YES

IT'S A GUN-DOOOOOOOOOM

Sieg yeah, Zeonquest.

The following morning you meet back up with Incognito.

The plan appears to be as such: Incognito will be travelling up along with his "specialists" in an APC. Your squad will be a three man unit, no Dom because you'll be travelling by Fat Uncle as will the APC and you'll need the extra space.

Incognito has basically ordered Zolomon with you, but you get to pick the last pilot, as well as the Mobile Suits you'll be taking and armament.

YOUR ORDERS?

One day we're out drinking with the boys, and bam RX-78 is there.

Everyone dies.

so I'm this guy cool i love red dwarf

fuck yea zeon quest.

tho isnt zeon a pricplaity and not a republic after the fall of zeon and the rise of the zabis?

can i come too Mr Lister sir

Loadout:

Zolomon: Custom Gouf - 90mm MG with underslung grenade launcher. 2 reloads. As many crackers and smoke grenades as possible. His 2 heat hawks.

Us: Do we still have our Type A Gouf, or was that returned after we finished with it? If not, go with one of our custom Zakus with the head vulcans, a 90mm MG with 2 reloads, a bazooka or panzerfaust, with as many reloads as possible. No grenades or heat hawks for us. If needed, we can get one of Zolomon's.

Garma: His custom Zaku, or better, a mundane looking one to keep him from standing out. Same loadout as Zolomon. 90mm MG w/ grenade launcher, reloads, grenades.

>>7506791

i hate to be the voice of reson, but im not sure taking garma will go down well. plus, he might consider it cock blocking. were his guard not his wing men (Sept in bars, should he want one)

Mr flibble says this thread is now about red dwarf.
whats that mr flibble ?... We cant do that who would be
left to clean up the mess?

>>7506791
I have to agree. Garma doesn't really have the experience for black ops yet.

>>7506927
That's why he needs to get that experience.

>>7506937
Yeah, but if he gets hurt here, it's practically game over for us. Besides, Incognito made it pretty clear that taking Garma is a bad idea.

>>7506957
Yeah, but Incognito is a bitch.

>>7506937

No. He is the child of our leader. He should be a leader, not some sneaky jerk running around doing black ops stuff. Because no one likes the sneaky jerk.

>>7506754

... oops, my bad. Good catch.

>>7506791
>Zolomon: Custom Gouf - 90mm MG with underslung grenade launcher. 2 reloads. As many crackers and smoke grenades as possible. His 2 heat hawks.

Crackers or Panzerfausts?

>Us: Do we still have our Type A Gouf, or was that returned after we finished with it?

Nope, that got upgraded to the B type, and is now the Zolomon Custom type.

>If not, go with one of our custom Zakus with the head vulcans, a 90mm MG with 2 reloads, a bazooka or panzerfaust, with as many reloads as possible. No grenades or heat hawks for us. If needed, we can get one of Zolomon's.

Since 90mm only has a 32 round clip/mag how about we up the number of reloads to 6? They take up more or less the same amount of space anyway.

>Garma: His custom Zaku, or better, a mundane looking one to keep him from standing out. Same loadout as Zolomon. 90mm MG w/ grenade launcher, reloads, grenades.

Don't be silly, you can't have Garma! He's busy today, everyone knows that! Regardless, you have a spare F2 you can outfit for this if you want.

>Let's just say we weren't all that suprised when a familiar Zeonic spy knocked on your door and asked for your help rooting out a spy from your ranks.

Let's just make sure that our ass is covered in all directions before we go around messing with other zenonic units.

>>7506957
have we considered that fact that incognito is a spy? and might be the spy...trying to get us away from garma so his lackeys can dispatch him?

i like the idea of taking rubins in the spare. shes a good all round pilot.

Due to us moving up beam development by 3 weeks, does this mean we'll be seeing the nicer Marine MS sooner? Perhaps not 3 weeks sooner, weaponry isn't the only thing going into a design and especially not without us giving any input on prototypes to hasten things along.

Might make a big difference at Jaburo.

Not to mention what a huge difference getting Gelgoogs a few weeks earlier might make...

WEEEEEEeeeeooooo hay I'm looking nice in this thread. you know what I'm looking better than nice. i have slept 12 times i have eaten 6 time now I'm going to see if i cant have sex with something WEEEEEEeeeeooooo

>>7507001
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Alright. The remaining honor guard has to keep their fucking eyes open. They need to be carrying serious firepower. Standard pistols and shit, but also briefcases with MGs or SMGs inside in case shit arises.

Anyway, bring Ruubens with us then. Standard MG, reloads, grenades loadout.

>>7506687
Us in our old Zaku, or if one of those new Zaku 2s are available, then that. Old-school MG, Heat Hawk, 2 extra clips, 2 crackers, 2 snake grenades. Oh, and head vulcans.

Zol in the Gouf Custom: 2 Heat Hawks, 90mm MG with grenade launcher, 2 extra clips of mg and grenade ammo, crackers as available. Plus built-in weaponry.

As for the last slot... I'm torn between Jolyne on the chance we need some artillery or Elaine because she's a pretty good shot.

>>7507031
Jolyne is skilled in martial arts. She'll be most helpful guarding Garma.

>>7506988
I say bring Rubens along. She has the most experience after Jolyne, and Jo's more of a defender anyway.

>>7507031
>>7507059
These.

Ruubens in the Zaku 2 w/ head vulcans. 90mm mg and bazooka. Extra ammo for everything.

>>7507001

Just consider that whatever service unit that spy belongs to its high command might be really pissed off at us for smoking him/her out and intruding on their jurisdiction.

Can we be certain that we're not taking the flak for Mr. Incognito here? We're pretty high-profile while he is really low-profile. People might come to believe that we decided to raid another Unit because we're GARMA'S BALLS BITCHES. Depending on where that spy sits we might just be in the process of shooting ourself in the foot.

>>7507043
i agree

>>7507031
MAGAZINES, man.

>>7507128
Well, right now, if I remember correctly, we're heading out to find the Zeonic Gaw that crash landed and the crew that parachuted out, including the first spy that Incognito ferreted out. If he's correct, that is.

Since this area they landed is Fed controlled, presumably at least, then it also gives us a chance to fuck of the Fed and free some Zeonic forces, as well as confront and interrogate this spy.

>>7507128
it's ok, we have another foot - also, its GARMA'SFIST!

>>7507156
I'm sorry, are we needing to use the bathroom? No? Then why would we take magazines? Seriously, we've been using the term 'clip' for the entire quest, and I for one am not in a hurry to see that change.

>>7507196
No we haven't.

>>7507128
It's a bit too late for that now. We're already on the plane.

