Hope people notice you moved

>>572315
Right then. Hope we can load up those mantas with some smoke bombs, flash ombs, and the like, because making it so she can't see us or go right at us will be a god send.

Her speed is going to be rediculous if she can keep up with us on Mantas, so using them as a buffer or means to ram her might be a option(they could take a few sniper shots so they are rather sturdy.). In the end though, we just have to hope we take out a leg and withdraw with the ship. Killing her is secondary to everyone getting out alive and returning to base fast in case of a two prong strike.

Lieutenant Asphodel, busy supervising his five underlings in readying their mecha for immediate launch, looks suspiciously at the three of you as you approach in your pilot suits. but is initially preoccupied with the regulation preflight checks. When he does finally acknowledge you, it's with his back turned and his shoulders rigid, “What do you want? I've got a lot to think about and not much time to spare on you.” He still has a black eye, presumably from Simon.

You're not in space, but you do up the flight seals anyway. It's practically habit by now. Your helmet is tucked under your arm, smooth and rounded but still quite suitable for clubbing Asphodel unconscious. There are a million sarcastic things you could say to this prissy blonde asshole, but now isn't the time or place and Garret reminds you of it by a stiff elbow to the ribs. Simon is as tense as a fishing line with a Paladin-sized lunker on the hook, but Jove bless him, he's keeping it together for now. Garret's heels click together sharply, and he salutes, “This is a special operation, sir, it's appropriate for SOUL C to accompany you. If you'll have us.”

[Continued]

>>572340

Mantas have a rocket launcher as part of their standard equipment, and although the Manta itself is pretty new it's already become commonplace to load them up with smoke, chaff, and flash rockets because the mecha riding them is likely carrying the heavier ordnance.

>>572335

I'd be more worried about that if it hadn't been a blanket exodus of all quests to /qst/.

>>572341

Yep, they're probably looking at the archives going "who the fuck are Clemmy and Fatima?"

Asphodel fixes him with pale blue eyes and is clearly on the verge of a withering rebuttal until he hears the last sentence. Garret nudges you again, with a bit more force, and you and Simon both salute. “We volunteered, sir. That Paladin owes the Cicero blood.” The Sergeant insists.

A complex cocktail of emotions wash over Asphodel's face, but the end result surprises you more than any flash of anger or sulky refusal you'd imagined. Hell, the way you'd envisioned it going, Captain Clearwater would have to force him into taking the three of you along. He salutes back, smiles a little, and lowers his hand, “At ease, SOUL C.” He pauses, then adds, in a less formal voice, “You know...we probably aren't coming back from this, right? I'd think that you, at least, would be able to get some kind of exemption.”

Garret squares his shoulders, “We're all soldiers, sir. None of us signed up to sit this war out. Besides, you'd think the Asphodel banking clan would be trying to get you an exemption too. I don't give a damn who my father is, we have comrades dying out there.”

The Lieutenant's smile acquires a bitter edge, “They already tried. I don't have a penny waiting for me back home anymore, that was the cost of doing my duty. As far as my family is concerned, I'm already dead.” He shakes his head brusquely, “I guess your unit isn't just for show after all.” He clears his throat, then surprises you again, extending his hand. He gives each of you a firm handshake in turn, “It's been an honor serving with you gentlemen, I only wish I'd realized it sooner. You're a tough bunch. Corporal, if that rifle of yours works as well as it did during your last mission, you're welcome to feed me my own boots anytime. Mount up, let's burn sky.”

This would require them to be aware that characters named Clemmy and Fatima are present in this story, which has not yet been apparent to them up till now.

We can do this anons, we've beaten the odds plenty of times before. But no matter what we have to make sure Garma makes it out of here alive and free no matter what we have to do

>>572341
Well, he's betrayed his fanbase already, so he might as well fuck things up for the newbies, complete the set.

>>572392
You realise if he betrayed us it would be not running the quest any more and not telling us?

>>572366
Good, then I suggest preparations of Operation 'Fuck that noise'. Simply put, Flash grenade to face to blind her, then dropping every heavy missile we have and sniper as well. Snipers first to waste the active shield's auto block. Then we use some smoke clouds to hide behind and disperse our formation as to avoid possible AOEs. If she approaches someone, use the manta as a shield. If it seems like she'll end ya next turn, activate self destruct and ram her with the manta if possible. Be sure to bail. We win if we escape or she flees, so that should be our priority.

