>>21985468
Okay, first, is the Tria ready?

Second, Admiral Misumaru said that we should contact the Photon Power Lab about the Tiberium-infested Radam Forests. We should ask to have a second comm-line opened to them.

Also, ask the Admiral if we can at least attempt rescue of allies that crashed on Earth due to the fighting.

Have the Task Force begin repairs.
Vitun should be attempting Salvage on the Spirit of Triumph.

Also, scan the Earth and see if there are any anti-teleportation wards or transport jammer fields in place.

>>21985534
Another thing to do is to ask the Void Engineer crews we rescued about how they're apparently okay with blatant magic; according to the source books, they usually HATE magic, even though they'll tolerate them if it's a difference between death and survival.

Also, we need to decide on how we're going to salvage some of the interesting tech that the Void Engineers have on that damaged battleship we towed here.
We could send salvage teams into it, but that risks triggering traps.

>>21985534
It depends on where you're conducting the rescue operations.

You can have a second line open, sure.

The entire Earth is blanketed in a potent field that severely limits teleportation. You'd estimate that only short distance 1-2 mile teleports are now possible within the Earth's atmosphere. Certain types of teleportation maybe be unaffected, but you are not certain yet what they might be.

>>21985570
Asking the Void Engineers something will have to be played out.

>>21985752
And no, the Tria is not ready yet.

>>21985760

What news do we have of the TSAB scout team that was dispatched here?

Also, we should probably find out why the Void Engineers were so accepting of magical healing. I'm not familiar with the setting, but it seems like they don't very much care for that sort of thing.

>>21985468
>YATTE YARUZE!

The shit I would do to see Dancouga and Dancouga Nova...

>>21985752

Open the line to the Photon Power Labs then. We can talk to them at the same time.

Based on our orbital recon, what forces are the NC and the Federation deploying against each other?

I propose we have the VF-25s on standby for a reentry sortie. They can be loaded with Holy Water bombs, or we can use them to seed the clouds to rain Holy Water on the battlefield.

>>21985752
>rescue operations
Inform them that we believe that the ship went down somewhere in the Rockies of North America.

>line open to Photon Power Lab
"Greetings, Photon Power Lab, this is Task Force 38 of the Transpace Guard. Is Dr. Yumi available? We'd like to know what you've been able to discover about the Tiberium-infested Radam, and how close they are to blooming."

>Tria not done yet.
Considering that we started work on it late Day 31, the Tria should only have about an hour to go at most, if this is late afternoon.

>Void Engineers
"So, what's with your acceptance of our magical assistance? Your Code of Conduct's mandate of 'Survive at all costs' coming into effect?"

And lucky us, we don't really have any large quantities of huge mecha.

>Masaki

Ask him what he's doing here. It's some sort of strange happenstance to suddenly warp into a battle where his assistance was desperately needed.

>>21985752
What's the progress of Operation Angel Tears? How close are we to Complete Global Saturation?

Can we determine the origin of this anti-teleportation field?
Also, let's test the three tech teleportation methods we have: Asgard transporter, Federation transporter, and Federation subspace transporter to beam up a gallon of seawater each from the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and beam it back down after it has been converted into Nethack Holy Water.

>Ask him what he's doing here

Looking for Shu obviously.

So, how should we proceed on salvaging the VE battleship? We've got to come up with a plan, and quickly.

I think we should send in salvage teams now, with heavy droid and hologram support, in case of booby-traps. I don't think the VE are in much of a position to complain, but they might.

File: 1355195770795.jpg-(47 KB, 225x350, Yumi.jpg)

>>21985868
The Federation hasn't deployed anything to Vienna yet, they only now found out about it.

"Dr. Yumi speaking," the doctor says, appearing on the holoscreen. "There is good news about that. You are familiar with the Radam, then, since you know about the blooming? The current crop of Radam plants are far from a global bloom by the span of a few months. However, they seem to be accept a wide variety of humans as hosts for the Tekkaman procedure in exchange. Whatever that green crystal substance is, it's both supplied them with a large supplemental source of energy and granted them an adaptability they previously lacked. Instances of the fatal rejection before noted in the Radam plants have dropped tremendously, though the resultant Tekkaman tend to vary in strength."

Dr. Yumi pauses. "Unfortunately, the substance has also considerably enhanced the durability and growth speed of the plants. Since appearing one month ago, the mutated Radam plants have spread steadily outward despite multiple efforts to contain it."

>>21985902
"So long as you don't send more than a small rescue team, that shouldn't be a problem." the Admiral says.

The Void Engineer you contact looks at you strangely. "What are you talking about? What do you know about our code of conduct?"

>>21985978
"I got lost! Thought I found a shortcut back home, turned out to be a gate of some sort to here. Sheesh, don't rub it in..."

>>21986004
Very far. There is a monstrous amount of water to convert. At what distance are you testing the teleporters?

>>21986188
"Dr. Yumi, under normal conditions, I wouldn't be at liberty to tell you this, what with TG Regulations concerning technology contamination, but Tiberium is extremely difficult to contain, let alone clean up, so I don't think that the normal prohibitions apply.
"Tiberium is, molecularly, a non-carbon based element, that appears to have strong ferrous qualities, with non-resonating reversible energy.
"It has a tendency to disrupt carbon-based molecular structures with inconsequent and unequal positrons orbiting on the first, second, and ninth quadrings.

"Much depends on the exact variant of the crystal you have growing here. The advanced stage Tiberium is a dense dynamic proton lattice held together by exotic heavy particles.
"Contact with other matter results in the heavy particles colliding with nuclei of other matter, initiaiting a nucleic transmutation process that releases alpha, beta, and gamma radiation as the target matter is transmuted into more Tiberium.
"Containment requires sonic resonators, since any matter that comes into contact with Tiberium transmutes into more Tiberium.

"About these new Tekkamen; can you send us your research data on them? We have a particle beam weapon, that may work as well as fermion weapons, but we haven't been able to test it yet."

>>21986228
>Void Engineer
"Don't look so surprised; you'll find that a lot of people out here know quite a bit about everyone else, some more than others.
"Captain Franklin dismissed our claims of us having read your sourcebook as the simple ravings of someone who wasn't aware of the Thousand Monkeys Theory. Bah, as if we can't disprove that with the H-Boltzmann Theorem.
"Anyway, we know that your central tenet is survival, since knowledge is no good if it can't be transmitted to others to use.
"But you haven't answered the question yet. So, why the placid acceptance of mages?"

>rescue
"Then we'll send two ships down to search, is that acceptable, Admiral?"
If it is, send the Rodger Young and the Indefatigable to search the Rockies for humanoid life signs and attempt to find the TSAB Recon Team.

>teleporter test
First test them in high Earth orbit, at 22,236 miles above sea level.

>>21986188
Dr. Yumi, you're the best person to ask. Do you know what happened to Kouji Kabuto and Tetsuya Tsurugi? Or the Archangel and Nadesico?

"I'll send you what we have, but it's not much. We've had our best minds pooled on the matter, even Dr. Hazuki from the Cyber Beast Force weighed in. We haven't been able to capture a specimen for study. and we haven't gotten too far with autopsies and other studies. At least, not yet. If we had more time, maybe... but no. Sending what we have."

>>21986370
"A.N.O.N., send the research data to our Science Team.
"Egon, Dr. Cossack, Dr. Lazarus, Dr. Mordin, Melchior. These Radam neural parasites were supposed to be vulnerable to fermions and fermion-based weaponry. Do you believe that nadion particle weapons would be able to have the same effect?
"Commander Data, would we be able to flood an area with elementary and composite fermions using a Federation tricorder, or the primary deflector dish of the Indefatigable?"

