Can you update me on who we have available?

>>34516355
... The team based on searching shouldn't use pilots who's faces are known to the Zekes. Frankly us and Haman should probably be on enviromental

>>34516489
Good point, are we including the Burning Team in this? Because I'd like to bring Kou along to the scrapyards. Just wouldn't be right without him there.

>>34516489
The following are pilots:
>Carya/Catrina Marseille
>Audrey April
>Haman Karn
>Rossweisse
Noncombat
>Karen Joshua
>Reiko Hollinger
>Catherine Blitzen
Support (Affiliated but not under direct command)
>Nina Purpleton
>Emary Ounce

>>34516355
Leave Carya in the hangar on stand-by in her mobile suit encase one of our groups needs bailed out in a hurry. We don't know what we'll encounter, be it a fully functional mobile suit or armor - better ready than dead.

Karen, Audrey, and Blitzen will go to the environmental controls and if we can rope Nina in, do it. Karen for muscle, Audrey for her enginseer skillset, Blitzen for data analysis, and Nina, if we can, for her clearance credentials. Speed up the process of us getting in and hopefully get in unmolested by red tape.

Rosse, Haman, and Domscartes will go murderhoboing in the scrapyards. Rosse is an idiot savant and will point out things we'll easily overlook while Haman can feel out any meatbags.

>>34516580
The crew of the Albion includes the Burning Team minus Alpha Bate (deceased) and Monsha (probably passed out in a gutter somewhere)

>>34516355

I cannot remember who this is.

>>34516676
On paper, you don't even exist. No name, no number.
>>34516596
So are we good to go with this?

>>34516580
>>34516609

I guess I'll go with this >>34516596
Though I'd add Kou and/or Keith in too, since they're new and relatively unknown.

Haman and Dom can try to go for cheap disguises that'll work in a pinch.
It's amazing how a pair of sunglasses can work as a disguise in UC.

>>34516355
>>34516596
This sounds good to me, though I'd change it from CC being in the Viola to being in Rossweisse's Kampfer. It's meant for rapid deployment inside colonies, it'll be able to respond quicker. Plus its lack of beam weapons mean there will be less chance of collateral damage. I mean, still some, since it uses a grenade rifle. But it won't accidentally detonate any fusion reactors if stray fire hits them.

>>34516735
Emary Ounce is an Anaheim technician, apparently pretty competent considering that in four years she'd be captain of La Vie En Rose if everything went according to canon. She's also kind of a fangirl for our team.

>>34516795
>Ounce
>technician

Looked her up. Bring her with us to the scrapheap. She can dig out Megas XLR for us.

>>34516795
IIRC from Dom's duel with Kou, the Kampfer and Gmdam have roughly the same speed, with the Gmdam having slightly better acceleration, or something.

>The Kämpfer was always one of your favorite machines, and this one is no slower for its various modifications: in fact, you can tell its joints have been magnet-coated. It maneuvers almost as well as the Lilium, though it feels a fair bit slower to accelerate.

Rember that Kampfer is fast, but Gmdam is still a fucking Gundam.

>>34516795
The main reason I didn't suggest the Kampfer is that Zeon and the Feds are at war. Deploying a Zeke suit would insight a riot and probable deployment of GMs to intercept. Rosse would get tied up in red tape while we're vaporized.

>>34517041
>>34517057
Good points, both of these. Okay, I'm withdrawing the Kampfer idea.

>>34516355
"Carya, I want you to stay here with the Kämpfer, no beam weapons. Be ready to sortie on a moment's notice."

Carya nods. "Gotcha. If there's trouble I'll be there quick."

"Audrey, Karen, and Catherine, you'll round out the environmental team. I wish Nina were in civil service instead of the corporate sector, but you're credentials will have to do, Karen."

Karen nods. "Makes sense."

"Rosse, Haman? You and I are heading down to the junkyards. Reiko, you can settle into the Albion's comm suite and direct traffic for us."

Your team salutes, and head to their objectives. You lead your trio of Newtypes to the linear rail station, and head down to the bottom level of the city of Von Braun. This level is one that most of the population never see, unless they work there. Repair shops perform maintenance on the vital equipment that keeps the city running and habitable. Everything from kitchen appliances to industrial oxygen scrubbers are assembled, disassembled, repaired, bought, and sold down here both on the legitimate market and the black market. Anything you want bought or repaired can be handled somewhere... all you need to know is where to look.

