>>24662784Did you know you can press ctrl + s to add spoiler tags? Cos I didn't til now
>>24663150Yup.>>24662789Oh, hey, I'm blue again. Good.
>>24663330>>24663330>>24663330Say hi to ERP
>>24661414"Mediterranean Fleet, flagship Lucky Jervis! Heading out! Everyone~ Follow ME~!">Skirting across the the coastal horizon, no less then four J-class kanmusu scoured the storied waters of the emerald isles, each bearing the full might of their namesake destroyers compacted into a marketable girlish form! From where they floated, it would be just about impossible to tell they had once been host to a devastating conflict, the ruins thankfully made long before Ireland's junction into Arenal space.>Still, couldn't ever be too sure that recent past hadn't left an artifact or two to stumble by...
>>24661414>>24663437>The Combined Fleet members weren't the *only* friendly albeit foreign military force operating within Western Ireland at this moment. Helping to ensure continued security and stability from the malignant influences and forces of the Arena was the United Nations Space Command. More specifically, the venerable Stalwart-class light frigate the UNSC Tip of the Spear was on station near Cork county and holding steady at a solid kilometer in the skies. >In all likelihood, the small flotilla of destroyers need only to glance up to see the warship alongside their terrestrial sensors such as RADAR. >The UNSC spaceship certainly clocked them, sensor officer observing their activity and reporting to both the vessel's Dumb AI and captain.
>>24662789>>24663519>Is it time!?
>>24663521>I was hoping to catch you too. >If Aussa's around and game for it, I can get a reply written up real quick.
>>24663521>IS IT?>I can certainly try.>>24663437>Wait, there's FOUR of them??>Mmm, I was almost going to have some weirdos populate the locale....
>>24663529>>24663539>I'm ready when ya'll are.
Color check
>>24663539>Glad to have you with us! I'll have something written up real quick then. >Also feel free to hit us up with some Ireland stuff too if you want. >>24663545>Hell yeah, I'm on it.
>>24662784>Good evening.
>>24663545ROUGE.>>24663554>>24663545Sure thing. It was Gordon's turn last we left off I believe.
>>24663539>>24653810>>24663545>>24653820(https://archive.palanq.win/bant/thread/24648402/#24653820)>It was clear to the Marine sergeant seeing Florence off that she was QUITE eager to crush some 'Cons and show off what she could do with her Zoid. >Good. The UNSC would be all too happy to help and see what they could do together. >Easily keeping pace with the fast moving ground unit, the Stalwart had likely already detected the Decepticon outpost with its long-range sensors. And seeking to preemptively act, the Spear's comm ensign in conjunction with the artificial intelligence, Marco Polo, acted. Radio communications would be jammed for the enemy base, the likely first indicator that something *bad* was about to beset the poor purple bastards, cameras from the UNSC vessel likewise ready to observe and record the coming violence. >>24663565>Yep, here it goes!
>>24663565>>24663572Who's after Gordo?
>>24663583Aussa's next in the turn order I believe then you/Venom.
>>24663587Cool, thanks.
>>24663545>>24663572>>24653820>Ahem, well then.>Yes, let's pretend she had the wherewithal to use one of those.>CHARLEMAGNE will make itself known on the outskirts after coming to a stop with a horrible roar, followed shortly by a broadcasting of Florence's voice.Your attention, please~.>...And about three seconds later she pipes up again, with a...shift in both tone and volume.GET YOUR ASSES OUT HERE!>...The first 'con that pokes its' head out is getting double-fisted by the long-rage pulse rifles.>Also, behold this, a mockup I made from the DS Genosaurer sprite. Florence got the paint brush out for it.>>24663583>Mmmeeeee.>And now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aR1vemTmfk
>>24663572>>24663591>To say the Cons are unwelcoming is an understatement.>Three Vehicons come out blasters firing.>One is blown to bits by the pulse riffle.
>>24663591>>24663598>The Tip of the Spear kept to its subtle approach. Or as best as a 1,025,150 ton flying titanium brick could at a distant range from the now embattled base. Of the three bogies that emerged first, one ate it at the outset almost immediately courtesy of what analysis indicated was some manner of energy weapon from Charlamagne. >The remaining duo were seen returning fire, the captain and everyone aboard who were watching interested to see if the Zoid would either be able to dodge the shots OR simply tank the Energon-based strikes. >Likewise, attempts would be made to try and see how many hostile units were active in the Decepticon facility via sensors from the Tip of the Spear.