>>21986370
"Has the data gave any impression if the Tekkamen are some sort of crystalline lifeform similar or compatible with Tiberium? Just a wild guess, from the way they melded and spread rapidly."

>>21986228

>Masaki

Well, as long as you're here, how do you feel about preventing the destruction/corruption of the entirety of existence? I'm not going to lie, the forces arrayed against us could crush us at a moment's notice if we're not careful. But with your help, we may stand a fighting chance.

"Ooooh, that," the Void Engineer waves a hand. "Your information is woefully out of date. The Technocracy and the Traditions made their peace when the Apocalypse came in order to defend against the Nephandi and the ones seeking to halt the Wheel. We're not sure what happened after that, the Void Engineers departed Earth to wander then. That was a century or two ago."

"Two ships should be fine."

I'd rather not throw a random variable into something Masaki himself can do.

Anyone familiar with World of Darkness?
The White Wolf wiki is only coming up with Werewolf: Apocalypse, and it doesn't have any details on what happens to the Technocratic Union or the other Traditions.

>>21986587
Do you have any idea where they're currently at?

Infact, MetaOP can we scan for the energy signature given off by Photon Energy, The Dimensional Coupler, Phase-Transition Engines, and Antibodies?

>>21986619
That's Mahoukishin Masaki. He can control possession mode by then. Hell, he could control it in Alpha/Alpha Gaiden. But it was a weaker possession in those games.

>Dr. Cossack
"Very well. We are running out of time and more and more research projects keep cropping up. Do what you can."

"Please begin testing while you can."


Guys, what if we ask the Void Engineers to help us out with some of this research? This is their specialty, and while it might be troublesome in the long-term, in the short-term we could really use their help in analyzing the Tiberium Tekkaman data.

>>21986668
"You'd have to ask the Admiral."

The Admiral replies that the Nadesico was on its way to Sarajevo, but they're thinking of diverting it to deal with the Vienna situation first.

>>21986775

Can our scanners and sensors pick out what the NC have deployed?

Depending on the enemies there we can offer to take on the incursion and free up the Nadesico.

>>21986765
Cruz informs you that there's no way of asking the shipyards for reinforcements thanks to all the jamming, nor does he know about the ships. He does know however, that the Void Engineer forces generally attempt to leave the natives alone, so it's unlikely they'd be attacked by VE forces.

>>21986690
Since we're just sort of dicking around in space, can we attempt to use Crowe's sphere to contact Rand and Setsuko's Spheres and from there attempt to bring ZEUTH/ZEXIS to this world?

As well, with all the weakness to space/time in the area, we need to try and reach out to Cobray Gordon.

Earth Side, we need to try and get ahold of Master Asia. And then the Fury as well, but if we do converse with the Fury, we need to be careful. SRW enemies have a habit of backstabbing.

>possibly diverting Nadesico to Vienna
"Well! Admiral, we have a proposition for you!
"Are you a religious man? Rhetorical question.
"We have Holy Water. Lots of it. Technically it's water with a subatomic quantum flux that creates a low-level subspace energy rift.
"And New Chaos tends to have daemons, entities that exist on a layer of space-time known as the Warp, as part of their front-line troops.
"What I'm proposing is that you let us dump a couple thousand gallons of Holy Water onto the New Chaos landing site in Vienna.
"Maybe it'll work in dispelling them, maybe it'll make them miserable from the rain. Want to let us have a shot at it?"

>>21986829
It's impossible to get exact numbers, but the forces seem to be a large force of Titans and heavy vehicles around a core of ground troops. A large force of Daemons are attached to this army.

>>21986886

Titan numbers are 2-digits? 3-digits?

>>21986861
You can try, sure. Do you want to try?

>>21986871
"Does... does that count as chemical warfare? Hmm. I guess not. All right, yo... wait, will this have any ill effect on the land? What's the blowback potential?"

>>21986920
You'd estimate 60-100.

>>21986926
Actually, the fun part of this is that Holy Water has no real ill effect. Evil people will feel very uncomfortable around there, and the plants will grow extremely well, but nothing bad.

>>21986848
>Cruz
"Alright. We've got these Observers, probes with their own onboard warp drives and communication suites. Can you give us your IFF codes and encryption cyphers so that we can have it warp out to the shipyards with an update of what's happening here on Earth and a request for some support.
"Look at that Tiberium, Captain. If those Radam neural parasites bloom and spread, we're going to be looking at a power-armored zombie outbreak here."

>>21986926
>blowback
"None that we're aware. We've been breathing in the stuff as part of our anti-daemon measures for the past day with no ill effects."

Should we give him a sample of the Holy Water to allay his fears?

>>21986926
If we do try, I want Vitun sitting there giving his luck boost to it. What do you think guys? Shall we try?

If you mean Master Asia, finding him is easy. Find the Devil Gundam, then yell "ANSWER ME DOMON!" though the loudspeaker. =p

>>21986926

Side effects include removal of curses, blessing of items, land it is poured on, general good feeling of wellbeing, curing of diseases and good plant growth.

Holy water is not for everyone (Evil beings). Consult with your medical practitioner for advice or visit nethack.wikia.com.

>>21986944

Mmm, numbers are abit on the high side.

Should we propose a joint op? Our troops aren't suiting for a line battle.

>>21987005

I think its worth a shot.

Does crowe's machine have the CDS installed? I hope he doesn't go berserk if he activates his sphere.

>>21987005
Even with Vitun there, providing a Bit of Luck, I don't like the chance that we'd get someone we don't want, especially with how closely the New Chaos Gods are monitoring this Canon now.

Bit of Luck isn't auto-success; it just means we get two rolls, both of which could be terrible, knowing this dice roller. And we're out of Good Fortune after-the-fact rolls for the day, too.

>>21987005

I just hope he doesn't summon someone, like Aim.

>>21987068
Li Brasta R/L only has the CDS. I suggested before that we send Crowe home to get the Li Brasta upgrade and then fish him back out.

>>21986955
"Oh! Then have at it!"

>>21986986
"No, but if you give us the Observers, we'll program them to do that and wipe the memory when we're done. We'll work with you, but you can't ask us to give up our codes."

>>21987081
I think he has one more of his after rolls left too. And it's a risk, but it would give us massive support, which we need. With how long Kane's been here, there's no telling what he's done. However, we're still in a SRW canon, and the heroes are people who can regularly change destiny and fate.

>Nethack Holy Water + Tiberium
Could Kane be hoping for us to do something like this, so that he can have a strain of Holy Tiberium Tekkamen to use against New Chaos, the Void Engineers, and us?

>>21987110

>Holy Water

"Alright, but just three. Don't lose them, they're expensive."
Make sure to wipe the memory on the Observers first, so that they're clean and sanitized, and don't have our own encryption cyphers or comm codes still in them.

Al'Kesh 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 begin beaming up seawater into mass containers, convert them into Holy Water, and begin seeding the clouds above Vienna with the Holy Water.

>>21987203
You begin preparations for your Al'Keshes to do a seeding run.

>>21987203

Can we dipped our tanks and equipment in the tanks of holy water if we're sending them for battle after this?

>>21987119
Let's try it.

Hey, we still need to determine how we're salvaging the VE Battleship.
Are we sending in salvage teams with heavy droid support, or asking the VE for help (which, from Cruz's response, sounds like it won't be happening anytime soon).

>>21987110
Hey MetaOP, the Indefatigable and the Rodger Young are searching the Rockies now, yes?

>>21987300

Salvage covettes will have to do.

>>21987287
Wouldn't it be better to grab a fire engine and some water bowsers filled with Holy Water, and use those?

