Super Robot Wars Unlimited Generation @lpha

[X-1 wasn't super damaged, but from the look on Kincaid's face, things on the last mission had not gone well.]

Dammit, it was like he was toying with us! I hope we run into him again. I'll be ready next time.

[To the Crossbone Vanguard.]

I think we need to double check our security. Has anyone gotten access on our files about the strengths of the Vanguard, on personnel files, or anything like that? This League business is making me more and more nervous.

[Oh hey, look who's back! Throughout the day, Haruka's going to be making some trips here and there, moving her stuff from her apartment back to the Chalice. All the while, she seems to be in a great mood. Every now and then, she'll just look up to Imber or her key and smile.]

[1. Action - locked to those on the mission and anyone joining Luger's scavenge fest]

[Alexei, prior to heading back into the Chalice, actually lands on the ground. He's disembarked the Wahrheit, moving up to the corpse of Arisawa Takafumi and his final resting place inside of the Rai-Den. He seems to be tearing up... What's wrong, exactly?]

[2. Video]

[Oh goodie, the League has popped up on all the screens again.]

This is the League of Ruling Corporations.

We have just received word of the success on Arms Fort Great Wall. We congratulate you, White Chalice, on a job well done. As part of our agreement, a League care package will be sent within the next 2-3 business days to the White Chalice. In addition, a sum of League credits will be given to the Chalice as par the agreements.

Alexei, we have noticed your combat data on the last mission. Your actions ended one of the strongest allies that GA has to offer at this time: Arisawa Industries. For your actions, we permit you the use of the OIGAMI Grenade Launcher, as well, the Rank of 16.

PRIME, your combat data shows that you initially lead the team into the Great Wall. While you did take a brunt of the damage and have effectively disabled the Reinheit, you did take out the Great Wall. For your actions, we're repairing the Reinheit at no cost for parts, as well, the Rank of 15.

Congratulations on the success. We hope to work with you again soon.

[The video cuts out...]

[3. Action - locked to PRIME.]

[Alexei and PRIME are once again scheming... though it seems a bit more tense than last time.]

Information is key... what have we learned...?

[1. Action]

[Anyone that really gives a damn would have noticed by now: Alexei has been missing for nearly a month. While he's normally out and about getting into other people's business, he's been nowhere to be seen. However, the Wahrheit is here. He couldn't have left, could he? Anyone in the hangar would finally get the answer though...

The cockpit of the Wahrheit opens, the hatch slowly descending as a purplish liquid flows from the bay doors. As it empties out, one would see the visage of Alexei, stepping out of the Wahrheit's cockpit, drenched in that liquid. He stands proud, looking around at everything... then suddenly stumbling and falling out of the cockpit, dropping to the floor with a heavy thud. Despite the drop, Alexei stirs, placing a hand on the floor and pushing himself up. Lend some assistance?]

[2. Action]

[After spending a month in the Wahrheit, Alexei is spending a majority of the day inside of the kitchen, eating his fill. Though he's hungry as hell, he's still eating with dignity, pacing himself and eating delicately. To anyone that sits down with him, he'd start the conversation before anyone else did.]

What has happened since I entered the Wahrheit...?

emorangerblack.livejournal.com

[A small object suddenly emerges from behind the horizon and blazes through the sky, followed by a comet-like trail. It crashes aboard the White Chalice's deck, revealing itself to be... a pair of humans clad in armor. The armor being Black Cloud and the Great Pretender, to be precise.]

I promised... to return...

1.
[Reactions for witnessing the crash come here. Devon and Laura's armors disappear almost immediately, and they lie down on the deck without strength to even get up. Exhausted, wounded and even somewhat singed they may look... but they are definitely alive and conscious.]

2.

[Some time later, once someone mercifully dragged Devon along to the medical bay - she'll be busy lying in bed and recuperating from the recent hell she went through. Still, the bandaged Shifter is good enough for visits.]

3.

[Same as #2, but for Laura. Just as Devon, she is worn out and injured, but the medical staff predicts she will make a full recovery soon enough. Although she has an eyepatch on.]

