"To those defecting from Titans, form up on the Nagato - form up or you'll get torn to shreds!"

Broadcast a general message on all frequencies. If you're with us, form up on the gargantuan Zeon ship shitting blue plasma. If they're not with us, then they'll shoot at us anyway. Get some order to this furball of a melee. If we don't then they'll tear each other apart.

>>36185279
I'm going to go with, "Shoot the people shooting at Adel," since we can be reasonably confident he's no longer on the titans side, until we figure out who's on who's side.

Open comms with 086 and get them to reposition with us at the colony. We can then open comms with each ship to determine which ones have chosen a side and which are still fighting...

Most important thing is to make sure nothing else gets through. Also, can we get a sit rep on Libot? What's the death count?

>>36185507
Unknown. At least in the thousands.

Could also broadcast
"As of now, all Titan loyalists are declared enemy's of (earth faction?) for attempted genocide and war crimes against humanity" etc?
Or would we get into some major do do for that?

>>36185439
Yeah grab Chap Adel!
>>36185550
No not yet and it too strong.

>>36185279
I do hope we are recording all of this, especially the part were were we confirmed were the orders came from, so we can leek this info.

>>36185633
I'm pretty sure that by this point ALICE knows to record everything.

>>36185633
Alice probably stores all short term memory's as records that she could give out, so it can be presumed to be recorded without having to specify.

Are they really the Immortal 4th anymore? Half of them are dead. Though what did they expect, being a group of four in a Japanese franchise? That's practically guaranteed to get you killed.

>>36185279
You key your comm system over to an open channel. "Grim Guard First and Second teams, regroup at rally point Victor. That goes for you too, Unit Two." The Sisters send a brief signal to confirm your orders, but don't say anything in response. You see their machine appear on your display again as they jet away from the colony, having expended their bridlime in an attempt to speed the repairs to the side of the colony walls.

"Haman," you continue, "mark Adel's Gaplant on our HUD."

"Got it" she quickly replies. "Miyu, can you confirm the marker on that Gaplant for me?"

"Confirmed," Miyu replies. "We see it nice and clear."

You nod to yourself. "Good. Request that you engage any machine that isn't one of ours that engages that Gaplant. Captain, please acknowledge request for fire support."

"Request acknowledged," Karen replies stoically. "We're keeping an eye on those Titans warships, too."

"You feeling what I'm feeling?" Audrey asks from the Iris' cockpit.

You swallow hard. "Yeah, it must be getting messy over there. Both sides are getting desperate."

"Great," Emma mutters as she pulls her team back. "Just what we needed."

"I'm moving our funnels towards the Tel Aviv," Haman announces, mentally directing her remote weapons towards the damaged Alexandria-class cruiser. "Karen, can you get the triplets to move their own funnels to cover the other ships?"

"Will do!" you hear a cheerful reply, probably from Diana.

Docking with the Valkyrie goes smoothly enough once the various teams belonging to your unit arrive. Catharine and Reiko guide you in almost like they've been doing this for years already. Now of course, comes the question of what to do with the ship itself. For now Defrah is in command, so you could stay in your Gundam while it's being readied to return to combat again, or you could take command of the Valkyrie yourself.

This is going to get messy, trust in our team, we may be needed to help recover runners or to hunt down suicide attackers.

Do we have any spare EFSF uniforms?

>>36185911
Defrah and Karen are big girls. Let them handle the ship-to-ship combat maneuvers while we yank our control throttles.

Do have them issue a general rally point on the Nagato for the loyalist Earth Federation forces. If we let them sit in that melee for too long they'll eventually start shooting each other. Loyalist and Titans alike.

Right now we're of better use being ready to enter that melee if needed. Defrah is plenty skilled enough to handle the ship. And our big damned heroism will be more effective if we're a presence on the battlefield.

"Defrah, you have control," you announce. "I'm staying down here in case we're needed out there again."

"Understood, Commander," she replies, surprised that you're letting her take the reigns. "I'll just treat it like a big mobile armor, I guess."

"ALICE? Any intel on civilian casualties?" you inquire, hoping for the best.

The AI's news isn't heartening. "Negative, however I have performed some calculations based on readiness, response times, and population distribution within the Libot colony."

"And?" Carrina presses.

There's a momentary pause. "My estimates vary from ten to twenty thousand killed, with up to one hundred thousand affected to some degree."

"Damn," Carrina mutters to nobody in particular. "I guess even if I can see the future, I can't stop it from happening anyway."

Haman crosses her arms in front of you. "Don't blame yourself," she insists. "We did what we could, as we always do. It just happened that this time we couldn't save them all."

Rossweisse is quick to agree. "It would have been three million," she points out.

"I know that," Carrina replies softly. "Doesn't mean I can accept it."

>>36186399
Yup I think at Woomera, Australia and Nina too.

>>36186405
Over the next fifteen minutes or so, the situation stabilizes. Only four Titans machines remain, including Adel's and what turns out to be Keith's.

The Pegasus-class carrier self-destructs, leaving only a few escape pods filled with survivors from Slave Wraith. Karen orders them brought aboard the Nagato and placed into confinement until the natures of the crimes that got them into the penal unit can be ascertained.

The Alexandria class cruiser Tel Aviv is a mess, but is still operational. A skeleton crew is currently operating her under the leadership of an officer named Gunnar, the last survivors of an intense series of shipboard firefights. The wounded from that conflict were transferred to the Nagato, since the Tel Aviv's doctor was accidentally killed in the crossfire. Right now Gunnar has his remaining crew scrambling to fix the engines you damaged.

