It feels weird having to fight this Angel outside of Montréal-3. And this red storm certainly isn't making me feel more comfortable.

>>46332429
It'll be alright. Nice hat.

>>46332429
>>46332339
We got anything unusual from meteorology on that light? Can we count on the weather to hold up for this operation?

Get a high altitude spy plane up there. Wanna see if we can find this thing's core before we have to face it.

>>46332429
Think of it as taking the fight to the Angels. We're on the offensive for once.

>>46332339
Can we pick anything up out of the ordinary on it?

This storm appeared shortly after the 6th Angel landed. Our Science Team said it's there to stay.

Low visibility, extreme winds, this will be our hardest fight yet. Still, being on the offensive for once is somewhat uplifting.

Can we get a rundown of our Expeditionary Force?

>>46332545
Can we use the cameras on the mechs to help target the railgun shots?

>>46332510
We have the whole U.N. second fleet air group that is already trying to find the Angel.

>>46332709
If I remember correctly, Positron weapons are not railguns, but rather particle accelerator cannons.
VERY powerful particle accelerator cannons.

>>46332819
This begs the question-what are we keeping the power source of the positron gun in?

>>46332833
You mean the S2 Engine, you mean?
I would assume it's built into the gun. No clunky wires or blackout-inducing power rerouting here

>>46332876
We're not, uh, letting Eileen use that I hope.

>>46332907

We're picking up a lot of A.T. activity inside the storm so it is definitely maintained by the 6th Angel. As Clark said, visibility will be poor once inside.

I don't know yet, but you can ask the Science Director once the briefing starts. Which it will in... 10 minutes from now.

[Florence]
Thank you Major. Nerv-Montréal personnel seems really eager to exchange clothes.

[As you enter the CIC, the Vice-commander make you a sign to seat yourself.]

As you all know, we are 8 hours away from a third artillery strike from the 6th Angel. The last one melted 13 of our 38 remaining Geofront Armored Layers.

The Angel's precise location is unknown, but the U.N. Second Atlantic Fleet narrowed down the only area where the Angel could be. Paired with Nerv-Montréal's MAGI Supercomputer analysis we have 3 possible locations for the angel. Unfortunately, these are the other of a corridor of extreme weather. Extremely punitive winds, significant A.T. noise.

>>46333465
Did the angel showed any significant AA capability?

>>46333465
I'm assuming that the Angel's trigger-happy tendencies will prevent us from getting any more information via drone/bomber plane scouting?

>>46333551
It's been sniping satellites and such for a while now I believe. Storm aside, I don't think we can engage this thing from the air.

>>46333606
Yeah, that's why I hoped we would have some precisions. Maybe the spy satellites were destroyed by heating them up slowly or a simple discharge of power.

I still don't know if it's viable to deploy air assets against this one.

If we can do anything with this blizzard.

>>46333465
It's in B. If I were an Angel I'd sit in B.

>>46333465
B would be a nice place to set up an artillery encampment, wouldn't you agree?
Well protected, surrounded at all sides by high mountainous walls, etc.
I say it's in B

>>46333667
>>46333465
Knowing our luck, it'll be at C; the most difficult battleground out there.

>>46333465
B would be too easy, It\s obviously in the shittiest place possible, C.

>>46333751
>>46333713
>>46333667
B makes sense but so does C-that's where the storm is thickest as if it's originating from there.

We could cross at A where the storm is thinnest and move down southwest, clearing possible sights as we go if we have time.

>>46333465
I agree with the others, point B is an optimal area for the angel to set up shop. While C has the storm wall, that's a pretty double edged sword, and A is a violation of common sense. Still, we all know what Benny Hill has to say about times when you assume.

Seeing as an arial approach is impossible, do we have any viable method of ground-based recon?

>>46333804
Sounds like a possible idea

Should we split the Evas for a recon run?

>>46333804
I have the feeling that we won't be able to go through each location without the Angel recovering enough from the salvo to come.

>>46333975
>"Don't split the Party!" Nightmares coming back
Let's stick together.

>>46333975
No. No splitting. The one without the positron rifle should take point with normal weaponry, but that storm is no place to get separated in.

>>46333551
It showed the capacity to destroy our satellites through high intensity instantaneous blasts. I'd say the Angel is capable of those attacks at short range too.

