SRW Unification OOC Comm

A convoy transporting Real Trooper series of units has been attacked by an unidentified new assailant. Unity Group is sent to assist!

Canon: Super Robot Wars OG/Advance, Runaway Princess Bride
Characters: Lamia Loveless, Peola Nelfess, up to 6 other combatants
Type: Spontaneous
Setting: Seaside highway in Japan
Schedule: This mission may happen between Tuesday September 9th and Sunday September 14th. If you would like to participate, please respond below with preferred times and dates.

Hide and Seek

Sara Harper has been found - rescued by a PROGTECH space research facility! But as we move out to retrieve her, it turns out the facility has been attacked and important cargo has been stolen. PROGTECH requires assistance in retrieving it.

Canon: Armored Core, Dawn of Miracles SolSavior
Characters: Leos Klein, Mizuki Onodera, Dido Sybil, Kentaro Torao, up to 5 other characters
Type: Planned, just not the way we expected
Setting: Derelict space ship
Schedule: This mission may happen only on one day, Friday August 29th. If you'd like to participate, please respond below and say if you'd rather the mission start on 6 PM or 7 PM CDT/CST.

The Battle of Ceres

A massive Wulgaru force is on-route to the ESUN space fortress at Ceres.  Plans are drafted up in the hopes of repelling the inevitable attack, but nobody will be ready for what this battle will reveal...

Canon: Majestic Prince
Characters: Izuru Hitachi, Asagi Toshikazu, Ataru Suruga, Kei Kugimiya, any four combatants
Type: Planned
Setting: Near the dwarf planet Ceres
Scheduling: This mission can take place on August 28th (next Thursday), August 29th (next Friday), September 1st (the Monday after that), or September 2nd (the Tuesday after that).  I work Friday afternoon and thus if the mission were held on that day it would have to be "US"-style time, but I have Thursday, Monday, and Tuesday open so I'm pretty much good whenever those days.  If you would like to participate, please post what days are good for you and your preferred hours.

EDIT: Just as a heads-up for something I remembered... scheduling at work for me right now is being kinda balls on account of someone going on vacation the week of the 31st and the father of another coworker suffering serious health problems.  I will keep everyone posted in case something happens that interferes with running the mission.

Bullet Drive

The three Sages of Legion express their interest in the Biometal and ask Ashe to visit the Legion HQ. Several more people are assigned as escort, in case Prometheus and his robots show up again...
But as soon as the group reaches the place, it's under attack by different, completely unexpected enemies!

Canon: Megaman ZXA, Gundam AGE
Characters: Ashe, Flit Asuno, up to 6 others
Type:  Semi-planned.
Setting: Legion Headquarters.
Schedule: Unless Steam's schedule changes, this mission can only take place on Tuesday, August 19th, or Friday, August 22th. Also, I'd like to run it earlier than usual - 3-4 PM CST, if possible. If you would like to participate, please respond below with your preferred dates and times.

War Of The False Gods

Chaos runs rampant when another AEP Gebian force launches an attack on Earth, targeting a -to them- strategically valuable location.  There's plenty of defenders there... but the problem is that a lot of civilians are in the crossfire too and neither side seems to care about a ceasefire.  So guess who it falls on to play heroes...

Canon: Swarms of Gods, Mythology's End
Characters: Hetepheres, Ryuichi, any six combatants
Type:  Spontaneous.
Setting: The city of Sparta
Schedule: Steam's schedule sucks, silver lining on those clouds edition!  Four days next week are viable for this: Monday the 11th, Tuesday the 12th, Wednesday the 13th, and Friday the 15th.  Although I have Tuesday off entirely, I work the mid-day shift those other three days, thus the mission would be starting later just for the name of preserving my sanity (7 or 8 PM Central ideally).  So yeah, Tuesday's what I'm hoping for here but the others are an option.  Please list your preferences for these days when you comment.

Fearful Symmetry

When an ESUN team goes missing in the jungles of South America to find an informant who might just be the key to stopping a terrorist, it's up to the Unity Group to find them and/or finish their mission.  Unfortunately, there are some that don't want us finding the informant... to say nothing of the fate of the previous team...

Canon(s): Best Face of Humanity, Project: Pedantic Blue
Characters: Ren, Eva Barton, any six combatants
Type: Semi-planned. 
Setting: A South American Jungle.
Schedule: The mission can take place either Tuesday, August 5th or Wednesday, August 6th.  If you would like to participate, please post below with your preferred times.

