Your current unit consists of:

SQUAD 1

Sir David Lister - Liuetenant
Piloting an YMS-09 Dom Prototype

Zolomon Ringo - Ensign - Close Combat Specialist
Piloting an MS-07B Gouf

Elaine "Ruubens" Arronax - Pvt 1st Class
Piloting an MS-06F2 Zaku II

SQUAD 2 (Support Unit)

Jolyne Brande - Corporal
Piloting a MS-06K Cannon Zaku

Hovis Goddard - Private 1st Class
Piloting the MT-05 Hildolfr

Shiro Amazaki - Private
Piloting a MS-06F2 Zaku II

You eventually return to the safety of California and your barracks in the old Governors Mansion around tea-time. Being Garma's honour guard affords you a higher level of chow than it did back in 321 company.

Garma thanks you for your help back in Canada and tells you all to get some food and rest.

YOU HAVE SOME FREE TIME BEFORE BED, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO?

There are some options you might want to explore:

- The Dom you pilot is a prototype, the guys from Zimmad would probably want you to help them doing perfromance tests
- Writing those essays on Peacekeeping and Combined Arms tactics in a post Minovsky+Mobile Suit world.
- Training up Garma into GARma.
- Pestering your Head Engineer, Okawara about new experimental weapons and ideas

Plus anything else you can think of.

>>7408212
>- Training up Garma into GARma.

This seems appealling, but maybe we should wait until tomorrow. So get to work on those essays, for now.

>>7408266

i second this. write the paper tonight, then, asuming were not gona, i dont know, wind up fighting tomorrow, train garma and test the doms limits.

also, considered "prepear for DOMination"?

its about the best i can do in the classy puns department...

>>7408304
>its about the best i can do in the classy puns department...

Trust me, it can't be done.

You spend the rest of the night working on those essays, hashing out ideas and finding research materials.
It might do you well to try and contact relevant experts in the Military Academy back on Side 3...

In any case, at the rate you're going, the treatises might be finished in about 2-3 months.

The morning comes. What do you want to do now?

Ask Garma if he wants to try some manuvers with the team. First we gauge if he's any good, then we work on his survival skills. At the same time, we try out the Dom: If the team can take it on going at 300+kph, they might just be able to hit the Gundam.

i dont know about anyone else, but i recorn we should take the team out on an exerise. and test the dom. hard. the team new guy needs some cross training with the squad anyway...

>>7408400
Talk to Zimmer about the combat yesterday. Give him our opinions on the Suit. I believe we had something to say about the nitro rocket boost or something. Then maybe some tests.

has op buggered of for dinner?

>>7408754

The entire thread seems to have gone quiet, TBH. I guess many of the regulars aren't about.

>>7408801
I'm here. Just waiting for OP.

>>7408754

Yes. Sorry.

You check with Lord Garma's current itenerary today, and then check with his generals about doing combat training.
The generals seem all to pleased for someone to keep him occupied and out of trouble.

The only real niggle is that you have to wake Garma up. Apparently he sleeps in until 10 usually.
Well that shit isn't going to fly any more.

You firmly but politely wake him up at 9, informing him that it's time for some Mobile Suit excercises.
You also politely but firmly resist the urge to stroke his hair GODDAMN IT WHY IS IT SO SHINY.

In about an hour, all of your squad including Garma are in your Zaku's.

Note: Garma's custom MS-06Fs Zaku II (custom model) is a normal F type Zaku with four 25mm Head Vulcans.

>>7409189
>four 25mm Head Vulcans.

I must have it! What are the chances of getting something like that for Rubens or Jolyne or Shiro?

Do some basic training for warmup, then test out the Doms manuverability with the rest of the squad using paint rounds to try and hit us.

>>7409244

well, if garma were to fall of a ledge or something...

what? we're all thinking it!

>>7409282
NO

WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO HIS HAIR

UNACCEPTABLE

>>7409282
Of course! If he falls, we can go rescue him and earn more brownie points! Mmmmmm, brownies.... Then he might give us access to such wonderful technologies.

>>7409292
>>7409189
Okay, seriously, what is it about the hair? Is it an inside joke or something?

>>7409189

Any chance of getting his Zaku modded out for more speed/survivability by Ookarwa?

Let's be honest, he won't be GARma for a while and we're trying to keep him alive.

Aside from that [assuming he has no training] we should focus on basic survivability drills, and how to get him close to one of us if a situation arises. We can then move on to basic skills such as accurate firing, jump jetting etc.

Can we schedule a meeting with any of his generals/handlers to get more information on the wee prince? Things like his plans, what he has been up to etc? I know they'll be busy, but maybe a lunch meeting?

>>7409304

Garma is just a little FABULOUS. Just a little.

>>7409325
Oh.

>>7409325
Understatement.