>>21987315
>salvage corvettes
We already have the VE Battleship in tow, though. We need to explore it in order to find salvageable technological artifacts.
Also, with the Spirit of Triumph knocked out of commission, we can't create Salvage Corvettes.

>>21987323

Yea, that works too.

Was just thinking of blessing our equipment before we send them into battle.

On that note, I wonder how Holy Water Torpedoes would work against NC ships...

>>21987119
We have the Abjurers set up anti-scrying and as many wards and protection against evil and chaos as possible. We can set up the psi-shield too if we have to. Set up quick response squads and counter measures just incase something bad comes.

If all goes well, we should be able to hide it from New Chaos, or at least make it blurry enough to give it a good attempt at succeeding.

>>21987371
The Aurors should also set up Protego Horribilis wards and the Techno-Wizards setting up a Lesser Dimensional Ward as well. The SCP Squad, Aeshma, and Sonya on standby.
Also Mustadio and A.N.O.N. monitoring dimensional readings for fluctuations in space-time, with the Psions ready to set up a Dimensional Anchor.

>>21987300
Yes. Did you load them with any troops or heroes?

>>21987408
After the wards are set up, have whoever can cast it ready dismissal as well. Try to push back anything we get that's not what we want. Perhaps even bathe the summoning point in reality emitters too.

>>21987426
Delta Green Squad, Finalon, VP-98, EMH, HK-50, 1 squad of Probe Droids.

Anyone else see any other squads we should include in the rescue party?

>>21987460

A backup squad or two of our line XCOMers should be sufficient.

>>21987371
>>21987408
>>21987442
Sounds good? Shall we do this then? Have Vitun use Bit of Luck and be ready with his after reroll if he has any left?

>>21987467
Then it should be Marc and 2 X-COM Veteran Squads.
That should be more than enough for anything we expect to find.

>>21987493

Is bit of luck the reroll before or the after?

>>21987513
before

>>21987526

Ah, cool. Thanks. Then its all good.

>>21987495

As long as they don't run into a heavy enemy incursion.

If they do we'll scramble fighter support.

>>21987551
>>As long as they don't run into any fucking Tekkamen

Fixed that for you.

>>21987495

Throw in a TIE/D squadron just in case.

Better to be safe than sorry and we have lots of them.

>>21987569
No, we only got authorization for two ship.
Sending in any more could get that authorization rescinded.

>>21987350

We actually still have a Hiigaran Carrier in our flotilla.

We can still use it to produce the vessels we need, just no Capital ships

>>21987605
True, the Hiigaran Carrier can build ships up to frigate size.

However, I don't see how a Salvage Corvette will help us with the VE Battleship.
We already control it, and it is heavily damaged and in need of extensive repairs.

>>21987534

>>21987750
They're working on the Mysterious Cannon right now. Don't throw away progress we've already started making on it.

>>21987741
Let's try not to piss of Blade. We do want his help, and the Baram may be attacking the Tiberium Tekkamen. We should at least find out if Omega has decided to help Kane or is trying to squish him before we blast him.

>>21987761
That doesn't work like you think it does.

I say we attempt to assassinate Omega pre-emptively.

>>21987748
Can we also have the Abjurers set up anti-scrying and as many wards and protection against evil and chaos as possible. Set up the Psi-Shield. Have the Aurors should also set up Protego Horribilis wards and the Techno-Wizards setting up a Lesser Dimensional Ward as well. The SCP Squad, Aeshma, and Sonya on standby. Also Mustadio and A.N.O.N. monitoring dimensional readings for fluctuations in space-time, with the Psions ready to set up a Dimensional Anchor. And have whoever can cast it ready dismissal while we attempt to use Crowe's sphere to contact Rand and Setsuko's and bring ZEXIS/ZEUTH here and contacting Cobray? As well as Vitun providing a Bit of Luck during this.

>>21987800
Let's not attempt to piss off the entire Baram fleet if we don't have to.

>>21987822
>>21987800
Being unfamiliar with SRW J, does the UEFA and Lunar City know about Omega and the Baram Fleet?
Is the Baram Fleet even still a consideration after the month of constant fighting between the VE and NC fleets, and the NC willingness to attack anyone and anything in this system?

Can't we just ask the UEFA and the Void Engineers about it?

It's a damn fast one, I think even faster than the Star Wars Hyper Drives.

Let's get those two TG Soldiers with the Ancient Activation Gene onto the Tria and have them take it through its paces, learn how to control it. And for fuck's sake, be careful with the drone weapons.
Manually lock it down to only fire a single drone at this time.

>>21987933
Nope. The Tria's hyperdrive is fucked, and we don't have the ability to fix it.

Most it can do is 99.999% of lightspeed.
It is a good idea to practice with the drones, though.

>>21987916
>agitates the already damaged fabric of reality, causing it to tear further
>spontaneous portal generation globally in six hours
Yeah, that's not good.

"Egon, Dr. Cossack, Gaspar, Belthasar, Melchior, Mustadio, Data. With the recent space-time tears, could we attempt to reinforce reality with our Dimensional Stabilizers?"

>>21987942
We'll just have to tow it behind another ship then. But the drone system is very useful. The mostly depleted one in Antarctica destroyed and entire Goa'uld fleet.

>>21987942
I was hoping that along with the repairs and modifications we were doing, that we could have also repaired the Tria's hyper drive.

File: 1355204249531.jpg-(15 KB, 250x181, goodoneboss.jpg)

>>21987959
Egon and Dr. Cossack look at each other, then back at you. The Gurus shuffle their feet and look away. Mustadio winces and scratches the back of his head. Data starts laughing loudly. After a while he stops.

"Oh... Oh you were serious!"

It is early evening when the Rodger Young flies over a smoking ruin of a seventy meter long craft crashed into the forest. You've found the crash site.

>>21987991
We'd have to replace it with an entirely new hyperdrive. the one that was in it originally failed, irreparably.

Well, unless Elaine could just heal it back to working.

>>21988040
Have the Rodger Young begin preliminary scans while the Indefatigable comes over and begins sensor sweeps with its superior sensors.

If we don't detect anything initially, beam down the Probe Droids, VP-98, and Finalon. Then the other squads.

Also, how long ago do the sensors estimate that this ship crashed here?

Also, get those profiles of the Recon Team that Celeste gave us. We'll want to call out for the Recon Team leader when we get on the ground.

>>21988109
Only when your troops finally beam down does the air shimmer and reveal a squad of TSAB mages around the wreck. They look visibly revealed.

"You're not New Chaos and you're not Void Engineers, so I'm really, REALLY hoping you're someone sent by HQ," one of them says. "Did Celeste send you?"

>>21988200
"Yes and no. We're the Transpace Guard, Sector Task Force 38. Do you require any medical assistance?
"Sorry to be blunt, but do you have any intel that we can use? The New Chaos forces have started bringing in even more reinforcements, and we're not sure if the Void Engineers can hold out. And we just found evidence that Kane of the Command and Conquer video games is building an army of Tiberium-Tekkamen hybrids."

>>21988230
"We already healed our injuries. You need our intel? Sure. What exactly do you need to know?"

Is there any merit to asking the Void Engineers to analyze the Tiberium Tekkamen data to see if our weapons can work against them?

We're fast running out of time, and that most recent destabilization just shortened it to 6 hours.

>>21988254
"What do you have on the TG Black Ops fleet that was last seen coming here? Do you know where they went?
"Do you know of any local factions that have been taken out of the fighting, such as Blue Cosmos or ZAFT?
"Do you have any information on Kane's whereabouts or his activities? We know he started a Tiberium forest in Eastern Europe near Sarajevo, and he's combined the Tiberium with the Radam neural parasite plants there."