>>7507204
>>7507196
They've been used pretty interchangeably so far.

If hypothetically, I were to run the livestream today, what would people want to watch?

>>7507277
Rachel Starr porn.

>>7507277

gundam. do you have Chars counter attack? tho il what whatever and chat anyway...

>>7507277
Do you even have to ask? Old-school Nickelodeon of course!

>>7507302

Options are the original gundam series, 08th ms team, MS IGLOO, gundam wing, rocko's modern life, and season 4 of reboot (maybe).

And sorry about yesterday, my PC crashed like 2 minutes after i walked out the door.

And the livestream is channel /zeonquest/old, for the uninitiated.

I'm back from Dinner. Sorry about the delay.

So the final loadout is:

You: F2 Zaku
Zolomon: Gouf Zolomon Custom
Ruubens: F2 Zaku

Okay?

>>7507334
Yep

>>7507334

certenly.

>>7507334

Seems good.

Make sure the F2 is El Muerto Grande.

>>7507316
Original movie I showing, this time without extended crashes!

>>7507334


Also, I think w should ask incognito a bit before deciding, Are we likely to be on our own without back up? Should we go with Mundane units that are easier to hide, And such stuff.

After all we WILL need to know what kind of terrain we will fight in and such too, So we can prepare adjectantly.

>>7507334
Looks good. The F2's have the head vulcans, right?

You make the call and within 15 minutes your Mobile Suits are ready. Ruubens meet's you in full pilots suit five minutes before dispatch.

"I've already informed Lord Garma about your absence, and the generals have beefed up his guard to compensate." Incognito tells you.

You leave a secret dispatch to Jolyne to keep her eyes open and to stay paranoid. That includes in regards to the replacement units. Don't try to carry Shiro, he's in the army now and he's got to fend for himself.

By six in the morning you're in the air and heading back to Kansas.
There the Fat Uncle will be landing well clear of the suspected combat zone and there the Mobile Suits will go ahead and locate the enemy base, whilst Incognito and his team lie in wait.

>>7507419

The Fat Uncle is also carrying about 5 trucks, so that if we do rescue the Gaw crew, they've got a way back.

>>7507419
Are we prioritizing on stealth - or jumping in?

>>7507419
>>7507465

I say we should make the stop and rescue the Gaw crew, After all Time is expendable, Soldiers are not.

If those guys were ambushed we would lose a lot of good soldiers and the stop would only take a few hours top. Basically, Drop off the trucks as fast as possible, Then leave.

You arrive at the landing zone at 10 in the morning. The Fat Uncle lands roughly 10 Km southwest of Clay Center, heading in the the direction of Minneapolis, with you in front, Incognito behind and the trucks taking up the rear.

ANY ADDITIONAL ORDERS?

>>7507419
Well, let's get to looking for the feddie base.

Check and see whether what we thought was Ruubens is actually Garma with the fake mustache.

>>7507616
Looks like we are good.

>>7507498
Given that we need to extract the Captain for "questioning" anyway, the best way for us to do that without him immediately getting suspicious as to why is to make it look like it's a general attempt to save the Gaw's crew.

Which will have the added benefit of giving us a reputation for not leaving a man behind if we can help it.

>>7507419
>Ruubens meets you in full pilot's suit
>full suit probably includes face-concealing helmet

Yeah, I think Incognito is going to facepalm hard enough to cause this session's obligatory mushroom cloud when he finds out who came along.

Tell the pilots to keep an eye on incognito.

>>7507616
Oh, and sorry, just a minor nitpick. Minneapolis is in Minnesota, which is a good couple hundred miles northeast of Kansas. Not sure where you really want the action to be taking place, so...

>>7507616
Have Incognito fill us in on any useful details. If we can somehow bluff our way in by claiming to be doing a prisoner transfer, we have a better chance of success than shooting our way in with just three mobile suits.

And on that note, we and whoever's in that other Zaku are going to want to ditch and conceal them outside the POW camp. If possible, see if we can get them to do a very basic "activate and walk to this point when you receive a coded signal" routine, or alternatively if we can slave them to Zol's Gouf for that purpose.

>>7507648
>>7507637

You begin your march out across Kansas, keeping your eyes peeled for enemy ambush. You plan to skirt around the town of Oakhill and into the Jefferson Point State Park, where you think the flak attack occured.

The terrain is flat, but woody. Occaisionally riverbeds and other features afford your Zaku's some extra cover.

(I think, I'm just going on the topography that Google maps has got on the place.)

>Ruubens meets you in full pilot's suit
Say something to Ruubens that she would understand but Garma wouldn't.

>>7507761
Make >>7507716 responding to the above instead. We need as much info from The Nameless One as possible before we actually reach the Feddie camp.

>>7507792
"We're in the countryside now, so watch out for deer."

>>7507807
Well I doubt Garma would actually try to sneak in for this, especially since he doesn't even know we're going on a mission, but sure. Better to find out sooner than later.

>>7507830
And even if it really is Ruubens, pre-mission joking is a tradition in our squad.

>>7507830

plus, teasing rubbins it ++good.

>>7507792
light grope
judge reaction
????????
profit

>>7507792
>>7507830
>>7507838

Seem good, We can find out if it really is Reubens or not, Without looking like a idiot, Seeing how I doubt Incognito know of the inside joke he would not figure out if it was Garma.

>>7507807
>"We're in the countryside now, so watch out for deer."

"Roger that" comes the reply.

Zolomon snickers to your left.

You continue onwards into the park.

>>7507893
That is not the right kind of reaction for if it was really Ruubens. Oh god we've brought Garma on a covert op.

>>7507893
sharp eye for makeshift hidden footfalls and suspended tree logs - im thinking ewoks killing AT-STs here -_-

>>7507904

im kinda worryed too now.

oh god, i think we have brought garma on our covert op.

-_-;;

were a dead man.

>>7507904
Only good things can come of this

>>7507893
So did it sound like Garma's voice or Elaine's? We should be able to tell unless there's a hella lot of static.

>>7507893

Open private link with Zolomon, Ask if he is thinking the same thing(Without outright stating that we think Reubens is Garma, These links are probably bugged by Incognito, And telling him that would be BAAAAD idea).

Tell him that we should be extra protective of Reubens this mission.

>>7507941

There was a little, it did sound somewhat like Elaine. On the other hand, Elaine's voice DOES somewhat osscilate between normal and her fake man voice every so often...

In any case, you're coming up to crash site for the Gaw shortly. You can still see the black smoke pooling from it.

ANY ORDERS?

did the spook come with us in the truck?

cover the site, let the spooks do there thing, untill we know what direction to head in. look out on camara for tank tracks or the like.

