>Garma Zabi

He will not survive.

>>7392044

BAD MOUSE

BAD

NO CHEESE FOR YOU!

Okay, first off, what's the mobile armor in question?

Secondly, what's my force composition? Am I fielding any conventional units or am I strictly an MS company?

>>7392065
Lrt's get to meeting the prince then! Does he want to see all of our crew or just ourselves?

Let's get to know the crew, motherfucker.

>>7392100
Read previous threads for basics, OP posts that information at the start usually.

>>7392125

Fuck...more archives to sift through...

Fuck it, I'm going to play World in Conflict, maybe find a 40K mod for it...

Have fun, brillian/tg/round pounders.

>>7392146
I'm just saying, looking at the first five posts of any thread would tell you everything you need to know.

The five of you quickly return to your barracks and get showers a changed into your full dress uniforms.

"Uh sir? Should I put my mustache back on?" Ruubens asks.

"Whilst that would be hilarious, no, I don't think that be a good idea."

Presently, a black car is sent around to pick you up and you all shuffle inside.

"no remember, no racist jokes, no hitting on members of staff and no fighting. Now, for the rest of you apart from Zol..."

"One time! I started ONE barroom brawl!"

"It WAS a very big brawl though. Look, Jolyne, no punching superior officers. Ruubens: pick a gender and stick to it, don't switch in the middle. Hovis, you just stay classy like you are."

"Will sir be obeying any of his own rules?"

"We come on, rank has to have SOME priveledges."

>>7392181
>We come on
>no remember, no

One of those days, boss?

>>7392205

Shut up. I'm tired. Besides, I've done worse typo's and you know it.
It's still not as bad as yesterday where I forgot how many people were in the squad.

Your driver pulls up to the Governors Mansion, which has been converted in Zeonic General HQ. You all disembark outside and are greeted by an aide.

"Please follow me ladies and gentlemen, Lord Garma is awaiting you inside."

I...wish to touch Garma's fabulous hair.

>>7392279
Play the part of the dashing ace, nod politely to him and do your best to not gawk at anything extravagant.

Has ruby chosen to be male or female?

>>7392296

C-can we just um... smell it?

I bet it smells like fruit and space and all thats good in the universe.

>>7392279

So we follow with upright bearing and all solemnity.

... did we have breakfast? D:

Be a dashing ace and catch a whiff of that fabulous fucking hair of his.

We...we don't know what will happen after today.

>>7392301

Your honestly not sure. It could be either.

You are led inside to a somewhat opulant room where sitting at a desk is Garma Zabi.

"Well met Lieutenant Lister! It's good to finally meet you!"

You are pretty sure you've just been promoted up a grade.

"I've been watching your progress after the battle of Salina Cruz and I have to say that I've been more than impressed with your record. Your comrades in former Mastodon Battalion and 321 Company all speak highly of your skills and your actions in Arizona have only cemented this..."

He flicks his hair out of his face.

Damn... this guy is quite the fop.

>>7392400
>He flicks his hair out of his face.

Must...not...swoon.....

>>7392400

Th-thankyou sir... and um... your hair looks fabulous today.

Seriously though, is there some protocol about getting our longterm peacekeeping paper to him, or does that go up the chain of command?

>>7392421
Do we dare counter with our own hair flick?

>>7392433
Silence! He's still talking, we have to old ours in reserve for now. The moment is not right.

JESUS CHRIST, I WANT TO TOUCH HIS HAIR. HE TEMPTS US.

>>7392400

He stands up.

"In accordance with this I am pleased to award you all for your bravery and excellence in the face of stern opposition."

YOU ARE AWARDED THE FOLLOWING

You: ZEONIC KNIGHTS CROSS UPGRADED TO ZEONIC KNIGHTS CROSS WITH OAK LEAVES AND SWORDS AND STAR OF THE RED EAGLE MEDAL.

Zolomon: Knights Cross upgraded to Knights Cross with Oak Leaves, a second Military Merit

Jolyne: Military Merit

Ruubens: Military Merit

Hovis: Military Merit

EVERYONE GET'S ONE RANK INCREASE

>>7392475
Sieg Zeon!

>>7392475
Wunderbar! We'll make Admiral in no time.

>>7392475
>ZEONIC KNIGHTS CROSS WITH OAK LEAVES AND SWORDS AND STAR OF THE RED EAGLE MEDAL.

Is there a shorter name for it?

He flicks his hair again, you strangle the urge to run your hands through it. He must spend HOURS in the shower.

"There is however one other thing I would like to discuss with you. In order to inspect the the troops on the front line, my generals insist that I take a team of bodyguards with me. I would very much like you ladies and gentlemen to be that Honour Guard. Of course you can decline this offer, I wouldn't want to keep you off the front line more than you would like after all..."

THE PRINCE OF ZEON WANTS YOU. WHAT DO YOU SAY?

>>7392535
The Military Pussy Magnet.

>>7392538
Do it.

And, is it just me or is he giving off the "pretentious brat" vibe?

>>7392535
The star of the red eagle is a different medal if I'm not mistaken.

