35 minutes ago our satellite surveillance team spotted explosions and large columns of smoke erupting from the building housing Nerv-Vancouver's Magi Supercomputer. This building is also where EVA unit 07 is located.

>>46816331
More EVAs means more pilots means more physiological issues. I'd rather we have bigger guns for our EVAs

Also it's 5am. While I can't really justify why I've stayed up this late to begin with, at least I can complain that I'll be staying up longer.

>>46816461
It's 3AM over here. I just went to bed early and set an alarm for about now.

Would probably be even easier if it was 5AM.

>>46816364
what units have we sent to Vancouver?

I spent a week labouriously checking the twitter and catalog you monster

>>46816364
Didn't one of our bombers have a howitzer? Those usually have an IR scope with magnification. Let's use it and recon the Nerv-Vancouver's site.

Same here.
I feared the worst.

>>46816098
So, what's the plan so far.

I remember we were on a tight timeclock, with our own MAGI system being co-opted.

What forces do we have available near Vancouver?

How long do we have until Ophelia is 0wn3d?

Who's our Ritsuko clone, and are they hard at work bodging up a solution to keep Ophelia online?

What resources do we have available on Montreal if another angel decides now would be a good time to attack?

How are we going getting Florence out of the I-i-i-m only restraining you because that's what m-m-my chemical configuration does! It's not like I WANT to hold you or anything ... you BAKAlite?

Basically I'm asking for Sitrep.

Yes I know in-universe it's probably only been 2 minutes. Major's mind works in strange ways.

We don't know. Power is still out throughout Vancouver and it's neighbouring towns. U.N. Forces are hard at work evacuating the outside perimeter of the city, but... [She looks away]

This will be a costly battle, Major. We will have to battle inside in fully populated city.

Our bomber wings will drop EVA Unit 02 at this drop point. Our MAGI estimated that this would be the safest location.

Are are our orders:
-Investigate the MAGI Supercomputer Facility
-Secure Evangelion Unit 07
-Secure Evangelion Unit 08

We also got some ''recommendations'' from the U.N. Higher ups:
-Research Facility A must under no circumstances suffer damage of any kind.
-The 38th Fighter Squadron ''Marauders'' are currently landed at Vancouver's airbase. We are to contact and assist them in any way we can.

>>46816657
Might as well hit up the HQ first. Try and raise the airbase on the radio.

>>46816698
Indeed. It's the closest target point.

Still, let's try and play nice for the U.N. on this one.

>>46816728
If the research station gets fucked up, we'll just say it was like that when we got there. Or the citizens of Vancouver broke it during a recent hockey riot.

Get this man a posthumous promotion after we execute him.

>>46816657
Why don't we head south from the drop point so we come at the MAGI facility from the east?
It'll give us some time to hail the airbase via comms, get aerial recon, and keep 02 from being at the center of all of the UN/Vancouver sites at once.

Our VTOLs are racing against the clock to reach vancouver in time, refuelling along the way. ACE will be there in 45 minutes since it's the one squadron with the most powerful engines. I'd say the rest will be there in one and a half hour.

>>46816657

And I know those 38th Squadron guys. Total assholes, don't bother with them.

>>46816887
I wanna know how the heck Rachel managed to survive those scars, particularly the one above her nose.
That's an EXIT wound. Anything causing that injury will fill your sinuses with blood and choke you. You'll be bleeding down your windpipe, at a damn high rate. That's lethal unless you've got a doctor on site within minutes to intubate.

>>46816887
Wasn't Rachel's surname Davies?
Did she marry while we weren't looking?

Still, let's try to reach 38th Squadron on radio. They may have valuable intel.

>>46816887
Sorry Rachel, you know how it is. Cooperating with the U.N. is our best shot for additional resources.

We'll prioritize the main mission of course, but consider the "recommendations" as secondary objectives.

>>46816958
Maybe she ended up upside down so the blood dripped out?
Would it help?

>>46816994
Actually yes that would work. I didn't think of it but that would work.
Would also keep the person conscious due to the bloodflow to the brain, too

I first saw these threads last week, and it was fucking awesome. Read through all the archived ones.

Wanna help make "Just-different-enough-from-NERV-so-that-Anno-doesnt-sue-us Bridge Sim: Vidya Gaem Edition"? If you're cool with it, I can throw some of the portraits from the thread into the horrific 2D interface I have (it was originally a mobile game, but I think it'd be better if there was a full 3D bridge now) so you can see the basic gameplay. Only rudimentary combat is visible at this point, no interface done for everything else, ie upgrades, between-battle story, though there is code for that lurking around.

Major. We are almost in position to drop Eva Unit 02. She will have 5 minutes of internal power to connect with an umbilical cord.

