. "Ever heard of Occam's Razor? The explanation with the fewest assumptions is the best?"
VJockey (17:26:51): "...It is possible. But it would be as difficult as doing the same to the human mind."
Peter Kampschroeder (17:26:52): Jen: "...If I could hook franz kafka's mouldering corpse up to a generator now..."
Wyverncakes (17:27:04): "You sound like you know a lot more about Cybertronians than most."
cubey@aol.pl (17:27:23): Viletta: "In other words it is entirely possible that the rogue elements in Unity Group are using you right now, and you do not even notice!"
Wyverncakes (17:27:32): "Optimus, how far back has Cybertron butted heads with Balmar?"
cubey@aol.pl (17:27:49): The two beam weapons clash - and the Adele is surprisingly on equal grounds with the Wildschwein.
tengusaur (17:28:02): Roger: "The closest we had to rogue elements fled the organization and killed its leader in an incident you attribute to the rest of us."
VJockey (17:28:08): "... We have had minor encounters. Much of the agitation was caused by the Decepticons."
cubey@aol.pl (17:28:08): But the Circle Zanber attacks, and its pilot dodges back to avoid a slicing. The mobile suit is still damaged, however.
aldo salt (17:28:20): "What explanation has got more assumptions: that the UG is completely bought, coerced, and reprogrammed to be slaves of the Man….or that we're simply being kept in the dark about a few things?" Dido asks Viletta.
cubey@aol.pl (17:28:40): #2: "Gaah! I am not paying for that, my debt is huge enough!"
VJockey (17:28:57): "The information I shared with you previously was at the very least a few millenia previously."
griefgathering (17:29:26): Cobray: "His reactions are good."
griefgathering (17:29:46): Still, the motion pattern that he just used with that maneuver bothers him too.
griefgathering (17:30:09): It's almost like he knows it himself.
cubey@aol.pl (17:30:13): Viletta: "I know it may sound far fetched, but the Steel Dragon Group has witnessed weirder. And not that rarely, either."
VJockey (17:30:25): "...."
cubey@aol.pl (17:30:32): Viletta: "Very well. FDX, cover me. Here is your proof."
cubey@aol.pl (17:31:12): The R-Gun seems to move with slightly less attention for the moment.
cubey@aol.pl (17:31:18): Does anyone take this as a chance to attack?
drascin (17:31:27): Not here
Peter Kampschroeder (17:31:30): Not this time!
tengusaur (17:31:40): Roger just pays attention to what's going on.
aldo salt (17:31:53): Dido hangs back, ready to launch Arc Thorns to form a barrier…but keeps still for now.
VJockey (17:31:58): [Nope. Optimus is actually stopping all hostilities and motioning for his fellows to stand down.]
cubey@aol.pl (17:32:08): #1: "Clear, there aren't any bugs ready to jump at you or anything."
Wyverncakes (17:32:11): The Soleares though...
cubey@aol.pl (17:32:14): Viletta: "What do you have to say about this?"
cubey@aol.pl (17:32:22): On your screens, you see a recording.
cubey@aol.pl (17:32:33): A recording that is taken in a very chaotic environment, yet looks clear and genuine.
cubey@aol.pl (17:32:37): But it cannot be genuine.
cubey@aol.pl (17:32:47): Because you were there and this did not happen.
Wyverncakes (17:32:51): ... Moves in... only to get grabbed by the Grungust!
VJockey (17:32:54): "...."
Wyverncakes (17:33:01): Albhard: "Wait, Selena!"
cubey@aol.pl (17:33:06): When Loni was making a breakthrough from Fort Alhambra, he was definitely not covered by Unity Group units!
aldo salt (17:33:10): "…the fudge?" Dido blurts out.
cubey@aol.pl (17:33:19): Unity Group units that fought other UG units, blowing them up.
drascin (17:33:20): Ashe: ...what the heck?
griefgathering (17:33:25): Cobray: "......."
tengusaur (17:33:34): Roger: "..."
VJockey (17:33:35): ".........."
Wyverncakes (17:33:37): "But it's-"
drascin (17:33:40): Ashe: I WAS there and that's not how it happened
Peter Kampschroeder (17:33:42): Jen: "...That...didn't happen..."
tengusaur (17:33:51): Roger: "This isn't real. I can promise you this didn't happen. I was there!"
