Round 9 summary

Chris Lowes

With the Core of the Second Son open the turrets continue their bombardment, though with no neutralization the core is easily able to defend itself against the conventional forces. Amaterasu however finds no difficulty in the AT field as she launches the dagger, the weapon tears through the Core's defenses with ease and pierces the glass like skin of the core. Your sensors pick up a spike in AT power from the core, hinting to a possible explosion, though it almost immediately falls silent.   "Second Son confirmed defeat, well done team! One more to go!"   A brief celebrations can be heard from Chris Lowes microphone, the end should be near.   With the Second Son defeated the focus shifts to the retreating Entity. Anya sprints forwards, closing the distance and slashing out with her knife. The blade strikes hard against the Core, causing a screech of pain from the creature. Small splinters of glass like shards jump from the core, multiple small cracks appearing across its surface.   Zelda follows suit, crossing across into the ruins of zone 4 and chasing after the Entity with blade in hand. Just as Anya does her attack Zelda swipes out with her own weapon, the Entity clearly struggles to follow both threats at once, allowing Zelda to land a solid strike on the creature's core. The blade sinks deep into the Core, blood like liquid spills out as the core drenching the arms of Unit -17 as the core rapidly begins heating up.   An intense white light begins to burn from the creature's Core, "AT is unstable, prepare for explosion. Brace defences." The words come from Ian Sal, his voice reaching all pilots.   In less than a second the Core has detonated, the following explosion devours all within 200 metersThis is 20 dam, 4 squares. The intense heat and force tears down buildings and infrastructure, even the Mecha are unsafe as the explosion overwhelms AT fields. Back on the control bridge sensors are overwhelmed with static and white noise. This explosion will leave little standing within the 200 meters of the Angel, nothing but a flattened portion of the city.

• Being ignored :(

RX - 0s attack - Hit location is 02, which is core. Pen 4 is enough to bypass all armour. Critical damage dealt.

Zelda's attack - Put this attack second to get +10 from gang up, meaning attack breaks TN. I will roll damage, rolled 1 and 2 so proven (3) makes it a 3 on roll, +3 for strength and +3 for weapon. Damage is 9 rending. Pen 4 bypasses all armour. Killing blow.

Serena swears as her Pilots and their Class C Evangelions disappear into an explosion. "Son of a motherless low-rent extraplanar whore!.". Serena then starts snapping orders as she turns her headset back on. She tunes to the flight control channels of her VTOLs. "Firefly Flight, Silver, Descend to Angels Two-Zero and Confirm Visual Status of Unit-Seventeen, Unit-R-X-Zero, and Unit-Amaterasu. Execute, Silver Clear." Serena than switches over to the Turret Control channel on her headset. "Turret control, CEASEFIRE CEASEFIRE CEASEFIRE, Weapon Hold at this time, Silver Clear." Serena then mutes her headset and speaks to the people on the Command Bridge. "Status report on Emiko, Anya, and Zelda and damage report on Amaterasu, R-X-Zero, and Seventeen, posthaste. I need to know where we sit tactically, because sure as my beret, I do not think this is over." Serena Silver then unmutes her headset and switches to the Pilots' Channel, the "Command Channel". "Emiko, Zelda, Anya, good work, now sound off for personal and equipment check! Tell us how you are doing and how your Evangelions are doing." Serena watches her screens, focused on her Pilots and their weapons of war.

Emiko

Wounds: 0/12 Fatigue: 2 Ego Barrier: 12/12 Insanity: 2

Emiko feels the build from the direction of her teammates, or does Amaterasu feel it.. she can't tell right now but whatever it is, its bad. With one good leg left she throws her Eva back - casually crushing another building that will no doubt go on a tally somewhere - and disappears into the rubble. The explosion rocks the ground around her and debris fly but she remains undamaged..

Well, not further damaged....

"Warui koto o suruDoing not so good..." She takes a deep breath and rolls the Eva out of the rubble, heaving it up to one knee "I'm fine... Amaterasu is.. Less fine.. Left leg is mostly inoperable.. Torso has taken considerable internal damage.. it feels like something is sitting on my chest so i don't think its good..."

Its not exactly hard to see the damage though, The eva has an enormous hole in its chest leaking 'blood' along with the shattered leg, she could probably limp back but it'll be slow.