>>46333655
Our YAGR-3b are capable of navigating through this blizzard. However their engines will burn out relatively quickly. Keep this in mind when issuing orders to the CAG.

As you know there are no Eva infrastructure here in Greenland. As such, we brought Mobile Eva Power Supplies. Their Umbilical Cords are longer than the one we got back at Montréal-3, but they are more fragile. They can be lifted by VTOL, towed by tanks or even brought by Eva Units. They can supply an Eva Unit for 35 minutes.

Unfortunately, the U.N. Second Atlantic Fleet couldn't bring every unit we had. Only 4 conventional units and 2 Eva units. Which one did we bring? I'll let the Major brief everyone.

>>46334100

>Either Temperance or King

Unit 02 - Positron Rifle
Unit 03 - Pallet rifle

3 tanks - Allows us to drag a pair of power plants and fire support
Sword - Point
Club - Fire support/Eva plant
Cup - Fire support/Eva plant

1 VTOL -
AC -Scout with its up-rated engines. Should last longer in the storm.

>>46334100
ACE
SWORD
JACK
CUP

Second battle group ! I summon you !

Coin have no module installed by the way.

>>46334227
This sounds like a good idea to me. We don't want to rely too much on aerial units for this one.

>>46334203
Yeah, got ninja'd.

Looks like Ace & Sword are a given. I'd say club and either King or maybe Chariot. If we're going to split the party I want to at least get a dynamic entry.


...You know, depending on how froggy our pilots are feeling, we could see if and where they draw fire from.

>>46334227
Sounds like a plan. I support it.
By the way, can an Eva carry more than one ranged weapon at a time? Like carrying a rifle by hand, and a handgun in a wing holster?

>>46334227
I was thinking. Maybe we could use Chariot to drop both EVA unit on the Angel right after the salvo. It would be easier to spot from the sky and having the EVA directly on it when he's the weakest would be a plus. It's bold, we take the risk of not being able to destroy it in 5 minutes, but it could pay off.

How large is the area? Is it possible to deploy the MEPS in a short notice?

>>46334476
Are we 100% positive that destroying it would break apart the salvo?

>>46334518
We are sure that he use his AT field to generate the salvo. With the power of the Solomon Cannon combined with the fact that his AT field could be depleted (Maybe even more), we could really have the upper hand.

But it's a risky plan. Maybe too risky.

File: HSci_01.jpg (129 KB, 600x1000)

129 KB JPG

>>46334518
You also need to determinate when the strike will take place, Major. We can mobilize and attack before the Angel begins its salvo, or after.

Remember that this Angel uses its A.T. Field to generate its attacks.

>>46334518
>Guy is shooting at you
>You shoot him till he's dead
>"is he gonna keep shooting, guys?"

so 2 plans
Footslog vs Paradrop.

Footslog
2 evas + 4 any mix
Pros
Don't face the AA firepower of the Angel
Can bring tanks and hold the MEPS out of the line of fire

Cons
Time
Harder to spot the angel

Paradrop
2 eva + 1 bomber with cradle + 3 units

Pros
Find the Angel faster
Faster into combat

Cons
Splits the eva team (We only have one cradle)
On batteries until we can link up.

>>46334601
Does that mean that we can deploy MEPS near the possible locations of the Angel?

It would make this proposition a little more realistic. Having at least one, two if we are lucky MEPS in the Area would make the 5 minutes countdown a lesser threat.

Can the cradle support both EVA?

>>46334601
Attacking it directly will allow us to neutralize its AT Field, possibly averting a third attack altogether.
I say find it and prepare to attack immediately.

>>46334619
>Guy is shootings at a rock with his canon
>Lets attack before he shoots the canon. Not like he'll turn the canon on us.

>>46334100
ACE
SWORD
KING
CHARIOT

We should try to drop in the EVAs, but keep in mind any approach by air will be cut down quickly. I agree that I think the Angel will be at location B.

>>46334619
You're right, I hurr durred. I was thinking the major was implying by killing the Angel in time the initial shot would dissipate.

I think hq comes before the ease of the mission for us. We should go ahead and attack.

>>46334683
This is a possibility. You need to keep in mind that you can't drop them from our bomber wings. Instead they need to be placed there with VTOLs or tanks, so the timing will be tricky.

>>46334353
The fin holster can only carry a Prog. Knife.

>>46334772
Still. Can we use the Eva cameras to accurately aim the mega-railgun?

