The situation has calmed, for the moment. Radio contact between your teams suggests only moderate damage among them, with your Columbus mothership having retreated to a safe distance. Reiko, Catharine, Noel, and Miyu are directing traffic, and Reiko takes a few seconds to bring you up to speed on the strategic situation.

“Voight's squad has moved to take over the station,” she explains. “They've succeeded in establishing a perimeter. The Zeon fleet's fire has slowed, but they still have a few mobile suits they held as reserves.”

“So they have fresh troops,” Emma concludes. “While ours are exhausted.”

“Still, with us still in the fight we've got a clear advantage,” Carrina points out. “I can do this all day!”

Somehow, you get the impression that she's not bluffing.

Just a question since I cannot keep track of how many sides there are. Who is commanding the Zeon fleet?

Rolled 71 (1d100)

>>39135410
>Other?
Have anyone in the combined 2nd/3rd team in need of MS repairs fallback and get their suits fixed.

Anyone else still good to go (hopefully the Val Varo included), target Voight.

>>39135410
>>Send your Second/Third teams to help Titans fight the Zeek fleet while you deal with Voight

>>39135477
Nominally, it's Colonel Ronan Voight: Carya and Catrina's former superior officer, who sold them out to Zeon's newtype labs for political gains.

In point of fact, his junior officers are leading the fleet right now. Voight himself has led the assault on the "Six Shooter" station.

>>39135477
Ronan Voight is the overall commander of the Zeon Remnant attack force, though it looks to me that he's personally taking over the station at the moment, so I guess faceless second in commands are in charge of the enemy fleet then?

>>39135410
>Take all of your teams in to fight Voight, ignore Zeon's fleet.
Have the Titans form a defensive parameter around the Six Shooter and cover our flanks, engage only if necessary.

The rest of our MS teams, find and kill Voight. Make is fast and easy, kill the head and the body dies.

>>39135410
>Send your Second/Third teams to help Titans fight the Zeek fleet while you deal with Voight
Also, ask the Titans on our side if the station has a self-destruct button or something for the worst case scenario.

>Send your Second/Third teams to help Titans fight the Zeek fleet while you deal with Voight

>>39135531

gonna need them after Paps and his newest boytoy smashes the Karaba fleet

Just a general question with everybody. How do you think the Zeon fleet will react to Voight's death? Will they continue fighting, flee, or possible ally with us? We will have Paptimus to deal with.

>>39135629
Kamille?

Just a heads up that Marida's unit lost one hand and half a head.
Better odds than her canon counterpart's sortie in the finale, admittedly, but still.

>>39135721
>How do you think the Zeon fleet will react to Voight's death?
The usual "SIEG ZEON!" and ramming plus self-destruct most probably.

I will be writing now. Gimme a few minutes to count up.

>>39135721
My guess? Desperate attempt to fight to the death (optional suicide ramming action), the other part will flee and become space pirates.

Then Paptimus uses them to attack Karaba/Federation transport lines.

>>39135721
>How do you think the Zeon fleet will react to Voight's death?
Fight to the death as always.

>>39135721
Yes indeed, remember Scirocco Controls Gryps/Green Noah which was Kamilles home colony at the start of the show

>>39135791
Think we could use our small collection of Zeon princesses to broadcast their claim to the zeon legacy to get them to stop being suicidal?
Or is this irreversible idiocy?

>>39135769
>>39135801
Do they really believe in the ideals of Zeon? We have like 3 Zeon princesses onboard, we can probably convince them otherwise.

Although probably nothing will get to people that fanatical.

>>39135827
Yeah, agreeded.

>>39135827
Haman and Artesia already made their broadcast, and them Remnants are still with Voight. That pretty much speaks for how deep they are in.

>>39135922
We leaked the Six Shooter info so Karaba can take his base.

>>39135883
>>39135865
I would think they would reconsider once Voight is dead.

But I kinda agree that it might not work. Still, worth another try once he's dead.

>>39135805
Since Zeta never happened, I wonder what kind of Mobile Armor Pampous made for him.

>>39135827
I just pictured Artesia, Haman and Mineva dressed up in frilly outfits and singing while there's a giant space battle happening outside.

Yeah, that's enough Macross for me. Shouldn't cross the streams.