VJockey (17:33:55): "This was not what happened."
drascin (17:33:56): Ashe: Unless you want to say that someone also reprogrammed MY brain, lady?
cubey@aol.pl (17:34:09): Viletta: "The SSR analysts worked hard to certify if this video is real or fake."
aldo salt (17:34:10): Dido: "Does anyone have gun-cam footage from that fight? Roger?"
cubey@aol.pl (17:34:18): Viletta: "The chances of it being fake.... were 0%."
Wyverncakes (17:34:20): "You're trying to show us this and act like it happened?!?"
VJockey (17:34:23): "And I am assuming the information we recieved about your group was false as well?"
cubey@aol.pl (17:34:31): Viletta: "Hmm?"
Peter Kampschroeder (17:34:39): Jen: "...This is weird..."
drascin (17:34:56): Ashe: ...Model A doesn't have images, but it does record unit data and stuff. Those units weren't even THERE.
tengusaur (17:35:12): Roger: "Your analysts should look at it again. This didn't happen!"
Wyverncakes (17:35:25): Selena: "Elma..."
Wyverncakes (17:35:34): "Examine the footage. Every single frame of it."
aldo salt (17:35:59): "…because here's the thing." Dido says to Viletta. "We not only have completely contradictory video footage…but we've also got the wreckage of completely foreign units that attacked the UG! Machines with alien, unconventional designs not of this world!"
tengusaur (17:36:01): Roger considers Optimus's words, as well. There might be something to it...
VJockey (17:36:22): "Blaster. I need a relay of the footage regarding the SSR."
Wyverncakes (17:36:29): Elma: "It's a very long clip, that would take time!"
Peter Kampschroeder (17:36:36): Jen: "...Yeah, it smells like a con."
cubey@aol.pl (17:36:41): The conversation is interrupted by Spidrills and Giganto Boles firing.
Wyverncakes (17:36:47): Selena: "Then get started already-"
Peter Kampschroeder (17:36:49): "With both of us as the marks...Ah, what!?"
cubey@aol.pl (17:36:50): At least before the Gesterbens cut them down.
tengusaur (17:36:56): Roger: "...Something incredibly fishy is going on here. Someone is- watch out!"
drascin (17:36:56): Ashe: Like, we can send you the unit data from that fight, right, Model A?
Model A: I guess. I don't like the idea of connecting to that nasty lady though. She's scary.
cubey@aol.pl (17:36:59): #1: "Come on, don't do this. We're having a conversation here!"
VJockey (17:37:33): "If it is what it takes. Then so be it." [As Optimus recieves the information he relays it to everyone present on the battlefield.]
cubey@aol.pl (17:38:22): #2: "What! What kind of half-assed paparazzi did you get this from?"
tengusaur (17:38:29): Roger: "This is footage from your attack on an ESUN base. What do you have to say about it?"
cubey@aol.pl (17:38:38): #2: "This did not happen. You are the ones with a fake video!"
drascin (17:38:47): Ashe: Okay, something REALLY weird is going on here!
griefgathering (17:38:57): Cobray: "That much is obvious."
aldo salt (17:38:59): "Or maybe, like Jen said, we're both being conned!" Dido says.
cubey@aol.pl (17:39:00): Viletta: "Hold on a second, Brust. If we analyze the video..."
cubey@aol.pl (17:39:10): Viletta: "It would show as genuine as well, wouldn't it?"
tengusaur (17:39:25): Roger: "Feel free to do so."
Peter Kampschroeder (17:39:33): Jen: "...Mmm, tell me what you get."
drascin (17:39:45): Ashe: Look, what do you say we stop trying to shoot each other, finish what we came to do here, and then sit down to talk about this over a mug of cocoa or something?
VJockey (17:39:45): "It would."
cubey@aol.pl (17:40:19): (Does Elma try to analyze the video received from SSR?)
Wyverncakes (17:40:32): (He has been, yes)
cubey@aol.pl (17:40:44): The frames you have looked at seem... genuine.
cubey@aol.pl (17:40:50): No alteration of any kind detected.
cubey@aol.pl (17:40:54): As far as you know, this shows reality.
Peter Kampschroeder (17:41:00): Jen, softly: "I think I've read enough comic books to know where this is going..."
