THE STORY SO FAR

After being sent to Arizona to find a missing supply train, you discover a secret Federation facility, and recapture your missing train and it's crew.
You then ambush five stolen Zaku's accounting for four of them.

You have Jolyne hold back to load captured Federation MS Prototypes onto the train whilst you go and persue the lone survivor.

THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ON WHETHER OR NOT TO HAVE JOLYNE ESCORT THE TRAIN OR MEET UP WITH YOU AFTER SHE LOADED THE PROTOTYPE, I'D LIKE A DECISION EITHER WAY ON THAT.

Your current Squad Status

You are piloting:
MS-07A Gouf (Early type) (Light scratches on paintwork)
240mm Bazooka (3 shots remaining, 2 Reloads)
2 Smoke Grenades
2 Crackers

ZOLOMON RINGO
MS-06D Desert Zaku (Minor armour damage)
90mm Wrist Vulcans (268 rounds remaing, 2 Reloads)
70mm Head Vulcans (380 rounds remaining)
120mm Machine Gun (100 Rounds, 2 Reloads)
2x Heat Hawks

JOLYNE BRANDE
MS-06K Zaku Cannon (Undamaged)
180mm Artillery/AA Gun (16 Shells remaining)
120mm MAchine Gun (100 rounds, 2 reloads)
4 Cracker Grenades

Mission was to recover the train, so seems sending her to defend/run off those three on fake patrol would accomidate that. Us and Zol can handle the runner.

>>6908814
It seems dangerous, but I'm okay with this.

She needs to make sure to keep her sensors scanning. Anyone who comes within range, she needs to order to keep away or be fired upon until they reach command. Any Zeonic forces should comply. Feddie forces can be blasted with her long range artillery.

Meanwhile, we, with our badass suit, and Zol, with his mountains of bullets, will chase this last suit down.

>>6908866
Fuck em up and saev teh civies

>>6908866

Using sensors on the train will be difficult, the Minovsky particles will be restricting radar, sonar wont work on the train, and thermal optics aren't going to be much use a 2pm in Arizona.

They'll be relying on posting spotters all over the train and watching for bandits - oldskool style.
Jolyne is confidant that she can do this, and you salute each other as you begin to persue your quarry.

IT IS CURRENTLY 2PM.
YOUR TARGET HAS A 1 HOUR HEAD START
TRACKS ARE STILL VISIBLE.

YOUR ORDERS?

Also, when they get back to command, they've got to give them the coordinates for the facility. Zeon HQ will want to get their hands on the zakus + check out the facility in depth.

>>6908929
Use jet thrusters sparingly to get bursts of speed in following the tracks.

He was already burning through his pretty fast, and they'd probably be damaged if he'd kept it up. We know the capabilities of our suits, and can use the jets intelligently. It should help us cut the distance.

>>6908947

Using your thrusters (of which you both have better versions of.) You begin carefully leapfrogging across the terrain, to try and close the gap.

A couple of times you lose the trail and have to follow back to refind it. He's taking an erratic path, sticking to cover, trying to stay out of sight.

As you continue onwards in this fashion, the terrain becomes rockier. It wouldn't really be safe to keep jumping the way you are. But by following his tracks you can detirmine the following things.

1. Whilst he can still jump, some of the jet's must be damaged as he isn't getting the full distance.
2. He can only jump backwards or forward.
3. The tracks are fresher, your getting closer.

It is 4pm.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>6909108
Figure out where we are. Having studied the terrain before leaving the base, we should have some general idea of the area and be able to figure out our coordinates. Then continue chasing. We're closer now though, so make it less conspicuous. We don't want him to see us coming.

Hey guys, dungeon keeper quest is on

Keep going after him!

>>6909108
Is Zolomon keeping up with us?

>>6909151
I think we're sticking together.

>>6909156
I meant is he able to keep up with us. Since we have more advanced thrusters and whatnot.

>>6909172
Yeah. I figure we're keeping together, though. As in, not letting either fall too far behind or get too far ahead.

I say we keep Zolomon with us.

>>6908772
Noticed his armaments. Waiting for Zolomon to pull an EZ-8 with all those machineguns.

>>6909192
He's gonna Swiss cheese some motherfuckers

>>6909151

You've been leapfrogging together all afternoon.

