Mission "A TOTAL KARMA COMPRESSOR SYSTEM CALLED GARLAND" debrief

The mission A TOTAL KARMA COMPRESSOR SYSTEM CALLED "GARLAND" was a success! The log can be read here.

The canon Hellsinker is now complete! For real this time.

Participants:
Kagura
Hetepheres
Willis Clades
Kei Kugimiya
Mizuki Onodera

Notes:
-The underwater dome contained an ancient, reality-altering computer known as GARLAND. The giant sword was the key. Permission to access Garland was given even though we had no authorization. Perhaps kernels of the defeated PRAYERs making a brief (but friendly) reappearance had something to do with that...
-We broke the six rings that metaphysically bound GARLAND, and it was released. The computer deactivated, and with it - the threat of PRAYERs is gone forever.
-We have received "lost property", which turned out to be a cat. An ancient, talking cat. We also recovered pods with bodies of four dead children, who were used to power GARLAND. With the computer freed, they too are now finally at peace.
-Everything was weird and there are more questions raised than answered.

Mission "Pattern Recognition" debrief

The mission Pattern Recognition was completed successfully!  The complete mission log can be read here.

Combatants:
Daniel
Jen Douglas
Fyra
Grimlock and friends
Sielje

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.

Mission "Enemy" debrief

The mission Enemy was a failure. The log can be read here.

Participants:
Roy Garnette
Lenore Iblis
Asagi Toshikazu
Willis Clades

Notes:
-Unknown assailants attacked the residential area where John Dotrice was located at. Despite him moving to a safe house, he has been abducted - as the attackers' leader demonstrated an ability to use wormholes to teleport.
-Roy's Wagner has taken really serious damage, right after being repaired. Due to location and the enemies' lack of concern for collateral damage, there were civilian casualties as well.
-Following Dotrice's abduction, a pre-recorded message prepared by him earlier was played in Wagner's cockpit. According to it, a powerful psychic entity known as Dakova is contained on Erria, and mentally affected all of its people. The conference was going to address the point of Dakova's containment, but something happening to Dotrice means the creature already may have made its move...

Mission "Royal Rumble" debrief

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

The canon Runaway Princess Bride is now complete!

Participants:
Peola Nelfess
Raniiya Arian
Bryanne Eriksen
Dido Sybil
Eva Barton
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.

Mission "What Lies Ahead" debrief

The mission formerly known as "Count Down" (turns out that's what Aero named the last SRW Z mission too)/now officially What Lies Ahead was a success, opening up a whole bunch of revelations!  The complete log can be read here.

Combatants:
Willis Clades
Setsuko Ohara
Walt Schmertz
Skald Scogkattson
Elys Soleil
Dido Sybil
Ken Torao
Asagi Toshikazu

Important Notes:
- The Unity Group responded to another distress signal from an SSR member, this time Rand Travis who'd come under attack near a medical camp.  The attackers?  None other than alternate versions of Toby and Denzel, who blamed him and Setsuko for drawing them to this world.
- Setsuko was still able to safely disable the machines without harming either of them, and in the aftermath the man responsible for this came out once again: Asakim Dowin, still alive and still being an ass.  Lowen also showed up to help us defeat the asshole again... only to suddenly turn around and attack Setsuko instead revealing himself to be a massive misogynistic asshole.  And not just him, it turned out that Chimera'd been bad guys all along, and working with the Black Charisma.
- This revelation caused a strong reaction in Setsuko, awakening her Sphere and putting her in a trance as Asakim put it before he left, leaving Lowen, Shuran, and Xine to try to kill us.  Joining them were two old friends of Willis who had thrown in their lot with Chimera as well, nearly killing Toby and Denzel if not for Elys seemingly sacrificing herself.
- Fortunately, the quintet were driven off and Elys is... clearly able to somehow survive being crushed very thoroughly.  But Chimera has some sort of broadcast planned soon, and the jury's still out on what exactly happened to Setsuko.

Mission "The Successor" debrief

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

Participants:
Astara Kellin
Lenore Iblis
Kei Kugimiya
Asagi Toshikazu
Roy Garnette
"Ben"

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.

Mission "Speak No Lie" debrief

The mission Speak No Lie was a success. The log can be read here.

Participants:
Sielje
Mizuki Onodera
Kei Kugimiya
Grace Wallach
Kagura
Elys Soleil

Notes:
- The huge Gargantua beast turned out to be a trap, laid out by a band of Ankaian knights from Ishin's faction, led by Lady Beldyn the Sword of Truth and Lord Merwyd the Arms Master. However, thanks to the assistance of Sielje's friends, the battle was won, and the monster, Beldyn and Merwyd were slain, while the remnants of their force surrendered.
- Unsurprisingly, Fumerco turned out to be a puppet of Lord Ishin the Fated all along, who killed the corporation's president when he was no longer useful, and then proclaimed himself the future king of Earth. Currently his whereabouts are unknown.
- In the aftermath of the fight, a portal-opening device was found in the Fumerco HQ.
- Gargantua caused some damage to one area of the South East Asian Sprawl, but luckily no civilian casualties thanks to a hasty evacuation and Unity Group's interference.
- Sielje has lots of emotional baggage. Even more than we thought, that is.