>>24663519>From such a vantage above, the pack wouldn't appear much more than minute specks scarcely taking more volume than ordinary people, were it not for the trails of smoke rising out their funnels in tandem with disproportionately large wakes carved upon the waters by their travel path. J-CLASS #1: "Whoa, up high!">The most inquisitive and familiar of their number would be the one who would predict the identity of the strange shape skyward, collectively easing their advance with a graceful ease to inspect on stable moorings.Javelin: The UNSC...Jervis: Huh? The spacemen? That is their spaceship? Where are the fins? Wouldn't it fall down at this speed?Javelin: Correct. Correct, she's one of their smaller vessels if I'm remembering the silhouette correct. They've harnessed forces beyond our understanding to reach this world, and I would suspect many such power their craft's functions.J-CLASS #2: "Do you think it has anything to do with what the battleships are undergoing... Or you?">Crude, tiny little blaster turrets wiggled across the split rigging upon Javelin's manifest upon their conscious calling out, setting themselves and herself apart from her sister destroyer kanmusu.Javelin: It remains to be seen.>>24663539>(Eight, in fact! Those unseen remain in flux, but assume they're part of your fleet too, taking part in second-line actions where you can't zoom into their faces or get a bead on their unstated personalities.)>>24663564>(It's early morning here, yet hullo none-the-less!)
cool thread
>>24663610>>24663598>Oh, right, since its' her time to shine, her theme, Murderous Smile;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O71qUcvBYMsUSELESS, USELESS! >Such feeble rounds are nothing to the mighty Geno Saurer's defenses! After soaking up the initial barrage, it pounces forward, aiming to land on one of the remaining two as one of the Zoid's claw-arms launches out on a wire towards the third, hauling it close with a mauling yank before crushing it in the claw's grip as Florence begins to fire in to the outpost itself with the back-mounted guns.Ahem, it's useless to resist~.
>>24663623>Mass scanners alone noted the (usual) high-tonnage discrepancy that was unique to these "ship girls" that the UNSC was getting increasingly familiar with. Plus their cameras had a good bead on them too, belching smoke stacks and large wakes and the familiar Javelin's "additions" visible to the militaristic spacers. How curious... >Just as curious how such a large craft was able to float easily in atmosphere as well. Although if they looked closely and had the senses or sensors for it, engines at the stern were continually flaring to provide a stable ride for the warship for one thing. >Out of a desire borne both of professionalism to Ireland's ongoing security and curiosity, captain Hector Leone ordered his comm officer to hail the most familiar of their lot first, Javelin.
>>24663610>>24663643>The base turns out is a Vehicon factory! >Just as the starters are mutilated, some even screaming.>More comes out firing."Is that a Dinobot!?""Impossible! They are all dead!"
>>24663623>Aw, that's cheeky.>>24663623>>24663519>Anyhow. Can the Tip of the Spear detect lifesigns? Because there's some down there, sort of. Rather, there's quite a lot beyond plant life, and its' not the local tourism business: There's quite a few blobs of blue scattered across the island moving around rapidly-though a sharper eye or sufficiently advanced magnification abilities might identify them as group of blue...things moving in clusters to look bigger than they are.
>>24663643>>24663652>Florence's excitement was evident even at a distance. And in spite of it all, she didn't seem to get blindsided yet in the chaos of combat, her crimson mount readily absorbing the punishment that was inflicted upon him. Her ongoing bumrush saw more hostile units destroyed in short order, only for more to emerge from what scans indicated was a construction facility of some type. >Either way, Florence needed to be warned, the comm officer aboard the Spear hailing the pilot. (ENS DAR) Be advised Florence, that facility appears to be capable of constructing additional combat units. Recommend destroying the structure by any means necessary to ensure mission success and survivability. >On the off-chance her Zoid couldn't do such a thing at this juncture, the observing captain gave a knowing nod to his weapons officer. The man nodded back as he primed a number of Archer missiles, targeting solutions being inputted and safety covers popped off...
