Notes:
-As the rest of Project Unification and allied forces created a defensive perimeter, the Discovery of Self and its escorts made it into the Lady-controlled realm. There the Discovery's real, humanoid form was revealed, and we fought against Loni Gavin. The stay in the realm didn't make any favors for his mental health, but he fled after being beaten, and the path to the Lady was open.
-The Lady tried to persuade everyone about the rightfulness of her way of doing things, but no one was convinced. Her and her minions' power was overwhelming but Inspector Jou managed to personally crack the tiny crystal that was created as a weapon to serve against her. Despite all doubts it was enough to strip the Lady off her power, and the Inspector survived the attempt too (thanks to Gwen).
-The Lady's loss was a cue for a new opponent to appear. Keisar Ephes, also known as the true Balmarian god Augustus, an ancient opponent of the Lady with the power to control the dead as his minions. He sought to control all life in galaxy, with what remains of Discovery being his key. Selena tried to stop him, but his powerful End of the Galaxy power seemingly killed her in return.
-Right after, Princess Armana and her Balmarian allies arrived to reinforce us, but came under attack by the Lady returning with minions. Neither the Lady nor Keisar Ephes were willing to cooperate, both enemies hellbent on destroying each other - and us!
-Selena then returned to the world of the living (courtesy of Elma using her electric whip as a defibrillator), carrying a message - a song from those who have fallen but still wished to protect the Earth. They spoke to us directly, with UG's fallen friends and allies offering words of encouragement, and Commander-in-Chief Roland Antov hijacking an enemy Grunbein with help of Rani and Brye.
-Seeing her minions fall and her strength wane, the Lady decided to hijack the BrightSaber, as Loni stumbled back upon the battlefield. Unfortunately for her, he was done being a puppet and forcibly threw her out of his unit, critically wounded her and fled. The Lady was then finished off by Walt Schmertz - for good.
-His command of the dead neutralized by the song, Keisar Ephes fought desperately but his unit was in the end destroyed. Ephes himself tried to flee, and kill Selena for good after she pursued him... only to be stopped by the spirits of Albhard, Captain Symphonia and the rest of Team Jelba. Selena then finished him. For good.
-The Lady has fallen and her sphere of influence is gone from Earth. The Discovery of Self was destroyed in the process of defeating her, but its components are still being examined because there was something within them that interested Keisar Ephes. We also regained access to the ruined Fort Alhambra base, though it won't be used by us because...
-With its mission over and marked as a success, Project Unification will remain for some time yet, just in case. Afterwards, it will be dismantled. Its members will either transfer back to their original units (for military people) or go on their own seperate ways (for the rest).

The mission Inheritance will take place on Thursday August 18th, at 1:30 PM CDT. In other words, soon.

The mission Deception was technically a success - but one that brings a lot of bad news. The log can be read here.

Participants:
Willis Clades
Elyssa Soleil
Hetepheres
Mizuki Onodera
Optimus Prime

Notes:
-The Chimaera fog appeared in the Sakihama city - the populated part. Leigh Tahlia and the Licht appeared as well, having reunited with Willis and decided that she wants to help us now, regardless of who or what she is.
-Aegis reinforcements soon followed. Unfortunately they were here because of Leigh - as a presumed Chimaera Core, they assumed the fog was her fault and she needed to be killed. We fought Jen Douglas and Michael Verge, but after defeating them they were seemingly killed by a Chimaera ambush. This is when the Aegis CEO Silvius Christensen appeared, as well as Genoveta and Lucille. The trio was enraged by Jen and Michael's deaths. Only after both Silvius and Willis severely damaged each others' machines, they came to a conclusion that the whole trouble could've been avoided if only they were more willing to talk to each other instead of automatically assuming the worst.
-Jen turned out to be not quite dead, having been revived by her nanomachines in a similar fashion to Leigh before. Michael also returned, but as a mindless Chimaera.
-Elys is gone. The only way to save everyone present and the city from the Chimaera was for her to push beyond the Destruction Limit, suppressing the fog over the whole area and weakening the Chimaera, at the cost of her own life.
-Jen fled, the Durandal Chimaera in tow. Trying to chase after her finally revealed the true mastermind: Setsuna Zeeck, Caduceus CEO. Despite her Olympios facility having done a lot of good towards humanity, she admitted to being behind the Chimaera, both their original appearance and the recent return. She warned Project Unification not to interfere with her plans.
-Thanks to everyone's fast reaction, civilian casualties in the city were small. The Olympios floating facility is currently missing, its reappearance will most likely be bad news.

