Robotech - Tales of the UEEF (Main)

[Sherwood]

Thing fires his rifle, and unlike Scorch, his shot connects to the head of the Soldier and blows a hole through the delicate eyepiece and into the squishy organic parts inside, killing it instantly.

In response to the sudden arrival of the three Cyclones, the Soldiers split their fire with each one of you getting shot at by the heavy weapon on the arm of the slug.

Psychie Red Shadow Claws and Orikanyo need to post a dodge roll, and Grumpy is up next.

25 - Scorch [2]
23 - Thing [2]
18 - Soldier 2-4 [1]
4 - Grumpy <====

 

[Orikanyo]

Grumpy attempts to dodge out of the way upon his cyclone, still having the speed from before, he then pulls up his valiant after stopping for a second, aiming for Soldier 2's eye piece.

"Bloody hell I'm much better in a valkyrie.. Shouyld've brushed up on cyclone training..."

 

[Sherwood]

Despite his lack of detailed combat training in the Cyclone, Grumpy manages to duck out of the way of the Invid Soldier's attack. In return, his head shot against Soldier 2 does massive damage to the weak armor of the head, but it is still active.

Down the hall, you can see the Paraxians are busy with their own dance against the Invid, and are managing to hold their own so far.

Psychie is up, and I need a dodge roll from you and Red Shadow Claws

25 - Scorch [2] <====
23 - Thing [2]

18 - Soldier 3-4 [1]

Red Shadow Claws is up

[Red Shadow Claws]

With a quick somersault, thing tries to evade the shot aimed at him, and fires one of his own

 

[Sherwood]

The Thing is able to evade the incoming fire successfully, and in return, his counter attack is quite successful. The shot hits the Soldier in the head and takes it clean off, and the remains falls to the ground with a thud.

The last Soldier fires its attack at Grumpy, trying to take you out of the fight. It misses, leaving you free to fire back.

[Sherwood]

Another miss. Perhaps you need more training in the Cyclones to keep this from happening!

Red Shadow Claws is up next, facing off against just one Invid

25 - Scorch [6]
23 - Thing [4] <====
18 - Soldier 4 [2]
4 - Grumpy [4]

 

[Red Shadow Claws]

Time to take them out

 

[Sherwood]

With a Critical Strike, The Thing finishes off the Invid Soldiers. When you look up, you can see that the Temple guards have managed to finish off the three Soldiers that they were facing, and the five women turn to face you, wondering what to expect from you. One of the women steps forward and plant her pike butt first on the ground. "You stood against the Invid to help us save our most sacred building. We owe you our thanks, so we will not make an issue of you being inside the Temple. Who are you?"

 

[Orikanyo]

"We are the Storm Dragons of the UEEF, my name is David Darwin, it is our mission to free this world from the grasp of the invid. We're only sorry we didn't get these roaches before they got in here!" Grumpy smiled with a salute, putting his rifle butt upon the ground, mirroring the movements of the woman.

"Have they done damage to other parts of the temple? We've managed to deal with what scrimm we've found out in the city."

 

[Red Shadow Claws]

Things gets of the Cyclone, and turns to them in their traditional greeting sign. "We Thank you for allowing us in, and we're sorry for the intrusion. If not for those creatures coming in, we wouldn't think to enter the halls of your sacred place."

 

[Psychie]

Amanda offers up a slight bow. "I believe that I speak for all of us when we say that we have no desire to profane this special place, but we felt it was necessary to come in and stop the Invid from doing irreparable damage. It is the hope of the entire UEEF that we can free your people from the yoke of the Invid, and even now, our forces are at work in the city, moving on the slugs wherever they find them."

 

[Sherwood]

The women give you all a long look, then the one that spoke to you nods. "Very well. We shall escort you back to the entrance while our other Battle Sisters continue to search the Temple to make sure that none of the Invid slipped past us. Come. There may be more of these 'slugs' as you call them making a run on us."

From Alex you do hear that five of the six other teams that were deployed to secure the anti-gravity generators were successful in getting to their objectives and have them under guard with several of the Paraxians there to assist. Only one of the generators got damaged, and the city only needs three to keep flying. Also, the Scrim hunt has been very successful, and the few that were able to vent their nerve gas had the Rapid Response Teams on scene quickly to keep the civilian casualties down. Overall, it has been a very good day. All that is left is the main body of the hive itself.