>>24663623>Good morning then!
>>24663684>>24663652I wouldn't know about them, but YOU'RE ABOUT TO BE!>A quick shot from the head-mounted gun before she flings her landing- and crushing victims at the incoming forces...OHOHOHO! The more they set up, the more I'll knock down!>Only to charge in to them with the lack of fear and same sheer speed it exhibited in its' runup to the place and crash in to them with furious vigor, even whipping sideways to clothesline them with the tail for maximum coverage!>She's- she's really tearing in to them, quite literally, grasping ahold of anything she can and alternating between clawing them apart and using old-fashioned torque to rip segments from each other.
>>24663684>>24663761>It was quickly turning into a blood bath down there.>Some Vehicons took to the air.>They would try to bombard the attacking Not-Dinobot with death from above.>Even attacking the ground around her to disable it's balance.
>>24663650>These kanmusu appeared to be equipped with radios secured through relatively primitive noise encryption, arranged for the mission to prevent simple eavesdropping. It might take a spell for the Tip of the Spear to understand the response through the other end, matching the noise signal.Come in? This is HMS Javelin F61 of the Combined Fleet, speaking.>>24663659Troublesome. Jervis, all optics to shore please, I think I'm detecting an anomaly inland. >Even if those blasters were a rather superficial addition in the scheme of things compared to what some of the other vessels had received, the destroyer couldn't help but indulge herself by acting a bit like a space science vessel.
>>24663659>>24663799Hey? I'm in charge here, still!>Nevertheless, the sister vessel to Javelin would do as told, directing her suite of telescope-aided spotters and even radar to see what she could discern.
>>24663761>>24663786>Things were getting messy indeed, Florence's cleanup operation getting a curveball when the Decepticons transformed and went airborne! It remained to be seen if Charlamagne would be up to the task and his pilot, but the captain of the Spear didn't want to risk her life needlessly as it were. >Time to give her a hand, both the communications and weapons officers going to work with a go-ahead from the captain, the former addressing Florence... (ENS DAR) Heads up ma'am, we're going to provide you some fire support with a missile barrage. Stand clear of the structure and don't get too close to the airborne units. >... while the weapons officer proceeded to line up targets, Archer missiles taking aim at the factory while Streak missiles targeted the flying "Vehicons". Shortly after the warning was given by the comm ensign, a large number of warheads were sent downward to hammer their targets. A dozen Archer anti-ship missiles for the factory and several Streak anti-fighter missiles for the Decepticon flyers.
>>24663786>>24663814>Well, it might be enough to get her to jump off-center out of the blast zone at least-wait-DID YOU THINK THAT'D SAVE YOU? Seriously, did you~?>It might not be capable of flight, but it has thrust-assisted movement and pairing that with a raw jump ability, it can get pretty far up. >Far enough up...to fire its' claws out at a pair of the fliers, grab onto them, and rip them out of the sky as she reels up to propel herself further, and pounce on a third!>Riding it down to the ground as she grapples another pair to whip them in to the path of the oncoming missiles.Who said I needed the help!?
>>24663659>>24663799>>24663810>Good enough for the Spear then, the encryption being resolved with some help from its capable "Dumb" AI, Marco Polo. The captain naturally was the first to address the destroyer. (CPT LEO) HMS Javelin, this is captain Hector Leone of the Stalwart light-frigate UNSC Tip of the Spear, FFG-150. We read you loud and clear. >The man didn't *quite* know that Jervis was the flagship of this flotilla just yet. But all the same they would have to work together for what was seeming to come to Ireland's shores. The spaceship damn well was picking something up, the sensor officer frowning at what her readouts were reporting at her station... >The captain was naturally alerted, the man focusing on the main view screen as high-powered cameras dialed in on the blue blobs that coalesced together. What would they see together? >The captain spoke again in a crisp tone, although there was a degree of reproach in his voice too considering what may come. (CPT LEO) Combined Fleet flotilla, we're tracking a number of unknowns not far from your position. How copy?
>>24663814>>24663846>Vehicons scream at they are ripped out the air.>It was becoming horrifying clear why Grimlock chose to have Florence attack a Con base and not a sparing match with their own allays.>Two well placed shots hit the Zoid to knock it back.Runabout: Is that a slagging Dinobot!?Runamuck: No way, they were all killed on the moon!