>>7409392
Where's Garma in that picture? Is he hiding behind that lady with the purple hair?

>>7409408
Fuuuuuuuuuu

>>7409408
Son, I have something to tell you.

after lunch i may hook up my tablet for some quick drawfaggin.

lister needs to work on his ace pilot hair flip after all

>>7409244
>I must have it! What are the chances of getting something like that for Rubens or Jolyne or Shiro?

Well, since the Desert model Zaku had a pair of 25mm Head Vulcans, then the F2 and K type could probably be converted with the D type head in about a day.

The Gouf might be a bit more problematic though, the connectors aren't 100% the same.

The Dom is right out. For a start it's a prototype, Zimmad aren't going to let you make ANY modifications.

>Do some basic training for warmup, then test out the Doms manuverability with the rest of the squad using paint rounds to try and hit us.

You do this. You pair up Jolyne with Shiro and Zolomon with Garma, and Ruubens and Hovis together.

You book out a preset testing zone (it's one you remember using when testing the Gouf Prototype) and the lot of you go at it for a few hours.

We will make her fall in love with us damnit.

Whether by saving her baby bro, or killing the the entire Federation by ourselves...

She will be ours!

>>7409428
>>7409319

I still support the training program for Garma.

It is important for our squad to keep rock solid, but we need to up the little faggots survivability. He is an icon of Zeon.

>>7409466
Supporting this because of metareasons - the fucker will survive Char even if that's the last thing we do.

>>7409428
Also in the evening read the paper, check the commlinks etc.

What else is going on in the war? What is the status of things? Where are the hotspots?

>>7409466
he needs to be taught the usefullness of rediculously over-the-top finishing moves

>>7409478

Well... a non-meta reason...:/

Lister is a badass, and isn't gonna let some whiny punk ruin our perfect track record by getting himself offed. At any point in the war.

We are a professional damnit.

>>7409466

getting the zukus done (the gouf and the dom arnt as important) could be done without to much issue, instead training garma without zakus and foucusing on diffrent areas instead.

>>7409454
>She will be ours!

Screw that, we're all about getting Ruubens.

Are we his body guards outside of combat as well?

Shouldn't we at least include basic pistol handling and maybe how to break out of a grapple?

In case Feddie terrorists decide to kidnap and brainwash him.

>>7409536

Lister doesn't want some sweettart pseudo-loli 'omg kawaii mecha touhou' type girl.

He wants a REAL woman.

Plus man, you fuck up the chain of command, NEVER down it.

>>7409536
And so the shipping resumes. But really, did it ever truly stop?

>>7409428
Excellent. I was more interested in getting it for the others with their largely unmodified/non-prototype Suits for a bit of an advantage. That plus MOAR DAKKA!

>>7409413
>>7409415
What? Is there something in my teeth?

>>7409454
Is that Garm's sister?

>>7409566
>Lister doesn't want some sweettart pseudo-loli 'omg kawaii mecha touhou' type girl.

>Ruubens
>sweettart pseudo-loli 'omg kawaii mecha touhou' type girl.

wut

So what is our move guys?

Add head vulcans and training plan for Garma for survivability?

>>7409619
>Add head vulcans and training plan for Garma for survivability?

Pretty much this I reckon.

>>7409619

ill take this plan

>>7409566
>Plus man, you fuck up the chain of command, NEVER down it.

i hope lady zabi dosent know that pertcule maxim

>>7409738

>i hope lady zabi dosent know that pertcule maxim

Lister is gonna give her some training it in.

Hero of the Principality.
Fucker of the Leaders ONLY daughter.

We can probably manage to put Amuro into a 10,000-year unrevivable stasis at this rate.

>>7409566
I'm sorry, are you standing in the way of true love? Because I foresee that going *very* badly for you.

>>7409536
>Screw that, we're all about getting Ruubens.

There's always the Tatewaki Kuno solution.

Anyway.

You spend the morning darting about avoiding paintballs the size of tennis balls. One of the things you notice is that whilst you can only use the Skirt thrusters to move forwards, and when you jink or try to skate backwards you don't have the same level of speed.
You remember to note that down.

On the subject of your new pilots, Garma actually seems pretty good for a guy who the generals have been trying to insulate for six months. It's clear he's short on experiance, but his skills are pretty close to top notch.

Shiro seems more average and by the book, on the other hand he's got more patience to deal with firefights methodically instead of making daring all or nothing charges like Garma has the habit of making.

Hovis... Ever seen a paintball 30cm across? My god the MESS.

Everyone else is as amazing as you expect. Zolomon for instace is fucking terrifying, even if he isn't all that sold on the Gouf's loadout.

When it comes to lunch, Garma suggests travelling down to the docks area, as there a nice restaurant in the restoration zone.

>>7409807

Are we still in our paint splattered jumpsuits?