>>21988254
Actually, wait, did they have any casualties?
We might be able to help them if they're not too far gone.

File: 1355206267178.jpg-(30 KB, 575x536, Tsablogo.jpg)

>>21988282
"There was a number of unidentified ships that pierced the blockade and landed somewhere in Europe. Those might be your Black Ops. As for ZAFT and Blue Cosmos, they were defeated a few years ago by the combined forces of the Nadesico and Archangel. It was an immense war involving not only them, but a bunch of other factions and aliens like the Gradosians and Radam. It put this world's warpower in a pretty sorry state, honestly."

"Kane? No, we don't know what he's up to, but we DO know that someone, probably him, set up an interdiction field around a huge chunk of Eastern Europe. Ground to air defenses blast any ship that tries to land, we've heard of several expeditions forced to slog it by ground or slowly by air as support forces take out the AA."

>>21988409
"But do they have ground to..deeper ground...missiles...?"

"We have a ship that can tunnel through the Earth is what I'm getting at. Will that work?"

>>21988409
>Gradosians and Radam
"On whose side did the Radam fight on? And do you know what happened to their command ship on the moon?
"If ZAFT was defeated alongside Blue Cosmos, who governs and protects the PLANT colonies?
"Also, did you lose any people from your team? Depending on certain factors, we might be able to help."

Also, send the Tiberium Tekkamen research to the Magellan.
"Captain Cruz. We both know how good the Void Engineers are at research. Can we ask that you and your team work on this research project? Can our nadion particle weapons exploit the fermion weakness that the Tekkamen have?"

>>21988468
"It might, but NOD might be prepared for that. Didn't they have mobile bases that tunnel underground or something?"

>>21988488
"What? They didn't have a command ship on the moon, they had an infested space station according to our reports. We don't know who's in charge of the PLANTs now."

"No, we're all fine for the time being."

"Give us some time to look over this research," Cruz responds.

>>21988587
>NOD Tunneling
Yeah, NOD had Subterranean APC's, and they would have been developed within this Kane's timeline. He likely has defenses set up against that angle of attack.

>Radam
"So the Radam, do you know if Tekkaman Blade, or any of the other named Tekkamen participated or are still alive, and if they're allied with the UEFA? Or what happened to the space station?
"Anyway, we'd better get this ship and you people out of here.
"Indefatigable, do you think you can tractor beam the TSAB ship into orbit?"

>>21988669
"The station was destroyed, but Blade stayed on with the OSDG."

The Indefatigable says it might be slow going, but they probably can.

>>21988712
What about Rapier and Balzac?

>>21988712
Alright.
Have the Indefatigable bring the TSAB Scout Ship up (don't want the locals getting their hands on it).
The TSAB Recon Team can ride up in the Rodger Young, and then make contact with Commander Celeste using the Storm's Meta-Comm Suite.

In the meantime, have the Resource Collectors collecting battlefield debris to fuel our repairs, and have the Hiigaran Carrier create 3 more Support Frigates to do repairs.

>>21988740
"We don't know. We weren't able to get a full report before we got shot down."

>>21988769
"Oh, there was supposed to be a Great Crusade Scout Team coming here; did you see them at all?"

>>21988799
"Yeah, they almost made it past the blockade, then they got shot down over Hawaii."

>>21988837
"Thanks. As soon as we have you guys up on the Oncoming Storm, we'll search Hawaii next."

Call up Admiral Misumaru again.
"Admiral, sorry to disturb you. We need to send another rescue team to Hawaii next. I hope that it's not too much trouble.
"In exchange, we can provide you with some of our orbital sensor data we have of the Vienna landings and the Radam forests in Europe.

>>21988881
"That trade sounds OK. Send away."

>>21988881
Send the sensor scan data we got of the Vienna landing zone and of the Radam Tiberium forests.

When the TSAB Recon Team is transferred to the Oncoming Storm and they call up Celeste, have the Rodger Young go back down to the planet and begin searching the islands of Hawaii for the Great Crusade Scout Team.
Also have the Indefatigable join it as soon as it brings the TSAB Scout Ship to orbit with the Task Force.

I'm assuming that the Destroids have been replaced. What's the status on repairs to our task force?

>>21989047
The Oncoming Storm and All Under Heaven have completed repairs. They're working on the rest now.

>>21989070
Have we been able to locate the Devil Gundam?

>>21989070
Ask the Jovian Federation Contingent about what they'd like to do now. They have no mecha, but we might be able to get them on a shuttle or transport back to Jupiter.

>>21989070
Zoom in on the Chaos landing zone. What are they doing? Are they building up a fortress? Beginning to spread out into Austria?

>>21988975

We need eyes-on the NC landing zone.

We should also have our ground troops start thinking about their own landing plans and how they want to set up their advance.

>>21989155
They ask you if you have anything they can pilot. They don't want to return with the job not finished. They've only participated in ONE battle so far!

>>21989149
Nope.

>>21989244
>>21989270
The New Chaos forces appear to be moving out in a large armored column towards the general direction of the Tiberium infested zone.

>>21989277
Well, it's not exactly what they're used to, but we have the Tomahawk Destroids. Or, now that the Engineering Team is free, we could put together some RX-79(G)Ez-8 Mobile Suits. How long would that take with our replication capabilities?

>>21989298
How are the preparations for our Holy cloud seeding project? Has it started to rain yet?

Can a couple of the Abaddons and Hiigaran Ion Cannon Frigates target the New Chaos column for an orbital strike?

>>21989339
Would the Jovians be able to pilot real types? They're use to Super Robot styled mechs, shit that's tanky and can rocket punch.

>>21989339
Actually, the RGM-79Q GM Quel would probably be better since it's supposed to be capable of space operations while the RX-79 is not.
Also, the RGM has a higher reactor output and greater acceleration.

>>21989367
It's getting cloudy, but it hasn't started to rain yet.

Do you want to try orbital striking?

>>21989427

No, they're likely prepared for that.

>>21989427
>orbital strike
Let's wait on that, until we're given the green light from the UEFA.

Instead, let's intensify the cloud seeding. More silver iodide!

>>21989277
>They've only participated in ONE battle so far!

On a related note, I wonder how long our shipless Capsuleers lasted before they got bored and started forming up their Pods in vulgar formations directed towards the planet, or trying to scam ships from the other Meta-aware factions present, or started spamming the fuck out of NuChaos's communication channels with Z O R chains, BR, and "Can I have your stuff?".

Or if they just docked in the Nocturne and are enjoying the supposedly overly luxurious facilities that all Nyx's come with and NOT doing all they can to ruin someones day.

>>21989490

We really should have them shit up New Chaos's comms.

Just remind them that New Chaos ships will get them GM'd, and everyone else is blue for the moment so no scams, just ZOR chains, local spam against NC, and delightful spam.

We'll need a while to get enough replacements up, we weren't expecting THAT many losses that fast.

>>21989490
On a related note, there has been a suspicious number of internal emails in the fleet supposedly from a Amarrian Prince that needs a million ISK to release funds from his inheritance and is willing to split.

Anyway that's enough for today, I'll pick this up tomorrow.

>>21989597

MetaOP, you need to go take a look at your EVE meta again, 1m ISK scams are so 2007.

>>21989989
You say that, but that was an Evemail I got about five hours ago.

>>21990091

Then whatever retard is trying that scam needs to wake the fuck up.

I wonder if the N-jammer is the reasion behind the anti-teleportation field?

>>21989453
>>21989482
However, we may want to thin them out a little before they reach the Tiberium Radam Forests.

We will also need to have VP-99 and Tosh on the ground to observe the fight between New Chaos and Kane's Tiberium Tekkamen. Our orbital sensors are good, but that interference field is still making getting good readings unreliable.

