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)

Gotterdammerung

One of the artifacts the Ebon Court was interested in was located. Surprisingly, retrieval happens without incident. But the aftermath itself takes a turn beyond all expectations...

The mission A Fistful of Dollars was a victory. The log can be read here.

Participants:
Alex de Witt

Raquel Manora
Fyra

Notes:
-The Fleet of Batavia was attacked by a joint force of Vlaams Leger and Sapphire Eyes' mercenaries. The former wanted to force Alex into helping them, the latter - Grace and her mobile suit.
-Vlaams Leger tried to use Alexandra's father as leverage, but we managed to save him. Their leader, Pieter de Klerk, was killed in action, and the whole organisation is as good as gone now.
-Sapphire Eyes got her hand on Grace's Daughtress (by killing its new owner, to whom Grace sold the mobile suit), but her efforts to lure Grace out by attacking a local orphanage were stopped by the con woman herself, who managed to befriend the orphans in the meantime.
-Two Sumerian gods, Ishtar and Ninurtu, appeared on the battlefield, but we forced them to withdraw. Unfortunately this means their leader Enlil knows all his minions have failed, and will take matters in his own hands...
-The Fleet suffered serious damage during combat, with several ships sunk and its security force obliterated.
-We managed to save half of Grace's mobile suit, the other half taken by Sapphire Eyes. Since we were in a hurry, Westwood keeps an eye on it for now.

A Fistful of Dollars

The Fleet of Batavia - a merchant fleet where rumors say anything can be sold or bought. A person who knows something about Grace's glyphs may supposedly be found here. Yet, it is also our presence here that draws danger on Batavia, danger coming from more than one direction.

The mission Crazy Little Thing was a bittersweet success. The log can be read here.

The canon Best Face of Humanity is now complete.

Participants:
Ren Ubuntu
Alexandra de Witt
Eva Barton
Volya Alkaev
Seta Albreich
Astara Kellin
Kagura

Notes:
- The Kin leader Hen was killed. However, their death caused Chou to open a time-space rift into the future, which was used by many Kin to enter our time.
- Ren performed a sacrifice, disappearing in the process and sharing all of their memories with the other Kin. This caused them to realize the gravity of their actions and stop fighting. What we'll do with them, remains to be seen.
- The surviving members of the Vlaams Leger attack force managed to flee Brussels. They failed to assassinate the royal family or obtain the amulet of Enki, and all of the hostages they took were rescued safely.
- A large part of the national fine arts museum in Brussel and many surrounding buildings suffered damage during the fight. Evacuation efforts meant the only casualties happened during the assassination attempt before Unity Group entered the field, at least. Hopefully this is the end of problems for Brussels and nothing bad will happen in the city in the near future.

Crazy Little Thing

An incident happens in Brussels - members of Vlaams Leger fail to assassinate the royal family and hole up in a museum, with hostages. The situation quickly takes a turn for the more complicated as it turns out they're not the only force at work here...

Slimy Things Did Crawl

The end of the past year and the start of the new one was not all fun, games, and celebrations, as marked by an attempt on the Belgian royal family.  Though thwarted, it has led to a stand-off with the Vlaams Leger terrorists... and in doing so provided a different sort of target...

Blind Game

The return trip of SDF Macross is almost over! The ship waits in a debris field, making final preparations to enter Earth's atmosphere. But the preparations are interrupted as enemies find them! And among all this, an ancient, greedy beast appears...

Canon: SDF Macross, Sacred 40

This is Howe... and everyone?  We have a situation.

In the wake of the incident with Asag, we were approached by a Belgian archaeologist by the name of Adèle Romilly.  The presence of Enki and Asag has certainly sparked new interest in trying to interpret and learn from Mesopotamian texts and ruins, and Romilly offered her services to us to help make sense of what had happened and if there was any chance of dealing with more on that front.

Not even an hour ago we received a distress signal from Adèle and her associates from a dig they were at.  It was cut short by a gunshot, but the speaker still managed to mention terrorists attacking.

There hasn't been any word since, either from the scientists or whomever struck.  It might've been a massacre or they may just be letting our imaginations get the better of us before dropping a line.  They might not even know who the message was sent to.  But we can't play guessing games.  Everyone who can, gear up.  If there are lives to save, we're going to save them.  If there aren't, we can at least avenge them.

Combatants:
Seta Albriech
Setsuko Ohara
Roger Smith
Alexandra de Witt

We have room for up to four more combatants.

Among The Ruins

The appearance and battle against Asag turns out to be groundbreaking in more ways than one.  With certain myths now potentially true in at least one way or another, a number of scholars and archaeologists flock to ancient ruins to see what new secrets they may have overlooked.  Unfortunately, others still see this as a chance to bolster their own forces with ancient superweapons, and the Unity Group's called in to intervene...

Characters: Alexandra de Witt, any seven combatants
Type:  Planned
Setting: Ancient Mesopotamian ruins
Schedule: This mission can take place either Monday, September 29th or Tuesday, September 30th.  If you would like to participate, please post below with your preferred date and times.