As you ride the liftwire up to the cockpit of your Pumpkinseed II, while the technicians prep your Manta, you spot Irina watching you from the upper balcony of the bay. There are too many people around for her to give you a proper goodbye, but your eyes meet, and she gives you a subtle wave and clearly forces herself to smile. She looks like she's been crying. Marilyn, too, isn't her usual cheerful self, her ears drooping low and her tail hanging around her ankles. You feel an invisible hand squeeze your stomach as you wonder if this is the last time you'll ever see them. For luck, you each make your mech salute in unison, and solemnly intone, “Justice and peace.” If it worked for Bluegill Joe, it might keep you lot alive too. Squad by squad, your nine mecha and their Mantas take to the launching catapults, and from there into the sky.

The rain falls in silvery curtains across the emerald fields and thick woods of Qu'lir. The air itself seems a dull, leaden grey, dark and dismal save for where nine clusters of light break through the gloom. Pale cones of light sweep slowly through the air, the spotlights of your three squads scanning constantly for signs of another ambush. There's silence over the comms, with a bit of terse chatter. The Mantas can clock around 634 KPH at full pursuit speed, but beneath these swirling clouds and the tenebrous light, it almost feels as though you're flying in place, only the glimpses of farms and woodlands passing by underneath you giving any sense of progress.

“Hey, Corporal.” Asphodel's voice sounds subdued as he hails you from the nose of your arrowhead formation.

“Yeah, Lieutenant?” You answer, scanning your instruments for any sign of the Paladin.

“If you get angry at me for saying this, I'll understand, but...be careful with her.” His snow-white Pumpkinseed II, with somewhat elaborate golden trim, stands out next to its two standard squadmates and the trio of Bucephalus Palomino IIs making up the third squad, “There are things you don't know about Irina Gaunt.”

“I know enough.” You answer shortly. You don't have time for this bullshit right now, you were just starting to lose interest in breaking the Lieutenant's teeth with the butt of your sidearm and you don't want to spoil the good mood.

“I thought you'd say that. I don't want to ruin whatever you've got going on, but she's the sort of person to do what she wants and apologize for it later. Her sister was, at least, and people died for it. Damn it, it's not my place to tell you this, but this antipathy she has for the Bull of Io is pretty personal, and it involves family. It's your own business if she burns you, but if she burns the Cicero, I've got friends who'll suffer for it. It's unheard of even for SOUL for a Bahamutcorp rep to have the kind of authority she does, there are communications she gets from the Solar System so classified that even Captain Clearwater isn't allowed to be in the room when she's decrypting them.” For once, he sounds hesitant, and strangely sincere.

“What are you saying?” You're not sure how to feel about this. Yesterday you would have flipped his Manta for talking about Irina like that, but...there is a strange intensity to her sometimes, and he sounds like he's saying this out of obligation rather than spite. For that matter, Irina doesn't defer to Marilyn the way even the Bahamutcorp technicians who openly resented having to work under a Bucephalus mechanic deferred to Triple-C on the Cincinnatus, your old posting. Not for the first time, you wonder why she was so intent on keeping you out of her garden.

“I don't know, I don't know anything concrete, that's the problem. Just be careful and keep your eyes open. More people than just your squad are depending on it.” He mutters.

>>572463
Well, 12 cp worth of thrusters is 12 thrusters, so be sure to put those somewhere. Don't know what you mean by vernier; the vernier system that adds a cost? Might want to jot that down and put a final cost just in case. Something I have done when making the Cardinal, Rook, Roc, and Delphinus is to do a sort of sub total at each step so I know where I am at. Helps me when I need to alter the design due to a mistake.

Ooh, sweet now all the quests I followed have showed up here, nice to see ya wong, mostly gonna lurk on my phone though.

How come we haven't gotten any ip for intimidate?

Lets see how the dice are feeling tonight?

>>572463
7.5 tons seems a little restrictive in terms of weaponry, since you'll only be able to mount 1 shield and 1 weapon, unless you take the really light ones which generally don't deal much damage.

In terms of signature weapons, a Wide-Angle beam weapon would probably be fun, as would a dedicated Shock weapon. I'm not sure you'd have CP to make either of them effective, though.

Perhaps an Energy Pool-based variant instead?

>>572501
I see the dice still love you thunder.

>>572501
really thunder? even here?

>>572491

It's interesting that this is one of the few mecha where I haven't had to wholesale rip the verniers or most of the Weight Efficiency from their original stats. As stated earlier, when presented with a mech that has significant vernier use, I generally rip that part out and ignore it, because the technology to to achieve that level of MV reduction through additional mobility doesn't yet exist. The Rocs, for instance, and the Cardinal have had this done to them. Reducing it to -3 from -4 is fine...but it would still constitute a VERY advanced mech. Keep in mind that the Archen's claim to fame is that it's a Heavy Striker that moves like a Pumpkinseed.

