* Mayor asks Kiku "Do you ahve any more questions?" (Beginning already? @_@) (Yeah, could you WARN us when you're starting, maybe do a little sceen set up?) OK, Kiku and keiko are continuing the briefing with the mayor. You each have a dish of straberry ice cream in your laps. Nova isn;t here yet. (*nods* Do a little setting intro to make sure people are all on the same page. Maybe some time transpired since the last session? It makes it easier for people who either miss or don't watch regularly to get a feel for what's going on.) (*hands Brett a chair, evedently they're in style.) (As many people in the channel have multiple games and other things going on, not everyone will remember exactly what happened last session.) (Logs also help with that.) (Stupid connection.) ( I'm just curious as to Micheals style. =p ) * Kiku glares at the mayor, her hand still twitching wildly. She opens her mouth and suddenly there's a crack as a few of the pictures he has on the wall behind him crack in place. Hey! Stop that! * Keika winces and her birds head immidatly swings to look at the source of the noise. * NovaAres enters the office as the receptionist opens the door for her and takes a moment to orient herself to the scene. Everyone repeat your phsycial descriptions for Nova's beenfit. * Kiku , when the pictures crack, suddenly takes a deep breath, and stops glaring. She whimpers pathetically. "Drugs...." * theBird turns it's head again and hops across it's masters chair so it can see the door. NO drugs. Yoiu;\'ll have to learn self-control. Ah, Ares-san, you;ve arrived. * Kiku is a 17 year old woman, with very pretty features. She's probably 5'5" standing, which she isn't doing now, and is wearing a blue dress. She has long black hair, clasped with a simple silver hair clasp. You can't see much more than that from behind, other than that her right hand is twitching. * Kiku nods, still whimpering a little, but it's incoherent. Her left hand clutches a normal-sized purple and pink butterfly-like plush. * Keika is a tall woman in her late 20's, with short light blue hair, dark and fairly formfitting clothes, from behind you can tell that she's also has a mechanical raven. One of the pictures falls to the floor. * NovaAres appears as a Japanese girl in her mid-teens with large Elvin ears and a slightly underdeveloped form that is none-the-less both beautiful in shape and quite graceful in movement. * NovaAres stands around 150cm (5’0”) in height, weighs around 41kg (90lbs), beautiful purple eyes and short, light blue hair, and, on her left cheek, not far below her eye, is a tattoo logo of the A.R.E.S. (Advanced Research Electronics Systems) Corporation. * NovaAres replys quietly, "Yes. I am here." No trobuel with your owners? * NovaAres answers, "No trouble." * Mayor smiles."I tried to buy your contract, but the corporation wouldn;t let me. You're on loan to us for the duration." * Kiku 's head turns to the new voice and she stares at the new woman with her striking blue eyes, still clutching the plush tightly with her left arm. * NovaAres replys, "Understood." 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6) and gets 6. * Keika continues to calmly eat her icecream. 2d6-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for NovaAres (2d6-6) and gets 4. * Kiku quirks her head in confusion at Nova, and then says, cheer back in her voice, "Hello... Ares-san?" * NovaAres 's eyes shift to the person now speaking to her and replies, "Hello." You know who I am? * NovaAres 's eyes shift back to the Mayor. (Was the query addressed to Nova or another?) To Nova. * Kiku waves at her, with the plush, then turns back forward and tries to grab the spoon and eat ice-creram. It doesn't work so well. * NovaAres replys, "You are an important city offical." * Mayor chuckels. "I see your handlers are prone to understatement. I am the Mayor of Tokyo." * NovaAres replys, "Acknowledged." The wall slides back and a plasma screen appears behind it. Now pay close attention to this. A man in blue, in a military unform, appeals on the screen. * Kiku ends up making a mess of herself for a bit until her hand stops twitching, and she pouts at the mess of strawberry ice cream. * theBird hops around untill it's facing the screen. This message is for the city of Tokyo or for anyone who would stand to defend her. We are the advance guard of the Slythe. Your primitive forces have no hopes of defeating us. They do, however, stand to destroiy yourselfes. We have come to save you from yourselves. Therefore, I make you an offer. lay down your arms and accept the jurisdiction of the Slythe and nobody will be harmed. resistance will only mean needless destruction. This is your only warning. (I presume that was the Japanese language) That message was received three hours ago. A;lready Slythe forces are massing in the suburbs. the JSDF has no chance against them but mecha, piloted with your abilities, do. * Kiku 's head looks at the screen once the noise starts, and once it's over she looks at the mayor funny. And messy. "Soooo... oh! What I came here for. Right." She nods, finally understanding what's going on. You will recieve full pardon for all past offenses, as I said, if you join usand use the mecha you have to defend the city of Tokyo from the Slythe. * Keika shrugs, "Sounds good enough to me." Better