The two Salamis class ships that accompanied the fleet, the Anzio and the Belleau Wood, are a different matter. The former was commanded by a Titans loyalist while the latter was commandeered by its Executive Officer, and they engaged in a close-range duel that led to severe casualties. Your own teams' remote weapons proved pivotal in disarming the Anzio and ending the battle before both ships were destroyed.

The crew of the defeated Anzio abandoned ship after her captain committed suicide in defeat, and were picked up by the Belleau Wood. All of the survivors are too shellshocked to even bother figuring out who was on what side, and those whose wits are still about them are too busy dealing with the wounded to care.

"Fucked if I know what to do now," Karen admits to you over the Lilium's monitor. "It all looks so bad from here. We'll deal with whatever you decide not to, Dom."

Its time to make sure this incident strengthens the colony to our side instead of divides it.
Dom needs to get his diplomacy hat on.

We should also send out a comms requesting reinforcements from known friendlies before this info leaks.

Keep Emma's team and the Nagato on overwatch in case anything starts up again, but it probably won't. Right now we need to secure the evidence, provide what aid we can, and do damage control. I don't want what happened here to repeat all over the Earth Sphere. At least, not so quickly. I'm sure we'll still wind up with the Gryps Conflict.

>>36186707
>Move in to the colony to assess the damage

>>36186707
>>Move in to the colony to assess the damage

We need to save the ships it our new fleet.

>>36186707
>Move in to the colony to assess the damage
And also to prevent any tampering of evidence or cover-ups. I can actually see the Riah governing body downplaying the damages and casualties to mask the inept handling of this crisis.

>>36186707
"Doesn't matter what we do or whose side they're on. We're people first. We don't abandon our own."

"Karen, organize the surviving soldiers and fleet personal into rescue units amongst our own rescue operations. Get them doing *something* and helping their own. Have Lucette or the Doktor look at the damaged vessels and see what's salvageable and what we'll haft to scuttle."

"Defrah, we're going colony gazing. Take us in so we can ascertain the damage and prevent the government from going even more stupid by attacking now. If we can get the local MPs to secure any G2 gas shells before they can be tampered with, all the better."

"ALICE, now is your time to shine. You remember those countermeasure you were developing for that satellite network? Get on that. I'd like to have a word with Bask Om."

>>36186707

We should personally attend to the Colony along with whichever pilots are willing to see the result of a G2 Gas attack...

The Valkyrie should provide overwatch to the Nagato as Karen oversees the processing of all remaining personnel while the damage reports for each of the remaining ships is compiled.

If we are lucky, this could be the start of our fleet, alternatively, the ships can be decommissioned and stripped for parts to repair whichever ship is in the best condition...

>>36186707
>The Pegasus-class carrier self-destructs
O man I wanted it!

>>36186876
This a good one.

>>36186707
>Assist the stricken Titans ships (how?)
Get a sitrep on the ships. We can establish communications now, so get in touch with them and have them organize the survivors. The Valkyrie can evacuate the people from the ships if the damage is too severe - get the wounded and dying aboard first. The Valkyre medical wing should get ready too.

If the ships aren't in a critical condition (or we don't expect sabotage), have them towed towards the Nagato by the Valkyrie. The Purus can protect the Valkyrie from anything suspicious while the Second team goes after the escape pods.

The First team should refuel and rearm, just in case. Get some lime launchers and go assist the colony (if we're within traveling distance). Get in touch with the colonists, especially the Defense Force. If they have any lime launchers and MS, they should deploy as well.

We need to keep the colonists as far away from the contamination zone as possible, so they should issue a warning to stay away - maybe under the pretense of a hole in the colony?

>>36186876
Salvaging any surviving Alexandrias should be top priority frankly.

>>36186707
>Move in to the colony to assess the damage
Also, get the head of the Riah Guard on the line, or at least a politician. We don't need the remaining titans to be shot up.

>>36187015
>We need to keep the colonists as far away from the contamination zone as possible, so they should issue a warning to stay away - maybe under the pretense of a hole in the colony?
Why not just say the truth? I think "this area is full of poison gas" is just as much a disincentive to go near as a hull breach. It's not like we're trying to hide this, we want everyone to know what the Titans did. And while I suppose there's an element of panic prevention, having them think the colony is leaking would cause just as much worry.

>>36187074
Because we're still in Titan colors.

If they think it's a colony breach, they'd be less likely to stone us the moment they see us.

>>36187074
guessing that anon is trying to cover it up

>>36187112
Oh yeah, that's a good point. We could always change clothes, though, I'm pretty sure we have our old uniforms still.

>>36187116
>covering it up

If ALICE dumps the hard disks on the scuttled cruisers we'd probably find traces of the Jovian Man's involvement.

>>36187112
Yes this.

>>36187144
Pretty sure our MS are in Titan colors as well. Or have the emblem somewhere on them. Same with the ships.

>>36187242
We're in classic Gundam white and blue, from what I recall. I don't know if we have the emblem anywhere. We won't after today, certainly.

>>36187242
We could pull a SYMBOLISM. Instead of cutting our hair like our old Chinese Cartoons did, we tear off our Titans suit patches and repaint our emblems live on-air.