We could pretend to just be normal soldiers.

"What? The rookie? He gets that all the time."

>>7409807
>Tatewaki Kuno solution

Tell me more...

>>7409848

Fuck both of them and brag about it.

>>7409873
That doesn't sound very nice...

>>7409807
Go eat Lunch.

>>GENTLEMEN THERE ARE NO CLASSY PUNS ONE CAN MAKE ABOUT RIDING A DOM.

"When you're riding a Dom, you're always on top!"

>>7409839

Yeah see if we can convince Garma to go out in our Op suits. A 'one of the people' thing.

We'll score points because we disregard military stuffiness. Of course we do it in a respectful manner.

Make sure everyone is pack their sidearms. Constant vigilance during luncheroo. Is it jsut him and our squad, or is he bringing his higher-up butt buddies?

Pick his brain on the overall war, and what he knows about the plans etc.[I'm assuming he is just a figurhead used by Zeon?]

Do we still have the Proto-Gouf? Zol might want to use it instead, or at least check the difference between them.

>>7409807
remember to watch our backs, assassins could be anywhere, anyone, anything. also, concealed sidearms.

>>7409807
Get Garma to chill out on all those 'all or nothing' charges. Not to say he should stop them alltogether, after all, he's gotta have some balls. But there's a time and a place for those kinds of things.

>>7409839
>Are we still in our paint splattered jumpsuits?

No, but Okawara is going to be pissed when he sees the mess of your MS suits.

>>7409848
>Tell me more...

I beleive it's the one that goes: "I cannot choose: I must have them both!"

>>7409926
Are you saying taking out White Base isn't a worthy time to go all or nothing?

>>7409944
Hmmm, well polygamy does solve a lot of problems... the real question is, would they be okay with it?

>>7409848
Commit to both pursuits utterly and to the total exclusion of the other.

>>7409981
So, go for both while neglecting our piloting?

>>7409944

so we stalk both, and never get either?

that plan dose not sound good. at all.

I vote we think more about our job right now. We can think about our love life at a later date.

>>7410012
But if we could make it work... If two people can be really happy while in love, imagine how much happiness three people could have if you removed all the goddamn sexual tension and love triangles!

there are 6 billion humans on earth, do we really want to be THAT happy?

>>7410052

true, not to mention sexual shinigans...

>>7410003
No. Romance both through piloting.

>>7410086
Long as your not a complete ass and you have excellent skills you don't need to worry about wooing.
Courting them both at the same time though, that takes way too much time.

So now our current goal is to keep Garma alive and get both Kycillia and Ruubens into a relationship at the same time?

We have set Dave Lister a truely noble goal.

>>7410052
>>7410086
Make it so.

Anyway, what shall we order for lunch? I was thinking about a chicken vindaloo.

>>7410112

David Lister is a true bro.

>>7410112
Don't forget we have to play matchmaker with Zol and Jolyne. The things we do for love.

>>7410116

Most definitely!

Also supporting the whole go incognito.

>>7409454
We have all been deceived! She NEVER looked this good in the series damn it

Aright so post lunch we settle into our routine of training us and our squad, running spec on the Dom, training Garma and writing our papers in the evenings.

A night on the town with Zol to keep our bro level up every now and then too.

Awaiting orders.

>>7410130
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgptvsHHYK4

After making sure that you are ALL packing sidearms, you change into civvies and requisiton a couple of Jeeps and follow Garma's directions to what actually transpires to be a fairly classy cafe. It also appears to be heavily frequented by Zeonic soliders, which helps ease some of your security concerns.

After a fairly nice lunch discussing some of the finer points of NOT CHARGING AHEAD AND GETTING YOURSELF KILLED you all decide to leave back to the mansion.

As you're leaving Garma decides to lead the way... which partially implies that he hasn't listened too well to what you told him.
Anyway as he's walking to the Jeep, a young women with blond hair accidentially runs into him whilst carrying a cardboard box of food, tomatos, fruits and misc sauces spill over the pavement and onto Garma.

Guns are pulled and shouting ensues for the next two miunutes.

>future couple meet by running into each other

THIS IS JUST LIKE ONE OF MY JAPANESE ANIMES!

>>7410170
Shit, that sauce might be poisoned! On the ground lady, on the ground!

I jest.

YES

saving that pic, using it for "I see what you did there"

>>7410170
Maintain situational awareness!

The squaddies can deal with a single girl, but she may be a decoy for a sniper or something. Look alive!

>>7410170
ohlawdie - inb4 plant feddie material on her and have her executed.

>>7410266
What? But, they can't fall in love if she's dead! We must save her!

>>7410281

But Garma wouldn't bomb white base if he didn't love her.

In other words: Bitch gotta go!

>>7410305
What?

>>7410193

Yeah, no Muslim-Religious-Denomination*.

