Major- We need to adjust our battle plan, and we need to do it fast.

Unit 08 has collided with the 9th Angel’s main structure. I have the Technical Division running remote scans to determine the extent of damage caused by this impact.

Fortunately for us, the First Child managed to stay on top of the Angel. This should give us an unexpected chance to strike the Angel at close range.

Major.

The Angel's blast completely destroyed my orbital and re-entry equipment, I now have no means to safely reach the ground. It seems my Positron rifle was also damaged by the impact. At the speed we’re falling we’ll soon enter the cloud layer.

The Angel has been inactive since the collision. What are your orders, Major?

>Just as I'm about to go to bed
I better not wake up to a third impact you guys.

And welcome back Ceg, been a while!

can you detonate the rifle inside said weak points?

>That is, use it as a hear shield and air brake to descend safely. You can control your speed by changing the Angel's angle of attack. Magi will provide the necessary calculations. Try to steer it into some water.

Just when I have to go sleep. Don't fuck this up anons

By the way, I think we should hold a small private wake for Florence I, with the people in the know. Her biggest fear was to be forgotten. We owe her at least that.

Yay! NBS is back after like a two month hiatus.

I'm going to have to go back through the archives to remember exactly what's happening.

>>1027048
do you have a visual on the angel core? If not, try to guide that thing away from HQ, possibly into some body of water.

>>1027048
Determine how damaged your rifle is, and we can work from there.

This was the last known image of the situation.

The 9th Angel has taken 1 bar of damage since then.

But EVA 08 has repaired 7 health.
On its own.
And generated 3 AT field, even though it was said its AT field is down.

Excuse me, but I'm pretty sure that isn't meant to happen.
Isn't this what happened when we were fighting the 4th Angel?

Please Major, don't tell me you will go through with this hopeless plan. The First Child has already demonstrated her mediocre combat ability, there's no need to reenact a third failure.

I admire your enthusiasm Florence, but I don't think we can take a risk that big right now. Both you and Chariot are badly damaged and our ground forces just took a serious hit too. Maybe you should meet up with sword and aid them in attacking the angel from the ground. Do you think you could hit it with a standard rifle? I think we could dispense one somewhere near HQ.

Between the turrets, our mechanized units and both EVAs we should have enough firepower should the Angel land.

If we believe the Angel is on a collision EVA 08 should return for refit. Florence, I believe you can land on the Angel and destroy the core but I don't think your EVA would survive.

If the Angel is holding in the air then we may have to risk another combat drop.

Positive thoughts. Think positive.

>>1028446
Florence, listen. Dropping you is too risky. Even if you were to destroy the cores with prog knife, you'd still need to complete a landing afterwards.

What we need here is for you to hit the cores a standard rifle. I know for a fact that you're capable of making that shot, Florence. Prepare to resupply and engage from the ground.

>>1028446
Let's get you on solid ground Florence.
That positron rifle you have still has a shot or two left in it, right? I want you to try to land whatever shots you can with it and have a combat rifle on backup for whenever that's spent.

Chariot, drop her near the weapon depot in HQ. After that do you think you can resupply at the airstrip and prepare for a bombing run?

CGT, how soon will the ground forces be ready for a counterattack?
I want to hit the angel with everything we have in one huge burst.
Let's get the SWS armed and ready to fire on the angel.

//HERE. IS. THE. SITREP.

I. Chariot is bringing back Unit 08 to the Eva Launch System in Residential District 03. Unit 08 is heavily damaged but still operational.

II. Our tank units are regrouping in Residential District 03. We still have no contact with Coin.

II. First Response teams are being deployed to recover Unit 01 and the Solomon Cannon. Dr. Hughes is currently preparing the Second Child, Anna Simenco, to take the Sixth Child's place inside Unit 01 if the Eva is still battleworthy.

III. Every YAGRs are grounded due to unknown malfunction in the flying software. The acting CAG hasn't given an ETA on this situation.

IV. The 9th Angel will shortly land in Montréal-3. Trajectory indicates that it will land at the southern edge of Residential District 06.

V. Heart wing has safely landed at the airbase. Refuel and rearming is underway.

The malfunction in the flying software is certainly sabotage. Can we use a "safe" and "private" way to contact CAG to ask her if she can make a complete backup of the current software state before the peoples behind this can cover their track?

Anyway. Every civilian in Res06 must be evacuated and all operationnal units must prepare for an attack on the Angel LZ.
Everyone must be carefull and stay away from this LZ until the Angel have landed.
Can't we try to deviate the Angel from its trajectory with our static defenses (are they even operationnal?)

Second, are the Cannon and EVA still usable?

If I'm not wrong, the solomon cannon was made of an Angel core? What is the core status?

Can king's flight leader or Elizabeth can make the backup thingie about the YAGR's softwares?

You're right, Major. The Solomon cannon was powered by an Angel core.

>>1030181
Florence mentioned that the core was exposed, is this still the case? And if so where is it facing?

Perhaps we can distract it with our turrets and ground forces while Heart makes a bombing run on the core if it's facing up.

Well that gives us options.

Either we blow Res.06 to shit, but win
or we try to converge on it and destroy it without flattening Res.06
We have to pick one and commit.

What've we got in Res.06 currently? I need to weigh the costs and expected losses.

>>1030577
We must also consider that if the Core(s) are hovering over the Angel it may help mitigate the usual destruction an Angel's death could cause.

I say we wait until Heart makes its attack run. If it should fail we use the N2.

>>1030562
N2 charges are to be used as a last resort.

Have the ground forces re-position, preferably orienting in the opposite direction of the civilian evac and prepare for GtG bombardment. Do as much as you can with unit 8 in the mean time and have everything else preped if we have to launch.

If at all possible try and delay landing the final strike until at least 90% of civilians are out of the AOE of the Angels death detonation. Clear out the immediate area for Heart's attack run at least. And get me a status report on the damn YAGRs and CAG!

Now would be a great time for a combined arms doctrine spit roast with that angel in the center.

I'm not advocating we publicly berate him for his fuck ups, but in between the Major's multiple personalities I'm gonna keep giving him shit until he shows me up.