>>39135827
>>39135846
They wouldn't recognize their legitimacy. The Remnants can't acknowledge any claims to leadership of Zeon other than their own, it's part of the whole "Gundam is a metaphor for the Pacific in WW2" thing. It's the equivalent of those Japanese soldiers who refused to accept the surrender and hid out on small islands for the next forty years waiting for the day when they would strike back against the Americans.

>>39136011
>Artesia, Haman and Mineva dressed up in frilly outfits and singing while there's a giant space battle happening outside.
This!

>>39136011
Yeah, Lacus Clyne showed us what happens when you try to do Macross-style idols in Gundam. It only ends in tears.

>>39136011
Oh yeah, I should watch that. Is Macross any good?

>>39136018
Thanks for helping me understand. I just hope they don't do the SIEG ZEON option, could be rather destructive.

Or we can use our Newtype powers to cheat. Dunno.

>>39136046
A pink, idol-decaled Zaku would be a surefire method to demoralize or invoke rage among the Zeeks though.

>>39135777
“Emma, Marida,” you order in a low growl, “lead what's left of Titans towards the Zeek fleet. Keep casualties as low as possible, and wait for my signal. We're taking on Voight.”

Emma raises her weapon, and carefully tests her machine's range of movement and calibration. “Right. Catharine, please relay my orders. Have the remaining Titans MS fall in on us.”

“Good luck, you guys,” Ilia offers.

You can practically feel Marida shrug it off. “Not like they need it.”

“Let's get moving,” Carrina presses, taking off in an early lead.

“You gonna be okay with this?” Rosse asks.

“Of course. I've got this.”

You're sure that Carrina's got the skill to face any opponent... if she can keep a clear head. But right now you're not entirely sure her mind is in the right place. She's angry, of course: no amount of time is enough to make what Voight did to Carya and Catrina okay, and their anger is completely justifiable. But at the same time, you're not entirely convinced they're comfortable with their own thoughts on the matter. When it comes time, there's a chance that Carrina may hesitate, questioning her own motivations. There's an equal chance she'll grow reckless with the target of her vengeance in sight after all these years, and with free reign to take it for herself.

i sincerely doubt Scirocco will be beaten so easily, and even if he looses Gryps he certainly bring both Kamille ant wathever other Newtypes on Gryps with him on the Jupitris.
i am also willing to bet Kamille wont be happy over his home being invaded by the Feds espesialy since Scirocco will have convinsed him that he is a "nice" Titan unlike Bask and any of the Titans whom Kamille probably has experience with like in canon.
Bonus points if Kamilles parents are "tragicaly" killed in the attack

Scirocco will still have the Jupitris, no matter whether he wins or looses at Gryps.

And he might even go after those Jormungand cannons, especially now since they're out there for grabs while Voight is too busy here.

You have Haman key a private comm to Carrina's cockpit, and try to sound and 'feel' as reassuring as possible. “This is your fight, Carrina. We'll have your back.”

“...thanks,” she replies simply, driving on towards the station.

“Reiko, put me in touch with the highest-ranking Titans officer,” you continue, after having Haman quickly switch comms for you.

“Commander Burton, what do you need Captain?” the officer who blew Bask Om's brains out replies on your HUD.

“Does the station have a self-destruct we should worry about?” you ask him.

The Titans officer seems incredulous at the fact that you'd even ask that question. “It's a nuclear facility,” he reminds you. “They've got a lot of self-destruct systems, in ten, twenty, and fifty megaton flavors.”

You smack the top of your helmet in frustration. “Shit, that sounds like something Voight would do.”

Audrey is quick to agree. “We've got to deal with that at some point, preferably before it's a problem.”

As you near the station its point defense system picks you up, sending tracers darting through space. You also spot several banks of missiles, no doubt also wire-guided.

im picturing Scirocco inviting Kamille to his Enginering bay/Garage(wathever its called on a ship) and asking Kamille to look trough some of his designs and tell him what he thinks of them. Kamille would have a slight nerdgasm and go full autist on paps designs. Scirocce would the try to furthe test kamilles mind by letting him work on some unfinished designs. He would then smile while he watched the gears turn in kamilles head and he goes full autist on them.
i can see them working together to create a fiting MS for kamille and when they are finished Scirocco would say how proud he is of kamille and his growth, and kamille would eat it all up, being happy to gain his mentors approval

Alright, seems like charging is the winner. Since anons suggested some smart ideas for how to do this well, the dc is 7 to not get hit at all. Failure means superficial damage. Crit fail means severe damage.

