SRW Unification OOC Comm

The mission Another Disorder was a success. The log can be read here.

Participants:
Flit Asuno
Leos Klein
Eva Barton
Asagi Toshikazu
Seta Albreich
Hikaru Shimamura

Notes:
-The ancient vault which we went to investigate turned out to have been opened and tampered with in the past already. We also faced the ancient Disorder Units, acting as its guardians.
-Nine-Ball turned out to still exist as the final tomb of the guardian was one of its forms, Nine-ball SID.
-Nine-Ball revealed much: the failed Martian colonization effort was deliberate on its part in order to procure easily guided servants to act as protectors - the Vagans. All in order to guard the artifact present, and await the return of its creators.
-Nine-Ball's creators were ancient civilizations, the same ones that fought the Lady. This was told to us by a message left by the other person who managed to infiltrate the vault a long time ago - Haran Souzou, the creator of Meganoids and Banjou's deceased father.
-Leos Klein managed to interface with Nine-Ball SID. Having received a message of our intentions, Nine-Ball acknowledged the return and allowed the artifact to be retrieved. It has since shut down - most likely, for good.
-The artifact in question is an ancient computing device, the "brain" of the Discovery of Self. Though somewhat damaged, it is still operational. Leos is commended for help in its retrieval, but due to his actions in the past he has to return to the facility he's being kept at... though perhaps, people will view him a little less harshly now.
-Vagan children are annoying.

Ancient Disorder

An artifact needed for Discovery of Self's reconstruction lies in an incredibly old Martian facility. In order to access it, we have no choice but to use services of the only man left alive who had firsthand contact with ancient technology of Mars...

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.

Unity Group, we have a situation.  I've figured out what Leos has gone after and... it's not good.

I've been trying to study and datamine the derelict ship we recovered last year as much as possible... and what's been uncovered isn't good.  The Martian moon of Phobos... according to what we've found thanks to the ship... It's not a moon, it's a battle station.  Derived from the same technology that the Nineball was born from.

I know it sounds crazy but... that moon is now missing from its orbit around Mars.

Shatter

Leos Klein returns to the Earth Sphere, intent on seeing things through to the end... and leaving as big an impact on Earth as the stars will let him.

Canon: Armored Core (finale for realsies)
Characters: Leos Klein, up to eight other combatants
Type: Planned
Setting: In space, both around and inside the Martian moon Phobos
Schedule: This mission will happen Tuesday, August 25th at 2:30 PM CDT.

Estimated mission length: 3.5-4 hours.

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.

Break

This his intentions declared, Leos Klein has set his sights on the STAI Battleship, a comparatively new and untested -but deadly- weapon of war.  And with radicals and extremists flocking to his banner, he may just have the strength to take it.

Canon: Armored Core
Characters: Leos Klein, any seven combatants
Type: Planned
Setting: In and around the STAI Battleship
Schedule: This mission will take place Saturday, August 8th at 6 PM CDT.  If you would like to participate, please post below.

Expected length: 3-3.5 hours.

The mission Time to Grow Up was a success. The log can be read here.

The canon Armored Core is now complete!

Participants:
Leos Klein
Eva Barton
Izuru Hitachi
Ken Torao
Selena Recital and Albhard Bailaran
Hayao Kakizaki
Willis Clades

Notes:
- The hidden facility we went to housed a Nineball production plant, and a hostile AI that was the true creator of the corporations and Raven's Nest. All of that was destroyed when the facility self-destructed.
- Lana Nielsen was killed in action. It's uncertain was she really the AI's puppet, her own person, or something in between.
- The discovery of the truth is bound to shake the situation regarding various organizations, but only time will tell what exactly will happen.

Time to Grow Up

Lana Nielsen goes missing. She leaves only a set of coordinates behind, and a message:

"There is a hidden factory at the coordinates I've left you. You all are the only people that know of it now. I am waiting there.
Scientists attacked... Nineball continues to live, in and out of the Arena even after death...Do you think you've figured it all out?
Come meet me to see if you're right."

Canon: Armored Core (CANON FINALE)
Characters: Leos Klein, up to 7 other characters
Type: Planned.
Setting: Inside a secret facility.
Schedule: This mission will take place on Friday January 9th at 7:30 AM CST - let me know if that's too early or late. If you'd like to participate, please respond below.

Against all odds, the mission The Pardoner was a full success! The log can be read here.