I am closely follower by Hermit and Temperance. Hermit does not have a full Bakelite ordinance, instead it was equipped with additional Eva Weapons in the event that on-site procurement wouldn't be possible.

Do you want to talk to the Second Child before her deployment?

>>46816887
ACE will play conservative, staying close to support 02 until the other wings arrive. Depending on if we get contact with the Marauders that will change-I don't want the Marauders behind our guys though. Do you know if they had access to any N2 mines, I don't want another surprise deployment.

Where the hell do you think you are?

It doesn't take anything for people to die in this quest.

>>46817435
Yes, but you don't have to care so strongly about these characters. They're fictional, anon.
If you wanted, you could write your own fanfic (of a fanfic) wherein everyone survives and gets a happy ending.
There is literally no need to care so strongly about the lives of fictional characters, since you can outright CREATE a better life for them if you so choose, or others can outright create a worse life for them.

You being invested in this quest is mostly sunk cost fallacy - you think these characters are important, because OTHER people think they are important.
People who get deep into sunk cost fallacy are very easily trolled.

Dead civilians.
Don't worry about it. There'll be civilian casualties here. So long as you aren't actively TRYING to cause collateral damage, you're doing well enough, and the civilian deaths will be acceptable.

//Years of playing UFO: Enemy Unknown, Atom Zombie Smasher, and Age of Empires have taught me to not care about "acceptable losses"

>>46817489
Short hair a cute. CUTE!

>>46817489
I can't even remember the last time you made an error. Don't worry about it, you always do just fine.

And besides, the situation is already pretty dangerous here. If you don't do ANYTHING, I think a lot of people are going to die anyway. The tiniest mistake is worth it if you can save this entire city in the end.

>>46817533
Amusingly, I'm not.
I consider it a fun bonus but it's never the primary point.
Why do people get butthurt, anyway? It doesn't help them, it doesn't help anyone else. It seems to have no productive purpose whatsoever.

>>46817489
Don't worry, we both know that you're capable of this.

Keep your cool out there and you'll be fine.

>>46817489
Well, imagine if you weren't here, and how many civilian casualties we'd have if we had to defend Montreal without our MAGI system operational. We might even get a Third Impact.
Just by being here, you're minimising civilian casualties.

>>46817489
I'm your mission control, Anne. As long as you follow my orders, any error that happens will be mine, not yours. Just keep calm and concentrate.

>>46817653
> As long as you follow my orders, any error that happens will be mine, not yours.

You do realise that she's just gonna worry twice as hard, because we bark conflicting orders harder than a Korean doing Mutalisk Micro.
And our orders tend to contain error. A lot of error.

Maj. Anon is what happens when you wanted to make a gestalt or a hivemind out of tacticians, but there were budget cuts, so you just shoved in the tabletop wargamers since fuck it they know basic tactics.

It's a miracle we were able to get the Major to shave and shower. Apparently we can override his natural tendencies if we get him "off screen".

>>46820347
HERMIT, Prepare Bakelite payload immediatly. If Unit 07 act aggressively, consider it as a valid target. You must stop it before it can do any damage to Unit 02.

>>46820460
I'm going to assume that if we can somehow shut down their HQ, the angel will probably go with it.

Monitor the communications systems of that thing and cut Anna's connection to the channel. If there's a pilot in there and he starts screaming, I don't want Anna to know about it. Let her kill the poor kid without any guilt if it comes down to that.

How realistic a plan would be luring it out of populated area (at least out of densely populated area) and blasting it to bits?

Would Cegremo consider for an Iconic Field Quest in the future?

Bakelite it, howitzer it, then send in the EVA to forcibly remove limbs.


Under no circumstances tell the pilot that there could be a kid in there. We all know how well that worked last time.

>>46820808

>>46820780

Is it really a good idea? If we still have some time and we can pay a visit to other places, we may be able to better assess the situation. And who know, find some usefull things against the Angel?

>>46820732
Wait...does Anna have any weapons at all? Have some bombers divert to this *thing*. I want a screen of fire to overwhelm it for a moment, then Anna should get her weapons and light him up. If it has any tricks, open a salvo one last time, then fuck off to destroying the static weapons.

>Also OP you should run a Shinji & 40k Quest. Just a one-shot, to appease the anti-quest fags.

>>46820930
she's the only unit out there. being equiped with only a sniper would be a problem.

>>46820902
Look, action speaks louder than words. She has her fists, so it should be enough. Have the bombers spray it with bakelite and bombs, then drop Anna her weapon. EVA shotgun when?

>>46820732
we thankfully have bakelite rounds. but i dunno we have no idea if this is the "Core" of the 7th angel.

I dread to think of this thing as a combination of Bardiel and Iruel.

Let's see the other facilities and hope to god the Angel doesn't engage.

Does Anna neccesarily need to go there or can we have the conventional units head there?