Auf Wiedersehen Dominic?

>>39136985
“Split up!” you order. “Keep moving, don't get hit!”

Unfortunately it takes mere moments from when you gave that order for you to get yourself hit, and rather badly at that.

A missile, whether guided by fate or by superb skill, manages to slip past Haman's funnels. You fire your e-pac machine cannon at it, only to have the mechanism jam up before you get the chance to hit the missile. You jink at the last second to avoid it, Haman shouting something unintelligible at you. But neither your last minute maneuver nor whatever Haman's advice was spare you the brunt of the missile's impact.

“An e-pac warhead!” you shout as the blast from the missile shreds your suit's left arm, which has been tucked in for flight mode. If you were in the air right now you'd be crashing, likely with no survivors. But instead the blast sends you spiraling towards the station, which spins madly on your display as you careen through space. The flashes of tracers spin and blur all around you in a dizzying lightshow.

With a hard burn from the appropriate thruster gimbals you manage to save it. “Haman! Damage report!” you bark, too focused on nursing the damaged Lilium through a hail of incoming fire to check the numerous warning lights and prompts flashing across your screen. You know it's bad, damn it! So just get this shit out of the way already!

“The left arm is gone, Dom!” Haman tells you, concern obvious in her voice. “We also lost one of the hyper rifles from its hard point!”

“And the reactor?”

>>39137377
“Stable, thank God. Cooling system reads amber, all other systems green!”

That's about how it felt to you. Could be worse, you suppose.

>Take out as many of the point defense emplacements as you can. It'll chew through ammo, and time, but a “dead zone” in their defenses will give you some breathing room and a chance for reinforcements.
Still in favor of combining though. Since we're down to one arm, better just use it for the beam shield and have the sub-arms bear the weapon load.

>Could be worse
Don't say that!

Clearly, it'll go down to a one-on-one sword duel on foot in the inner bowels of the superweapon as it collapses all around us.

>Take out as many of the point defense emplacements as you can. It'll chew through ammo, and time, but a “dead zone” in their defenses will give you some breathing room and a chance for reinforcements.

“Audrey, I need a hand over here,” you call out to your partner across the psychoframe's comm systems.

You hear a sigh. “God... DAMN it, Dom.”

“Can't help it.”

You feel a gentle thud as you and Audrey maneuver yourselves into position and dock, your respective machines' limbs shifting into position. You feel a little uncomfortable with only one big gun at your disposal, but that's what you have to work with now. You'll manage.

“We're doing the same,” Rosse reports as they move to join you.

You make a snap decision: against the station's point defenses, it's best to give yourselves some breathing room. That way you can cut the amount of incoming fire and open up a corridor for your other two teams to move in if you need them.

“Everyone, blast the weapons emplacements!”

“You got it, skipper!” Carrina replies, opening up with her beam machine gun, cannons, and vulcans at full-bore.

>>39137938
>Please don't critfail again.
That wouldn't be a problem if this new dice system wasn't absolutely retarded with DC's

The fact you need TWO successes to succeed means the dificulty for highter DC's increases exponentially.

>>39138048
Agreed. A 7 is a difficult dc and shouldn't be taken lightly.

But if the dice keeps screwing us, we can just change die systems again. I kinda miss the old 1d100, why did we change again? Turning too many enemy women?

>>39138048
2 successes out of three rolls isn't that hard, and you have three chances at it with the best being taken. So far you've rarely failed, and this is the first crit fail. It's absolutely no worse than a d100 best of three. In fact, I've noticed on my end that the results are far less swingy this way.

That's where I stand on the subject. If someone can produce empirical evidence that the 3d10 system is somehow unfair or inconsistent I'd consider the point.

>>39138357
Ok, I'm good. I guess a little rattled by the crit fail

>>39138357
I don't think it's that bad. When combined with how tg's dice system acts on the other hand.

Rolled 63 (1d100)

>>39138116
The d100 was too powerful. With it, Dominic could have destroyed all opposition and conquered the Solar system, creating an empire of Love, Peace and Understanding through overwhelming firepower pointed at all the war-loving, power hungry idiots.