>>572503
It is doable. An active shield and one ace weapon would be just at par for gear. Of course, you could go for simple fair, like an active and a swath of generic weaponry. ACE weapons seem to be just that. Specialized weapons designed for a specialist.

>>572534
Well we've got hiro on a /tg/ thread discussing /tg/ moderation and regulations.

Theres arguments on allowing quests back on /tg/ right now.

>>572515
Yeah, not going to lie, I do go maneuver crazy when designing mechs. I have been planning a ultra heavy called the Trojan that would require a lot of stuff to move. Specifically command armor with enough dedicated thrusters to get it to 8 MA. Of course, it will still have the giant ball and chain. Might split it in two and weapon link it.

Caught up just as the last thread wrapped up and have been itching for a new thread since. Glad to you up and running Wong, despite the push to /qst/.

>>572553
Nice to see new blood, tell me anon Who is best girl?

>>572534

I'm more worried about the board health of /tg/. /a/ and /m/ thrive because they have a healthy concentration of shitposts. /tg/ relies on shitposts more than either of them for good content because of the whole "let's go offtopic and make something cool out of this" paradigm, but when any thread that could remotely trigger someone is deleted that can't happen. We all saw what happened to /co/ when a mod got an agenda, we just have to hope the same doesn't happen to /tg/.

>>572535
But can they fire sword beams?

>>572558
Asking the tough questions Thunder. They all honestly have something to love about them, but if I'm forced to pick, Sam.

>>572546

Interesting.

Doubt much will come of it though.

Besides it's not like I hate the qst board itself, I just hate the goddamn way they forced everyone onto it like a concentration camp.

>>572547

That's because reducing that penalty is the logical thing to do when designing a mech. It's just that, for the sake of balance, the tech level in this game isn't quite there. The one mech that canonically has a MV of -1 is exceptional and rather small.

>>572532
Care to share your notes with the rest of the class?

>>572569
That answer is acceptable

>>572579
Not just yet, I'm sure you can figure it out

>>572574
It's Stern's mech, isn't it?

>>572546

My only thought is that /tg/ needs less moderation if quests are going to stay on /qst/, to ensure it doesn't become one of the extremely low-traffic boards. I understand the FBI moderates /b/ now, but we don't need their interns modding elsewhere when we have our own autists to do the job.

>>572566

Oh my~

>>572535
I wad thinking a cool down mega attack that has the sheath use explosives or gauss systems to draw the sword extra quick for more damage. Oda would blow all his luck on it like he does with missles

>>572573
Same. I think /qst/ is a flawed but workable place but quests still should also be allowed to be posted on /tg/ as well.

Right now its embroiled in ye olde Questfag vs AntiQuestfag shit right now.

>>572583

I'll just say that you've seen it already and noted that it was clearly a modified Bluegill

You reply with a grunt, and are spared from having to decide what to say in response by Garret's interruption.

“Cassim's Folly spotted, dead ahead. It's moving at a crawl though, barely a quarter of full speed, otherwise we would have run into it sooner. Reading ten small mecha and one large one...scratch that, nine small mecha. Holy Minerva, did one of them just ram her!?” There's a pause, and you hear the familiar sound of Garret hitting his ASP monitor with his fist. He subscribes to the theory of percussive force to deal with recalcitrant equipment, “There's some kind of weird interference, I got an electromagnetic signal across an entire swathe of airspace, this can't be right.”

“Some kind of jamming signal, perhaps?” Suggests a girl's voice from one of the Palominos. You vaguely remember a dark-haired girl...not the one who's been stalking you...with a headband and a sergeant's uniform. She looked young, cute, and peppy, but you never really talked to her. You're guessing she's the leader of the third squad.

That, my friend is the Dynamic General Guardian aka Dyzengar, piloted by Zengar Zombolt, the sword that smites evil. The machine normally DOES have weapons like dual lasers in the shoulders and rocket fists, but due to the situation of it's launch, Zengar went 'screw that, give me my old mech's sword' and just went manual with it's controls. He'd probably one of the strongest SRW OG characters. Man loves his swords to the point his FISHING rod has a sword handle.

>>572641

Irina is a Bahamutcorp employee. Mecha named after fish = Bahamut, mecha named after horses = Bucephalus, that's the easy way to tell.