"What is the condition of the other pilots.. That.. looked bad.."

Before...

Zelda charge Son 1, with doubts in her heart, she swing her knife but the opponent is awkwardly positioned and the attack is destined to go wide...but it doesnt, RX-0 suddenly appear to her left flank, Anya attack not only wound but stagger the foe, just enough for Zelda to connect her blow, with the dagger stuck into the entity she drop the rifle, freeing her left hand and using it like an hammer she strike the pommel, driving the blade deeper into the monster, killing it.

The joy is short lived, Zelda doesnt even have the time for a witty post-mortem one liner, the entity emit a bright, almost blinding, light and Ian's words anticipate what is coming.

[profanity]

Now

As the smoke begin to settle Unit-17 can be seen, standing among the rubble, with the left arm raised and the fist closed in a sign of victory.

This, once again, is mostly for show, theres a fair chance the footage of the battle will end up on the news of every country, given how close was to the capital, the other two mechs have taken quite a beating while she minimized it, Zelda happily hog the spotlight and take the first step to become Great Britain's symbol of hope... like the hero she is borrowing the pose from.

She doesnt answer yet, her stressed voice would ruin the moment, stoic silence work much better.

Anya is relieved to reach the entity in time to back Zelda up, even more so that her attack manages to hurt the creature. She is even somewhat pleased, when she sees Unit-17 land what seems like a fatal blow.

All those emotions rapidly disappear as she watches the intense light emanate from the core and feels the burning force from the explosion.

She has no time to react but her mind is racing... did the others get clear...was that meant to happen...did I do something wrong.

The once white torso of the RX-0 is now blackened and charred from the explosion, crackling with flames along the tears in the structure.

The pain tearing through her torso overrides all thought as Anya struggles to breathe. It feels like her own body was hit by the explosion. She thinks she Can hear the Captain through her comms, but can't quite bring herself to respond yet as she tries to catch her breath.

Round 9 summary

 

Ruins of London

The turrets stop firing the second Serena calls the ceasefire, and not a moment before. The VTOL is high up when the explosion occurs, at first their sensors are useless due to the static caused by the AT within the explosion. However after perhaps ten seconds or so the smoke begins to clear the VTOL returns a quick report. “Visual on all Class C, all appear mobile, no ejection of plugs has occurred.”   The explosion, or at least the AT field released by it, was enough to delay sensors leaving the command bridge blind for roughly ten seconds. Though feedback from the Mecha eventually occurs, and the reports from each of the crew can be heard.   Ian replies to Serena, though keeps his coms open to the pilots. “Unit – 17 and Zelda, showing near perfect health.” Ian throws up the image of Unit -17 fist raised to the sky in the middle of the small crater, scattered parts of the First Son all around her. “Perhaps a little too well, ha.”   Chris keeps his line shut as he relay information to Serena. “Amaterasu is pretty battered, on both body and left leg. I would say three weeks repair work. Emiko’s stats are returning to normal, though her left leg will require medical to look at.” Chris Lowes then opens the line to Emiko. “Good work out there, welcome to the team. We will get you out first, all other pilots are fine, you are the worst.”   Angela lowers the pressure and temperature within Anya’s entry plug, hoping to relieve some of the stress felt by the young girl. “We have you Anya, the threats are finished, you won.” The words are meant to be positive, to help support, but Angela cannot help but say them with an almost bland tone. She turns off her comms to the pilots and turns to Serena, “RX-0 has taken damage to the torso, perhaps two weeks repair. Anya is uninjured, though vitals elevated. Fatigue and stress are most likely settling in, but I will monitor.” Anya then reopens the comms to the pilots as a small warning appears on the bridge, "be aware pilots, your umbilical cords were destroyed within the explosion. Ensure you plug yourselves back in. Assist Emiko as required."   With confirmation that no pilot is in critical condition the tension releases on the bridge, after a moment Chris Kumar speaks through the comms to the pilots. "Zelda, help Emiko into a port and send her down. Once done, you two come down. There is no serious infrastructure damage so you won't be needed immediately for clean up." The words made it clear, Anya and Zelda will likely be back up in a day or two helping move the heavier rubble. Chris then tuns his comms off and walks to Serena, staying close he speaks in a quieter voice. "Casualties are estimated to be on the higher side, not due to the explosion, but due to delayed evacuation and release of Mecha. Explosion was within Zone 4, and estimated loss of life is low for that. Report will be shared in due time."

