Major- We need to adjust our battle plan, and we need to do it fast.

Unit 08 has collided with the 9th Angel’s main structure. I have the Technical Division running remote scans to determine the extent of damage caused by this impact.

Fortunately for us, the First Child managed to stay on top of the Angel. This should give us an unexpected chance to strike the Angel at close range.

Major.

The Angel's blast completely destroyed my orbital and re-entry equipment, I now have no means to safely reach the ground. It seems my Positron rifle was also damaged by the impact. At the speed we’re falling we’ll soon enter the cloud layer.

The Angel has been inactive since the collision. What are your orders, Major?

I better not wake up to a third impact you guys.

And welcome back Ceg, been a while!

Just when I have to go sleep. Don't fuck this up anons

By the way, I think we should hold a small private wake for Florence I, with the people in the know. Her biggest fear was to be forgotten. We owe her at least that.

Yay! NBS is back after like a two month hiatus.

I'm going to have to go back through the archives to remember exactly what's happening.

This was the last known image of the situation.

The 9th Angel has taken 1 bar of damage since then.

But EVA 08 has repaired 7 health.
On its own.
And generated 3 AT field, even though it was said its AT field is down.

Excuse me, but I'm pretty sure that isn't meant to happen.

CGT mobilize remaining units around HQ District.

We've been in worse, right? RIGHT?

CGT:
return fire immediately! After the first volley, spread out across the two most adjacent districts, we need to minimize the damage of future attacks.
could you post the map again ceg? it would be nice to see for strategic manoeuvres

HSI:
Send out emergency response teams to unit 01 and to the last known location of the missing mech unit immediately.

Florence, how are you holding up? Can you still fight? I know it's a lot to ask but we might need to drop you near a rifle depot to help finish off this damn thing.

Please Major, don't tell me you will go through with this hopeless plan. The First Child has already demonstrated her mediocre combat ability, there's no need to reenact a third failure.

Let them land, we'll make some emergency repairs to Unit 08 and regroup.

I admire your enthusiasm Florence, but I don't think we can take a risk that big right now. Both you and Chariot are badly damaged and our ground forces just took a serious hit too. Maybe you should meet up with sword and aid them in attacking the angel from the ground. Do you think you could hit it with a standard rifle? I think we could dispense one somewhere near HQ.

Hit it with a standard rifle? I-I should be able to, right?
>>
>>1028446
Do we have an anticipated landing zone for the Angel?

Between the turrets, our mechanized units and both EVAs we should have enough firepower should the Angel land.

If we believe the Angel is on a collision EVA 08 should return for refit. Florence, I believe you can land on the Angel and destroy the core but I don't think your EVA would survive.

If the Angel is holding in the air then we may have to risk another combat drop.

Florence, listen. Dropping you is too risky. Even if you were to destroy the cores with prog knife, you'd still need to complete a landing afterwards.

What we need here is for you to hit the cores a standard rifle. I know for a fact that you're capable of making that shot, Florence. Prepare to resupply and engage from the ground.

Let's get you on solid ground Florence.
That positron rifle you have still has a shot or two left in it, right? I want you to try to land whatever shots you can with it and have a combat rifle on backup for whenever that's spent.

Chariot, drop her near the weapon depot in HQ. After that do you think you can resupply at the airstrip and prepare for a bombing run?

CGT, how soon will the ground forces be ready for a counterattack?
I want to hit the angel with everything we have in one huge burst.

//HERE. IS. THE. SITREP.

I. Chariot is bringing back Unit 08 to the Eva Launch System in Residential District 03. Unit 08 is heavily damaged but still operational.

II. Our tank units are regrouping in Residential District 03. We still have no contact with Coin.

II. First Response teams are being deployed to recover Unit 01 and the Solomon Cannon. Dr. Hughes is currently preparing the Second Child, Anna Simenco, to take the Sixth Child's place inside Unit 01 if the Eva is still battleworthy.

III. Every YAGRs are grounded due to unknown malfunction in the flying software. The acting CAG hasn't given an ETA on this situation.

IV. The 9th Angel will shortly land in Montréal-3. Trajectory indicates that it will land at the southern edge of Residential District 06.

V. Heart wing has safely landed at the airbase. Refuel and rearming is underway.

The malfunction in the flying software is certainly sabotage. Can we use a "safe" and "private" way to contact CAG to ask her if she can make a complete backup of the current software state before the peoples behind this can cover their track?

Anyway. Every civilian in Res06 must be evacuated and all operationnal units must prepare for an attack on the Angel LZ.
Everyone must be carefull and stay away from this LZ until the Angel have landed.
Can't we try to deviate the Angel from its trajectory with our static defenses (are they even operationnal?)

>>1030562
N2 charges are to be used as a last resort.

Have the ground forces re-position, preferably orienting in the opposite direction of the civilian evac and prepare for GtG bombardment. Do as much as you can with unit 8 in the mean time and have everything else preped if we have to launch.

If at all possible try and delay landing the final strike until at least 90% of civilians are out of the AOE of the Angels death detonation. Clear out the immediate area for Heart's attack run at least. And get me a status report on the damn YAGRs and CAG!

So who were the 8 heads of TacOps prior to us that had to be replaced before they ended up with us?

The Mind Amalgamation Project must've produced far better candidates than just merging the consciousness of a random group of tabletop wargamers.

and so on

>>1030921
Technically yes

Now more realistically:

Our YAGRs are down due to software bug
Our interceptors are fucking 1/12th strength
Our bombers are probably half strength
Our tanks are repeatedly proving too slow to catch up to shit, and need to have the money spent on extra Sanic
Our static defenses need to be funded
Our HQ's armored layers are nearly depleted, still
The city's half-wrecked
and
Our EVAs are so beat up that we might as well shitcan them and order more interceptors.

