Army of the Southern Cross

[ViciousVip3R]

"I don't know about you guys, but a pair of guards sound way easier to take care of than 3 MPAs and 6 infantry. Let's seize the captain and impose our will on the ship." suggests Marcus.

 

[Psychie]

"Sounds like a plan to me. From inside the observation bubble, we can spray fire down into the bridge and do some serious damage. Lets move!"

 

[Orikanyo]

"And here I thought I was the C.O here. But good idea lets head on up. We can download the virus from a terminal upstairs most likely." heinrich added as the random number generator decided the point of which he was going to act. Why the hell did they add this feature into the machine he has no idea, it made each fight turn into a game of some sort.

 

[Sherwood]

Current initiative order

23 - Moira
22 - Marcus
21 - Heinrich

We just need AldarisLordOfLight and possibly Silanon if he's available with family/holiday time issues.

 

[AldarisLordOfLight]

"So we are going for the captain of the ship! Now we're getting somewhere. At least we're not daft enough to go for what basically constitutes as a company on this ship. Let's go get ourselves a ship now..."

 

[Silanon]

"Sounds good to me - right behind you. Let's see what they have in store for us." Doing her best to catch every little detail that might be of importance for command later on, Fia follows right behind the others, prepared to take on whatever awaits.

 

[Sherwood]

Looking out, you can immediately tell that there is no way to make the run from your hiding position to the lift up to the Observation Bubble without being seen by the Zentraedi in the hall, but you will be able to get there before they can do more than fire a few rounds at you. Eric manages to call out, "Go! I'll distract these guys! Get moving!"

Psychie is up, what do you do?

23 - Moira 0/40/0 <====
22 - Marcus
21 - Heinrich
17 - Adrian
16 - MPA 1-3
10 - Infantry 1-3
8 - Fia
7 - Infantry 4-6
6 - Eric 120/0/0

 

[Psychie]

Making a run for the lifts, Moira decides to put a little bit of weapon fire down range at the males guarding the bridge access with her main cannon. Extending the barrel out, she fires a snap shot at the first of the Male Powered Armor units.

 

[Sherwood]

The particle cannon roars, and you manage to catch the Zentraedi by surprise. The shot lands a solid hit on the first of the powered armor suits, doing a lot of damage. The massive impact of the bolt slams the pilot down to the deck, causing him to struggle to get back to his feet before he's fired on again.

ViciousVip3R is up. MPA 1 will be at minuses to his defense rolls against you if you want to try and take him out.

23 - Moira 0/40/0 [1]
22 - Marcus <====
21 - Heinrich
17 - Adrian
16 - MPA 1 [1] badly damaged
16 - MPA 2-3
10 - Infantry 1-3
8 - Fia
7 - Infantry 4-6
6 - Eric 120/0/0

 

[ViciousVip3R]

Gritting his teeth, Marcus also charges towards the bubble. "I'll take any kill I can get" he grunts as he swivels to let loose a shot at the still smoking MPA 1.

 

[Sherwood]

Your well-aimed shot is just enough to knock out the systems of the Male Power Armor, and the thing collapses in a heap on the deck. It is probable that the pilot is still alive, but he'll be stuck for a while as he tries to claw his way out of the ruined armor.

Orikanyo is up with Heinrich

23 - Moira 0/40/0 [1]
22 - Marcus [1]
21 - Heinrich <====
17 - Adrian
16 - MPA 2-3
10 - Infantry 1-3
8 - Fia
7 - Infantry 4-6
6 - Eric 120/0/0

 

[Orikanyo]

"Eric you take care of yourself! We're heading on up! once we have the captain secured we'll be back to help you, if we don't hold the ship by the balls." Heinrich fired a burst from his gunpod upon infantry 1 to force them down as he made his way to the lift.

 

[Sherwood]

Clean miss, but it does make the infantry scatter and dive for cover.

AldarisLordOfLight is up

23 - Moira 0/40/0 [1]
22 - Marcus [1]
21 - Heinrich [1]
17 - Adrian <====

7 - Infantry 4-6
6 - Eric 120/0/0

 

[AldarisLordOfLight]

"We trust you mate; take care, make every shot count and stay alive!" Adrian makes a mad-dash for the lift as he takes a quick snapshot at the MPA-2 with his gun pod...

