Robotech - Southern Cross Adventure

[Gundam Watcher 27]

Taking aim at primary drone 2 with the Pulse laser.

 

[Psychie]

Bursting out of the hall you were in, Ryuko is able to get the first shot off against the drones. Her pulse laser lances out and hits the armor of the drone, doing light damage to it.

Deunan grinds her teeth. "Damnit, I said use your missiles on those Primary Drones! Missiles!" She drops her tank down into guardian mode to target the damaged drone with her main gun.

Deunan's cannon fire hits the one drone hard, but its armor still holds.

[Psychie]

Critical Strike! The MPAT shell was perfectly aimed to hit all four of the drones, exploding in their midst and taking them all out in one shot!

"Ai Dios mio... (Oh my God...)" Gabi muttered and shook her head.

Ryuko was given one simple order from LT Conway and once again she went off and did her own thing. When would she learn? Gabi felt she should have been firing on primary Drone #3, but now she was forced to clean up Ryuko's mess by instead aiming on #2.

As ordered, Gabi loosed 4 of her Plasma mini-missiles at the heavily-damaged Primary Drone #2.

[Psychie]

Gabi launches her four pack of mini's and they slam into the damaged drone with explosive results, taking it out of the fight.

Neo and Costas both fire on Primary Drone 3 and score solid hits, but the armor is still holding strong, even if it is weakened.

[D. Rex]

As much as Marlon had the urge to take to tank mode. Marlon steeled himself to stay in the battloid form. And reminded himself that if he ever got back to base, he would convince someone to make a much more potent gunpod.

But it wasn't without its uses, at least. Pointing it at the damage primary drone, Marlkn fired off a long burst to try and finish it.

Strike: Nat 4

 

[Psychie]

Cooper fires off two of her own missiles at the damaged drone and manages to score a killing blow to it.

Moving to our regularly scheduled program of the normal initiative order, starting with Ryuko.

[Gundam Watcher 27]

"Uh, sorry about that! My hand slipped! "

Ryuko would shake off her own stupid mistake and take aim at primary drone 4, missiles locked and loaded.

 

[Psychie]

Ryuko tries to line up a shot at the drone, but is a little quick to trigger off her missiles, and they go wide without having a lock-on.

Targeting the Primary Defense Drone, Deunan fires her main gun to try and wipe it out.

[Psychie]

Deunan targets the Primary Drone, but the damn thing manages to dodge out of the way of her particle cannon shot!

O'Brien calls out, "Going with two more of my medium missiles!" With that, he triggers off his payload at the drone, but it raises up its arm-mounted lasers and fires on them, blowing one of the two missiles out of the air. Luckily the second missile still hits, but it does not do enough damage to destroy the drone.

[Rykon]

Alan, still grinning with satisfaction at the scatting scrap of 4 heavy droids, turns his MPAT rounds to the next group and fires at Heavy Droids 5-8.

[A miss. oh well.]

 

[Psychie]

When Alan fires, the proximity fuse on the shell malfunctions, and the MPAT shell explodes early.

Light Drones 1-3 swoop into motion, and they target Deunan in her hover tank. They will all hit unless you dodge.

Purr is up, and Sherwood has a defense roll to make.

Since I'm tank mode, I can't parry, so I'll have to dodge.

"Whoa! Olé, olé, olé!* LT, that was sweet! How in the world did you dodge that in tank mode, LT?" Gabi knew the VHTs had their boosters, but to dodge laser fire in tank mode while in space was something Gabi had to admire. She imagined it was like trying to get an 18-wheeler semi with a fully-loaded trailer from one highway lane into another in the same time it took a Smart Car to do the same thing.

Spoiler: *

The Olé chant originated in Spain. The word ole is a Spanish interjection which is often associated with bullfighting... The word is typically chanted by a crowd for a team or player who made an exceptional performance. (ellipsis mine. Source: Wikipedia)

Following Conway's original order, Gabriela tried to lock four of her plasma mini-missiles onto the remaining Primary drone and blow it off the combat field. The smaller the pieces, the better.

[Psychie]

Gabi manages to hit the fast moving drone with her missiles, and does enough to wipe out the last of the Primary Defense Drones in the area.

Neo drops her tank down into its guardian mode and fires her main gun at Heavy Drone 5, and manages to blow it to smithereens.

Light Drone 4-6 decide to go for a shot at Gabi, and they will hit unless you dodge.

Lt. Costas tries his luck on Light Drone number 7, but misses his attack.

Light Drone 7-9 all fire on Neo, but the young pilot manages to jump her tank to the side and evades the attack.

D. Rex is up with Marlon, and Purr has his defense to declare.

[Purr]

Gritting her teeth unconsciously, Gabi kicked in her maneuvering jets in an attempt to Dodge the incoming fire.

 

[Psychie]

Of the incoming shots, one does come close to scorching your hull, but Gabi is otherwise able to evade all the laser blasts.

D. Rex is up.

 

[D. Rex]

Marlon hated these stupid gunpods. Half the time they didn't work and the other half they tickled if they hit at all. Nothing like a proper canon. But had to stick to it. Thougj the others didn't seem to have reserves about it anymore.

Swinging the crappod around, Marlon focuses fire on Light Dromes 7-9 to give Neo some cover fire.

Strike: 29
Damage: 50

 

[Psychie]

Marlon's Eu-11 fires off a spray of energy bolts and you hit Drone 7, doing decent damage to the light robot.

Heavy Drones 6-8 target Alan with their heavy particle beam cannons, and they will hit unless you dodge.

Cooper follows Marlon's attack on the light drone with a shot from her Gu-11, bringing the bot to the very edge of destruction, but it is still active.
