Flowers that Bloom in Space

Long-range scouting discovers what is likely a Protoculture asteroid base.  While potentially enlightening, energy readings detected there are cause for concern.  Especially when one matches what Team Doberman picked up while trying to scout the Wulgaru gate...

Canon: Staring Into The
Characters: Roy Garnette, any number of other participants
Type: Spontaneous

Schedule: This mission will happen on Monday March 28th, at 5 PM CST/6 PM CDT. Do note that most regions of the world that observe DST will have switched to it by that time.

The mission My Future, Everyone's Future has been completed successfully.  The complete log can be read here.

Asagi Toshikazu

Important Notes:
- Chimera attacked to take back its headquarters with all the power Edel Bernal could muster from the Cambio Protocol... which admittedly was little outside of her own forces on account of the losses sustained by its most active and prominent members.  An attempt to make the main defenders lose heart by thinking everyone else was already dead fortunately was dispelled by both common sense and the unexpected help of Alternate Toby and Denzel, along with Xine Espio.
- Asakim Dowin has finally met his end courtesy of Setsuko and the Nautilus Carver.  He was actually pretty happy about being legitimately killed though, since that was his ultimate goal.
- Edel Bernal showed up in battle as well with her powerful Lemures, revealing herself to be a power-hungry bitch all this time with no regard for even the other Cambio Protocol members who were all just under her thumb so she could keep them in check.  Unfortunately... someone else had been pulling her strings all along.
- This person was in fact "Jii" Edel Bernal, the original who had created the "Edel Bernal" we knew to cause instability and chaos in the world for no other reason than the fun of it..  Assuming the guise of Jii Babel and the Black Charisma on separate occasions, Jii revealed himself to us to ensure we wouldn't stop his entertainment in the future... and with a lot of dimensional hax at his disposal he came very close.  However, a heroic sacrifice by Willis, and then Setsuko using her own Sphere's power managed to not only stop a potential merging of dimensions, but keep Willis from being lost AND also bringing back all of Xine's presumed-lost comrades from La Gias.
- With all the truth about Edel exposed, the Cambio Protocol probably doesn't have much life left in it, if any at all.
- We lost our chance of just erasing Loni from existence.  Way to go, guys.

The mission World in Black was a success. The log can be read here.

Participants:
Setsuko Ohara
Willis Clades
Elyssa Soleil
Selena Recital
Volya Alkaev

Notes:
-The attack on Black Charisma's battleship was a success. It is not in Unity Group's hands.
- Apart from a swarm of AI defenders, we faced Xine, Lowen and Shuran in battle. Thanks to Setsuko's words, Xine was persuaded to switch sides and left the battle, promising to return. Lowen and Shuran remained loyal to Chimera and died in the fight.
- The only other person present inside the battleship was old man Jii. He doesn't seem to know much, beyond that Edel Bernal went somewhere together with a man who's presumably Asakim.

The mission Dark Ingress was a success - if in an unexpected way. The log can be read here.

Participants:
Walt Schmertz
Eva Barton
Asagi Toshikazu
Hibiki Tachibana

Notes:
-The cult of the Sleeper tried to summon it using mystical beacons - ones powered by human sacrifice. The cultist leader tried to persuade us that this is a small price to pay, and the Sleeper From Between the Stars will be controlled by him and used as a defender of humanity against all the other god-like threats that endanger Earth. We were not convinced.
-However in the end the Sleeper was summoned anyway, with the cult leader revealing his role as the Dreamer shortly before his demise - one who is necessary to be overcome for the Sleeper to awake.
-The Sleeper entered this plane of existence and immediately ordered people present to serve him. Unfortunately for it, it turned out human technology has progressed quite a lot since the last time the Sleeper was here, and compared to Unity Group units the creature turned out to be a giant pushover.
-The Sleeper surrendered and agreed not to demand sacrifices from humans anymore, in a passive aggressive way. We let it return to its home universe, and it shouldn't be bothering anyone from now on. It's almost comical, except for all the people brutally murdered by the cult.

