"Commander," Karen offers with a nod. Then she turns her back to the screen and makes a quick slicing motion across her neck, signalling for ALICE to cut the feed.

Nakato's image disappears behind her like a bad dream.

She heaves a sigh. "The hell're we gonna do about this one?"

You shrug. "What CAN we do? We haven't made our split from Titans official yet, so you technically have seniority."

"We could pretend to still be with Titans for now," Audrey offers. "Gather some information first then meet later to plan our counter?"

Carya shakes her head. "Catrina and I are leaning more towards a quick covert action to secure the facility now."

"If Titans is here, they may have anticipated our plans," Haman points out. "Whatever we do, we can't be reckless here."

"Agreed," Karen replies.

Waiting for the other colony to drop. God damn it.

Have ALL of our vessels go to General Quarters just in case things go to shit and we need to blast our way out. Move the damaged vessels into the shadow of the Nagato and move the Valkyrie to screen those.

We play it by ear for now and figure out what the fuck is going down. Have Second Team and the Purus sit tight in their mobile suits to scramble on a moments notice while we go in under the guise of diplomacy. Bring along a fork of ALICE in a Haro so she can run electronic espionage and hijack the cameras and security doors. We need information more than anything right now and to secure the people we came to recruit.

Get access to La Vie En Rose's public access systems. Broadcast throughout the ship our evidence of what happened at Libot. Get another insurrection started, turn Nakato's men against him.

>>36310670

Have some pilots at the ready in their MS and the ship. If shit goes south, we'll need to move fast.

Any La Vie en Rose staff on hand who's already worked with us and knows us by reputation would immediately lend their hand for this.

>>36310779
That is a nice idea. I'd rather keep it as a last resort, not really sure how much of an effect it'd have if everyone's already Titans.

>>36310670
Alice: hack the ever loving god out of the facility.
It will have a lock down mode for defense verses attacks due to being a research facility. If things go loud, we can use that.

>Go in under the guise of diplomacy. Meet with this "Nakato" asshole, but be ready to start shooting if the situation demands it.

Well, obviously. Hearts said not to bring Lucette onto the station. So we haft to bring Lucette onto the station. Disguise her with a pair of aviators, a dye-job, and assign her the two burliest gorillas we have for security. Get her down in the engineering department and have her pull everything The Rose has while quietly informing said engineers there's a bigass ship to stowaway on.

What could possibly go wrong?

>>36310750
This

>>36310670
>>Suggest a quiet trip to gather a few important personnel, secure assets like Gundarium or mobile suits

>>36310670

Us and Karen go to 'De-brief' the Commander, while the others off-load some of Team 2's suits in order to repair the damaged ones and 'take on new supplies'

If needs be, we simply bully the captain into giving us the 'detainees'... possible berate him for jepordizing a operation to pin-point the Zeon Remenants base...

We could always imply that we are here to investigate where the G2 gas came from and we have been lead to a 'Titans Commander' here...

>>36310782
I still want that chat between Riddick and Dominic before our split reaches Titans officially. Just so we can throw out the "YOU'RE NOT FIRING, I QUIT" line.

>>36310670
You stand quietly for a few moments, playing out the possibilities and odds in your head. Phantom ships move back and forth across empty space into various positions, each with pros and cons. Finally, you hatch out the beginnings of a plan.

A string of orders issues from your mouth.

"Noel, Miyu, put Second and Third teams on combat alert. Defrah, I want you on the Valkyrie when we move in to dock. The Nagato's too big. Reiko, Catharine, tell the damaged Titans ships to hang back for now. I'll go in with Karen and a small team to meet Nakato, we should be ready for combat if it comes down to it."

Haman nods in apparent agreement. "ALICE, record everything. There's a chance Titans will use anything that goes wrong to their advantage, so let's be sure to get there first if we can."

"Reiko," Karen adds, "tell Lucette she's to send emails to her old teams. I want them to know what's going on."

"That... should cover it. We missing anything?" you ask.

Your reply is a series of heads shaking and shoulders shrugging. "I'm coming along," Carya adds. "Lord knows I need to keep my eye on you when you go off on missions like this."