>>24663810>>24663799>>24663867>It's...they're...!>Blue.>And ugly.>They appear to all be identical-looking blobby blue teardrop-shaped creatures with a face only a mother, or perhaps a lover of ugly-cute, could appreciate.>The island is teeming with them. Hundreds-thousands, maybe even! If you had to spitball a size on them...about .7 meters each? There's a little variance between them but that looks about average.>Helped by one apart from the rest, staring vacantly out to sea with a gormless look upon its' hideous, underbite-heavy face.>They, clearly, are infesting the land, scouring it like a great many swarms of ants on some sort of search.
>>24663846>>24663880>Now it was a proper bloodbath, the killcounts being analyzed and displayed with captain Leone's approval on the main screen as the fight continued. At this point, he saw fit to chime in and address the agitated pilot himself. (CPT LEO) We're happy to assist all the same and we figured you could use it, Florence. >He along with the rest of the bridge crew for that matter could tell that she was STILL putting on a helluva clinic. That was until TWO different looking Decepticons showed up and nailed her Zoid with enough power to knock the duo back. >The captain narrowed his eyes at the sight, a quiet word being given to his weapons officer as he spoke more loudly to Florence again. (CPT LEO) Do you need a hand with these ones?
>>24663887Some kind of... Smiling waste? No-no, that's just poor dental pushing their teeth out... There's a whole lot of them!>The novelty of the situation was enough to give Jervis some pause as she contemplated what to do with the funky, slimy creatures. They were kind of homely and clearly didn't belong here, yet she wasn't the type to jump to conclusions!Should we try and chat with them?
>>24663896>>24663880>To be fair, she does let out a little surprised yelp at the hit.WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!?>...But she sounds an awful lot like she just had her personal honor slighted by taking a hit good enoguh to actually knock her off-balance, as her Charlemagne is knocked off the Vehicon she was riding down and has to recover in order to hit the ground standing.Ohoho! You presume to doubt King Grimlock's WILL MADE MANIFEST, do you!?>That was both transmitted and sent over loudspeaker, considering it about responds to both of them. Her flipping between the excessive attempts at sounding elegant and downright thuggish is going to give someone whiplash. But not her, apparently, despite what were doubtlessly some high-G maneuvers she just pulled off, aha....>The Geno Saurer lowers itself a little to pop off a few shots with the back rifles, aiming for area disruption as she darts off to one side, and then back the other. Oh yes, she's trying to close in!
>>24663896>>24663931Runabout: Primus! What is that thing?>The two transform racing between the shots to circle the Zoid.Runamuck: hehehe, sounds female.>The two battle charges pick up speed, sticking the Zoid in a wind vortex.
>>24663867>Better the girl they knew, she presumed. Copy that captain, I take it you are the vessel currently seventy degrees of our position azimuth overhead? Reconnaissance. We are operating on a reconnaissance mission, and have picked up a multitude of... >>24663887Invasive beings occupying the land at present, split into multitudes of masses about seventy centimetres in diameter? They appear to consist of a translucent, gelatinous material.>>24663922You're the leader Jervis... Hm, I recommend you and I land in an attempt to establish dialogue with the beings. Everyone else can cover our transaction... Action stations.>Already, Javelin would take the vanguard position heaving herself to shore, seeking a stable platform to support her weight as she beached with full combat tonnage. Her steps onto land would be measured, deliberate, giving the illusion she wasn't much heavier than she outwardly appeared, aside the occasional stone which shattered into dust on contact with the heel of her shoes.>A walking mass of girl, guns, and smoke approaches the slimes. Likely two as Jervis began following in concert!
>>24663931>>24663964>It was an interesting dichotomy, one that got a raised brow from more than one man and woman on the Spear's bridge. But Florence appeared to have the situation in hand so far. >Or so it seemed, the Decepticon duo turning into speeding cars that now circled the Zoid with force. >Whatever the now active vortex might do to Charlamagne, if anything, remained to be seen. Captain Leone was willing to give Florence a chance to act without his and the UNSC's help here. >Yet all the same, he took measures to again ensure the lady's success and survival. Namely by bringing the frigate closer and speaking to his weapons officer. (CPT LEO) Lieutenant, have you and Marco prep our point defense cannons. (LT HOR) Aye sir. >More than one turret swiveled to face and track the pair of circling 'Cons now. Although they held their fire for the moment...