4.

[Locked to Cheng, and happening BEFORE prompt #2.

The Shifter still had some unfinished business before she could collapse. Mustering what little remains of her strength, she stumbled in a zombie-like gait to wherever her husband was at the time.

And once she makes it there, she just stands in the doorway. And stares.]

[Laura's in the brig.

It's at her own insistence, as soon as she was awake enough to insist. Once the medics were okay with letting her out of their sight, she went in to a cell. She's staying there until as much has been done to confirm she doesn't have any more surprises buried in the back of her mind as was done for Cheng, and then some. And it's noticeable to anyone who's used to her appearance that her ever-present amplifier is not on her wrist.

If you want to talk to her, it might take a while. Aside from the exhaustion of the fight, she's spending some of her time awake curled up in tears or otherwise unresponsive. Still - if you're patient, or time your visit right, she'll be able to speak, if you have something to say.]

[Sometime after Haruka left Miki finally decided to tell the rest of the crew what Mondenkind's plans were for dealing with Imber.]

I figured that it would only be fair to tell you all this since some of you seem delusional on the situation with Imber. I have orders to destroy Imber and I will be making it my first priority to ensure that happens.

[1 - Action]

[After Alexei's run in with a particularly large amount of Newtype pressure, he now is laying rather still on a gurney with about 2 pints of blood being siphoned into him to make up for what was lost. To say he was pale was a compliment at this point, his heart beat rather slow. He still has that content look on his face after he was put comatose.

An odd sight is off to the left of his gurney though: his personal computer console is there and plugged into Alexei's AMS interface. The camera seems to be on, and the screen is entirely blank with a blue background, sans for one line.]

INQUIRY?_

[2 - Locked to Kamille]

[As soon as Kamille walks into the room, the computer screen goes black, and the lettering red, ornate, cursive, much like Rayleonard's symbol.]

KAMILLE...

[3 - Action]

ANALYSIS COMPLETE._
RANK 21 ALEXEI SORAS RECOVERED. PLEASE STANDBY FOR CEREBRAL RESTART._

[The air in the room is tense. What sounds like defibrillator starting up rings in the ears of anyone present.]

3. 2. 1... CLEAR._

[Then discharges as Alexei's body just jumps from the gurney, only to settle back down onto the bed.]

FAILURE. 3. 2. 1... CLEAR._

[And again, with the same results.]

FAILURE. INCREASING VOLTAGE. 3. 2. 1... CLEAR._

[This jolt causes the lights to dim for just a brief moment as Alexei's eyes shoot open, leaping from the bed and grabbing at the side of the gurney. His eyes dart around, breathing heavily as he's brought back into the land of the living.]

WELCOME BACK RANK 21 ALEXEI SORAS._

S-Shut u-up... W-Wahrheit...

1.[A small broadcast, for whoever's going to bother to listen to it. Haruka's ribbons are out of her hair, and she's dressed messily in a pair of pajamas. Feel free to react and talk about this with anyone.]

Ummm...I know this is a bit of a bad time and all, and I don't want to cause any trouble, but...

...Once we beat Adventus, I want to go home.

2. Later on in the day, you might see Haruka during a brief snack run. She's still undressed, and actually pretty hard to get ahold of-the girl's bothered to take small side hallways, and generally avoid people.

In fact, this may very well be the first time you see Haruka in the past week; she's been avoiding people ever since Imber up and vanished.

[On the deck of the Chalice, Alexei stands and looks up as several shadows are cast on the deck. They're far away, but one can make out the sight of 5 aircraft, massive in size and shaped like stealth bombers. Although such a shape would make Alexei panic and head to the Wahrheit to counteract, he seems oddly complacent. He's just staring up at these colossal machines, almost as if he was staring off into space. Care to bother him?]

(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?)

In twenty hours I'm calling a meeting of anyone who can attend. We're going to plan a counter offensive against Adventus, going on what we know. Suggestions will be encouraged, though attendance is not mandatory. However, it would be crucial to know who wants in on this. Come to the Nirvana at 09:30 tomorrow morning and have someone bring you to meeting room 4.