"Recruitment?" Rossweisse asks skeptically.

Carya nods. "Recruitment."

The Valkyrie maneuvers out of the Nagato's forward hanger under Defrah's skilled hand, and quickly meets the docking arms of La Vie en Rose. There's no sign of Titans mobile suits or ships in the area...

"So how'd he get aboard?" Karen asks, narrowing her eyes.

Haman shrugs. "If they have any forces available, they've got them hidden so well our sensors couldn't pick them up."

"They'd be mobile suits," Carya points out. "Not surprising they'd disappear into whatever other mechanical marvels Anaheim keeps aboard the station."

You leave Defrah and a team of guards aboard the Valkyrie for security, and find yourself greeted by a young Titans Ensign.

I suspect he might be part of the ploy to lead our away team somewhere isolated to be executed or something, based on how skittish our guide is. But don't tip off Nakato that we are suspicious of that.

Seconding asking about the boy...


Clearly Titans have loaded La Vie En Rose with Nukes and intend to kill us off before we solidify any significant military support against their regime....

>>36311230
"Relax, Ensign. I don't bite. Do you think we can take a detour before meeting Nakato? I want to see to it that the prisoners are secure enough. You leave engineers too long to their own devices and they can come up with the most asinine things!"

Make small-talk. Ask how long the titans have been here. Current deployed assets. You know, general stuff. Make the kid feel important.

>>36311291
Ensign Red Shirt.

>>36311230
"Yeah, sure," you reply casually. "He struck me as the type to send someone else to do his bitchwork. So, what's your name, Ensign?"

With no immediate reply, Catrina decides to ramp up the pressure. "C'mon, kiddo, we won't bit... too hard."

The young Ensign ponders the issue a moment. "Cello."

"What, like the instrument?" Karen replies as you follow the guy down a corridor: one that you note isn't taking you towards Clehna's old office.

He nods. "Yes. Ensign Mashymre Cello."

Hang on, you know that name...

You exchange dubious glances with Carya. If Haman were here there's no doubt that she'd be able to figure out if this was the guy she's mentioned as being "a total creeper", especially since his blue hair should be pretty recognizable. Trouble is, you left her on the Valkyrie in Lilium's cockpit. As it stands it's just Karen, Audrey, and the Sisters.

You finally come to an unassuming door.

"The Commander is waiting for you inside," Ensign Cello tells you.

Again, you and your Newtype teammates exchange a series of doubtful looks. There's nobody inside this room.

Ask him why an organization as Zeon-hating as the Titans would employ one of the Axis refugees.

>>36311667
There's the other colony drop. He's going to (attempt) to take us prisoner. Or pump the room full of sleeping gas. I doubt Nakato is THAT paranoid however.

"So, is this the part where Nakato locks the door on us while he moves to engage our assets I take it? Probably intends for us to stew in worry while he gloats JUST AS PLANNED and pets an invisible, white feline."

A beat.

"That was a joke, Ensign. I don't like being pulled around. Get Nakato down here. *Now*.

Don't tell me he's planning to spray sleeping gas to our faces from that rose pinned to his shirt?

"One moment," you interrupt. "Your name sounds familiar."

"You may have heard someone's like it," the Ensign offers lamely.

You shake your head. "No, see, yours is a peculiar name. It stands out in the mind."

"Your mind is playing tricks," he insists, now a bit more nervous as Audrey and the Sisters flank him like a pair of damned velociraptors.

"Oh no," Audrey tells him. "We know who you are, we know where you're from. Haman mentioned you."

"Quite unfavorably," Catrina adds.

You nod to yourself. "Only two questions remain: why are you here, and why are you trying to lead us into an empty room?"

Now Karen's hand finds its way to her pistol.

"You can tell us, or we can get it out of you some other way..." she threatens. You can tell it's a hollow threat, but thankfully he can't.

Cello gulps nervously. "Fine. I'll answer you if you let me go. I'm guessing you want to know where..."

"... Nakato is in Clehna's office," Carya interrupts. "I know that already."

>What do you want to know? Keep in mind, Cello doesn't know all the answers.

>>36312094
Why are you here? Why did you lead us to an empty room? Where are the engineers?