Participants:
Leos Klein
Yuuya Bridges + Argos Flight
Hetepheres
Kentaro Torao
Russel Bagman
Walt Schmertz
Albhard Bailaran (without Selena for a change)

Important notes:
-The joint Lady's Good Men and Hustler One attack on Progtech HQ has been stopped. The enemy took hostages but they all have been rescued.
-Hustler One was killed. Mortally wounded by Leos, he nevertheless had Nine-Ball attack one last time - an attack which was stopped by an intervention of an unknown black unit. No, not Shurouga this time.
-The Lady's Good Men leader Melech Traumbauer was also slain in action, and his unit Papaver was destroyed.
-Loni Gavin's FightSaber lost its flaming chainsaw sword, while Desta's ShotSaber was heavily damaged by Papaver and Ilinka's Gespenst was used as a hostage. The trio does not feel too good about it.
-Both the Progtech R&D chief Elan Cubis and the inventor of TSEN, Professor Claude Dupond, were present in the HQ and have important things to tell us.

The Pardoner

Progtech HQ is under heavy attack! Could it be that our well-known enemies are after important researchers who recently transferred there?

Canon: Armored Core, SRWU
Characters: Leos Klein, up to 7 other combatants
Type: Spontaneous
Setting: Corporate facility
Schedule: This mission will occur on Wednesday October 29th, 7 PM CST (or 8 PM CDT - remember that Europe is on winter time already, but the US isn't and uses daylights savings time). If you'd like to participate, please respond below.

The mission Keep Away was a success - but unfortunately not everything went as we hoped for. The log can be read here.

Participants:
Leos Klein
Mizuki Onodera
Dido Sybil
Kentaro Torao
Hetepheres
Eva Barton
Yuuya Bridges + Argos Flight

Notes:
-A precious PROGTECH data container was stolen by two Ravens, who were killed in action and we retrieved the corp's property. What motivated the Ravens was unknown.
-Sara was retrieved safely! That's the good news. The bad news is that she willingly betrayed us to become an Indalph.
-Sara fled after personally witnessing (read: being beaten by) the effects of Ken's improvised martial technique.
-Leos retrieved a non-functional KARASAWA plasma rifle. If repaired, it could be a very powerful weapon.

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 mission Hide and Seek will be held tomorrow (as in Friday),  at 6:30 PM Central time.

Combatants:

Room for one more if anyone wants in.

Hide and Seek

Another mysterious enemy makes its presence known, launching an attack on an allied PROGTECH base and prompting a Unity Group rescue operation.  Fortunately they seem to be just another Earth-based group... unfortunately that doesn't make them any less dangerous or the stakes any less severe.

Canon: Armored Core
Characters: Leis Klein, any seven combatants
Type: Spontaneous
Setting: Around an aquatic PROGTECH  base
Scheduling: This mission can either take place Wednesday, July 9th or Friday, July 11th.  If neither of these days work, please post your available days for the week of the 13th, just to be on the safe side

[It happens in less than a minute: without warning suddenly a gigantic, cylindrical tower is right there, out in the open in the outskirts of the city.  A Shaft... that which a PRAYER comes from... and in spite of the tremendous low probability of one appearing near a population center... it just did.]

Well, well... of all the places in all the countries in all of the world, it just happened to materialize here.  For those of you who haven't looked outside, if you gaze off to the east you will see our fair city has obtained a new, and rather unfortunately dangerous landmark.

I have already spoken with our liasons with the Executors, and things are about as open and shut as can be.  Our lovely killbot Kagura has it in her power to destroy Shafts and the PRAYERs permanently, so all we have need of is to send her and a small team to destroy it, while the rest of us and the local police help maintain order and help evacuate endangered areas in the city.

Time is of the essence; the operation begins in one hour.

Okay, OOCly the mission AN AWESOME PRAYER IS CONFLICT WITH US begins tomorrow at 6:15 PM Central time.

Combatants:
Toshikazu Asagi (tentatively)
Kagura
Leos Klein
Kanae Ootori Gargantua the Moving Mountain
Izuru Hitachi

Got room for two more combatants if anyone wants in.

AN AWESOME PRAYER IS CONFLICT WITH US

It's that time again!  A Shaft materializes not too far away from the Sakihama Base and the surrounding city, and although this means a lot of people are endangered, it also means we'll be able to react all the sooner in what should be an open-and-shut mission.  Unfortunately, a certain individual with more skill than sense seeks to capitalize on the crisis, attracting unforseen elements to the operation.

Canon: Armored Core 1, Hellsinker
Characters: Leos Klein, Kagura, any six combatants
Type: Planned (but not yet)
Setting: In the outer regions of the city
Schedule: Okay people, Monday is the only day that works for this an both required characters are cool with this.  However, the starting time for this mission isn't set in stone so please post your preferred choices for that below.