After you confirm that Garma is only covered in pasta sauce and hasn't been horribly wounded in a random accident that would get you all bumped down to private, Garma (ever the gentleman) helps the young lady up.

"I'm so sorry!" She apoligises.

"It's quite alright, I'm sure I have other clothes."

The two begin talking whilst you have Zolomon go get tissues.

It transpires that she is one of the volunteers helping with the restoration effort in the docks. You see, after the colony drop, a vast tsunami devestated the California region and large civilian and military effort is being put into picking up the pieces.

* Shi'ite

>>7410325

i like how garma sentence makes it sound like his taking it on faith, like his never seen his clothes, but is just hopeful there there

and awwwww.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6inwzOooXRU whats in my head now.

>>7410325

Mill about while the little faggot attempts to transition into adulthood.

he reminds me of Larsa.

>>7410305

What? Yes he would. He totally would.

>>7410325

She gives her name as "Icelina". Honestly, whatever happened to normal names like yours?

At any rate, she offers to clean his clothes for him which he politely declines. She insists however and Garma states that if she is so desperate to obtain his clothes then she is welcome to dinner tonight.

Oh god, you think you felt the genre shift from war drama to romantic comedy there. You'd better shoot Zolomon in the leg when he get's back.

Wait and see how long Icelina can resist the urge to touch that hair. OH GOD THAT HAIR IT'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I'VE EVER SEEN I WISH TO RUN MY FINGERS THROUGH IT.

>>7410411
Gundam happened.

Do we have a way to do a background check on her? Snoop around, if anything--preferably in a way that we can be seen. Make it clear to her that we do not fuck about.

>>7410312
>>7410312
>>7410312
shes a distraction from the glory of Zeon!

>>7410411

So now we are going to chaperone the wee prince on a fucking date?

The things we do for ZEON.

>>7410411
I like where this is going.

>>7410418

to be fair, this is exactly why garmas gona pull. if white base had seen garmas FANTASTIC HAIR it wouldnt have had the heart to pull the trigger. but alsa.

on the meta game frount, i wonder if we can eventual depose the elder zabis, nuts and currupt as they are, put garma on the throne, and...i dont know. i havent thought this all the way threw, but it might end beter for zeon then the current time line, or trying to win. tho prahapse not.

>>7410444

Seconding Background check. See if we can't get Zeonic Intelligence to help.

"Lord Garma is in love. Find out ever dirty secret she has!"

Of course, that's followed by 10 minutes of "Yes, she. As in a woman. As in she doesn't have a penis!"

After agreeing to Garma's generous (possibly overly so) offer, you take Icelina to the side and ask for her full name, so as to make sure the guards at the gate know to expect her.

You get a full name of Icelina Eschonbach which you resolve to do a full background check as soon as you get back. It also looks like you've got an excuse to boss around the intelligence spooks in the mansion for a change.

>>7410542
Fukken lol'd.

>>7410542

When you return you stop around the intelligence area of the mansion. Inside you find a familiar face.

"Well well, if it isn't old David Lister, made Ell-Tee did we? I noticed that you made your 100 plus tank kills over in Canada by the way. So if you're looking for an excuse to get blotto, I'd use that."

The Spy formally known as Incognito.

"Uh, well actually, I'm looking to do a background check on someone. Seems our Captain Garma has taken a shine to one Icelina Eschonbach, and I'd like to make sure she's not a federation master assassin before allowing her in for dinner tonight."

"Icelina Eschonbach is the daughter of Raul Eschonbach, mayor of New York from 74 to 76 and is again after the occupation. Born UC 0057, has a second class degree in english and history of supporting "worthy causes". "

"Bloody hell!"

"I had to do a background check on her when I was in New York. Don't worry about her, she's harmless and daddies all to willing to play ball with us whilst were winning."

ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ASK?

>>7410721

Status of the war.

Possible upcoming maouvres and targets.

>>7410721
Do not trust. Incognito is not a nice dude. Beating your wife is never cool.

>>7410721
"so dude, know any good hidden stills around here?"

>>7410721

What the hell is she doing in California?

>>7410721

why is he "formerly" known as incogneto now?

hows he been doing?

also, dose he want to join the team. TBH, im not quite sure what the scope of an honor guard is, but having a spook around might well be useful. plus, incogneto can get shit done. if this is inaproprate then...erm...dont.

>>7410761

This. Seems a little off.

>>7410777

unless were useing it as in "formal tital" rather then "former spous".

>>7410744

You ask him about the state of the war.

"Honestly? I'm amazed we've done as well as we did. We didn't think we had the resources to hold the suff we got after Operation British, let alone what we've got now. Except now were in a stalemate. Not enough resources to push forwards, but they don't have the tech to push us back. My hotspot tips for this season? Steer clear of Midway, Odessa and Peking. Well, maybe not Midway, some of the new stuff we've got for the Marine Mobile Suit research is going to kick the crap out of the Federation Wet Navy."