After which, we lock him in the room meant for us.

>>36312094
"How long has Titans been here."

"How many security personal did Nakato bring?"

"What is the current mobile suit compliment of Titans. Any funny looking suits?" (possible Newtype machines)

"Has Titans destroyed the information regarding the shipment that WE had bugged in order to track down where it was going in the first place?"

"Where are the current prisoners being held?"

"Why in the Hell are you here?"

>>36312094

And why are you here?

>>36312094

"How long have you been ordered to lead us around the station, Ensign?"

"What did Nakato plan to do to us?"

In the meantime, if the Rose has any new mobile suits, should look into gifting them to ourselves when we have the chance.

>>36312094

"What's with the room?" Karen asks pointedly.

"Nakato wanted to trap you down here."

"Why?" Karen presses.

"Because he thinks you're in league with us."

"Who's us?" Audrey asks.

Cello hesitates until Carya draws her sidearm. "Okay, cool it, sorry... I'm from Mars Zeon."

"Why?" Carya asks.

"Infiltrating Titans."

"Where are the current prisoners being held?" Audrey asks him.

"Third Block of the hab ring."

"Titans force deployment?" you ask him. "And don't lie."

"Six mobile suits, twenty-five men," Cello informs you. "Two guards by Nakato's door. The balance are down in the hangars."

"What are Berninis plans for Axis?" Karen asks loudly. "Why is he pushing it towards the Earth Sphere?"

"He doesn't explain things to me," Cello sighs. He's being honest, you think. "He gave me my orders, and promised a pardon for Lady Haman after our victory."

"Where you'd presumably sweep her off her feet as her 'savior'... disgusting," Catrina spits.

Cello's eyes narrow dangerously, and the young man's finally got some bass in his voice. "I'd be saving her from you scoundrels."

>>36312661
This is good as will.

>>36312499
>Go back up to Nakato, bluff at being part of Titans still. Slap his shit, get him to leave.
He fucked up the operation to find the Garden of Thorns. Publicly transmit his failure to his men and tell them they are under our command since we are placing Nakato under arrest for gross negligence and treason.

>>36312589
>>36312565
DO NOT RAID THE PLACE. For the love of our kilt-clad Kinsmen. We have the perfect opportunity to bitch-slap and RECRUIT Nakato for our own ends. He just pissed in our punchbowl, but we can insinuate we've got bigger things lined up for him if he cooperates.

Being an integral member in finding and sacking the Garden of Thorns, yeah. It'll slake his prim little ego and get him out of our hair temporarily.

>>36312499
>Go back up to Nakato, bluff at being part of Titans still. Slap his shit, get him to leave.
He's still high on his promotion. Use that against him.

>Take him with you, for now

We should try to get Nakato to leave the suits here for us. Tell him he and his pilots have been relieved and are shipping out on the Nagato, put them in an el cheapo shuttle, then take out the shuttle's engines and push it towards the nearest colony before activating its distress beacon.

"Now," you instruct. "Please open this door."

Cello nods before doing what you ask. "So, this means you're going to..."

You have no idea what the young man was going to say before your right fist connected with his face like a runaway freight train: one that happened to be on fire and which subsequently exploded. You also don't know whether the impact with your fist, the one with the deck, or the whiplash between the two knocked him out. In the end, none of that matters.

You make sure to lift the key and lock up after yourself before heading upstairs to Nakato's office. You don't even bother to knock: the look of pure rage on Karen's face is enough to get you past the guards. Before stepping inside you shoot a quick message you've been working on to ALICE:

You're pretty much inclined to let Karen have this guy. She needs to chew on someone every now and then to relieve the pressure of command, to keep herself sane.

"What gives YOU the right," she interrupts calmly, "to interfere in one of our operations?"

"Your so-called 'operation' was to..." he begins, only to be interrupted again.

"We put a tracking device in the Gundarium shipment," Karen continues. "Clehna Hacswell was acting under our orders."

Nakato tries to speak again. "Why did you..."

"Why? Allow me yo explain it to you in a way you can understand," Karen purrs. "The Remnants were using mobile suits constructed in part from Gundarium alloy produced here, correct?"