Now it has been sealed away, to be used only at the direst, most crucial occasions.

>>39138405
It IS screwy because of the time-based seeds. This is known. If anything I feel that this system is unusually forgiving with regards to crits. To have none of the first three even making a regular fail is rarer than a crit success, by far. That's just how things are weighted.

>update in a minute or two.

>>39138480
That was kind of my point. If you fail with one odds are you will fail with all of them due to how the system works. Of course on the other hand we rarely fail because of how it is screwy.

>>39137938
You throw what weapons you have into the barrage as well, firing your remaining rifle at any visible missile pods while Audrey spots gun emplacements for Haman to blast with her beam funnels. This time, you manage to intercept the incoming defensive fire with your remaining beam shield. It slows you down a little, naturally: you're not used to having to defend and shoot with the same arm, but thankfully the beam shield is so much lighter than a standard physical shield it's far easier to accomplish.

Together with Carrina and Rosse you make short work of the local defenses, creating a small pocket near the station itself where none of its defenses cover. This should allow you to maneuver with relative impunity until Voight decides to come after you.

“That takes care of that,” Carrina muses. “Now, where is that coward?”

Your sensors show that the machines of Voight's squad are on the far side of the station at the moment, but whether they're inside a hangar or waiting outside the hull is unclear. They may be waiting to ambush you, or they could be escorting an assault force of marines. There's just no way to tell from here.

>Suggest you move to that area and attack from the outside?
>Suggest moving through the station somehow?
>Suggest you attack the nuclear storeroom from outside, to draw a response from Voight?
>Let Carrina decide instead.
>Other?

>>39138580
>Suggest you move to that area and attack from the outside?

>>39138526
See, that's not quite right. It's three rolls on the same seed, which are sufficiently random. If we had a high frequency of single-die rolls using the same seeds, that's where there's an issue with the 4chan dice.

This time I'm pretty sure you just got REALLY unlucky. Which happens.

>>39138580
>Suggest moving through the station somehow?

>>39138580
>Suggest you attack the nuclear storeroom from outside, to draw a response from Voight?
Dual purpose too. One, anyone sane enough would have second thoughts about personally securing a possibly compromised radioactive container, and the other being that it'll hopefully render the nukes unusable to ANY side if we get a lucky hit.

>>39138580
>>Suggest moving through the station somehow?

>>39138580
>Suggest you attack the nuclear storeroom from outside, to draw a response from Voight?
Nukes require precise explosions and have plenty of failsafes. We should be fine, and disable them.

>>39138580
>>Suggest you attack the nuclear storeroom from outside, to draw a response from Voight?

>>39138749
We're in self contained MSs in space, radiation should not be a concern

>>39138866
I meant Voight's marines would have second thoughts.

Okay, writing.

>>39138580
“They'll be landing marines,” you observe.

Carrina quickly follows your logic. “To secure the nukes and the weapon systems themselves. Right.”

“You wanna really fuck with them?”

You know the answer almost before you hear it. “Definitely. Any thoughts?”

“They expect us to come around past the defense guns,” Haman muses aloud. “They'll be waiting to ambush us.”

“So that's why we go through,” you emphasize, patting Haman on her shoulders, “and beat them to it. Here goes nothing!”

As you line up your hyper rifle on the station's turning mass, you count off the seconds until the point where Voight's troops must have entered is directly opposite you...

>>39139132

>>39138357
2 successes out of 3 on dc7 rolls is much harder than a flat dc7 roll.

The difficulty ramps up on a curve. On dc's below 5, dc's become much easier, and on dc above 5, they become much harder. The problem is that we're almost never given DC's below 5, so it's just a flat out difficulty increase.

I guess the queen of /tg/ dice smiles down on us.

>>39139132
Your rifle shot rips through bulkhead after bulkhead, gutting a whole section of the station and leaving a clear path most of the way to Voight's team. It also manages to blast through the heavily armored ammo lockers and the nuclear stockpile, essentially ruining the station's usefulness to Voight and his flunkies. If the man notices that fact, he's certainly not showing it from what you can feel from here.

“He's mine...” Carrina growls as she throttles her machine up and dashes towards the hole you've made.

Audrey, however, seems concerned that you may have hit something else by accident with that blast. “Heat bloom from a secondary explosion detected! You've damaged their attitude control system! Rate of rotation is increasing!”

