First Note | The Ace Appears

(You here a mecha landing in the hangar and decide to investigate. You soon see a new mecha, specifically a new Desu unit in the hangar. However this Desu unit is quite different from the Claimer class units. The cockpit opens to reveal a woman in her late 20s. She jumps down with unusual grace and ease before turning to see you.)

My name is Seiren Kurokawa, pilot of the Desu Ellen. I would like to speak to the one in charge.

(Seiren is walking around the Chalice. She isn't looking for anything in particular, she is just trying to get familiar with the lay out of the Chalice. Bother?)

Yes. I am Seiren Kurokawa, pilot of the Desu Ellen. I am glad that I could meet you, Lielbely. I have heard from several people that you are in charge of the planning for the rescue operations. Now from what I heard the current plan calls for attacking the enemy from all sides as a sort of distraction while a small group goes in to recover the captives. Is this all correct or have there been changes to the plan?

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

That's right. [Bringing up the screen, she drew out a map.] The location is hypothetical at the moment, but ideally the opponent has a few prime locations to take place on, including canyons and other isolated landscapes.

The idea is to introduce the three teams from all three sides, and then to concentrate fire on the most logical approach vector.

(Seiren calculatingly looks over the map to take in as much strategical value as possible.)

I see. I feel that we should also focus simply drawing attention away from the rescue team at first. What commonly happens during a rescue operation where people are forced to attack a stronghold is that those with higher power attacks hold back in fear of hurting the captives. I assume this will more then likely happen due to the fact that the captives are very close to several of the other pilots. We should also come up with a signal to use to tell the teams that the captives are safe. Once they know this, the teams will use much more of their power and we can use this sudden surge of strength as a tactical advantage.

We can use flare guns for that. Once one is fired, we can move in. It's an age-old tactic and serves as a good signal. Especially if we're to assume there will be little radio communication.

[minorbeat]

Alright, that sounds good. We'll make sure to notify the teams of this signal before we launch just to be on the safe side. Now, as for the rescue team, do you have anyone that can fight on foot that doesn't resort to attacks that cover an area? The last thing we need is for one of the generals to arrive and overpower the rescue team or force one of the rescue team to detonate a bomb inside of the building and possibly hurting the captives.

We've got several, and with a couple of members able to punch a hole through the walls, we can make good time. The big problem is probably finding the layout of the prison first before we do this. As it stands, I've worked several teams out thus far.

[minorbeat]

Might I suggest sending Coffret with the rescue party? With the modifications she is making, Coffret should be able to pin point the location of Kurumu and then she can give Kurumu the Soul Perfume to allow her to aid the rescue team in a fight if need be. Hopefully all the captives are together and not locked up in different parts of the stronghold.

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

That's what I was thinking. Shoutarou in one, COFFRET in the other. Then we'll be able to maximize our search much quicker than just going in a pattern. And with a heavily artillery, we can break through walls and make a direct line. For that, we've got Nirvana cutting tools, designed for boarding ships and cutting through bulkheads.

[minorbeat]

This sounds good. Just one more question, I have heard that the enemy had some sort of weapon which drains generators thus making certain mecha weaker. What counter measures have been taken for this weapon?

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping to circumvent that with the power of the Super Vandread at our disposal. It also didn't seem to affect battery powered units, so we're going to keep them as the first wave of attackers.

At least with the Super Vandread, we have technology not from this era at our disposal. And it gains the powers of every unit its combined with.

(Seiren smiles ever so slightly smiles. She was glad that someone like Dita was in charge of the operation.)

You seem to have planned things out very thoroughly. I'm glad that you are leading the operation, Liebely. Place me wherever you need me. I will help any team you need me in to the best of my abilities.

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

[She can be incredibly motivated when friends are on the line.]

I'd like for the Desus to be on the front lines with the heavy assault team. I know how much damage our units can do within seconds but Desus are astoundingly good at dealing tons of damage real quick. Also, since I'm hoping to use some of our units for the gattai, we'll need to knock their pilots down fast and hard as soon as the signal is given.

(Seiren nods.)

I understand stand. Thank you for your time. I will prepare my Desu for the operation as soon as possible.

(Seiren starts to leave to get everything ready.)

2/2

[minorbeat]

(As Seiren is about to walk out the door something crosses her mind and she turns back to Dita looking a little angry.)

Liebely, who would I talk to to file a formal complaint against a pilot on the Chalice?

Re: 2/2

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

Hmm... while we don't have anyone on an official channel, it depends. Who were you planning on filing a complaint against? I might be able to help.

[minorbeat]

(Seiren's eyes narrow slightly.)

I wish to file a complaint against Kamille Bidan. He verbally attacked me mere minutes after my arrival after answering a few questions about why I am here and after I asked for information on the Adventus generals.

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

[Facepalm. Kamille...]

Consider it lodged. He's part of the Nirvana's register staff. I will let Miss Gascogne know immediately. Darn it Kamille, I told him that he was supposed to learn HUMILITY.

[Dita was not pleased.] He's so off the strike team.

[minorbeat]

(Seiren nods a little.)

Thank you Leibely. I hope that this doesn't cause any problems.

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

It's fine. I just need to make sure next time people behave in this place.