"Correct," Nakato agrees.

Karen smacks her hand across Nakato's forehead: not enough to do any serious damage, but enough to rattle him. "Good. And where, does one wonder, did they upgrade those machines?"

"The... the Garden of Thorns?"

SMACK.

"Brilliant deduction!" Karen adds, her tone straining ever so slightly. "Now, Nakato, use your head for this one. If someone were to put a transponder into a shipment of Gundarium meant for the Principality remnants, where would that transponder eventually end up?"

"I... that is..." Nakato stammers nervously.

"Commander O'Hara?" Karen asks pointedly.

"The Garden of Thorns, ma'am," you reply. "Anyone with half a brain could tell you that."

"You get a gold star," Karen offers. "Now, Nakato, I have one last question for you. It's the same as the first one I asked: why."

SMACK.

"Did you and your men."

SMACK.

"Interfere?"

Nakato's face is bright red now, from both the repeated slaps and shame. "Commodore Om ordered us to keep tabs on you," he explained.

"But NOT to interfere with us?" you press. "Let's be clear on this, for our report to him. You were NOT ordered to interfere?"

A whimper tells you that your guess was right on the money: Nakato's overstepped the bounds of his mission, and in a big way.

Gives us the most control of the situation. We can broadcast that all titan crew on station will report to us, and that we have to aha, inspect the detained engineering crew.

Then of course we have to take them back to the ship now, since the operation has been blown and we can quarantine them most efficiently.

>I'll give you a ten minute head start

"Leave your suits here. Pilots too. They don't need to suffer for your stupidity."

Once he's gone, we go through the pilots and see which of them are willing to break with Titans and which aren't. The former we recruit, the latter we imprison for the duration of hostilities or until a prisoner exchange.

>everyone wants to arrest the bootlicker

Why? He's a fucking pissant. We turn him and use him as our mole inside Riddick HQ. We let him off the hook and he'll be under our thumb for the foreseeable future. Give him a bone every now and then and he'll come wagging his tail like a good little attack dog.

>>36313423
>You're going to be our bitch. Leave now, and wait for instructions.

Given the way he's getting played by us, he's never being allowed near anything important again, and that’s assuming Riddick and Hymen don't just execute him for gross incompetence.

>>36313423
> You're going to be our bitch. Leave now, and wait for instructions.
Well, put it more politely, but this. We're going to use him as a mole.

But first, he tells us where the captives are held.

You know that already. Mashy told you before you fed him his favorite three teeth.

The man is unreliable in the extream. I would not trust him to tie his own shoe laces, the only reason we are here is because he has shown to be unable to follow damn simple orders.

It's pretty simple really. We have him by the balls. He knows he fucked up since our CO smacked it into him. What's worse? Telling your trigger happy CO that you fucked up or going along with the crew that threw you a means to raise your status in the organization? We tell him we'll supply him the location of the Garden of Thorns (we won't of course) just to get him on our side so he can be a bigger Thorn in Titans. He's a bootlicker first and foremost and only thinks about fastracking his political career.

>>36313836
This will fall apart in short order as soon as we are away from here.

1) Hes already disobeyed orders
2) now hes about to let wanted traitors 'ie us' walk free with sod all resistance.
3) Losing all the crew of this place to us.

He is screwed which ever way the wind blows. This is ultimately pointless effort.

>>36313913
And to add on to that, the only way he gets out of this alive is if we try use him, and he does a double shift to save his skin by giving info about us away when we do.

This has bad idea painted all over it.

>>36313423
"I'm placing you under arrest," you inform Nakato.

"On what grounds?" he demands loudly. "At this point it's my word against those of suspected traitors!"

"Actually no, you numbskull," you shoot back, dangling your phone in front of him. "It's JUST your word. Everyone on this station knows what an idiot you are."

"You... how long was that thing on?"

You shrug. "From before I walked in."

Karen rises and knocks on the door. "Sentries? Please place Commander Nakato under arrest. Stick him in the station brig until further notice."

The two guards from outside step in, glaring daggers at their former commanding officer.

"You can't be serious..." he sneers.

The guards seem unimpressed. "Apologies, sir, but you'll have to come with us."