Wyverncakes (17:41:03): Elma: "Selena..."
Wyverncakes (17:41:17): "It's like this footage is raw."
aldo salt (17:41:24): "I'm with Ashe on this one." Dido says. "Is there any reason we can't just walk away from each other after dealing with Albert's base?" She asks Viletta. "We clearly have stuff that needs straightening out."
cubey@aol.pl (17:42:22): Viletta: "Where did you get this from?"
VJockey (17:42:40): "The same can be asked of yourself."
cubey@aol.pl (17:42:43): She sounds suspicious. The R-Gun looks ready to grab at its guns - but does not do so yet.
griefgathering (17:43:27): Likewise, the Wildschwein is looking out for any suspicious movement.
aldo salt (17:44:00): "Where did we get that footage from?" Dido asks Selena.
VJockey (17:44:02): "All we had recieved along with this footage was an anonymously delivered piece of information describing the SSR as terrorists and that your intentions were to destabilize and overthrow the Earth Sphere United Nations."
drascin (17:44:26): Ashe: No idea, actually. The boss-men at Unity just got it from somewhere, I think? That and a note. Where did you get yours?
cubey@aol.pl (17:44:30): Viletta: "I do not know what is going on - but you are being duped. We cannot trust you unless we know who is pulling your strings."
Peter Kampschroeder (17:44:42): Jen: "...Well, the same can be said of you."
Wyverncakes (17:44:46): The Soleares seems primed to grab for its own guns the second Viletta finally makes that move.
cubey@aol.pl (17:44:48): ???: "Chimera!"
Peter Kampschroeder (17:45:00): Jen: "So let's go blow up the bad guy base, and sort it out later...hm?"
cubey@aol.pl (17:45:03): ???: "It's... ah, my apologies. It's the Chimera!"
cubey@aol.pl (17:45:13): A human is walking through the jungle.
drascin (17:45:14): Ashe: ...wha?
tengusaur (17:45:15): Roger: "The Chimera?"
tengusaur (17:45:25): Roger: "Why would they..."
aldo salt (17:45:25): "Those information brokers?" Dido blurts aloud.
cubey@aol.pl (17:45:30): Someone you probably had no contact with. But someone else did.
cubey@aol.pl (17:45:44): Walking through the jungle is a middle aged man in a suit. The Unity Group's ESUN inspector.
cubey@aol.pl (17:45:51): I am sure you have one question to ask here.
cubey@aol.pl (17:45:58): How the hell did he make it into the jungle?!
cubey@aol.pl (17:46:19): Hastily retrieved from his suitcase, he waves a paper in the air.
drascin (17:46:20): Ashe: "...okay, how did you even reach here? This whole place is a deathtrap!"
VJockey (17:46:40): "...We left a considerable trail to follow Ashe.:
VJockey (17:46:42): *"
drascin (17:46:46): Ashe is somewhere between impressed and suspicious. It'd have taken her a while without Model A to get through here...
cubey@aol.pl (17:46:54): Inspector: "The information both Unity Group and SSR received arrived from channels controlled by the Chimera."
cubey@aol.pl (17:47:02): inspector: "... I have my own ways. Regardless!"
aldo salt (17:47:20): "Um…do you need shelter, sir?" Dido asks the inspector. "I got room in my mech, and this is a spider robot infested jungle."
cubey@aol.pl (17:47:20): Inspector: "I am not sure if the Chimaera are personally involved. They are brokers of information, they do not control its accuracy."
VJockey (17:47:42): "But to send two conflicting pieces of information to two groups?"
cubey@aol.pl (17:47:45): Inspector: "But it is too much of a coincidence to not believe this all came from the same source."
tengusaur (17:48:02): Roger: "Whether it is their doing or someone else is simply using them as a tool, I'm sure we can agree on one conclusion:"
drascin (17:48:04): Ashe: Maybe they just supposed we'd all just shoot each other
cubey@aol.pl (17:48:07): Inspector: "I suggest asking the Chimera where did they get this information from. The quicker, the better."
drascin (17:48:24): mentally, Ashe thanks whatever god is listening that Leos the Gun Happy Crazy did not come today
VJockey (17:48:24): "Indeed... but we have other matters to attend to."
tengusaur (17:48:28): Roger: "Both UG and SSR were fed false information about the other party."