>>34517248

For the record, I'm referring to the three new Gundam prototypes Dom's team has as "Gmdams" since I can never remember their fucking code names properly, andi belive Gmdam is a pretty good summation for 'Gundam that looks like a GM" IMO.

I don't care if its not the official name, I'm just going to refer to it as that unofficially, because all this flower stuff really confuses me. (Also, every time I see Lilium or whatever, I think of Evangelion instead of a Gundam, to add to my confusion.)

It won't make much of a difference, as the local defense forces know that the Albion has unusual mobile suits and your Kämpfer will be identifiable as EFSF.

Plus, I was in the process of writing when you reversed your decision. Just be glad that this time the idea you went back on was actually a good one.

>>34517248

It comes down to book keepers, paper pushers, politicians, and officers. Of course it'll make a difference. We don't know if the fact that we've a Zeon mobile suit onboard has been dispatched down the grapevine. Some PDF might get antsy at seeing a mono-eye staring at them and shoot a MANPAD.

>>34517794
MANPADs are practically worthless against mobile suits, especially ones armored in Gundarium. You could take a Zaku down with one if you hit right at the cockpit hatch, but the Kampfer Kai? I doubt it.

>>34517248
"No sense overthinking it," you insist to Haman and Rosse. "We have no real idea where to start, and no firm evidence there's even anything here to be found. So let's just go to the first shop we come across and work from there."

"Your call," Haman replies. "At worst it's one less shop to investigate later."

The first shop you run across is a middling sized repair shop specializing in industrial equipment: mining drills, cranes, hydraulic winches, that sort of thing. Rossweisse immediately gravitates towards a plasma cutter, the sort of tool used aboard the Albion to cut away damaged sections of mobile suit armor.

"Might've supplied our guy," Haman mutters. "Worth a shot?"

You nod and flag down an employee. "Hey buddy," you greet jovially, "I've been looking for someone who can contract to do a little plasma cutting for a salvage venture I'm running. You know anyone in the area with the equipment?"

The old man looks you up and down, then glances at the two young ladies at your side. "They some kinea hired hep?" he asks in an accent vaguely reminiscent of the bayous down on Earth. 'Wouln' min hirin em meself."

"They're my pilot and navigator," you quickly explain, trying to deprive Haman the opportunity to snap at the old bastard. "So, the plasma cutters?"

"Yehd be lookin at a couplea places on this level. Lemme getcha some paper anna pen," he tells you, walking back to the register.

When he returns he has in his hand a list of seven places on this level of the city which have the capacity to do the sort of plasma cutting that would be required to refurbish a mobile weapon: four of which are also scrapyards. On your way out, you nearly bump into a young woman a few years older than you who seems to be in a hurry. Her nervousness catches the eyes of both Haman and Rossweisse.

"Wonder what that was about?" Haman muses.

"Unsure," Rossweisse replies, her eyes lingering on the woman with a calculating gaze.

Staggered line. The three of us spread out, but still remain in visual/comm contact with each other. When the woman makes a turn, the lead tail continues going the way he or she was traveling, circles around the block, and resumes their position at the end of the congo line. If someone is made, the other two keep tailing her while the made person stays out of sight as backup. Repeat until we arrive at our destination.

You think you can hear music in your head as you immediately realize what you have to do.

“We're stalking that woman,” you hiss at Haman and Rossweisse.

“Are you crazy?” she hisses back. “I'm pretty sure that's illegal.”

“He kidnapped you,” Rossweisse points out.

You shake your head. “Now's not the time. Besides, it turned out okay, right?”

“Fine,” Haman replies. “How do we do this?”

“I'll take point,” you respond quietly. “Haman, you're twenty feet behind me, and Rosse, you're fifteen behind that on the opposite side of the street. When she turns I'll break off and regroup with you, and Haman will take point. Hopefully that way she won't notice.”

“And how will we...”

“Phones,” you reply. “Check discreetly, send me an update if she turns again before I can regroup.”

Haman shakes her head. “Have you ever actually done this before?” she asks.

“Do you really want to know the answer to that?”

“Good point.”