>>46334792

>>46334792
Of course. The Eva Units have a sophisticated suite of sensory equipment. As soon as we have a precise location, the Second Child will be able to fire through the storm.

>>46334892
Same. Thing. A gun is a particle accelerator, just all the particles in the bullet and nothing else. A railgun accelerates a steel rod while the particle accelerator accelerates a (insertmetalhere) rod.

>>46334926
You are retarded. The Particle Accelerator Cannon does not fire rods of anything.

It fires, wait for it, PARTICLES!

>>46334926
I'm pretty sure an accelerator cannon fires loose particles in a line, not a solid object.

Here is my plan.

Starting at the forward base, the tank divisions move forward to location A. EVA 1 and 2 are positioned at a MEP on the map.

If there is no sighting, Move on to location 2. Then 3. Actually the plan is fairly simple. Any comments or adjustments? It of course relies on a flexible Chariot.

>>46335042
>They know

>>46334985
>>46334947
Well then logically the range of this weapon would be limited to a single mile since this line of particles would hit so far away from the target via air molecules it would do nothing. Also F=MA means that a couple atoms traveling at 0.0001c wouldn't actually do much except drill a mm sized hole in the target.

>>46335065
Of course they do. CAG said it is funny and keeps them on their toes when we belt out conflicting orders like a machinegun bullets.

>>46335042
How much time would we have left if were were to move to location A and then B?

>>46335078
Well seeing as a puncture of ANY size can potentially ruin an S2 engine (thus killing the Angel instantly), size of the hole is not really an issue.
Also, I'm pretty sure it's a LOT more than just two atoms.

>>46335078
I retract my insult of calling you a retard. You are actually just trying to apply logic to science fantasy.

You are a fool.

>>46335140
The particle accelerator makes more sense if it has a solid projectile instead of a squishy gas.
>>46335157
Hey, this is sci-fi. I'm trying to compare a giant air gun to a railgun.

Guys, forget about the Weapon for a minute, what do you feel like?

>>46335289
Whelp, that settles that!

>>46335289
That's what I'm saying. Science-Fantasy.

A railgun hurls a heavy thing at several times the speed of sound.

A particle accelerator hurls a very small amount of very small things at very high speed, almost the speed of light (CERN does anyway).

Neither is a viable weapon system at this time. Particle beams may never be, given any atmosphere pretty much makes them a CIWS.

Railguns have been concept tested. But they take too much power to fire and they melt too fast to be useful.

>>46335352
We literally have the heart of a dead angel powering this thing. Energy usage isn't an issue here

>>46335383
Sure. But why run a system with 10% energy efficiency when a more conventional system would be lighter, more reliable, and deliver 45% energy efficiency?

I started drawing a plan for going straight to Location B. The plan puts less stress on CHARIOT, relying on two MEPS. One at the base of the mountain and one at the top. The EVAs with be dropped off at the bottom and reposition at the top, EVA 1 moving forward and EVA 2 staying back the the BIG GUN.

N2 loc.A
Ignore loc.C
Send everything else to loc.B

>>46335490
Hmm, considering that that location will give us a good view of the area and a sniper position, this seems like a good idea.
But we should also consider the following:
>That would slog us through the thicker end of the storm corridor. Can our VTOLs handle it?
>If the Angel is in location B as predicted, and attacks us on sight, we won't have time for our sniper to get into position. She'll be a sitting duck out there

>>46335566
nice trip dubs

This angel has superpercise weaponry right? We should refrain from an air attack except as a last resort.

And we should attack before the Angel fires. As soon as we can move. I have a feeling that the storm is only going to get more powerful, even if attacking it after gives us a small advantage, we don't know how great it is. All we know is our base will take damage.

>>46335566
The alternative is to move through further to the east, taking us through location A. And the answer is that the VTOLs might not be able to handle it.

This path goes less directly through the storm. I don't think anything can be helped about the sniper EVA. If she gets attacked immediately the other forces will need to act to distract it.

>>46335757
Fair enough.
I agree with this plan

>>46335757
>>46335799
So we drop just after the Angel's salvo?

>>46335826

>>46335757
If ever this were to happen, I have the capacity to deploy an A.T. field which could cover both of our units. Be advised ; this would probably drain everything I have.

>>46335850
We would take a big risk. Attacking the Angel at the peak of his power, with all the constraints implied by the terrain.