Mission "Bahamut Metallia! Roar!" debrief

The mission Bahamut Metallia!  Roar! was completed successfuly.  The complete log can be read here.

Combatants:
Ashe
Grimlock and Friends
Neptune
Alexis and Sasha Kaidonovksy
Hikaru Shimamura
Asagi Toshikazu
Chris Yukine

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.

Mission "A Place Of Forgetting, A Time Of Remembering" debrief

The mission A Place of Forgetting, A Time of Remembering was completed successfuly... though with a bit of collateral.  The mission log can be read here.

Combatants:
Eva Barton
Calvin Eldred Edwards
Izuru Hitachi
Walt Schmertz
Asagi Toshikazu

Important Notes:
- Freddy Angel used the Casaba Howitzer to blow open the seal on a massive underground facility in Alaska, which had been used during the Pedantic Blue program to cast away its unwanted and unneeded subjects.  The only thing remaining from that time turned out to be Eva's mother Samantha as well as the humongous robot: the Storm Petrel.  Their goal was to strike back at those they felt they needed to in the name of vengeance for the Pedantic Blue Project.
- The Petrel used a very powerful, but also radioactive, fuel source to allow high-speed movement... such that if it'd been given a chance to escape the facility then severe ecological damage would've followed.  It came close to that when Freddy Angel sacrificed himself to transport the gigantic machine to the surface, but fortunately everyone was able to disable it in time.
- At the battle's end, Eva chose to have a physical reunion with her mother, allowing her to finally move on from this world after sustaining herself for nineteen years on pure willpower alone.  Though a very heartfelt moment, Eva now needs to be treated for radiation sickness.  The Storm Petrel's Nuclear salt-water exhaust is not a laughing matter, missy!
- With all of the rogue psychics dead and all its dirty secrets exposed to the proper authorities, the literal and figurative ghosts of the past have been laid to rest.  Pedantic Blue's research will be put to use the only acceptable way: serving as a benchmark to make sure nobody tries to do the same thing again.

Mission "Conquest" debrief

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

Participants:
Fyra
Calvin Eldred Edwards
Daniel
Baron Archibald von Whiskers
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.

Mission "The Quick and the Dead" debrief

The mission The Quick and the Dead was an unfortunate failure.  The bad guys got away with everything they wanted so yeah.  Mission log can be read here.

Combatants:
Daniel
Jen Douglas (DIRTY ROTTEN TRAITOR)
Peola Nelfess and friends
Grace Wallach
Chris Yukine

Important Notes:
- While we were planning to attack Sapphire Eyes' headquarters, she struck first, attacking the city of Cumberland, MD instead.  Turns out this place was Grace's hometown, and it was all just a plan to draw her out.
- VIPER was also working with her, using the confusion to steal nuclear fuel and also try to recruit our members.  Everyone refused easily, except for Jen to turned traitor on us!  Onore Jen.
- Sapphire Eyes had some weird stuff going on, wanting to "become one" with Grace and revealed all this craziness on her end was also due to a time machine which Grace had become the "key" to.  After some weird stuff and time rewinding, Sapphire Eyes has gained the power too and used it to kill Westwood... though Grace subsequently rewound time so Westwood came back to life.
- Sapphire Eyes and the VIPER leaders all got away, all aside from the Julia lady who'd died previously.  Turns out she has tons of clones so even that's not much of a victory.

Mission "The Road of Trials" debrief

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

Participants:
Walt Schmerz
Fyra
Bryanne Eriksen
Raniiya Arian
Ashe
Dido Sybil
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.

Mission "Do You Remember Love?" debrief

The mission Do You Remember Love? was a success! The log can be read here.

The canons Transformers the Movie and SDF Macross are both complete!

Participants:
Captain Bruno J. Gloval and the Macross bridge crew
The Autobots - including Optimus Prime
Selena Recital
Hetepheres
Willis Clades
"Ben" - totally not Hayao Kakizaki
Lenore Iblis
Dido Sybil

