Notes:
- As it turned out, the reason for the Great Black Void's return and the source of it power was a fragment of the Discovery! The ancient artifact is now recovered and in Unity Group's possession.
- We learned the truth of the Void's background. It was a vengeful entity created after a whole race of dark being was destroyed in the war against the Lady, and who blamed creatures of light for their deaths.
- Ultimately, the Great Black Void was destroyed, and it admitted its mistakes.
- Zankuro is back safe and sound, although he's artificially aged.

Notes:
- The Asteroid base turned out to have been of Protoculture in design, seized by Kamjin and other Zentradi using it to try to reactivate the Wulgaru's gate.  They got help for that by the somehow still-alive Jiart, with both groups intending to try to use the gate for their own ends to either call more Zentradi in, or open a portal for more Wulgaru.
- Ultimately, either through their own fair share of ally killing or the efforts of the Unity Group, Kamjin's faction was killed to the man as was Jiart himself... though not before the portal was opened, enabling more Wulgaru to arrive.
- Fortunately though, the fleet led by Legates Lumes has turned out to be comparatively small, and more than that has apparently come in peace.  The battles with Earth and the Unity Group have given the race food for thought, and the looming threat of the revitalized Balmarians are a greater cause for concern.

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.

Important notes:
- The art expo was derailed when Apogee 13 showed up with a squad of assassins, all for the purpose of trying to kill Jen.  Some quick thinking on her part got the fight moved to outside, but not before Apogee also shot her in the back in a rather dickish fashion.
- During the battle, some hired thugs Apogee had brought along had the bright idea to try to kill Jen's sister and mother, providing incentive enough for Jen to master the Nemain's superspeed movement. It was enough to kill the jerk and save her family!
- Buuuuuuuut also not enough to defeat Apogee, who only retreated after Sielje intervened and saved Jen's life.  To make matters worse, her superspeed movement also seems to not just accelerate her machine... but also the progression of the same disease that took her father's life.

The canon Hell's Embrace True is now complete!

Notes:
- Carina used the Gatekeeper to launch an attack on the Gloster HQ. Thanks to a coordinated effort between Gloster and Unity Group, the attack was stopped. There was a lot of collateral damage, but no casualties.
- Lenore was rescued safe and sound. Freeing her from the Gatekeeper caused the gigantic machine to fall apart.
- As a backup plan, Carina tried to summon the Kijin Emperor, who turned out to be Seta - very much alive and very much still on our side.
- In the end Carina Gloster was killed, and her army of fake Craft was destroyed completely. It's safe to say that this particular threat is now taken care of.

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

Participants:

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.

The mission Monomyth Breakers was a success, and both routes are now reunited. The log can be read here.

Notes:
-SSR acted before Unity Group could get there, and proceeded to assault the Discovery. Having no outside help, their force consisted only of the Shirogane, the Handsome Aces and Ana.
-Help came from an unexpected direction as the inside team managed to break out and assisted SSR in fighting the Guardians and the Seekers - who turned out to be much weaker than before, though still very dangerous.
-Lee Linjun tried to fire the Tronium Cannon on the Discovery, but Inspector Jou persuaded him not to. The Cannon obliterated enemy reinforcements which came from the other side of the Shirogane instead.
-The Discovery is now safely under our control, and the Inspector has some very important things to tell us...

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

Participants:

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.

Important Notes:
- Thanks to being quickly alerted, the Unity Group was able to attack a VIPER base shortly after it was set up. A good thing too, since the Forgemaster base could perform near-instantaneous repairs on their stock of mooks.
- Doomstar was also present, as was another Julia who attempted to fire a slew of nanomachine-equipped WMDs at cities, only to be stopped by the Unity Group and Doomstar herself. Turns out Doomstar is cool with a lot of decidedly uncool things, but she's still got standards about using weaponry on civilians.
- Following VIPER's defeat and Julia's death, Doomstar has entered Unity Group custody. God help us all.

The mission Home was a catastrophe and a failure. The log can be read here.

Notes:
-The artificial island of Erria came under attack by the people responsible for John Dotrice's abduction, in order to awaken Dakova and then capture it, weakened by its initial outburst. They have succeeded.
-The enemies turned out to be a group known as SCCF - the Special Capture/Containment Foundation. Their goal was to study, capture and utilize supernatural specimens around the world, but now they decided to use their findings to bring new order to the world: whether it wants to or not. Even more worryingly, they seemed to utilize some Chimera AI units.
-The SCCF leader Lilian Cavanagh was killed and their carrier lost a large section, but in the end we were unable to save John Dotrice.
-Roy turned out to be a very human-like robot, something which even he didn't know. However he too was severely damaged and his body was lost to the sea. All we could recover was the pilot-less Wagner...
-The island of Erria is destroyed and its survivors are not too well mentally.