>>6909126
>Figure out where we are. Having studied the terrain before leaving the base, we should have some general idea of the area and be able to figure out our coordinates. Then continue chasing. We're closer now though, so make it less conspicuous. We don't want him to see us coming.

You bring the maps of the local area back up on your monitor. Apparently if you keep going in the direction your heading, then you'll end up in great big canyon that extends for miles.
It's a fair bet that the pilot you're hunting would head there to hide out.
For a start, minovsky particles would collect at the bottom, further retarding radar. It might be cool enough for Thermal Imaging though.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>6909233
Hmmmm, this wouldn't happen to be Macho Grande, would it?

Press on, we've come this far.

>>6909260

Fighting?

Over Macho Grande?

No, I don't think I'll ever be over Macho Grande.

But seriously, the map isn't very descriptive, it just lists the canyon as a Grand Canyon. Which is pretty oldtimey, but whatever.

>>6909307
Real creative name, must be huge....

can we return to base and have the place bombed hevely?

Well a canyon would be a good place for a federation outpost. What with it filling with particles as stated, plus generally being difficult to see into via traditional means.

I think we should stay out of the canyon, but search into it from the rim.

See what we can pick up on Thermals.

Then, we kill the batman, er... zaku...

>>6909351

You could. But Radio isn't working further than a couple of kilometers due to background minovsky radiation.

Journeying back would take 8 hours.

>>6909362
Then I guess we'll start to descend and follow. But we should be alert, this could be where the other 3 MS are.

>>6909382

How about we head in, while Zolomon stays up high, we raido for his DYNAMIC ENTRY if we need him yes?

Splitting up more than we have sounds like a bad idea. It's just the two of us out here against an unknown amount of enemies.

>>6909433

Theres at least 3 other Zakus... which I think we could take. but you do have a point...

Should we take front as we're the least damaged and the canyon walls might limit Zols manuverability?

>>6909382

The two of you carefully descend down into the Canyon. You are constantly on the look for ambushes, traps and signs of your quarry.

Descending down takes the better part of an hour.
You switch to the thermals when you reach the base floor. You scan for clues, you can't see any suspcious heat signatures, and sonar has nothing.
At the base, radio is retarded to a crackly 500m range.

You can travel up or downriver. Your choice.

>Liuetenant Junior Grade David Lister
>It's cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere...

>>6909495
Any sign at all either way?

Did we come to it at a perpendicular angle?

If not, continue the way we were already going.

If so, check both directions for possible tracks, and possible diversions which may have been set to get us going the wrong way.

>>6909507
And when all this is done, I say we go get a farm in Fuji. But that will have to wait.

>>6909495
No footprints or marks on the canyon walls where the target's MS might have scraped by? If not, then one way is just as good as the other, might as well flip a coin. Unless someone has a better idea?

>>6908664
Wow, I really hope we're never that screwed

ZEON QUEST FUCK YEAR

Gonna post some good images.

>>6909540

What are you talking about?

Zeon has the Feddies outmanned.

Mmmm Marines....

>>6909514

>Any sign at all either way?

>No footprints or marks on the canyon walls where the target's MS might have scraped by? If not, then one way is just as good as the other, might as well flip a coin. Unless someone has a better idea?

You scan the less immiediate area for footprints of some kind. This section isn't too windy, so if there are any then they won't have deteriorated.

Twenty minutes later you eventually find a Zaku type footprint, heading downstream.

You decide to follow.

I love mobile suit dioramas.... ;_;

So beautiful.. they should have sent a poet...

>>6909569
Why do you call this a quest and act like this is a game, when there is no chance for death or losing?

THIS TIME ON ZEON WANKFEST FAT NECKBEARDS SIT AROUND AND PRETEND TO BE AMAZING

>>6909560
What are YOU talking about? Unless zeon has waves and waves of zakus just out of the picture, the feddies got their number.

There are motherfucking RANKS of GMs just chilling!

Unless that Blue suit is Ramba Ral, himself, we're boned.

>>6909702

This is why we cant have nice things.

>>6909634
How goes our search then?

>>6909634
Great. Just make sure to keep our sensors at max. If sonar or thermal is at all effective, have it active.