SOUL A's mecha are all named after fish because the Bahamutcorp technicians on the Cincinnatus, who were the vast majority, didn't want to work under Triple-C, a Bucephalus technician, so he let them name the first three SOUL mecha (Betta, Swordtail, Fugu/Puffer) their way and had his name officially taken off the list of designers. Then Fairchild got more involved with the project, and brought more Bucephalus technicians with her, and they absofuckinglutely refused to touch SOUL B's projects unless they stopped naming them after fish. The Bahamutcorp techs, in turn, refused to work on any mech named after a horse, so as a compromise all of the SOUL B mecha have neutral names picked by committee (S-Slayer, S-Slinger, S-Stiletto). Except that Clemmy insisted on calling the S-Stiletto by its original project name of S-Flowerhorn and nobody could convince her otherwise.

>>572664
Clemmy was my first guess, but I don't recall her talking about any family of hers

So I've got a question about warping and how it interacts with stealth systems, particularly the Betta's seeing as we have the ASP to deal with low level cloaking.

Is it reasonable to think that Roarke, Avi, or Sam would have made the connection that when a warp gate is open the Betta's cloaking goes on the fritz? And is it possible to put Karen, Cornelius, or even Clancy on researching that and how to possibly reproduce the effect to disrupt cloaks? I have a feeling the Betta won't be the only mech we interact with that has advanced cloaking and stealth.

>>572695
Yes i know, my good man. Someone in this thread who knows not of REAL MEN RIDE EACH OTHER should go and play srw immediately.

>>572698
No but your getting closer, although this could all just be a red herring

>>572726
Looks great anon, contrasts very well with Bahamut

>>572692
Give Miles a bigger, longer range gun than Jesus has just to fuck with him.

Give Richard an RCS to control long-range Stealthed missile drones.

>>572723
The only other person I can think of is Lori, and that would mean you're implying she's a mole

>>572726
I spent 35 minutes cleaning water marks before I realized that because the base image is black and white I just needed to up the contrast. I also tried splashing red or orange or yellow, but it looked hella goofy.

>>572692
One I was thinking of is a two seater machine with a built in heavy sniper cannon. Richard handles those who get close while Miles lines the shot and fires. It'd be a heavier machine, but damned if it wouldn't be a sight to see.

>>572735
They need better base mechs though, they're only using Master Harpies

>>572740

“No way! That's not how those work.” Simon protests, “If his sensors were really being jammed, he should be getting more than just interference.”

She giggles, “So you're the smart one, huh? I like that. Keep your chin up, rookie. With hard work and a l'il guts, you'll make a fine pilot in no time.”

“T-t-thanks.” Simon stutters a little on the reply. Between him and Caesar, it's hard to tell who handles girls more poorly.

“Save it, both of you. Do you WANT bad luck?” Asphodel snaps, “Spread out, make sure all three squads can cover each other at range. My squad, we'll take the left. On my mark, deploy your right-arm emergency missiles, we'll draw the bitch's fire. Remember, she ate three microfusion reactor explosions at point-blank range without hindering operational effectiveness, whatever those shields are they're no joke. Sergeant Nedermeyer's squad, take the right, as soon as her back is directly to you and she can't block with them as effectively, open up with your missile pods, I want you to put so much shit in the sky we don't need to deploy our smoke rockets. Sergeant Luxol's squad, hold back until after we've all fired, then go straight down the center from above, trap her between us and the ship below her with the Martians at her back. If we pressure her enough she won't be able to focus on our artillery units, and you've got a close-combat specialist according to your files, so hopefully we can pin her in place. Nedermeyer's squad, you've been issued with epoxy cannons scabbarded on your Mantas. The range is fairly short, so only use them if she breaks in your direction and gets away from Luxol's squad.. Stay in formation until we're five clicks out, then split. I know you're all sweating, so am I, but we've got this thing outnumbered nine to one, eighteen if you count those Martians, plus whatever covering fire we're getting from the cruiser's CIWS turrets. In that mech is some son of a bitch who thinks we're all a bunch of cockroaches fit to be stepped on, but we're the United Jovian Colonies Independent Defense Force, and today we're doing the stepping.” You're nine kilometers out, now, from the unmistakable bulk of a ship moving at a fraction of its usual speed and a small swarm of Scimitars buzzing around a much larger mech. You're semi-familiar with the Palomino II, it's equipped with fairly serious missile launchers and carries a heavy cannon as standard equipment. It doesn't even pretend like it enjoys melee and has no shield, but at long distances it continued Bucephalus' proud tradition of fine long-range mecha.