>>7392538
It would be an honor to be ...an honor guard. ACCEPT

>>7392535
>>7392565
>The star of the red eagle is a different medal if I'm not mistaken.

This. You already HAD the Zeonic Knights Cross, it just got upgraded. The Star of the Red Eagle is military award recognising valour and skill in command.

ACCEPT. MAYBE WE'LL FIND A SINGLE GLORIOUS STRAND TO KEEP.

>>7392565
>>7392584
Okay, I get it now. So why is everyone so obsessed with Garma's hair?

Chief Ringo has a neat ring to it.

>>7392594
What, are you GAY or something?

>>7392594

THIS STRAND OF MINE GLOWS WITH AN AWESOME POWER!

ITS SHINING GLORY TELLS ME I MUST DEFEAT YOU!

>>7392616
Hnnnngh... *fapfapfapfap*

Also, sometimes it pays to be a /m/an who happens to be a fa/tg/uy.

>>7392594

I don't know either.

You gladly accept Captain Garma's offer. He seems pleased and shakes your hand.

"Excellent! Your will be transferred immiediately out of the 321 Company and into an independant corps technically under my command. Although in a real firefight I'll be sure to defer to your experience! Your Barracks will be transferred her to the mansion, and you'll be using the underground hangars beneath to house your Mobile Weapons."

YOU ARE NO LONGER PART OF 321 COMPANY
YOU ARE NOW: LORD GARMA'S HONOUR GUARD.

"Unfortunately, some of your duties will involve acting as my bodyguards and representatives in various political functions, I hope those dress uniforms are well fitted!"

(Note: In Ruubens case, they are not.)

And yes, we accept. It will be awesome.

And do we get a snazzy new paintjob for our awesome honor guard duties?

>>7392653

This is a good point: Does Garma want a particular color-scheme for his troops?

>>7392650
>In Ruubens case, they are not

That will need to be fixed. We should help.

Finding a tailor, I mean.

Also, might we make a request for certain support personnel?

Salute and ask to be dismissed and ah...

Tailor and ask for breakfast from a nearby servant? :D

>>7392653
I'm pretty sure it's a lot like pic related.

After accepting his offer, Garma offers you late supper, it seems rude to turn him down. You spend about an hour drinking highly expensive red wine, hoping it wont go to your or anybody elses head, and eating some very nice cold meat and other odds and ends.

You have a polite if a little awkward conversation with Garma. He seems nice enough, but you're pretty sure if you put your foot wrong here he can have you all killed.
You find the time to bring up your treatise on Post Invasion peacekeeping and policing within occupied zones. He seems interested by the idea, and your idea for an essay on combined arms theories involving Tanks, MA's and Mobile Suits.

Around 11 you are transferred back into your old Barracks for one last night's sleep there.
Not that you really ever did all that much, you spent most of your time with the 321 company out in Arizona.

>>7392734

Is it possible to transfer our old engineering buddy Okawa was it? From 321 to help us out with our tech jobs? :D

>>7392734
So he's pro-not have tons of rapeing and pillaging. Excellent.

>>7392734
Consult Chief Zol on his feelings on the matter, maybe get everyone together for a toast.

Tomorrow we should investigate the Lord's support facilities if we're not otherwise engaged.

>>7392768

Yup. You make the transfer request, and Okawara is added to your unit as Chief Engineer.

Which brings me up to your CURRENT SQUAD STATUS:

The Zabi Honour Guard is a two Squad Formation, one for front line combat and the other for close fire support.

Your Hangar currently contains
MS-07A Gouf (Early Type)
MS-06D Desert Zaku
MS-06K Zaku Cannon
MS-06J Zaku II (Ground Type)
MT-05 Hildolfr

To this one last pilot and mobile suit will be added later today.

THE FOLLOWING UPGRADES ARE NOW AVAILABLE.
THE GOUF B DESIGN IS NOW READY FOR COMBAT TESTING
THE F2 ZAKU PACKAGE IS NOW AVAILABLE.

Also, some MS designers from Zimmad want to talk to you about testing out another prototype...

CHOOSE YOUR UPGRADES, AND LOADOUT.

GOUF B

FUCK YEA

>>7392821

What upgrades are in the Gouf B and Zaku F2?

>>7392821

also, witch prototype?

Get the Zaku F2, Cheaper, reliable, the work horse of the one year war. A suitably armed and ready F2 can take down the gouf

>>7392821
>testing another prototype

gyan or efreet custom motherfuckerrrr

Also we should get those kickass waist machine cannons the zaku cannon can get.

>MT-05 Hildolfr
It's over the federation is finished.

>>7392821
>Also, some MS designers from Zimmad want to talk to you about testing out another prototype...

notthisshitagain.jpg

Ah well, as long as there's somewhere far away from the mansion to try it, why not.

Also, get Zol to try out this F2 type.

Less Gundams, more Super Robots!

>>7392821
TAKE THEM TAKE THEM TAKE THEM

The Gouf B is the model made famous by Ramba Ral as NO ZAKU. It has a built in heat rod in the left arm, and a 5-barrel 75mm machinegun as the fingers in the right. Basically it's a close-combat monster.