>>7410753
>"so dude, know any good hidden stills around here?"

"Well, the old hot water boiler in the attic CERTAINLY hasn't been converted in to one, that's for sure."

>>7410761

"She moved here to help with the disaster relief effort prior to the invasion. Travel got a little bit dicey afterwards you know?"

>>7410777
>why is he "formerly" known as incogneto now?

Because that's obviously not his real name. You have NO idea what he's calling himself now.

>hows he been doing?

Well, I was in Roswel feeding you tasty intel on stolen mobile suits - you're welcome by the way - then I took an underground train to Area 51, blowing up things and shooting people, and no: you will NEVER have the clearance high enough to know more about that. Then I was in Kansas, blowing up things and shooting people, then I was Canada blowing up things and shooting people, and then I was in New York, where I didn't blow anything up or shoot anyone... well, apart from that one guy, but that was only in the leg, so it doesn't count. Then I was in Dublin blowing up people and shooting things for a change and now I'm back here."

"Pretty much what you;ve been doing, but with slightly less in the way of mushroom clouds. Slightly."

Will that be everything?

>>7411006
For our business with icognito yeah.

Go to dinner and get some food. I'm sure it's yummy.

Unless he has any juicy intel he has failed to mention, I think that will be all. To dinner, then.

Lets ask about Straus. We haven't heard about him in awhile, have we?

>>7411048
>>7411088

Didn't we just have dinner with Garma? I think its time for some Essay-writing, like the secret nerds that we are.

>>7411048
>>7411088

You bid the nameless spy a farewell and set things up for Icelina's dinner with Garma. You double check to make sure that this Icelina is the same one that Incog was talking about.

HOW IS THIS DINNER GOING TO BE SET UP?

>>7411195
It's Garma's date, isn't it? I figure we'll just stake out the place from the street, in case something bad happens and we're needed.

>>7411160
This. How's the old guy doing?

>>7411195

Long table. Icelina on one end, Garma on the Opposite. Several armed guards line the room, in ceremonial dress, but not armed with ceremonial weapons.

Each diner will have there own cruet set. Dinner will be escorted in by ourselves as to not be tampered with. We will proved Icelina with a list of appropriate dinner conversation.

Dinner will be tested for both parties before each course is to be eaten.

>>7411195
Oh god. Oh god, they didn't prepare us for this! Do the forks go on the left or the right? THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT?!?!?

Get the cooks started on dinner, though isn't this the kind of thing the household staff are supposed to be doing? I would think we'd just be waiting by the door in case something happened.

>>7411243

Just wanted to add that Jolyne and Zol will be in the kitchen supervising the cooks.

We're doing this by the book! Nothing gets by the watchful eye of Garma's guards!

>>7411268
>>7411275
Samefag as >>7411212, this sounds good to me.

>>7411212
She's coming to the mansion to eat with him.

I'd say just have Zol & ourselves present. Let the others have a night to relax.

>>7411275
Ruby and Shiro can watch them when they have sex tonight too.

That was a joke, but..you never no with one as suave as Garma....

>>7411243
Oh, FFS. This is the same thing the old farts had been doing with Garma, isolating him from everything and anything. Let the guy enjoy himself for a change. Something small and cozy, no frills.

Besides, the girl might get scared if we hit her with the full force of protocol right now, and I don't want a sulking prince in the squad.

Still keep an eye on the date spot, though. No need to be careless.

Also, see if we can't surprise the boss by getting some minstrel-types. String instruments preferably, maybe he already has some personal ones?

Ask Hovis, he's fucking classy.

>>7411302
>Ruby

I like it!

>>7411268

After enlisting the help of half of the Mansion staff you set up what looks to be a casual dinner date in a stately room.

Your team draw straws on who'd going to be standing guard, Ruubens and Hovis lose.

YOU HAVE A FREE EVENING WHAT DO YOU DO?

>>7411395
Hey cutie! Why do they call you ruby? Is it because you're a gem?

>No...it's short for Ruebbens.

Oh, is that your name?

>It was when I was a guy....

FUCKIN LOL

>>7411414
Make sure we go over the top, music, decor, etc. AT least supervising the people who have a clue about that.

Otherwise, write a bit, but keep an ear on things in case we're needed.

>>7411414
ESSAYS.

>>7411419
I like this too.

Dave/Ruubens fanfic incoming!

>>7411311
>>7411354

This. Candlelight dinner with violins in the background. That's how this sort of thing should go.

>>7411414

Find Strauss.

Brofist Strauss.

Goddamn, i've been reading this shit since the start, but I sorta got sidetracked by real life at the point we got the prototype gouf; which thread should I use to catch up?