You follow carefully down the canyon. There are plenty of spots for ambushes, and the rocky terrain would make for dangerous traps.

After about an hour of following footprints, you pick up something on the floor which reacts with your thermal sensors.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

>>6909766
...

Reacts how? Hot? SUPER-hot? Human sized? Auto sized?

>>6909766

Finger probe around the corner.

That sounds dirty.

>>6909793

It's a small heat signature on the ground, around the temperature of a cooling campfire. You can't get a good look at it currently, you'd have to get closer.

>>6909766
On the floor, or possibly under it? Could it be a mine?

>>6909821
God dammit...do so. Keep our shield between our vital parts and it, though.

Move towards it from the side. Not a direct line.

>>6909860
Do we have a shield with us? I'm not seeing it listed in our current loadout.

>>6909892

We should have our shoulder shield, or was it removed with the upgrade?

>>6909860

You decide to go and investigate alone, with your shield facing the signature.
You eventually reach it, it appears to be the words burnt into the ground with gasoline.

They say

"LOOK UP STUPID"
Followed by an arrow.
You're already leaping away of course.

Which is lucky as just as you do so, you see a 120mm shot streak out in front of you and hit a rock formation to your left. You leap away just in time to avoid the falling rockslide, as it sends a massive cloud of dust up.

If Zolomon had been with you, it's uncertain if he would have survived. You land just behind his Desert Zaku.

"Are you okay!"

"I'm allright! Did you get a bead on the shooter?"

"It came from up ahead!"

YOUR ORDERS?

>>6909958

After them while shouting "THIS IS NO ZAKU BOYS! NO ZAKU!"? XD

Fire a bazooka shell. Likely it won't hit anything, but the explosion should illuminate the area some + shake shit up.

>>6909958

CHARGE. With caution and having Zolomon cover our rear. We'll have to be careful in the canyon with our shots otherwise that rock slide will only be one of many.

>>6909958
Short radio message in case they're near by: "You have to be good to be cocky!"

The hunt is on! Let's give it to him.

Try to spot our attacker while moving for cover.

>>6909993
This. And let's see if we can get Zol to use his dakka to keep the enemy pinned/suppressed.

LETS USE OUR DRILL TO PEIRCE THE HEAVENS!

Move and shoot being the key here.

>>6910051
You're stupid that is the wrong anime in this one you're supposed to yell "ITS A GUNDAM!!! !!!!!!!!! !!!!!" and then get chopped in half and explode

>>6910051
>>6910122

Stop talking to yourself.

>>6909993
>Fire a bazooka shell. Likely it won't hit anything, but the explosion should illuminate the area some + shake shit up.

>>6909999
>CHARGE. With caution and having Zolomon cover our rear. We'll have to be careful in the canyon with our shots otherwise that rock slide will only be one of many.

>>6910008
>The hunt is on! Let's give it to him.

You fire off a single Bazooka shot directly ahead as cover. The force of it's wake clears the dust momentarily, and you're afforded a brief view of the Zaku moving forward to investigate. The rocket zips past his head unfortunately, but then hit's a rock pillar behind causing it to collapse showing the area with yet more rocks. You see him attempt to jump away, his leg rockets pulsing at less than optimal amounts.

You charge forwards your saber out, with Zolomon behind you with his twin Hawks. You don't to risk starting another rockfall.

You nimbly managed to jump over what looks to be a severed Zaku arm, still sparking from it's power cabling. Your Sonar is still kind of disrupted from the rockfalls, but your thermals show a muffled image of a hot object overstraining his thrusters as he attempts to leapfrog away.

It looks like he's trying to climb over the canyon wall and escape into northern Arizona.

YOUR ORDERS?

have some sage for /m/-shit

>>6910166

The chase is on.

RELEASE THE HOUNDS!

>>6910167
You FAIL brave fellow sager. You fail.

>>6910166
We can overtake him. Our thrusters are better and his are damaged. Jump up and finish him with the saber. Or ask Zol to get him with thrown Heat Hawks. He's good with those.

Zolomon needs to fire his guns. All of them. Head, wrist, MG. Forget about his heat hawks for now. Use the range that we've got.

>>6910166
Overtake his ass & cripple him.
>>6910167
Way to fail fag.