>>7507985

Do >>7507967 then order the Trucks to get ready to be deployed, try radioing for survivors to gather at a Rndevouz spot and tell the other members of the squad to help looking for survivors. We should do this as fast as possible.

Recon the area. Scan for anything.

Paranoia suggests boobytraps left around the wreckage.

Make more small talk with Ruubens/Garma? Elaine was from that Texas station right? She disguised herself as a man to get in without a hassle. So make some reference to how the other cadets treated her as a female.

If it's Elaine, she'll be all, "Wtf, my mustache was perfect. They never suspected." If it's not . . .

>>7507985
Be on the lookout for traps or Feddie patrols. Cautiously move up to Gaw. Dismount to go inside if we can; we can look for evidence of where the Feddies took the crew, and we can also retrieve any personal effects belonging to us, Jolyne or Shiro that survived the crash. We can also thoroughly loot the captain's quarters for evidence of his treachery.

>>7508005
>>7508010
I think everybody parachuted, and were probably captured by the feddies. After a quick sweep, we should start looking to see if they have a base hidden somewhere nearby.

>>7507985
Aw, hell. I just thought of something nasty.

Do we know what the Gaw would have had in the way of spare MS parts? Because if they had enough, and those parts survived the crash, we might have another Feddie Zaku to deal with.

>>7508026

Hmm, Well, We should still lok if anyone managed to get away, And if we get to know about any prisoners they would sadly have to wait, Dropping of transports is one thing, A rescue mission would simply take ntoo long and im pretty sure the spy mission will have to take priority, Besides, a remnant base assault is something the normal army should be able to handle.

look for signs of movement , tracks, discarded rations etc, also, is it possible to tell the difference between a federation soldiers boot print and a zeon soldiers? - just incase...

>>7508040

The Gaw crashed yesterday IIRC, And building a MS takes time, Even for expert, Building a Zaku so fast is more or less impossible for untrained Feddie engineers.

>>7508057
Well the spy mission is to find the prisoners, of which the mole is one of. Once we get him, we bring him in for questioning/tortre/finding out who the other spy is. And I doubt he would have brought anything incriminating with him on a mission like this.

While we're waiting, here's an idea for what we should steer Zeon towards unit-wise:

Combined Arms Production Strategy:
Ground(Early/Late):
Special Forces/Close Combat: MS-07B-3 Gouf Custom/MS-18E Kampfer
Multirole Line Infantry: MS-09F Dom Funf/MS-14G Gelgoog
Fire Support: YMT-05 Hildolfr/YMS-16M Xamel

Space:
Special Forces/Close Combat: Space-capable Gouf Variant(Probably MS-07H8 adaptation)/MS-18E Kampfer
Multirole/Line Infantry: MS-09RII Rick Dom II/MS-14Jg Gelgoog Jaeger
Fire Support: Space-capable Xamel variant/MA-06 Val Varo

>>7508129
But here's the thing, a lot of those units don't exist yet, and even if they did we wouldn't know about them at all.

>>7508143

this, and in anycase, the hi-zak is pritty nice, and was cancled in favour of other projects...

>>7508143
Yes, I know. But since we seem to be the go-to guy for testing prototypes, we're in a position to find out what Zeon's R&D guys are doing before they actually roll stuff out.

And on the ground stuff, the Gouf Custom and Hildolfr are already coming out. We're currently testing a prototype Dom, so we're in a position to recommend they do something closer to the Funf when they finalize Doms for mass production.

>>7508129

Conversely;

Space; Mobile Suits. Not Mobile Armours, less showy prototypOH WHO AM I KIDDING.

BIG ZAM. ONCE THE BIG ZAM IS MASS-PRODUCED!!

>>7508175

The Hi-Zack was developed by the Earth Federation/Titans, and it was made a good couple of years after the OYW. It was just a Zaku frame using more advanced tech.

>>7508189
Well, the only honest-to-god MA I'm suggesting is the Val Varo, for support roles. In space, MA can be useful as an intermediate step between MS and capital ships in terms of firepower and mobility. It's just a matter of getting Zeon to focus on actually making something that can be mass-produced before the war ends.

>>7508129
did you forget us?

Yeah, we can´t say DO THIS THIS AND THIS, But we can say stuff like "The Dom massproduction should be easier to modify for diffirent terrains" and "Wouldn´t a Beam Cannon eliminate the recoil problem from the Xamel?" to the develpers of these suits.

>>7508189
Okay, what is this "Big Zam" that you guys keep talking about?

>>7508244
It's a unit we need to get mass produced.

>>7508216
Adding to this (and I'm sorry about this habit of mine; I just keep finding that I post and then come up with something else relevant to that right after I hit "Submit"), one enormous drawback of the MP Big Zam is that it apparently can't fire and move at the same time. Xamel would seem to be capable of doing anything the MP Big Zam can do, and can do it better to boot.

>>7508211

oh? i thought hi-zak was a cansled project from the OYW and then reinsteaed by the feds afterwards...

>>7508256
Dot. Dot. Dot.

OP DONT LEAVE US

>>7508244

Big Zam was essentially a giant MegaBeam Launcher on legs piloted by Dozle Zabi, While piloting it he talked how when it would be Massprodced the Federation would be Finished...


It was never Massproduced... Except for a Ground version in some expanded material.

>Recon the area. Scan for anything.

>Paranoia suggests boobytraps left around the wreckage.


FYI there shouldn't be ay survivors at the Gaw, hopefully they all bailed out. Furthermore, there's a SLIGHT radiation hazard chance, it's unlikely that survivors would have wanted to head towards it.

Keeping in a close formation, covering all angles and checking for traps you head towards the crash zone.

You open a contact comm with Zolomon: "Hey, Zol, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"I think so Davey, but where will we find a Sick Cat and an Officers Ball around here?"

"... a simple no would have worked. Just make sure that Ruubens doesn't make any out of character mad dashes towards the enemy."

"Why?"

"Just do it."

You spot the tanks tracks on the ground a hundred yards or so before the clearing. You carefully sneak ahead, using the microcamera's on your Zaku's fingers.

You can't see anyone, also, it doesn't look like the Gaw's been stripped. You scan for tank tracks, and from appearances it appears that they just did a quick circuit around looking for survivors from the crash and then left.

You check for radiation, you get nothing back. The site's clean.

THE GAW HAS A COMPLIMENT OF ARMS AND WEAPONS SHOULD YOU NEED RELOADS AT SOME POINT.

As you mentioned, there is still the risk of booby traps.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>7508264

ah, it apears i was thinking of the act zaku. and thats still not til the last weeks. so i get to be an idiot. hurra!