If you count Sam assassinating Green Skulls with her electric stake drivers, Karen is the only exception, and even then you could maybe argue that her parents put themselves at more risk in battle because she was on board the Rhinehawk they were defending. You could also argue that because she rebuilt the Kaiser that a lot of deaths are her fault.

It's then that Simon makes an extremely thoughtless comment, “So, uh, have you guys seen those nAVIgator videos?”

“Yeah!” Sergeant Nedermeyer, however, makes it even worse. “I liked the one with Red Siren because she and Roarke are dreamy together and...oh, and the Harpy swarm! Where the Kaiser was super outnumbered but just kept crushing Harpies in its fists and...” Another Scimitar blip disappears from your sensors, “And...and oh...yeah. It was a lot like that.”

The good mood evaporates like dew off the moors. Everyone here realizes the connotations of what she just said, after all. Numbers are great, but a sufficiently powerful mech can plow through smaller mecha at a rapacious speed.

“Pumpkinseeds are a lot bigger than Harpies. So are Scimitars, for that matter.” Asphodel sharply cuts the conversation short. That doesn't dispel the thought, though, that what's coming into view on your sensors is definitely bigger than the Knuckle Kaiser. Unlike the Knights you've fought previously, this thing dances and flies with effortless grace, “And I don't want to know what those two particular loathesome human beings are doing.”

“I've seen you watching the Pumpkinseed II one! Brian, you're a liar!” Sergeant Nedermeyer protests, “Stop being a jerk just because you want to show off to SOUL!”

“Sergeant Nedermeyer, you are THREE GODDAMN STEPS away from Shetland Bay Duty when we get back to the Cicero!” Asphodel bellows back, “If I don't study Starwind and that Space Witch, how do you expect me to beat them!?”

“T-that's a good point.” Simon notes, and you hear Garret groan over the comms in frustration.

Still, Garret is a politician's son, and quickly changes the topic, "It's more like the Tarrasque fight. Big, stupid, arrogant target against smaller, smarter operators. Hey, Lieutenant, why don't we put some music on? It'll be good for morale."

You hear Asphodel growl and bonk his helmet against his monitor, but he replies in the affirmative, "Not a bad suggestion, Sergeant. Say, Corporal, to make up for the awkwardness earlier, why don't you pick something? Unless there's a unanimous vote against it, I'm really fine with listening to anything that ISN'T nAVIgator-related."

You grin behind your helmet, "How about some classic Red Siren? I've got 'My Boyfriend is a Pirate' right here..."

"OVERRULED!" Asphodel bellows immediately. You hear sighs over the comms from the soldiers who have known him long enough to realize that the idea of voting was a sham from the beginning, "Overruled and ALSO contraband!"

You're stunned, realizing that you might have actually, finally met someone who doesn't pirate music. Still, S-Pop isn't really your genre, it's too girly for your tastes, "It was a joke, Blue Knight is a man's mech and plays a man's tunes. We've got Aerosmith."

"But I like 'My Boyfriend is a-'" Sergeant Nedermeyer protests, but unfortunately Lieutenant Asphodel is louder.

"APPROVED! Make it so, Corporal." He raises his voice over hers, drowning her out, and you hurriedly put on the Aerosmith. Train Kept a Rollin' should come on right at about the time you're supposed to contact the enemy.

Who has just come into your visual range. She's standing on top of the Cassim's Folly, nearly directly between the wings and far, far too close to where she could do some damage to its fusion cores for your comfort. Rather than flying, she's strolling casually around on her rather dainty feet, which in daylight remind you of rather whimsical high-heeled boots.

So you magnify the shot, and see her wiping what's clearly the remains of a Scimitar's cockpit from one of the large, curved, winglike shields that extend down over her shoulders. The left-side shield is a mess, blackened and pitted from dozens of scars, and it seems to twitch a little in motion while the right-side turns moves smoothly to balance out every change in the mech's posture. You can see what look like detached cables hanging from behind where the end of the damaged shield has been ripped off, but despite all of that the rest of the white and gold mech is pristine and spotless. Its hands are empty, and its arms are actually crossed over its chest. One of the surviving Scimitars tries to ram it, and it casually leans out of the way, the smaller jet-form mech barely avoiding tearing its belly open on the hull of the ship as it skims past. The Paladin's head turns like an owl's as it moves, remaining fixed on your formation. You've heard rumors of advanced command mecha, ones generally given to officers significantly above your paygrade, having programs that can analyze enemy mecha for weaknesses, and you wonder with an unpleasant twist in your stomach whether the Paladin has that ability.