 

[Orikanyo]

"Well, at least we have the perimeter set up, and once we cut off the invid hive thats all she wrote save for stragglers..." Grumpy paused. "...Don't we have a big weapon that can puncture the Hive's defenses?" The man added as he was most definitly not looking at the extremely muscular behind of a nearby paraxian warrior.

"...I wonder... Are all Paraxians brought up from the same strain of genes? Or are there multiple...?" His scientific curiousity peaked as he gazed around at the temple around them, mostly at the guards themselves, hard not to really when their tall and strong enough to crush your head between their thighs...

....

Okay maybe it wasn't only scientific interest... He admitted this, in his head, as he kept his camera recording the whole way through. What was he kidding, these folks likely don't got the need for a fellah at all after all these years with the temple.

Fighting is likely their whole thing... But... then again... hmm...

...Well he wasn't gonna test it here, with the bloody guards.

 

[Psychie]

Amanda laughs at Grumpy's question. "We do. Its the ship-based Syncro Cannon on the Shimakaze. The problem is, not only is that ship busy vaporizing hives in other locations, if the weapon were to be used in the city, it would wipe out most of what we're fighting to keep in one piece. That cannon is not a scalpel to do precise surgery; its a massive sledgehammer. Not what I want my doctor to use on me."

 

[Orikanyo]

"True, just keeping track of what we got is all, not like the hive is gonna last long I feel.." Grumpy smirked. "We just removed their hand on the neck of this race of people with a long history of warfare, you think they wont take this opportunity?

I wana see em in action, its gonna be crazy awesome."

 

[Red Shadow Claws]

Thing turns to Amanda "Luckily for you, this doctor is proficient with both a scalpel and a sledgehammer, let's go and cut the Slug Hive from this place."

 

[Sherwood]

The three of you are escorted back out to the entrance where the larger mecha are waiting. There are more Paraxians there now; some from inside the Temple, but many more that have gathered from various locations around the city. These women are all packing various archaic weapons with an advanced twist to them, such as explosive tipped arrows and monofilament blade spears that can cut through metal like butter. There must be at least a hundred of these warrior women here, all marveling at the sight of the UEEF mecha out front.

Before you can get to your Valkyries, a group of four women come walking up to you. Three of them are obviously guards that are escorting a older woman wearing beautiful white robes that have been marred with blood. From the way she carries herself, you can tell that she is someone that the Paraxians consider to be very important. She asks, "Why were these outsiders inside the Temple?"

One of your escorts lets out a quiet hiss, "High Priestess!" and quickly gives a report of how the three of you risked your lives to come to the aid of the Temple guards. The elder woman says nothing during this, just watches you with a raised eyebrow. Finally, she nods. "Then we are in your debt. Please, for a moment, remove your helmets. I wish to see your faces."

 

[Orikanyo]

Oh god damn if the guards were hot this one was enough to make his heart stop. Ah fuck what should he say, what should he do? What if they grimace at his face? He hasn't shaved in awhile, fuuuuuuuck, god damn it why did they all have to be so damn beautiful!

Come on David, you can do this, use the age old trick of imagining their all in their underwear- Ah shit this was definitly not working!!!!

With a tentative hand he reach up towards his helmet, come on David smile or.. something! Ignore the butterflies in your stomache! Crush em! Like one of these glorious beauties crush a invid soldier- Shit that ain't helpin either.

The man finally removed his helmet and revealed himself to the woman and the crowd.

 

[Psychie]

Amanda wonders what they stepped into when this High Priestess comes walking up to them and starts asking questions about why they were in the Temple. I just hope we haven't screwed things up between the Paraxians and the UEEF. Well, I guess we'll find out here soon enough. She nods. "Of course, ma'am. As you wish." She reaches up and unfastens her helmet and pulls it off her head, and gives her hair a bit of a shake to let the long blonde hair fall free. Amanda then looks up at this High Priestess, hoping for a good response.

 

[Red Shadow Claws]

Thing tries to remember the proper responses to a Praxian High Priestess, and does his best to follow them, as he removes his helmet, and let's his Spherian nature be revealed fully.