The three of you silently fall into position and follow the woman, careful to act as 'normal' as is possible for you. As you walk you get a good look at her: dark skin, black hair, somewhat Hispanic in appearance.

"So, do we follow her?" Haman asks. "We have a chance to confront her now, or we can follow her in."

"Let's just follow her in, shall we?" you ask.

"Breaking and entering?" Haman taunts.

Rossweisse shakes her head. "Kidnapping."

"Why do you keep bringing that up?"

"Why do you keep forgetting it?" you counter, letting yourself into the junkyard behind the woman you've been stalking as she walks behind the main building, holding back a little to remain out of site and keeping your ears open.

"... I'm worried about you, Kelley!" you hear the woman's voice as you settle in behind a conveniently located bush with Rossweisse and Haman.

"Cut that out," you mutter as Rossweisse stares at your butt while you're trying to listen in on the conversation.

A male voice, presumably 'Kelley' responds in an aggravated tone. "This is what I have to do, Latuera. I don't ask that you understand me, only that you allow me to act only ideals."

At the word Haman and Rossweisse have to hold you back to restrain your silent rage.

"Alright, I've heard enough to interest me," you tell your teammates. "Let's go snoop around the joint, see what we can find."

Exiting the bushes with the girls in a cool, collected calm you haven't had to use since high school, you lead them out into the piles of scrap metal, looking for anything useful.

"Those are just scrap servos," Haman observes as you pass one pile.

"Engines," Rossweisse points out, eying a pile of engine blocks from electric cars and monorail trams.

Finally, you see it: a large hangar near the back of his property. It looks big enough to house damn near anything. Unfortunately you're not the only one there. You notice the newcomer too late to convincingly hide yourself.

"Who are you?" you hear the same voice. Turning, you see a large man with one arm.

"What are you looking for here? Maybe I can point you in the right direction?"

He seems calm enough, but he's suspicious of you.

"Well," Kelley replies, "here I am."

"I'm Tetra Lavaia, and these are my associates Miss Balzac and Miss Scratam. We're in salvage, and we needed someone to do some plasma cutting. One of the locals pointed us to you."

Kelley nods. "You're in the right place, Mister... Lavaia. What will you need cut?"

"Titanium alloy plating," you reply. "We're going after some old war materiel."

"I see," he replies, clearly thinking over the prospect. "I take it missing an arm is no issue with you?"

"None whatsoever," you reassure him. "Though we may need a place with a large enough space to work. That hangar looks about the right size. Is it empty?"

"It's not a concern," he replies warily. "So, we partners?"

"Sure. I'll be back a little later with data on what we're expecting."

"Thank you for your time, mister..."

"Layzner," he replies, holding out his hand to shake. "Kelley Layzner."

Across the street from Layzner's scrapyard is a cafe, where you and your team settle in. First, you call the Environmental team.

"Audrey, what's going on?"

"There seems to have been a heat spike down there alright, two days ago. It's consistent with a large reactor spinning up."

"Good news," you tell her. "We've found a likely spot. I'll keep in touch."

Next, you ring Carya.

"Hold tight," you tell her. "There may be some trouble soon enough."

"Just what I like to hear," she replies. "Ta-ta."

"Okay, so the plan is to watch for any shipments coming in or going out?" Haman asks.

You nod to her. "That's right."

Rossweisse, however, looks over your shoulder at something behind you.

Huh. Imagine that.

"I take it you're not here to take in the sights and play tourist, Miss Garahau. You want me to walk away and pretend nothing is amiss, correct?"

This isn't TOO bad. Cima's been shafted by Zeon before, and we have an ex-Zeon ace and the Daughter of the former leader of Axis in our retinue, so it's a pretty fucking clear signal that we can give Zeon amnesty and shit.

“So, Miss Garahau...”

“Cima, if you don't mind. No need for empty formalities... I get enough of that with the Admiral.”

“Cima, then,” you continue. “I'm half surprised you came without a commando team.”

“Three of the men in this room are mine,” Cima explains. To further make her point she waves at one, and he waves back awkwardly.

“Okay,” Haman replies. “So you know who we are, and you probably know why we're here. So what do you want?”

“I take it you're not down here to see the sights,” you add.

“Layzner?” Rossweisse speculates.