"On second thought...my squad, we'll fire both missiles. Let's drown this bitch in plasma and munitions. Luxol squad, you open up with yours too." The Lieutenant notes, his voice suddenly sounding a little parched.

Before you can voice optimism supporting the thought that the Martians will surely forgive the hole you might melt in their hull, you receive a vidcomm request. From something called the Berenger.

Belegor's Paladin mech is the Samson, that's probably who you're thinking of. Sir Gavin pilots the Roland, and Duke Eustace de Rothschild-Beauchamps pilots the Oliver. Loriette's is, of course, the Anseis.

Alright so we have thirty minutes to plan out some strategy to save the ship from the Paladin. Any bright ideas?

>>573119

>>573119
Anyone have a pack of explosive cores?

>>573119
What I said before. The Mantas are basically meat shields for our units, use smoke and flares to blind her, and worse case, self destruct and bail. I don't think it will be that easy though. Got a feeling she is playing bait.

>>573119
It seems to be melee based so try to keep our distance , which we should do anyway as we have that snazzy rifle Irina made us. And Samson is missing it's shield at the moment so that's even better.

I'm a little nervous about that interference we were getting though, that's an unknown variable, which is bad enough with normal mechs let alone with the Paladins.

>>573135
That thing took three fusion reactor explosions and was fine to keep fighting. We need something that can punch through her shields which have to be at least 12k

>>573141
I have a feeling she'll be able to kill our Mantas pretty easily

Any chance of an Oda/Storm Dragon's Ace Side Quest?

I would prefer the second because i think that Oda's carisma works better with him being an NPC... And because i really want to know more about his tripulation, but either option would be great ^^.

>>573173
Yes, but each blast was a different attack. So it was 3 10 k blasts. Her shields are showing signs of damage and wear so the armor rating is likely Beta. In the end, that means we simply need to keep pooring fire on it and it will eventually fly off. Problem is, our main ship's thrusters are damaged to a quarter of their speed. Thats going to hurt the return.. especially if the base is under attack.

>>573147
Our heavy missiles do 12k, I think all Pumpkinseeds have them but I'm not sure. That gives us 12 shots altogether that can pop the shield. Though we have no clue about this things evasive capabilities, she seems to be willing to tank hits from what it seems so far.

>>573196
If my math is right it should take 4 shots to destroy the shield if it is 12k then we have the armor and the servos themselves

>>573206
shields degrade by 1 each hit even if it goes through armor. If the hits are normally below 4 though, then thats probably why the machine has no dents on it's actual armor. Unless it has Gamma armor, which is going to make things slightly harder.

perhaps we should try something novel first.

Perhaps we should open comms to the pilot and try to talk?

>>573215
Yes and a 12k would work like, and it seems to be five not 4 missiles

12k-12k= 11k due to abation
11k-12k= 10k
10k-12k=8k
8k-12k= 4k
4k-12k=0k

>>573226
Can we shoot them all in the same turn? Does it work the way you described?I'm still a noob in this sytem...

>>573226
..except thats not how it works at all? Standard armor and shields lose 1 SP a hit period. No more, no less. This has been the case for many of our fights, even against big foes likee Rashad and his small active shield.

>>572515
Say, how many mech designs are there floating around for the contest anyway?

>>573147

Asphodel is on the same page as you in that regard, note that the only actual combat orders he gave were for you to open combat by dropping both of your +2 WA, 12K missiles on her, while his squad does the same. The Palomino IIs, for reference, carries three fivepacks of 6K, WA+1 Missiles, and have a 9K heavy cannon as their standard firearm. They're a bit of an oddity in this day and age for having no beam weaponry at all.

Hey, sup Mr.Wong, Thunder, & Brazilian anon. Just woke up, and holy shit, that's a lot things I missed.

Also, Gaunt's sister, Me thinks it's Rosita

>>573236

A lot, and I'm sure I'm missing some of the ones that were submitted.

>>573224
I'd normally agree with trying that, but we've encountered this Paladin before and this is a full on combat situation where we are trying to rescue a ship and supplies. I don't see us talking our way out of it and if we were able to it'd likely end with us handing Garrett over and possibly the ace pilot we have prisoner.

>>573247
Not the wife of the shamed designer?