"But I'm your commanding officer!" Nakato shouts. "I command you! Seize these traitors at once!"

"I can't do that, sir," the second guard replies.

Then, Nakato does something incredibly stupid...

Karen's the only one who doesn't see what's coming. Carya's eye narrows in a frown as she literally sees events unfold seconds ahead of time, but remains calmly where she sits. Audrey leans her chair back and pushes off the front of Nakato's desk as he fumbles with the holster at his hip, and you tackle Karen to the ground even as he finally frees his weapon from its restraints...

... but not nearly fast enough.

Three bullets tear through Nakato's uniform, spattering the shelves behind the desk with his blood. A fourth round hits his head, just above his left eye.

He's dead before his body hits the floor. The pistol he was trying to draw on you in desperation never quite cleared leather.

"Apologies," one of the guards offers as the two salute. "Are any of you hurt?"

"We're fine," Karen replies, straightening her uniform.

"Miss Hacswell won't be happy about this," Carya mutters, still sitting in her chair.

It's not a roll for combat operations. If it were, I'd have allowed a reroll.

>Speaking of which, we're freeing Clehna and her personnel now.

Okay, so on one hand, we release Clehna, then if Bask call, we fight our way out of the La Vie en Rose.

On the other, we convince Titans to stand down, Bask is told to fuck off, Clehna gets kiddnapped or executed by the ones that don't turn.

"Karen, what do you say? Fifteen minutes?"

"Fifteen is good, yeah," she agrees as you punch the PA button on Clehna's desk.

"Attention Titans forces," you announce. "This is Commander O'Hara. Your previous Commander is no longer fit for duty. There will be an announcement in fifteen minutes in the mess hall. Please assemble there for instructions."

"Now," Carya muses. "Let's go get Clehna, shall we?"

When you arrive in Hab Block 3, you find that a crew of Anaheim engineers are already working on breaking down the doors to the rooms where Clehna and the other chief technicians are being held. They're grateful that you've brought the keys Nakato was carrying.

"How'd you get these?" one of them asks.

"No matter," you reply. "Just get these doors open."

Out of the third door you try steps Clehna Hacswell, looking rather ruffled and bruised but happy to be alive.

"You have my gratitude," she thanks you rather stiffly. "I'm afraid Nakato intercepted the shipment... and your transmitter."

"Not your fault," Audrey reassures her.

"Get things in order here," Karen orders. "We need to sort out the remaining Titans."

"Sorry," ALICE reports as you make your way back down to the galley. You can't help but wonder if her voice has gotten smoother recently: there's a little less of a robotic quality about it. "Three Titans pilots have chosen to escape, taking their mobile suits with them. Shall we pursue?"

That reminds me: What are Oldtypes doing piloting Gaplants? In canon they produce accelerations too much for the average human to handle. And it would be impractical to perform Cyber-Newtype surgeries on all the pilots. So do these Gaplants have lower thrust, or have better G-suits and linear seats been developed to cope?

>>36315375

And Char is being a surveyor.

>>36315395
My money is on a REZEL style OS personally.

So: Gaplant upgrade idea. The way I see it, the Gaplants are great machines, but have two main weaknesses:
1. They're really demanding to pilot, which limits their potential aplication as a mass production machine
2. They have an extremely limited selection of weapons. (literally the only weapons it can have are inbuilt rifles and beam sabers)
So I was figuring we'd take a page out the RGZ-95 REZEL for inspiration. First, we replace the head with a more standard Feddi head, with inbuilt vulcans (sized for eventual EPAC rounds if possible). Next, we make a newbie friendly OS like the REZEL used, which can be disabled by a veteran to access full range of motion. Last, we add a few hardpoints allowing the Gaplant MKII to carry stardard federation weapons, grenades, ect. We'd have to place them carefully because of the transformation sequence of course.

Anyone can pilot a Gaplant, it's just a matter of whether or not the pilot can use it to its full GOTTA GO FAST potential. Cyber-Newtypes can do it by default because of the physical enhancements while Yazan is just a tough bastard.

"Send Haman and Rosse to recover them," you order. "But make sure they prioritize their own safety."

"Yes sir!" ALICE replies brightly.