Cima nods with a single laugh. “Yes, Mister Layzner. Amputee, former veteran of the Principality Assault Forces. A mobile suit pilot at that, and a talented mechanic.”

“So we were right,” you muse aloud. “Layzner really was the one ordering all those parts.”

“Correct,” Cima verifies. “Well done.”

“Unsurprised,” Rossweisse says aloud.

“That's right,” Haman agrees. “You seem to be taking our progress in stride, Miss Garahau.”

“Cheeky little thing,” Cima remarks.

You shake your head. “How did you know?”

“Who do you think tipped off the mafia?” Cima asks you, almost playfully.

Cima's 35. Not near cougar age in the real world, but in the world of anime she's practically a crone. Pic related is what Ramba Ral looked like at that age. And we have pictures of him in his twenties, so we know he didn't always look like that.

Maybe it's like being the President ages you greatly, or its like playing Contra on Hard with no deaths makes you a MAN instantly?

Either way at 35, she's still got 10 years or so till she can start being called cougar.

Yeah, I'm joking. But she is substantially older than the average anime character. Doesn't make her a cougar, though. Just a mature beauty. Yeah, that's what we'll call her if it ever comes up. It's the only way to keep her from beating us to death with that fan.

"I'd like to buy you a drink some time for the tip," you tell her. "But can I assume you're here for a reason? My Newtype hotness hasn't ever attracted cougars before, so it's probably something to do with the Delaz fleet?"

Haman covers her face with her hands and groans, but Cima merely raises an eyebrow. "No. I wanted to meet you in person, to discuss some 'joint business' opportunities."

"Why go to the trouble and ruin things for Delaz, though?"

Cima shrugs. "I wanted to get a feel for you. You can only get so far looking at the official reports and files."

"Forgetting about the fact that you have my files," you press on, "what sort of business opportunities?" Haman and Rossweisse lean in expectantly.

"Do you know anything about me?" Cima asks.

"You have me at a complete disadvantage."

"Let's just say I have a grudge against the Principality," she tells you. "So I don't especially want the Delaz fleet to succeed."

"So why are you working for them?"

"Because the closer I am to the foundation, the easier it will be for me to tear it all down. So... would you mind lending me your skill in a high-stakes game of political subterfuge and military power-play?"

It's a play on words mixing the phrases "Does a bear shit in the woods" and "Is the Pope Catholic?", both of which are used sarcastically to indicate that the answer is obvious. An alternative would have been asking "Does the Pope shit in the woods?"

But we're planning to work with a mass murderer. Someone who is reputed to have killed untold millions of innocent colonists. I'd suspect he'd be incredibly fucking leery working with someone who would gas people, then turn around and send them and their homes screaming into the atmosphere.

Getting her side of the story of why she did it or did not do it is kind of fucking important for our relationship.

Well if bears are Catholic and Popes shit in the woods I think we've determined the origin of the churches misconduct involving men.

>>34523479
Do we even know that she did that?

>>34523479
Dominic doesn't know that, though. I'm not sure her being scapegoated was a public thing. More likely it was confined to the military. Gihren wasn't going to openly announce "Oh, by the way, one of our soldiers committed genocide the other day, we have NO IDEA where she got that nerve gas".

>>34523587
I'd assume we do IC that she was involved in the gassing and that there would be a sizable bounty on her head for war crimes. Which, we could turn in by the way and then retire right this instant.

"Haman, remind me. In the last few months, have we gone even a single week without something that could be described as a 'high-stakes game of political subterfuge and military power-play'?"

"Don't think so, Dom," Haman replies.

"I do have a few questions, though," you tell Cima.

The Commander nods. "Go ahead."

"What's the operation?" you ask. "What do you expect us to do?"

Cima laughs again. "Why, young man, I don't expect you to do anything. Or at least, nothing you're not already doing."

"Explain," Haman presses.

"All you need to do is continue hindering Delaz as you have been," Cima continues. "You draw his attention, allowing me to maneuver, In return, you get information."

"As a good faith token, how about you tell us what happened with the recent Anaheim leaks?" you press.

"We have constructed a version of the GP-04," she confirms. "But only the one. It's slated to be my personal unit."

"And Slattern?" Rossweisse asks.

Cima looks at her like she's grown a second head. "What, like the Kaiju? How is that relevant?"