 

It takes only a few minutes for Emiko to be loaded up into the loading bay by Zelda and/or Anya, after which the other pilots are once again instructed to head back. Zone 3, and Zone 4, have both taken some heavy damage, though thankfully the Entities themselves were defeated and unbale to retreat, meaning no repeat attack any time soon.   As Anya and Zelda get ready to leave as a few helicopters appear, clearly not military. The logos on their sides make it clear that the news reporters have now started to move in. You are told not to hang around, the less footage of you the better. "Your deployment here has been kept under wraps for the most part, so this will be the first time they seen your Mecha...Press will be clamoring for you guys soon enough."   Each of you find yourselves rattling down the launch port, soon your Mecha is seated back into its resting position prior to the attack. The LCL is drained from your entry plug and then the plug slowly eject from the Mecha, the sound of mechanical whirling fills your little pod. Suddenly the sound stops, and the side door opens, revealing a few support staff to help you out, each of you are ushered to a small wheelchair and are told you will be taken to medical for a checkup.     The journey to the medical bay is only a few minutes, the three of you are wheeled through the white hallways like VIPs. The halls are empty, though you do see the odd person staring through the windows from adjoining rooms every now and then. A few of them clap, a few of them give thumbs up, some of them do nothing.   Once you are in the medical bay the doctors greet you with a smile and put the three of your in beds next to each other, "as you know, this is just procedure, we just need to run some checks and then you are free to go." The doctor, his name tag says 'Dr Grant Haze', gives you a smile and gestures to the hospital gowns on your beds before closing each of your curtains, "just open the curtains when ready."

Combat is now finished, feel free to post in any order. Thread is not yet finished.

We will likely be using this same thread for perhaps a page or two, take this as some time to do some RP as you see fit. Once you have had your fill let me known in the OOC, I won't force a scene switch unless there is a massive gap between posts. After this thread there will be a short time skip to early tomorrow evening, which is roughly when you were meant to have the 'party' that the Commander mentioned near the start of the game.

 

Post combat awards

So you end the fight with 34 collateral, which just is a 'Good Battle'. This gives you 10 surplus. Along with that you get 10 research, and 5 trust for NERV. Each of you will be responsible for tracking your own trust, feel free to put it in your private threads. NERV trust should be 20 (15+5) and your 'parent agency' will be 15.

Your total research is now 30, so if the team wishes you can purchase stuff. This is a team decision.

EXP will be granted at the end of the session, there is one more 'main' RP thread. I will however be posting some questions/asking feedback in your private threads in the coming days.

As per house rules discussed in Prestars private thread, a zone cannot be used for combat twice in a row (at least, not without issues). Meaning the next fight will occurs in zone 1 or 2.

Serena sees the ID on the phone and answers it, listens to Doctor Haze's message. "Thank you, Doctor Haze. I will be down shortly." She turns back to the Bridge Crew. "Our Pilots have been recovered safely and are being checked over at Medical. Mister Kumar, you have the Command Bridge and are in charge of the ongoing recovery operations. Call me on my cell phone if anything needs my attention. I will be in Medical checking on our Pilots otherwise. And when you come off-shift, there is a party at our apartments! Come as you are, food is on me! Good job, and you all kicked ass! Keep up the excellent work!" Serena Silver removes and then racks her headset, making sure it is off and charging, then leaves the Command Bridge, heading for Medical. She makes sure to take her time, timing it so she word arrive in right at ten minutes. She plans to quietly slip into the ward her Pilots are in and have a quiet but celebratory chat with them after getting their health status from Doctor Haze...

[Mattheus2924]

As Anya tries to regain control of her breathing, she focuses in on Angela's words. The consistent tone is actually helpful.

Somewhat calmed down, Anya reports back to Captain Silver. "Captain, RX-0 taken heavy damage to the torso, I am ... uninjured." She keeps it brief. "Moving to assist Emiko."

 

Anya does not feel good exiting the entry plug, maybe it's just the effects of the battle and synching with the Eva. catching up with her. She manages to fight off that feeing but says very little on the way to the med bay, and barely acknowledge the onlookers. She is too distracted by this growing headache.