The F2 Zaku is basically the best Zaku available right now, taking everything about the old F type and improving it.

>>7392912

YES!

Also, is it possible to have a viking funeral for our old Zaku? El Muerto Grande?

Also, as if it shouldn't be obvious, us, Zol, and Ruubens in Squad A, and Jolyne and Hovis in the rearguard.

>>7392912
Hmmm, Machine Gun fingers do sound nice... Can we get the full specs on the new Gouf, the F2 and the prototype?

>>7392934
As I recall the suit still works fine, why would you burn it?

>>7392950
Zaku F2
http://www.mahq.net/MECHA/gundam/0083/ms-06f2.htm

Gouf and its associated types.
http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/msgundam/ms-07b.htm

>>7392934

Why? We can just leave it in the Garage and use it whenever our Gouf is out of commission, or lend it to another pilot.

>>7392952

Eh, fine...

>>7392952
>>7392967
As of now, Ruubens is piloting it, having been spraypainted back to Zeonic green.

I say we upgrade.

Also, we need to keep our training regime up. We need to write up anti MS and anti infantry cross training.

Maybe we can see if we can get some kind of liaison with Lord Garma's ground troopers?

"The Mobile Suit in Attack"

A primer for general and soldier on the nuances and intricacies of modern warfare.

By Lt. David Lister, K.Z.

>>7393015

YESSSSSS

This will be the picture on the inside cover of the book.

>>7393015

correction, by lt sir david lister ZC REM

>>7393033

A MKII VINDALOO APPEARS

>>7393064
I bet a beer milkshake would be able to beat it.

>>7393061
I used ZK as a note of our Knighthood. I'm not certain we have an order.

>>7393093

I like it.

>>7393093

so sir david lister KZ (or Kb) ZC REM.

im a brit, we have to know these things XD. our medals will also be letters after our name.

Depending on who/what our new pilot is, they'll probably be in the support team for general defense of the big guns.

>>7393179

Well, in truth, it should be a horrible bastardization of german tradition, which didn't list either.

We need to keep the training up, we may not be in the front line, but we need to keep the skills of us and our group up.

Training montage time!

Assuming OP is taking his dinner

Okay, back from Dinner.

For the record ALL of your Zaku's can be upgraded to F2's.
The Gouf B is a close combat monster, featuring a "head rod" which is essentially a giant taser whip, and an intergrated 75mm finger vulcan system for a right hand.

Also, there are several new weapon systems now available. Aside from the F2's 90mm Rifle with underslung Grenade Launcher, MS scale Panzerfausts are now available, as well as the Zaku Flamethrower.

You go to see the people from Zimmad to see what they want you test out THIS time.
Though to be fair, without agreeing to be a test pilot, you wouldn't have gotten the Gouf OR the Hilda.

>>7393257
Any chance we could convince the R&D guys to develop a 120mm Machine Gun underslung grenade launcher? It seems like such a waste to give it to an inferior weapon.

>>7393257
>Zaku Flamethrower

This is almost as useless as the z'gok variant without any ranged weaponry

>>7393282
Size isn't everything.

>>7393282

That would take some time, and be a bit unwieldy, wouldn't it? Considering how the 120mm guns look like..

>>7393298
Strikes me more as a terror weapon.

The Zaku is am become the dragon.

we need a zeon forum.

>>7393257
Pending whatever Zimmad wants, I say we take the new Gouf, and at least upgrade the J type to an F2. It may or may not be worth giving one to Zol, but it'd probably be a better idea to keep Jolyne in a K model for the time being, since it is her specialty.

>>7393323

We can at least listen to them...

Is this about the Zudah... <_<

>>7393282
Virtually every machine gun used by both sides at the end of the war was 90mm. Apparently somewhere along the line R&D figured a lower caliber worked better on mobile suits.

>>7392125
what thread?

>>7393348
Except you know, against the gundam.

>>7393331
Oh god, if this is about the Zudah...

Well let's just hope that at least one of our pilots enjoys fireworks.

.>>7393351
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=zeonquest

The Christmas one was just for fun. The last couple should be sufficient. The really old stuff makes for a good memory or reference here or there. It's a fun read though.

except a gundam is not a mass produced unit... its like a infantry unit trying to fight a general. You need some upgrades to your zaku or what ever you like using to fight it.

The zudah is a fine high preformance suit, everyone who died in it continuously ignored the huge warnings that the engine was overheating and the frame falling apart.

.... hard to choose, im choosing between a j-zaku or a f-zaku

>>7393298

Well I dunno, it did okay for the Prototype Guntanks in IGLOO 2.
I mean, haven't you ever read the rules for flamethrowers VS tanks in Flames of War?

Anyway, you meet up with Zimmad along with Okawara who has decided to come with you.

As always, the eggheads are pleased to see you.

"You're going to like this I think. I hope. No, were SURE you're going to like this."

"This isn't going to be like the Zudah is it?" Okawara asks.

"No. We've totally learnt from that."

YOU ARE OFFERED THE CHANCE TO TEST OUT THE YMS-09 Prototype Dom

Your orders?

>>7393408

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>7393408
No Gouf boy, No Gouf.