[Dita had been hard at work since comforting Hana and she was making a plan. A good one no less. It involved distraction, spearheaded teamwork and a good portion of good old fashioned pirate tactics.

It was here that she had come up with variants, and had called a meeting for people. Several mecha were displayed on the walls, including several designs for the Super Vandread to spearhead it.]

Glad everyone can make it so far.

chases-aliens.livejournal.com

[Alexei is looking about for Cheng. From one military man to another... he thought that a sit down and heart to heart would help to ease the tension... namely on Alexei's behalf. Don't get him wrong, he's happy for the two... but just wants to make sure...]

1. Video

[Alexei appears on a monitor. He's battered, sweating, disheveled, but smiling.]

I want to thank you all... Everybody that helped to take down Cabracan and the Adventus... I'm proud of each and every single one of you. The League has sent this. I thought you should see it all.

[The League logo pops up, and yet again, the voice of the League's sultry representative takes over.]

White Chalice... we received word that Cabracan was destroyed. We wish to congratulate you on your victory, and, as well, wish to uphold our end of the deal. Within the next few days, the League will ship up to you parts and equipment, as well as food, and any other supplies that the Chalice would like to request, as well as a monetary bonus of 500,000 League credits.

Alexei, PRIME, your actions on the field were superb. GA kept surveillance on the field as you fought. From this, and with the death of Shamir Ravi Ravi and Do Su, we wish to promote you both. Alexei, you now hold the rank of 20, while PRIME, you hold the rank of 19. Carry your ranks with honor, Heit Team, you've earned them.

[The video cuts there]

2. Action

[Alexei is overseeing the damage, namely, the damage done to Wahrheit. It would take just a short time for them to ship in new parts and get them affixed, but the Wahrheit was a shell of what it once was. Still, he was impressed with that it did, and most importantly, he was impressed with what everybody on the mission did. He says nothing, but it's clear he's in deep contemplation. Anyone that wants to disturb him may. He seems to be in real good spirits.]

3. Action - Locked to PRIME, but can be eavesdropped by Kincaid, Tobia, and Zabine due to the possession of the holodeck.

[In darkness, and locked tight, Alexei stares at a screen, looking at all the data that's been collected so far.]

Alright, PRIME... time to send our report... what do you have?

1. VIDEO

[Pretty much all over the ship, any video screen flickers to life with the symbol of the League.]

Hello again, White Chalice. This is the League of Ruling Corporations. We have heard reports of... discontent within our ranks. We believe the Algebra corporation may be staging some sort of attack. To preempt this, the Global Armaments wishes to contract you all. They will administer the briefing...

[The screen instantly darkens as Global Armaments' emblem appears on the screen. The sound of a gruff, military man takes over for the sultry mistress of the League]

Alright, this is your mission.

The client is GA America. The target is Algebra's attack transport Arms Fort, Cabracan.

[The next behemoth is shown on the screen:

Cabracan is protected by a very thick sheet of armor, and is impossible to take down with standard NEXT weaponry. I don't mind telling you that it's a real headache to deal with.

However, the thing does have a weak point. If you can manage to get under the skirting armor at its base, you will be able to take out the tracks and bring it to a halt. That is all we need you to do for this operation.

Frankly, the top brass don't have all the details themselves. What they do know, is that this Arms Fort could become a serious threat.

All of you taking this job will be well compensated. We hope to hear from you soon.

[The message cuts out, the League logo and woman's voice taking over once more.]

It goes without saying that the League will apply the same bonuses and penalties for completion and desertion respectively. Compensation will be in the form of a resupply and payment in the form of credits. As GA stated before, we can't wait to work with you again.

[VIDEO FEED END]

2. Action

[Alexei is generally in a very pissed off mood after that briefing. He's wandering the halls, head lowered and teeth grating together.]

Of all the companies... why did it have to be THEM?!

azure-savior.livejournal.com

[In some part of the Chalice, the smell of some of the best damn coffee you've ever come across has begun to waft into your surroundings. And shortly after smelling it, you might just catch sight of Joshua as well, drifting around with a plastic, tear-shaped cup in hand filled with coffee. And god damn would you just look at the smile on his face.]