>>24663964>>24664023Tch!>Trying to hide their angle of attack, are they!? It had to come to a halt to observe them for a second, head dipping side to side.IIndeed, I am quite the lady! This trick won't do you a lick of good~! JUST WATCH!>Whipping around in a circle opposite of the way the Battlechargers are turning she launches the claws once more, letting them whip around her in a circle! That'll hopefully catch something! Or at least scrape the hell out of at least one of their sides.
>>24664023>>24664063>She caught a wild Runamuck.Runamuck: Hey! Let go! >Runabout uses his built up speed to ram the Zoid to make it let go of his partner. >Runamuck transforms in an attempt to free himself.
>>24663887>>24664006>The UNSC got a good look at the azure creatures even before Javelin reported in, the captain muttering to himself at the sight. (CPT LEO) Just when I thought I'd seen it all... >Shaking his head, Hector spoke the destroyer the UNSC knew best at this stage. (CPT LEO) Correct Javelin. We ourselves were on patrol and to ensure continued security within Ireland following our own prior dealings within the country. >Operation: VERDANT DAWN from two years ago in which the UNSC, the Diamond Dogs, and Cute Fairies and United States remnants via the Last Battalion fought and successfully saved the island nation from Arena madness as spearheaded by the Master Chief. >Leaning closer at the main view screen, the skipper gave an (unseen) nod at what Javelin was reporting. (CPT LEO) We see and can confirm what you're seeing on our ends. We've likewise haven't dealt with such creatures before, but analysis from our AI indicates that they appear to be looking for something. >And at the flagship's recommendation >>24663922, it was clear the two were going to deal with them peacefully. Or at least attempt to do so first, the captain speaking in a cautious tone. (CPT LEO) You have our support Javelin. Tread lightly. >It may seem silly given the small slimes innocuous appearances, but there was no telling their dispositions just yet or what they were capable of. Never mind the fact that they readily outnumbered the now approaching two. >Thus the Tip of the Spear rumbled forward and drew closer to the island in short order, carefully watching and staying in contact with the Combined Fleet reps and operatives.
>>24664063>>24664089>Charlamagne and his pilot's gambit paid off, one of the circling duo getting caught by the Zoid! As the unfortunate Decepticon thrashed in his grip and transformed, their partner could likewise be seen trying to free them in their own way. >There wasn't much the UNSC warship could do at this point however, the risk of friendly fire too high with how close the Zoid was to the two Decepticons. It was all on the former to finish things, the bridge crew watching in anticipation!
>>24664089>>24664106>Runabout. Buddy. Guy. Pal. Dude. It's (probably) bigger than you and has a lot of nasty sharp bits.There you are!>Her footing was ready courtesy of a timely deploying of the stabilizers in its' feet, but it's still pushing her back a bit! Oh, she'll let go! >With one claw so that she can grab at Runabout! The other's holding on to Runamuck as he gets reeled in so that she can bash the two together and slam them to the ground.KNEEL BEFORE ME! Seriously, prostrate yourselves~.>That line's taken right from the games.
>>24664106>>24664141>This could have went better for the two.>Runabout transforms back as the two Battle chargers scramble backwards on the ground.Runabout: Wh-What are you!?Runamuck: Y-yeah what he said!
>>24664006>>24663922>>24664090>Gentleman. Ladies. You have Slimesign.>Gonna have to be careful, this right here is a class 3 and 4 UNESCO World Heritage site!Adzam. Adzam? >Most of them seem to not've noticed the interloper, save for one, possibly different from the one that was staring out at sea beforehand.Adzam!>It launches itself at the leading J-class!>Even if it hits, it's not going to be able to do any actual damage, though, so it's basically harmless despite the sudden aggression.
>>24664141>>24664153>The whole spectacle was interesting to say the least, one of the bridge crew saying as much. (ENS PTR) She's a colorful character, huh? >Kneel indeed, although the two misbegotten 'Cons were too busy cowering to do just that, the captain clicking his tongue at what he and the others saw. (CPT LEO) I almost feel bad for them. >Especially since king Grimlock called for Total Decepticon Death in this operation. The skipper had to wonder if Florence would follow her benefactor's orders here...