Or can someone give me a quick recap?

>>7411567
There are some good reads, the last two definitely. Otherwise, we've just continued to be badass, new mobile armor, new pilot(s), and awards. We're Garma's personal body guard now, still testing new suits.

>>7411567
They're all archived, the Gouf was around part 12 or so I think.

>ESSAYS.

Aside from the one's you are already working on, Zimmad are asking for reports on the Dom's performance as well. Man, nobody ever talks about all of the paperwork in this job...

You finish up at around half ten, which is when Garma's dinner with Icelina finishes. You get the full report from Ruubens and Hovis.

Apparently the two are getting on well, and Icelina may have mentioned that she misses her home in New York.
They suspect Garma may suggest a trip to New York in the not too distant future.

Time to burn the midnight oil. Write our essays.

Then the rest of the glorious army of Zeon will fight just like Lt David Lister!

If I'm David Lister, who's Arnold J. Rimmer?

If anyone wants to watch some gundam animes, the livestream channel can be up for sure next week. Maybe later tonight. I actually have the first 6 episodes of MS IGLOO, but not the 3 newest ones, for those that might be interested in watching that.

for those who haven't seen it, its /zeonquest/old. Ill post later if'n I actually get around to showing stuff.

>They suspect Garma may suggest a trip to New York in the not too distant future.

It does belong to us, right? I mean...we could conquer it if he wants..but...

>>7408212
> Writing those essays on Peacekeeping and Combined Arms tactics in a post Minovsky+Mobile Suit world.

>>7411601
It will be steriotippically badly ritten and have them doing stuff the normally wouldnt.

In short, a parody of a fanfic.

>>7411601
>Go see Okawara or whatever his name is for a bit

About what exactly, the guy is still cleaning paintballs off your (and the other guys) mobile suits. Plus there's that refit request for Desert Zaku type heads that you filed...

>>7411787
We've already decided it will be called "The Mobile Suit in Attack"

>>7411754
Dooooooooo eeeeeeeeeet.

>>7411754

I've been looking to see Igloo.

Britfagia doesn't get anything remotely gundam related, it seems.

>>7411831
>>7411819

I had never seen it/heard of it till zeonquest, and i got ahold of it. I am about to go to dinner. After dinner, i will probably stream it.

>>7411793
Stare at Garma while he slee-

I mean..write essays... >.>

The only thing that irks me about Garma surviving is not being able to hear Gihren's kickass funeral speech.

I mean, sure, Zeon'll probably win without the collapse into infighting and power grabs, but that shit was so cash.

>We've already decided it will be called "The Mobile Suit in Attack"

>>7411871
Don't worry, I'm sure someone will die. We can't be everywhere.

>>7411914

Hopefully Ghiren.

Even if we have to do it ourselves.

>They suspect Garma may suggest a trip to New York in the not too distant future.

Seems like our meeting with the Red Comet draws closer. Can we deal with suddenly playing second fiddle?

>>7411940
I'm sorta hoping it's that Char guy. He seems like a bad person.

>>7411968

That won't be for a few months. Char's still in space at the moment.

So, do you still want to meet up with Okawara or go to bed?

>>7411969
That would be about the best case scenario....

>>7411993
May as well just go to bed, I don't think he wants us bothering him after the extra work we just gave him.

>>7411993
Bed is preferable, I'm sure we'll have a surprise tomorrow.

>>7411871
Fuck no, that speech made me angry as hell.

God damn I've missed most of the Zeonquest this entire weekend.

>>7411993
sleepytime

>>7411993
Sleep after we hand in the notes on the Dom's performance.

>>7411831

thats the problem with being a britfag, theres hardly any anime on TV in the first place. theres an anime channle, but being on virgin, i dont have that

>>7411969

char isnt BAD persay. his got some petty vengence issues that cause him to do some dodgy stuff.

second killing gehurn, mabby, if we can. tho we proberbly cant. his got his own guards, is pritty bad ass, and stays in space. we would need a lanch boster at least...

>>7412059
Seconding

>his got some petty vengence issues that cause him to do some dodgy stuff.

At least he did not kill the youngest Szabi, eh?

>>7412007

You go to bed.

The rest of the weeks activities are up to you to detirmine. The Dom needs more testing, Garma could do with more practice, as could Shiro.
Garma has Icelina's contact details so future dinners and rendezvouz may be on the cards. Then there's the essays and any special custom work on your Mobile Suits.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>7412188
WAKE UP AND TRAIN HARD. START WITH JOGGING FOR AEROBIC. RUN THE SHIT OUT OF YOUR TEAM.

>>7412188
Follow a routine of testing the Dom while getting Garma and Shiro up to snuff during the day, Garma has his meetings with Icelina whenever, do our essays in the evenings.