The mission Deception will happen on Saturday August 13th, at 9 AM CDT.

Participants:
Willis Clades
Elyssa Soleil
Hetepheres
A Steam character (presumably)

Open slots are open for more characters. See you there.

Deception

As civilians crowd Sakihama to help with imprinting the anti-Lady weapon, the Chimaera attack once again. But this time, an old friend from Willis' past decides to assist, determined not to let a tragedy happen ever again.

Canon: Iteration/Inheritance
Characters: Willis Clades, Elyssa Soleil, at least 2 other combatants
Type: Spontaneous
Setting: Sakihama city

The mission Smoke Over Earth was a much-needed success. The log can be read here.

Participants:
Daniel
Gwen
Flit Asuno
Willis Clades
Elyssa Soleil
Leos Klein (and the strongerest robot)

Notes:
-With the Lost Seekers performing simultaneous attacks all over the globe, Project Unification was stretched thin to respond to them all. Our only chance was to stop their commander, who was leading the attacks from the (not-so) abandoned old Seeker compound.
-We faced off against the commander, Smoke Centurion Masaru, as well as Light Centurion Chloe. The former turned out to be a real bastard who thinks nothing of using even his own men as living bombs, and managed to critically damage the Steel Wanderer and seemingly kill Daniel...
-Only for Daniel to realize he has unlocked the true power of the Gun of God! The key to that was to kill enough unjust, which he did by fighting the Lost Seekers. With his newly attained Apostle Mode, Masaru was killed and Chloe was forced to flee. With her signal to retreat, the Lost Seekers all over the world withdrew as well.
-Daniel marked one of the retreating Seekers with a transmitter so we know where they're going to now. As soon as the location of their hideout is pinpointed, Project Unification will move out to put a stop to their crusade.
-The Lost Seekers actually did attack Sakihama just like Masaru told the mission participants, but unlike what he said, the attack was repelled without much difficulty thanks to all the security and Project Unification forces stationed there. It turns out villains sometimes lie or tell half-truths, who knew.

Smoke Over Earth

Recent events were a sign for the Lost Seekers. Their crusade begins for real. As places all over the globe come under attack, the only chance to stop them all is to strike at the core - an intercepted transmission leads us to the Seekers' command center...

The mission Devastation was completed successfully!  The complete mission log can be read here.

Combatants:
Grimlock and then Optimus Prime
Gwen Douglas
Sielje
Daniel
Dido Sybil