I'm actually going to agree with the sage for once. I mean there are plenty of giant robot things at are /tg/ related, and as far as I know you picked one that wasn't.

I bet you're all the type of people who play table top games and always roll their favorite anime characters.

>>6910166
Lets try and ba him, alive. Direct fire above him, try to ruin his climb. Take him out, though, if that isn't feasible.

Time to end this chase. Take the pilot alive if possible.

>>6910215
Get over it. You're not stopping this so get the dick out of your ass & hide the thread.

>>6910248
It is that attitude that will make people stay and sage bomb the fuck our of this. At least two other people have. I'm going to let you all have your circle jerk, but I won't feel bad if the other two decide to start.

"We'll shit up the board with day after day of bullshit quest threads and there is nothing you can do about it durr hurr."

Tomorrow I start DBZ quest.

>>6910285 Awesome. Which character will we be?

Lets get this back on track...

Yes, we go after him, Zol covers us.

Lets get this douchebag.

>>6910316
Mr. Popo

>>6910316
You will be some low ranking nobody faggot who wants to compete in next years super martial arts tournament.

You'll get to pick your choices of fighting styles and super moves, but don't worry none of the interesting main characters will show up, and you'll never be in any kind of actual danger, so your choices might as well not be made at all.

Maybe I should just write you all a really long story about how awesome you are instead?

>>6910285
>It is that attitude that will make people stay and sage bomb the fuck our of this.
No. It's the fact that a lot of people are faggots that can't stand it if someone is enjoying something that they don't.

>We'll shit up the board with day after day of bullshit quest threads
This only take place on Fridays & Saturdays. This isn't one of those daily shits that run out of novelty fast because someone can't pace themselves. That's the reason Apologized is limiting the days he does it.

>Tomorrow I start DBZ quest.
Good luck.

>>6910199
>We can overtake him. Our thrusters are better and his are damaged. Jump up and finish him with the saber. Or ask Zol to get him with thrown Heat Hawks. He's good with those.

>Zolomon needs to fire his guns. All of them. Head, wrist, MG. Forget about his heat hawks for now. Use the range that we've got.

>Lets try and ba him, alive. Direct fire above him, try to ruin his climb. Take him out, though, if that isn't feasible.

You have Zolomon use his rifle, ( the head vulcans are out of range) to try and distract the target.

You then leap above through the dust. You land semi-awkwardly, but retain your balance your sight of the target is obscured by the dust and the heat from Zolomon's fire and you jump a second time.
The struggling suit see's your advance and tries to fire at you whilst he jumps backwards to escape. The fire is suprisingly accurate, and you have to block it with your shield.
The impacts knock you off target and you land badly. The ground gives way and you stumble about twenty meters before your able to use your jets to stable yourself, they protest but take the strain.
Meanwhile you spot the one armed Zaku fly back and over the lip of the canyon, it's boosters flare ever brighter before you're able to visibly see it's boosters melt away and give out. The Zaku falls to the ground out of sight.

Zolomon begins to follow you up.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>6910350
Bitches better respect Popo.

The only option is to follow after it, I guess. :/

>>6910396

Have Zol follow us and back us up while we check on the Zaku.

Have him keep an eye out while we check on the fallen Feddy.

>>6910396
He can't outrun us anymore! If we can follow him now that his thrusters are our of commission, we can finish him.

>>6910379
And you might notice thanks to this shit quest. And others that have no actual tactics or danger ( And therefore no point in having people "play") sticking around for so long. We've once more built up to there being a few shitty quests running constantly.

Its not that this one is just BAD, it is also not /tg/ in the slightest.

And its pretty apparent by how only 5 people at most seem to post in it or "play"

>>6910444
And 10 other lurk it. Also

>BAD FUN IS BAD.

>>6910444
YOU'RE TRYING TO REASON WITH WEABOO QUEST FAGGOTS WHO WON'T KEEP THEIR CIRCLE JERKS ON /TG/CHAN! YOU FAIL. SIMPLY SAGE.

>>6910444
I'm sorry you don't like it, but I do. Feel free to Sage if you're really thank against it, at least you're actively discussing it rather than just posting to sage.

>>6910396
Shows that bastard, let's get there before he recovers if we can.

>>6910396

If he's really giving us trouble use the training we picked up on our own.