You hit accept. There's no way your curiosity would have ever forgiven you otherwise. The spherical monitor surrounding you flashes, and then an image forms, showing you the inside of a cockpit. The woman inside is clearly not dressed for space combat. Her clothes would have been antique on ancient Terra by the time the world was bathed in radiation. A smart, narrow tricorn hat with a small feather sits atop hair the color of snow. Her skin is equally devoid of pigmentation, and her eyes are an extremely pale grey. Although she's shockingly pretty, it's impossible to pin down her age. At rest, she looks a decade older than you, but when she smiles you could swear she was sixteen. She dresses almost like a Victorian-era man would, but with a more feminine cut and color to it. You can see the basket hilt of an ornate sword at her waist. She's humming to herself, but doesn't speak until you hear eight other little chiming sounds, likely alerts that your squadmates have accepted her request. Then she lowers her head in a short bow.

“Welcome, warriors. I do thank you kindly for accepting my invitation hence.” Her mech, presumably the Berenger, splays the spindly, golden fingers of one hand across the alabaster armor of its chest and moves one leg behind the other, dipping its head almost to the ground in an incredibly overwrought but elegantly performed bow of its own, “I pray, will you hand over the one I seek without further violence? If all lives are equal on Jove, then surely it is a fair exchange, for I can cease swatting these Saracen mosquitoes and depart. I shall even promise not to hurt the young prince, if it is required. Once he has met with the Lady, I shall personally see him returned to you, without an ounce of violence permitted to befall him.”

Everyone else seems momentarily stunned, and you're all still three kilometers out from her, too far to even use your emergency missiles with accuracy.

You clear your throat, "See, the problem with that is the whole...'brainwashing spores' thing the Green Men do. So even if we were insane enough to let you have him, which I can say with authority we are not because I'll shoot the thrusters out from under anyone who says otherwise, you would harm him, and none of us would believe anything he said about meeting your Lady. The Martians would probably shoot him on the spot to prevent contamination. Your mission was doomed from the beginning, so withdraw or get shot down."

The pale woman's face is abruptly no longer smiling. It doesn't look angry, or sad, or anything else, just calm and puzzling, "I am sorry, boy. I understand your concerns and would fain upset your trust as comrades, but I was not making a request. I am Duchess Maria Carnegie, Paladin and rider of the Berenger, and I am here to carry out my duty in the service of the one goddess whose miracles I have ever witnessed in my long, long lifetime. I shall not be denied." The Berenger's back is to the Martians, and you see a squad of them circling around and swooping into position behind her. There must be something about her armor that's preventing them from employing their small but quad-linked cannons, if they think ramming is the only way they can hurt her.

"Pardon me. I have rude company." The Berenger's head turns, owl-like, and it lifts its shields. For a moment, the rain comes to a halt, and in the grey light you see a complex mass of grooved metal beneath, shifting and moving...and then, abruptly, the sky is full of gleaming golden filaments.

The Martians aren't rookies. They're experienced pilots, not elites, but competent. As the first waves of spears scythe through the air, two of the pilots bank and weave between the gleaming filaments. The third, though, is just a fraction too slow. What reminds you uncomfortably of the Magnetic Grappling Harpoon on Simon's Pumpkinseed except with a bladed tip instead of a grasper pierces directly through his cockpit at an angle, the point stained red. A second crosses through it at another angle, then a third and a fourth, and the drones attached to their razorwired nanofiber cables rip the Scimitar apart the way a waxed cord cuts through soft cheese. As they weave closer, the two remaining Scimitars put on an impressive display, but there are simply too many strands, and their cockpits are ripped to shreds before they make it within one hundred meters of the Paladin.

"I am, of all the Paladins, the oldest. Unlike my brethren, I had been offworld before the War even began. I remember the Confederation." The Berenger, unhurried, shakes its head. The filaments tense and stand out behind her, then withdraw beneath her shields, "You innocent children should not have come here, there are secrets buried on Qu'lir, a legacy of blood and curses that should have remained buried forever. The Lady is the only one with the ability to heal a world of slaves bred to feed the appetites of a species gluttonous on success, so do not dare dirty my ears with base slanders of her again. Stay in your system, custodians to a people that have achieved the natural limit of your species, the Lady is kind and will allow you to remain there, free from retribution for the atrocities of Mars. I pity you, but that shall not stay my hand from retrieving the specimen I have been entrusted with retrieving by the only being fit to rule an enlightened galaxy. I ask again, will you give me Garret Luxol?"

"Anyone know the most polite way to say 'fuck you I'm not handing my friend over to a fucking Green Man'?" You inquire loudly.

