The mission Staring Into Thee was a success. The log can be read here.

The canon "Staring Into The" is now completed!

Participants:
Roy Garnette
Astara Kellin
Asagi Toshikazu
Eva Barton
Lenore Iblis

Notes:
-Beatrice Willson tried to forcibly take over the world through mind control. Following her psychic signal we appeared at a psionically stealthed abandoned colony "Panopticon"... where it turned out Dakova is not quite dead, having been revived and controlled by the SCCF leader.
-Though the opponent was overpowering, Roy took John Dotrice's legacy to heart and created an opening at a cost of great damage to himself and te Wagner. In the end, Dakova was relieved that it could have died for real.
-Beatrice survived and was captured. The SCCF is truly gone, and its leader will receive judgement for her crimes by a lawful court.
-The Panopticon was destroyed by the lava cannon used by VIPER. By the time of the debriefing, VIPER was defeated as well - which means the Cambio Protocol is finally neutralized. For good.
The mission Staring Into Thee will happen on Saturday June 18th, at 9 AM CDT.

Participants:
Roy Garnette
Eva Barton
A Corel character
Astara Kellin

More slots are available if anyone else wants to join in. See you there.
The mission was hard to schedule and I realize this time won't work for everyone. That's the best we can do, though.

Staring Into Thee

All out of sudden, an insidious large-scale activity befalls the Earth Sphere. It is Beatrice's doing, and her location can be tracked down - to an abandoned colony. The only way to stop her dreams of controlling the world is to go there, and finish it once and for all...

Canon: Staring Into The (canon finale)
Characters: Roy Garnette, at least 3 other combatants
Type: Planned
Setting: Abandoned space colony "Panopticon"
Schedule: This mission will happen on Saturday June 18th at 9 AM CDT. If you'd like to participate, please respond below.

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

Participants:
Roy Garnette
Eva Barton
Elyssa Soleil
Daniel
Calvin Eldred Edwards

Notes:
-The base where Beatrice Willson was being held was taken hostage by SCCF, who have given us an ultimatum to let her go or else it will be destroyed by their flagship, The Yellow King's Decree, and its Dakova-powered main cannon.
-We've engaged the SCCF forces, but the SCCF located Beatrice and managed to get her free during the fighting. In the end, she managed to get away.
-The cannon misfired, causing the Yellow King's Decree to be severely damaged and exposing Dakova. The creature apparently only wanted to be put out of its misery.
-In the end, the SCCF unit Golden Ebony (piloted by two pilots who turned out to be two personalities of one man), their flagship, and most of their forces were obliterated. Dakova perished as well, unable to live in Earth's normal atmosphere. Only Beatrice Willson escaped, but what can she do all by herself, no one can tell.
-The holding base's security force was wiped out or forced to retreat, but otherwise the facility is mostly fine. The mountain towering above it is significantly shorter, however.
The mission will happen on Friday April 1st, at 9 AM CDT (which is 8 AM CST for people who do not observe DST yet, or at all). If you'd like to participate, please respond below.
Due to bad timing (Easter...) and lack of interest, the mission Inferno is being rescheduled for later.

The mission may happen between Thursday March 31st and Wednesday April 6th. If you'd like to participate, please respond below with preferred times and dates.
Inferno

The SCCF appear in full force. Wielding a new weapon, they demand their leader's release - but we of course have other plans!

Canon: Staring Into The
Characters: Roy Garnette, any number of other participants
Type: Spontaneous
Setting: An ESUN military facility
Schedule: This mission will happen on Monday March 28th, at 5 PM CST/6 PM CDT. Do note that most regions of the world that observe DST will have switched to it by that time.

Expected length: 2-3 hours

The mission Mob was a success! The log can be read here.

Participants:
Roy Garnette
Eva Barton
Asagi Toshikazu
Grimlock (also Slag and Sludge)

Notes:
-The good news is that both the lunar city and the ESUN scouting party were unharmed. The bad news is that it was a trap by the new SCCF leader, Beatrice Willson, who wanted to make an example out of us as warning of what happens to people who oppose her organisation.
-Beatrice's unit the Prominence was equipped with technology SCCF managed to analyze and use in practice - including Dakova's mind control, which she utilized to control the reconnaissance pilots into attacking us against their will.
-The mind control powers were broken when Roy had a realization and activated Wagner's Crisis Mode, his own power cancelling Dakova's.
-The ex-Decepticon triple changers Apeface and Snapdragon were helping SCCF as mercenaries but we managed to slag them.
-The city and the recon team were both rescued and Beatrice was taken prisoner. She should know a lot so hopefully we will learn important SCCF- and Cambio Protocol-related information from her.

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 Home was a catastrophe and a failure. The log can be read here.

Participants:
Roy Garnette
Lenore Iblis
Eva Barton
Asagi Toshikazu
Hikari Shimamura

Notes:
-The artificial island of Erria came under attack by the people responsible for John Dotrice's abduction, in order to awaken Dakova and then capture it, weakened by its initial outburst. They have succeeded.
-The enemies turned out to be a group known as SCCF - the Special Capture/Containment Foundation. Their goal was to study, capture and utilize supernatural specimens around the world, but now they decided to use their findings to bring new order to the world: whether it wants to or not. Even more worryingly, they seemed to utilize some Chimera AI units.
-The SCCF leader Lilian Cavanagh was killed and their carrier lost a large section, but in the end we were unable to save John Dotrice.
-Roy turned out to be a very human-like robot, something which even he didn't know. However he too was severely damaged and his body was lost to the sea. All we could recover was the pilot-less Wagner...
-The island of Erria is destroyed and its survivors are not too well mentally.

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...
The mission Enemy will happen on Sunday October 18th at 2 PM CDT - roughly 24 hours from the time of this posting.

Third party enemies(?)
Lenore Iblis

Notes:
-During the visit of a wealthy businessman John Dotrice, Sakihama was attacked by Balmarian forces. Dotrice's bodyguard Roy Garnette assisted Unity Group during the fight.
-It turns out, the place of the last battle between Seta and Lady Grey was also the location of the phoenix Kijin Kazan's revival. Astara appeared again after a long time, and with her help we managed to seal Kazan back to weapon form.
-An unidentified Kijin appeared and battled Astara for Kazan. Following her, strange copies of Crafts used by Seta appeared - targetting both the newcomer and our forces.
-The unknown Kijin fled during the fight. Also it turns out Astara used Seta's weapons AND can invoke the power of Kijin Emperor Invicta. Also the Balmarians were interested in Sakihama Base. There are many questions, and so far little answers.
-Astara has joined the party against her will.