The remaining Titans have assembled in the galley of La Vie en Rose, and you quickly punch up a combination of buttons to turn on a ceiling-mounted projector. Anaheim employees have movie night in here sometimes, you remember Defrah telling you.

Well, this is going to be a different sort of movie-viewing experience.

"So, sir," one of the Titans asks you. "What is this announcement?"

You look her over briefly: completely ordinary, aside from her uniform. Looking around, so are most of the other Titans in the room. You wonder how they'll respond to what you're about to show them.

"This is footage taken yesterday after a Titans force was sent to subdue Libot colony," you inform them. "Look closely. This was ordered by Bask Om himself."

Curiosity is the initial response. Scenes of Titans' black machines advancing on a Colony and wiping out its defense forces, from a recovered cockpit recorder. Then the curiosity quickly disappears as new footage is shown. Some can't watch, but the sounds of the comm records from the incident are a grisly narration of the events they refuse to see.

The young woman who asked you about your announcement earlier stands, crying silently as she watches in horror. Another man vomits into a trash bucket. Still others clutch at their Titans insignia, a few of them removing the pins and slinging them across the room or allowing them to clatter to the linoleum.

"Those among you who want to make this right," Karen announces simply, "meet us by the Valkyrie's airlock in thirty minutes. Pack any belongings you may have."

this

>>36315646
It's a ship actually. Even though we call it a station. It's just a highly specialized repair, refit, and manufacturing ship is all. And it's about the length of two Pegasus' actually. We could probably fit it in the bow dock of the Nagato.

>>36315716
>>36315646
To further iterate. It has arms to clamp down on ships. We can attach it to the Nagato for transport while not moving under it's own thrust.

As you turn to leave, you shoot a few of the Titans an understanding glance. "Sorry you had to find out like this," you tell them, "but you deserved to know. What you choose to do with that knowledge is your business."

Karen makes her way back to the ship, while Audrey and the Sisters go downstairs to retrieve Cello. Clehna is waiting for you in her office, eying the blood wearily. "This is going to take forever to come clean," she moans.

"Sorry," you offer politely. "Nakato didn't want to go quietly."

"I take it you're here to discuss repairs?"

"We have two ships," you report. "I'd also like you to hand over any Gundarium you have."

"Very well," the older woman replies. "We'll have it loaded. I'll also send Emary and Lucette our current technical notes for machines we had in testing when Nakato showed up."

"Thanks," you reply with a smile. "I'll have our crews on the Nagato help with the repair process, if you need it."

Clehna nods with a tired smile of her own. "I think we'll need it."

>Other business?
>Go back to the ship?

>>36315976
That's not really how we've been playing things though.

>>36315895
>A World Without Boundaries.
If we're ripping something off I think I'd rather it be this.

>>36315990
"So, what? That's it? You're just handing over all of the data to us and not going to do anything with it? Do you not want to build to your hearts content with no constraints short of resources?"

"I'm offering a job opening for your team and thinking about stealing the La Vie en Rose too. Wouldn't want the Titans to get ahold of it now would we?"

>>36315990
>Other business?
go fetch Mashy

>>36315990
I've got nothing

>>36315990
>>Other business?
What happen here and anything you think I need to know?

>>36315990
>>Other business?
"Hamam? Will you be a dear and get down here? Someone's been looking for you."

Time to deal with Cello. And maybe recruit him if he goes completely for her SM approach.

>>36315990
>Go back to the ship?
Monitor the progress on the Titans' suits being chased. Heck, maybe it's all over at this point and Haman and Rosse is just coming in to the hangar.

>>36315990
>Other business

Let Clehna know what we just told the Titans on board, and the high likelihood of what amounts to a civil war in the Titans and the EFSF happening in the near future. Offer our assistance in whatever preparations she and her personnel need to make. Ask if she wants to see Lucette, now that it's safe for her to return.

>>36316134
This and >>36316161
this

>>36315990
Now that we have sufficient quantity of Gundarium, what exactly would be the best mobile suit for us to mass produce?

Hell, since Clehna's here, we could just BUY us several mass production suits.