She sighs, "Headstrong boy." She smiles, and shakes her head a little, "Superb. Oh, I know very well, how the secrets of strength beckon so sweetly. How even when you are terrified, you always feel that desire to test yourself, to see how strong you really are, to fight the most powerful enemy you can find. That naked flame of ambition, so warm and bright. In another lifetime, I would be proud to call you my third pupil, and see you raised as they were to Paladinhood yourself someday. Were it otherwise, one of my nymphs would not have surrendered to you." She's applauding you, and so is her mech, it's a disconcerting sight. The Berenger stalks slowly forward, picking its way over crushed CIWS turrets and shattered Scimitars. "Only an honest death will cure you now." Her smile is as warm as human blood, "Liberate you, from your wild curiosity."

She turns off vidcomm.

Did we just smack her mech in the noggin?

>>573529
Let's pray that this is a good number.

>>573529

BOOM BABY!

Bulls-fucking-eye!

>>573529
Nice.

Also, >>573511 fk that noise. We're mecha space pirates

>>573529
>Roll on Special chart

Okay, I'll use the next roll and... >>573530

You've shot your second Avalonian's sensors out.

>>573542
I DENY MY FATE OF BEING A RED SHIRT!

>>573542
Godsent. We really needed that.

>>573542
Amos the Headhunter

>>573542
So, how many of the +17 did we take out?

>>573550
2, but you got to realize something anon; I used luck to boost that roll. It's over 5.

>>573542
WILL NOT JOB

I need a minute I can't stop laughing.

>>573559
Either things just got a whole lot easier, or a whole lot harder

>>573559
What did we do. Did we one-shot her mech

>>573562
I'm somewhat out of practice here, but fairly certain that we could chosen to have rolled on Cinematic Hits for that crit. A 10 means that her powerplant shuts down.

>>573568
Oh god that would have been hilarious

>>573562
>>573564
She made this whole speech about being this major badass, that we are young and foolish and need to do, then went 'NO, YOU!' to her. 1 missile lazily flying on it's path, the other hitting her square in the face and taking away here advantage. Now she's facing off against a whole lot more who are going to open fire on her.

She done fucked up.

this whole quest.

>>573573
If thats the case then almost every single mech we have every gone against has jobbed, and even the one that didn't still got her ass kicked without hurting us too bad

Have an accurate image of the events as they transpire.

>>573575
Hey, this whole quest knows what genre we're in.

Rolled 6 (1d10)

>>573553

So you did, which means that 10 was rolled on the special table.

>>573578
Does that mean if her reactor did shut down we should keep shooting and not attempt to capture.

>>573583
Can we not roll on Cinematic?

I don't want her powerplant to blow up ;_;

>>573588
That sounds like Anti-Sol talk their anon, better watch that Amos doesn't come for you

>>573588
Only good green mans a dead one.

>>573588

She survived it either way, but by rights the person who rolled that crit gets to decide.

>>573588
I do we just watched her coldy kill 2 martians, she dies

So, eyes took a hit due to location and now something else takes half damage in ANOTHER location? This is not her day.

>>573602
Hey, thats a half truth

>>573547

You, sir, both rolled the crit and rolled its location. What say you?

>>573606
So you're a lala homo man since you dont touch corpses?

>>573605

No. Amos straight missed her with one (after she spent her active shield blocking Asphodel's first missile...and he's the only one who beat your initiative when I rolled offscreen and he whiffed his other missile) and then hit her powerplant with the second.

No, location doesn't necessarily matter because it's a crit, not a hit.

You can choose to have that 10 on any of these three tables, with the corresponding effects.

>>573615
Cinematic is so much better in this one, we get a Paladin and her mech. This is a huge win for Sol

>>573615

And because it's a crit presumably you're rolling on the special or cinematic tables.

>>573618

If she doesn't pull a self destruct...

>>573614
that game was weird to play. hell the entire series was weird.

>>573618
Why do you think I was suggesting Cinematic instead of Special? Aside from flustering the waifu by randomly shutting down her entire mech

Wait...I'm Lost, whats going on anymore? Did we agree on Cinematic rules? Or did it always worked like that?

>>573621
And if shes dead we get a dead Paladin, its win win. And shouldn't she not be able to since her powerplant is fucked

>>573615
shit we can blow her powerplant in one go?

>>573607
Hmmm.. one hand she is a filthy greenman sympathizer. Other hand, she is Maria. I'd say disable her so we get the tech, the pilot, and the moral victory.

>>573629
When roarke hears of this, theres no chance the sol forces wont crow about this, we need to send a personal invitation to amos to take part in the Space Jam.