Limiter Release!

>>6910396

Tap with the heat saber.

Say sup, get him out of his suit.

Take him in your mecha hand, blow up the other suit, get back to base.

>>6910460
YES. 100 PEOPLE LURK THIS GLORIOUS QUEST.

HAHA NO.

RETURN TO BEING A QUIET GENDERLESS FAGGOT ATTENTION WHORE TRIPFAG!

>>6910508
Oh yeah, I forgot we learned how to do that!

Get after him. Try to capture the pilot.

You Jump over the lip of the canyon.

On the other side you are greeted by the image of another Gouf A with the same colour scheme. You quickly realise you are looking in your reflection.
From the looks of it, several hundred shards of giant mirror dot the landscape. It looks like a large piece of the Colonies Solar Panel's shattered over this area and have decorated the area in giant reflective surfaces.

You move to investigate, and you find the area where your quarry landed. You see a disconnected leg mounted rocket launcher. It was probably jarred loose when it landed.

Zolomon rejoins you up.

Somewhere in this house of mirrors is your quarry.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>6910571
loot the rocket launcher

>>6910523
You see I'm just not feeling it. Try it again only bigger.

>>6910571

OH CRAP.

Its like that one scene in Enter the Dragon.

>>6910571
Sonofabitch, it never rains does it?

Well, can we jump and get a birds eye view of the place?

>>6910586
USING THE SAME EXCUSE AS PORN DUMPS AND FUR FAGS GOOD IDEA ANON. CLASSIC ARGUMENT

Jet jump to recon and then land quickly to avoid becoming a target.

One person jumps. If someone fires on them, the other tosses a cracker in the direction the shot came from.

>>6910580
>loot the rocket launcher

Leg mounted rocket launcher is empty. He used them all on you back at the base.

>>6910605
>Well, can we jump and get a birds eye view of the place?

Some of the pieces are quite high, and sharp. You might not be able to jump high enough to see over all of the piece.

>One person jumps. If someone fires on them, the other tosses a cracker in the direction the shot came from.

This area is very large, easily 5km across.

You can still do this if you want, though. He can't have gotten far.

>>6910609
>PORN DUMPS
/tg/ is supposed to be worksafe. Anyone who posts NSFW material should receive at least a 2-day ban.
>AND FUR FAGS
I have nothing for those sick fucks. They're not worth the energy it takes to type a reply.

>>6910656

Switch to thermal vision if possible. Light will scatter on the mirros distorting our senses but Thermal should keep us from getting disoriented and give an advantage.

>>One person jumps. If someone fires on them, the other tosses a cracker in the direction the shot came from.
this

>>6910679
>>6910656
>>6910379
HMMMMMMMMMM THESE POSTS ALL LOOK REAL SAMEY.

>>6910656
Let's do it. He can't have gotten far, like you said. Also, since we're our of the canyon, is our sensor range improved? Can we use that to track him?

>>6910699
Because 2 of those are me.
>>6910679
&
>>6910379
Not that you'll believe me. Then again I don't really care. There's nothing I can really do about your whiny cruise control.

>>6910702

Switching on radar reveals the target clear as day nearby, behind two more pieces of mirror.
As well as his two other wingmen waiting to ambush you, each behind a seperate mirror piece, using the wounded Zaku as bait.

You will have a few moments before they reacto to their radar detectors going off.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>6910785
Crackers. MG. Bazookas.

UNLOAD ON THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS!

throw crackers, rain solar panel shards on his head?

>>6910785
Crackers & rockets with Zolomon to pick off someone when they move to avoid.

>>6910785
Shit. Us and Zol, one for each ambusher. The bait is wounded and hopefully won't expect us to go for his buddies. Once they're down, go after the bait.

Take away his friends, then fuck him up

>>6910813
>>6910811

You both dash forwards and hurl a cracker grenade at the ambush site. Before they even have a chance to go off, you fire another shot with your bazooka. You see a giant, almost monolithic shard of mirror ripple obscenely before shattering into hundreds of SUV sized shards.
You dash into the confusion and both of you pick your targets. The shards have done no damage to the armour, but there are more than a couple of severed power cables snapping in the 6 o' clock dusk.

You spot the wounded Zaku kneeling, it's cockpit open. It looks abandoned.