than having your brain erased, right Kiku-chan? * Kiku says eagerely. "And then we don't have to be in cells and I can..." she flinches when he says that. * Kiku murmurs, "I like my brain." Of course the down side of this is that he doesn't want you to have your drugs. That's right. You will now be convoyed to the hangar. Your mecha are waiting. Our strategists have suggested a pre-emptive attack against the Slythe. * Kiku nods with what Keika says, starts to say something then, suddenly, when he says, "Strategists," she responds, "Do we know anything, Mr. Mayor?" We know they are massed in the outskirts to the north of the city. Your orders are to destroy their camp. A frontal assault has been suggested. * NovaAres continues to listen and observe. Everyone make a Mind roll and add any bonuses for combat skills. (which combat skills? @_@) (... Like, Melee Combat, or Mil Sci tactics?) Mil Sci tactis would be most approprioate. 2 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keika (2 2d6) and gets 11 5. 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for NovaAres (2d6-1) and gets 9. 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6-1) and gets 4. (no) (Yes!) (that a hell no) * NovaAres asks, "What intelligence has been gathered thus far?" * Kiku makes an icky face, which doesn't look so distasteful because half her face is covered with ice cream., but still. "Mr. Mayor? Your strategists suck!" She nods happily, and makes sure that her plush agrees. They have made the curcial mistake of not shooting down our sattelites. We can see where they are. Nani, Kiku? And why is that? * Kiku says cheerily, "Because they suck." She looks over at her plush, then nods, and looks back towards him. "Going right in? They'll blow us to little bitty pieces. Couldn't we look at the maps instead? Pleeeease?" The screen shifts to a sattelite iomage of the attack zone. You can see the camp. * theBird stares up at the map of the city. It is built with its back to a hill, but with a full range of fire to the front. * Kiku looks at the map too! She did ask for it. * NovaAres responds to Kiku's query, "Perhaps they are overconfident and want us to see them destroy our resistance without effort. Perhaps they are also using them. Perhaps they are attepting to set us up by having them provide us with false intelligence." 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keika (2d6-2) and gets 3. * Kiku blinks at what Nova says, then hums a little tune to herself. (If any of you know anything about bad Kaiju movies, it's the theme from a modernish Godzilla-style flick.) (But you all don't, so nyah.) Perhaps they simply confused the front and the back of that mountain. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6-2) and gets 6. * Kiku then blinks, and says, "Ares-san is right! Your strategists are dumb AND evil!" She smiles and says, "That big hill is much nicer, like Keika said." What makes you think a drugged-out little girl knwos more than our best generals? * Keika shrugs again, "If we die they don't have to pay us and we make a dent in them." * NovaAres asks, "Estimated number of enemy forces expected to be encountered?" * mayor turns around and looks at the map. "On the other hand, Kiku, you were never known as stupid." he then touches his skullcap. "I wish our generals have these psi-shields. --- Good Gods! I wonder if our command staff has been infleunced?" That would probilby be...a bad thing. * NovaAres responds, "A logical strategy." * Kiku giggles, then puts her finger to her cheek. "I don't know! Maybe." But they suck. All right! Do whatever you want with the mecha! Just destroy that camp! * NovaAres says, "Acknowledged." * Keika leans over and places her unfinished bowel of icecream on the ground, "So...Death from Above, or do we hit them from behind?" everybody make Mind rolls plus their Mil Sci bonuses. * NovaAres observes image closer. * Kiku picks hers up with her semi-shaky hand, making a bit more of a mess, then resting it on the mayor's desk. Poor mayor's desk. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for NovaAres (2d6-2) and gets 7. 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6-1) and gets 6. 2 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keika (2 2d6) and gets 5 6. (Wahooey.) (no -just not her night for strat rolls) Then again, with the three of us we can do both. * Kiku smiles and says, "Yes! All of them!" Beat. "Um. I mean both?" 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6) and gets 7. * Kiku stands up, making it more obvious to both of them that that twitch in her right hand totally messed up her ability to eat ice cream. Now it looks more like she's wearing a blue dress with pink polka dots on one side. * Keika snorts and then stands up and turns around, "You can attack from the front too if you wish." (and Nova can finaly see that Keika is blindfolded.) You'll need to cnage your clothes, Kiku-chan. Sounds like you have an idea. You will now be taken \to your mecha. Good luck, ladies! * Kiku turns to the mayor, looks down, and pouts. "No fair. But I will anyway." * NovaAres replys, "The wise warrior attacks from the least expected quarter." * theBird hops off of the chair and flaps a few times on the way to his mistresses's shoulder, it's fairly obvious that it's wings arn't the only things