The mission The Shirogane Rescue Operation was a success, though if it was coupled with an unexpected departure. The log can be read here.

Participants:

Bryanne Eriksen
Peola Nelfess
Mizuki Onodera
Baron Archibald von Whiskers
Dido Sybil

Notes:
- Lee Linjun was successfully rescued, and the Shirogane is back in the hands of SSR. The relationship between the two organizations became stronger on the surface, but some of the revelations that happened during the mission made it more uneasy.
- Brye and Rani turned out to be spies working for SSR, whose job was to look for dirt on UG. After this was revealed, it turned out they're not happy with the way both SSR and Unity Group do things - instead of returning to either organization they left to change the world on their own terms, taking the Grunbein with them.
- Lorenzo di Montegnacco was killed in the fight, and his custom Valsion was destroyed.
- Rani left her numerous pets in Peola's care. Someone should probably lend her a hand before she gets completely overwhelmed.
- Salwah took Phannuhel's robotic horse for her own Arma.

The mission Blefuscian Hitcher was a success! The log can be read here.

Participants:
Hikari Shimamura
Grimlock
Asagi Toshikazu
Roy Garnette

Notes:
-Our visit to Swindle's hideout surprisingly did not end with an exchange of fire. Unfortunately it was interrupted by Beasts of the Starmind appearing again.
-The Beasts did not seem to have a leader at first, but it was a trick - their leader was Plexippus, a nanomachine cloud virus who took control of Bahamut Metalia and turned the giant tank against its own allies!
-Thanks to everyone's efforts and the power of friendship, Hikari proved why a connection between human and machine exists and broke Plexippus' hold on Metalia. The Beast was forced out and tried to use corpses of its own defeated minions for a new body, but it was obliterated and is gone for good.
-Plexippus turned out to know who Bahamut Metalia is, and provided ominous remarks about its nature, and how different our relationship could have been was it not for Metalia's lost memory...
-Swindle lost a lot of junk expensive merchandise due to all the fighting, but in the ends agreed to provide us with information we're looking for - the current location of Shirogane. For a price, of course. He doesn't know it yet, but soon will. Hopefully it's not a trick.
-The ex-Decepticon Scavengers were there too.

The mission High Noon was a success. The log can be read here.

With this, the canon the Good, the Bad, the Gal with the Gun is now truly complete!

Participants:

Notes:
-Sapphire Eyes was the first to reach and partially uncover the ancient city in which the time machine rested. Fortunately, Westwood brought reinforcements of their own. Unfortunately, the Enclave decided both Sapphire Eyes AND Grace are too much of a threat to leave alive and have to be eliminated.
-During the three way battle, the cave housing the time machine was opened (with more dynamite). It is there that the final confrontation took place, as the time machine's power could be accessed only during the exact noon.
-Sapphire Eyes won her double duel with Grace and Westwood, but thanks to the former's bluff she was tricked, the time machine damaged and malfunctioning. Both it and Sapphire Eyes disappeared in a nexus of power, to parts (and times) unknown.
-The priceless ancient city took damage and so did our reputation with the Enclave. However with the time machine and Sapphire Eyes gone, Westwood no longer wants to hunt Grace down. No longer forced to stay with Unity Group either, she can truly do whatever she wants now.

The mission All or Nothing turned out in a way not quite unexpected, and it's hard to decide if it's a success or failure. The log can be read here.

Roger Smith
Dido Sybil

Notes:
-The OSI headquarters came under attack by the Ebon Court - low on manpower, they hired two rogue Ravens (and a bunch of cannon fodder), and got assistance from the Chimera as well.
-The Ebon Court as it turns out wanted to gather the key artifacts to break the seal on an ancient monster, responsible for deaths of almost all from their civilization - not to free it, but to slay it for good. Having finally learnt of this motivation, members of Unity Group offered assistance. An offer that was grudgingly accepted...
-Only for Director Holstein and the OSI-held Acolyte Kurtis to reveal themselves - as minions of the very monster the Ebon Court tried to destroy. Having learnt of their exact plan as well, they no longer had anything to hide and decided to kill everyone present.
-Holstein and Kurtis were killed, but Avishai died fighting them. That leaves only two members of the Ebon Court alive - Graeme and their leader Lagardia. They both were escorted back to Unity Group.
-The attack on OSI headquarters caused damage and casualties among the organisation and the local defense force. Even though the Ebon Court's motivations may have been noble, their actions can't be easily forgiven.
-Calvin got his Genoace back, and a chance to one up OSI and stab Holstein in the head at the same time.

Mission The Cambio Protocol was a failure. The log can be read here.