>>7393408
GODDAMN YOU APOLOGIZED YOU FINALLY GIVE US THE GOUF B AND NOW YOU TEASE US WITH DOMS.

FFFFFFF I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO CHOOSE ANYMORE.

>>7393408
What's a Dom? What advantages does it offer over the F2 and the Gouf?

>>7393348
Smaller, less powerful bullets with a magazine that holds less then a third ammunition of the 120mm? I don't buy it.

>>7393310
Fair point. However, I counter with the Rule of Cool.

>>7393445
Wait until we can steal a Ball from the feddies.

>>7393408
>YOU ARE OFFERED THE CHANCE TO TEST OUT THE YMS-09 Prototype Dom

YES YES YES TAKE IT OMG OMG OMG

>>7393450

http://www.mahq.net/MECHA/gundam/0083/ms-09ftrop.htm

:D

>>7393408
We take the new Gouf, give Zol the Dom, and have ruebens with us in El Muerto upgraded to an F2

>>7393476
What would I do with you? Thanks again.

>>7393408

I like the Zaku giving the thumbs up.

I vote we take the Dom, give Zolomon the proper Gouf (imagine him in a unit built for melee) and put Jolyne and Ruubens in Zaku F2s. Obviously Hovis stays in the Hidolfr.

>>7393450
Doms are pretty much the apex of land combat mobile suits during the OYW. They're massive beasts with loads of heavy armor, yet can reach speeds of up to 240 km/h thanks to thermonuclear hoverjets built into the lower legs and skirt armor.

Oh, and they're big enough to carry 360mm bazookas as sidearms.

>>7393486

This yes.

If all comes to plan, everyone in Doms, Jolyene in a Hildorf sniper role and Lister in a Gouf Custom.

Yesssss

>>7393458
>Wait until we can steal a Ball from the feddies.
Oh the terror we could cause with a unit of them. We'd be known as 'The Balls of Garma'. The Federation doesn't stand a chance.

>>7393501
Sounds good, but I'd suggest keeping Jolyne in her K-type since it's build for fire support, which she excels at.

>>7393510
I MUST HAVE IT!

>What's a Dom? What advantages does it offer over the F2 and the Gouf?

You ask this question to the head scientist.

"Okay, one of the primary issues we wanted to address was the issue of battlefield mobility. So we crafted a thermonuclear fanjet hoversystem into the legs and skirt armour. You can use it to move and great speeds over light terrain, also, it's armour and size practically dwarfs the Zaku and Gouf!"

"It's not THAT big."

"It's still bigger. It's been officially classed as a heavy mobile suit."

"Oh, and were also using it to test out this big bruiser..."

You notice a truly GIGANTIC bazooka adjacent to the Mobile Suit.

"Yup. That's a 360mm Bazooka."

>>7393282

I think this came up before: The 90mm gun has superior armor-piercing to the 120mm, so its not strictly worse.

Maybe let Zol have a go on the Gouf B? See if he takes to the Heat Rod like the Heat Hawks?

>>7393501

i second this

>>7393577
Then why not simply develop AP rounds for the 120? I don't mean to sound whiny, but the idea of calling a weapon with bullets 25% smaller and with a magezine capacity only 33% of the previous one an 'upgrade' just seems silly.

>>7393568
I like it! Though I mourn the loss of MG fingers.

>>7393599

Magic FINGERS!

I say we keep our Gouf, and lets see what our resident bruiser and defiler of physics Zol take the Dom?

>>7393599

over pentration. like a human body, you'll want your bullit to spin and reck shit up. thats why nato switched from 7.26 or whatever to 5.52 as the standered round.

TAKE THE DOM.

>>7393693
Point. And the decrease in magazine size? If the bullets really are more powerful, why have less?

>>7393599

Because 90mm's are actually all you need, and the gun puts them out a higher muzzle velocity due to the barrel design. The 120mm's are overkill for what you use them for, hence 90mm.

So is this your current line up?

Squad 1
You: YMS-09 Prototype Dom
Zolomon: MS-07B Gouf
Ruebens: MS-06F2 Zaku F2

Squad 2
Jolyne: MS-06K Zaku Cannon
Hovis: MT-05 Hildolfr
???: MS-06F2?

Sounds all right?

Zol is already used to the desert zaku that was essentially the predecessor of the Dom, right?

So its a natural progression, ya?

... though thoughts of what Zol can do in a Gouf are frightening...

this is a ground campaign right? ie not going into space.

>>7393408
>I mean, haven't you ever read the rules for flamethrowers VS tanks in Flames of War?

WWII tanks generally weren't environmentally sealed...

>>7393739
I think we're divided on Lister taking the Gouf or Dom.

>>7393734

It makes the ammo mags/clips (delete as appropriate) easier to store, and as a result you can fit more of them onto the backpack. Effectively you have the same amount of ammo, you're just switching mags over more.
It also means that rookies who blow through their ammo shooting on full auto wont lose almost half of their ammunition in five seconds of panicked frenzy.

I'm saying we take the Dom and give Zol the Gouf B and watch the sparks fly.