>>7508268

dude, this thing

>>7508219

>>7508286

Try to clear the area of mines, Better we get rid of them then if we get attacked and accidentely step on some.

Radio the location and status of the crash to Incognito's group. They may want to secure it and make sure no sensitive Zeon files were stolen/copies from computers.

Keep pressing this third pilot. We need to be sure of who it really is.

As we're in a wood...do we happened to have some support infantry around? I'd rather not have some enemy patrol shoot us some bamboo spears under the skirt...

>>7508286
We dismount and head inside. Search the captain's quarters and retrieve personal effects from wherever we, Jolyne and Shiro were bunked. Then come back out, load up on whatever ammo we couldn't actually take with us when we left New York, and move on.

>>7508308
>>7508285
Thank you very much gentlemen.

>>7508286
Follow the tracks. Hope they lead to wherever the prisoners are being kept. Think about the logic behind not telling Incognito that you think Garma might have snuck in on this mission; it would be simple to check for, and if it is him we would all be best served to send him back.

>>7508325

i think were pritty full on ammo. im suprised no one tryed to grab the wepones TBH.

step carefuly, and folow the trail.

>>7508342
i second track following.

>>7508264

In-universe explanation, the Zaku II frame was very cheap and easy to construct, not the best, but damn cheap, so just stick more advanced bits inside it and voila, much cheaper and still effective grunt suit. The EF always emphasized cost saving and mass production in favor of expensive and experimental gambles in contrast to Zeon.

Real world explanation, Zakus and monoeye MS are easier to identify as the bad guy suits, I'm sure Zeta might have been harder to pick up if the Titan's GM Quells and GM IIs were fighting against the AEUG's own GM models and Nemos.

>>7508318
>Radio the location and status of the crash to Incognito's group. They may want to secure it and make sure no sensitive Zeon files were stolen/copies from computers.

You send a signal back to the APC, telling them that you've found the Gaw.

"Roger that. You move on ahead, we'll clear the area for booby traps and catch up."

"Roger."

>Keep pressing this third pilot. We need to be sure of who it really is.

"So, Ruubens, have I ever discussed my secret newtype powers that allow me to detect people who aren't what they say they are?"

"Uh sir?"

"Yup, why if *heaven forfend* you WEREN'T Elaine "Ruubens" Arronax then I could probably make your brains boil out of your ears right this minute."

"OH NO NOT MY BRAINS!" Say's Garma.

"... oh you have GOT to be, on multiple levels, shitting me." you comment.

You are continuing onwards into an unknown danger zone on a mission of maximum importance.

YOUR ORDERS?

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCK YEAH

>>7508486
>"OH NO NOT MY BRAINS!" Say's Garma.

OH GOD. STILL LAUGHING.

*calms down* Well shit, we have a problem.

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

>>7508486
Umm....i'm pretty sure the backblast from that rocket launcher is more likely to kill those two infantry dudes right now.

>>7508522
Might be recoil-less.

>>7508522

Nah, they're the plucky heroes of a shonen anime, right? They should be fine...

... nah they're humped.

>>7508486
Ask Garma if he wasn´t going to meet Icelinas parents, Tell him it is fine to come with us on this mission, But that he better not slow us down and that he better survive... For everyones sake.

XD

god dame it garma, but XD

makes me wonder where rubbins is...

GARMA! *sigh*

cant stay mad at him.

>>7508486

... please say Garma is wearing Ruubens moustache.

>>7508522

Might be a really soft launching missile launcher.

Also, Do this mean we are better at recognizing spys then Incognito is?

Oh no, my brains.

>>7508522

German technology. When you absolutely have to shoot somebody with a rocket launcher out of a closed car.

>>7508486

OMAKE

...meanwhile in Garma Zabi's room.

"So he just he just tied you up and stole your fake mustache back?"

"Yes sir."

"And you believe he's taken your place in a highly dangerous top secret mission against unknown numbers of enemies?"

"Yes sir."

"Oh god, were all going to get castrated..."

Jolyne speaks up.

"Well, that might not be neccersarily true..."

She produces a bottle of purple hair dye.

"You see, from even a close distance, Ruubens here DOES have more than a passing resemblance to Garma."

"But she's a good four, five incehs shorter?"

"So, plenty of leaders have often depicted themselves in popular media as being taller than they actually are. This could work."

"If the generals find out, it will be our guts for garters!"

"Then we make sure they DON'T find out!"

In the background Ruubens just groans in despair.

>>7508486
wait, is ruubens somewhere back at basecamp, dressed as garma???

also, tell him to "not get cocky - hansolo"

>>7508602

Poor Reubens. Still, We better hear the whole story what happens during the inspection/speech later.

>>7508486
Maintain some level of radio discipline. The last thing we need is for the enemy to find out that Garma Zabi is on their front doorstep. Continue referring to Garma as Rubens

>>7508602

XD

lol. tho rubbins hair is nearly as gorgues. still...thank god for jolyen.

also, garma took the mustash? whatever for?

>>7508602
my god, i need a rule34 on crossdressing ruubens/garma...... im disturbed

>>7508602
Best. Episode. Ever!

Oh, and how are you feeling Apologized? Better than yesterday I hope.

>>7508602
Yeah, pretty much what I figured.

Do you think that Ruubens is too manly to pull it off, though?

>>7508630

...Garma has a moustache fetish?

OH GOD UNCLEAN THOUGHTS D:

>>7508486
If Zol didn't hear this little interlude, we'd better let him in on who's actually with us.

Comment on how you've confirmed that Ruubens has epic hair this mission or something.

...I wonder if this means we'll get to Brightslap (well, Listerslap in this case) Garma and thus turn him from boy to man.

>>7508679

D:

>>7508630

To disguise himself as Ruubens, obviously.

"Right, well, since the minovsky level isn't all that great were now switching to codenames. Zolomon is Crow, you are ..."

"Hawk?"

"... Tom Servo. My call sign will will be Gypsy. Now, let's go find some federation, kick some ass, and liberate some POW's shall we?"

"YES SIR!"

You move off deeper into the woods, carefully following the tank tracks.

>>7508679

>>7508679

we might do, but i doubt it. we should re-itraite to...rubbins...that she is to folow our orders to the leter, and be careful.

>>7508679

Why not try to Newtype telepathy it?

It will probably not work, But just as good time as any to try it.

>>7508717
Poor Acguys. You almost have to feel sorry for them.

Anyway, I think we should spread out a bit. One of us follows the tracks, the other two move a little bit ahead and off to the sides. Continue that way.