Participants:
Selena Recital
Hikari Shimamura

Hetepheres
Volya Alkaev
Lenore Iblis

Notes:
-It was a trap. There were no hostages taken and the whole city was set up as an ambush to lure both SSR and Unity Group in, and destroy their teams both at once.
-The culprit - the Cambio Protocol, a loose alliance of factions that seek new world order by overthrowing ESUN and destroying UG and SSR. In addition to Divine Crusader remnants, its members include the Chimera, VIPER, Carina and her fake Crafts, and Phannuhel after he went rogue.
-Rumors of Sixshot's death have been greatly exaggerated.
-Escape was possible thanks to sudden reinforcements by an unaffiliated party, mainly Striker Eureka as well as the alternate universe Glory Stars, followed by Shirogane opening an escape path with its Tronium Cannon. Unfortunately, the enemy turned their attention to the Shirogane, which was captured.
-All units present on the mission have taken heavy damage. This is especially true for SSR - with many units and the flagship lost and Lee Linjun's fate uncertain, our rival group is weaker than ever.
-The government of Malaysia did not issue any official statement regarding this event.

Important Notes:
- A devastating attack planned by VIPER was spoiled by the Unity Group getting a tip-off for it before it happened.  This tip-off came courtesy of Jen, who had gone undercover in an operation planned with Commander Huffman to get information... and also steal a crapton of VIPER's funding.
- We killed off three more of the Julia clones.  One still got away with one of VIPER's fancy combat subs.
- Jen got a pretty bad beatdown between Apogee 13 and the Julia piloting VIPER's powerful Prima Materia, but she is fortunately still okay.

The mission Royal Rumble was a complete success! The log can be read here.

The canon Runaway Princess Bride is now complete!

Guest appearance by Ana Racik

Notes:
- Prince Haruun Harunn and company crashed Peola's wedding and challenged King Nelfess' decision, which led to an official trial by combat, with the royal siblings, Unity Group and Cennetig on one side, and the king, his royal guard, and the would-be groom Kliiment and his lackeys on the other side.
- The challenge was cut short as the Seeker, a huge robotic monster, showed up, clearly trying to destroy Grungust Alpha - or perhaps its pilots...
- During the fight, Huckebein Omega showed up on its own, without being piloted. This is not the first time such an incident happened.
- In the end, everyone present joined their forces to defeat the Seeker, except Kliiment and his men who fled like complete cowards. King Nelfess reached an understanding with his family, cancelled the wedding, and asks everyone for forgiveness for his actions and words. He also issued an official apology for ESUN and Unity Group, and offers to make amends.

Notes:
-The one coming under attack by the fake Crafts was Lenore - or rather, an SSR convoy transporting an artifact she was part of. The only SSR members who survived before we even got there were Lenore, the VF pilot Ben and MJP's Ange Kuroki.
-The attackers were sent by a woman named Carina. She knows Lenore, and revealed her to be a fake Kijin and Astara's clone. Apparently her plans are coming to fruition regardless, and all she needs is a "Key"...
-In the end, enemies were destroyed with Astara channeling Seta's power, and Lenore managing to activate the true power of her Phantom Guardian. The latter lost consciousness after her display of power, and was in danger of death via falling rubble - but Roy managed to save her in a display of extraordinary strength.
-Speaking of which, Roy's arm is busted.

Important Notes:
- A previously-localized alien threat, known as the Beasts of the Starmind, decided to branch out and attack more than a single specific region of Japan.  It was up to the Unity Group to step in since the specialized defenders weren't able to intercept them in time
- Said defenders consisted of a mercenary group lead by Kagami Tachibana -the daughter of a businessman with most of the holdings in the area- and then also a giant sentient tank known as Bahamut Metallia, piloted by Kagami's classmate Hikaru Shimamura.
- Antics happened and the giant turtle leading the attack did not go down easy, inflicting a non-negligible amount of damage on the city.  Still, the Unity Group, Hikari, Bahamut, and Kagami all working together managed to minimize the damage.

The mission Conquest was a success. The log can be read here.

Mizuki Onodera
Theo Perdurabo

Notes:
-Stigma found an ancient tomb in Egyptian desert and, unfortunately, managed to awaken the Rider within - the Rider of Conquest, Ett; and her Steed, Victory. Ett proved to be uncooperative and fought both Unity Group and Stigma.
-Despite that, Stigma forces supported her to the end. The Stigma leader Silon was present on site, and gave up his life to protect her from harm.
-Ett turned out to be a very difficult opponent with the ability of summoning an endless ghost army. However in the end, an outmatched Fyra did... something strange, to even out the odds. She vanquished Ett and Victory, an attack which resulted in a nuclear-like explosion. A patch of the desert is now irradiated, and we have many questions regarding what just happened.
-Installing systems similar to Smilodon's into other units turned out to be a success. Skald and Archibald should be able to pilot other machines Unity Group possesses. With only some difficulty.