Notes:
- The conference with the Decepticons got impeded by swarms of Insecticons that were attempting to "Cyber-form" Earth.  The cause of this was the Proudstar, an ancient Cybertronian vessel from before the Great War that had crashed on Earth and had abruptly activated.
- As it turned out, VIPER was involved with all of this, and among their ranks were several renegade Autobots who'd been recruited by Apogee.  There also had been a simplistic clone of Jen herself who they tried to pass off as the original, alive and well, but the truth was exposed easily enough with her chatbot-grade dialogue.
- The real villain though was the ancient Nova Prime, captain of the Proudstar and who had fallen under the influence of Unicron.  Nova'd intended to Cyber-form the planet into a new body for him and the surviving members of the VIPER team who still had some sense fled when they found out about that, leaving us facing just Nova, the absurdly powerful combiner Monstructor, and Decepticon fanatics under Nova's command.
- Grimlock and the other Dinobots were severely injured in the fight, but Nova's insistence on drawing out their deaths gave us time to save them all, courtesy of Optimus, Soundwave, Devastator, and Menasor arriving to help even the odds.  Nova's forces were wiped out, and he first attempted to make us surrender by revealing that the Cyberforming was being controlled by the Ferrotaxis; a computer holding the collective knowledge of Cybertron's culture and history.  Optimus and the other Cybertronians blew it apart with little hesitation, valuing Earth far more than Nova Prime had ever thought.
- In the end Nova Prime attempted to feign freedom from Unicron's corruption to try to get one last shot at killing Optimus, but quick thinking from Soundwave was able to expose Nova's trick for what it is, Dido and Sielje helping save Soundwave and Optimus's lives respectively before Optimus finally killed Nova Prime.
- The Jen clone was similarly dealt with, and the remains recovered after the battle confirm she was a simple, unthinking physical clone with a computerized brain with a bevvy of combat programs loaded in.
- In spite of the circumstances of the crisis, the cooperation displayed by and toward the Decepticons has gone a long way into helping solidify relations with them.

Devastation

The Decepticons return, not as enemies but merely to broker trade.  But their return coincides with strange goings on and the awakening of something ancient... something ancient and evil.

Canon: Transformers G1 (post-canon), Iteraction/Acceleration (also post-canon)
Characters: Grimlock, Gwen Douglas, at least two more combatants
Type: Planned

The canon What Lies Beyond is now completed!

Participants:
Fyra
Astara Kellin
Daniel
Eva Barton
Selena Recital
Calvin Eldred Edwards

Notes:
-Quintus attacked Mount Etna in search of a Causality Reactor that would make him complete. The reactor turned out not to be there - as a suddenly appeared Fyra revealed, it was moved to her own tomb and she obtained it instead.
-Quintus had the power of all four Orders, even Fyra's Death Order. But with the Reactor, she was able to counter him and summon a phantom army as support - including the phantoms of the other three Riders.
-One by one, Quintus' Orders were destroyed and he himself was then defeated by our joint efforts. Quintus survived and has been captured to receive proper punishment for his crimes (even though there was a notion to deliver swift justice on the spot). Without the Causality Reactor, he wouldn't have a long operational time remaining either way.
-The local defense force suffered heavy casualties, but thanks to everyone the city of Catania was untouched. As for Fyra herself...

The mission Force Shut Down will happen on Saturday July 9th, at 10 AM CDT.

Participants:
Fyra

The mission Fragmentation was a success... probably. Things got confusing. The log can be read here.

Participants:
Willis Clades
Elyssa Soleil
Mizuki Onodera
Setsuko Ohara

Notes:
- The opening ceremony of the restored Olympios Floating Facility was interrupted by a sudden appearance of Chimaeras in the city, doubled with an ominous crystal fog. In the end the monsters and the fog were both destroyed, although the several supporting Fudou Inc units were turned into Chimaeras.
- Aegis Security made an appearance again, this time complete with their bosses, Genoveta Christern Von Lange and Silvius Christensen (who was presumed missing). Despite a fight between Aegis and Project Unity breaking out initially, they seem to have friendlier intentions than before... Possibly. Those are some pretty confusing and mysterious people.
- Apparently, Willis' old love, Leigh, is alive, the reason for the Chimaera reappearing, and hunted by Aegis. All of this is deeply worrying because she died a long time ago.

Force Shut Down

Quintus makes a move, and suspicious activity is detected in a certain area of mythical significance...

Type: Semi-spontaneous
Setting: Mount Etna, Sicily

Fragmentation

In an attempt to make up for Aegis’ involvement in the Cambio Protocol, the derelict Olympios Floating Facility was restored and converted into a mobile relief fortress, capable of giving both developmental and humanitarian aid. Elys attends the opening ceremony of the facility, and Unity Group tags along as security, in case something unexpected happens...

Canon: Iteration/Inheritance
Characters: Willis Clades, Elyssa Soleil, at least 2 other combatants

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...