>>7393747

We joined the Zeonic military to travel, we were born in space, why would we wanna go back?

:D

>>7393739
Looks good, and thank you for putting up with my constant questions.

>>7393772

Hey man, we're all in it for the glory of Zeon! No problemo :D

Now that our team is starting to get even more variety in its mobile suits I think we need to work on some awesome combination attacks.

I'm voting ZEON DYNAMIC SPECIAL needs to be created asap.

>>7393739
Agreed. As for weapons:
Us: Giant bazooka, heat sword, see if we can cram a sturm faust or two in there somewhere.
Zol: In addition to fixed weapons, heat saber, and one of the new 90mm machine guns.
Ruubens: 90mm machine gun, leg missile pods, crackers, heat hawk.

Jolyne: Fixed weapons, Magella cannon, crackers, leg missiles if it can hold them.
Hidolfr: Pair of 90mm machine pistols, to supplant its big gun.

>>7393793

NO!

Jetstream attack is no. D:

It... it doesn't work out too well...

>>7393793
>ZEON DYNAMIC SPECIAL

Dom Picks up Gouf, carries at top speed, and then LAUNCHES IN DIRECTION OF ENEMY?

>>7393739

Looks cool to me.

>>7393804
thats only vs a gundam cause a gundam is faster than a DOM

>>7393759

im up for us in the dom, zolo in the gouf.

>>7393821

I concur.

Lets get with the CROSS TRAINING :D

don't we still have the prototype Gouf, If so give it to Ruubens

>>7393829

I think they are taking it for a shakedown, weren't they?

isnt the second unit er 1 short?

>>7393811

This sounds interesting...

>>7393829
Pretty sure the F2 is superior to the prototype Gouf, if not then let's go with this idea.

OHSHIT! How good will the skeleton paintjob look on a Dom? This is fucking important.

>>7393850
Ruuben's isn't the melee prodigy that Zol is. She may be better off with the more well-rounded F2.

you guys should think tactical and not special combos.

>>7393829

we must be the most tooled up squad in the prinsiplaity. i mean, fucking CHAR must be shitting his pants with enevy.

thank for for R&D

>>7393862

This, and now we should all go for the cross training regime and training with Lord Garma's household infantry...

>>7393860
Ruubens in fact seems to be a shooting prodigy given how she had to turn off the targetting computer cause it was holding her back. If the R&D ever came up with mobile suit scale pistol weapons they would be perfect for her.

With your unit composition agreed on you await your final unit member. A fresh faced recruit that looks like he's just out of boot camp.

He introduces himself as Shiro Amazaki. You aren't sure how he's managed to swing a plum assignment like this, it'd probably make a good story though.

He will be piloting the F2 in squad two unless you have any objections?

>>7393924

Thats fine, but we need to get to training so we can get used to each other.

>>7393924
Just keep him away from any female commanding officers we may have in the future and we have our man.

>>7393924

OH GOD HES A PRETTY BOY! HES THE MOST POWERFUL OF US ALL D:

>>7393924
He's in that very thin band of androgyny that is not adorable. Can we see his file?

>>7393884
Why not give her the giant Bazooka?

>>7393924

Sure. But lets talk to him, see if the new guy is ready to protect the son of Zabi.

>>7393946

*waits for karuo to join the team

tho in fairness, his was the most powerful eva pilot too. and as gay as he could get with out equitment.

A new recruit, pretty boy, landing an assignment like this...

If this entire squad isn't made up of newtypes by the end off the war I'm going to be stunned. Only Jolyne and Hovis haven't shown any potential signs yet that I can think of offhand. Zol's got his insane melee, Ruubens has her outdoing the targetting comp in one of her first fights, we're just awesome and this guy's pretty enough to be a main character.

We need some funnels asap.

>>7393990
Alternately, he may be a hidden redshirt. Ask if he has a girlfriend back home/big dreams/plans to settle down after the war.

>>7394013
Also, ask if he likes to play the piano...

>>7394013
More likely he's one of those kids who were bred for war or the son of a gal darnned noble or something.

>>7393990
>we're just awesome
And we've been fighting the entire time with our own targeting computer off.

>>7393946
>>7393960

According to his file, his father is one of the Generals on Garma's staff. Probably one of the four or five men who are ACTUALLY running the Earth Campaign.

His test scores seem above average, but he is untried.

After setting up your squad you finish moving all of your stuff into the mansion. You are each alloted a fairly palatial room in the mansion as your quarters. You are also all given pagers, which go off around 3pm. Captain Garma is calling you into his quarters for a mission.

He certainly doesn't waste any time.

>>7394068

dress fast, make sure the rest of the squad is ready, then see his love sick ass.

>>7394068

Lets go and do stuff!

>>7394068
>father is one of the Generals

Well, shit.

Let's go, best not to keep the Prince waiting.

Have we had time to get Ruubens fitted for a better dress uniform yet?

>>7394068

when we have the time we need to run through the simulators with him or use HUGE paintballs for combat exercise to test him.

>>7394118

This.

And why do I always miss the begining of these things

>>7394068
make sure ruubens is lookin fine.