>>7508717

GARMAS HAIR IS BRIGHT PURPLE!

XD

i cant stop laphing. XD if i were any good at photoshop, i would it. SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO THIS!

>>7508743

With our luck, we'll probably set fire to Garma's delicious delicious hair...

>>7508773

I meant that we should use Newtype telepathy to tell Zolomon that "Reubens" is Garma.

So who's nickname is for who?

>>7508800
Zol- Crow
Garma- Tom Servo
Dave- Gypsy

>>7508800

Lister- Gypsy
Zol- Crow
Garma- Tom Servo

Yeah, I wasn't sure if Garma was the one saying the names or us, since they said Sir.

>>7508813
>>7508808

This reminds me of that MST3k episode where Crow and Servo had that duel to the death in escape pods.

I'm thinking thats space mutiny?

When we get back we should start calling Ruubens Blast Hardcheese.

Z'goks :P
>>7508757
>>7508757

>>7508679

You REALLY want to hit the Crown Prince of Zeon?

Anyway, you're following the tracks. You stop at one point, noticing several AA shell casings. It looks like they were firing on the move.

You keep tracking to vehicles until you reach something rather odd. A giant hole in the ground.

>>7508842
>>7508808
how odd - only yesterday, someone had to explain to me what MST3k was

>>7508881

You poor deprived child.

Let us welcome you into the loving embrace of MST3K.

Secure the area and then wait for Incognito to catch up. Then have him scout the hole along with Zol for support.

>>7508877
>>7508877

blast crater? or does it look mined? = investigate!

>>7508877
Depends on whether it would actually be productive in our quest to help Garma man up, I guess.

But anyway, quietly take a look into that giant hole in the ground.

>"So he just he just tied you up and stole your fake mustache back?"

But...WE took Ruby's fake 'stache after we first met her.

>>7508938

i still dont think it would go down well. it he realllly screws up...but i think we should just have Words with him afterward. about how its not sensable. at all.

>>7508947

i beleive we gave it back, but it still counted as something in our "inventory" if you get my meaning

>>7508947
This. It was still in our inventory last I checked.

>>7509010
We gave it back to her at some point, I believe.

>>7508947

Well the original was made out of her own hair, so it's not like she couldn't just replace it for emergencies.

>blast crater? or does it look mined? = investigate!

It's not a blast crater, it's an honest to god tunnel leading down at a 45 degree angle. A huge hole at that, you could easily drive a Gallop down this thing. Furthermore it looks recent as well, like it was made yesterday.

>>7508797
>I meant that we should use Newtype telepathy to tell Zolomon that "Reubens" is Garma.

Are you SURE you want to risk getting into a psychadelic mindscape where you're both naked?

YOUR ORDERS VIS A VIS THE HOLE?

>>7509048
>Are you SURE you want to risk getting into a psychadelic mindscape where you're both naked?

YES! NAKED PSYCHADELIC MINDSCAPE TIME!
(we're both in the military so we must have at some point taken communal showers, it's nothing new)

As stated before, wait for Incognito to catch up and then sent Zol in with them to scout it out. Once the first few hundred meters are deemed secure, Garma and Dave will follow.

>>7509048
If we can manage to climb down the hole without falling over, do so. After radioing back and telling Incognito what we've found.

ALSO: Speculate on how the hole was dug. Are there any of what looks to be MS tracks around, or heavy machinery?

Big holes tent to be a pain in the ass to dig very quickly, so there must be a damn good reason for this to be here.

IF WE CAN MANAGE TO COMMUNICATE WITH ZOL THEN THAT CONFIRMS OUR NEWTYPE ABILITY! LETS DO IT!

>>7509048
We don't know about the "naked mindscape" thing yet. So we don't know that may be an issue.

Do it.

>>7509048

i dont like this. at all.

so lets explore it :D

>>7509048

NAKED PSYCHADELIC MINDSCAPE TIME!

If we can get it down we won´t have to worry about minovski interferance when communicating with Zolomon during battle.

Also, Im getting a feeling that this is where the Minovski plane crashed, So there should still be a large amount of Minovski interferance, so check the Minovski levels.

>>7509117
I like the way you think.

>>7509048
send back a message informing Incognito of the hole, and that we may want to explore it now if only to make sure we don't have Feddies crawling up our assholes later.

i'd say there's a little too much on the line to risk distractions (NAKED PSYCHEDELIC MIND SCAPE TIME). what if garma charges off?

>>7509158
Given that this is where the tracks ended, this is probably an entrance to whatever Feddie facility the prisoners would have been taken to. So we're going to be going in anyway. Question is whether we do it in the suits or on foot?

Indeed, we need to stay focused on our mission at this time. Save the NAKED PSYCHEDELIC MIND SCAPE TIME experiments for when Ruby is around.

>>7509171

then we remind "rubbins" we out rank "her" and bright slap her. for her own safty. seresly, if "she" charges, garma or no, in this siutions, i think it warnets a bright slap.

talking of witch, lets remind "her" we outrank her now! and remind her to folow our orders and not charge of like some idiot!

>YOUR ORDERS VIS A VIS THE HOLE?

IF THERE'S A HOLE IT'S A MAN'S JOB TO THRUST INTO IT!

>>7509198
In-character, we have no idea that Newtype telepathy = NAKED PSYCHEDELIC MINDSCAPE TIME. So we can't use the horrifying mental imagery as a valid excuse not to try it.

Now in the future, on the other hand, we'd much prefer to do it with Ruubens.

>>7509058

To be honest though, how would you even know how to do this, you'd need training at the flanagan institute first...

>If we can get it down we won´t have to worry about minovski interferance when communicating with Zolomon during battle.

>Also, Im getting a feeling that this is where the Minovski plane crashed, So there should still be a large amount of Minovski interferance, so check the Minovski levels.

Minovsky levels seem fine. No high or low changes.

>ALSO: Speculate on how the hole was dug. Are there any of what looks to be MS tracks around, or heavy machinery?

You scan the nearby area. The tank tracks actually seem to dissapear BEFORE they enter the hole. You scan the area further, you notice a large amount of flattened shrubbery, and now that you look, you find a slight trail of chopped down trees.

You can follow the trail if you wish.

>>7509239
Check out the trail first.

>>7509214
This but WITH ALL WE HAVE!

>>7509231
>>7509198
I'm not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, yay, we've gotten to the point where people are starting to ship! On the other, dear god we've gotten to the point where people are starting to ship.

>>7509239
Check the trail. Have Zol stand guard in front of that hole, ready to melee anything that might come out of it.