Good, that's at least one fleet that doesn't have any intel on the Slattern modifications. Excellent.

"Then I think we have a deal," you reply, reaching your hand across the table to shake Cima's hand. She graciously returns the gesture.

"One thing..." Haman begins.

"Layzner?"

"Layzner."

"Do as you will," Cima tells you. "He's got a Val Varo in the hangar. I'm concerned my hardline approach to him has only convinced him to take drastic measures. Since you killed its intended pilot, Layzner believes he's the only one who can do the job."

Cima hands you a data disk. "This contains a full evaluation of the Val Varo's combat abilities, as well as data on my fleet."

The thing is, she honestly didn't know that was what she was doing. All she did was fire her rocket launcher at a Federation outpost. She was surprised as anyone else when it turned out the warheads were chemical and not high-explosive. That's why she's so bitter against the Delaz Fleet, because Zeon made a murderer out of her. She's a sympathetic character, in some ways. She needs to answer for her crimes, but that doesn't mean she's a monster.

>>34523750
Right, but that still doesn't necessarily equate to Dominic knowing. He's a spooky Newtype, they try to keep people like him out of the loop. And I doubt the details would have been released given that the Feds are working with her under the table.

>>34523894

The thing is a beast so engaging it in the city would be a very bad idea, lets ask Cima how she thinks we could lure Kelley to the surface.

>>34523898
>Meet up with your team, assault and secure the location
Mixed ground team and mobile suit division. If possible we take him out before he gets in the Val Varo, if not we have the suits engage him. Get the Burning Team down here, too.

>>34523898
>Meet your team, draw the Val Varo out onto the lunar surface

Or... anyone think it's possible we could just you know... shoot him? That Val Varo looks a bit mean.

>>34523898
"One more question. Can I get your number?"

Buy some beer and go confront Kelley. Sit down and discuss it man-to-man. I'd like to actually get this thing intact since we vaporized the Phallus.

Pretty sure it had better armor overall and that shield was rip shit. But it was much slower and only had access to a nuke cannon.

Wait can does that mean she built herself a nuke launcher?

I don't really understand the difference between Speed and Thrust. Like GMdom has better Speed, but the GP01 has better Thrust, so which one's faster.

Also the one I wanted to compare it against isn't there.

>Confront now

Just go and shoot him. Problem solved.

>>34524139

Speed is how fast the vehicle is.

>>34523898
>"What, like the Kaiju? How is that relevant?"
Am I the only one who finds it odd that everyone instantly pegs it as a Pacific Rim reference? I mean, I can understand why a world that actually has giant fighting robots would be enthusiastic about that movie, but I'd think at least someone would respond with "what did you just call me?".

No but I what to get the Val Varo!

>>34524225
"Speed" is ground speed, as in running, or in the Lilium's case, hovering. "Thrust" is thruster output, and "Acceleration" is straight-line acceleration. In space, the GP-01Fb is faster. On the ground, the Lilium is faster, and the Lilium is almost always more responsive.

>>34524310
Thank you for clarification.

>>34523898
Unless I've miscounted, luring the Val Varo to the surface wins.

Writing.

>>34524310
And to think the Kampfer has near similar specs.

>>34524310
So bascially in space, the GP-01 is faster than the GMdom, but is less agile?

That's pretty cool, I guess. Against beam weaponry, agility is pretty much godstat.

>>34524348
>lure it to the surface

NO, NOT AGAIN. I WANT THIS THING INTACT. The pilot is on the GROUND. Shoot the pilot! He's squishy! The val isn't!

Goddamn, I just imagined in Dom was in Gihren's Greed games.

“Now can I get your phone number?” you taunt the older women as she walks out the door.

She chuckles. “You already have it.”

Then she's gone.

“Okay, so here's how we play this. We get the team to surround the location but lay low, then we confront Layzner. Covers all our bases.”

“Seems fine,” Haman replies. “Hope we can set it up before he does anything too drastic or threatens the city.”

“So do I,” you reply, whipping your phone back out.

First, you call Audrey. “Audrey, we're facing down a Val Varo here. What do you know about them?”

After a few minutes of discussion, Audrey finally replies. “We're on our way to the Albion. Karen's bringing your suit with the hyper gatling, and my suit. It's our best option inside the city.”