>>36315990
>Other business?
Let her know about what's happening with the Titans and how there's likely to be open fighting between them and the EFSF soon.
Also, Lucette is on the Nagato if she wants to meet.

>>36315772
Got a better one for you. More simple, more meaningful, more memorable.

Hope.

>>36315990
>Other business?

Joint Business Venture?
Get the La Vie en Rose in our rag-tag fleet...
It would allow us to keep them from falling under the Titans Heel again...

>>36316218
I wonder if it'll be enough to make a couple more Ikebanas and have all of them fit for individual pilots in the 1st team?
Might have to ditch either the sub-arms or funnel capabilities to lighten the mental load though, in the case of Audrey and Rosse.

>>36316218
RMS-141 Xeku Eins

>>36316218
We could go with the Gaplant MKII that >>36315442 proposed. Other notable options are:
The Dendrobium MK II
Nemo (Federation standard, was the AEUG mobile suit of choice late gryphs-Neo Zeon war)

>>36316308
We still have the data for the original Lilium suits. Producing them without the hilariously expensive psychommu for oldtypes would be grand. The Liliums were incredibly modular in their design and would be perfect for our needs. One multi-role suit versus several specialized suits. It's literally a Lego set that can be tailor built for the mission at hand.

>>36316358
eh, that suit is kinda Meh. The GM III is better really.

>>36316218
RX-124 Gundam TR-6
That weapons systems.

>>36316431
Kampfer Kai's. You can't go wrong with a Kampfer. Especially one upgraded with more armor, better maneuverability, less fuel consumption, a better generator for plasma weaponry. We already have a tried and tested suit. It's old, sure, but it's still incredibly good. Upgrading it into the Kampfer Amazing would put it on the same level as our original Liliums or even surpass them for little cost.

>>36316218

Quebeleys for everyone!

>>36316515
not really. Its not built for sustained combat and doesn't have a transformation ability. Also, icky monoeyes and lack of vulcans. And upgrading it into the Kampfer Amazing would be a terrible idea, how the hell would you store that thing?

>>36316515
>Kampfer Amazing
But we'd have to be a Meijin to get an Amazing.

>>36316569
the weapon pods do not have to be on it at all times

>>36316218

I mean, if it was a question of the BEST ass produced suit then we should probably go with the GM III, the Jegan or the Jesta.

The question is really, what is the best suit we CAN mass produce?

>>36316508
That would be so awesome to mass-produce. The best part is that with all its option parts it can be adapted for any situation. It can be a general purpose combat suit, all sorts of flying transformable suits, giant mobile armors, artillery suits. It's the full package, depending on how you use it.

>>36316605
Right, and storing the machine partially disassembled would kill its ability in a scramble situation. Also, we don't have any useful stocks of that suit TO mass produce.
>>36316614
Most likley the Nemo or the upgraded Gal\plant.

>>36316569
>hating monoeyes

You take that back right now you son of a bitch. I'll fight you.

And what do you mean storing it? The weapon pods? They're detachable. The Kampfer is a modular suit as well with it's weapon hardpoints and can be equipped for the mission at hand. We've also had plenty of time to test and pilot the thing so we know it's damn good and was comparable to our Liliums.

>>36316579
We're not a Meijin, but all of our engineers are.

>>36316632
No, the full package would be the Build Strike.

>>36315990
"So... you're just handing this all over?"

"That's right," Clehna agrees.

"We don't have to pay you?"

"Not one red cent."

You cock your head at her. "You're really not happy about all of this, are you?"

Clehna shakes her head. "Not in the least. The higher-ups ordered us to make another shipment to the remnants, just before Nakato turned up."

You shrug. "Then work for us," you suggest. "We're thinking about going into business for ourselves, as it were. You and your crew would apparently be safer on the Nagato than here, and we wouldn't be ordering you to supply weapons to the goddamn space Nazis."

Clehna looks thoughtfully at you. "I... would have to consider that offer."

"Take your time," you reply as you turn to leave. "We can probably leave the Nagato here for a few days as protection."

Next, you figure you should welcome Haman and Rosse back from their mission. They land in the Valkyrie's hanger not long after you board the ship again.

"How'd it go?" you ask as Haman dismounts from the Lilium.

