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

The canon Iteration/Inheritance is now completed.

Participants:
Willis Clades
Setsuko Ohara (and the Glory Stars)
Mizuki Onodera
Shu Shirakawa
Leos Klein (and Lana)

Notes:
- Olympios Floating Facility arrived at Dakar and started spreading the Chimaera nanomachine fog - and it turned out that the facility itself housed a gigantic Chimaera Core! Soon after that, several similar Cores were discovered all over the word, making the situation dire.
- All of this was a part of Setsuna Zeeck's plan to improve humanity through forced evolution - a way to fight alien threats, especially the Lady, with humanity's own power, without relying on assistance or technology from aliens or blind luck.
- In the end, the Chimaera threat was stopped forever by Leigh deciding to fuse herself with the Core and then asking Willis to kill her. Since Leigh was the original core, this caused all of the Chimaera to die as well.
- Leigh was brought back to life thanks to Amahagara's systems recognizing her as its pilot in the last moment and restoring her with nanomachines. Thus, Elys' wish to use nanomachines to save people, not just kill them, finally came true.
- Evil Jen and Setsuna are both dead. Good riddance.
- Thanks to Project Unity's quick arrival through wormhole shenanigans and assistance from Aegis, casualties were relatively low - at least when dealing with an incident of this magnitude.
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.

Willis Clades
Elyssa Soleil

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.
The mission Fragmentation will take place on Wednesday 29rd, at 1 PM CDT.

Participants:
Willis Clades
Elyssa Soleil
Mizuki Onodera
Setsuko Ohara

There's room for more people if anyone else is interested, as usual. See you on the mission.
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...

Characters: Willis Clades, Elyssa Soleil, at least 2 other combatants
Type: Planned
Setting: Restored Olympios Floating Facility docked in Tokyo Bay.

The mission formerly known as "Count Down" (turns out that's what Aero named the last SRW Z mission too)/now officially What Lies Ahead was a success, opening up a whole bunch of revelations!  The complete log can be read here.

Combatants:
Willis Clades
Setsuko Ohara
Walt Schmertz
Skald Scogkattson
Elys Soleil
Dido Sybil
Ken Torao
Asagi Toshikazu

Important Notes:
- The Unity Group responded to another distress signal from an SSR member, this time Rand Travis who'd come under attack near a medical camp.  The attackers?  None other than alternate versions of Toby and Denzel, who blamed him and Setsuko for drawing them to this world.
- Setsuko was still able to safely disable the machines without harming either of them, and in the aftermath the man responsible for this came out once again: Asakim Dowin, still alive and still being an ass.  Lowen also showed up to help us defeat the asshole again... only to suddenly turn around and attack Setsuko instead revealing himself to be a massive misogynistic asshole.  And not just him, it turned out that Chimera'd been bad guys all along, and working with the Black Charisma.
- This revelation caused a strong reaction in Setsuko, awakening her Sphere and putting her in a trance as Asakim put it before he left, leaving Lowen, Shuran, and Xine to try to kill us.  Joining them were two old friends of Willis who had thrown in their lot with Chimera as well, nearly killing Toby and Denzel if not for Elys seemingly sacrificing herself.
- Fortunately, the quintet were driven off and Elys is... clearly able to somehow survive being crushed very thoroughly.  But Chimera has some sort of broadcast planned soon, and the jury's still out on what exactly happened to Setsuko.

The mission Arbitration was a success, though perhaps not as we expected it to be. The log can be read here.

Participants:
Willis Clades
Elyssa Soleil
Hetepheres
Peola Nelfess
Flit Asuno

Notes:
-Aidoneous Island's automated defense systems turned out to be not quite inactive, and even worse - treated us as hostile. The reason for this is unknown but an educated guess can be made...
-The present Crystal Chimaerae made a beeline for Willis, even though he did not use Strahlend at the time. Despite his worries, it turned out the Chimaera are not in fact powered by human hosts, but some other type of core.
-Willis escaped Chimaera-related death only thanks to an intervention of Aegis chief of operations Genoveta Christern Von Lange, her student Lucille Roland, as well as Ono-Sendai CEO Elyssa Soleil.
-During the battle, Meteor-3 activated. It turned out the true form of the artifact meteorite is that of a Balmarian probe - Septuagint, and its even more powerful humanoid combat form - Zehirut. The probe's mission was to judge the threat level of human civilizations, but then Balmarians are fighting us already so...
-SSR members Viletta Vadim, Rand Travis, Woolf Enneacle and (with reluctance) Amara Barton thank for cooperation. Lee Linjun also offers his own unique brand of thanks. See the log (or the NPC post) for details.
-Woolf's G-Exes has been almost completely destroyed. Willis' Strahlend is critically damaged - first sortie after months of not being used and this happens. Also his Gespenst was completely destroyed, assimilated by a Chimaera.
The mission Arbitration will happen on Saturday 23rd at 10 AM CDT. That's in 14 hours and 15 minutes from the time this post goes up.

The mission The Power Called Sadness was a success, if worrying. The log can be read here.

Participants:
Setsuko Ohara
Willis Clades
Selena Recital + Albhard Bailaran
Dido Sybil
Optimus Prime + Grimlock & Blaster
Shu Shirakawa

Notes:
-Crystalline Chimaeras started to appear again, and attacked a city. Fortunately a quick UG intervention (with the help of Lowen) meant that the damage they caused was low.
- Glory Star turned out to be Asakim in disguise as Toby. His torment caused Setsuko to unlock the full power of Balgora Glory... Which is apparently what he wanted all along.
- Some people from Aegis Security, a PMC that usually does good work, want Willis dead. The accusations they threw at him are worrying.
- Willis did something with Strahlend that was both really powerful and left the machine in a very sorry state for at least a week or two.
In spite of some unforeseen circumstances we'll need answers to, the mission Dance of Death was completed successfully.  But dear god we'll need to do some damage control now.  The mission log can be read here.

Participants:
Seta Albreich
Russel Bagman
The Becket Boys
Yuuya Bridges
Willis Claudes
Hetepheres
Kanae Ootori
Walt Schmertz

Notes:
- The existence of the Gebians and the Kijin has been exposed to the world.  The ESUN's planning on releasing an official statement regarding both of them in the near future, along with specifying the difference between the pro- and anti-Earth Gebians.
- After Willis seemingly died, strange crystal monsters tried to scavenge his remains.  They were fortunately killed, though they inexplicably regenerate if not for being extremely thoroughly destroyed or a precise spot on their form is struck.
- Gipsy Danger got seriously trashed this time.  Another two weeks for repairs.  Here's hoping that Raleigh and Yancy aren't burned alive for this one.
- The Scaraber's Scarab frame is now complete.  Huzzah!
- Seta's grown herself a backbone, and can now fully manifest her Craft known as Rebellion.
- A ways from the battle, a number of strange black knight-like monstrosities appeared around the same time Ilnaha did.  Curiously, upon her death they disappeared.  Likewise, Ilnaha's body -a pretty big body, mind you- has similarly evaporated into nothingness.