This mission will be preceded by a log.  It will also be held in AIM chatrooms again unless everyone would prefer we continue using IRC.

Anchorage

Scheduling: This mission may happen between Wednesday July 16th, and Tuesday July 22nd. If you would like to participate, please respond below with preferred dates and times.

Yes, two Cubey missions in one week.

Heaven's Wings

The Knight

Sakihama Base is attacked by a new human enemy group - who know more about Unity Group than outsiders should! To make matters worse, there are monsters lurking around...

Canon: Dirge of Fate, SRWU
Characters: Volya Alkaev, up to 8 other characters
Type: Spontaneous
Setting: Sakihama Base, exterior
Scheduling: This mission may happen between Wednesday May 14th and Saturday May 17th, or alternatively on Sunday May 18th (though I'd rather not). If you'd like to participate please respond below with prefered dates and times.

Change! Getter Robo!

An opaque black dome appears over a small town in Japan, not far from Saotome Labs. Contact with the inside is lost, and a scouting party send inside does not return. ESUN establish a base to figure out what's going on, with Professor Saotome lending some aid - but he seems to be more occupied by other matters...

Then, several days later, the place is attacked by unexpected enemies from ancient prehistory!

Heroes in Disguise

As Unity Group investigates a mysterious assailant responsible for stealing power from remote facilities all around the world, we suddenly find ourselves fighting more than we bargained for! Yet, help arrives from unexpected directions...

Canons: Transformers G1, Senki Zesshou Symphogear
Characters: Optimus Prime, Kanade Amou, Tsubasa Kazanari, up to 5 other characters
Type: Planned
Setting: Power plant somewhere in Japan
Schedule The mission can take place between Wednesday, April 30th and Saturday May 3rd OR alternatively on Sunday May 4th, though I'd rather avoid that one time. If you'd like to participate, please respond below with your preferred dates and times. I stress the last part out because I know that for people required for this mission, the standard time of ~7 PM CDT is less than ideal. So maybe we should try a significantly earlier or later hour instead?

Is The Moon Out?

Mithril asks Unity Group to help with recovering hostages and a VIP from a kidnapped airplane. Fortunately, they have a hidden agent on board. At the same time, a group of mercs from the ship Freeden asks for help with rescuing a kidnapped girl.
Both of those kidnappings lead to the same place...

Canon: Full Metal Panic, After War Gundam X
Characters: Sagara Sousuke, Kaname Chidori, Garrod Ran, up to 6 others
Type: Planned, just not yet.
Setting: An airport in southeast Asia + surrounding wilderness, at night.
Schedule: This mission can take place between Friday, April 25th, and Sunday, April 27th, and maybe on Wednesday, April 23rd. If you would like to participate, please respond below with your preferred dates and times.

As announced earlier, we are scheduling a test mission - so that people who are not familiar with the game's mission format can experience firsthand how do they work.

Here are the details:

-The mission is pre-emptively scheduled for Friday April 11th, 7 PM CDT (Central Daylight Time). If you want to participate, please respond below and say if this time is good for you - and if not, feel free to suggest alternatives.

-There are no limits of how many people can participate in the mission. You do not need to sign up for it either (though you are welcome to do so, so we can judge interest), just join it when the time comes. Feel free to leave it mid-mission as well if real life obligations get in the way. The mission's goal is to familiarize yourself with the format.

-The mission will use two AIM chatrooms - srwuooc for ooc communication and srwumissiontest for in-character action. When the mission starts, please join these rooms to participate, or ask the mission runner (Cubey) for an invite. It's also suggested for participants to be on the ooc chatroom at least 10-15 minutes before the start of the mission.

-You don't have to be a player who already joined the game to participate. Anyone is free to join, as either an in-character participant/combatant or just an ooc spectator.

-For the mission, you can bring any character as long as they fit thematically into the game. It does not have to be a character who was approved or even app'ed yet. Just bring whomever you want. Do note that the mission runner might ask you for a short description of your unit's capabilities if it's an OC or something from an obscure canon.

-In-character, it is assumed that your characters are all members of Unity Group or close allies who were nearby and are there to assist when one of the bases suddenly comes under attack. It is a simple setup and a simple mission, so don't expect much in the way of plot twists. The mission won't count as canon for the proper game, it's after all only a "test" one.

-You are encouraged to read our guide to missions if you want to participate, but if something is unclear or you have questions during the mission, then don't worry and just ask them on the ooc chat.

If you want to participate, please respond below, with your preferred dates if the suggested one doesn't fit your schedule. I hope to see you there.