Also, we might want the Engineering Team to build us some Cannon Transporter Modules for the Mammoth Tanks, and maybe either some more Power Armor Refit Mk I's, or maybe even try to upgrade to the Power Armor Refit Mk II.
Maybe even a couple Reality Emitter Mk III's.

We probably won't have enough time to build more Transpace Lances, but we should have enough time for smaller projects.

Also, we need to send some Resource Collectors to try to salvage some Reality Emitters from the remains of our Gallante Task Force. Having more Capital Ship-grade Reality Emitter Mk II's would be helpful.

>>21993377
In addition, now that we have recovered the Void Engineer Computer Core, we can have Mouse, the Sandmen, Isel, the Deckers, and the slicer droids take a crack at it. We can put those Borg Nanite Assimilation Network Taps to use, as well.
I'd include Data, but he's testing out fermion weapons. Unless he can hand off some of the testing to Mustadio and the Gurus.

Techno-Wizards should make some more Cartridges for our Caster Guns, I suppose. Maybe a couple for the SMG. Maybe some banishment cartridges.
3x Gravity Cartridges, 3x Anti-Magic Cartridges, 3x Holy Cartridges, 3x Banish Cartridges.

Tosh should put on the Psi Armor on top of Sylphie's Clothes, if he can.

File: 1355263280434.jpg-(23 KB, 533x480, NOD.jpg)

I wonder if we should risk searching this planet's internet for any references to "The brotherhood of nod".

The real question regarding this universe is the destruction of the eva titans, it was either by an enemy fury commander (which means something has happened to bring them back) or Al-Van is alive (I have only played Toya's route given his LI status he may survive Calinva's I'm not 100%).

The Eva-titans themselves were destroyed using something called the Lars Alem, a weapon that stops the fury's enemies perception of time in a localized area to permit easy destruction with no chance of either retaliation or even discovery.

tl;dr; We're in SRWJ the priorites are assesing the strength of the Nadesico and Archangel, Finding either Toya or Calvina and their machines and clarifying the status of the Fury and contacting Mithril they will be miles ahead of the UEFA in terms of info, (and Mithril included the Cyber Beast Force in J) I would bet the AUH that they have an operative who's already getting close to Kane.

>>21990091

To further the final option there, the RVF needs to be dispatched to the south pacific to find the Dannan and/or Mérida Island. This world has alot of firepower to be used and I want to see Mazinkaiser and Mechagodzilla bro it up.

>>21995266

The Void Engineer database is a research project, albeit a short one.

Barring special circumstances, Sylph's Clothes cannot be worn in conjunction with another suit of armor.

>>22000275
Alright.
Quick question: the Science Team has been analyzing the Mysterious Cannon for about a day or two of subjective time; can they tell if it appears to be Void Engineer in origin, or has some Void Engineer interfaces? If so, doing the VE Computer Core first could actually speed up the Mysterious Cannon project.

>>22000492
It's definitely a Void Engineer design.

>>22000547
Then switch the Science Team from the Mysterious Cannon to the VE Computer Core.
Would having Mouse, Isel, the Hacker Team, slicer droids, and the Borg Assimilation Nanoprobes help to make the project go faster?

>>22000547
Also, in addition to the other items from >>21993377
>>21995266
(particularly salvaging Reality Emitters from the remains of the Gallente Task Force), can we build the Power Armor Refit Mk II? Or is it a research project?
Power Armor Refit Package II
- uses off-the-shelf Federation and X-COM technology
- provides additional vehicle-grade deflector shields and anti-grav flight systems for all Power Armor models
- adds over-the-shoulder Heavy Plasma and back-mounted VLS Blaster Bomb Launcher to Power Armor Refit I
- Elerium-115 reactor provides increased power to allow for 12 holograms, the creation of hard light cover, and allow for stealth

And ask the Admiral if he has a connection to Mithral, or someone in their organization we can contact.
Also ask Dr. Yumi if he has contacts within Mithral's R&D.

>>22000708
Switch out the Heavy Plasma weapons for Fermion blaster variants.

>>22000823
I suppose so, but shouldn't we first see if plasma weapons are just as effective against Tiberium Tekkamen first?
And we still need to see if nadion particles are just as effective or more than fermion weapons against the Tekkamen. If they are, we could swap in a Phaser Cannon instead.

>>22000594
A little bit, yes.

>>22000708
With that much stuff, that's definitely a research project.

The two men reply that they do not, but if you have a frequency to be contacted on, they can put the word out. MITHRIL has a tendency of being extremely well informed, so the information would probably reach them sooner than later.

>>22000871
In SRWJ, beam weapons did hurt them, but I guess that's game mechanics more than anything else?

Also, those beam weapons were the ones mounted on the Strike Gundam, so I guess you need it to be BIG ENOUGH dakka to hurt them.

>>22000909

Yes please. Put out the word that we would like to speak with the Commander of the Tuatha de Danaan.

>>22000909
>a little bit
Well, every little bit helps, especially since we shortened our time limit by weakening the fabric of space-time even further with our attempt to call for allies.

>give frequency
Okay, give them the frequency. Ask them that we'd like to talk with the Captain of the Tuatha De Danaan as quickly as possible.
Also, prepare to send the EVA Autopsy project to Dr. Yumi.
"Dr. Yumi, since you sent us the research on the new strain of Tekkamen, would you mind looking over some research data we've collected?
"This is raw data concerning the cybernetic vehicular weapon system used by New Chaos. Our research team is currently stuck on other projects; we're hoping that you and your fellow colleagues can work on this. We will, of course, share our own findings."

>>22001044
"Yes of course. Can you get me a sample or two?"

>>22001057

We picked up a few of the pilotless wrecks right? Teleport one over along with a supply of Holy Water, just in case.

Dipping in that after each examination session should prevent taint and if the taint does break out I guess they could spray it down.

>>22001057
"Yes, but I recommend extreme caution. They still have activate micro-sub-space rifts with leaking disruptive energies. Even if you're careful, there's a very good chance that the sub-space rifts WILL allow for creatures to come through them, and infect personnel who aren't protected. These are memetic viral vectors we're dealing with; there's a reason that New Chaos is wanted in five galaxies. Please exercise extreme caution. The damn Warp is almost as bad as Getter Rays and Spiral Energy sometimes."

Get some samples from the intact EVA-Titans using one of the Resource Collectors and having a shuttle pod beam the samples down inside a containment vessel. Make sure to use SCP containment procedures, and anti-Chaos buffers and memetic defenses.
Also, plenty of Holy Water in spray bottles, and make sure that everyone washes their hands with Holy Water.


They're going to try to make an EVA-Titan of their own, aren't they?

>>22001113
Once again potential mayhem is brought down by forethought. You teleport over the Holy Water no problem but when you try to teleport the first wreck, it arrives on side as a horrible amalgamation of biotissue and mechanical parts, a terrible mish-mash of what it once was.

After this incident, you're fairly sure that long range teleportation with anything as complex as a machine or living being is probably a bad idea.

>>22001188

Huh. Good to know.

"Sorry about the mess, Dr Yumi. The holy water should make the bio material safe for disposal.

We'll deliver a replacement the old-fashioned way along with more Holy Water."

>>22001188
I'm assuming that the Photon Power Lab need an intact specimen for the research.
We could transport down an EVA-Titan inside the mech bay of the Leopard dropship, couldn't we?
We can spray down the bay in Holy Water before and after. And keep a good 400 gallons of Holy Water on hand just in case.

>Jovian Contingent
Oh! And are they willing to pilot Real Robot type mecha, like the RGM? If so, we can give them EBO implants, get them into RGM's, and have them get started getting used to NOT being the tank of the party.