moving it through the air. An escort arrvies to take you to your mecha (and brings a fresh JSDF unform for Kiku). (Is it blue?) Yes. * Kiku looks at the uniform and smiles a little, before blushing. "Um... wheeeere can I change?" In the dressing room. Which is....where? Just down the hall. * Kiku goes and pads her way down the hall, paying no mind to the guards, and changes! Woo. (Can we be guided to the mechs now? Or do Nova and Keika want to bond? ^_~) * theBird watches her go. * NovaAres replys to the mayor, "They will have my suit at the mecha hanger." That is correct. Aklong with keika's mecha and a brand-new pohysich mecha for Kiku. ...Dare I ask what happend to her old one, or if she even had one? You havenlt heard of Kuiku the first great mind-criminal? That;s her. (Kiku Eriko!) All that;s in the past, of course, but Kiku Eriko's pshyci powers were used to commit a plethora of crimes in Tokyo. This new mecha was built to take advamtage of those powers. A few rumors...I had imagined her to be...older. We're hoping she'll eventually lead us to whoever ws pulling her strings. She stole trillions of yen but was caught with only a few thousand. We figure she had to have had to give someone else the money. * Kiku comes back into the room in her nice (blue) JSDF suit, guards behind her, and says with a small blush, "This suit feels weird." * Keika snorts, "A pitty it wasn't us, it would save me the nessisity of being here." You notice the suit is a little too small for kiku and is rather tight, showing off her proportions nicely, and that she coiuldn;t close thentop two buttons. * theBird looks at Kiku, possilby because she's the only moving thing right now. * Keika just keeps facing the way she was, a little to the side of the door. * NovaAres notices Kiku's large endowment **SWEATDROP** * Kiku looks back at the Bird, and holds her plushie a little tighter. Which does not help the 'showing off her breasts at the moment' factor. * Keika reaches up and lightly slaps her raven's head, it squaks and then looks back at the map. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6) and gets 10. * Kiku looks around, seemingly not bothered by Nova's noticing, then says a little lazily, "Aren't we supposed to go now?" OK, then, off you go now. bring me back good news, and try to come back alive. It will be difficult to bring you any news at all if we are dead. The door opens and the escort leads you three into a truck. it speeds off to a military base outside tokyo and lets you otu at a hangar where you see your mecha. * NovaAres replys, "Acknowledged," and salutes the Mayor. She then turns around and makes toward exiting out of the office. (/me gets on the truck!) * Kiku gets guided. Hopefully the guards don't get fresh on the way . >_< * NovaAres gets out of the truck and goes over to her mecha. She excepts her suit from the liason and goes to change into it behind the port-a-change room provided for her. You are greeted in the jhanger by a very handsome young man in a JSDF uniform. You all notice how well-=muscled and absolutely del\icious he looks. * Kiku gets there and suddenly her gaze drifts towards one of the mecha, a huge blue and pink colored one with JSDF colors on it too. It's very shiny. "Oooooooooh..." she starts walking towards it very slowly. * Keika climbs out of the truck, and after standing still for a moment shrugs and walks directly twords her mecha, stopping when the handsom young man gets in her way. * Katsu smiles and says "Welcome to mecha Central, ladies. I'm Sergeant Katsu, chief mechanic. It's my jopb to keep these babies running. Ask me anything you like." * theBird is just along for the ride. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6) and gets 5. * NovaAres comes out shortly soon thereafter wearing a sleek, skin tight suit and is bearfooted. The thin suit shows off her form and rather not-nearly-as-endowed chest as Kiku's. * Kiku turns towards Katsu and says, excitedly, "Oh, oh, you're all attraaacted." She beams at him. I.... I.... We're supposed to keep it buisnesslike.... * theBird twists it's head around to eye Nova, and then watches Kiku and the man. But anyone looking at katsu in his rather tight unfiorm will see thr rather obvious signs. * NovaAres climbs into her small mecha, clearly named 'The Mirage' from the Kanji stamped on it. There seems to be hardly enough room for the pilot, let alone anything unessential in the cockpit. * Kiku giggles and moves towards him instead. "So, Sergeant Katsu, is my mecha all ready and stuff?" She points off at it with her free hand without looking. All.... All set, ma'am. * NovaAres seals the cockpit and begins running her systems tests in conjunction with A.R.E.S. Corporation technitians. And I will assume that mine is as well. Oh yes, ma'am. All set. * Keika walks past Katsu without looking at him. * Kiku continues giggling and then hands him her plushie and says, "Take gooood care of Haguro. I'll be back for him!" * theBird does the looking instead. * Keika approaches her mech, and as she does so the torso opens to reveal...a rather comfortable looking chair, there isn't anything in there that looks like a controll, or even a monitor or seatbelt. * Katsu smiles."Sure. I'll look after the plushie for you. And if you need anything at all, just ask." * NovaAres powers up her mecha, the mecha suddenly standing more erect, shortly thereafter and then, though an external speaker, she says, "I am ready to begin." 