 

[Neopopulas]

Emiko

Wounds: 0/12 Fatigue: 2 Ego Barrier: 12/12 Insanity: 2

Emiko feels pretty.. bad when she comes out, she doesn't look good at all and for just a moment she holds up a hand so she can finish coughing LCL.. why is there always more of that stuff no matter what you do.

She's not walking anywhere so she is grateful of the help, she is less grateful for the attention, but she bares it well enough.

She does take some time to feel herself again, sitting in a hospital bed and not entirely sure what to do with herself, it was an awful lot of fuss..

She keeps rubbing her leg and every now and then she finds her hand on the middle of her chest... So she gets out as fast as she can. She's dressed quick as possible and whips the curtain back to escape. She catches herself limping a little as she walks and forces herself not to. She leaves the other pilots alone for a moment but can't leave it...

"So.. are we getting out of here.."

 

 

 

 

[Rudra]

Zelda too doesnt feel well, now that she's within the base theres no need to play the tough girl, she'll use the wheelchair, do as the doctors tell her and take her time, she has earned some rest.

She does wave at those who cheer at her, a modicum of courtesy can go a long way, these people are doing what they can to help.

She inform Dr. Grant about her headache, nausea and sore shoulder the last one being completely made up but a set up for a little joke she has in mind

With each pilot beyond their curtains Zelda cant see the others, but know they are there and does talk to them"you know, the aviators have a tradition, call signs are given, not chosen, given by the squad...our squad is small so, as the big sister, i'm naming you White Witch and Little Rock, cause you're white & witchy" hinting at emiko "and you took a beating but kept fighting, tough like a rock, a little rock" this time referring to Anya

"do not chose mine while you are on medical drugs" she add, to be safe

Hallways of NERV-London

 

Paul Nosworth (Head of Public Relations)

The team on the bridge listen to Serena as she gives the reports of the pilots, the majority of people nod in understanding. For the most part they have returned to routine operations, post combat is normally the same for them. When the bridge is handed across to Kumar he gives a solid nod and a quick farewell to Serena as she leaves the bridge.   For first time in about thirty minutes or so there is relative silence when the doors to the bridge close behind her, the hallways are empty, not a sole can be seen. That is until Serena turns the first corner and see Paul Nosworth, head of public relations, casually leaning up against the wall. A thick jumper hugging his body.   “Good to see you. I thought I would wait out here for you here Captain, instead of barging onto the Bridge.” He pushes himself off the wall and gives Serena a light smile, to get to the medical bay she would need to pass him or take an annoying detour. “I watched the events above unfold, you and the team did well considering the situation. We both know Mike and his team would have done better, but there will always be teething issues.”   He waits for you to approach and then steps in line with you, his hands in his pockets and his shoulder pulled back, giving him the look of a body builder instead of just being overweight. “As you know, the conflict would have been captured and shared across the world by now. People were expecting the original team’s Mechs up there, considering we kept the movement of the pilots allocation here a secret, which I still fully agree with. Even if we had issues with the fourth.” He pulls his hands out with a calming motion, making it clear he isn’t looking to antagonize.   “Three new Class-C Mechas and their pilots have set the internet ablaze; people are already speculating and the media will be circling. I think we should get ahead of the curve, have you and the team do a short public appearance, some Q&A. If we give them some answers now, or soon, then we can stop the media digging deeper because we haven’t thrown them a bone.” He lets the words sit for a second, “I already know that Ms Jordan is going to be digging deep. We give them something now, we take them out at the knees.”   He eventually slows his steps, making it clear he is taking a turning you are not. “We don’t need to rush you and the team out, you guys deserve some time to relax. Though if we can look to arrange something within the next week or two I think it would be good, the longer we give the media the more they can dig.”

 

 

The Medical Bay

The medical bay is quiet, no other patients are present other than yourselves.

When Emiko pulls aside the curtain the doctors sitting outside at their desks are a little a taken back, “miss, please lay down, this won’t take long.” With that two doctors are quick to get up and move towards Emiko, gesturing her back to the bed and helping her as needed. The other doctors take this as their que to go to each of the other pilots.

 

Each of you finds yourself with two doctors, the next string of questions is the same for you all, this is clearly a routine these doctors have gone through multiple times. “Full name? Date of birth?” As you answer the questions they scribble down the answers, “any aches, pains? Perhaps nausea, light headedness?” They wait for your answers once more before pulling out their stethoscope, after politely asking they place the cold metal on your upper chest and listen to your heart and internals. From what you hear them saying in doctor-lingo everything seems okay, though the doctors with Zelda question the shoulder more. "Is it a general soreness, present at all times, or when moving it in a certain way?"

