The mission The Day Earth Stood Still was a success! The log can be read here.

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...

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

Participants:
Hikari Shimamura
Daniel
Elyssa Soleil
Jen Douglas
Roy Garnette

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.

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.