Following the recent IC post, Unity Group has a new goal (in addition to its usual tasks of course) - which is to retrieve ancient artifacts that are actually parts of Discovery or Self, or could be used as one.

This is where this post comes in - if you are interested in having an artifact retrieval event (either mission or log) related to one of your canons, please inform the mods. Either by responding here, or talking on AIM. You know how to catch us.

This is an offer especially meant for canons that didn't have a mission for a long time because they ended. I already have a potential list of canons in my mind and will contact their players to see if they are interested, but I am always open for new suggestions.

People who'd like to have other, non-artifact related post canon missions should let the mod team know as well!

Oh, and also: if players are interested in taking action to persuade ESUN not to accept Lee Linjun's proposal (that is: to make UG a part of SSR), you are welcome to do that. Run the potential ideas by the mod team if you're not sure if they're acceptable and fitting. The proposal won't be accepted or rejected any time soon, so there is IC time to act.

The mission Monomyth Breakers will happen on Friday February 12th at 10 AM CST - roughly 15 hours from the time of this posting.

Participants - route A:
Ana Racik

Participants - route B:
Eva Barton
Kei Kugimiya
Peola Nelfess
Asagi Toshikazu

There are open slots available. Route A is looking a bit empty at the moment - however there is nothing wrong with that and the mission will proceed regardless of how many people are participating from each route. See you there.

Monomyth Breakers

The Discovery's in space, surrounded by a swarm of strong enemies. A fleet gathered by Lee Linjun plans to destroy it before the Lady can make her next move - what will Unity Group do?

Canon: Super Robot Wars Unification
Characters: any number of combatants, from both routes A and B (but circumstances of their entrance into the mission will be much different...)
Type: Planned
Setting: Around an ancient starship floating on Earth orbit
Schedule: This mission may happen between Tuesday February 9th and Monday February 15th. If you'd like to participate, please respond below with preferred times and dates.

Allowing everyone's scheduling, the sooner this mission may happen the better.

Expected length: 3-4 hours

The Boon

The Discovery comes under attack by Apollonius Gavin and his circle of friends. They carry the three seals - the Discovery is the only place where they can break them. It's in the best interest of Unity Group, SSR, and ESUN and the world in general to stop them!

Canon: Super Robot Wars Unification
Characters: any number of combatants
Type: Spontaneous
Setting: Around and inside an ancient artifact facility
Schedule: This mission will happen on Friday February 5th at 5 PM CST/11 PM GMT. If you'd like to participate, please respond below with preferred times and dates.

Expected length: 3.5 to 4 hours

Note: Characters who participate in this mission will be unable to interact with the rest of the game for a little while. Think of it as a mini route split.

The mission Last Traitor was full of various revelations - and ultimately, a success! The log can be read here.

Participants:
Hikari Shimamura
Daniel
Elyssa Soleil
Jen Douglas
Roy Garnette

Notes:
-The town has been burned down by a group of religious fanatics, the Lost Seekers. It turns out they have a shared past with Daniel and their leader said Daniel was a spy working for them.
-To make matters even worse, a Beast of Starmind was detected on location - the first time away from Japan, it turned out to be a copy of Bahamut Metalia itself! It said Professor Matsuyama made it, and used Hikari's friend Katsuhiko as an unwilling interface.
-The above turned out to be lies. Daniel worked with the Lost Seekers but that was in the past, and he appeared as a reinforcement - on our side.
-Shoji Matsuyama uncovered a message from the past, revealing the true nature of the fake Beast Bahamut. His grandpa was not the one to create it or give it orders to conquer humanity, he in fact sealed it away at a cost of his own life - but saving thousands in the process.
-Katsuhiko was rescued thanks to everyone's efforts, and a timely intervention of Roy's Wagner - still without its cockpit block. Roy is indeed a robot, one whose AI is housed in Wagner itself.
-The old compound of the Lost Seekers may have some answers. Apparently one of their Wise Men, thought deceased, is still alive and restarts the crusade against the world.