You slice at the nearest enemy with your Saber. He tries to parry with his axe, but with his power cable snapped his arm doesn't have the force to deflect you. Instead he manages to move into a clinch, your sword arm is jammed upwards against the two of you and he attempts to throw your suit around.
You twist around in a strange 18 meter hoe-down.
Your Cockpit is getting dangerously hot from having the Heat Saber so close and you consider deactivating it.

You twist around a second time, the spilit second which the wounded Zaku explodes in a massive fireball.
A moment sooner and you would have taken the full blast, instead the Zaku you're fighting takes the brunt, and your able to push away from it. Just as it explodes.

Unlike before, THIS explosion you take full force. The arm you were pushing him away is englufed in the blast, and you are knocked flat on your back as your computer sputters and screeches at you with the damage you've taken.

Sparks fly and your computer dies.

YOUR COMPUTER IS DEAD.

YOU CAN HEAR DISTANT THUDS OF ZOLOMON FIGHTING

YOUR ORDERS?

Pray that we're a newtype.

>>6910988
We can do an emergency restart, right? I remember we did some training a while ago and learned to do that. Or is it dead dead?

>>6910988

Shit.

Um... ctrl Alt. Delete, restore the system to its last stable version?

Yeah... restart.

>>6911027

Need I remind you of your learnt abilities?

>SKILLS LEARNT
>Improved custom moves
>Ability: Hard Reboot
>Ability: Limiter Unlock
>Basic Technical Ability

Attempt to get the systems back online, priorizing visual and basic motor functions. If it's beyond repair we bail out of the suit

>>6911050
There we go. Quick hard reboot, get our ass back out there and help Zolomon.

Use skill:Reboot

Yes, let's try to restart our computer.

>>6911050
>>Ability: Hard Reboot
This, obviously.

>>6911043

You remeber the correct sequence, hit the right buttons, jiggle the connecters, reball the computer chip and blow into the slot. Youre able to have the computer reset itself and restart.
There's a comforting THWOMP of the Fusion reactor re-igniting itself, and your Screens resolve themselves into a view of the outside world.

It's a somewhat distressing image that greets you of Zolomon holding a severered Zaku's head which is dripping oil onto your Mobile Suit.

"Boss! You okay!"

"I'm fine, that last blast was pretty bad."

MOBILE SUIT STATUS
LEFT ARM: DESTROYED
HEAT SABER: DESTROYED
30% GENERAL ARMOUR DAMAGE
240MM BAZOOKA (1 ROCKET REMAINING, 2 RELOADS.)

THE TIME IS 6:20 pm.

YOUR ORDERS?

Any enemies still kicking around?

If not, inspect their suits. Search their bodies for any documents or anything of note.

>>6911165

Ask zolomon what happened to the other suits, following that we need to get back to base asap

Back on our feet and search our fallen foes.

>>6911165
Did we get all of them? If we did, then it's time to head back to base and report. I suppose the only one that could have escaped was the pilot of the bait. Hopefully he is somewhere nearby.

>>6911165
loot weapons and attempt to salvage a new arm from the fallen enemy suits

Lets see if we can recover any of the enemy black boxes.


Those could come in handy.

>>6911213

Unfortunately, it appears that all of the mobile suits themselves either exploded or self-destructed. You're one armed Mobile Suit makes a cursory investigation of the area. You spot what looks like a tyre tracks leaving the area.
Pretty recently from the looks of things, you can actually see where he's swerved to avoid falling glass.

You could investigate, but it's 6:20pm, and night is coming, and you are roughly five hours journey away from the Hidden Fed Base, and another 4 from the 128th Depot.

YOUR ORDERS?

Follow the tracks.

If this is the one armed newtype, we are not letting it go.

>>6911165
>LEFT ARM: DESTROYED
I LIKED THAT ARM!

Stand up & scan for targets. Introduce anyone not friendly to Mr. 'Zooka.

>>6911283

After them with a vengeance.

Go back, you don't like it but you can hardly keep up the chase like this, besides there could be more ambushes.

>>6911283
RTB.

We're down an arm & generally fucked up. We're in no condition to go charging through the desert anymore.

>>6911283
see if tire tracks match known patterns for enemy guntank and/or tank designs

>>6911322
Regretful agreement.