“Confirmed!” Rosse shouts as you and Carrina push your thrusters to maintain station keeping with the blind spot you created in the station's defenses. “Detecting massive power fluctuations!”

“At this rate the station's gonna rip itself apart!” Haman determines.

That complicates things. Flying straight through may be difficult, but flying around may open you to counterattack. Risk getting shot, or risk getting crushed as the station rends itself into pieces from its out of control rotational forces.

>>39139534
We just caused the destruction of the station with one shot? Damn, that is not structurally sound, no matter how powerful our rifle. I hope it can be evacuated in time. Casualties are acceptable, but I didn't want every last person to die. Especially after the Titans forces here decided to be reasonable. That would just be mean.

This.

Another random thought, but once we hear about Kamille, everyone is going to mistake him for another female newtype to seduce. And it will greatly enrage him.

>>39139762
Sigh, so much gundam to watch, so little time.

>>39139797
We ran into him a while ago, actually. Though I wonder if Dom remember him.

>>39139844
Is he with the not-AUEG. Or did we meet him somewhere else?

>>39139825
And we're not even getting to the side materials (manga, games, novels etc.) that were featured in this quest.

On the bright side, it did get me started on reading a couple of them just to get a handle on certain characters in this quest (Audrey, Miyu and Noel, primarily). So thanks for that King!

>>39139868
>not-AUEG
Karaba?

>>39139868
Somewhere else. It was when we were joining the Titans and were at one of their bases for evaluation. He was hanging around waiting for his dad, we didn't interact with him much but what we did would give him a positive impression of us (defending "Kamille" as not being a girly name, letting him try out the simulators and show his stuff). I'm hoping that this will be helpful if we do wind up fighting him. Ideally we won't have to at all, though, because he was smart enough to stay away from Scirocco.

>>39139868
Back when we joined the Titans, we ran into him while being evaluated. He was messing around some base where his dad worked, and he was arguing with Jerid, from what I remember. Guess some things never change.

Don't know what happened to him since then.

>>39139868
Just when the Titans started recruiting, though Kamille wasn't there as a candidate. Just happened to be around.

No worries about mistaking him for a girl though, Jerid already fired the first shot on that end.

>>39139923
Mind posting their names and order?
I find it hard to keep up as it is.

>>39139978
Yes I as well.

>>39139844

Also, Dominic would know the difference between a guy and a girl at this point. And Kamille's current status isn't known.

Ah, so that's what he wanted. Apologies.

If any more on the list aren't recognizable I'll provide. Also, I forgot to add Serein Experi, from Monoeye Gundams to that list. She's not currently on your combat roster, as she's not a fan of fighting.

Yup, though I do hope we find the dirt on Operation stardust somewhere. Kinda sad we didn't manage to try the shmuck bait on Riddick.

Yeah, shame.

>>39140263
I guess the next best thing is to stain him and Jammys in the history books to prevent future generations of Titan wannabes from turning them into "martyrs."

I feel sad for them though. They never got to pull off their inner fantasy of a Palpatine style reveal that the Six Shooter is actually 100% operational

>>39140344
I expect Voight to call us up any moment and yell how it was already operational, but we ruined it.

And how it was a weapon to surpass the Big Zam.

>>39139534
“Send the funnels around!” Carrina orders Rossweisse. “I'll focus on getting us through the station in once piece.”

“Roger.”

You nod appreciatively. “Haman. Please do the same, but from the other axis.”

“Got it, Dom. Missiles too?”

“Hold off on that until we engage,” you suggest. “Put them off guard, draw their attention towards us.”

Haman fires off her funnels from their racks, and sends a series of psycho-missiles out on a wide track around the edge of the station. Your HUD shows that she's being careful to loop them around behind where you see Voight's forces.

“Hold on tight!” Audrey shouts as you push your throttle hard to get out ahead of Carrina.

The inside of the station is a mess. Severed wires send fountains of sparks shooting through the void as the molten edges of the hole you put in each bulkhead glow gently. The corridor lighting has gone off, with the emergency lights casting a deep, red glow as you glide past filing cabinets, plumbing, and the odd corpse here and there of some of the few Titans crew too fanatical or unlucky to have already escaped.

“Engaging funnels,” Rosse announces. “Damn these things are quick!”