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6) and gets 5. * Kiku takes a short breath and seems to be distracted by Katsu, then eeps, blushes, and runs off towards her mech as fast as her slippered feet can take her. "Bye!" * Keika climbs in and the doors close behind her, moments later her mecha stands up on it's own. (shall we take a moment for mecha descriptions?) Good idea. Everyone describe what your mecha looks like. * Kiku 's mecha is pretty darn big (Awkward Size 4, here), and like she said before, all shiny blue and pink and JSDF markers. There's something you might think of as the hilt of a beam saber at her slightly feminine (even for its size) mecha's hip, and a lot of especially reflective spots scattered all over the machine. There is something like 'hair' coming off the back of the head, but it's a solid stylized block. (Did that make it?) The Mirage is a smaller mecha with a blue and purple color scheme. The A.R.E.S. Corporation logo is clearly visible, as is the name of the mecha, The Mirage, stampted in black Kanji . The mecha seems to have various weapons systems, in particular of note, seems to be a single, large energy cannon that is likely extendable fro mit's appearance - probably the mecha equivelent of a sniper gun. * Keika 's mecha's head is about twenty feet off of the ground, with the barrel of the longer of the two cannons mounted on its' back and the 'wrists' of it's wings reaching up to about twenty five. It's quite feminine in appearance, with skelital and bladed wings. General color scheme is blue and white. (not that the wings arn't acutaly engraved to look like bones or anything, just that there's nothing there but support structure) Good luvck! Se ya later, Kiku! * Kiku 's mecha waves at Katsu after it starts its loud working hum. Obviously not the quietist of beasts. She slowly walks out while trying to figure out if she can talk to the new people. * NovaAres walks her mecha out of the hanger. **THOOM THOOM THOOM** (though not as much THOOM as with Keika's since her mecha is quite a bit larger ; ) ) * Keika hovers hers out, and it's amaizingly quite for something of it's size. * FlightControl syas "Thsi si Flguth Control. Lay in your courses." (... what if we don't have flight? Or is it just a term?) * NovaAres , once out of the hanger, lifts up and hovers a few meters off of the concrete. it's commonmecha parlance for deployment into battle. * Keika calls out over the radio, (and not on the same frequency as flightcontrollers) "So, who's going where?" * Kiku thinks/says, "Wow, this is... neat." Everyone hears that. * NovaAres secures a channel to Kiku and replys, "Not the front door.", with a slight cheerfulness noticable in her voice. * NovaAres asks Kiku, "Do you have a suggestion for a best combined attack approach?" * Kiku says, "Right, not the front door, because the evil strategists wanted us to. And I can't fly, so maybe I should go over..." she trails off, then finishes. "Hills?" * NovaAres replys, "Then hills it is." (Is Kiku still sending to everybody?) (Yeah.) * Kiku blinks a few times, then continues, "And Keika can come from the sky when we're almost there! I'm sure she can handle it!" * Keika calls out over her radio again, "I can, NovaAre was it? How fast are you in the air?" * NovaAres continues to communicate with Kiku, "From the size of your unit, I gather you are a front line assault mecha? Heavy Armor and Firepower?" * Kiku pauses, and her mech stops too, then she says, "Armor, and a shield thing, and--ooh!" * NovaAres responds, "Greater than Mach one." * Kiku pulls off the beam saber and it sparks up. But that's no saber. That's a whip. * NovaAres asks Keika the same question, "What about you Keika? You also seem much like a front line assault mecha?" I've got a few tricks, but going up against an entire army...not my thing. As you are duiscussing this, you are getting closer to the Slythe camp. * Kiku 's mech nods and she says to everyone, "Well, um, I'm kinda slow, so if you come down right before I come over the hill, they'll be all confused!" (I was unaware that we'd even taken off yet) * NovaAres says, "I prefer surprise to a direct assault. My unit's smaller size and capabilities are optimized for such tactics." (We are outside the hangars, and moving, I think.) (as ar as I know, we are still at the handger, hovering beside Keika in Nova's case) * GM shrugs. I though you;d already laid in your courses and were on your way. * Kiku nods. "It'll be a sur--" Her communication suddenly gets noisy, but her mech starts walking. (Nova's taking lead from Keika, whom hasn't noted that she was moving out yet.) How is this? We wait for Kiku to get into position, and then come down from above, annoy them for a bit and then lead them to where Kiku is waiting...Have anything in there for taking out lots of targets at once? * NovaAres hovers along nearby Keika's mecha. As Keika moves out, Nova follows, hovering off the ground nearby. All clear! preapre to move out! * NovaAres responds to Keika, "Affirmative." * Kiku 's voice finally comes back, and she says, sad, "Well, um... not really..." Her tone brightens. "But it's a good plan!" * NovaAres acknowledges Flight