>>22001327

Shouldn't we just put them in stuff we already researched Manufacturing for like the Destroids or Mad Cats?

An Army of Mad Cats would be quite close to that of supers.

>>22001280
You need to deploy one of your Leopards to haul the massive bodies manually, but it accomplishes the job well enough.

After some tests, the Rodger Young crew theorizes that teleportation with complex beings should be possible, but only within 1-2 miles. Additionally, offensive means of teleportation are more or less inviable due to these fields.

>>22001327
They are willing, but they will not submit to EBOC implantation.

>>22001400
Would you be willing to accept doses of RED-2? It won't allow us to bring you back via cloning, but it will make you extremely hard to kill?

>>22001369
The Destroids are artillery type mecha, and I don't think the Jovians would use them in their assigned role.
We do have the entire Clan Database, so we're not limited to just Mad Cats. But we are limited in that there's only a handful of the Jovians left from their original number of 14.
Also, while we can probably put together a neuro-helmet, the Jovians don't have the Clan mechwarrior implants that allows them to control the battlemech so precisely.

>>22001400
>refusing to have extra lives
What about an injection of RED-2-GENERIC. It just makes you tougher to kill, rather than resleaving you in a new body if the old one gets vaporized.

>>22001484
The Jovians refuse that too.

"We are willing to fight with you, but who knows what's in those things?"

>>22001586
"Alright, your loss. Though if you get one of your dead to us within 20 minutes and there's no neural damage, we can usually revive them in one of the Reconstruction Tanks. Keep that in mind."

Let's discuss what mech to give the Jovians.
We could build them Marauder IIC's, instead of Mad Cats. Or maybe a Kodiak would be more their style? It depends on getting them to wear the neural interface helmets, though.

File: 1355279187460.gif-(27 KB, 262x207, Blood-Nannies.gif)

>>22001586
Well, it's just a dose of nanobots programmed to protect the data in your brain by making a backup in your skin.

Understandable though.

>Show them the statistics on the mechs

So, which ones do you like the most? I'm fond of the Black Knight mech, myself.

>>22001586
What if we up-armor the GMs and strap Armored Pack thrusters to the back?

Basiaclly full armor GMs, and then some.

>>22001713
I suppose we could; it would depend on how quickly it could be done versus putting together an OmniMech.

MetaOP, can the Hiigaran Carrier's nanite construction bays or the Hercules' Creation Engine construct battlemechs or Gundams from the plans we have? Or do we still have to make the parts and then attach them together like Ikea military hardware?

>>22001839

Or can they give us the schematics for the battas and we can produce it for them. Giving reals to super pilots is a recipe for disaster. Especially reals made of paper.

Given that the Jovians are a hot-blooded lot, I don't suppose we could 'persuade' them by saying "We understand your apprehension. Even our best pilots shy away from such devices!" and have our real robot pilots like Brasta/Char/Mechwarriors come in and get the treatments like they're no big deal?

>>22001943
What about the Kodiak, then? 100 tons with 17.5 tons of Compound armor, it has a heavy arsenal of weapons.

Even as we're debating this, I think we should send Tosh and VP-99 down to Vienna to watch the New Chaos forces from a safe distance.

MetaOP, we developed a Personal Psi-Shield for when our Orz Containment Operation. Is it mobile? Can Tosh use it to keep his soul shielded from New Chaos sorcery?

>>22002100

While I'm of the opinion that Assault 'mechs would be durable enough to surprise most SRW characters, I don't think that they'd be as armored or as agile or as punchy as the Tetsujins and Daitetsujins that the Jovians are accustomed to piloting.

>>22002045

Nah if they were to be persuaded it would go something like this (this practice done in private, away from jovian pilots):

"you fooool!!"

/grabs the collar of the CO for dramatic effect

"What do you fight for!? Is it not for your comrades beside you and that of your family and friends back home? What use is it if you die here! The pain and anguish you would inflict upon them? No glory, no honour is enough to abate the grief of losing fathers, husbands and brothers!"

/weep manly tears for effect

"Yes! You must fight! You must fight to LIVE! Not for your sake, but for those who believe in you! For those praying for your safe return everyday!"

Or something to that effect. Theatre 101 was pretty useful.

>>22002165
Well yes, because we don't have the graviton shielding that the Tetsujins and Daitetsujins have.

But, we do have the Vehicle Deflector Shield that the Creation Engine can manufacture quite easily. And with a fusion reactor, it'll have no energy problems.

Actually, MetaOP, could our Holographic Engineering Team be used to attach the Creation Engine Vehicle Deflector Shield Module to all of our currently unshielded mechs and vehicles? Producing them is no problem.

File: 1355281171189.jpg-(8 KB, 251x163, 1287032787108.jpg)

>>22002205
You know, that might actually work.
But it should be another mech pilot that does it.
Let's get Yamada to do it (TG Pilot of the Hyaku-Shiki). With a Bit of Luck from Vitun just in case.

>>22002258

I don't think that this would be enough to merit a reroll on. While a success would be amusing to no end and also allow us to recover them if their bodies are still partially intact, we may need those rerolls later for some tricky capital ship maneuvers/psionic stuff/Chaos-avoidance things.

>>22002324
Well, these are the Pre-Roll rerolls, we have about 12 left, they refresh daily, and we're keeping Vitun inside Elysium to recharge his dailies faster.

But anyway, using nanite repair beams from Repair Scarabs, how quickly do the Engineers think they can get Liberty Prime up and running?

>>22002376
Guys. Vitun's fixing the Spirit. Let's use some of Aeshma's bits of luck.

She has 8 of them.

>>22002258

Nah it should be crowe.

The jovians will be calling him ANIKI after that. Haha.

>>22001839
They can only make stuff from researched plans, all else is IKEA style.

>>22002160
You mean the Psi-Armor? He'll have to take off his Sylph's Clothes.

>>22002217
I suppose, but it'd take time you probably don't have.

>>22002376
Nanite repair beams require that the Scarab/Repair frigate have the blueprints in their database so that they know how to rebuild it. So, never. You need to repair it manually.

>>22002574
Yamada clears his throat as best he can...

>>22002678
Yamada limps away with a few new bruises after a particularly burly pilot takes issue with him questioning his manliness.

>>22002678
>>22002705
Wait a minute, what about the Bit of Luck pre-emptive re-roll he was supposed to get?

Welp.

Rolled 6, 43, 64, 95, 62, 23, 24, 55, 48, 90 = 510

>>22002769

I see yamada and i keep thinking of working!!'s yamada...

>>22002705
>>22002769
Alright, go to the Medbay, Yamada. Yuna will make it all better.

>>22002769
Yamada now is missing some teeth, too.

OK at this point, I need to know how long you're going to wait for any of the current objectives to finish.

>>22002849
We're not waiting.
I want to send Tosh and VP-99 to observe New Chaos fight Kane's Tiberium Tekkamen.
Just gotta plan it out.

>>22002678

How are fleet repairs going and the restoration of spirit of triumph?

Also how many capitals did we have in the decoy higarrian fleet?

>>22002849

Speaking of current objectives we need to detail the pickup crew for the Great Crusade scout in Hawaii.

Same crew and ships as we dis for the TSAB scouts should be enough.

>>22002875
OK. Well it'll take them a few hours to reach the Radam Forest from where they are.

Four hours pass and the Rodger Young finds the Great Crusade scoutships crashed on a remote island in the Hawaii area. The survivors wave their arms and shoot flares as the ship passes by.

>>22002934

Do we want to send an Observer or some other scouts there to recon the area first? The Rocky Mts. were fairly safe, but it might be a different story overseas.