Peter Kampschroeder (17:48:29): Jen: "...Yeah, that'd cinch it. There's probably gonna be another attempt to spark hostilities between us, once whoever's responsible realized this failed..."
tengusaur (17:49:01): Roger: "However, one thing is still suspicious. Why is there a Balmarian among SSR ranks?"
Wyverncakes (17:49:25): Selena: "Something I'd very much like to know."
cubey@aol.pl (17:49:27): Viletta: "Why is there a Shadow Mirror among Unity Group?"
drascin (17:49:44): Ashe: A what now?
drascin (17:49:52): Seriously, does she not get the memos?
VJockey (17:49:56): "A hostile alien species Ashe."
Peter Kampschroeder (17:49:57): Jen: "A who?"
drascin (17:50:22): Ashe: No, I rmemeber the Balmarians, I meant those Mirror guys"
tengusaur (17:50:30): Roger: "Miss Recital said you are the leader of the squad that massacred her comrades."
griefgathering (17:50:35): Cobray is refraining from saying anything else here.
cubey@aol.pl (17:50:41): Viletta: "... You are wrong."
drascin (17:50:44): Ashe: Or are those ALSO aliens?
Model A: I think I'm getting a headache...
griefgathering (17:50:51): That woman just makes him feel uneasy.
cubey@aol.pl (17:50:58): Viletta: "Balmarians are using clones. I am sure you realize this by now."
cubey@aol.pl (17:51:25): Viletta: "You must have encountered one created from similar genetic material to mine."
Wyverncakes (17:51:36): Selena: "Then show me your face."
tengusaur (17:51:41): Roger doesn't say anything, but Big O turns its head towards the Soleares.
cubey@aol.pl (17:51:49): Viletta: "Very well."
tengusaur (17:51:51): The Megadeus' face looks almost questioning.
cubey@aol.pl (17:51:55): She clicks a button to show the inside of her cockpit.
cubey@aol.pl (17:52:09): http://mechaheroes.altervista.org/images/SRW%20OG/viletta.png
aldo salt (17:53:07): "Wow." Dido says, squinting. "You look like…Ingram's sister?"
Wyverncakes (17:53:20): And Selena... stares.
cubey@aol.pl (17:53:24): Viletta: "There may be a reason for that."
griefgathering (17:53:26): Cobray: "..."
Wyverncakes (17:53:41): "Elma. Transmit the masked woman's image to her for comparison."
Wyverncakes (17:53:44): "Roger."
Wyverncakes (17:53:55): (And in return, Viletta gets this: http://srwog.velv.net/char_images/spectra.png)
drascin (17:54:10): Ashe: ...look, I'm just going to sit back and make sure nothing ambushes us and you guys can explain me what's going on later, okay?
cubey@aol.pl (17:54:18): Viletta: "..."
Wyverncakes (17:54:23): "If that's not you."
cubey@aol.pl (17:54:24): Slowly, the R-Gun turns around.
aldo salt (17:55:28): "Hey," Dido points out to Selena. "Ingram had an evil twin too. Not too much of an assumption that this Viletta has one as well."
cubey@aol.pl (17:55:33): Viletta: "It's not. I said I cannot afford to turn my back on you."
cubey@aol.pl (17:55:38): Viletta: "Prove me wrong."
cubey@aol.pl (17:55:47): The R-Gun starts to float away.
Wyverncakes (17:55:51): "..."
Wyverncakes (17:56:01): Selena just lets her leave.
VJockey (17:56:14): "Selena."
drascin (17:56:20): Ashe: You should leave us some way to contact you!
cubey@aol.pl (17:56:24): One by one, the SSR units start taking steps back. Some have weapons at the ready, but they are starting to pull back.
cubey@aol.pl (17:56:29): Viletta: "You will know soon enough."
Wyverncakes (17:56:32): "... If that isn't you..." she starts again. "... Ingram's impostor didn't like him very much."
drascin (17:56:33): Ashe: We still have this whole crazy mystery to unravel, rmemeber?
Wyverncakes (17:56:47): "So you still might have someone gunning for you, senora."
cubey@aol.pl (17:56:49): #1: "Ah, right. This was supposed to be our secret reveal, right before the official one? And now this happened. What a mess."