“Hey,” you call the Sisters.

“Sup?” Catrina greets you.

“I need you out here. Bring your own suit, but use the grenade launcher.”

Finally, you call Reiko.

"Reiko, I need you to clear the way for our suits to get to the Layzner Repair Yards. Full press blackout, the works."

Reiko seems giddy with excitement. "AWESOME! I never get to do that! Do you want me to reroute traffic and take over the lights!? PLEASE tell me I can play with the traffic lights!"

"You can play with the lights," you tell her. "But only if you eat your vegetables."

You can hear Reiko sticking her tongue out at you through the phone before you hang up.

"Okay, everything should be in place inside ten minutes," you tell Haman and Rossweisse.

"Should we go now?" Haman asks. "If that woman was concerned about Layzner acting erratically, we might not have much time."

"We're going now," you decide. "No sense waiting when the cavalry's on the way."

"Great, let's get going," Haman replies.

As you step out the door, you turn to Haman. "Really, you'd better leave the talking to me this time."

As you walk over to the junkyard, you can see that Kelley Layzner is arguing with his girlfriend again. You approach the two of them and clear your throat.

"Mister Layzner," you start, carefully reaching one hand behind your back. "There's still one issue we left outstanding... truth be told, we know what's in your hangar."

Looking into his eyes, you can see that Layzner knows he's in trouble. He slides a little behind his girlfriend, placing her between you and himself.

That's fine by me. I want to her team up with Haman to take back Axis in the future, and give her a chance to settle the score with whoever is involved in the colony gassing.

"I knew a man once like you. Stubborn bastard. He requested that I kill him in order to ensure the Principalities ideals would die and that the noble ideals would return."

"I do not know what your goal is, I simply hope we can conclude this confrontation with minimal bloodshed and loss of life. Stand down, soldier."

>>34525070
"Look, Kelly, I get it. You've got a cause that you're dedicated to and you need to fight for it. But this isn't the place for it. Activating that machine in the middle of the city would cause pointless death and destruction. Your ideals are noble, don't do something that would stain them. Zeon has seen more than enough of that."

So does anyone know if Kelly have a canonical ace title? Because if not I'm going to assume it's the Blue Comet. And that he got the name long before Char got his, not due to any heroic actions but just because his superior officer was a nerd.

Well I mean to be honest piloting that MA has to be really hands on. He's just got to come to grips that Zeno's time has passed. We'll offer him a helping hand and get him out of this while "Muh ideals" funk.

“You know the man who was supposed to pilot the Val Varo? A man by the name of Gato. Stubborn bastard had himself a girlfriend too, and threw it all away for his own pride. Not for the ideals Zeon espoused, but for his own damn pride. And in the end it killed him.”

Layzner glares at you. "I know. Anavel was my friend. Like him I'm determined to see things through even if it kills me."

"Kelley..." the black-haired woman insists. "You don't have to go through with this! What has Delaz ever done for you!?"

"I need a purpose, Latuera," the large man replies. "During the war I could make a difference, and fighting for Delaz will let me find a purpose again. Don't deny me this."

"Even Anavel regretted it in the end," Haman adds.

Layzner shakes his head. "I don't believe you."

"She's right. He knew he threw away his livelihood, and forced me to kill him. He didn't feel like he had any alternative. Wanted to take the Gundam he stole with him."

"And so I should be any less dedicated?" Layzner retorts. "Shouldn't I be just as willing to throw it all away as Gato was? Isn't self-sacrifice part of a soldier's duty?"

To your surprise, you hear a metallic click from behind Latuera's back. The young woman's eyes widen a little in surprise, but eventually close in acceptance.

"No," you mutter, finger finding the trigger of your concealed pistol. "Not like this, Layzner. Not like this."

You have a chance that most don't, to leave this life behind and find some happiness with a woman who loves you. But if you do this, if you throw this away, you're not going to get that chance again. Make the smart decision, Kelly. Stay here, build a life for yourself, and find a way to make a difference that doesn't require you to sacrifice everything that makes you happy."

We must

We're believing in our ideals too much
>>34525635
Take the shot
When a civillian is involved we must do it

>>34525635
We have a 20% chance of the bullet bouncing off his skull if we're using 9mm.