>>46335854
>>46335850
>>46335826
>>46335799
>>46335757
Considering how much AT Field nonsence we are seeing here, I think we don't stand a change against it's AT field stockpiled up. We need to let it exhaust itself. The HQ can take another hit, but our Units can't deal with a monstrous AT field.

>>46335940
I am going to go with this, only if we can get confirmation that the HQ can survive.

Unless...it's not going to attack HQ this time...?

>>46335940
HQ can take one more hit before getting slagged completely, probably best to let it shoot it's wad and hit it while it's spent.

>As you all know, we are 8 hours away from a third artillery strike from the 6th Angel. The last one melted 13 of our 38 remaining Geofront Armored Layers.


>>46335990

We will be running on empty, but we will be able to take another hit without a doubt. Unless the Angel more than doubles in power.

>>46335990
and it shoots at us instead

>>46335990
Don't jinx it!

>>46335854
Did we give you a hat?

>>46336035
>>46336034
The only other alternative i can think of is attacking the angel as soon as it is firing off. Though, this is a really tiny window of time that gives us to act.

This is also assuming the angel doesn't do anything while it is firing off.

What do you guys think?

>>46335854
Understood.

>>46335940
True. If we wait, we may just have an easier fight on our hands. Not easy, but easier.
But then again, as >>46335990 stated, we may have to take into account the fact that it may just attack the FOB. If that happens, we're fucked. With that kind of power, such a blast will kill everyone there. There will be NO ONE to save us if that happens.

We should attack with the intent of coming in visual range at the same time it begins it's attack. It should be fine if it is slightly after.

It's in location C anyway

>>46336098
The angel target is below HQ at Montréal. I don't think he actively try to weaken our fighting forces.

It's pretty safe to assume the next salvo won't land in the middle of our FOB.

That fucker is anticipating this ambush. It lured us here for an attack.

Legit though guys, what's the plan? I suggested this >>46336084, so taking into account that the angel probably won't be able to deploy its full arsenal while it's firing, does this also play into the plan you guys have set up?

>>46336296
i think the plan is to let it shoot and attack right when it finishes and and just unload everything in it's face

>>46336296
Did you read the thread? There are three plans.

As far as directly attacking it, we will play it as it comes, with the main idea being that we will rely on our sniper to do most of the damage. And since this angel seems to use massive charged-shocks as attacks, we will use a lot of cover.

I think we should hit location C first then sweep up through A and B. If we hit A or B first and the Angel turns out to be at C then we'll have to advance on it without cover whereas the Angel itself will be in cover.

There will be a quiz on Societal Norms and What the Major Told Me next week assuming we survive.

>>46336420
Deus vult!

>>46336518
But if we hit C first and it isn't there, we will need to move on to the other locations after having taken damage from the storm.

I still prefer the 3 stage plan, even though I'm alone.

>>46336420
Sure, lets do it. Maybe we can take the initial MEP for drop-off with the tanks so we have a more forward position for EVA 3.

Ace this battle while I'm gone.

Use superior tactics.

>>46337071
Yeah, what's up?

>>46337071
Sure. What is it Anna? Something troubling you?

>>46337071
Of course.

>>46337071
Sure Anna. What's on your heart?

>>46337071
What's on your mind?

>>46337074
You Can(not) Roll a 1

>>46337133
So, by rule of expectation, we will rolling nothing
but low shit this whole time? Is this what you're implying with that?

>>46337168
At the very least, we will start with shit rolls, but get back up to speed in the next chapter.

I've been thinking a lot about what happened to David recently. About how dangerous all of this is. And...

...I'm not good at all this.

I just wanted to ask you if you could say something to Eileen if ever I... well. If I don't come back. Could you tell her that I'm sorry? For shooting her, I mean. I know it was my duty but I can't help but feel this was wrong.

>>46337225

Wait, what?

>>46337225
Sure, but it would mean more if it came directly from you.

I could mediate.

>>46337225
If it really weighs on you that much, come back and make up with her yourself. I'm sure I can be there for both of you when you're ready.

In a situation like that there's no telling what acting or not acting will help the situation.

>>46337225
It was in the heat of battle. Rachel was just shot down, you should not feel guilty about that.

I'm sure she would understand ... if you apologize directly to her ... after winning this battle.

If you are not comfortable with this, I could help you.