>>36186707
"Defrah, take us in towards the colony. Reiko, get us in touch with Libot's officials," you order.

Karen seems satisfied. "Figure out what exactly the colony needs, I'm having ALICE get in touch with the Republic to see if they can render assistance."

"Good thinking," you agree. "After all, it was Cima who tipped us off in the first place. They should be willing."

Haman shrugs. "I hate to admit it, but that she-devil did us some good this time."

"Catharine, patch through visuals to our displays," Carrina orders, and in a few seconds you see the outside of Libot approaching fast.

Reiko contacts your cockpit as you search for the assault team's entry point again. "I've got the authorities on the horn. You ready?"

You take a deep breath and release it. "Put them through, Reiko."

The image that greets you is of a room full of haggard-looking men seated around a table, in what looks like an air raid bunker. Scattered around them are various official-looking documents, phone lines that snake over and around the table, and old-fashioned emergency breathing systems.

"What the HELL is going on out there?" one of the men demands. "Why is Titans assaulting our colony?"

A second, older man regards you with obvious distaste. "Who are you, boy? What do you Titans want from us now? You've gassed our people, what more do you want?"

>Response? Are you even still with Titans anymore?

>>36186707
>>Move into the Colony to assess the damage
Even if we're currently wearing the wrong colors, helping civilians should be our priority. The Nagato can sort with the Titan survivors.

>>36187328
Are you even still with Titans anymore?
For now...
Commander Dominic O'Hara The Red Wolf of Odessa, Commodore Om going rogue and gassed the colony!

>>36187328
"I think officially resigned the Titans the moment I fired my beam rifle at the Colony Gassing bastards who just did this. EFSF Commander Dominic O'Hara is here to assist with the disaster."

>>36187328
"Dominic O'Hara with the Grim Guard, former Titans speaking."

Queue a collective moment where each one of them shits themselves.

"The EFSF has stopped the gassing and is in the process of rounding up the perpetrators. How may we be of assistance, gentlemen?"

>>36187328
Start as a standard mission report:
Name, and name of unit, time, engaged name of gasser units, reasons for, and currently coming to the aid of the colony and gods damnit if you were on the Titans side they would be dead by now, were the hell is my old uniform?

>>36187328
Ex-Titan sir and we are here to render aid

>>36187328
"My name is Commander Dominic O'Hara, and I and my team were the ones trying to prevent this attack. We were stationed too far from Libot when we were tipped off about the gas to intercept immediately. We stopped most, but due to interference from the rest of the fleet one managed to get through to deliver his payload. You have my deepest apologies for our failure. I do not condone the actions of my superiors here today, and am ready and willing to provide whatever aid we can. I would also like to request your assistance in documenting this attack and securing evidence so that the ones responsible for this may be brought to justice. This can not stand."

Why do you all want to leave the Titan? We didn't even try to take over, yet!

>>36187548
>>36187558
both of this
Commodore Om going rogue!

>>36187558
Because we already attacked and killed 'colleagues'
We left as soon as we decided to interfere to save lives. If we tried to stay, we would be shot for insubordination. Simple as.

>>36187558
If publicly resigning from the Titans gets us in good graces with the Libot officials enough to save even one life, I think it's worth it.

>>36187558
they just tryed to gas people and if we do not leave they will murder us

>>36187604
We killed "traitors". We have the public on our side, and they're still trying to make this seem legit.

>>36187641
This!

>>36187548
This works.
>>36187558
Because the name is Mud. Far better to have a clean break from the past.

>>36187641
I meant the Titans Brass is still trying to make this look good (using the kidnappings as an excuse, blaming the "criminals"...etc)

>>36187641
why the fuck are you defending the titans

>>36187641
The Public will never be on the side of the Titans after this. Especially when we get Alice to show the images on every news outlet. The best policy is make the Titans themselves look like a rogue outfit of EFSF traitors.

>>36187641
Bullshit. As soon as this gets out, and it damn will, war breaks out, titans are blamed (and rightly so). This does NOT stay quiet. We have no play staying with the titans here, none at all.

>>36187700
I'd like to at least have ALICE dump all of the data she can from Titans servers before our clearance codes are rejected.

In addition, I really want to message Riddick and ask what the fuck?

>>36187712
I want to USE them. Wedon't have to burn that bridge yet. Remember why we stayed here?

>>36187641
"Traitors" who officially are dead. Slave Wraith is a black ops, the Titans won't acknowledge they ever existed.

If we want to pull a spin on this, claim how we got an anonymous tip that Voight would attack the colony in order to weaken the Federation. To do that, he stole several Titan suits, and sent them towards Riah to kill everyone.

That should at least focus everyone to deal with Voight, maybe buy us some breathing space. But it's more likely to bite us in the ass as well.

>>36187744

>>36187744

>>36187748
>Wedon't have to burn that bridge yet
But, you see, the bridge is already burning unless we want to kill all the Titans loyalists. Once we come back, they will send us to Side 5 to look for the Garden of Thorns and make sure we stay there.

>>36187424
Agreed.
>>36187789
eh, >>36187744 has a point, though I don't see how what we tell some random people who aren't part of the titans has anything to do with our codes being taken. Ridick will do that as soon as he thinks of it.

