Talking to the DC

[srwuga_mods]

People of the White Chalice. This is Dr. Bian Zoldark of the Divine Crusaders. I have a few things I'd like to explain to you.

First and foremost, we did attack you this day with the intention of capturing a dangerous alien artifact - your warship, which you call the White Chalice. At the same time, we came across a task force from our enemies, Adventus, who were seeking to destroy it. After the initial confusion, though, two things became apparent - you fight like demons, and you made a good faith effort to talk things out with my men first. They followed orders, and you reacted accordingly, but the fact remains that I now think we can work together, especially since we have a common enemy - one who managed to tear the hell out of my best work and still escape easily, at that.

I'll be coming aboard to speak to your...ship's...artificial intelligence and its captain. I'll be happy to answer any questions about the DC or Adventus, as well. Just don't try anything rash, or Dr. Shirakawa and my friends on the Macht will be happy to start things up again.

[Final boss of SRW2, in your base talking to your dudes. This post is open for replies, not a cutscene. Also, as a reminder, this is a mission where you can make action posts backdated to during it if you wish. We won't be putting up a big log as we did for Broken Wings, but if you wish to make your own post fighting DC or Adventus troops, see the debrief here.]

... The White Chalice is an alien warship?!?

[srwuga_mods]

Where did you think a ship as bizarre as this came from? Anaheim Electronics?

[azure-savior.livejournal.com]

Well not necessarily Anaheim... but there's plenty of unusual things made in this world anyways... and some alien tech I've seen is a lot more grounded than, say, the Getters or GN technology.

Bian...Zoldark.

[Ichitaka is still in awe at the moment but is somehow able to compose himself properly. He may be a kid but he was still going to try to talk to the man properly.]

Doctor have you heard of a organization by the name of GreAT

[srwuga_mods]

Hm...I think they tried to kidnap me once.

[thestrayhawk.livejournal.com]

R-really?

[cook-not-pilot.livejournal.com]

...alien warship?! And no one told us this?!

[srwuga_mods]

N-now, I'm not sure it was intended as a warship...or really much of anything before Captain Smith found me...

[howling-alone.livejournal.com]

D-Dr. Zoldark...

[Alexei makes himself well presented. His best suit, his best pins, fully decorated and standing at full attention infront of Bian.]

Rank 30, Alexei Soras. It's an honor, to be sure...

[srwuga_mods]

Soras.

[He waves his hand to dismiss the salute.]

You did the right thing out there. You also cost me an Albatross, but you did the right thing.

[howling-alone.livejournal.com]

My apologies, Dr. Zoldark. I did not mean what I said on the field, only due to extraneous circumstances did I act out of line...

[He puts his hand down.]

Surely the contract between the League and the Divine Crusaders is not in jeopardy because of my actions?

[2hell-weride.livejournal.com]

Hey... Old Dude...

Can we have a Cosmolion?

[srwuga_mods]

...

Ha! Sure, why not, kid.

[zetahatsudo.livejournal.com]

Doctor Zoldark...

[Here comes a kid with blue hair and quite a bit of attitude for the big man.]

Moments ago, Doctor Shirakawa tore into one of our units, a Prominence Armor prototype. The spare parts we were supplied by Herrera Futuristics were useless, part of a setup by the new CEO to try an erase all ties the pilot, an Irgelion by the name of Julia Henderson. [Gulping a bit, he didn't really think this through, his emotions are being worn on a sleeve right now.] Right now, she's trying desperately to pilot anything else only to fail miserably. Because of what happened she's unable to fight!

[And now something interesting happens: He falls to his and bows before the man, head to the floor, the following being said with much passion and lots of tears.]

PLEASE! I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH MONEY YOU NEED OR WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME! PLEASE HELP ME REPAIR THE CORONA! I'LL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES, BUT I DON'T WANT TO SEE SOMEONE SUFFER BECAUSE OF THEIR GENETICS OR BECAUSE OF THIS FIGHTING! NO ONE SHOULD HAVE THAT DREAM TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM! SO PLEASE!

...you about done?

[bottleofgundam.livejournal.com]

For what it's worth, I would have been just as happy to avoid that battle all together. Despite what they would have you think, my fight has never been with the Federation.

[srwuga_mods]

You were the man in the Crossbone Vanguard Gundam, I'm guessing? I was around Jupiter until a few months ago, so trust me, I know who you people are really fighting.

[cosmo-nova.livejournal.com]

Why the hell are you and Shu allies? What does he gain from your little team-up?

[srwuga_mods]

Dr. Shirakawa is a member of the Divine Crusaders, mostly as a consultant on advanced technology. I understand he's made a few enemies, and you're free to deal with that on your own times. Right now, though, we're talking, not fighting.

[emorangerblack.livejournal.com]

Alliances of convenience last only as long as parties included think they can use each other for personal gain.

Bian Zoldark. You do not need more puppets to play with.

[srwuga_mods]

Well, our other option is "fight to the death and whoever wins stops Adventus". Does that sound more practical to you?

[mydutyisnotover.livejournal.com]

New allies are always welcome, but do we have any guarantee you won't try to capture White Chalice again after Adventus is dealt with?

[srwuga_mods]

No.

[Even PRIME shows respect to this man, the charismatic leader of one of the League's biggest contracts.]

Welcome onboard, sir. COLLARED Rank 31, Specimen PRIME, here to escort you.

[srwuga_mods]

Tch. Did the White Chalice recruit an entire Cradle defense force?
