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.

Due to outside circumstances, the mission cannot take place on the date it was scheduled for. Instead it is being moved - same hour as before (11 AM CDT/4 PM GMT), just a different day. The day is Sunday September 6th, or alternatively Monday September 7th.

If you'd like to participate in this mission, please respond below, noting which of the two dates are available for you, and if both - which do you prefer. My apologies for the inconvenience.
Dire peril threatens the Earth Sphere as enemies of giant proportions approach - not only is the Zentradi Boddole Zer fleet here, its ships uncountable, but the galactic planet-eater Unicron appears as well. Both of them have a clear goal, and humanity won't live through its completion.

The key to survival lies not in military force - but in a daring and unconventional plan...

The mission A Diplomat in Jest was a success. The log can be read here

Participants:
Captain Bruno J. Gloval + Macross bridge crew
Selena Recital and Albhard Bailaran
Cobray Gordon
Hetepheres
Ataru Suruga
Calvin Eldred Edwards
Walt Schmertz

Notes:
-The advance part of the GDF fleet has been attacked by Balmarians and Zentradi simultaneously. The attack has been repelled and the journey towards the Wulgaru gate continues.
-The Balmarian fleet commander Ephesus Gozzo asked Earth to become allies/slaves of Balmar under unacceptable conditions. He also mentioned an enemy of Balmar who was on the run and hid on Earth. The enemy's identity remains unknown.
-Calico McCready is still alive. Cobray turned out to be his clone, a Balmarian soldier named Ayin Barshem. This explains why he could use the Wildschwein, as Calico himself was a clone of Major Ingram Plisken.
-Cobray is using the Werkbau now, which appeared out of nowhere as if to answer his calls. There seems to be a strange reaction that somehow occurs whenever he pilots it...
-Not all Zentradi are hostile towards us, as a Zentradi boarding party seemed to consist mostly of those of them who wanted to peacefully flee to Macross. As well as a commander who decided to kill them, but was stopped.
-Max Jenius has a Zentradi girlfriend. Somehow it happened.
-Albhard gave up his life to allow us to destroy Ephesus' Zehirut, more powerful than the one inside Meteor-3. This leaves Selena the sole survivor of her squad, not counting Elma.
The mission Diplomat in Jest will be held on Sunday at 10 AM CDT/3 PM GMT - roughly 17 hours from the time of this posting.

Participants:
Captain Bruno J. Gloval + the rest of Macross bridge crew
Selena Recital
Cobray Gordon
Hetepheres

There is a lot of place for other participants.
A Diplomat in Jest

A Balmarian fleet appears from the Crossgate - and it turns out its commander wants to talk. The siuation becomes more complicated as Zentradi join in as well.

The mission Burst Point was a near-total disaster, though not quite.

The complete mission log can be read here.

Combatants:
Russel Bagman
Hayato Kakizaki
Hetepheres
Leos Klein and friends
The Macross crew
Ren Ubuntu

Important Notes:
- The SDF's attempt at offloading civilians in independent Quebec was not meant to be, on account of both a Zentraedi attack and then when the Macross's barrier system overloaded.  Though the damage was minimized as much as the ESUN forces could manage, the Macross is now under a great deal of scrutiny.

The mission Burst Point will be happening tomorrow, Sunday the 29th, at 7 PM CDT.

Combatants:
Hayao Kakizaki (presumably)
The Macross bridge crew
Some Cubey character

There is still a lot of room available for other characters
Burst Point

A potential solution to the civilian issue on the SDF Macross makes itself known when a non-ESUN city offers to take them off their hand.  But when the Zentradi attack, tragedy unfolds...

Characters: Captain Bruno J. Gloval, Hayao Kakizaki, up to 7 other combatants
Type: Spontaneous
Setting: A city not affiliated with the ESUN.