>>36187744
>>36187748
>>36187749
But none of that doesn't change the fact that the Titans are rotten to the core, even with us inside trying to make them less terrible. After this, the anti-Earth sentiment will swell up just like it did in regular UC and this time there are a couple of interested parties that will attempt to capitalize on it. (The Republic, Voight, Mars, etc.) The best move is to break from the Titans and either distinguish them from the EFSF, or just say YOLO and declare the formation of the AEUG right here in front of Libot.`

'1' is for telling Libot you're not with Titans anymore. This will effectively mark your departure from the organization.

They can't MAKE us do anything anymore, and they know it.

But they may not be willing to admit it publicly ( by kicking us out, or something). Not yet.

We can use that time to.. I don't know.. recruit? Sabotage them? Take anything we can from them? Size control of the Titans (at least a part of it)?

That's fairly comprehensive, I think. Writing now.

>>36188006
It would be silly for them to try that. They know Dom doesn't subscribe to their philosophy, and has the resources to defy them if he wanted to. Ordering him out of the way will just get him to rebel anyway. They're more likely to just kill him if he goes back.

>>36188122
That was in response to anon saying they'd let us anywhere near the non-indoctrinated.

The fact that Dom had came back after the gassing will immediately force them to get him as far away as possible or frag him.

Oh, I agree that we shouldn't go back. I'm just quibbling about the details. Because this is the internet. It's what we do.

>>36188069
Dammit, missed the vote.
For what it's worth, I would have voted to stay in Titans.

>>36187328
Looking down at your flight suit, you carefully remove the Titans crest pinned to your collar before replying. "I'm Commander Dominic O'Hara, Earth Federation Space Forces. My unit acted on a tip that a Titans taskforce was ordered to use G2 nerve agent against your colony. We've stopped their assault with some help assistance from dissenters within the taskforce itself. We want to assist, but we need you to tell us what you need."

You get the impression that your teammates were expecting this response, and Haman rests her head briefly against your knee in a silent show of support.

"Why would Titans respond with such excessive force?" one of the more sensible officials asks thoughtfully. "And why did you decide to interfere with them? Your uniform IS Titans issue, and yet you insist you're with the EFSF."

You ponder the point for a moment. "Titans is a one-trick pony. They're very good at brute force, but that's the only response to a crisis they know."

"Against Zeon that's understandable. Against civilians it's criminal, and I can't follow a commander who would sanction such measures."

"Very well," the sensible man agrees, shooting a glare at his companions. "I'm sure we ALL appreciate your timely assistance. We will contact your flagship with updates from our emergency services teams once the gassed areas are safe to approach, but medical supplies and personnel will be first on our list of needs I'm afraid."

You nod. "We've got contacts in the Republic who should be willing to render assistance."

"Good. Now, what happened to our own defense teams?" the man presses. "Tell me, how did they fare?"

"Dead, sir," Carrina replies. "The ten Dom units were shredded by Titans' newest machines. All that survived was one civilian in a heavily modified Ball."

"A civilian responder?" the man muses. "Interesting. Please keep me apprised of the pilot's condition."

>>36188441
After surveying the damage to the exterior of the colony, you find that the entrance point was at a secondary airlock: most of the damage control efforts were successful at preventing catastrophic depressurization, but had the side effect of ensuring the single shell's worth of gas wasn't sucked right back out into space.

The majority of the colony's civilians had been evacuated to shelters, but in all the death count rises to just under thirteen thousand before medical aid arrives from nearby colonies.

"So I see your Titans emblem is gone," Karen observes as you rejoin her on the bridge of the Nagato. "I've already made an announcement to the crew that our ship will be leaving Titans, and I offered to allow any dissenters to leave when we put into port next."

"Good," you mutter. "I assume you put our MPs on high alert as well?"

She nods. "Seemed like a good idea."

"I was thinking, Karen..."

"That's a dangerous precedent."

You cock an eyebrow at her as she smirks in your direction. "I was thinking we should get in touch with a few people, possibly secure some political support against Titans."

"Who were you thinking?" Karen asks.

>Admiral Kowen
>Possibly some moderate members of the Assembly
>Cima Garahau
>Other?

I'll be considering the most popular results for some manner of combination.

He's a cool guy and I think the only person we really know in the Federatiion. Although he was kinda under house arrest last I checked.

>>36188664

"Casval Deikun. Get Artesia on the horn."

"What was Syam Vist's gorilla named? Gaul.. Gale.. Something-Chan?"

"Captain Synapse. He was a man who was reasonable."

"The rest of Lucette's engineering team. We've gotta secure them before Titans get ahold of them."

"Nina and South Burning's team."

"Something even the Titans would not even suspect? Ronan Voight. Alliance of convenience for mopping up the Titans."

So, who would Syam Vist recommend we deal with? Ask his bodyguard.

250 million is nice. Sadly, we know Jamitov has a lot more Jew gold than that. Who else to beg for funds from other than the Space Prince?

>>36188664
>Possibly some moderate members of the Assembly
Start at the top, work our way down. If the Assembly member has balls, even though he has the label of a moderate, we might be able to get to Kowen at some point too.

There was another EFSF admiral mentioned in name that showed competence during the crisis in Operation Stardust. Admiral Kirikov, if I'm not mistaken?

Worst comes to worst, there's the knowledge of The Box/UC Charter to pull string from the assembly PM himself. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth to use it that way though.

>>36188823
Dosen't really matter if he has more gold. An anonymous price on his head is still something someone could collect.

>>36188664
>Other?
Yazan Gable
>>36188804
>Ronan Voight
No.