Notes:
-During the great battle, the Macross and Unity Group's plan was to attack from the flank, making it for Unicron (who turned into a humanoid form in the meantime) first. SSR was assisting as well. Apparently their members include Lenore, the Kijin met as an enemy; and someone who is totally not Kakizaki with memory loss.
-After securing an entrance into Unicron, it turned out he is using converted Cybertronians as minions. Megatron was one of them - or rather, Galvatron. He had regained command of the Decepticons, as well as the Matrix of Leadership.
-The Matrix opened, its power reviving Optimus Prime. With his help we managed to defeat Galvatron and destroy Unicron from within.
-The Boddole Zer fleet, distracted by Unicron's destruction, was throw into chaos when a special Protoculture-inspired song was played at them. This managed the Earth defensive forces to push and gain an upper hand despite being much smaller in size.
-Britai's flagship shot a hole into the Boddole Zer which allowed Macross and the UG entrance. Quamjin/Kamjin the Ally Killer appeared, but with the help of Max and Milia he was fought off.
-In the end, Lord Bodolza was killed and his flagship destroyed from within by the Macross's force field bubble. With the death of their leader, the Zentradi folded away, as far from Earth Sphere as possible. Their return seems unlikely, as the most likely fleet split into a large number of much smaller forces.
-Despite casualties suffered by the defense force, morale is very high.

Mission "RESHAPE ONESELF FOR ONCOMING ASPIRANTS" debrief

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.

Combatants
Hetepheres
Kagura
Kei Kugimiya
Sielje

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.

The canon Sacred 40 is now completed!

Participants:
Alexandra de Witt
Calvin Eldred Edwards
Roger Smith
Theodore Perdurabo
Eva Barton
Grace Wallach
Fyra
Mizuki Onodera

Notes:
-For once, retrieval of one of Calvin's artifacts went off without incident. However once we were prepared to take off, Enlil appeared to challenge us, the Arabian Peninsula being home to the ancient city of Nippur and thus his domain.
-The Ebon Court appeared but helped us fight Enlil - once he was (as future events would show, only temporarily) defeated, Maloz offered to duel for the artifact's possession.
-The duel was interrupted by Enlil's reappearance and Lucine going berserk. The latter is something that may happen to all members of the Ebon Court, apparently. Unfortunately there was nothing to be done but kill her.
-Theo (re?)acquired the Cross of Sinners, a potent weapon to fight gods.
-In the end, Enlil was defeated by Alex as she and Enki used Nippur's waters to create a fusion bomb. Before his death, Enlil warned us that something is coming - lured by humanity's presence, it seeks its destruction...
-As it turned out, Alex did survive the explosion! Though she is in a severe condition right now and Enki is gone. Maloz didn't survive the encounter - critically wounded, he decided to be killed in a duel rather than let Lucine's state take over him as well.
-As for the OSI, well... (See Calvin post)

Mission "Shatter" debrief

The mission Shatter was completed successfully.  The complete log can be read here.

Combatants:
Eva Barton
Willis Clades
Hitachi Izuru
Leos Klein
Kei Kugimiya
Dido Sybil
Kentaro Torao
Asagi Toshikazu

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.

Mission "SPIRIT==OVERLOAD" debrief

The mission SPIRIT==OVERLOAD was a failure. The log can be read here

Participants:
Kagura
Hetepheres
Walt Schmertz
Calvin Eldred Edwards
Roy Garnette

Notes:
-The dome turned out to house a familiar (for people who were in a Shaft before) environment, with a giant garden - and an enormous sword in the center. It was also defended by a swarm of drones and two PRAYERs.
-Once Quiet Minstrel and Glorious Symbol were defeated, the last guardian of the place - Rex Cavalier, came out. It turned out to be both the largest and most powerful of all PRAYERs encountered so far.
-During the fight we received several cryptic messages from either the PRAYERs or whomever created them. They were not receptive to any kind of response.
-In the end it turns out, it was all a trap. Kagura was lured in to be turned into a PRAYER. She decided to suicide herself on Rex Cavalier, going out in an explosion rather than allowing herself to be converted.
-We were forced to evacuate from the dome, so its mysteries still remain unexplored. And high chances are, the PRAYERs will return soon unless something is done with it.

The mission Where the Signs Lead was a success, despite massive complications! The log can be read here.

Participants:
Hibiki Tachibana
Rock "Mega Man" Light
Ashe
Kei Kugimiya
Jen Douglas
Daniel

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!

The story of Best Face of Humanity is now concluded.

Participants:

Notes:
- A group of Kin, overwhelmed by hate, took a trip from the future to our times - without a Conduit to guide them, they were twisted into horrible,  mindless beasts. We managed to destroy them, however, thanks to some unexpected help...
- During the mission Ren appeared to aid Unity Group in the form of a glowing giant. See mission log for details on how and why that happened.
- Ren's time was limited, but before disappearing they gave us words of hope and encouragement, trusting that Unity Group's actions mean that the bad future from which the Kin originate won't happen. Also this happened.

Mission "Break" debrief

The mission Break was an unfortunate failure. The mission log can be read here.

Combatants:
Eva Barton
Willis Clades
Leos Klein (on the other guys' side though)
Setsuko Ohara
Ken Torao
Asagi Toshikazu
Alexandra de Witt

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.