 

[Sherwood]

Adrian fires a burst, scoring a light hit on MPA 2. Its armor is holding well.

The two suits of Powered Armor both open up with their chest mounted grenade launchers at Moira. They will hit unless you dodge, or you can parry.

The first three of the infantry line up a series of bursts with their assault rifles at Marcus. Two of the three will hit unless you dodge, or you can parry.

Silanon is up, and both Psychie and ViciousVip3R need to declare their defense.

23 - Moira 0/40/0 [1]
22 - Marcus [1]
21 - Heinrich [1]
17 - Adrian [1]
16 - MPA 2 [1] light damage
16 - MPA 3 [1]
10 - Infantry 1-3 [2]
8 - Fia <====
7 - Infantry 4-6
6 - Eric 120/0/0

 

[Psychie]

Moira sees the grenades coming towards her, and in response she turns up the speed to try and run past them to try and dodge, all the while raising up a arm shield in case the Zentraedi are lucky.

 

[ViciousVip3R]

"Shit" mutters Marcus as he rolls to the nearest cover. The way he positions his body ensures that any projectiles that make contact will slam into the heavily armored back/shoulder portion.

 

[Sherwood]

Moira gets tagged by one of the two grenade bursts, but you do manage to maneuver one of your shields into position to save your main body from getting hit. You take 50 MDC.

Marcus dives to the side, but one of the soldiers manages to track on you as you go, and you take a total of 40 MDC.

Silanon is up

23 - Moira 50/40/0 [1]
22 - Marcus [1] 40/0/0
21 - Heinrich [1]
17 - Adrian [1]
16 - MPA 2 [1] light damage
16 - MPA 3 [1]
10 - Infantry 1-3 [2]
8 - Fia <====
7 - Infantry 4-6
6 - Eric 120/0/0

 

[Silanon]

Staying just a few steps behind to give the others enough space to maneuver, Fia does her best to give covering fire at the foes ahead. Aiming for MPA 2 in particular, she releases a shot of her main gun. "Watch out, y'all - they're aiming well."

 

[Sherwood]

MPA 2 cuts in his jets to dive to the side and avoids Fia's blast.

Infantry members 4-6 see that many of the squad are making a run for the lift to the Observation Bubble, and they fire at Moira to try and slow her down. They will hit unless you dodge or parry.

In the monitor screens, Eric can be seen grinning. "Lets give some psych warfare a try!" He turns on his external speakers and begins to blast music out at top volume. While the troops are distracted by the melody, he raises up his twin heavy guns and fires at MPA 2. They hit, causing catastrophic damage to the mecha, destroying it completely.

Psychie is up and needs to either dodge, parry, or take the hit.

23 - Moira 50/40/0 [1] <====
22 - Marcus [1] 40/0/0
21 - Heinrich [1]
17 - Adrian [1]

10 - Infantry 1-3 [2]
8 - Fia [1]
7 - Infantry 4-6 [1]
6 - Eric 120/0/0 [1]

 

[Psychie]

Now that the Zentraedi are distracted by the music, it might be easier to hit with her own main gun. Skidding to an abrupt halt, Moira tries to both dodge the infantry fire and let out a shot of her own against the remaining Powered Armor unit.

 

[Psychie]

Seeing that the shots are probably going to hit, Moira will try to parry, splitting the damage between her two shields.

 

[Sherwood]

These troopers must have been expecting you to pull some stunt like this, because all three manage to track on you as you skid to a halt. You take a total of 90 MDC split between your two shields.

Moira's return fire, however, does much better. You hit MPA 3 with a resounding punch, doing a sizable amount of damage.

ViciousVip3R is up

7 - Infantry 4-6 [1]
6 - Eric 120/0/0 [1]

 

[ViciousVip3R]

"Mop up duty again, eh?" says Marcus with a smile, "not that I'm complaining". Slowing down momentarily, Marcus takes careful aim at MPA 3 and opens fire.

 

[Sherwood]

Even as distracted by the music they are, the MPA is still able to dodge nimbly out of the way Marcus' shot.