>>36188664
Wasn't their an ex-Zeon playing as a Federation spook now? Landry I think his name was.

>>36188664
>Admiral Kowen
>Possibly some moderate members of the Assembly
>Cima Garahau

>>36188824
Kirikov could work, yeah.

>>36188664
>Admiral Kowen
Though he's under house arrest, he should be able to get in touch with the other admirals.

We'll get to the Assembly after that. First we need a list of names of potential allies, as well as proof of the Titans fucking this up. Get to those Titan ships, grab every piece of data you can, and check all the records and memos. We can use it as evidence.

And thank Cima.

>>36188871

>>36188664
>Admiral Kowen
>Cima Garahau

It may also pay to get in contact with Anaheim... maybe do the rounds with the Colonies, see if we can't set up some safe-houses and/or recruitment centres...

Since Old man Vist is in Cryo, the Vist Foundation is a no go as his kids only care about retaining power and gaining money...

>>36188885
>Landry
The perfect guy to dig through and air out any dirty laundry the higher Titans officers have. Short of Kai Shiden, of course.

Yazan. He's a killer, not a cowardly butcher.

>>36188664
"Our man Kowen for starters. The assembly by showing them how aligning themselves with the Titans is a terrible PR move. Also, I think it might be time to get Bright Noa back on the bridge of a ship that carries more than ten people."

>>36188664
>>36188989
Oh yeah, and bright noa too. In fact, even if we can't get them all, we can at least contact them.

>>36188976
Banaghers dad might be willing to do the right thing

>>36188664
>Admiral Kowen
>Cima Garahau

>>36188804
Voight will be more trouble than he's worth. Best have us be clearly the good guys, and Voight KNOWS we will come after him postwar. Also, we probably have no idea how to contact him.

>>36188664
Bright Noa
Amuro Ray
Hayato Kobayashi
Kai Shiden

It's time we reassembled White Base for one last gig.

>>36189038
They blew up the other pegasus ship though :(

>>36189038
Didn't Hayato start Karaba?

>What is you want, Dominic?

"I will pay you 250 million in gold bullion to kill Jamitov's head."

>No deal.

"I'll even throw in M'Quve's vases."

Suddenly, we have one less enemy breathing down our neck.

>>36189084
Don't worry. The Nagato is reentry capable. We can salvage the Grey Phantom at our leisure.

>>36189090
its he raising Amuro's kids or something.

>>36189095
I'll give you Hayato and Kai, but Bright was about to get smeared by Sirocco, and Amuro wouldn't have survived the Asshimar without Kamille and Quattro.

>>36189138
Did they scrap the Albion?

>>36189179
No I don't think so.

>>36188664
"I've got a shortlist," you admit. "Admirals Kowen and Kirikov, Cima Garahau, Captains Synapse and Noa, Lucette's team from Anaheim, South Burning, Nina Purpleton, and that brat she's dating."

"Lieutenant Uraki?" Karen offers.

"Yeah, that guy. Colonel Ladry in the EFF might be nice to have on our side, and then there's Yazan Gable and Char Azbale. Still on the fence about those last two."

"And in terms of politicians?" Karen muses. "I don't know that we've met any that would be willing to help. They're mostly too invested in Titans' success against Zeon to get reelected."

"The Admiralty may be better connected," you suggest. "I'm not going after Kowen and Kirikov because they're fun at parties, Karen."

"Fair point," she admits. "Reiko, see who we get through to first and put them through to the ready room."

"Aye, ma'am."
(1/2)

>>36189179
Synapse is the Captain of the Albion. So no. The Flight 3 Albion was probably redesigned into the single centerline hangar the Titans wanted to turn the Valkyrie into, however.

>>36189204
>I'm not going after Kowen and Kirikov because they're fun at parties

But there are just so you know!

>>36189204
I'm trying to think of the other Admirals we've had dealings with. Mainly the group conference while trying to convince that fuck-up on the Birmingham to move the Naval Review. Drawing a blank at the moment.

>>36189204
>"I don't know that we've met any that would be willing to help. They're mostly too invested in Titans' success against Zeon to get reelected."
Uh, how about anyone who's constituents are in space? Hell, Riah should have a delegate or two, who should be rioting right about now.

>>36189356
Londenion and Industrial 7?

>>36189204
"I see," Cima replies after you tell her the outcome of your mission against Titans. "To think they used the same tricks that Zeon used against me and my men... deplorable."

Karen nods in agreement. "And we have evidence of the results of the attack. There'll be no denying this."

Cima frowns. "You say the Pegasus vessel destroyed itself?"

Audrey nods. "We think they were covering their involvement. Slave Wraith may have known their payload, while the other teams didn't."

"They no doubt plan to pin the whole thing on the penal legion," Haman explains. "It'll satisfy some of their own members enough to keep them asking too many questions, and preserves some face with the Federal Assembly."

"So you plan to leave Titans?" Cima asks, looking straight at you.

You nod. "We agreed unanimously."

The older woman laughs loudly, settling into the tiger skin draped over her chair. "Excellent! You all survived, AND you left Titans! Absolutely splendid! I knew our politicians underestimated you."

"I aim to please, Cima. I aim to please. Being too predictable would ruin my roguish image, afterall."

"You looking to get back into the whole ship's captain gig again? We've a captured Alexandria out here in need of a crew..."