Alright... I don't know about any of you, but I'm feeling better than I have in the past few months. Yeah, I know there's plenty of crap going on, but when isn't it?

[And it's at this point he holds out the cup, offering it to you.]

It's my sister's brew; the one thing she can make well. And she makes it really well... though for the life of me I always seem to forget how great it is. Certainly makes every batch taste as good as the first one she ever made though.

I'd finally got around to it after ~~Luger ate the toxins~~ finishing off the rest, but when I started drinking this, I just thought... well, no need to keep it all to myself. Especially since, well I did just say plenty of crap's going on. But that's all the more reason to keep your spirits up!

(The cup in question is specifically designed to let people drink open beverages in zero-g, and yes, it really does exist.)

Everyone!

Um...thank you. Gato has been defeated. I feel like there is more that I need to atone for, but...

Then, I saw everybody. A variety of people here aboard the Chalice. This isn't about Zeon or Federation. Everybody has something or someone they want to protect.

But for me, as a pilot, not sure on how helpful I can be.

[From the fight against the Delaz Fleet and the TITANS, a bunch of Zaku were brought back. Bernie looked pretty surprised. He was on a ship full of pirates.]

It's strange. I've always heard about people going into space for several purposes and reasons, but I never imagined I'd be one of those people.

Who else here is new to space?

[For a while, Tobia and some help (read: MarKus, most likely) were busy in the hangar painting one of the I-Saviours. But their job is done! The Mobile Suit's chest is black now, with a white skullhead and crossed bones on it. Gee, looks kinda like another Gundam we have, doesn't it?]

Whew! I think it turned out pretty good.

After the battle for Bunch 30, just as everyone is getting read to go, a dented old pickup truck drives up to the White Chalice party. It is followed by a decent sized red mech, carrying a sword and shield. While it wasn't able to directly help out, some of you may remember catching glimpses of the red robot beating up the various monsters and metoids while you all were fighting Abyss. The truck's driver gets out and waves for someone's attention before everyone's gone.

"Hey! Permission to come aboard?"

[Later, on the Chalice. The truck is parked in the hangar next to the red robot and a tent. Njall has commandeered a video console somewhere.]

Greetings, warriors of the famous White Chalice! I am Njall, son of Erland, and I wish to join your band.

[He looks around.]

It looks like there's no shortage of space, at least. This ship is HUGE.

[Well, for those who were wondering about the pilot you attacked and then helped, he's in the infirmary. No signs of injury, but his energy/prana is nearly zilch after that fight. Rather than sleeping, he is surprisingly calm, with just a scowl on his face and not yelling for a change. And by his side, two cats, one black and white, are resting by his side and on top of him.

Dare to bother/interrogate?]

[In the wake of the most recent mission, you'll find a disheartening sight if you enter the hangar. The HK-1138' Corona lies in a crumpled, ruined heap off in a side designated for unsalvagable wrecks, the entire machine nearly split in twain height-wise, a huge chunk of it just fucking gone. Those parts from before? Yeah, phoney. All of them. Danconias-Phillips imitation parts and completely incompatible. You didn't actually think they'd HELP Julia, did you?]

Come on... move... move!

[And elsewhere in the hangar, Julia has been trying as hard as she can to use other machines. Knightmare Frames. Mobile Suits. Everything and anything that currently isn't claimed by someone else just so no stone was unturned. But it's all for naught. Her hands fly wildly and clumsily at the controls. It takes all of her willpower and focus to just a machine to stumble awkwardly forward, and all too often her machine stumbles and falls. And finally after one failure too many...

[Well, everyone has a breaking point and Julia's just hit hers.]

I can't...

I can't pilot anymore...

curseu-reflexes.livejournal.com

Looks like we're ALL pirates and outlaws now. I almost feel like we should do some kind of celebration for it. But that's probably just me feeling like a need a drink.

Eh, at least I won't have to worry about ruining your reputation by association anymore. No more hiding whenever a federation ship goes by.