VJockey (17:56:57): "Along with other matters."
cubey@aol.pl (17:57:22): #1: "Well then, it looks like everyone's buddy-buddy now?"
cubey@aol.pl (17:57:37): Viletta and the Inspector: "No."
Peter Kampschroeder (17:57:49): Jen: "Aw."
cubey@aol.pl (17:57:50): Viletta: "I am afraid not."
VJockey (17:57:53): "Perhaps not today. But someday."
cubey@aol.pl (17:58:09): Viletta: "Unity Group was formed as an organisation made within the ESUN. SSR works outside it."
VJockey (17:58:17): "I hope we meet on better terms."
cubey@aol.pl (17:58:36): Viletta: "Sponsored by countries who are not ESUN members. They too deserve protection - and their goals may sometimes be opposite to ESUN's."
cubey@aol.pl (17:58:43): Viletta: "We may not be enemies..."
cubey@aol.pl (17:58:55): #2: "But we're not allies either. Something like that?"
Peter Kampschroeder (17:59:11): Jen: "Acquaintances, then?"
drascin (17:59:12): Ashe: Uh, hello, non-ESUN Legion citizen here?
tengusaur (17:59:23): Roger: "The fact that we are not hostile to each other, and that the bad information about each of our organizations turned out to be lies, is good enough for me."
tengusaur (17:59:46): Roger: "Thanks for dissolving the situation, inspector."
cubey@aol.pl (17:59:57): Viletta: "I suggest comparing what good for Legion will SSR do, with what ESUN has done. Make an educated decision - once we start operating."
cubey@aol.pl (18:00:25): Viletta: "And if you find us favorable, you will know where to find us."
drascin (18:00:38): Ashe: Sorry, not my call to make. And I think Master Mikhail kinda likes being independent.
cubey@aol.pl (18:00:45): #2: "... Yes, let's ask the troublesome woman who busted our guns to join our ranks."
Wyverncakes (18:00:55): Albhard: "We'll try."
drascin (18:01:00): Ashe: You WERE trying to kill us, you know!
cubey@aol.pl (18:01:21): #2: "It's the battlefield. Can't be helped - nothing personal."
drascin (18:01:52): Ashe: Then what's a few busted guns, right?
cubey@aol.pl (18:02:01): #2: "Heh."
Peter Kampschroeder (18:02:02): Jen: "Hey, guns are expensive..."
drascin (18:02:04): check and mate, #2
cubey@aol.pl (18:02:05): The SSR leave.
cubey@aol.pl (18:02:12): All that is left is to examine the base.
cubey@aol.pl (18:02:19): And maybe give the inspector a ride home.
cubey@aol.pl (18:02:44): The base would turn out to be empty of hostiles - the SSR did a good enough job taking care of that.
cubey@aol.pl (18:02:54): However, the really important part was left untouched.
cubey@aol.pl (18:02:56): The transmitter.
cubey@aol.pl (18:03:01): It was not Albert's main base.
cubey@aol.pl (18:03:05): It was but a relay station.
drascin (18:03:44): Ashe: ...
drascin (18:03:56): Ashe: After all this trouble and there's NOTHING?!
VJockey (18:04:06): "...I suppose it would have been too convenient..."
tengusaur (18:04:34): Roger: "Do you have a way to find out where did it relay information from?"
drascin (18:04:48): Ashe: ...I suppose I can ask the guys back at HQ to try...
drascin (18:04:53): Ashe: But seriously!
cubey@aol.pl (18:04:59): MISSION SUCCESSFUL (?)
drascin (18:05:17): Ashe: A base hidden in the middle of a jungle turned a deathtrap is nothing but a relay?
drascin (18:05:31): Ashe: Did Albert just make this to laugh at us?
tengusaur (18:05:41): Roger: "...Probably."
drascin (18:05:43): (Yes. Yes he did)
griefgathering (18:05:50): Cobray sighs.
griefgathering (18:06:07): But this wasn't entirely fruitless for him, even if it was a short deployment.
drascin (18:06:27): Yeah Ashe is just going to punch a wall and leave while grumbling frustratedly
drascin (18:06:36): It's going to be a long, annoying flight home
aldo salt (18:06:57): "…a bit underwhelming." Dido says. Sparks fly from the gash in ShelLancer's side. "Dammit!" She mutters.