>>24664174>>24664153>You're about to feel worse! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAzKqz414sg>As the pair are scrambling back, the ship up above has begun to detect a rapidly-rising surge in output from the Geno Saurer despite the way it straightens itself out to seemingly...leer at them. >Charlemagne opens his mouth and allows a barrel to emerge from its' "throat", glowing with energy.Me? Ohohohoho! Isn't it obvious?>The gleam from the charging weapon of...whatever it is intensifies sharply for a second, before violently erupting in to a thin but rapidly-expanding particle beam of horrifying power!YOUR BETTER IN EVERY WAY!>The beam is swept upwards, cleaving in to the factory before she angles it to either side, thoroughly 'staring down' every side of the facility.>She's laughing. Loud, haughty, arrogant, and laced with the undertones of someone who enjoys what she's doing just a bit too much.
>>24664174>>24664186>What's not blowing up is on fire.>Look at the horrors that have been unleashed and tremble.>As well as remember....someone is building an army of these....
>>24664006Yeah, you really think they can talk? Hey, are you speaking to someone over the radio?>In contrast to her sister's route, Jervis would abruptly plow against the nearest beach to solid purchase, even managing a single skip onto soil without much more than leaving especially-heavy footprints upon them as the land appeared fit to provide her many tons of girth uncannily convenient support. The J-class waved over to the mysterious blue critters on her approach, presenting to them an eagerly disarming grin->>24664166Never fear, lucky Jervis is here! Lucky Jerv-EEK!?>Only to catch an agitated slime straight in the kisser, causing her to nearly topple over from shock alone! Her first instinct was to swat at the obstruction with the barrels of her aft turret, fearing contamination.
>>24664200>I need to call it here.
>>24664186>>24664200>Better AND worse in every way, a brief forewarning from the sensor officer heralding what was to come next. (ENS PTR) Energy spike, coming from the Zoid! >Soon enough, Charlamagne unleashed absolute Hell on his victims and the already damaged factory, everything and everyone getting annihilated. The captain and his crew watched in bated silence as the horrendous yet impressive scene played out for them, the skipper speaking in a quiet yet firm tone to his people. (CPT LEO) Interesting. And concerning. >This little demonstration had roundly proved the devastating utility and power of these "Zoids" for sure. The Decepticons hadn't stood a damn chance...>Just more reason to get their hands on one or several, the captain addressing the cackling Florence via radio. (CPT LEO) Impressive work. We're scanning for any remnants of the Decepticons but between you and me, I don't think any survived that blast you inflicted on them. >Indeed, sensor officer was doing just that to ensure there were no survivors. But preliminary analysis put the odds of anything being left in the low single digits! >>24664212>Fair enough! I appreciate playing with you in the meantime and hope we can resume a followup with the Zoid stuff.
>>24664090Acknowledged. We are now probing these creatures for intent, if any.>>24664166Excuse me- We come on behalf of this land's peoples to ask... What you aim to do...>>24664206>An aside glance was given from Javelin to Jervis; lucky their most notable sister after themselves hadn't been assigned to this mission, else Javelin was certain she would had befallen the indignity now besetting the flotilla leader.>Back at the shore, the other overlooking destroyers took the situation's turn with gravitas, leveraging their batteries the way of the blue mass in anticipation of trouble, calculating trajectories to ensure their shots landed ahead of their siblings.
>>24664166>>24664219>The UNSC knew enough about the current locale to understand they had to be careful in how they prosecuted things. They just couldn't damn well blow the island to kingdom come! >So when the apparent "aim" of one of the creatures was one unlucky destroyer's face >>24664206, the captain was put in a difficult position to say the least. To help ease the possible difficulties, he consulted with his ship's Dumb AI, Marco Polo. After getting his input, the captain deigned to speak to Javelin considering how Jervis was... occupied at the moment. (CPT LEO) Their intent seems to be fairly territorial and aggressive for that matter. If you can't deal with them peacefully or favorably, we recommend trying to lead them off of the island. Or at least away from sensitive areas given how it's a Heritage Site according to our database. >The captain didn't miss how the other destroyers were taking aim at the cerulean and invasive mass after all. And he wouldn't do any less, the skipper giving approval to his weapons officer to ready cannons and missiles in case they swarmed and potentially overwhelmed Javelin and Jervis.

