SRW Unification OOC Comm

The mission was hard to schedule and I realize this time won't work for everyone. That's the best we can do, though.

Staring Into Thee

All out of sudden, an insidious large-scale activity befalls the Earth Sphere. It is Beatrice's doing, and her location can be tracked down - to an abandoned colony. The only way to stop her dreams of controlling the world is to go there, and finish it once and for all...

Canon: Staring Into The (canon finale)
Characters: Roy Garnette, at least 3 other combatants
Type: Planned
Setting: Abandoned space colony "Panopticon"
Schedule: This mission will happen on Saturday June 18th at 9 AM CDT. If you'd like to participate, please respond below.

The mission Master of Two Worlds was a surprising success. The log can be read here.

Participants:
Mizuki Onodera
Willis Clades
Elyssa Soleil
Dido Sybil
Walt Schmertz
Hetepheres

Notes:
-The area around the crash site was turned into a place under the Lady's influence. This includes the people, with the locals playing the role of helpless civilians, the recon team squad the role of bandits - and Gavin and his friends as heroes, of course.
-Despite receiving reinforcements in the form of more Grunbein copies and their Lucent Gunsword weapons, the trio has been bested. This is when it was revealed that Desta and Ilinka knew about the fake show Lady put up all along, but went along with it for the sake of Loni's happiness.
-Desta told the two others to flee while he himself used the Lady's power to become a Guardian. We've killed him and now he is gone for good. The two others have departed to parts unknown, but it's almost certain we will hear of them yet...
-The Discovery of Self has been reclaimed and the area and its people have returned to normal!
-The surroundings of the fight sustained a lot of damage, but casualties were kept to a minimum thanks to our active efforts. All units participating received heavy damage, however.

The mission Counterattack of the Unified Fleet was a success. The log can be read here.

Participants:
Selena Recital
Asagi Toshikazu
Kei Kugimiya
Astara Kellin
Seta Albreich

Notes:
-Before the unified fleets could get into position for an attack on the Balmarian force, Selena managed to break off and flee in Spectra's stolen Varuch Ishar, with Armana of course. The Balmarian pursuit group managed to corner her, right in time for our own force to show up.
-The Project Unification strike force fought hard against the Balmarians. Even though only a small part of the Fifth and Sixth Fleets were present, we endured strong resistance from a pair of new units, the Vayikran and Devariim, piloted by Spectra and Calico respectively. The Imperial Guards' Bemidoban was there as well.
-Thanks to Willis, Elma managed not only to repair the Soleares, but to upgrade it into AS Alegrias! Selena put it to good effect during the battle.
-Though their efforts at replicating Izuru's mindset have failed, Kei and Asagi found their own individual ways for the AHSMBs to Awaken. Their units' true potential has been unlocked.
-The Balmarian fleets' main forces soon arrived with the colossal Hermodrs, but before we could fight them all Balmarian clones spoke with the voice of their Spirit Emperor, Ruach Gan Eden. His meditations have ended and he declared the war with Earth over, as the recent Balmarian aggression was all decided by his Prime Minister, Shiva Gozzo, who planned to overthrow the emperor.
-Apparently we are at peace with Balmar now. Armana is allowed to stay on Earth and do as she pleases until the empire requires her sacrifice, and Ruach offered a piece of the Discovery of Self to us. Unfortunately it will require Armana's sacrifice first, as his full power is needed to reawaken it...

The mission Counterattack of the Unified Fleet will take place on Thursday June 2nd, at 2 PM CDT.

Participants:
Selena Recital
Kei Kugimiya
Asagi Toshikazu
Seta Albreich
Astara Kellin

There are open slots available for more participants, as usual. See you on the mission.

What's this? One scheduling post for two missions? They will take place seperately though, and players can freely participate in both if they so desire.

Counterattack of the Unified Fleet

Project Unification strikes at the Balmarian detachment near the Crossgate. Will we really manage to halt the invasion and save Armana - and Selena?

Canon: Super Robot Wars Alpha 3, Majestic Prince (post-canon event)
Characters: Selena Recital, Kei Kugimiya, Asagi Toshikazu, any number of other combatants
Type: Planned
Setting: Deep space, near Crossgate
Schedule: This mission may happen between Wednesday June 1st and Tuesday June 7th. If you'd like to participate, please respond below with preferred times and dates.

Master of Two Worlds

It's time to investigate the Discovery's crash site. All local airwaves are silent - just what exactly did Loni do here?

Canon: SRWU
Characters: At least 4 combatants
Type: Planned
Setting: Crash site - mountainous wilderness near a town
Schedule: This mission may happen between Wednesday June 1st and Tuesday June 7th. If you'd like to participate, please respond below with preferred times and dates.

The mission Fugitive's Truth will happen tomorrow, on Saturday May 28th, at 10 AM CDT/3 PM UTC.