>>46337225
You are coming back so you can tell Eileen that yourself.

>>46337225
No, you have to go tell her yourself when this mission is over.

>>46337225
If it comes to that, I will Anna, but neither you or myself know that something like that will happen.

Eileen is scared, and so was I when you did that. But I think even she understands the repercussions of what could have occurred if you didn't do what you did.

I know it's a very difficult thing to cope with what you did, but trying to avoid to by thinking you'll die isn't going to solve it either.

It's alright to be scared Anna, and I think David knew that more than anyone, but it's what you choose to do when fear sets in what really matters.

Now, how exactly were you with David before it happened?

>>46337225
I will. Don't worry though, you'll be able to tell her yourself.
Whats more important in a battle than a good plan is flexibility to make the right choice. And the judgement to make that choice. If it was a good choice or a bad one I can't say, I wasn't there. I trust you to make that choice though. That's why I'm putting you out there. Goodluck.

>>46337300
I think she intends to try and say it herself. Just in case.

>>46337225
I'm sure that'll mean a lot to her. You might want to tell her yourself when you come back, but I'll keep that promise if the worse happens.

We're all here because we want to survive, the human race. I'm not sure if your decision to shoot was the right decision, but you made a choice and you stuck with it. That takes guts, that takes courage to follow through something you feel is necessary but feel uneasy about, and between us I think you made the right call that day. It's just going to take a different type of courage to apologize to Eileen yourself.

>>46337354
David and me, we didn't like each other all that much. I couldn't stand how he didn't take anything seriously you know? I figured he was lazy, but now... I think he was just scared all the time and it made him unable to do anything.

[She take out a Labatt 50 from her coat and opens it]
Did you know that it's my birthday next week? Rachel gave me this. Do you want to share?

>quickly snatch it from her hands

Not when you're gonna pilot a giant robot you don't.

But, I'll be sure to keep it in mind next week. I don't think a little drink will you then.

>>46337553
... Fuck it, it's only one. You're probably gonna just give me the whole thing after one sip anyway.

>>46337553
How about a sip now and the rest when you get back?

I don't think we know how alcohol affects sync ratio yet.

>>46337632
It's just a little, the worst thing that could happen is her beginning to relax a little bit and not being affraid.

>>46337553
Sure.
>drink most of it, leaving her with 3 our 4 sips

>>46337650
>>46337607
Are you guys retarded? I wouldn't trust a 14 with a beer any day, and much less in a blizzard when she's about to pilot a giant robot.

>>46337698
Yeah bruh, a single Labatt will get you smashed dude xD

>>46337698
It's probably her very first encounter with alcohol. It's gonna taste like horse piss to her, and she throws it out after one sip.

>>46337698
Inebriation to treat mental trauma is a highly tested technique, so just think of it as preventive maintenance.

>>46337735
If you never drank before, yes it will.

>>46337744
Luckily it isn't. CAG is a bad influence.

>>46337735
Drinking is whatever for me, since I have the alcohol tolerance of an Irishman, but for a 14 year old girl? Forgive me for having some reservation about letting her do this.

>>46337766
Don't worry anon, she won't be an influence on anyone once the shard of metal stuck in her brain finishes her off.

>>46337774
>>46337766
>>46337698
Everyone drink before at 14 here. It's not half (even less) Labatt 50 that will do anything.

It's not about the moral bullshit associated with underage drinking.

I'm more scared about the fact that she'll get smashed when she's driving the EVA. We've had enough accidents already, and I am not about to have another one here.

You're being real mature right now, Anna.

Sure, we can.

POUR LA VICTOIRE!

>>46337553

I want to make sure you're up to fight and make it back to us, okay?

Damn straight I do.

And, hey. Come back, and you can do even more boozing now that rachel is up and running again.

Don't stress it Anna. There's more where that came from when you get back.

I'm drinking this so you don't have to. Trust me, you don't want to be wasted while you're in the middle of a fight. You're still a lightweight, you got a long ways to go until you're a professional like Rachel and I. We gotta ease you into it.

>>46337926
Hey don't worry Anna, I'll get you something much better than a little thing of Labatt 50.

Just...

>give her a small hug

Get back here again. I don't want to you lose you as well.

>>46337926
No drinking and driving, little lady. Be glad I even give you this much.