Can Anna just standby near the angel, and can we have the conventional units check on the facilities?

>>46821063
Well, if the Angel didn't spot our EVA unit, I see no reason to attack it directly. Nerv-MTL isn't in direct danger and we shouldn't risk our only ground unit in a gamble.

EVA 07 is not necessary the angel's core.

>>46821038
It has no AT field, it probably isn't the core.
But the, report says it "appears to be growing" so if left unchecked now, it might be more trouble later...

>>46821063
see MAGI first

>>46821063
check the other facilities first if the Angel doesn't engage but make sure to keep eyes on the EVA.

>>46821063
Look mates, we don't know the capabilities of what we've seen. Let's fight the Angel first, then let the bombers harry it when we know what we're facing. Alternatively, just bomb it then let's get to the MAGI facility. We might get more weapons. Preferably a chainsword. Or let's use our prog-knife.

First of all we spotted two additional live Weapon Systems. Unlike the first one, these do not possess Ground-to-Air capabilities.

There is a very strong A.T. Field surrounding HQ. Its strength is off the charts, much stronger than anything we've seen before. It's messing with our sensors in a very effective way too, as if it was designed to.

We couldn't get clear pictures of what is down there, but we're sure of one thing : there's no one. No sign of where they're gone too.

>>46821635
Well shit, guess the air assets are out. Might want to get Anna to run straight to the airbase and scream at them, so they can take out the static emplacements from inside the AT field.

>>46821635
>Unit 07 has flesh pouring out from its armor
>nobody visibly left alive
The part of my brain that makes wild assumptions is having a disturbing thought.

>>46821635
Thank you CBW. Get me a run on those static positions, I don't want anymore complications on this missions than neccesary.

Anna, if you can hear me, your objective has changed. Find a weak point in that AT Field and head into the HQ.

We need you to disable any systems that may have been corrupted by that angel.

Anyone, do we have any world on the CDF forces? I thought they were gonna support us on this one.

>>46821701
You mean the thing that happened to Eileen on much bigger scale?

>>46821635
should we make a unit run to Unit 8's cage to check for equipment while Anna circles around to the first research facility.

>>46821701
it has gone the way of the Master.

>>46821731
Yes. We should also try to contact the UN forces in the Airbase to see what they are up to.

I think it could be a good idea if we paid a visit to Research facility A. It sounded like U.N. forces knew something valuable was in it. It could be some kind of big gun.

>>46821635
Not good, not good at all.
Going straight to the HQ is out of question, it would notify Unit 07.
We can encircle and approach the base from South, seems shortest.
But we could encircle from Noth-West and maybe get some support from the Airbase.

Anothe big question is whether Unit 08 is on the loose as well, and if so, where the hell it is.

>>46821795
>>46821788
agreed we need more info and more forces for backup. Get the UN out here because Vancouver's population probably got assimilated.

Turn on the EVAs loudspeaker and play the file marked "DangerZone.mp3" at max volume. Dont worry, its there. The guys at the airbase will know what to do.

>>46821635
Temperance and Hermit, circle north and start dismantling those static defenses. Hermit, take a peek at the research facility and maintain air sensor coverage. I'm thinking that whatever's stolen EVA-7 might've hit EVA-8 and the airbase as well.

>>46821701
I'm thinking what you're thinking.

>>46821731
Let's assume they're all dead and hope they pleasantly surprise us.

Research Facility A is right in the heart of downtown - tight quarters and plenty of skyscrapers. Headquarters and the central static defense is in the middle of suburban Burnaby - precious little cover for EVA-scale units, 3-story low-rises at best. If my reckoning is correct, however, there ought to be a large ridge overlooking HQ around the position of the central SWS. The second SWS is out near UBC, likely concealed in the forest, while the Airbase appears to be YVR proper.

The CDF are saying that they evacuated all they could. Until a certain point there's no one. They also say they've got alarming reports of units disappearing when heading into the city.

Huh... Major? Some units are reporting ''a strange liquid'' filling the street. This isn't good.

>>46821920
FUCK

Activate Ghostbusters 2 protocols

Collateral damage is no longer a thing

>>46821920
Definitely the thing that happened to Eileen.
The good news is that based on our limited experience it should be reversible.
The bad news is people at the Airbase are useless to us, if they get any closer to the AT field we will lose them as well.

>>46821920
Oh god...I think we know what happened to the people...

Get a call out to them, no one else goes into that city without our go ahead.

Anna, proceed with caution. This one's AT field is LCLing anything that gets close.

>>46821920
Have Anna take out the remaining automated defenses. Then bomb the whole area. N2 mines. No chances.

Tell Anna to engage only from range and keep her distance from any hostiles. Avoid contact with any fluids.