>>22002875
Al'Kesh 1, with its cloak up, and after we tell the Admiral not to shoot at our recon team, drops off Tosh and VP-99 two miles from where the New Chaos force will enter the Radam Forest.
Tosh sets up his Personal Psi Shield, and he and VP-99 get to monitoring.

>>22002777
I suppose Tosh could put it to some use, sure.

>>22002985
Have the Rodger Young land and take on the survivors.

"We're Task Force 38 of the Transpace Guard. We'll inform Admiral Veleth that you're alive.
"Do you have any injured or dead we can attempt to revive? Do you have any intel for us concerning Kane or the New Chaos forces?"

>>22003018
>>22003005
Rather than an Observer, I'd feel safer with a Probe Droid. The Observer's psionic crystal circuitry might show up on a Warp sorceror's sight, while a pure machine would be less visible.

We can have a pair of regular Probe Droids scan the site before VP-99 and Tosh arrive.

>>22003049
"We do, about half of us survived the crash," their leader says. "We might. We intercepted a psychic transmission from one New Chaos ship to another concerning reinforcements for an operation on the surface. Apparently they traced that disruption wave that hit the other day to a large complex in Sarajevo. They're mustering all the ground forces they can spare to take it. The Void Engineers are preparing a force to secure it as well, and from their transmissions, we're guessing they're expecting others to show up and try for the same."

>>22003171

>forgot about something important...

MetaOP, how long more before the Jijenjew portals appear?

We need to transmit a warning to the UEFA, VE and the research labs we're been contact with, minus our involvement. Gonna need to standby our troops and fighters about 40mins before the portals hit.

>>22003171
"Thank you. We'll try to see if we can revive your crew."

After the Crusaders and the bodies are back on board, begin checking all the casualties for possibility of revival.

>>22003171
Alright, let's get these people into Nannybags, and have the EMH and White Mages provide aid.
Get everyone onto the Rodger Young, and the Indefatigable if we need more space. Begin attempting to tractor the GC ships up to orbit, one at a time, where a Resource Collector will move them to the task force for later repairs.

"Yeah, that'd be Kane's Temple Prime. We're already monitoring New Chaos ground forces attempt to enter the Tiberium-Radam Forest around Kane's Temple.
"We're preparing to thin them out as soon as they make contact, let the two forces destroy each other.
"Have you been able to detect anything from our rogue faction? They apparently landed some ships in Easter Europe.
"And we'd better let the Admiral know you're alive, and that we need his reinforcements soon."

>>22002985
>4 hours
That's pretty much an entire day. I assume that the Jovians had made their choice about what mech to pilot, and that we constructed it for them.

Also, let's repair Liberty Prime within those 20 hours. As soon as its operational with a simple fusion reactor, we can construct an LSE for it.

>>22003262
>thin them out
Actually, we should ask the UEFA about that.

"Admiral Misumaru, we're getting a forward observer into position to observe how well the New Chaos ground troops fare against the Tiberium Tekkamen.
"We're planning, with your permission, an orbital strike to thin their numbers once they become engaged with the Tekkamen. Do you have any objections?"

>>22003250
What's a Jijenjew Portal?

Has it starting raining over the NC forces, yet?

>>22003388

The exclusive portal of a /m/ drawfag.

>>22003171
Also, if it hasn't started raining Holy Water on the New Chaos ground troops, then we're going to have to up the cloud seeding.
In addition to using silver iodine, use dry ice and supercooled water teleported to the proper altitude to form clouds.

>>22003250
2 hours.

>>22003254
You can manage to bring a few back to life.

>>22003262
"We've detected seismic activity from them towards the same area, our guess is that they're making a play for whatever's there too, but underground."

>>22003367
"What will be the collateral damage of this strike?"

>>22003456

Have our sensor crews begin tracking down and verifying the locations of the portals. Any confirmed civilian areas in which portals will appear needs to be evaced by the UEFA, just in case.

>>22003456

Put the remains in the morgue.

Ask the great crusade scouts if they usually remit the bodies home or will a burial among the stars suffice?

>>22003522
"A few craters, likely a couple hundred tons of particulate matter being ejecting into the atmosphere. You know, the usual stuff from an orbital bombardment.
"We're going to try to keep the blasts on the rear of the New Chaos armored column, away from the edge of the Radam Forest. We don't want Tiberium getting up into the air.
"There might be some exotic and heavy particles ejected from New Chaos equipment and vehicles blowing up, but nothing that wouldn't happen from destroying them conventionally."

Also, Vitun can cast Control Weather to cause it to sleet.
MetaOP, once Vitun has finished casting Salvage for the day inside Elysium, could he come out, have an Al'Kesh drop him in Vienna, cast the spell, then come back up?

>>22003577
>>22003522
"A.N.O.N., what's the projected fallout from an orbital strike from an Abaddon battleship and Ion Cannon Frigate at the rear of the New Chaos armored column, destroying most of their supplies and logistical support?"

>>22003522

I'm voting against this plan due to Kane probably planning for this and having Liquid T devices ready to initiate should we attempt.

Or just plain anti-orbit defenses.

As for effects, the Abaddon providing support should, if the math is right, be delivering 10.6 megatons per firing cycle minus losses to atmosphere.

>>22003568
They'll take the bodies.

>>22003577
"So long as no civilians or their dwellings are harmed, I have no objection."

>>22003609
ANON: "Abaddon strikes are fairly precise with very low area of effect comparably. Fallout should be minimal. Ion Cannon Frigate strikes may not be as precise."

>>22003690
Kane did not have liquid Tiberium technology when he went through the Chronosphere. Also, even if he did have Liquid Tiberium Bombs placed in the path of the New Chaos forces, any detonation would result in the incineration of his own Tiberium-Tekkamen forces and potentially the destruction of the component that he's after.

As for anti-orbital defenses, that's something we would need to find out in any case, as we would want orbital support for any ground force we send, and better to do it with a ship that can potentially handle the attack.

The UEFA is not prepared to authorize us landing our forces until the situation becomes more untenable, so we can't go with a conventional surface attack.

>>22003784
ANON, can you detect Liquid Tiberium?
Is there any evidence of Liquid Tiberium near Vienna or the Radam Forest?
Couple the Meta-Sensors of the Storm and AUH together to get a better sensor scan.

>>22003849

We can always piss on them.

>>22003849
>UEFA is not prepared to authorize us landing our forces until the situation becomes more untenable
Alright, to be fair, Admiral Misumaru said that he would have to consult with the other commanders before authorizing us to commence ground operations.
Since it's been 4 hours since that exchange and they still haven't come to a decision, effectively the UEFA is not changing its stance unless something changes in the situation.

We could try giving them a live video feed to impress upon them the urgency of the situation, but that's what Tosh and VP-99 are there for.

We can also inform them of the weakened fabric of space-time caused by the disruption wave that was sent out from Sarajevo, and that we project world-wide mass portal openings in 2 more hours, but that's still no guarantee that they'll give us the go-ahead.

>>22003872
You detect a large stock of Liquid Tiberium within Sarajevo, but not near Vienna or the edge of the Radam Forest.

>>22004102
Hmm. What happens when an army of Warp creatures gets doused in tiberium?

Kane is either screwed, or at the moment of his victory. Our push on his position will either be his end or the last piece he needs. Just like GDI's orbital strike detonated the liquid tib.

We should be cautious. Could we tip off New Chaos that Sarajevo is full of volatile chemical liable to kill them all, or would that be a bad idea?

>>22004245
Probably a bad idea. They might think it's a trick, or far more likely they'll try and take it to further their corruptive goals.