I think this thread is auto sageing... possibly need a new thread?

>>7394097

Luckily yes. That's what she's spent most of the morning doing. She hadn't had to unpack yet so she had some extra time.

You all manage to arrive realtively smart looking in the briefing room.

"Well ladies and gentlemen, I sincerely hope you are all settled in now, since I've reached an agreement with my erstwhile handlers. They've agreed to let us inspect the troops up north.
Tommorow morning I've been *sigh* allowed to visit the troops in Canada. I've had General Amazaki forward the relevant details to your room Lieutenant. I hope to see you all bright and early gentlemen. Please do all remember to wrap up."

You are then dismissed. When you return to your office, you find a dossier on the forces stationed in Quebec on your desk.

I just realised something, if we're gonna be Garma's honour guard then we're almost certainly going to be having to go to formal events and stuff. We need to get dancing lessons and stuff like for the whole squad.

>>7394306
Thread autosages at 250, we have plenty of room.

>>7394314
Hopefully it's not all destroyed Mont Royal is beautiful in the summer.

Also, why wrap up? It's June, isn't it?

>>7394342
>Also, why wrap up? It's June, isn't it?

Pretty sure the climate is fairly fucked up thanks to Operation British.

>>7394314
Oh Canada, Oh Canada, something something something...

Go Canada!

>>7394357
That, and we are an army of spacenoids. Some Zeon troops haven't even seen thunderstorms before, so I think Garma can be forgiven for thinking Canada=Cold.

>>7394357
It's still hot in the south and centro-america.

>>7393884

I agree with >>7393969
standard machine gun with a bazooka as a side arm
but I say ask R&D to develop a sniper rifle for her.

Tho I still think a bazooka is still good with the machine auto aiming, so if she gets rid of the bazooka give it to someone else. You want two with some extra long range.

You spend the evening going through the General's itinery. Evidently Garma's visti will involve a fairly simple and sanitised tour of some second line troops and then a dinner with an MS Company Captain.
It all looks fairly safe. This of course sets of your paranoia alarms, but you're pretty sure this time it's unfounded.

>>7394394
Hell, most earth-folk think that.

>>7394317
Ah dammit.
>>7394314
Go over the details with our team & brainstorm ideas.

>>7394410
Uh...the giant bazooka is nearly as big as the Zaku itself. The only -06 series that can equip something that size are the R models, and we won't be seeing those for a long time.

>>7394445

Nothing is ever safe, and since Garma has permission to visit, the information of said visit has spread through the ranks and is now in the hands of federation forces. Research the area type and prepare your squad.

>>7394445
>This of course sets of your paranoia alarms, but you're pretty sure this time it's unfounded.

It's never unfounded. ;__;
No sleep this week.

>>7394475
Model number: MS-06F2
Optional hand armaments:280mm Zaku bazooka

tho i have no idea what is a heat hawk...

>>7394503
Looks like I picked a bad week to quit smoking.

>>7394410

The Giant Bazooka isn't in production, it's still in the prototype stage.

Anyway the next morning, you are pleased to see that the new Dom has arrived and that all of the upgrade work on your squad has finished. The Squad is then loaded up, Garma is taking his custom Zaku (his perogative you guess.) in his own private Gaw. The Gaw is also carrying the Hildolfr as well. The rest of you are escorting the Plane whilst riding on Dodai's.

The journey should take about four hours.

On the way you have enough time to talk with your newer members if you like.

Any questions you'd like to give them?

>>7394545

its a giant axe. thats very hot.

>>7394557
So Shiro.... do you like Gladiator movies?

>>7394558
ah ok, so thats the official name of the axe of doom.

>>7394557
Ask the new guy what his story is, make sure all that fancy blueblood nonsense won't get in the way in a real battle.

>Any questions you'd like to give them?

What's it like Ruebbens, being female again?

>>7394557

ask Zol about his zaku, Ruubens about its new gender this mission, Jol about the mobile suit Maui Thai, Hovis how he got so classy, and the new guy Shiro what he dad does"we want to find out if he wants tomake it on his own or if hes pleasing mommy/daddy"

>>7394317

Zol.

Dancing.

My mind just exploded.

>>7394676
>ask Zol about his zaku

This, a million times.

>>7394697
MASTER OF THE ZEONIC FUNK

Can we see about getting Zolomon a Dozle custom type Heat Hawk (As seen in the OP picture)? It probably won't be too useful on earth, but who knows when we'll need to slice a ship in half.

Get to know the new kid.

Find out about the new guy.

(Also, my preference for suit loadout is:
Us - Dom
Zol - Gouf
Everyone else - F2/Cannon/Hidolfr)

>>7394621

"Well, uh, I guess it just seemed like a good idea is all. I mean my dad is in the army, my grandad was in the army and so on and so forth. There didn't really seem to be a better time to join up than now, so, er, here I am!"

>>7394638

"I miss wearing trousers." Is all she says initially.

"Actually you CAN wear trousers, as long as you keep wearing the female tunic over it. Guys may think you're a lesbian though." supplies Jolyne.

"Does that make them less likely to hit on you?"

"Not as much as you'd think."