Another thing to cement her loyalty would be to inform her we have a Pathfinder currently tracking a shipment of Luna Titanium destined for Ronan Voight.

Stole it from the Zabis. Piracy on a freighter. Who knows really.

>Did she just decide it would look cool and got a pattern made?
This.

>>36189863

shes had it since 0083.

probably spoils from the OYW.

>>36189863
I think she got it after she killed it wih her own hands and skinned it with a rock she sharpened herself.
Or at least that's the kind of thing I expect from her.

>>36189452
"Sounds like your politicians are idiots, who assume that soldiers are somehow MORE incompetent than they are," you reply disdainfully. "So, that tipoff was meant to end with us getting ourselves killed?"

Cima nods. "You have three potential inheritors to the Zeon legacy on your ship, along with a large number of Newtypes and advanced mobile suits."

"So a lot of them see us as a threat," Haman concludes.

"That's correct," Cima confirms.

"So what do YOU see us as?" Carya asks. "Be straight with us for once."

Cima shrugs. "You're soldiers who deserve better leadership than you've been given, like I was once. Personally, I want to see you become your own masters some day."

"But those are just the hopes of one old soldier. It's up to you what you want."

Next, ALICE manages to secure a clear, secure line to Admiral Kowen.

"Captain, Commander," he greets you suspiciously. "Where are your Titans insignia?"

"We ditched them when we found out the Titans leadership's gone insane with power," Karen explains. "And anyone who's wearing them is about to become VERY unpopular with the general public."

"Why?" he asks, his eyes narrowing dangerously. "What has that fool Jamitov done now?"

You have ALICE show him the images of protestors lying dead in the streets on Libot, their blood running freely from their mouths and eyes as it pools in the gutters. You have him examine the images Carrina took of the downed Slave Wraith machines, the images you took of Titans' "black machines" firing on each other, and radio transcripts of your confrontation with Chap Adel when he found out what Titans had ordered.

"This was no accident," Kowen declares angrily. "It's obvious that this was carefully orchestrated."

"What do you need me to do?"

>Write in

>>36189986
"Have anyone in the Admirality and Assembly you implicitly trust? Because now is the time to let them know the face of the enemy Zeon should have fought against.

>>36189986
"Preferably, get them disbanded. At the very least, convince the EFSF to stay out of the fight I'm about to pick with Jamatov, and convince the Federal Assembly that combining no oversight with weapons of mass destruction is a terrible idea, and have them strip the Titans of their WMD's before they use them again. The Titans will claim that Slave Wraith went rogue, under their own argument they shouldn't be trusted with those kinds of weapons

>>36189986

We're putting together footage from the battle with and testimonies from the penal legions members that we rescued and will be broadcasting it to the earth sphere. Anything that can be done to rustle up support against the Titans and cause the government to denounce them would be good. We know your situation still isnt all that good so it'll be best not to put yourself at too much risk though.

>>36189986
A League, no a Reformation League, a
Federation Reformation League... Let us all cling together!

>>36189986
"Information mostly. You have pull in the Admiralty. As long as there are no more Wyatt's, getting some of the old farts on our side wouldn't be hard. In short, anything that would be detrimental to the Titans and Jamitov while also keeping your head attached to your shoulders."

>>36190097
no, shut up

>>36189986
"Pass this up to any friends you have in the Assembly that you can still trust. We need to put pressure on the Titans, and with evidence like this I'm sure there has to be at least one politician willing to act on it."

>>36190097
you fucking say this every thread could you stop

>>36189986
"Immediate wide media coverage that'll make the Assembly members still in with the Titans think twice about continuing their support. Otherwise, it's the public's outrage they'd be facing now that Bask and Jamitov have resorted to what the Zabis did during the One Year War."

>>36189986
"We need support against Titans from members of the Admiralty and the Assembly," you explain. "You'd be our best shot at getting that."

The Admiral nods thoughtfully. "I suppose this evidence should be enough to get Kirikov off his ass. You'll need more Captains as well, and pilots. Are you considering Eiphar and Bright?"

You nod, suitably impressed. "Yes, sir."

"Very well," he sighs. "I'll see if I can't get Kirikov to send some of his boys over here to collect me. We'll get some military support arranged for you, and get back to you in a few days."

"And the Assembly?" you press.

He shakes his head. "They're worse than dealing with the Admiralty. You're on your own for that op, son. Don't count on backup."

You exchange salutes before the line cuts.

"So who's next?" Emma asks, settling into her chair.

"It may be a good plan to pick up these last few contacts in person," Karen points out. "Last we checked, Titans already had people in Anaheim and Woomera that we'll have to deal with to get Burning or Lucette's people."

>>36190551
>Head to La Vie en Rose, recruit technical support.
The Titans know we were there recently and that we had established contact with Lucille. They might suspect her more than South, meaning she might be in danger.

"We should put in at La Vie en Rose," you suggest. "The Belleau Wood and Tel Aviv need refitting, and we should get some of Lucette's team on our ship sooner rather than later."

"Deny them to Titans and keep them safe," Defrah mutters. "Yeah, makes sense."

"It'll take a day and a half to get there," Karen tells you. "Any other points before we break up for now?"

"Yeah, I had a random thought," a voice replies. You turn your head and spot Artesia standing in the doorway. "Something we could do when we get back to Earth that could win over the Assembly."

You cock an eyebrow at her. "Yeah? And that would be..."