Then again his skull is so thick, his ideals can't get out

Shoot him!

>>34525934
Certainly his chin is bulletproof. Could probably even deflect beam fire.

>>34525934

Chances are higher of no penetration if we're using hollowpoints.

Unless we're using Great Soviet Russian 9x18 Makarov. Is good for killing Space German pig.

I bet Kelley is from Armenian descent.

"Look at yourself, Kelley," you tell him. "You already lost an arm for Zeon, and did they do anything for you? No. But you've still got one good arm, don't you? You could have done anything with that arm. You could have built a life for yourself here in Von Braun, with... Laura?"

"Latuera," she corrects.

"With your girlfriend. You have it better than most of the vets who hang around here! You have a business! You have enough money to refurbish a mobile armor in your spare time! Imagine all the good that one arm could have done! And what are you doing with it? You're supporting the sore losers from the Principality? They didn't even want to use you as a PILOT! All they care about is the Val Varo you've repaired for them!"

"I still believe in the ideals of Zeon!" Layzner returns. Paying careful attention, you see that Audrey is in position to snipe with her cannon, and Carya is in position with her massive grenade launcher, ready to assault. Karen is nowhere to be seen, but you know she's here somewhere.

"You're not fighting for ZEON anymore, imbecile!" Haman shouts. "You just can't stand being normal! It's pathetic. You're wasting your life!"

Then, in one blinding movement, you draw and fire your sidearm, hitting Layzner squarely in the shoulder. His girlfriend screams in shock as Rossweisse pushes past her and pins the large man to the ground, which is easy since he has no arms to use to fight back. Haman pulls Latuera to one side as she gets hysterical.

As Carya and Karen move up towards the hangar, you give Layzner a wide berth. On the ground next to him you find not a sidearm, as you'd thought, but a detonator.

"You were going to blow the Val Varo from here," you conclude. You quickly dial Reiko aboard the Albion, and have her tell your team to stay clear of the hangar, unsure of just how many explosives are in there.

"Shit," you mutter to Haman. "This'll take some cleaning up."

>>34526098
Dominic kind of fixated on that arm, didn't he? That was a bit unkind of him.

Shit yeah.

But how bad would a failed roll on that shot be? Kill the girlfriend? Shoot Kelly in the dick?

>>34526132
Bad enough? You'd shoot his girlfriend in the dick

>>34526157
But we have more pilots than suits. If we let Haman pilot our suit, then we could use the Val. And raise all our death flags, because MA pilots never live.

Mu survived. Even if he switched to a mobile suit on more than one occasion. And still nearly died. Did pretty good for someone that got shot with an antimatter cannon, though.

>>34526177
Instead we could always teach Reiko to pilot the Val Valo if we do get it she is a back up pilot.

>>34526177
So we get Nina to pilot it somehow?

>>34526201
We'll haft to weld handholds onto the side of it. Use it as a delivery vehicle for our suits.

Thanks for running man.

Only one question from me: In this quest, how much did Shiro Amada divulge his past (specifically the colony gassing) to Karen before he "died"?

>>34526309
simple.. we forget to take the explosives out...

>>34526236
You know, I can see it. Latuera has a somewhat masculine build and face. I'd buy her being trans. I wonder what transitioning is like in the Universal Century? I imagine that they could probably do pretty advanced SRS with the biotech the have available. I mean, they have clones. Why not clone up some ovaries and a functioning uterus?

>>34526305
Oh got the beakie marines with mono-eye of the zaku can't stop grinning.

>>34526252
Nina is only allowed to pattern a Kaiju module for it. Nothing else. She'll slam the thing into the side of the Albion or something.

Which reminds me, she'll haft to tear out the cockpit and rebuild it from the ground up anyway. Kelley was modifying it so he could pilot it one-handed.

>>34526320
Not much. She'd recognize the name of his home colony.

I kinda like to belive that Karen has a love/hate thing going on with Dom, I mean on one hand, he's not Shiro. On the otherhand, he basically shoved her into a desk jockey position, while he gets to actully gets to do stuff.

Looking at a few comparisons, the VV is.. well, it's huge. We'll haft to strap it to the hull of the Albion if we take it with us.

>>34526359
No keep it as a one-hander. Use the other arm of something?