>>7394847
I smell impending death...Someone keep an eye on the kid.

>>7394847
keep an eye out, we dont want to get complacent while chatting only to get raped by AA fire or something totally rando -_-

>>7394874
keep an eye out
and he should not allowed to charge out on his own till given the order, and when given the order he must retreat.

>>7394847
>>7394874

Mmm. When we're doing squad training, let's do everything we can to bring this kid up to our skill level. If his rich and powerful daddy likes us for keeeping his son alive... yeah. Friends in high places.

>>7394906
We're already the honor guard for the youngest member of Zeon's ruling family. Can't get much higher then that.

>>7394847

how much combat has the kid seen? real, shooty combat?

>>7394847

Also, what's our squad organization? We should stick the new kid in with Jolyne/Hidolfr's arty squad - that way, she can teach him to shoot, and he's away from the main messy mess we usually get stuck into.

>>7394906
This sounds good. Keeping as many MS and pilots alive to fight the feddies later in the war is always a plus.

>>7394961
I believe the current squad order is

David - Dom Proto
Zolomon - Gouf-B
Reubens - El Muerto F2

Joylne - Zaku Cannon
Hovis - Hildorf
New Kid - Zaku II F2

>>7394988

Mmm, Excellent. Delicious Dom.

>>7394951
The more high up people we befriend the better. We dont want to rely on just one person that's in the higher social strata.

>>7395061
Especially if he's prone to death.

>>7395070
Well if he dies, that's kind of our fault now.

>>7395083
Between Char and a mournful Dozle, we should really keep him alive..unless...well, you know....

>>7395096
Well we all know what happens if Garma dies 3 months from now...but what if Gihren got control of the empire earlier?

>>7395118
Violations

>>7395096

It's all in the name of preventing Ghiren from taking over, frankly.
That, and if we can keep Garma alive long enough to make him a decent commander might help the war, too.

>>7395146

Ohhh, idea. Lets have Lord Garma train with us. :D

>>7394904

Since he's part of the support squadron along with Jolyne and Hovis, he's probably as safe as can be expected.

You arrive at 11am in Quebec Airport, and are welcomed by some bigwigs. From there your unit disembarks and travels on MS, escorting Garma as he talks with the guy in the Jeep.

Eventually the Jeep takes you to his first stop: the 14th Air Squadron.

You set yourselves up in parade formation, still keeping an eye on things, whilst Garma meets and greets "the common people". He is then personally gifted with a Dopp Fighter in his colours

>>7395160
>Lets have Lord Garma train with us.
>:D

...

>>7395206
Keep vigilant, try not to embarrass him, we're not really that imposing outside of mobile suits as I think of our team....

>>7395309

not at all imposing with the 2 arty peaces and, possbly, the skelton paint job (are we in it?) not at all...

keep ready, keep alert, and dont let the plane take of without checking it wont suddenly explode. anyway, its not like there expecting garma to suddenly take off in the thing.

>>7395309

Our team looks like a bad comic sketch outside of our suits, frankly.

But yes, lets do our best to look professional.

>>7395309

wait. fuck. i missread. fuck. scrach my last comment. im a retard.

>>7395336
More like the best sketch comedy ever!

If possible, we should try to get a look at that Dopp before Garma uses it, on the off-chance it's been sabotaged.

Anyway, afterwards you all travel to the city, where you have to dismount and are all treated to a nice meal hobnobbing with various officers.
The meal however is rudely interrupted by air raid sirens.
The officers seem suprised and agitated by this. You politely leave your table to look outside, you can see Dopps and Federation fighters duelling with each other, as well the occaisional Medea which the federation fighters appear to be escorting.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>7395365
We're an honour guard now, Garma's safety is our priority, we escort him to a safe place before considering joining the battle.

>>7395378

Seconded.

>>7395378
This. ASAP.

>>7395378
This. Be on the lookout, those Medea's are likely carrying enemy ground units, possible some stolen/modified Mobile Suits. Be prepared for attack both from the air and the ground.

>>7395365

make sure garma gose to the shelter, then mount up and roll out.

>>7395365
"Respectfully, Lord, we should take our leave to a more defensible position."

>>7395365

Escort Garma out of here. Quickly. Finally take advantage of Jolyne's AA capabilities. See if the Hidolfr has any of that giant buckshot round ready to use as flak.

/Don't/ get him out via GAW. We can't keep up, and we're at zero combat strength in the air. Either get him into an armoured car or his Zaku, and make a beeline out via a secured land route.

Fire in controlled bursts. Don't waste ammo. Tell Zol to stick to Garam like glue, since he's in a CC suit against fighters.

>>7395365
Not to be a party pooper for the rest of you but Garma is young and eager. He's going to test out that new Dopp of his...

>>7395446
This I realize. Now what bodyguards would we be if we let our young charge go and do something stupid like that? A gentle knock to his noggin should buy us enough time to get him somewhere safe.

You quickly but quietly inform Garma that it would probably be best to leave.

"Perhaps now would be a good time to test out my new Dopp?" He jokes.
You hope he's joking anyway.