 

Eventually they take a step back, and ask one final question. “Can you briefly detail what has happened in the last thirty minutes please.” Once again, they politely wait with a smile, scribbling down your answers.

 

For Anya that was the last of questioning and she is informed they are welcome to rest here as long as they want as Serena is coming down to see them. Emiko is informed she will need a quick x-ray of her leg, to confirm these is no real damage, which will be ready in around five minutes. With Zelda the doctors continue to question the shoulder, likely attempting to conclude if it is simply bruising or something more serious.

 

A set of dressing gowns are given to Anya and Zelda to provide them some more decency for when they leave the medical bay…Currently all their clothes are either in the lockers, or locked within the apartment.

[Prestar]

 

Serena doesn't have anything against Nosworth personally, but her instinctual military-bred dislike of the press and the Public Affairs Office is always hard to suppress. She manages it this time, despite being effectively ambushed, although her tone is somewhat flat, as it always is when dealing with the Press, Public Affairs Office, or Public Relations. "Point taken, Paul. Book us for Fourteen Hundred in three days. I want all the press you feel appropriate, to potentially include that vulture hack Jordan from CNN if you so see fit, there. We might as well only do this once. Now, if you will excuse me, I have my Pilots to attend to. Have a good day, Paul, and get with me and the Pilots with the details of the press conference at least twelve hours ahead of time so that we can prepare." Serena then nods to him as he takes his turn and she heads on her way. Serena walks into the medical ward unannounced and speaks clearly, carringly, yet quietly, a trick she learned in the military. "How are you three doing? And how can I help you right now? Also, we four have a press conference in three days at Fourteen Hundred. Easiest way to deal with press madness or fourth estate pressure or something like that. Mainly to keep reporters off our asses. And trust me, you want the press off your ass."

"Little rock, heh, I like it." Anya chuckles, and finds it oddly fitting of her life.

Anya answers the medical staff's questions with the standard responses, and mentions the nausea and persisting headache.

She takes a moment before answering the final question, then recaps from her perspective - it's all still very fresh in her mind, and decides to wait for Serena's arrival.

"Captain, no injuries, still a bit...shaken." The next part of what Serena says does not register straight away, mostly because Anya was not expecting it.

"A press conference? I have not done one of those, just very basic interview prep. Keep answers short, answer the question directly, don't say too much else - that sort of thing. Will we go over some standard responses."

Rest quickly becomes an afterthought for Anya - on to the next mission.

[Neopopulas]

Emiko

Wounds: 0/12 Fatigue: 2 Ego Barrier: 12/12 Insanity: 2

Emiko is .. tolerant at best of being re-captured to the med-bay. She was hoping she would get out without that but she was also not very surprised. But it was obvious that she was not happy about it.

She also didn't seem very happy about the whole press conference idea, but she clearly wasn't going to complain about it either..
 

 

 

 

[Rudra]

Zelda go through the questions

"Zelda.." *cough* unintelligible sound *cough* " Hooper" after the initial hiccup she proceed with speed, as if trying to put this behind, as quickly as possible " 5 november 2006"

"yes, yes, i could use something for this headache "

when the questions move to her shoulder, she play conservative, he doesnt want the doctors to worry and perform other tests, merely want to snatch a -get out of physical exercise for a day- ticket.

When asked to narrate the recent event Zelda provide a lot of details, not just what happened but how she felt, the roller-coaster of emotions and even mention what the entities, in her opinion, felt.

Her report is anything but brief, she sigh at the dressing gown and make a mental note to buy a set of clothes to keep at the infirmary since she's likely going to frequently visit it.

When Silver make her entrance she wave at her "all in once piece, but zone 3 was hit pretty badly...how are rescue operations going?"

Hearing that they will go to a press conference does boost her morale, she didnt expect it to happen so soon but it's an opportunity she cant throw away, she need to make a good impression.

"I suppose this too is part of the job" pretending to not be as interested as she is, the teen is mentally checking out her wardrobe , searching for the perfect combination, is there a good hairdresser here at the base?? what will the other wear?