Continue training Garma on how to not be an idiot in combat. Continue working on our essays. Ask to keep updated on situations in the area. Some more out of suit work is a pretty fun time.

>>7412188
TRAINING MONTAGE

Also, essays in the evening. Also work on body-guard stuff outside our suits. Let's make Garma GAR and Shiro not small time.

>>7407935
Link us to One Week War Quest, also FUCK YEAR ZEONQUEST

>>7412188
wake prettyhair up bright and early for some ms practicee, i assume he's only piloted a zaku? if so, let him try zolo's gouf. it's good to be able to quickly get used to the different performances of suites etc...

>>7412222

also, get in at least one night time exerices.

>>7407935
LEGENDS OF THE HIDDEN TEMPLE

>>7412188
Day 1&2: Practice with Garma, essays in the evening.
Day 3&4: Dedicated Dom & Gouf testing (I'm assuming they want some info on the Gouf Zol's using), essays in the evening.
Day 5: Ask about getting those quad head-vulcans.
Day 6: Casual Friday, wear ridiculous sombrero. Make small talk and jokes with Ruubens
Day7: More training. Bet Garma was getting complacent since there hadn't been any in the past 4 days. Well you have to be ready to train and battle at any time!

I love how we're diligently working on something that's going to be fucking useless.

Hidlorf! ;_;

>>7412265
This.

Also, maybe talk with Garma about his strategy for the war, if it wouldn't be out of place. We are just soldiers, but still, we're pretty fucking Ace.

>>7412265
This.

>>7412188
Train with the team & Garma a lot. Tell him it may impress Icelina if need be. Also work on personal defense - a man should be able to protect his woman if need-be.

Test the Dom thoroughly as well, remembering to keep the dev team up-to-date.

Essays at night, before bed.

Ok, livestream will be going live momentarily for those interested.

>>7412353
What? I'm clueless.

Oh man, if the next post is a "Next time on Zeonquest" that's gonna suck.

>>7412265
seconded

>>7412402
FFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

That would suck.

>Day 1&2: Practice with Garma, essays in the evening.
>Day 3&4: Dedicated Dom & Gouf testing (I'm assuming they want some info on the Gouf Zol's using), essays in the evening.

They don't actually, the original prototype of the B type had it's testing done by one Ramba Ral.

>Day 5: Ask about getting those quad head-vulcans.

Double head vulcans actually, the Desert type has double vulcans. Garma's was a custom job, that occaisionally has jamming issues. The D type doesn't so much.

>Day 6: Casual Friday, wear ridiculous sombrero. Make small talk and jokes with Ruubens

>Day7: More training. Bet Garma was getting complacent since there hadn't been any in the past 4 days. Well you have to be ready to train and battle at any time!

Okay we'll do this, okay?

rolled 4, 3, 1 = 8

>>7412265
im finally here, i second this

rolled 1, 1, 1 = 3

>>7412436
sounds good...

sombreros ooh ya!!!

>>7412436
Yeah. Plus keep our ears open for news, and ask Garma about his strategy.

>>7412436
YES

>>7412436
I sorta wanted the 4 vulcans for MAXIMUM DAKKA, but going with ones that won't jam is probably for the best.

Dave Lister? Kryten, Rimmer. and Cat are missing. I expect this to be fixed, OP.

Is Zolomon still using his MS shotgun?

>>7412494
If I remember right, it was a one off joke from the first thread. OP asked for names, and David Lister was the only one suggested.

http://www.livestream.com/zeonquest/old

Get in here.

>Ramba Ral

Will we ever have him tell us that it's no Zaku?

Okay, just caught up.

Have realized that we are rapidly becoming the Quirky Miniboss Squad. To make things a little safer, I think we're going to need to consider eventually doubling the size of our unit by filling it up with redshirts as ablative armor for the rest of us. In the meantime, let's take the entire squad to Disneyland; suggest that Garma take Icelina there so that we have a good excuse.

Also, for the hell of it, we know that the Feddies are working on beam weaponry. Why don't we have a chat with Okawara about what to do if they suddenly start fielding it against us?

And I just realized: why not bring in Icelina on our planned essay on peacekeeping in occupied areas? She's already doing reconstruction work, so she's probably got useful experience. Plus it might get Garma interested in it as well, and making a Zabi be something other than kind of a bastard is a definite plus.

>>7412436

Day 1 and Day 2: Garma's getting used to early starts. He's also managed to make less suicidal charges, which means that you must be rubbing off on him more than Zol is.

Day 3 & 4: More testing out of the Dom. You've got no complaints with Giant Bazooka, the people who maintain the testing area might have though, it's got quite the punch behind it. The Head Sword looks silly, but it's actually pretty good. It IS a little bit flimsy though, Zol would probably hate it.
The Guy's from Zimmad seem to be taking all of your advice to heart.