"... actually sir, I'd prefer it if you were in your Zaku, and if we're going back to Gaw anyway, then we might as well leave."

"Oh very well."

HOW WILL YOU BE TRANSPORTING GARMA BACK TO BASE?

>>7395446

No he is not.

He may be Lord Garma, but he is our responsibility.

We keep him safe.

If he wants to try out his new toys, we can setup an exercise...

which brings up the question, how much ACTUAL combat experience does the Zabi family have... <_<

>>7395446

he can want, but if its within our perswasive powers, we shouldnt let him

also, im currently playing "chicks dig giant robots". rock.

>>7395446

Mind you however, he did say he would defer to our experience in the case of an acutal battle, and this certainly fits that bill.

>>7395411

Also this. We need to be prepared to use our Dom and Goufs heavy armour as a shield for Garma if necesarry.

...If we can Blitzkrieg the Medea Landing zones with our Dmm's ridiclous speed, while the rest of the squad covers him, we can prevent a land battle from ever happening. Plus we can push the specs on this new suit, see what it can max out at.

>>7395477
I'm not sure, what are our options? Armored car, Zaku, and what the heck is a GAW?

After the nonsense with Feddie fighters, I suggest we start doing squad tactics with the lord commander.

"We'll better protect you if you actually can help us keep your hide from being burned."

And you know, when Char turns into a fuckwit, Garma woulnd't be the little foppy ponce he is.

>>7395443

I agree Garma in his Zaku if its there while we get him to safety. If no zaku then let him ride with Rubens, Zol and Ruubens and the new guy flee with Garma to safety while Jol shoots at federation fighters, Hovis shoots down Medea. Us, we go ahead and make sure Jol and Hovis aren't attacked.

>>7395477

Land Route, /do not/ load up into a Gaw unless all enemy fighters are destroyed. It's too great a risk.
Also, Blitz the Medeas. Buy time for an orderly fallback.

>>7395499

http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/msgundam/gaw.htm

Sam, maybe we should bookmark this page for you... XD

Stick Garma in his Zaku. The Dopp would be a sitting duck with all the Fed fighters up there. Have Zol and our Zakus cover him while us, the Hidolfr, and Jolyne shell those Medeas out of the sky.

>>7395531

This.

Garma Zabi is to be protected at all costs.

>>7395515

is the mecha section working for everyone? when i tryed to navaget there by menu said it had been hacked. but only the gundam page

land rout, if possble not by MS. power houses of awsom they might be, but sutble they are not. something cross country, take advtangte of the cover.

>>7395515
That would probably be for the best.

>>7395531
Backing this.

>>7395477
Ask Garma if a training session or two so you all can better react to each other in case of a fight we can't run away from.

I can see the propaganda...

LORD GARMA LEADS PERSONAL COUNTER ATTACK AGAINST FEDDIES IN MONTREAL

>>7395558

The pages on MAHQ.net themselves work, it's just the menu bar. You can find the pages simply by putting in the MS name and number into google.

>>7395504
>I agree Garma in his Zaku if its there while we get him to safety. If no zaku then let him ride with Rubens, Zol and Ruubens and the new guy flee with Garma to safety while Jol shoots at federation fighters, Hovis shoots down Medea. Us, we go ahead and make sure Jol and Hovis aren't attacked.

You politely stuff Garma in with Ruubens and tell her to dash to the Gaw. You put her in a squad with Shiro and Zol, you make Zol the squad leader.

Meanwhile you tell Jolyne and Hovis to switch to AA ammo and start attacking those Medeas. Your Bazooka, with it's low ammo, isn't really all that good for dealing with airforces.

It might do better with tanks - for instance the once the Medeas are paradropping onto Quebec.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>7395680

Which might be a good thing - boost morale, etc. Plus, all he needs is to be present, and in a Zaku - he doesn't need to do any actual fighting.

>>7395701
Well there we go. Blow those tanks back into the sky.

>>7395701

Lets test out this Doms thermonuclear fanjets

We're at limit OP I would suggest moving to another thread.

>>7395701
Use bazooka on Medeas; they make big enough targets that we have a decent chance of hitting, right?

>>7395701

Blitzkreig the tanks. Use our ridiculous speed and firepower to completely disrupt their formations. Start spamming that heat saber if we run out of ammo.

>>7395701
>YOUR ORDERS?
IT'S ZAKU TI-wait...I got it!

DOMinate them!

Seriously though. Use this as a chance to give our suit a workout.

We want Garma to survive, right? Thing is, there's no way we can save him from everything he's going to face. We'll eventually miss something.
He needs to man up and become a confident asskicking machine to survive, and us hiding him from every potential danger isn't going to do that.

>>7395815

Yes, but he doesn't have his Zaku with him. So unless you want him to be sent out to fight tanks and fighters with his service pistol...

>>7395815
>He needs to man up and become a confident asskicking machine to survive, and us hiding him from every potential danger isn't going to do that.

True, but we need to get him trained to a degree of competence first. If he jumped in his Dopp without first getting some practice in a relatively safe environment then he would end up dead sooner than in canon.

I agree with you but now just isn't the time to start manning him up.

Archiving now