The mission The Road of Trials was a partial success. The log can be read here.

Ken Torao
Raquel Manora

Notes:
- We managed to stop Loni and company, and rampaging monsters that appeared on the site, from destroying the Lei-Peshkov Psydyne Technologies HQ or massacring its workers, and from causing damage to the city. Their reason for trying to do so was the fact that this is the corporation that raised Ilinka as a super soldier, but also...
- It turned out that LPP Tech possessed an ancient stone tablet, which Loni described as one of the three Seals. He managed to steal the tablet and used it to summon a huge, powerful monster. The monster was defeated by Unity Group, but Loni, Desta and Ilinka fled the scene.
- Whoever has all three seals will obtain the power to change the world. Therefore, the fact that Loni has one of them is very much bad news.

The mission RESHAPE ONESELF FOR ONCOMING ASPIRANTS was a success, though also not the finale thanks to player actions.  The mission log can be read here.

Important Notes:
- The return trip to the dome led us to another fight with the Rex Cavalier, but also with a new PRAYER called an Apostle.  Turns out that after being defeated last time, that's what Kagura got turned into.
- Thanks to the power of friendship, Kagura as able to exert her companionship and camaraderie in spite of her transformed state, making the Apostle pull its punches, and ultimately even protect others from the Cavalier's attacks and join in the beatdown and ultimate destruction of it.
- In the wake of the battle, the Apostle went unresponsive and has been brought back under tight security to try to see just how thorough the changes to Kagura have been.  The Dome's also curiously still proceeding with business as usual, and we will have to investigate it to determine what more there is to it.

Important Notes:
- The operation inside of Phobos to stop its collision course with Earth was initially impeded by Leos Klein, but the power of FRIENDSHIP managed to get through to him after a bit of a drubbing.  Unfortunately, it was then that the Nineball (with Hustler Two in tow) returned, revealing that even past its first "death", it had been manipulating Leos into doing exactly what it wanted.  The attempted moondrop on Earth?  Yeah, Nineball wanted that to correct a perceived flaw in the order of things on Earth.
- With everyone's help, Leos was able to destroy the Nineball once more.  Hopefully this is the last one.
- Leos Klein has been apprehended and is in military police custody.  The short-lived return of the Nineball and the implications of the extent it manipulated Leos has made authorities in the ESUN willing to consider more therapeutic forms of punish rather than proper imprisonment or execution.
- Leos's new AC, the Filial, has been put under lockdown as well, with its ultimate fate hinging on what the ESUN legal system decides to do with him.
- Mars is now minus one moon.  Well, ancient battlestation.

Notes:
-It turns out, Dr Wily's Second Numbers infiltrated the decomissioning plant to free the Light Numbers. This was to persuade them to join ranks with Wily, an offer they seemingly agreed to - though it turned out to be a ruse, as Light Numbers remained loyal to their own creator!
-The Nehushtan relic user Chris Yukine appeared again. After a BEFRIENDING (read: getting the crap punched out of her) by Hibiki, it turned out she also had a different, non-complete Relic which she was reluctant to use - Ichaival.
-Wily's true plan as it turned out was to launch Skull Satellites from his island fortress and blackmail ESUN into disbanding and making him the new leader, or else the satellites destroy Earth's surface. With help of Light Numbers and Chris, his plan was ultimately stopped.
-Fine, a mysterious woman wielding the Solomon's Cane AND Nehushtan appeared to declare Chris a failure and saying she has no more use of her. These words stung her deeply, causing Chris to flee to parts unknown... though the Second Division operatives have a strong suspicion where she might be going.
-Rock acquired Flash Man's Time Stopper, and the Unit-2 hoverboard. Also the Light Numbers' actions and dr Wily's nefarious plot opened eyes of the World Robot Union. The former are pardoned while the latter goes straight to jail!

Important Notes:
- Thanks to a sleeper agent, Leos was able to knock the security teams around the STAI Battleship off-guard and launch an attack backed by not just the Frighteners but also DC and NUNE remnants. Also Hustler Two (who had somehow survived our previous encounter with him) showed up, only to get blown up again.
- Despite everyone's best efforts, a protracted shell game courtesy of Leos let him secure what he'd been after; not the STAI Battleship as a whole, but rather a segment of the ship capable of interplanetary travel. He left with ominous words after killing what surviving forces he had left, fleeing with the segment away from Earth and into space. Turns out he didn't like them any more than we did; uniting them only to get rid of them all to try to make a better world. Whatever Leos's planning though, it can't be good.
- If it's any saving grace, we've recovered Leos's old AC; Pale Rider and finally killed off Remille and Boyle!
- Even though the STAI Battleship no longer has its interplanetary module and the defensive force suffered extensive casualties, most of the vessel is still there so somehow, ESUN considers this operation a success.