Control, "Affirmative, Control. Nova out." Unless either of you has a better idea... * Keika switches to the tower frequecy for a moment, "peapared." * NovaAres responds, "Nothing comes to mind, although I much prefer sniping targets to all out assault - it's more efficient, if the time is not in short supply." * Keika switches back, "new plan, I hit them from above to start with, You snipe them when they come up to greet me, and Kiku can attack when she gets there." * NovaAres responds, "Nova Acknowledged." * Kiku keeps walking! Thud thud thud thud. She's actually probably going a nice 120 KPH once she gets to speed. "That's a good plan too." * Keika spreads her mechas wings, and laizily starts to gain altitude, "lemmie know when you are ready." * NovaAres responds, "We shouldn't engage the enemy much before Kiku can join in the combat." * Keika lets a bit of irriation into her voice, "Which is why I'm going to wait untill she's ready." 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6) and gets 7. * Kiku 's comm channel suddenly sparks noissy, twice, and she turns to circle around the enemy camp. "I... take a while, Keika." * NovaAres responds, "Nove Acknowledged," as she increases her altitude to the minimum safe distance above any powerlines, trees, and buildings that might pose a danger to her. Suddenly the air begins warping around her mecha and her mecha vanishes (much like a Klingon Bird of Prey or the like from Star Trek). I am in no hurry to die. * NovaAres disappears visually as well as from sensor systems. * Kiku says nervously, "Ares-san's gone." The S;lythe base is about ten minutes away at Kiku's running speed. Makes her job easier (Remember, I'm circling around. Gotta hit from the hill-side.) * Keika is also nearly not there to scanners, but if anybody were to stick their heads out and look, yeah there's a diminishing speck in the sky that's about the right shape. I'm tsaking that into account. * FlightControl is now known as Slythe * Kiku thud-thud-thuds! She's put her whip away and is focusing on the moving. * Rowyn is now known as Millie (So Kiku's just about in place, and we get a desc of the base for our flyers?) * NovaAres flies ahead to a good position that gives her concealment (trees perhaps), yet still alows her a clear view of the surrounding terrain so that she may get a clear view of Kiku approaching her enemy base, as well as the sky for when Keika enters the soon to be battle. You see a small group of tents, enough to hold about 200 solcideirs. Five mecha are patrolling the perimiter, black mechas with things that look like rfiles in their arms. In the center of the base is a large rocket, apparently aimned at the heart of Tokyo. (How many mecha?) (Andn what are we talking about for size?) (five he says) Five, plus muerous self-prope;lled guns and other behicles. (er... yeah =/) Evet\ryoine wuith mental powers make Soul rolls. (Well, I meant size as in 'How much do all our mechs dwarf them, or not?) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6) and gets 4. (Win by 2) 2d6-6 (presumming mind shield applies) 2d6-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for NovaAres (2d6-6) and gets -1. (If mind shield applies, I made by 3.) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keika (2d6) and gets 5. * Kiku blinks, and tries to tell Keika and Ares-san, "Ack! They're gonna shoot! Gotta go!" She keeps moving to crest the hill and advance on the army! * NovaAres keeps an especially close watch on the rocket system and if there looks to be anyone attempting to activate the controls, she'll act. * Keika rolls and heads in twrods the rocket. Smoke begins to appear at the back of the rocket. It's warming up to laun\ch. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keika (2d6) and gets 10. * NovaAres takes aim on the launcher, plannin on attempting to disable the launch system before it launches. * Keika takes aim at the rocket itself. Make your attack rolls. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keika (2d6-4) and gets 7. (I'm not in melee range, am I?) Not of the rocket, no. (Of a troop?) (Ahh, Kieka has dice hate! ^____^) (Ouch. That is el dice hate.) (eyes char sheet Major dice hate, my favorite gun just broke ;_;) * NovaAres says over their channel, "Nova locking onto targets." She fires her Gyrorockets, one at each of four enemy mecha, and the fifth at the rocket launch system. Nova, Keika's failed attack was not detected. Are you still going to shoot the launcher, or othe rocket itself? (Did it succeed? I thought that she indicated that she missed?) * Keika 's shorter gun charges up with flashing lights, and then emmits a horrible clunking nosie and goes quite. Nom, she said her gun jammed. (oh) * Kiku runs! Man, they'd have to be deaf and unable to hear to not detect her coming as she pulls out the whip and it cracks to life. (Er, feel. Unable to feel.) 2d6 2 * Keika proves that she can swear fluently in two languages, and badly in at least three more. * Dicesuke throws the bones for Slythe (2d6 2) and gets 5. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Slythe (2d6) and gets 10. * NovaAres waits, powering up her Valykie cannon, incase Keika's next attach misses. Kiku, make one defense roll. (Ranged or Melee?) Ranged. (ranged, melee? and shouldn't we roll init at some point?) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6-3) and gets 3. (Make by 1) (Er. By 3.) Two Slythe mecha fire at you as you approach -- you dodge one and the other misses badly. Numerous smaller guns striek your mecha but have no effect oin your armor. Now roll intitiative. d6+12 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Slythe (2d6) and gets 10. * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (d6+12) and gets 17. d6+15 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keika (d6+15) and gets 21. 2d6+10 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Slythe (2d6+10) and gets 18. (Er?) (Um, BESM uses d6+init, ne? ^^;) 1d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for NovaAres (1d6+7) and gets 11. (Isn't init just one d6 in BESM, or did they change that in the revision that I didn't see?) (I don't think they did. That's a tristat thing...) d6+5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Slythe (d6+5) and gets 11. (If you want two dice rolls on one line, seperate the number of rolls with the roll by a space.) (For example.) We go in this order -- keika, Kiku, all Slythe. (Eh... Later, if you want to see. ^^;) Nova, you're still aiming. You can fire this turn. * Keika fires her OTHER gun at the rocket, a thin beam of light pierces down and... 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keika (2d6-3) and gets 4. (hit by 2) The rocket explodes. Destroying everything around it in a fifty-foot radius. (I don't suppose I got any of the mecha with that did I?) Yoy get a lot of the smaller vehicles. The mecha are buffeted but stay on their feet. * Keika laughs over the radio. Kiku, your turn. Fiorst make a Mind roll 9since your psyche controls your mecha) (Have I closed with one (or more Mechs?) (And does anything benefit that roll?) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6) and gets 7. (Made anyway.) Yes, you ahve closed with both. But make your roll first. * Brett (vortex@pool-141-151-115-84.scr.east.verizon.net) has left #deathblossoms (Made by 1.) You are not knoekced down by the blast. You may now attack. * Baofu (Garulfo@AStrasbourg-251-1-32-240.w82-126.abo.wanadoo.fr) has left #deathblossoms * Kiku 's whip lashes out at each mech in turn in pair of smooth slicing cuts. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6-3) and gets 1. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6-3) and gets 4. (Made by 5 and 2, respectively.) Your critical the first traget -- it explodes. Do your damage to the second target. (That's 76 damage.) (...She has an ACV of nine? @_@) (Criticals should only happen on a natural 2, not a modified to - otherwise criticals are gonna be real common) (Flexible.) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Slythe (2d6) and gets 5. Both mecha explode anyway. Novam your turn. (Dicy generaly lets people know when they crit) (Do any previously unknown enemy units seem to show up, or just the one's we already know about?) Just the ones you already knew about. The whole compound is in chaos. And nobody knows you;re there. * NovaAres fires at the most powerful looking enemy mech (Which I gather is one of the three remaining black mecha) Coirrect. Roll your dice. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for NovaAres (2d6-2) and gets 7. (poop - no) It's the Slythe's turn. One of them aims their rifles at each of you. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Slythe (2d6) and gets 10. (The rocket explosion must have fowled her aim - yeah, that's it ; ) ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Slythe (2d6) and gets 9. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Slythe (2d6) and gets 7. (Michael! roll 3 2d6) Nova, roll a dCV roll. Everyone else got missed. * NovaAres 's cloaking system decloaked as she was in the process of firing. Seeing an incoming attack, she attempts to dodge aside and reengage her cloaking system. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for NovaAres (2d6-3) and gets 4. (yes, made) You dodge the attack and re-cloak. However, the enemy now knows something hostile is in your general area. Everyone roll Initiaitive again. 1d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for NovaAres (1d6+7) and gets 12. d6+12 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (d6+12) and gets 14. d6+15 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keika (d6+15) and gets 16. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Slythe (d6+7) and gets 12. keika, kuku, Nova and then the Slythe. (Daaaaaamnnnn - you two are super fast O_O!!) (yes ^_^) (Speed 6, Manouvre 4. 10 CP for 2 DCV and 6 initiativev. Worth it? ... Not really. ^_~) (Zippy!) (I went with high manover and lifted a unique from NDs list) (anyway, how high up off the ground am I now?) (Ah) (cause if I keep going down two long I'm going to meet it at an annoyingly high rate of speed) About 75 meters. You can see the whole base from here are are still well within both your and their weapon range. * Keika starts to level out her flightpath, but not so much that she can't take a parting shot at one of the black mecha. Most of the camp is a flaming ruin. 2d6-3 Make your attack roll. * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keika (2d6-3) and gets 3. (made by.) 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Slythe (2d6-1) and gets 6. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Slythe (2d6) and gets 5. The mech takes full damsge from your attack. (yay 36, that gun is weak) There is a hole in its armor but it does not appear otherwise to be hurt. Kiku? (Targets in range?) There's one mech you can reach with your whip, the one who shot at you. * Kiku gives it a good whipping. "No shooting me! If you do, then Katsu will be all busy." 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6-3) and gets 2. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6-3) and gets 0. (Poor thing. It got some good whipping.) (Whip it good!) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Slythe (2d6) and gets 6. 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Slythe (2d6+2) and gets 9. It takes damage from two whip atgtacks. (That's a pair of 76s.) BOOM! It explodes. (Daaaaaaammmmmmnnn O_O!!) (She only has the one normal attack. And it's melee. There's a reason she's so heavily armored) (Elfy, you do NOT want to know what the gun that exploded on me did. ^_______^) (Ut oh =./) (Pshaw. You will blow peoples' heads off when the time comes.) (Anyway! Someone elss's turn!) 2d6-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for NovaAres (2d6-6) and gets 2. (right now is a good time for the blowing up of heads) * Kiku makes noises of being pleassed at her attacks! Novam it is now your turn. * NovaAres moves to a different location while fully cloaked and unleashes her Gyro-Jet array. Each of the three remaining enemy mecha are targeted, as well as two other locations that'll hurt the enemy the worst. She remains cloaked the whole time, the missiles suddenly appearing out of thin air. She keeps on the move. 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for NovaAres (2d6-1) and gets 1, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "I love you. Do you love me too? Y_ N_" (hell yeah!) (YES! DICY YES!) (Holy shit, somethin's dying.) ( Y ) None of the targets get to make defense rolls. Both mechs explode, and huge explosions rock three other strategic points on the base. All Sltyhe who are capable of harming you are destroyed and do not get to act. Everyone make Soul rolls, adding any Mind Shields. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keika (2d6) and gets 11. 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6-1) and gets 7. (Damn! Missed by 1.) (...anybody have DR they could loan me?) (Heh - makes up for my original mistake - her first attack would have actually hit =D ) 2d6-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for NovaAres (2d6-6) and gets 0. (yes) * Keika stops her mecha dead still in the air, and it slowly rotates to face what's left of the base, "That's IT!?" * Kiku suddenly looks up for Keika, saying, softly, tauntingly, "Keika, where aaaare you?" (Sensors! Can my sensors get her?) * Keika suddenly notices that there is one thing still moveing down there. (Think it's awarness+4) (*holds action untill the GM makes his decision) I think Awareness +4 is right. (The book has it at mind check - bonuses for being close, if the target's 'difficult'.) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6) and gets 7. (On Awareness+4, I made it.) (then yeah, you see me, I'm just floating a few dozen feet off the ground) Everyone roll Initiative. 1d6+12 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (1d6+12) and gets 14. d6+15 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keika (d6+15) and gets 17. 1d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for NovaAres (1d6+7) and gets 9. Keika \goes first, then Kiku then Nova. * Kiku 's mech suddenly looks towards Keika and frowns. "Aww, so far AWAY..." * Keika laughs again and flys straight at Kiku, maybe she'll be in melee by the time it's Kiku's turn, but for now she fires her gun again. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keika (2d6-3) and gets 6. (made by 0) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6-3) and gets 2. (Made by 4.) Make your defense roll, adding Ranged Defense, Kiku. (She did) (Sorry, running off the world. ^_^;) (and got clean out of the way. ;_;) keikai is now in range, Kiku. You can attempt to strike her. (I've got +what to my deff rolls for you having flexable?) (+1) (Lets find out how bad my dice hate realy is. Bring IT!) * Kiku says, semi-angry/pouty, "This is for your bird making faces at Haguro!" The whip comes around in a grab for Keika's mech's leg. Make your attack roll. 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6-1) and gets 7. (Ha! Shouldn't have grabbed for the leg. Missed by 1. Second attack coming up!) * Kiku misses with the whip, but her otheer hand comes around for a big punch instead! She even says, "Pow!" 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6) and gets 3. (Made by 3.) Defesne roll, keika. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Keika (2d6-3) and gets 5. (made by 1 ;_;) Kiku, your might blow misses keikia's mecha by inches. Nova's turn. (We going by normal combat or the rules for oppos...I gues that answers that question...this is going to be a long fight.) (I'm able to fire then?) Yes. (Note: If I make a character for this game, give the mecha an aura+AoE attack.) * NovaAres decloaks and fires her Valkyrie Cannon at her target. You design your own mecha. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for NovaAres (2d6-4) and gets 2. (yes) (I thought about that, but decided that I didn't want to blow up my teammates that much ;P) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Slythe (2d6) and gets 10. (Amen.) (That was then, this is now. DIE DIE DIEDIEDIE!) The traget vanishes in the explosion. keika and Kiku are free of their compulsions. * Kiku wobbles on her feet and the whip's energy fades. She says softly, "Wha... what... I..." she looks right at Keika, who's REALLY CLOSE. * NovaAres recloaks and moves to another location while scanning and visually checking the area for any other viaable enemy targets. * Keika mech's right wing starts to glow as she closes in on Kiku's mech...and once again stops cold in the air, feet from her target, "The hell was that!?" * Kiku 's voice wavers, "I... we... I wanted to kill you." Her mech looks ashamed. "'m sorry." * Keika powers down her weapon and rotates her mecha to verticle, "I intend to find the one that caused this...and then step on him. Coming?" * Kiku hops with glee. "Yes! Angry! How are you, Ares-san" (Did she detect any further viable targets?) * NovaAres says through a secure communication's link to the others two, "Target eleminated. All systems are fully functional." * Slythe is now known as FlightControl ...That's nice. Where was the target? The fact that it died does not change my mind. * NovaAres continues, "I detect no further viable ememy units within range." * FlightControl can be heard on your radios. "We've been following the battele on sattelite. Good job, ladies. You;ve done enough. Come on home." * NovaAres responds, "Dust in the wind." * NovaAres responds to Flight Control, "Understood Control. Nova out." 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6) and gets 8. ... * Kiku pouts for a second, then jumps up and down, making great big foot holes in the ground. "Yay! Now I can go to a not a cell and get drugs!" Yes yes. Ahem, no drugs for Kiku. * Kiku 's mecha starts emitting a great degree of static when FlightControl says that. * NovaAres decloaks and starts flying towards home. You guys going home? ...Ground? May I remind you that it is not wise to antagonize the woman in the giant robot who just attacked a crewmate? (in a bit) But if you insist... If there are no further objections, you get back to the base without incident. * Kiku 's mecha continues being staticy off-and-on as she walks home. It's almost like the mech is sulking. * Keika 's mecha floats back to the base, just as slowly as it left. * NovaAres hovers near the hanger and sets her mecha down. She walks into the hanger and positions her mecha into it's bay. She powers it down, the mecha partially squatting as she does, and climbs out. * Kiku sulks her way back into the bay and gets out of her mecha. She looks incredibly distressed, and the twitches are back. But she's still hot! * NovaAres goes to the temporary changing booth, her body glistening though the thin, skin tight suit, and changes back into her normal clothes as the technitians look after her mecha. * Keika arrives sometime later, having taken the sceinic route back, floating her mecha into the hanger and then parking it with it's wings extended, she climbs out, looking just as calm as ever, her bird sitting on her shoulder. * Kiku doesn't have anything to change into. Is Katsu around? * Keika stands still a moment. * NovaAres sits quietly in the transport vehicle waiting on the others. * Katsu walks into the bay. "HI, Kiku! Here's your plushie. I told you I'd take good care of it." 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6) and gets 7. (You SUCK, Empathy check. >_<) Say, Kiku=chan, we actually have a terioyaki shop at this base. How would you feel about dinner? * Kiku looks at Katsu and smiles for a second, before the smile twitches, and she nearly RUNS at him. But instead of tackling him, she grabs the plushie and holds it like it's life itself. "Thanks a lot, Katsu." * Keika starts to walk twords where Kiku and Katsu are standing. * Katsu sayd "I hear the mission was pretty rough. I'm not going to ask the details. it's enought hat you got back OK. Especially you, Kiku-chan." That is nice, now before the two of you run off for your date... * Keika lifts a hand and actualy points at her mecha, "Somebody fix that." * Kiku smiles at Katsu, then whirls at Keika, almost falling over. "Wha?" "what's the problem?" My EMP cannon blew itself out...again. No problem. My men will get another one out of stores. You'll eb ready for the next mission, no problem. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6) and gets 10. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6) and gets 3. Hey, Takishima! Fetch a XZ-72 for Keika! * Kiku closes her eyes and makes a small whimpering noise. * Bird gives Katsu what might have been a dubious looks. In that case, I hope that the two of you have fun tonight. Excuse me. Takishima is taking care of it, keika. now I believe the little lady is hungry. Excuse us? You see a moving machine carrying an EMP cannon over to keika's mecha. * Kiku snapes her eyes open and she looks at Keika, and her voice says, with very interested tinges, "Oh, angry aga--aawwwww." she pouts. * Keika snorts, "Didn't I just tell you to go?" OK. The adve\nture per-se is over, just soem blue-booking to take care of.