“Closing in on targets!” Audrey reports. “Dom, you can fire whenever!”

Carrina seems eager to see you shoot. “No idea how long this place'll hold out, so go for it!”

As you and your team burst through the far side of the station, you're greeted by a series of powerful beam cannon shots.

“Shit!” Carrina cries out. “Move! Fucking MOVE!”

You slam sideways as Carrina jinks to the other side, blasting the rest of the way out on her own using the last of her psycho-missiles. Mere seconds after escaping the decaying station behind you, the whole thing starts to come apart. Metal buckles and shreds itself silently under the strain of its own rotation, the kick motors lining the main habitation and service ring sending large chunks of the superstructure tumbling into each other. With no air or gravity to halt or even slow the progress of the ablation, the event cascades out of control until the station is no more than a tumbling, chaotic debris field.

“There!” you call out as the strange, new machine moves to attack Carrina's suit. She unloads on it with her beam gun, only to find it protected by an I-Field. That's odd... its reactors shouldn't be powerful enough to fire all those beam weapons AND hold up an I-Field... unless...

Carrina notices it too. Before the Kämpfers escorting Voight's personal suit scatter into the debris field that used to be Six Shooter, one of them launches a small object towards him. It engages with a port on his backpack.

“So how do you like the power of my Doven Wolf?” Voight jeers you over the comms. “Are you feeling helpless in the face of such power?”

“You're bluffing, you imbecile!” Haman retorts as you push your Lilium back behind a large enough chunk of steel to absorb most of the cannon's blast.

Carrina laughs. “Good thinking, you bastard! Those Kämpfers are restocking your M-Particles!”

“But all the M-Particles in the world won't be enough. I've come for your head, Voight!”

Carrina distracts him.

Team one, split up suits and give him more targets. Carrina distracts him with evasive maneuvers. Everyone else take down the Kampfers faster. Use funnels to take down the Kampfers faster if we can.

>>39140994
>Track down the Kämpfers. Destroy them, and Voight will run out of steam in short order
Hmm. Given how the recharging works, it sounds like they might be some sort of E-Cap funnel, I can't see how else they could dock to his recharge ports so smoothly. So instead of using his Newtypes to control funnels normally, he's having them use their abilities to resupply him so he can boost his suit. A suit which itself has INCOMs. Seems like a waste. The only real reason I can see to do things this way is so that Voight can be the one to make the kills, it's pure vanity. What a dick.

I've been considering something LIKE this for a while, making Voight's machine a glass cannon scraped together from available tech.

I also enjoyed the idea in Try that a single suit could match or exceed the output of an entire team for very short periods of time. It's just it was handled poorly.

Try to smash the docking ports for his M-particle tanks.

“We'll handle the Kämpfers,” you tell Carrina. “So fight to your heart's desire.”

“Roger that,” she replies happily, launching herself and her machine headlong at Voight's Doven Wolf.

While you hang back, you watch the two fighters square off. Carrina leads in with a beam saber in close quarters, never giving her opponent time to line up a cannon shot while making sure to get inside the radius of his defenses. Doesn't stop him from taking a few shots to try and give himself openings to disengage, and for her part Carrina can't get behind him well enough to take out the power transfer system on his back.

“Wide open!” Rosse declares as she fires her heat wires. Unfortunately it seems Voight has prepared a counter for that as well, with two wire-guided claws that he tries to use to cut the wires.

Voight laughs like a madman. “This is the half-control system! It's based on Catrina's combat data from the labs! How do you like fighting yourself, you bitch!?”

“I hate it!” Carrina shoots back, cutting one of the claws away from its mounting as Rosse grabs hold of one of his beam sabers with her magnetic wires. “Everything you do pisses me off!”

“A traitor like you has no right to speak to me!” Voight screams back. “Was your faith in your own ideals so weak!?”

Another series of blasts from the mega beam cannons all over the Doven Wolf's body presumably tax its systems again, requiring a Kämpfer to reveal itself long enough to launch a power pack at Voight.

“GOTCHA!” Haman roars in triumph as her remaining funnels destroy the pack before it can reach Voight as a powerful blue blast from your hyper rifle incinerates the Kämpfer's cover as well as the machine itself in the same instant.

This could be a setback... with all the fissile material and M-Particles floating around here even your own sensors aren't the most reliable. Must be playing hell with all the conventional sensors around here, too.