>>7509261
Well, in my case it's only partly shipping, with the much greater part being "all things considered, naked Elaine is a far more pleasant mental image than naked Zolomon".

>>7509261

shipping is an important part of every fandoms diet.

i kinda of ship lister with rubbins. and zolo with jolyne. -_-;;. tho save the porn surgestions.

as for new type powers, amaro and char did it without training. well, i suspect char did it without training.

Check the trees on the trial. Are most of the snapped in the direction of the hole, or away from it. Obviously whatever came though here was big, but did it land, dig, and them move away, or did it come in come in from the ground, smashing the path as it went, and then went back the way it came after wards?

In any case, keep Zol guarding the hole while we search around and scout the trail some.

>>7509298
>as for new type powers, amaro and char did it without training

In this case though it wasn't them deliberatly trying to do it. We can't try to do something we don't even know is possible.

>>7509304
Well, we do know it's possible, because we ran into that one Newtype back in the desert.

We just don't really know what it means, at least beyond making somebody a cast-iron bitch to take down for good in combat.

>>7509298


Pretty sure most people just do it pretty randomly at first, Usually yelling against enemies, So im pretty sure Newtype telepathy automatically activates when you REALLY want to tell someone something but can´t actually reach that person.

Like >>7509337 said we already did it once.

You report your findings to Incognito, and then follow the broken tree trail. Whilst there are occaisional spots where you almost lose the trail in clearings, but ultimately a trail this big isn't hard to find again.

Following it takes a good couple of hours, at the end of which you find... another hole.

>>7509400
TIME TO THRUST IN... LIKE A MAN!

Have we found some buried federation base or something?

Is there a second "clearing road" like the one we just followed or is it just the one path connecting the two holes.

>>7509400
Well shit. Something burrowed out of the ground from the first hole, ran around a bit, and burrowed back underground.

Is it time for Bunnies & Burrows: Zeon Edition?

>>7509412

second this. if god hadnet wanted us to expore wired holes in the ground, he wouldnt have created the universe and alowed men to evolve to the point where thay could a) make war with eachother in giant robots, b) build space coloneys and c) dig giant robot sized holes in the ground.

EXPLORE!

>>7509400
Well, fuck. This hole the same scale as the other one?

And I'm definitely thinking that stealth and bullshitting our way in are going to work better than taking our three suits straight into a base as big as this one seems to be.

Before we start spelunking, radio Zol and Incognito and tell them what we found. While splitting up might not be the best solution, leaving an escape rout for the Feddies is even worse.

Issue orders for a Pincer Attack, Zol and Incognito go in one hole, Garma and Dave in the other.

>>7509473
i don't know...garma's skin is rather squishy and death prone, compared to his zakky

>>7509473
Oh, god. I think I just realized something after rereading some of the older threads.

Remember how our last meeting with OneArm McJackass ended with him getting away from the Feddie base we were trashing by hopping an underground train to somewhere else?

What do you want to bet that this base is where he and the other Roswell survivors ended up?

>>7509529
>>7509541

If I'm right about what we're heading into, the Zaku might just increase the chance of our getting caught without noticeably increasing our survivability.

>>7509506

Your all in the same group.

>Is there a second "clearing road" like the one we just followed or is it just the one path connecting the two holes.

The latter, the trail stops here. You can also several more tank tracks (and tyre tracks too) dissapear into nowhere.

You inform Incognito that you've found a second hole and that you'll be moving to explore.
You cautious step into the giant excavated tunnel, the earth takes your weight.

NOTE: COMBAT IN THE TUNNELS COULD CAUSE A CAVE-IN. 90MM SHELLS WOULD PROBABLY BE FINE UNLESS YOU WERE SILLY WITH THEM, BUT HEAVY EXPLOSIONS AND IMPACTS WOULD NOT BE A GOOD IDEA.

So everyone: Dave, Zol, Garma and Incognito, are all together? Not the smartest choice, but I guess we need to give you breathing room for the inevitable showdown we're likely to run into.

>>7509581
You couldn't have made that post longer to include more information before posting it? Like, up until a point when we can make a decision?

>>7509581

You switch on your lights to guide your way as you carefully traverse the tunnel. The march is long and tense.
On the other hand you do have total privacy down here, if you want to ask your crew anything.

>>7509581

So we try to tank the damage and aim carefully...

How would the Headvulcans work in the cave, I mean atleast one of us have them i hope?

Also on another note:
Garma getting a Brightslap.

Im pretty much against it, However, we should yell at him.

After all if he really would have wanted to come he have the power to do so whatever anyone says, and him not telling us to that he was planning to come meant that we left half of the squads member behind in vain.

That and tell him that comanders have their role, and a part of that role is to not barge in and do suicide missions, Remind him tha actual combat preformance is not always what decides battle, For example Zolomon is a much better pilot then us, But he lacks the squad management and tacticalskills we have, Meaning he fights less effective despite his superior piloting skills.

Remind him that would he die then he would not only get us demoted, He would get his father and Icelina depressed and make Zeon lose an irreplaceble asset, A good leader.

Tell him to tell us ahead of time next time he tries this so we can be better prepared.

Ask Zol if he's liking the heat rod any more now he's used it to make enemies into flails.

>>7509581
Hmm. That's actually an advantage for us, then; we can melee things to death, but most of the weaponry they're likely to have is going to be a bit high-caliber for use in the tunnels.

Since we don't have a Heat Hawk, better ask Zol to loan us one. He can always go with Heat Rod and one Heat Hawk instead.

If Garma doesn't have a melee weapon either, then he gets Zol's other Heat Hawk and Zol just has to make do with the Heat Rod.

>>7509671

the problem with melee is that if we get in battle with another MS we will pobably either get thrown in to a wall, Or accidentely throw IT into a wall, Meaning that a Cave in would happen.

Also, Leaders doing spying is fine my me, After all Haman did it in ZZ Gundam.

>>7509660
>>7509659
Do both of those along with the weapon reshuffling I suggested. We'd better make sure Garma is with the program.

We also might as well ask exactly WHY he decided to join us on our excursion.

Apologized, is it likely in-character that we'd think of the possibility that this is where the Roswell train was heading, or is that just pure metagaming?

>>7509699
Good point.

At the same time, warn Zol and Garma to try to disable any suits by removing arms and legs instead of cockpit or reactor shots. A suit brewing up in here would be about as bad as just grenading everything.

Chew Garma out for tagging along, going into what >>7509659 said about commanders having their role and fucking our shit up if he goes and buys it.

Don't be too harsh though, we need him to understand that he can't throw his life around willy-nilly. Not only is it a logistical nightmare, but it reducing the rest of the squads combat effectiveness because they have to look after him.