"I'd like to talk to them in person," she continues. "Make a show of revealing my identity, and our unit's departure from Titans. It'd get us free publicity, and may win over some political support against Titans."

"And they'd let you in for what reason, exactly?" Haman asks pointedly.

Artesia shrugs. "We've got mobile suits and two large ships."

That'll prove that Titans is needed to fight such a militarily powerful threat.

>"...Well then."
>"Yyyyyeah."
>"This is awkward."

>>36191130
>taking a few minutes to work on food, seems like we're going with something along the lines of "it's a crazy idea, but I kinda dig crazy"

>>36191492
Well, yeah. I fully expect Dom to princess carry Sayla back to her room and make out for suggesting dropping a colony sized object through the atmosphere.

>>36191417
The Rub' al Khali desert, as I recall. We could probably hit it up on our way in to Dakar, if we flew east to west.

>>36191555
No. She's Amuro's remember?

>>36191594
That an A not a D silly.

>>36191559
We might need to leave a team behind to salvage it. Depending on our timeframe. Would it be infested with Zeon soldiers at this point or no?

>>36191594
Thought Chan and Amuro were working together at this point. Well, Chan crushing on Amuro while Amuro went full Explain Further.

>>36191594
She's not "anyone's", anon. Same as how Haman, the Sisters, Rosse, and Audrey aren't "yours".

>>36191631

Yea but Arthesia did kiss him before they left.

Thats gonna be on his brain that out there, she still loves and wants him.

That makes a relationship between the two abit unlikely.

>>36191631
>Grey Phantom
The Gray Phantom and Troy Horse took part in the naval review near Konpei Island in UC 0083. The ship was presumed to be damaged during the subsequent nuclear assault conducted by the Delaz Fleet.

In Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, the wreck of the Gray Phantom is seen on Earth lodged in a mountain side and is being used a Zeon remnant base. It's unknown how the Gray Phantom's hulk ended up on Earth.

>>36191673
She come to realize that she doesn't love him that way. It's more like the love a sister has for their brother.

>>36191667
if NTR appears here I will make alot of whiny pouty noises on the internet

>>36191700

Yes. But does Amuro know that?

All he knows is that she kissed him and said she still does.

>>36191667
Well yes, but that doesn't mean that hitting on her isn't dumb as hell.

>>36191700
When the hell did that happen? We had a vote on what she felt, and explicitly voted that she still liked him romantically.

>>36191700
She's said she feels that way about Dom, too. So both of them are ineligible for giving the dick.

>>36191736
No. Audrey said that.

>>36191749
And to expand on that she said that Sayla likes Dom as a friend or a like a brother. Personally I'm hoping it's more along the lines of the second.

>>36191695
So that's a yes on possible salvage then. Still doesn't answer the question if it's a Sleeves staging point though.

>>36191734
>When the hell did that happen? We had a vote on what she felt, and explicitly voted that she still liked him romantically.
She said it a few threads later when asking for help working her feelings out. Though as I recall she said she wasn't sure how she felt about him, so she could go either way. Also, I believe our advice was "Don't try to force it if you're not feeling it, but you should at least give it a shot". So it might still be a romantic thing.

>>36191631
the carrier Gray Phantom were lost, the latter with some survivors. The Gray Phantom came down in one structurally sound piece, but was too far gone to be repaired.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Shadows of Zeon Quest #25

>>36191776
Not yet, Sleeves won't exist until after Char's Neo Zeon. And it just crashed a few months ago, anyway. It should be empty.

>>36191776
>>36191785
No I just look at it thread RIP Gray Phantom .

>>36191796
>not yet

Man, I wouldn't say that. Canon is beyond fucked at this point.

>>36191812
Hence SALVAGE. I know the ship is trashed and it's float system is nonfunctional. Doesn't stop the three mad scientists on our ship from reviving the thing.

>>36191899
Will let's do it!

>>36191130
“It's daring,” you admit. “Bordering on insane.”

Haman nods emphatically: you can tell she likes the plan almost on instinct, but can't quite approve of it rationally. “It's high risk, high reward... if you can't win them over we legitimize Titans' existence, but if it succeeds we'd be taking an ax to their political support.”

“It's something we should save for a rainy day,” Karen concludes. “It's not bad to have a few crazy plans in place for when smart ones won't do.”

Catrina gives a short, mirthful laugh, tossing her head back as she stretches out on the couch. “They think we're all about playing it smart and self-righteous. Taking over the Assembly is the last thing they'd expect us to do.”

“Makes it pretty much perfect,” Rosse agrees.

You stand up from your seat, suddenly feeling restless. “So, who's up to meet our 'ballsy' new guest, huh?”

There's a collective groan around the room. “Aw, it wasn't that bad,” you add defensively.

“It wasn't bad,” Apolly complains, “it was terrible. Sounded like something Ramba Ral would say.”

“... you take that back, buzz-cut,” Carya warns him. “You take that back right now.”

“Yeah, Ral didn't make puns,” Roberto rejoins. “He just couldn't pronounce things. Kept saying “EEE-YARTH. DEE-ZART. That sort of thing.”

“That doesn't make me feel better,” you mutter.

Audrey shrugs. “I thought it was kinda funny.”

Chris really is a wiener. She's practically nuts. She literally teabagged those Slave Wraith pilots.