"We were forced to kill one," she admits wearily, "but the other two eventually stood down."

You look an arm around each of them and walk them out of the hanger, headed for the bridge.

"You did good, both of you."

As you float through the corridors Rosse leans into your side a bit, and Haman's gloved fingers entwine with your own. For a while, life is good. You just rescued a bunch of technicians who seem like they're going to help your team now, won over several more Titans to your cause, and once more you're surrounded by the people you care about most.

Then Haman spots him: Mashymre Cello. Audrey and Carya are dragging his sorry ass towards the brig when he spots her as well.

"Lady Haman!" he calls out to her, suddenly thrashing enough that Audrey has to knock him to his knees and subdue him in place.

"Lady Haman! I've come to take you back to Zeon! Please, step away from that man at once!"

>>36316671
Right, we forgot to tell her. Fuck. Hope this doesn't start any rumors.

>>36316649
the pods are add-ons so it would be fine in a scramble and it is just a better version of the kempfer

I'll support building Nemos or Gaplants because it's the only thing we CAN actually build.

Unless someone miraculously comes up with the plans for a GM III.

>>36316614
Right now? A Hizack.

Oh, and here's another question for the ages since our team already began development on it.
Besides the Zeta, which mobile suit would benefit the most from a Biosensor? Better yet, take any MS we have access to now, add said Biosensor onto it, and then ask yourself what that would result in?

>>36316671
how long do you guys think it will take before he cries

>>36316741
gaplants are a no due to the issues with it and nemos are just kinda better GM's

>>36316671
Oh this is going to be good.

>>36316771

Nemos are better than the GM II's for sure but are they better than the GM III's?

>>36316753
High performance MS like the Gaplants.
>>36316764
2.5 seconds. She just responds by kissing us.
>>36316771
What issues? I mean all it takes is a software limiter to make it pilot-able by oldtypes. Also, the Nemo stayed combat capable through the entire neo zeon war.

>>36316741
Well, we did want to recruit Camille.

>>36316764
He's going to break so hard he'll retroactively start crying when he left Mars.

>>36316753

What if we encourage a different development line for the Unicorn line of suits? The Unicorn gets a Psychoframe, the Banshee gets the Biosensor. It fits thematically too, Psychoframe for the pure Gundam model and a Biosensor for the more savage one. Bonus points if we give it the Biosensor's fancy semi-fire glow effect where the Psychoframe lines used to be.

>>36316764
I'm just worried that this will start some "He's in league with Zeon, it was a false flag" rumor among the Titans folk here.

>>36316828
That's the NITRO system that does the fire and savagery. The bio-sensor is just an advanced psycommu. That said, you idea has merit. I like it.

>>36316671
Haman's grip on your hand tightens as you feel disdain fill her thoughts: the emotional and mental equivalent of a sneer.

"What is HE doing here?" she hisses softly to you.

"He was infiltrating the Titans team that took over La Vie en Rose," you explain quietly. "You don't have to reply if you don't want to."

Haman quietly leads you and Rosse past Mashymre, whose look of delight at seeing Haman slowly dissolves into confusion, and eventually into heartbreak as he realizes she isn't even looking at him.

"Please dispose of that fool," she requests firmly, still refusing to even look at Mashymre as he kneels on the deck.

And that's all she says about it.

She doesn't criticize him, or argue with him, or debate his beliefs with him. Instead, she chooses not to even interact with him: almost as if he were a piece of trash she asked Audrey and the Sisters to pick up and throw away.

You hear him still shouting her name as you round the corner.

Ouch.

That was so fucking hot.

>>36316876
And since recent events have taken a bit out of me, I'm going to have to call an early (for me, at least) end to it. Archives are now up.

Thanks for playing, and see you tomorrow!

>>36316870

It's that when the Biosensor goes apeshit, in the newer iterations and in particular the Zeta compilation movies (if I'm not mistaken), the glow also has a bit of a fire effect going on with it. Or I could be mixing it up with SRW Z3's animations of the Zeta, which are really pretty-looking and admittedly always super close to the source material.

>>36316876
damn thats cold, does mashy really deserve that kind of disdain