Also let's let Incognito know Garma's here so he can get his epic facepalming over and done with now instead of in battle.

>>7509721
son't be silly, the federation doesn't have suits.......

>>7509765
We've already met feddie suits.

>>7509762
Agreed.

>>7509765

This is probably a hidden installation, Very likely for MS reserach considering Incognitos request for a Elite MS squad as a neccesity, we are bound to see some more Stolen Zaku and Zaku/GM mixes.

>>7509777
>>7509765
In fact, we've already met that particular suit. We blew it up while we were in El Muerto Gigante.

Also, this: >>7509762

>>7509814

>>7509777
i am aware of this - the pic was related, no humour today?

>How would the Headvulcans work in the cave, I mean atleast one of us have them i hope?

Very well actually. Their low caliber reduces the risk of cave-in.

>After all if he really would have wanted to come he have the power to do so whatever anyone says, and him not telling us to that he was planning to come meant that we left half of the squads member behind in vain.

>That and tell him that comanders have their role, and a part of that role is to not barge in and do suicide missions, Remind him tha actual combat preformance is not always what decides battle, For example Zolomon is a much better pilot then us, But he lacks the squad management and tacticalskills we have, Meaning he fights less effective despite his superior piloting skills.

You give Garma a throughough dogging about his actions. You may also let slip about Captain Kilroy being a traitor as well. He's shocked, apologetic and a little angry as well. Not at you, but rather at the generals who keep treating like he's made out of cotton wool.
From the sounds of it, he needs to prove to himself that he's worth leading you all to your deaths.
SORRY, I MEAN GLORIOUS VICTORY.

The talk given you continue on your way through the tunnels, the road is long and it takes several hours, you have Garma scan with his sonar for any vibrations, not just for units hidden in the dark, but also to watch out for cave ins.

You eventually come out it twilight next to a airport. Having just been underground your bearings are messed up, you don't know exactly where you are. The airport looks like a disused municipal airport.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>7509837
Sarcasm doesn´t work well when written you know.

Sorry for not getting it.

>>7509833
.......
>>7509837

>>7509841
Look/Examine at airport from a distance, Try to look if they have any guards.

>>7509841
Look to see what the local Minovsky density is. And carefully examine that airport for traps and hidden passages.

>>7509841
Use Radar and GPS (does our Zaku have one?) to tell where we are. Try to radio back to Incognito.

>>7509841
any buildings? is the runways in working condition? if so i suggest messing them up abit, just encase

Get to cover and look things over from a distance. Talk to Incognito and see what his take on things are.

>>7509856
Well, it means that you're right that the Feddies don't have suits. Or at least that suit. Because we blew it to bits.

>>7509906
...No. If they're in working condition, keep an eye on them, but don't actually start attacking things until we have to. We'd rather not make sure that any hidden Feddies know we're here.

We need to try and figure out where we are. See if the Zaku's computer keeps a recording of the units gyroscope bearings, and see if you can't extrapolate your previous bearings. Then compare your distance and direction traveled to your starting coordinates on a map and see if you can't figure out your position.

If the MP density is low enough, we may be able to radio HQ for back up and capture the facility.

>>7509930
i'd like to think the feddies would be smart enough to notice giant robots out on an airport

>>7509978
Well yeah, but these are feddies we're talking about here...

>>7509930
airport also implies buildings - otherwise it's just an airfield

>>7509978
>>7509987
Also, it's Feddies who would much prefer to have us look around, think that there's nobody there, and move on. If we attack now, they know that we know there's something here and begin acting accordingly.

Not to mention the fact that if we start indiscriminately shelling the buildings we run a good chance of killing people we want to rescue/capture and destroying useful information.

>>7510015
Not to mention that acting before we actually know their strenght is suicide, They might have a nasty suprise prepared for us... After all, Who knows, This mission itself might have been leaked too.

You scan the area with your sensors. Infra red pick up a couple of guards and used fags around the area.
They don't appear to be Zeonic.

The runway appears to have been badly damaged, it doesn't look usable, and the conning tower has been boarded up and looks deserted.

There are numerous large hangars about the place, the airport is ringed by a chainlink fence.

You order Zolomon to do a quick and careful search of perimeter. He comes back twenty minutes lately.

"I've found another hole, partially collapsed. Looks old, like it was made a week ago or so."

YOUR ORDERS?

>>7510073
Hmm, so they came here first, set up the attack, burrowed out from the hole we just came from, then came out and eventually submerged again through the first hole we found. Looks like we may have gone the wrong way.

>>7510073

Hmmm, Another hole?

Let´s check this place out before THRUSTING futher.

Getting pincer´d in a tunnel would mean we would lose. Better look so there isn´t ambush waiting here.

Stomp the guards to death. Search the hangars.

>>7510073
Sounds like we've found our entrance. Time to head in and see what we find.

>>7510099
the gearheads wont like jet washing that off...

>>7510095
How noticeable would a sonar pulse be to anyone inside the apparent Feddie base, assuming we send one into the ground by that hole to try to map the tunnel system?

>>7510073
i beleive its time to capture ourselves some guards. and make em squeal

Tell Incognito to head in and see what he can find out. his men and he are a hell of a lot less inconspicuous than a trio of giant robots. They've probably done this sort of things before too.

If things get messy then we can always shoot the place up and provide cover for their escape.

Also: What is the M-Particle density?

>>7510099

Carefully watching the guards patterns, you manage to take out a couple of guards which enables you to make a stealthy look inside the hangars.

What you find isn't good news.

It looks like a giant boring machine, supported by a big-tray land battleship chassis. You can see runways on the top of it, as well as bays for loading and offloading troops and vehicles.
Luckily it doesn't appear armed, but you wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of that drill.

The vehicle takes up the entire hangar, meant for two or three 747 planes.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>7510187

... HIJACK IT! FOR ZEON!

>>7510187
Looks like I was wrong about that whole "went the wrong way" thing.

How did we take out the guards quietly in our Zakus? Or did we get out and do it by hand?

>>7510187
we need to move fast, contact the others, tell them what we found, we need to capture this thing. there might be newtech installed that could further the might of zeon.

>>7510187
You say "not good news", I say "our ride out of here".

Our new plan is to capture that thing and use it to evacuate our POWs.

Does there seem to be anything more to this facility than just the hanger with the Core Drill System in it?

>>7510209

To elaborate, This drill would mean that escaping will be cinch, And taking Jaburo will be childs work, Futhermore, Stealing it would allow our engineers to study it, Quite possible allow us to steal Feddie tech and adavnce our own.

Oh, And phallic symbolicness too.