Carl kinda called us out on this before, he knows he's only as good as what he can deliver, patting him on the back isn't gonna make him like us.

You guys are being really hard on him you know that? Am I the only voice that has any empathy? He lost all his friends when Vancouver got tanged. Even saw his fellow pilot die on our orders.

I'm not disputing our decision, we did what we had to, but Carl's still a kid, and what he went through is not something you get over quickly.

You guys shit on him just because he has the gall to be mad at us. And that's just petty

We might be hard on him, but there's nothing yet we can build upon to form a rapport. If he had shot down the Angel with one shot, I would let him brag and let him call us whatever he wanted. Anything to get the healing process going, finding worth as an EVA pilot can only help.

I'm not advocating we publicly berate him for his fuck ups, but in between the Major's multiple personalities I'm gonna keep giving him shit until he shows me up.

Although if individual merit is how NERV assigns worth I don't know why we haven't been taken behind the chemical shed and shot yet.

Well, about next time, maybe we could visit surviving members of tank/bomber/interceptor units in the Hospital.

We've never really cared about those faceless guys who gave their lives all this time and maybe we should try to cheer them up or something after the terrible losses they have faced.

We should also investigate about those software "issues". And hope Seth was able to do something about CAG.

Alright, might not be the best idea but I suggest fully repairing the EVA units, which I think costs around 39 units to repair. Allocate 3 funding units to the geofront, bringing it up to 42 units. Then fully repair Hermit and Temperance, leaving one to spare. I'm not too sure what to do with the last point, maybe put it into one of the damaged areas or a further FU into the geofront layers?
>>
>>1033958
If you would post the png version, people could just fill-tool the changes they want to make.

on that note:
+5 Unit 1
+10 Unit 2
+6 Unit 8

+3 Queen
+3 Hermit
+4 Temperance
+2 Heart
+2 Bell
+4 Acorn
+5 Headquarters
+6 Geofront (30 layers)

Acorn only has 3 ticks to fill. So that leaves us with a spare FU. Might as well go to the static defense or a tank division. Or can we use those for upgrades too? Been a long time.

Positron Tech (is there a way for a MP Rifle to be made into static defense?)
Angel Reverse Engineering (I am a bit scarred about all that ways of it going bad, really bad or terribly, terribly bad. But that infinity power can also do a lot's of good stuff)

And we could have some TEAMWORK training for EVA pilots
>>
How many pilots combat-ready do we actually have?
>>
>>1034884
Florence is good.
Carl is unknown.
EM and EK cant synch.
Other girl is good? I think they let her out of iso.
So like 2.
>>
>>1034893
>>1034884
They have actually reported they're putting Anna into an Eva, so more like 3
>>
Perhaps our pilots should get more Harmonics Training for increased control of A.T. fields before they try using the third-level Angel Tech. Less chance of something going really, really wrong.
>>
Okay, I think that the repairs of the HQ, EVA01 and EVA08 are a must. That leaves us with 50 - 9 - 5 - 8 = 28 FUs. The upgraded tanks hit hard with a high roll, so spending money in repairing them might be good.

We could also have some teamwork training between the Eileens, and maybe participate on it ourserves. They may even hate each other a bit less after that.
>>
>>1034918
So we actually need between 2 and 3 EVA and more if we wan't to have the luxury of having a spare one.
>>
>>1034402
Does pilot training cost any FU?
We should sign everybody up for harmonics and/or teamwork exercises (to get Eileens and Carl to stop being so difficult)
>>
Here are my hot opinions:

Liz is the one girl we should pursue as a love interest. Rachel is the polar opposite of pure, she's emotionally immature and will likely die next encounter. Sophie is a meme, I don't even know what you guys see in her. Elizabeth on the other hand has an healthy relationship with us, she is the best looking of the whole cast and she has proven to be trustworthy.

We should rethink how we use the evangelions. Each encounter has shown that, contrary to the TV series, conventional forces are actually competent. Even more than our evas sometimes. We should use the evas only as "tanks", holding the angel in place while our forces fire on it.

The eileens situation is getting out of hand, they're now being agressive toward each other. We need to either separate them for good (find a new home for one of them) or we invite florence to come live with us. Think about it: obviously she is close to Katie since she's the one who told her about Marie, she is known to have a good nature (she is friends with everyone, even carl) and she surely won't miss her shitty room. Maybe she'll be able to be a good influence and smooth things over between them?

Yes, and she is. Ever since she showed up from God knows where, I've failed every synchronization test. I mean- She must know it too, right? I was only being sincere.

As for your sister, I've honestly had it with her attitude as well but I am not about to side with one to neglect the other. I know you may not like it, but you're as equal to me as she is. Besides, I think I may have an idea as to why the synch tests may be going so poorly with you two.

We need to talk to your sister. I can't bear to see you two fighting anymore, and if it is going to escalate to violence then I think it is time I step in.
I'll head to her ward in a bit, as I need to speak to her as well.

I vote we build a jager for the eileens and have them to a ddr training montage like in episode 9 of NGE.

>look, I know this is a difficult situation but you can't just blame everything on Marie. This whole mess is confusing and frustrating for everybody but I think we can work it out if you two just would just talk it out. I'm sure there's some other explanation for your sync ratio. Maybe if the two of you tried to pilot an Eva together we could get some results.

>Just remember that she's just as much a person as the rest of us. Hell, she might be your other half.
