Robotech - Southern Cross Adventure

[D. Rex]

Marlon swivels to aim at the blues opening fire on Neo. Launching a burst from his gunpod to break the suppressing fire being laid down on his squadmate.

Target: Blue 13
Strike: 22
Damage: 40

 

[Psychie]

The target of Marlon's attack tries to dodge out of the way, but you manage to score a hit on it.

Instead of attacking, Blues 2-3 and 4-6 all break off and bolt higher, heading towards the bright red drop ship that is hovering up about a mile high in the air, using its own weapons to engage the various fixed wing aircraft that dare to approach it.

Sherwood is up with Deunan.

[Rykon]

Alan chimes in on the squad band radio as several bioroids begin to retreat to the dropship. "Hey boss, that dropship is in range of the PPC by my read. You thinkin what I'm thinkin?"

 

[Sherwood]

Deunan grins. "If you are thinking that we shouldn't let these assholes go without doing our best to take that ship out, you and I are on the same page! Everyone, target that ship with all you got! If we can take it out, lets do so!" She checks her PPC and sees that it is still cycling up and will be a moment before it can shoot again. "Ryuko and Gabi. Once that thing starts to boost away, you two are the only ones that can follow it, even for a short distance. How much ordnance do you two have on your wings?"

In the meantime, she takes aim at the dropship and fires a burst from her Eu-11 at it, knowing that her little pop gun will only scratch the paint, but every little bit counts.

Total of 30 MD to it.

Deunan manages to score some light damage to the drop ship with your Eu-11, but it is far from out of the fight.

"My cannon's almost cooled down. Let's get ready to break the ship!" Alan shouts over the squad band. He levels one more shot from EU-11 at the ship, hoping he'll have access to the main cannon again soon before the vessel departs.

50 MD if it lands.

[Psychie]

Alan's shot hits the dropship, doing a bit more damage than Deunan did, but it is a very big ship, and has lots of armor to it. It will take more than this to bring it down.

In response, the dropship begins to lift higher, trying to get out of range.

The rest of the Bioroids are clearly breaking off, and are all heading up to rendezvous with their ride back up into space.

Neo manages to get a burst off from her own Eu-11 before the dropship is out of range, adding a little bit more damage to it.

[Gundam Watcher 27]

Ryuko would contact Marlon.
"Permission to chase down?"

 

[D. Rex]

"Not yet. Wait for it to boost away." Marlon said, repeating what Duenan had requested. "What ordinance you got left?"


They were not but peppering the drop ship. No doubt it didnt feel threatened. But once they fired their PPCs at it... if it somehow survived it would certainly flee. Softened up for the Ajaxs, Gabi and Ryuko could finish it off easily.

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

"19 missiles and my PPC. Gabi, what's your status?"

 

[Psychie]

At the moment, the ship is out of reach of your Ion Pulse Weapon on the Ajax, so the options you have is to either fire missiles, try to boost up closer and hope that you can get in the 1,600 foot range of the Ion Weapon, or hold your action.

Gundam Watcher 27 What do you do?

 

[Sherwood]

Deunan calls out, "If you want, use your guns on some of the Bioroids as they run home. Then, once the tanks have softened it up, you and Gabi can hammer it with your missiles before it gets out of range."

 

[Purr]

Gabi, what's your status?"

"I'm good. Just a light hit on my starboard side, chica. Nothing to worry about." Gabi addresseed Conway. "Ready to fire my remaining ordnance on your command, LT."

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

I'm waiting for orders IC

 

[Sherwood]

I'm waiting for orders IC

Deunan calls out, "If you want, use your guns on some of the Bioroids as they run home. Then, once the tanks have softened it up, you and Gabi can hammer it with your missiles before it gets out of range."

 

[Gundam Watcher 27]

"Roger that!"
The Ajax took aim at Blue 3 before firing.

 

[Psychie]

Ryuko's shot is a bit off target, but the Blue is more focused on trying to get up to the same altitude as the dropship and get inside to worry about dodging. You score a light hit.

"You got it, LT! I'm gonna give these Blues the blues!" Gabi liked the idea of the Bioroids returning to the dropship and then hitting it with everything they had.

Gabriela opened fire with both ion cannons on the damaged Bioroid that Ryuko had scored on.

Gabi fires, and her twin blasts cut into the damaged armor of the Blue Bioroid and blows it out of the air.

[D. Rex]

As the bioroid began fleeing, Marlon lowered his gunpod.

But not out of any mercy. He would rather see them die. But the dropship seemed to be the new target. And if they could take out the dropship while they were on board then they could destroy all at once.

With a slide of the switch, Marlon changed to tank mode.

His PPC was still cooling. But he would be sure he was ready to fire.

He would take his time with his aim, locking his reticle onto the dropship. And carefully making sure his blast would hit.


Goodness know... his aim needs it.


Target: Dropship

Taking Aim.

 

[Psychie]

Marlon elevates his main gun up, and lets his computer take a good long look at the enemy ship, locking onto the hull of the vessel.

Blue 2 and Blues 4-6 all manage to enter the dropship, and are out of sight now. The other Bioroids are on their way up to the ship.

Sherwood is up with your last action for the round.

Seeing that the enemy mecha are on the retreat, Deunan switches her Spartas to its Tank mode, and also elevates the barrel up to take careful aim at the dropship. "Gabi, Ryuko, use your missiles and hit that big red bastard! Once we see what's left, the rest of the squad will hammer it with our PPCs! Everyone, get ready to fire as soon as your cannons are cycled up!"

Taking careful aim for the bonus on my next round.