This thing screams Zeon Super Weapon all over. They must have a mole in our R&D department too.

Have some of Incognito's men infiltrate it. If they are confident that they can get it to work and steal it, then that's what we'll do when we make our escape. If not, then sabotage the hell out of it. We can rig it to blow and provide a distraction for when we make out move.

get the commando's to search the rest of the base and see if they can't find out where the prisoners/Kilroy are. Once we know where our targets are at, we can make our move.

>>7510256
I don't know about this being Zeon-brand crazy, though. It actually makes a certain kind of sense as far as the annoying Feddie ability to keep launching major attacks far behind our lines even after we've trashed all apparent bases in the region.

As long as Garma's seeing this one first hand, he can warn the generals in other theaters to be on the lookout for more of these things.

I am now having glorious images of stealing this drill and tearing through a Big Tray from underground at some point in the future.

>>7510316
You're thinking too small.

Have it come straight up underneath White Base while it's parked or hovering close to the ground.

>>7510187
O... kay.

We need to get Incogito on the radio or whatever immediately, and tell him we think we found whatever is making all these damn huge holes all over the place. Also, if we can, search for more Feddie documents! DECREASE RESEARCH TIMES FOR GREAT JUSTICE.

>>7510347
Well I was gonna suggest that but I think apologized is planning to give the White Base and crew a bit too much plot armour to pull that off.

>>7510347

Why stop there, we can put rocket engines on it and attack White Base while it's still in the air.

If we hijack it we need to give it a codename, I say we call it "Feddig" based on "Federation Digger" atleast until we can get a proper name.

Think we've hit autosage by the way so you might want to archive and start a new thread apologized.

>>7510347
i was thinking giant orbital strike drill mobile armours dropping on jaburo - wait, the matrix revolutions -_-

We should probably call in Incognito's team to hijack it. Becase Hijacking shit is fun.

Right now, though, we should concentrate on finding locations of enemy armour or aircraft. If shit's going to hit the fan, we should be prepared.

Well obviously, we need to claim this for Zeon.

Is it active? Anyone inside manning controls? Can we even tell? We need to destroy the command center. Without a command center, it can't be driven, can't escape, but Zeon forces can claim it ourselves, fix the command center within a week, and have a brand new super weapon.

Also, we should ask Garma if he thinks giant drill-thing would be any good for attacking Jaburo with. Just for laughs.

We should take this drill, increase its size and mount it on the bow of a battleship.

>Have some of Incognito's men infiltrate it. If they are confident that they can get it to work and steal it, then that's what we'll do when we make our escape. If not, then sabotage the hell out of it. We can rig it to blow and provide a distraction for when we make out move.

>get the commando's to search the rest of the base and see if they can't find out where the prisoners/Kilroy are. Once we know where our targets are at, we can make our move.

You retreat to a safe distance and signal Incognito. Luckily he's been tracking you since you popped back and he arrives within the hour.

You all dismount (apart from Garma who wisely stays in his zaku) and meet up with Incognito and his band of spec ops soldiers.

You show him your footage of the Federation superweapon.

"Hmmm. Okay, gentlement, here's what I want you to do..."

>>7510497
nice..

>>7510497
Fuck what he wants us to do. I'm pretty sure we outrank him.

>>7510524


I think it is David talking, Not Incognito.

>>7510497
Son of a...

>>7510358
Next time, on Zeonquest:

MY DRILL IS THE DRILL THAT WILL PIERCE THE FEDDIES!

>>7510577

THIS DRILL OF MINE GLOWS WITH AN AWESOME POWER!

belive in me who belives in ZEON!

>>7510524

If this is an intel op, though, he probably has operational jurisdiction.

Also we don't actually know his rank. He could be a Intel division Brigadier who loves fieldwork for all we know.

>>7510489
If we do this we might actually be able to beat the White Base... or as we should call it, "Trojan Horse". Still, Ramming it might be a bad idea, It was after all ramming that killed Garma in canon. we should generally make it a normal spaceship refit rather then a new vessel, That drill would also mean asteroids are a lesser concern, It is a win-win situation.

But i digress, After all we are trying to make LESS prototypes, Not more.

Sonofabitch! I leave work early to catch Zeonquest and it ENDS EARLY.

FFFFFFF-

>>7510674
If we capture this thing, we should put a very high priority on making the Feddies think that we destroyed it instead. Pull that off, and they won't know what hit them when this thing drills into Jaburo and unloads a Zeon strike force into the base.

Well I guess it's time for Zeonic Artillery Hour.

As we've all been discussing/meta gaming there are lots of potential ways to defeat the Federation. Something I suggested was making sure that they pay dearly for any attacks on our key positions. Since then I've come up with a plan that will force the Federation to throw an overwhelming number of troops, ships and planes at a point of our choosing. It revolves around leaking intelligence to the feddies of a plan to create a massive siege platform that would threaten Jaburo.

In theory this fixed installation -that I've taken to calling Project Trebuchet- would launch a hypersonic projectile called a Minovski bomb. The minovski bomb is very similar in concept to U.C. Beam weapons. Fusion reactors in the platform would heat and compress plasma which is then contained in a minovski field bubble. The bubble itself is part of the main body of a projectile which will be launched from the 'gun.' There are various ways in which the launch portion could work, but the end result is still the same. The large plasma filled bubble impacts in the general region Jaburo is supposed to be located in. An optimum yield of this device could be as high as 1 megatonne.

Hmmm, I was thinking...

Maybe we should try contacting the Flanagan institute after this mission.

To have them evaluate our newtype powers, It should only take a month tops, and we might speed up the development of Newtype equipment.

We just better be sure not to let them give us any "enhancements"...

Cybernewtypes NEVER end well.

In practice this facility will be fake. All of it an eloborate trap designed to draw out as many Federation forces as possible and wipe them out. If they fail to take the bait we can even arrange a 'test firing' in which we launch a massive magnesium flare or other large light source from the facility. At the predetermined 'impact point' we detonate a Minovski reactor in a manner similar to the Loki particle emitter when we were in Panama.

With such a clear threat the Federation wont hesitate to attack such a site. If our intel people do their job right the Feddies should attack long before construction is complete. The best place to build this thing would be Cuba. It forces the Feddies to coss open water where our subs can wait and causes many other logistical problems.

Wouldn´t that be rather expensive?

And seing how Minovski Generators tend to be nuclear powered melting one down purpusfully would probably break the antartic treaty, We got away with it once, It might not work next time.

But otherwise a solid idea.

Maybe use some sort of Planetalicite shell?

COLONY DR-

Oh wait... Antartic treaty again.... It does have Colony drops in it IIRC.