Not content to wait until Voight can top off before firing your next shot, you carefully observe the way he's moving, as well as the tumbling debris. Then you see it: he's heading towards a large chunk of steel some 700 meters ahead of you both. That's got to be his next recovery point.

“NO YOU DON'T, FUCKER!” you shout, hitting the firing stud for your hyper rifle and feeling the slight recoil rock your cockpit. The blue blast punches through the cover, incinerating another Kämpfer behind it.

Voight is starting to panic a little as he parries a shot from Carrina and a tumbling, spinning beam saber at the end of one of Rosse's heat wire.

“Martinez! I need a refuel!” he barks over the open comm. After a moment's hesitation another Kämpfer pilot shows himself, launching a cluster of energy packs at Voight's Doven Wolf.

“Crap!” Haman shouts as she and Rosse's funnels try to shoot down all the packs as they dart towards Voight. But even as you drop the third Kämpfer, one of the energy packs connects with its target.

Voight laughs again, a high, cruel sound as he fires off several of his mega particle cannons. One of the Sericea's legs is blown off at the ankle, and one of the Viola's AMBAC binders is badly damaged as Carrina struggles to dodge the massive number of blasts. “I won't lose to such a half-hearted soldier as you! This battle, you lose!”

“Bullshit!” Carrina shouts back at her former commander as she parries a beam saber lunge. “If you can't let go of the past, then die... but don't drag anyone else down with you! That I can't allow!”

You're not sure, but something seems to be happening with Carrina and Rossweisse's mobile suit... more force fills the swings of their swords, and their reactions seem faster. You could even swear their newtype presence is growing even more powerful.

"I can't lose!" Voight shouts. "My subordinates have given everything for this! They've given their LIVES for this!"

"If you think more pointless death will bring them honor," Carrina growls, "we have nothing more to discuss."

Carrina and Rosse push their machine forward, beam saber ignited and far larger than usual as Voight fires all of his mega particle guns. The last Kämpfer bolts from cover only to be shredded by dozens of shots from the various remote weapons in the area, and from Audrey's combination rifle. It's quickly overwhelmed by the sheer rate of fire as Voight and Carrina's weapons collide, never getting a chance to serve its purpose.

An oversized beam shield seems to have held off most of the blasts from the Doven Wolf, while Carrina strains to hold her ground. As she pushes her remaining thrusters to the redline Voight increases the power output to his cannons, requiring him to fire his thrusters just to hold his mobile suit in place.

You want to help them.

More than anything, you wish you were at their side, fighting their enemies with them and helping put their troubled past to rest. Whether it's vengeance for what was done to them, or atonement for their own part in the war is irrelevant. Perhaps in response to that desire, you like feel the Lilium and the Viola are trying to help you.

You feel your hands against Carya's, even from here, as they grasp her control sticks. You feel a moment of surprise as her stalemate against Voight continues unbroken, before it seems they accept that it doesn't matter whether this is real or not. Least, not in the physical sense. You stand with them in spirit, and they can feel your presence with them in their moment of triumph.

“See you in hell, Ronan,” Carrina mutters as the two you push the sticks forward together to unbelievable effect.

The beam saber burns itself out entirely, destroying its inner workings, but the job is done: a massive beam of contained mega particles overwhelms the strength of Voight's cannons as his reserve of M-Particles wains, and incinerates most of his Doven Wolf in a single thrust.

There's not even enough of it left to cause an explosion: just a pair of mechanical legs.

our allies might get the General Revil instead

I'm disappointed we didn't manage to keep six shooter intact enough to blow Axis out of space since it looks like it's going to be used as a mobile fortress/colony drop by Mars.

Dude, the Teetans created the fucking Baund Doc, I think the higher ups are clinically retarded.

>>39143620
This, it was my roll though...

>>39143589
Not really. I was hoping for the Gwadan actually.
Gwadan Vs General Revil would be epic.

Also somewhat disappointed in the Republic's lack of vision.

>>39143620
We crit a bit too much at once.

I'm disappointed too.

Can't fucking wait.

If it's not too much, how close are the frames to completion? I hope they are getting very close.

>>39143620
wasnt Axis crashed into mars to speed up the terraforming or am i remembering it wrong

>>39143677
You're misremembering. Mars' moons were crashed into it.