>>22004102
Does the Radam Forest cover all of Bosnia, and most of Croatia, Hungary, and Serbia?
I would image it would have to, since Vienna is nearly 350 miles from Sarajevo.

Ask Admiral Misumaru again if he can in any way get the UEFA to agree to allow us to begin ground operations.
Inform him about the impending world-wide portals opening up due to whatever happened at Sarajevo.

>>22004437
Remember to neglect to inform him that we may have sped up the portals opening due to fucking with reality.

>>22004464
I assumed that saying that the distortion wave came from Sarajevo meant not discussing how our attempt to call for allies sped up and made worse the entire situation, but I suppose it's better to make it explicit.
We do not tell ANYONE that we fucked up again, and caused more dimensional fatigue.

>>22004437
No, the Radam forest sprawls for about a hundred miles around Sarajevo. Why would it be otherwise?

>>22004437
"After deliberations, we've agreed to approve ground operations on a case by case basis as you share them with us," the Admiral states.

>>22004503
Actually, that IS all of Bosnia.

Also, we've recovered 20 Mk. II Reality Emitters (Capital Ship-grade) from the remains of the Gallente Task Force.
We should make sure that the Tria and Kiryu are equipped with them.

>>22004521
"Thank you Admiral. Then we would like permission to land some troops to mop up remaining New Chaos forces once they've reached the Tiberium Radam Forest."

"ANON, can our sensors determine the path that the New Chaos forces are taking towards Kane's Temple Complex in Sarajevo? I'd like to know if the area around the city of Novska near the Croatian-Bosnian border would be a safe place to land."

>>22004503
Mostly because I'm wondering why the New Chaos forces landed so far from Sarajevo.
I would have expected them to land in Zagreb, Novi Sad, or even Montenegro if the Tiberium fields are only 100 miles around Sarajevo.

Otherwise they're treking through 200 miles of Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, and Croatia.

Unless, that's how far that Kane's air defenses reach, and they needed to go out that far.

>>22004626
"That location is out of their projected path," ANON reports.

"How many troops?" the Admiral asks. "We welcome the assistance, but we have to be sure this isn't a ploy to land yet another invasion force on our soil."

>>22004714
An excellent question.

>>22004714

We can test that with a single soulchipped TIE/D

>>22004765
"We were thinking an investigation group of 20 to 30, with mecha support and attendant dropship and a single cruiser, near Vienna at the New Chaos landing site. Our current projections show that they should have been able to land closer to Sarajevo, and we're worried about this unexplained action. We'd be happy to cooperate with any investigative group you'd like to send as well.
"As for our other forces, we are currently projecting a force of approximately 40 tanks, and 3 squadrons of fighters, with 70 infantry combat personnel and 30 support personnel. This number, of course, may be increased depending upon how many New Chaos forces survive our initial, dialed down orbital strike and combat with the Tekkamen."

>>22004790
The Hiigaran Carrier does have the fighter construction bay required for it.

We can ask the Admiral if we can do a recon fly-over of the region first to let us map the aerial defenses of Kane's Temple Complex.

>>22004765
"Oh, and we'd like permission to do some recon fly-overs to get an idea of the anti-air defenses set up in the region. We will, of course, share the recon data with you."

>>22004874
"A splendid idea! Please, proceed at once!"

>>22004839
"Those figures sound all right. So long as you share the combat data with us."

>>22004929
Send down 5 TIE Defender/C's to the Balkan region.
1 to Graz of Austria, 1 to Zagreb of Croatia, 1 to Montenegro of Serbia, 1 50 miles to the west of Split of Croatia, and 1 to Kosovo of Serbia.

Have the Hiigaran Carrier create 4 Soulchipped TIE Defenders. 2 will go to Vienna and do a fly-by to see if there are any remaining New Chaos forces or defenses at their landing site.
The other pair will re-entry near Kaposvar, Hungary, then fly at low altitutde to the city of Slavonski Brod on the Croatian-Bosnian border.

Also order that a Reality Emitter Mk. II (Capital Ship-Grade) salvaged from the Gallente Task Force be installed on the Tria and Kiryu, respectively.

>>22004929

Should we wait until the portals open or should we just go ahead and deploy now?

>>22005060
Give me distances from Sarajevo on those locations, please.

>>22005082
Zagreb: 247 miles
Graz: 362 miles
Montenegro: approx. 80 miles
50 miles west of Split: 160 miles
Kosovo: approx. 200 miles

Vienna: 350 miles
Kaposvar: 400 miles
Slavonski Brod: 90 miles

>>22005060
Investigation Team (assuming that the Vienna International Airport is secure):
Hercules - land in the Donau River just north of the Flughafen Wien - Viennal International Airport
Following troops on the Leopard Dropship with Al'Kesh 6 for close-in teleporter and cloaked support:
Douglas
Spike
Ryu
SCP Trooper Squad
Auror Squad
Shadowrunner Team A and B
Mad Cat BattleMechs

All troops to be additionally equipped with replicated Mappers and 1 person in each squad and each Hero to be equipped temporarily with a Reality Emitter Mk. III.

>>22005165
Your engineering teams get to work on the reality emitters while your drone fighters attempt the recon runs. Only the ship flying around Graz completes its run. You lose contact with the others shortly after they descend into breathable atmo. The pair around Kaposvar descend successfully, but then get shot down when they near Slavonski Brod. They are unable to read what did it, but their last transmission is of a pair of brilliant emerald beams lancing out from somewhere in the Forest.

The TIE/Cs flying over the New Chaos landing site report that a base camp seems to be under construction in the area. New Chaos troops have been sighted in the city, but they are few in number. It is uncertain what they are doing there.

>>22005480

Hmmm..

Teleporter shenenigans?

Whatever will happen if we teleport their EVA Titans? Will they turn into mangled shit?

I kinda wanna do that.

>>22005341
>>22005480
The Investigation Team is to get some eyes on the base camp being assembled. Try to get numbers and types of troops, and combine that with what troops are spotted in the city.
Send the data up to Darius, Star-Lord, and Pellaeon for analysis, and planning an attack to wipe out the New Chaos base before it becomes operational and they're able to get Warp portals set up to bring in reinforcements.
Above all, stay out of sight for now.


Send a message to Admiral Misumaru:
"So far, it seems that Kane has set up Tiberium-powered anti-air defense laser batteries. Anything in the air that approaches closer than 300 miles seems to get blow out of the sky.
"Also, New Chaos is building a base of operations near Vienna, and they have troops in the city.
"Will you consider a coordinated assault to destroy the base before they can make it operational?"

>>22005549
>>22005480
Also send a message to Captain Cruz of the Magellan:
"Captain, were you able to get a response from your shipyards?
"I have an update on the New Chaos incursion into Bosnia.
"Kane has set up an air defense network around his complex in Sarajevo; anything approaching closer than 300 miles seems to get shot out of the air.
"New Chaos is setting up a base near Vienna; most likely in preparation for setting up Warp portals to bring in reinforcements, and they have an armored column with 60-100 EVA-Titans and other assault vehicles and infantry advancing on the Tiberium Radam Forest."

>Coordinated assault
See if the UEFA can spare the Nadesico, and mech units, to take back Vienna.
With this being post-SRW J, I'm not sure what their military composition is like.

>>22005618
Wait, I thought they were just Titans, not EVA-Titans. Meta OP, clarification on this point please.

>>22005637
They were EVA-Titans.

>>22005549
"You mean time the Nadesico's attack to coincide with yours? Hmmmm... We could catch them in a pincer attack! I like it!"

>>22005618
"No, but I managed to get a transmission from the blockage. Ground forces will be landing soon to deal with New Chaos and the anomalies detected in Sarajevo. If Kane is there, that's probably where they're headed."