Her harmonics are a bit below her usual scores, but this is not affecting her performance. The current stressful circumstances of the storm are probably the reason.

>>46338485

>>46338485
Thank you Florence, keep in formation and don't stray in the storm.

Head of Science: Hopefully it peters out if she spends a bit more time in there.

>>46338485
Florence. Remember to protect Anna. With the Solomon Cannon, she's our main source of firepower.

Keep in mind that this rifle is quite experimental. Stay alert. We don't know how the core will react.

The ''spooky equipment'' was there to ease the synchronization lag between her unit and herself. It also acted as a harmonics buffer since it was her first fight in this Eva Unit. We couldn't risk catastrophic de-synchronization.

Yes, proceed with caution.

>>46338967

Christ guys, it was a small thing Rachel did to cheer her up. I'd think half of you are American and Catholic or something.


>>46338974
Negative, let Sword pull to the front and hold there.. We are not going to engage until the Angel has fired and we don't want to draw its attention.

>>46338974
Hold position Anna. That ridge can serve a perfect vantage point. Have the other units spot for you, they should be able to provide visual feed and targeting info on the target once they reach it.

We're already working on it. MAGI will give us an analysis in 2 minutes.

Major? I feel the need to report that I'm hearing some kind of low ''hum'' sound. It is somewhat distracting.

>>46339574
It's a good idea if we're fortifying a position that doesn't already have purpose-built cover (Montreal-3). Right now, I'd worry more about the Angel spotting her and potshotting her through the blizzard.

>>46339630
It's not a rising hum, is it? Because if it is you should go to ground right now.
Failing that, is it emanating from a location?

>>46339318
Aw fuck it's Ramiel.

>What's a Ramiel?

Octahedral alien from this quest's main Canon

>What do you mean "this quest"? and what's a Canon?

Think of the world we are in as a story. A story that we are in the process of writing right now, where the multiple voices in my head try to minimise the amount of suffering and sacrifice those under my command must endure.

No story exists in a vaccuum. They are all built on elements of other stories. The story that this current world, this IRL real world, is based on is termed the "Canon".

In it, 2 japanese* teenagers* named Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami fight a giant octahedral angel named Ramiel by pumping all of the electricity of Tokyo into a laser and shooting it.
*Rei is probably as old as humanity and pre-dates nations, but that's a story for another time

Head of Science: Keep MAGI active on the field, we're gonna need all the info we can get.

Have both eva units fall back. But have Anna scrap a small tank sized hole in the ground first, a hull down position. That should be fast work. We'll engage once the angel has fired.

Major! Florence is walking towards the Angel Proxy!

>>46340089
apologies, then. Jumped the ball on that.

Mind Control.

All conventional units, FIRE.

Anna, hold fire unless the fire is ineffective.

Excuse me, citizen.
You are not authorised to have the emotion of suspicion.
Please proceed to the nearest happiness dispenser for an extra ration of chemical assistance.

>>46340136

All units, OPEN FIRE ON THE ANGEL.

>>46340165
Oh my god...

ALL UNITS OPEN FIRE ON THAT SECTION!!

Anna, if you still have your regular sniper on you, this would be a good time to use it!

>>46340165
Ane's hips are moving on their own??!!! Hontou?!

>>46340165

Lisa, can we disable its movements from HQ.

>>46340136
Then kill that fucking thing before it Florence does anything she will regret

>>46340165
The Angel's probably trying to hijack the eva.
Calm down, and try to get it to break away from the control.

>>46340205
>>46340199
Great idea, teach it what its new toy can do.

Except Anna*

We only have two round at best with the Solomon Cannon, let's try to not waste one of them on the first engagement.

>>46340248
I'm not hearing an alternative.

>>46340273
Aye. We want to keep the Positron rounds in reserve.

Rest of the conventional units should open fire on the Diggity Diamond of Wiggity Wack Mental Madness and Kinetic Kontrol.

>>46340273
Yeah, except Anna. You hear that Anna? Don't fire the positron yet.

>>46340262
Citizen,
disobeying directives from your assigned happiness officer might be treasonous. Please report to the nearest recycling station for citizen evaluation.

R&D, we need a tuning fork cannon NAO! Make it big.

This is how we come to a consensus. Are you saying we should be arguing over IRC or something?

The Major is showing signs of self-awareness.
Should we intervene? If the Major gains true sentience, then things might diverge from our control.