Day 5: Okawara get's the last of the parts he needs and you spend the day doing your essay's whilst he refits the F2's and the K type with head vulcans.

Day 6: Casual Fridays go off well. Garma seems less casual than the rest of you, probably because this is his house and he spends half his time in his civvies about the place. He has another date with Icelina. Zolomon and Ruubens draw the short straws.
Everything ends with you all going down to a disco, you discover that Hovis can't dance, you aren't great either, but Zolomon is the LORD OF DISCO.

You're pretty sure he actually get's lucky.

Day 7: Training whilst nursing hangovers. Fun. Heavy use of the head vulcans doesn't help anyones headaches either. Zolomon's Gouf has also had some work done to it, it's hand vulcans have been replaced with a triple barrelled 35mm vulcan cannon on the forearm. The hand has been returned to normal. It's also sporting two heat axes.
Zolomon is now absolutely terrifying in close combat. The others soon learn to make good use of the head vulcans, practicing with Garma has taught them some of the basics of head vulcan use.

>>7412611
>Day 6

What happened to joking with Ruubens man? :(

>>7412436
This is us on Friday.

Also, I'm voting that as long as we're in California we use Zorro as our template for Garma 2.0

rolled 4, 3, 5 = 12

>>7412611
brofist garma for a job well done

I approve.

My god...what have we done?

>>7412611
How does the Heat Sword compare to our old Heat Saber from the Mirror Battle?

>>7412631
Yes, I was hoping for some casual development

Don't forget that Zolomon also has that shotgun.

Really though, we should talk with Garma about the Federation's proliferation of their own mobile suits, and how we've been finding intelligence on their beam weaponry.

WE'RE WITH THE LEADER OF THIS INVASION, let's make use of it.

>>7412655
>My god...what have we done?

Pray the world will not be cut in two

>>7412666
Also, tell Garma about the Newtype encounters. Zeon getting forewarning that there are also Newtypes on the Feddie side is probably good for us.

>>7412610
>In the meantime, let's take the entire squad to Disneyland

I have no idea why we should do this, but we should.

>>7412611
Damnit man, we can't make small talk with Ruubens if she's on duty!

>>7412655
I...I just thought of something.

Could we convince Zol to combine a Heat Hawk and a Heat Rod into a Heat Kusari-gama?

>>7412688
>>7412666
>WE'RE WITH THE LEADER OF THIS INVASION, let's make use of it.
Yes. This. THIS. A THOUSAND TIMES THIS.

>>7412666
Satan has a good point.

>>7412693
Hehe...she's on....du-ty...

>>7412666

You bring up the issues for the direction of the war, and the Federation and it's mobile suit efforts.

"Truthfully, I beleive that the longer this war continues, the worse our chances of winning become. But we do have two advantages, our tech level, and our experienced troops and pilots. The federation may eventually erode away our technological gap, but they cannot magic ace pilots out of thin air! But David, we the Principality of Zeon HAVE to win this war, if we don't then the billions of men, women and children whom this abomination have already consumed will have died for nothing, and words and hopes of Sum Deikum will have been for nothing. Thing will return to the same inequalities, to the same corruption as before and the lives lost this year will be forfeit. That is something I will not allow as long as I live."

He also brings up another topic.

"I also feel that perhaps enough time has passed to warrant another trip to the front. I was thinking somewhere a little quieter than last time, New York perhaps."

Bless his heart he's trying to be nochalant about it. You pretty much have to okay it, as long as the generals agree...

TO BE CONTINUED

>>7412747
Well, now that Garma's got a girlfriend, Ruubens is going to have to find somebody else to share her cockpit with.

>>7412765
That title... worries me.

>>7412765
>Broken Wings

Fuck

rolled 4, 1, 4 = 9

>>7412765
good session every one

>>7412765
ohfuck ohfuck ohfuck

>>7412765
Third date huh? Isn't that a little early to meet her parents? Oh well, it's their decision. Great session again, can't wait for next Friday!

>>7412765
>Broken Wings
I have a feeling I'm not going to like this. We BETTER get a feel of Garma's hair before one of us dies a heroic death.

>>7412780

seconded. i hope the cocky basterd dosent get in over his head.

>>7412765
TAKE

THESE BROKEN WINGS

>>7412993
And let me fly again

>>7412993
And learn to fly?

You were always waiting for this moment to arrive.

>>7412765

So how long do I have to wait for the next one?

>>7413089
Next Friday.

>>7413089
The 8th.

We'll wait for you Elaine.

You know, perhaps we should try recommending to Garma that Zeonic forces start getting a stable defensive line ready, a la the Hindenberg line in WWI. Just before the Feddies begin their inevitable counteroffensive, Zeon pulls back to lines that are actually defensible with its available resources, evacuating or destroying anything of possible use to the Feddies as they do it.