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

Participants:
Captain Gloval
Hayao Kakizaki
Ashe
Roger Smith
Mizuki Onodera
Dido Sybil
Russel Bagman
Peola Nelfess

Notes:
-While a protest was going on, Macross was attacked by Zentradi - including a new unit type, the commander of which was fixated on the VF ace Max Jenius.
-At the same time, the city's dock area came under attack by Megaman Thetis, who used lives of people murdered in the assault to power up Model W.
-The enemies were repelled and Ashe received the ability to transform into Thetis and Chronoforce forms. Peola spared one of the Zentradi soldiers, though to what effect if any - we cannot be sure yet.
-Unfortunately the fight resulted in significant loss of life for the locals. The Macross protesters on the other hand were mostly unharmed. Their leader, Lynn Kaifun, does not seem any more grateful than before.
-Regalis Filia was critically damaged.
The mission Overload will be held in 11 hours from the time of this posting, at 10 PM CST, Friday January 16th.

Participants:
Captain Bruno J. Gloval and the Macross Bridge Crew
Hayao Kakizaki
Ashe (probably)
Mizuki Onodera
Roger Smith

There's plenty of place for more people. See you on the mission.
Unfortunately Corel is unavailable for missions at the moment and because of that we will be running a different mission than planned:

Overload

As Macross is floating near the docks of a coastal city, it comes under attack. Certain elements on board don't like that - and they are very quick to let us know in the most obstructive manner possible!

Canon: SDF Macross, possibly Megaman ZXAdvent
Characters: The Macross bridge crew, Hayao Kakizaki, Ashe (if Drascin can make it), up to 6 other characters
Type: Spontaneous
Setting: Port of a North American coastal city (Atlantic, so no kaiju)
Schedule: This mission will happen on Saturday January 17th at 5 AM CST. Alternatively it may be scheduled for Friday January 16th at 10 PM CST, or Saturday January 17th at 6:30 PM CST.
EDIT: This mission will happen on Friday January 16th at 10 PM CST. If you'd like to participate, please respond below.
The mission "Blind Game" ended in a complicated situation. The mission log can be read here.

Participants:
Bruno Gloval + Bridge Bunnies
Hayao Kakizaki
Alexandra de Witt
Ren Ubuntu
Peola Nelfes

Important Notes:
-Several people, including Misa Hayase and Hayao Kakizaki, were kidnapped by the Zentraedi for unknown purposes! The Macross postpones its return to Earth for a short period, until they are rescued.
- The Macross' sensors were heavily damaged. They have to be repaired before any kind of rescue operation is possible.
- Enlil has more than just one champion in his fight against Enki. The implications are not good.
The mission Operation Doll will take place on Friday October 31st, 8 AM CDT.

Participants:
Bruno Gloval + Bridge Bunnies
Hayao Kakizaki (presumably)
Alexandra de Witt (likely late arrival)
Ren Ubuntu

There's still lots of free room left, so if you're interested, respond!
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
Characters: Bruno Gloval + crew, Hayao Kakizaki, Alexandra de Witt, up to 5 other characters

Participants:
Banjou Haran
Bruno Gloval + crew
Hayao Kakizaki
Izuru Hitachi
Ataru Suruga
Peola Nelfes
Russel Bagman

Important Notes:
- All of the people kidnapped by the Meganoids, Beauty included, have been rescued safely.
- We captured a Death Battle. The uses for the Meganoid battleship are either limited or infinite, depending on how insane you are.
- Macross managed to obtain some much-needed military supplies from the base on Mars before it was forced to escape into space.
- Someone should probably talk to Misa about her past trauma.

The mission Beauty, Poem of the Beloved  will take place on Friday, July 25th, at 7 PM CST.

Lineup
Haran Banjou
Captain Gloval + bridge bunnies
Hayao Kakizaki
Ataru Suruga
Izuru Hitachi
Peola Nelfes
Seta Albreich (tentatively)

There's room for 1-2 more people.
Beauty, Poem of the Beloved

A Death Battle (Meganoid battleship) has been capturing transport ships in space recently. Banjou and company investigate... But while they do so, Beauty gets kidnapped as well!
The Death Battle was last seen around a wrecked UN Spacy base on Mars. The potential supplies in that place, which the Macross has been running low on recently, provide an additional incentive to investigate...