It's like being ran in to by a riled-up housecat that couldn't stop in time. They're also pretty telegraphed in their behavior. They basically just bounce up and try and jump for a body-check. It's...not that difficult to avoid their attacks at present.>Well, J-class. You wouldn't just bombard a world heritage site, would you?>The rest of the aggregate masses appear to've either not noticed or simply do not presently care. Aerial observation would note that despite the externally disorganized behavior, they're moving in a pattern that has minimal overlap with other groups' routes. Which is to say, no traffic jams, and maximum area coverage. This suggests...something. Coordination?
>>24664231>It was clear enough to their correspondent that their foe wasn't one for negotiations, doubting they had any sapience beyond those of animals... Or slime mold. >>24664261>Some deliberation had to be made operating on land versus a surface which recognized buoyancy...We should fall back to shore and come up with a more elegant solution, wouldn't you agree?>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_vdgjqxFtU>Taking a more proactive role in contact avoidance, Javelin's retrofitted blaster batteries would come into clutch by striking at the marauding slimes with a flurry of energized particles set to a stunning intensity, outputting near a hundred such ring-shaped shots over the span of a few red seconds. Those which failed to tag a target would dissipate relatively harmlessly upon the fields surrounding them, at worst drying out the local grasses.

Does it notice this?>>24664290Upgrades?>She hadn't yet seen any of those Arenal modifications upon her sister in action, evidently.

And unfortunately it seemed as if negotiations wouldn't be possible with these simple yet aggressive creatures. >With Javelin and Jervis falling back, it was noted that the former possessed the same blaster weapons that were observed to be in use by the Gendarmeries. Albeit outfitted for naval use and thus able to output additional shots. >Hopefully it would be enough to quell their hostile company and buy them some breathing room as the two were currently assailed by a pair of blue slimes at the moment. The rest were noted by the Spear to be acting in a seemingly contradictory yet observable pattern and fashion. Again, they *seemed* to be here with a possible purpose... >At Jervis's prompting >>24664301, both destroyers would be hailed via radio. (CPT LEO) These creatures appear to be moving together without congesting their movements. Suffice to say perhaps backing off for now is the right idea. >And using non-lethal and less than destructive means to do it, the stun blasters netting the captain's quiet approval as he continued. (CPT LEO) We're still trying to see what or why they're here as well, but there's no signs or indications of it for now. >Indeed. The Tip of the Spear was trying to observe and report what may be attracting the slimes to the small Irish island in the first place!

No wait->https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2A43FW0fb4>Too close: Before Janus's close-in weapons array could get a tack on her foe, she'd been racked and rendered unrecognizable!
>>24667592>An existence like Ezreal's couldn't last if it wasn't excessively stubborn. The world had spent too long trying to erase such a thing to be rid of it so easily. Though, of course, one must wonder: what prompted such a thought in the first place, from one who lives as doggedly as he does?I forgot to charge my phone and now it's dead and I have nothing to do and I'm bored.

>>24667640Hm? I feel as if I can embark on mine dreams once again! Haha!>Never mind that she killed someone not long ago, she enjoyed her lucidity while the evil lingered.
>>24667640I can't kill what I can't find...>Ezreal responds while shaking a branch, hoping to rattle out a tribute.My immense aura has to be scaring them off. I've got a planet-sized aura, so it's invisible to the eye, but it can certainly be felt.

Let us be useful together until evil is no more.
>>24667758>Hundreds of years worth of experience has been accumulated fighting in these Arenas, but one lesson has never been taught: how do you counter a plasma bolt (or whatever sci-fi ammunition) to the brain? Ezreal tackles the problem head-on, and it causes his head to come off.
>>24667758I'll figure it out on my own. >The Chief (and Cortana!) were working well enough on behalf of the Combined Fleet so far. Case in point, the SPARTAN eliminated a hostile actor before he could kill the philosopher, the Chief racking the slide of his scattergun afterwards. Tango down.