Participants:
Selena Recital
Willis Clades
Kei Kugimiya
Possibly a Corel character (tentative)

As per the announcement we have 4 signups, including tentative signups so the mission will take place. People who didn't sign up can also show up, as usual. See you there.

The mission Hunger was a success, albeit one paired with ominous omens for the future. The log can be read here.

Participants:
Fyra
Kei Kugimiya
izuru Hitachi
Eva Barton
Mizuki Onodera  (and Zankuro)

Notes:
- Tre, the third Rider, was killed, and with his defeat the giant black cube he created disappeared. The surviving citizens of the town where it was located were evacuated, though many of them are in bad shape physically and/or mentally. Whether they will rebuild or move to another place remains to be seen.
- Fyra managed to repair her malfunctions, while remaining in full control of herself and not becoming a psychotic killer like the other Riders. Morte was also restored to his full strength as Sann Morte.
- Silon, the leader of Stigma, turned out to be the fifth Rider, Quintus - one who wants to destroy the world in order to stop his suffering from being unable to fulfill his directive of protecting his long-dead masters. The deaths of other three Riders caused him to be restored to full power! He teleported away soon after revealing those facts, and his current whereabouts are unknown.
- As it turned out, both the awakening of the Riders and their existence at all are because of the Kijin. Thanks, Seta.

The mission The Name of God was a success, despite all the complications. The log can be read here.

Participants:
Daniel
Eva Barton
Volya Alkaev
Kei Kugimiya
Astara Kellin
Grace Wallach
Roy Garnette

Notes:
-The Lone Earth terrorist group attacked the exhibition, motivated by anti-alien sentiments and Project Khnum's use of not-quite-human clones. However the assailants were quickly wiped out as another enemy used this opportunity to ambush and surround us - the Lost Seekers.
-The Lost Seekers were commanded by Greta, the Steel Legion centurion and Daniel's old boss. Her mission was to dispose of him as a traitor.
-Project Khnum cloned soldiers assisted us in a fight but proved to be of limited use, due to their unwillingness to kill humans - a weakness which the enemies ruthlessly exploited. However in the end, Chou, Eva and Volya managed to work together and break the clones' programming by using the last mote remaining of Ren's memories in Chou.
-Though his Gun of God has been broken, Daniel managed to overpower Greta and learn the third name of God in the process - at least as the Lost Seekers see it.
-Security and moral concerns ensure that Project Khnum has been pretty much cancelled indefinitely. Edward Mcdowell is not happy, not that he can do anything about it.

The mission Rules of Hospitality was completed successfully!  The complete mission log can be read here.

Participants:
Daniel
Jen Douglas
Fyra
Kei Kugimiya
Sielje

Important Notes:
- The seemingly innocent ESUN transport that we'd passed by on the way to pick up the Great Forge was in fact trying to secretly smuggle stolen Ankaian materials to Earth.  Turns out that Fumerco is not as dead as we would've hoped, having simply shuffled around assets and changed names.
- This was all revealed to us by Lady Xion the Bulwark, who also destroyed the experimental joint-technology suit.  However, Xion felt that the only way to protect Ankaia was to completely shut it off from Earth, first setting an example by killing all the transport's staff.  She fortunately mellowed out between the efforts of the Unity Group, news that the ESUN and Ankaians would be strictly inspecting everything coming into or being taken from Ankaia, and Sielje's own words and efforts.
- With all transit between Earth and Ankaia now being even more closely scrutinized and the truth now out in the open, those that wish to exploit Ankaia will likely not have much success in that front even as the legal officers of the ESUN find ways to bring them to justice.
- Sielje's beasthide dress is not just for show.

The mission Rules of Hospitality will be held tomorrow (as in Saturday, April 23rd) at 2:30 PM CDT.  Bumping back the schedule a it to try to make it as accessible for people as possible.

The canon Bolo Chronicles: Neon Genesis Tankgelion is now complete.

Participants:
Hikari Shimamura and Bahamut Metalia
Daniel
Willis Clades
Selena Recital

Notes:
-With the barriers between universes having grown exceptionally thin, the Beasts of Starmind could break through and unleash a full scale invasion - forget attacking only one town in Japan, many places around the globe were assaulted simultaneously!
-Stopping the invasion leader Paranticus would cause the rest of Beasts to stop moving, but the enemy turned out to be a powerful foe. The last resort chance of activating Metalis'a black box did nothing... but Hikari, Bahamut and others didn't give up and brought a miracle with their own hands instead.
-Unfortunately, a miracled turned out to be not enough... even with Paranticus dead, more of its kind revealed themselves. The invasion had many leaders, each just as powerful. Everything seemed lost, until...
-Until it turned out that the black box did in fact serve a function. It was a beacon, which activated brought in the group Bahamut Metalia used to be a part of - the Dinochrome Brigade, sworn enemies of Beasts of Starmind! With their arrival in large numbers and subsequent support, the day was saved!
-We have a lot of oversized friendly (and mostly non humanoid) sentient machines hanging around now. However, they will not stay on Earth for long...