>>6911341

>see if tire tracks match known patterns for enemy guntank and/or tank designs

Nope. Looks like ordinary jeep tracks.

>>6911348

General consensus is to return to the Secret Feddie base I take it? Possibly taking a few minutes to shake out fist in the sky and howl:

"NEXT TIME WYATT BANDIT! NEXT TIME!"

>>6911411
Return to our base.

>>6911411
make sure to bring our arm back with us though. We could still use it. Or keep it as a memento.

Let us return to the previously hidden Federation base, after bellowing about how things will be different next time.

>>6911426
or just so the enemy doesn't know we've taken any major damage

>>6911411
Yes, it seems to be.

*sigh* Return to base then.... curse the persistance of Feddies everywhere.

The arms actually pretty much totally shredded. You are able to save the actual blade part of your heat saber though.

BEFORE I FORGET: ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED

You two begin the long trudge back to base in the failing light. You notice your thrusters being a little sluggish, as you leap across the Grand Canyon, though it's nothing too serious.

Your trudging pace means that it takes you a little longer to reach the base when you do so, you notice that it's been lit up, and showing new signs of life...

Better be Zeon forces, god damnit!

>>6911481
Crap. Get Zol to scout it out.

SHI-

Determine who's at the base before making our presence known.

>>6911481
Make sure we got a full load in our bazooka and cover Zol as he goes forward.

>>6911492
>>6911531
Combination of these two.

Luckily as you get closer, you spot the Zeon Flag flying from the towers.

Still wary you cautiously advance towards the base until you spot the train has returned, and jolyne's Zaku Cannon.

You stagger back to the base to be greeted by Jolyne out of her suit and drinking a cup of coffee (probably, you're somehwat wary about zooming in too far into Jolyne's chest area. It could end in misunderstandings later.)

You deposit your mobile suits in the captured hangars and dismount.

Jolyne tells you what's been happening since you left.

"We dropped off what was left of the Zaku's and the Gun... tank... thing... whatever, at the 128th. They then got a squawk up to HQ, and we got sent back up here. Were to load up with anything we can find, and then return to the 128th *sigh*, pick BACK UP the prototype and transport it back up to California. The train will be our ride home. In the meantime were off duty, and I for one could do with some sleep."

Awesome, time to reverse-engineer some reverse-engineering!

>>6911567
For the start of the next thread, make sure they gather the combat data + coordinates of what went down so they can clean up.

Possibly tommorow. I'm playing Apoc from 10am onwards instead of VtM tommorow, it really depends on how soon it finished.
It also depends on whether or not we agree to houserule away flank march - so (unlike last time) we don't get an entire apocalypse game consisting of the posted pic.

Especially when some of these units appearing in the opponents rear included COBRA SUPERHEAVIES AND A TITAN.

Something tells me we'll be seeing our Federation "friend" again during our ride back to Cali.

No offense OP, but it does seem like some bullshit when you keep having him escape rather than using good strategies suggested.

Haha.

We need to make sure an airborne force is sent out to scout the areas north of the Grand Canyon. Is it possible to get spyplanes or a cruiser in orbit to get some up to date images of most of Utah?

Also, with the Feddies cracking our cockpit systems, is there any danger of our Mobile Suits being remotely hijacked with a lasercom databurst?

>>6911669
I like imagining this.

Glorious Hero of the Imperium of Man: Haha, fowl xenos! Behold! For with our clever human thinking and resourcefulness, where we were once in front of you, we are now in your rear! Prepare to taste the Emperor's sweet minty wrath!

Fowl Xeno of Xenos Incorporated: Ah ha! Fool! We had expected your human thinking and resourcefulness, and had counted with our own, more advanced xeno thinking and resourcefulness! For now while you were once in front of us, and now behind us, we are now behind you, expecting such a trick! Feel the wrath of our advanced xeno technology!

>>6911677
I doubt it. It'll be days until he's got a combat unit put back together again let alone more than 1 Mobile Suit. We'll be back in California having repairs done by then.

Fun. What do you play in 40k if you don't mind me asking? I did an entirely tank based apoc game today. Was pretty epic. Had like 15 people and a total of atleast 400 tanks/monstrous creatures/titans