>>46821920
fuck it, just start blowing Vancouver up right now. Bomb it to hell, the city should now be considered infected and the HQ completely compromised and hostile

>>46822008
The statics that are left are just ground to ground, so we probably should let the air units take care of it. We have at least one corrupted EVA out there, probably another, and we've already taken a few hits from those rockets.

>>46821920
Lets take the reasonable solution and bomb the hell out of that place

>>46821701
Well, EVAs ARE biological in nature. It's more likely that the EVA itself is injured

>>46822051
>we probably should let the air units take care of it
Northern defense should be no problem, but fly-by on the central one might liquify the pilots. We don't know how high is reach of the field.

>>46821635
Might be worth checking out Unit 08's cage to see if there's anything interesting to salvage before we send the place to hell.

>>46821920
Let's NOT just start blindly bombing the place. Even with people gone, there's still lot to salvage. We need more intel.

>>46822102
Plus the AT field might deflect the shots. Get them to clean up just the north one for now.

So basically the angel went The Thing on Vancouver, but as Tang?

So that deserted stretch where they made the swanky new sprawling Chinatown but still not cramped, in Richmond is where the EVA-08 cage is?

Last I remember Richmond was mostly deserted lots and undeveloped patches with the occassional mall out of nowhere.

>>46822152
Howitzer UBC.

>>46822191
Standby on that command. Do not initiate yet.

Has Florence been fished out of that bakelite yet? We need every unit on the ground immediately, we're losing time as is.

>>46822152
EVA-07 seems to be camped out in the Coquitlam suburbs. If we've got the time, I'd recommend EVA-02 proceeds directly south across the bridge and circles around to the Alex Fraser bridge, proceeding to VNC-HQ from there.

>>46822234
The Fraser River ought to be fordable, if EVAs are waterproof enough to wade across 'nam-style.


>>46822287
Florence is here in MTL. Even at Concord speeds, she's hours away. Unless we can procure reinforcements on-site, this is all we've got.

>>46822191
Does Toronto have a MAGI? Can't they help us on that?

Else, we should prepare an emergency shutdown of MAGI before we loose the control.

>>46822287
We'd need a mass driver to get an EVA across Canada in under 20 minutes. Anna's on her own for this one.

>>46822191
Do not start emergency self-destruct protocols.

We need to distract EVA unit 07, I suggest we begin a limited bombing run just north of it's location to lure it away. Send unit 2 immediately to the MAGI facility. We cannot afford to lose OPHELIA.

Try and stay on the near bank. There's a few apartment buildings just before the river fork that can give you cover against that SWS.

It could disrupt the AT field.

New orders Anna, proceed to Unit 08's cage and extract him.

>>46822934
ANNA, get to Unit 08's cage immediately to see if the pilot is still alive, all bomber drop loads on Vancouver immediately.

>>46822934
Okay, so Vancouver is lost, their MAGI got infiltrated by an Angel in virus form. Now it's an aberration of growing flesh, probably that liquid stuff in the streets.

Sixth child is good to go inside EVA unit 08, still in it's cage.

I don't quite get the final line.

>>46822934
Inform the CDF and UN forces of the recording as well, see if we can't get some cruise missile lobbed at Vancouver.

>>46822934
Oh boy this is like audio-logs in System Shock 2 all over again.

>>46822934
Update High Command as well that the Research Facility will most likely not survive, either by N2 or Angel growth.

Unless of course they can tell us what it is and why it must survive.

Initiate OPERATION: THUNDERSTRUCK

Vancouver is lost then. Anna, get to Unit08s location, get that EVA out of there.

Bombers, get me a goddamn firing solution on Vancouver's HQ, level the area and give the EVA's a door to attack the underground.

Level this city before it's to late. This will be my final advice.

Shit ... There must be another way!

I don't think there is much we can do at this point Major.

The best we can do is get Unit-08 and whatever other small assets we can out of here before they drop the bomb on Vancouver.

>>46823087
She's already dead, if we had more than one EVA maybe.

I don't think Anna could both resist the Growth in the core and a rogue EVA at the same time.

//Taking me offline would leave us blind and vulnerable. It would also mean that we would lose contact with our forces. If this is a risk you're willing to take, I can begin the procedure.

Commencing bombing run. Let's get this over with.

>>46823087
Our single EVA is already damaged and has no AT field, we're pretty fucked at this point. Its time to turn Canada's premier skiing city into a smoking hell.

Can't we only break the ennemy A.T. Field with N2 mines and then try to fight our way to MAGI?

What's inside Research facility A, could the 38th squadron bring it to us with their towing ropes?

N2 mines were supposed to be our wildcard, not our solution!

>>46823175

Standby procedures for it. Should complete takeover be imminent, execute it.

Any chance of setting up supplementary channels of communication?

CBW for the love of all that is good and sugoi in this world, PLEASE do not bomb near the Evas this time!