Canon: Daitarn 3, SDF Macross
Characters: Haran Banjou, Captain Gloval, Hayao Kakizaki, up to 5 others
Type:  Planned.

Participants:
Ultraman Zero
Captain Bruno J. Gloval and the rest of Macross crew
Hayao Kakizaki
Flit Asuno
Raquel Manora
Willis Clades
Shu Shirakawa
Garrod Ran

Notes:
-Nao and his older brother Ran were rescued by the Macross. They fight against forces of Kaiser Belial, and Ran's body is currently borrowed by Ultraman Zero. But don't worry, he's friendly.
-Macross can apparently transform into a kinda-humanoid form. Between battle damage and the transformation's side effects, parts of Macross City were destroyed. But it's better then the alternative, which would result in the ship's total annihilation.
-Gundam AGE was stolen by a young boy named Desil who took it out on a giant alien-stabbing joyride. He has returned it safely, AGE Device included. Desil's current whereabouts are a mystery.
-Macross's journey towards Earth continues.
The mission will happen tonight at 5 PM CDT. In other words, in 12 hours.

Participants:
Captain Gloval and the bridge bunnies (a good name for a band)
Hayao Kakizaki (maybe?)
Ultraman Zero
Flit Asuno (possibly late)
Cathy and Liz Butler
A Corel character
Garrod Ran
Raquel Manora
Ataru Suruga

All slots are taken, there are no reserves.
Blinded by the Light

As it moves through deep space, Macross picks up a distress signal! A ship crashed on an asteroid requires assistance, and now that they learnt of the signal as well, the giant alien enemies cannot be too far behind. To make matters more complicated, Gundam AGE deploys - but Flit is not the pilot...

The mission Booby Trap... sorta happened, circumstances getting really weird in the end but Earth is safe for another day.  The log can be read here.

Participants
Russel Bagman
Yancy and Raleigh Beckett
Wilis Clades
Hetepheres
Izuru Hitachi
Hayao Kakizaki
The Macross Crew
Ataru Suruga

Important Notes
- Another alien race has introduced themselves to the Earth Sphere.  Although we technically shot first, Hetepheres has stated this race is extremely violent and a bitter enemy of the Gebians, and we would've had to fight them anyways.  They're made up of giant humans and even though their machines are individually pretty frail, their numbers and the firepower their warships possess mean they're another serious threat.  The aliens have since retreated but we'll have to be on guard for when they return.
- The SDF Macross, due to malfunctioning equipment, is stranded near Uranus along with South Ataria Island and its population.  Fortunately, the TSEN teleporters onboard provide the Unity Group a means of transporting pilots, supplies, and machines to and from the ship.  The jury's still out on transporting the civilians though.
- Gipsy Danger's going to need repairs to its back and right arm, along with minor repairs to its feet.  Marshal Pentecost'll probably be glad it's not just gone up in smoke though.
The mission Booby Trap is set to take place at 6:30 Central today.

Participants
Russel Bagman
The Becket Boys
May Greenfield
Izuru Hitachi
Hayao Kakizaki
The Macross Crew
Ataru Suruga

Room for one more if anyone wants in.

Booby Trap

After ten years of development, research, and repairs, the UN Spacey's treasured SDF Macross is finally poised to take to the skies and space itself.  This should be cause for celebration... but unfortunately such a mysterious ship carries more than a few skeletons in its closet.

Canons: SDF Macross
Characters: The Macross crew, Hayao Kakizaki, any seven pilots
Type: Spontaneous
Setting: South Ataria Island in the Pacific Ocean
Schedule: The mission will take place on Friday, May 2nd at 6:30 PM CST.  If you would like to participate, please post below.