>>36191961
Down in one of the guest quarters aboard the Nagato, you find the room assigned to Ball pilot the Sisters rescued mid-fight. Karen came down here with you to meet her, as did Carya and Rossweisse. Your other pilots have mostly decided to turn in and get some sleep, though you think Haman is still up talking to Diana, Marida, and Cynthia to get them to relax a bit. This is probably the first time they've felt so many people dying all at once, and it may well have shaken them a bit.

>>Knock on the door
Hey you got some balls!

>>36192091
>Knock on the door
We must share the ball jokes with her too.

>>36192091
>Knock on the door
Make at least 1 more Ball pun.

>>36192091
>>Knock on the door

Balls

>Chris says Coming!

>Stumble in on her changing
>Spill our spaghetti everywhere

But anyway. Knock on the door.

"You've got some testicular fortitude there."

>>Let yourselves in, but be polite about it

>>36192139
>>36192151
>>36192160
Great minds and all that.

>>36192091
>Knock on the door
Start with asking how the pilot is holding up and what possessed her to take a Ball out to engage multiple superior mobile suits.
Family in the colony perhaps? She'd probably want to find out if anyone close to her is still okay.
Most importantly, don't come in while devouring a burger.
Thankfully, Karen's more of a sandwich person anyway.

>>36192091
>Knock on the door
No reason not to be polite.

>Write in for what you want to talk to your guest about
Start with introductions, of course. Ask her why she piloting the Ball and what combat experience she has. Possibly recognize her name if she tells us she was the test pilot for the Alex, given our own test pilot history we might know of her. Ask her if she'd like to be let off back to Libot before we begin burn. Maybe offer her a job?

>>36192091
what's your name, how did you know about the attack, and would you like a new office? (office meaning mobile suit cockpit.

>>36192225
>cockpit

Let's not shaft her too hard Anon. She just got over her fear. That'd just stroke her the wrong way.

Knock but let ourselves in

>>36192287
I know that, but Dom doesn't. Thought it was best to get it out of the way.

>>36192287
Chris is not for lewds.

...unless it would turn her into a Newtype, because yesterday's thread would have gone a bit differently if she had had a third roll.

Oh yeah, forgot the most important part of the write-in here.

Thank her for intercepting some of the gas delivery MS and buying us time.

>>36192494
This.

>>36192423
Are you trying to get a small rise out of me Anon? Because it's really getting an amazing erection.

>>36192473
>Chris is not for lewds

Say that to my cock hard rock fucker and see what happens.

>>36192091
Seeing no reason to be impolite, and recalling that normal people sometimes have this value they place on privacy, you give the door a hard rap with your knuckles.

"Gimme a minute," you hear a female voice call out. Yeah, or course it's a woman. You're beginning to think Apolly and Roberto were the Universe's way of throwing you a bone.

After a few second the door opens, and a twenty-something woman with long red hair waves you in.

"Captain, Commander, Commander, Ensign," she greets you each in turn, immediately recognizing your ranks. No wonder she survived, she's probably a veteran.

"Come in, if you'd like."

You nod cordially and step inside, with Rosse eventually closing the door behind you.

"I have to admit, I'm surprised to see a man on this ship," the redhead tells you. "All the people I've dealt with so far have been women."

"Yeah," Karen grunts as she settles down onto a chair. "That's a whole thing. I'm Captain Joshua."

"Lieutenant Commander Marseille," Carya adds.

"Ensign Rossweisse," Rosse introduces herself with a little nod of her head. Wait, is that her last name, or her only name?"

"Commander O'Hara," you greet her, extending a hand to shake.

"I've heard of most of you. I'm Chris MacKenzie, former EFSF."

Karen raises one of her own red eyebrows at the name. "I've heard of you. You were the test pilot who shot down that Kampfer we've got in the NT-1 Gundam."

"Wait, you have that?" she replies incredulously. "I saw it out there, but I didn't realize it was the same machine."

"Lots of replacement parts," Rossweisse explains, which causes Chris to frown. Seems that battle is associated with some strong memories.

You quickly change the subject. "I actually referenced some of your reports on the magnetic joint coatings," you offer. "It was good work you did."

"Thanks," she tells you. "I always prided myself on that aspect of my former job."

"What got you out of the EFSF?" Carya asks.

Chris shrugs. "Cockpit phobia."

>>36192619
Fuck, we really did miss a chance for Dominic to cordially spill his pasta in a dignified manner befitting of of a Federation Officer.

>>36192619
We need to find Rosseweisse a last/first/whatever name.

>>36192715
I think it was O'Hara.

>>36192715
O'Hara.

Rosaline Rossweisse?

>>36192715
She'll take our last name when Dom eventually proposes.

>>36192619
"Wouldn't know it the way you took on that gas assault team," Catrina counters in a flash of red. "A bit of occupational therapy goes a long way, I guess."

Chris nods. "That's apparently the way it's done. Short-term exposure to the trigger helps a pilot get over it."

"Or you just throw yourself into the deep end and hope for the best," you point out, causing Christina's eyes to widen a little in surprise. Lovely shade of green. Proper Irish.

"How did you guess that?" she asks.

You shrug. "Newtype. Every pilot feels a little fear, but your fear was something I could almost reach out and touch. I'm impressed you handled yourself that well."

"So am I," she replies.

Just something for her to think on. Should probably clue her in that we're gonna be slapping Titans' shit soon.

Don't forget to ask if she'd like to use our comm systems to call back to Libot and tell any friends or family she has there that she's alright.
